ALLEGHANY CORPORATION

New York, NY 10018
ALLEGHANY CORPORATION REPORTS 2017 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY, May 4, 2017 Alleghany Corporation (NYSE-Y) announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2017. Highlights are listed below.
● | Book value per common share1 was $530.86 as of March 31, 2017, an increase of 3.0% from book value per common share1 as of December 31, 2016. |
● | Alleghany reported net earnings2 of $149.2 million for the 2017 first quarter, compared with $154.5 million for the 2016 first quarter. |
● | Alleghany reported $9.67 of earnings per diluted share and $7.29 of operating earnings per diluted share for the 2017 first quarter, compared with $9.96 and $9.32, respectively, for the 2016 first quarter. |
Weston Hicks, President and chief executive officer of Alleghany, stated, Our first quarter results reflect strong investment performance, particularly by Alleghanys equity portfolio, and solid underwriting discipline at each of our (re)insurance businesses. Financial statement total return2 before tax was 1.7%, and net investment income increased 10.1% in the first quarter, primarily due to higher returns from our equity investment in Ares and investment returns in Ares-managed funds. The consolidated combined ratio for our (re)insurance businesses was 91.6 % in the 2017 first quarter, compared with 87.7% in the prior year first quarter. The 2017 first quarter underwriting results reflect favorable prior accident year reserve development of $47.7 million, primarily at TransRe and RSUI, compared with $85.3 million of favorable prior accident year reserve development in the first quarter of 2016. The 2017 first quarter favorable prior accident year reserve development is net of an unfavorable adjustment of $24.4 million arising from the U.K. Ministry of Justices decision to significantly reduce the discount rate, referred to as the Ogden rate, used to calculate lump-sum bodily injury payouts in personal injury insurance claims in the U.K. RSUI, CapSpecialty and PacificComp all performed well in the quarter and selectively expanded their net premiums written despite competitive pressures.

Mr. Hicks continued, Alleghany Capital had acceptable results in a seasonally slow quarter generating a pre-tax operating loss of $8.2 million compared with a loss of $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $2.1 million compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. Alleghany Capitals manufacturing and services businesses generated Adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase from $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, and SORC reduced its operating loss. Operating results were negatively impacted in the quarter due to some one-time, long-term compensation plan true-ups and the impact of a rise in price of Alleghany common stock on the plans. In the first quarter of 2017, Alleghany Capitals manufacturing and services businesses included ownership of Kentucky Trailer, IPS, Bourn & Koch and Jazwares. Alleghany Capitals investment in its operating businesses, including SORC, was $584.9 million as of March 31, 2017.

Reinsurance Segment
The decrease in TransRes net premiums written in the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016 primarily reflects $190.2 million of premiums in the first quarter of 2017 related to a large whole account quota share treaty, compared with $244.8 million of such premiums in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the quota share treaty reflects elevated premiums written in the first quarter of 2016 due to differences between initial premium estimates at contract inception, which were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, and actual data subsequently reported. In addition, the decrease in net premiums written in the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016 also reflects a decrease in international premiums written, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher ceded premiums written due to an increase in retrocessional coverage purchased in 2017.
TransRes 2017 first quarter combined ratio was 94.3%, compared with 89.8% for the 2016 first quarter. TransRes lower underwriting profit and higher combined ratio for the 2017 first quarter primarily reflects less favorable prior accident year loss reserve development primarily due to the impact of the Ogden rate change and, to a lesser extent, the impact of lower net premiums earned.
Insurance Segment
The increase in the insurance segment net premiums written in the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016 reflects continued growth at PacificComp and CapSpecialty, as well as an increase at RSUI. For the first quarter of 2017, PacificComps net premiums written increased by 18.6%, CapSpecialtys net premiums written increased by 3.6%, and RSUIs net premiums written increased by 5.2%.
2
The insurance segments 2017 first quarter combined ratio was 83.0%, compared with 80.6% for the 2016 first quarter. The higher combined ratio and lower underwriting profit for the 2017 first quarter primarily reflect less favorable prior accident year loss reserve development and the impact of lower net premiums earned and higher commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses at RSUI.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
Alleghany reported net investment income for the first quarter of 2017 of $115.5 million, an increase of 10.1% from the first quarter of 2016, primarily reflecting higher income from other invested assets, partially offset by lower dividend and interest income. The increase in other invested assets primarily reflects higher returns on our equity investment in Ares Management, LLC (Ares), and higher returns on investment in certain Ares managed funds.
Financial statement total return2 on investments was 1.7% for the 2017 first quarter, compared with 1.5% for the 2016 first quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this press release, Alleghanys results of operations have been presented in the way that Alleghany believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use financial information in evaluating the performance of Alleghany. This presentation includes the use of underwriting profit, operating earnings per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Also note that these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. A discussion of our calculation and use of these financial measures is provided below.
Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and loss adjustment expenses and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and does not include net investment income, net realized capital gains, other than temporary impairment losses, other income, other operating expenses, corporate administration, amortization of intangible assets and interest expense. Alleghany consistently uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to a segments underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss; and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance companys ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk.

Operating earnings per diluted share represents earnings per diluted share excluding (on an after-tax basis) net realized capital gains and other than temporary impairment losses, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Alleghany uses operating earnings per diluted share as a supplement to diluted earnings per share, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting earnings per diluted share attributable to its performance exclusive of realized capital gains or losses and impairments. A reconciliation of operating earnings per diluted share to diluted earnings per share is presented below.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure for our non-insurance operating subsidiaries and investments held by Alleghany Capital. Adjusted EBITDA represents other revenue less certain other expenses and does not include: (i) depreciation expense (a component of other operating expenses); (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) interest expense; (iv) net realized capital gains; (v) other than temporary impairment losses; and (vi) income taxes. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, income taxes, net realized capital gains, other than temporary impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indication of economic performance that is not affected by levels of debt, interest rates, effective tax rates or levels of depreciation and amortization resulting from purchase accounting. Alleghany uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of certain non-insurance operating subsidiaries and investments. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to earnings before income taxes is presented above in Segment Results-Alleghany Capital.
