NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of White Mountains. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reportable Segments

White Mountains has determined its reportable segments based on the nature of the underlying businesses, the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized and managed and the organization of the financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains’s reportable segments were HG Global/BAM, Ark, Kudu and Other Operations.

The HG Global/BAM segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“HG Global”) and the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) (collectively, “HG Global/BAM”). BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.9% of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4% of its common equity. White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity for which White Mountains is the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results are all attributed to non-controlling interests.

The Ark segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, marine & energy, specialty, accident & health and casualty. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 (the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0% after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing. For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by third-party insurance and reinsurance groups (“TPC Providers”) using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. Captions within results of operations and other comprehensive income are shown net of amounts relating to the TPC Providers share of the Syndicates’ results, including investment results.

9

The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic assistance to investees from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions typically are structured as minority preferred equity stakes with distribution rights, generally tied to gross revenues and designed to generate strong, stable cash yields. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 89.3% and 99.3% of the basic units outstanding (76.1% and 84.7% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

The Other Operations segment consists of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), PassportCard Limited (“PassportCard”) and DavidShield Life Insurance Agency (2000) Ltd. (“DavidShield”) (collectively, “PassportCard/DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), and certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets.

Discontinued Operations

On May 9, 2022, White Mountains Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (“WTM Holdings Seller”) and White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc. (“NSM Holdings”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “NSM SPA”) together with NSM Insurance HoldCo, LLC (“NSM” and, collectively with NSM Holdings, the “NSM Group”) to sell NSM Holdings for cash (the “NSM Transaction”) to investment funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group Inc. (“Carlyle”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” NSM is a full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) and program administrator with delegated binding authorities for specialty property and casualty insurance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.5% of the basic units outstanding of NSM (87.3% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

As a result of the NSM Transaction, effective as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion regarding White Mountains’s significant accounting policies.

Note 2. Significant Transactions

NSM

On May 9, 2022, WTM Holdings Seller entered into the NSM SPA to sell 100% of White Mountains’s equity interest in NSM Group to investment funds affiliated with Carlyle. The NSM Transaction closed on August 1, 2022. White Mountains received $1.4 billion in net cash proceeds at closing and recognized a net transaction gain of approximately $870.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The amount received at closing was based on estimates of cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. The proceeds may be adjusted upon determination of the final closing amounts.

Kudu

On May 26, 2022, Kudu raised $114.5 million of equity capital (the “Kudu Transaction”) from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Mass Mutual”), White Mountains and Kudu management. Mass Mutual, White Mountains and Kudu management contributed $64.1 million, $50.0 million and $0.4 million and in each case, at a pre-money valuation of 1.3x, or $114.0 million above the December 31, 2021 equity value of Kudu’s go-forward portfolio of participation contracts. As of June 30, 2022, Kudu’s go-forward portfolio of participation contracts excludes $39.1 million of enterprise value relating to two portfolio companies that had announced sale transactions prior to the capital raise. As a result of the Kudu Transaction, White Mountains’s basic ownership of Kudu decreased from 99.1% to 89.3%.

10

Ark

On October 1, 2020, White Mountains entered into a subscription and purchase agreement (the “Ark SPA”) with Ark and certain selling shareholders (collectively with Ark, the “Ark Sellers”). Under the terms of the Ark SPA, White Mountains agreed to contribute $605.4 million of equity capital to Ark, at a pre-money valuation of $300.0 million, and to purchase $40.9 million of shares from the Ark Sellers. White Mountains also agreed to contribute up to an additional $200.0 million of equity capital to Ark in 2021. In accordance with the Ark SPA, in the fourth quarter of 2020, White Mountains pre-funded/placed in escrow a total of $646.3 million in preparation for closing the Ark Transaction, including $280.0 million funded directly to Lloyd’s on behalf of Ark under the terms of a credit facility agreement and $366.3 million placed in escrow.

On January 1, 2021, White Mountains completed the Ark Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Ark SPA. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0%) after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing.

White Mountains recognized total assets acquired related to the Ark Transaction of $2.5 billion, including goodwill and other intangible assets of $292.5 million, and total liabilities of $1.7 billion, including contingent consideration of $22.5 million and non-controlling interest of $220.2 million. Ark incurred transaction costs of $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.     

In the third quarter of 2021, Ark issued $163.3 million of floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”) in three separate transactions. See Note 7 — “Debt.” In connection with the issuance of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes, White Mountains and Ark terminated White Mountains’s commitment to provide up to $200.0 million of additional equity capital to Ark in 2021.

The following presents additional details of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the January 1, 2021 acquisition date:

Millions	As of January 1, 2021
Investments	$	594.3
Cash	52.0		(1)
Reinsurance recoverables	433.4
Insurance premiums receivable	236.7
Ceded unearned premiums	170.2
Value of in-force business acquired	71.7
Other assets	88.9
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves	(696.0)
Unearned insurance premiums	(326.1)
Debt	(46.4)
Ceded reinsurance payable	(528.3)
Other liabilities	(25.9)
Net tangible assets acquired	24.5
Goodwill	116.8
Other intangible assets - syndicate underwriting capacity	175.7
Deferred tax liability on other intangible assets	(33.4)
Net assets acquired	$	283.6

(1) Cash excludes the White Mountains cash contribution of $605.4 as part of the Ark transaction.

The values of net tangible assets acquired and the resulting goodwill, other intangible assets and contingent consideration were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The majority of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying values, as their carrying values approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of goodwill, other intangible assets and the contingent consideration liability were internally estimated primarily based on the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that the assets are expected to generate in the future. White Mountains developed internal estimates for the expected future cash flows and discount rates used in the present value calculations.

11

The value of in-force business acquired represents the estimated profits relating to the unexpired contracts, net of related prepaid reinsurance, at the acquisition date through the expiration date of the contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized $1.4 million and $6.1 million of amortization expense on the value of in-force business acquired. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark recognized $15.1 million and $43.9 million of amortization expense on the value of in-force business acquired. The value of the syndicate underwriting capacity intangible asset was estimated using net cash flows attributable to Ark’s rights to write business in the Lloyd’s market. The value of the in-force business acquired and the syndicate underwriting capacity were estimated using a discounted cash flow method. Significant inputs to the valuation models include estimates of growth in premium revenues, investment returns, claim costs, expenses and discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital.

In evaluating the fair value of Ark’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (“LAE”), White Mountains determined that the risk-free rate of interest was approximately equal to the risk factor reflecting the uncertainty within the reserves and that no adjustment was necessary.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark recognized total contingent consideration liabilities of $30.2 million and $28.0 million. Any future adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities will be recognized through pre-tax income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized pre-tax expense of $0.1 million and $2.2 million and for the change in the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark did not recognize any pre-tax income (loss) for the change in the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities.

MediaAlpha

On October 30, 2020, MediaAlpha completed an initial public offering (the “MediaAlpha IPO”). In the offering, White Mountains sold 3.6 million shares at $19.00 per share ($17.67 per share net of underwriting fees) and received total proceeds of $63.8 million. White Mountains also received $55.0 million of net proceeds related to a dividend recapitalization at MediaAlpha.

Subsequent to the MediaAlpha IPO, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha is accounted for at fair value based on the publicly traded share price of MediaAlpha’s common stock, and White Mountains presents its investment in MediaAlpha as a separate line item on the balance sheet.

On March 23, 2021, MediaAlpha completed a secondary offering of 8.05 million shares. In the secondary offering, White Mountains sold 3.6 million shares at $46.00 per share ($44.62 per share net of underwriting fees) for net proceeds of $160.3 million.

As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains owned 16.9 million shares, representing a 27.6% basic ownership interest (25.0% fully-diluted/fully-converted basis). At this current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $5.80 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains’s book value per share. At the June 30, 2022 closing price of $9.85 per share, the fair value of White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha was $166.9 million. See Note 16 — “Equity-Method Eligible Investments.”

PassportCard/DavidShield

On January 24, 2018, White Mountains acquired a 50.0% ownership interest in DavidShield, its joint venture partner in PassportCard. DavidShield is an MGA that is the leading provider of expatriate medical insurance in Israel and uses the same card-based delivery system as PassportCard. As part of the transaction, White Mountains reorganized its equity stake in PassportCard so that White Mountains and its partner in DavidShield would each own 50.0% of both businesses. To facilitate the transaction, White Mountains provided financing to its partner in the form of a non-interest bearing loan that is secured by the partner’s equity in PassportCard and DavidShield. The gross purchase price for the 50.0% interest in DavidShield was $41.8 million, or $28.3 million net of the financing provided for the restructuring.

On May 7, 2020, White Mountains made an additional $15.0 million investment in PassportCard/DavidShield to support operations through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The transaction increased White Mountains’s ownership interest from 50.0% to 53.8%, but had no impact on the governance structure of the companies, including White Mountains’s board representation or other investor rights. The governance structures for both PassportCard and DavidShield were designed to give White Mountains and its co-investor equal power to make the decisions that most significantly impact the operations of PassportCard and DavidShield. Because White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of PassportCard or DavidShield, White Mountains does not hold a controlling financial interest in either PassportCard or DavidShield and does not consolidate either entity. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the opportunity to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of PassportCard and DavidShield. Accordingly, PassportCard and DavidShield meet the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in PassportCard and DavidShield. Changes in the fair value of PassportCard and DavidShield are recorded in realized and unrealized investment gains. White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its equity investment in PassportCard/DavidShield and the non-interest bearing loan to its partner is limited to the total carrying value of $143.0 million.

Note 3.  Investment Securities

White Mountains’s portfolio of investment securities held for general investment purposes consists of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments, common equity securities, its investment in MediaAlpha and other long-term investments, which are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value as of the balance sheet date.  Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on trading securities are reported in pre-tax revenues.

White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments are generally valued using industry standard pricing methodologies. Key inputs include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, credit ratings and prepayment speeds. Income on mortgage and asset-backed securities is recognized using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the estimated economic life is recalculated and the remaining unamortized premium or discount is amortized prospectively over the remaining economic life.

Realized investment gains (losses) resulting from sales of investment securities are accounted for using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on all fixed maturity investments are amortized or accreted to income over the anticipated life of the investment. Short-term investments consist of interest-bearing money market funds, certificates of deposit and other securities, which at the time of purchase, mature or become available for use within one year.  Short-term investments are carried at fair value, which approximated amortized cost, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other long-term investments consist primarily of unconsolidated entities, including Kudu’s Participation Contracts, private equity funds and hedge funds, a bank loan fund, Lloyd’s trust deposits, insurance-linked securities (“ILS”) funds and private debt investments.

Net Investment Income

White Mountains’s net investment income is comprised primarily of interest income associated with White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments and short-term investments, dividend income from common equity securities, distributions from its investment in MediaAlpha and distributions from other long-term investments.

The following table presents pre-tax net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (unobservable inputs). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (Level 1), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (Level 2) and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (Level 3). See Note 19 — “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains used quoted market prices or other observable inputs to determine fair value for approximately 64% and 68% of the investment portfolio.

Fair Value Measurements by Level

The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, municipalities or entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate.

Investments Held on Deposit or as Collateral

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments of $461.5 million and $479.5 million were held in trusts required to be maintained in relation to HG Global’s reinsurance agreements with BAM.

BAM and one of the Other Operating Businesses are required to maintain deposits with certain insurance regulatory agencies in order to maintain their insurance licenses. The fair value of such deposits, which represent state deposits and are included within the investment portfolio, totaled $4.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Lloyd’s trust deposits are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $113.4 million and $113.8 million

The underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit (“Funds at Lloyd’s”) in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit in an amount determined by Lloyd’s. The amount of such deposit is calculated for each member through the completion of an annual capital adequacy exercise. These requirements allow Lloyd’s to evaluate that each member has sufficient assets to meet its underwriting liabilities plus a required solvency margin. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of Ark’s Funds at Lloyd’s investment deposits totaled $304.8 million and $342.8 million.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark had $49.8 million and $50.0 million of short-term investments pledged as collateral under an uncommitted standby letter of credit. See Note 7 — “Debt.”

Investments in private equity funds are generally subject to a lock-up period during which investors may not request a redemption. Distributions prior to the expected termination date of the fund may be limited to dividends or proceeds arising from the liquidation of the fund’s underlying investments. In addition, certain private equity funds have the option to extend the lock-up period.

20

The following table presents investments in private equity funds that were subject to lock-up periods as of June 30, 2022:

Millions	1 – 3 years	3 – 5 years	5 – 10 years	>10 years	Total
Private equity funds — expected lock-up period remaining	$29.8	$21.0	$128.8	$12.1	$191.7

Investors in private equity funds are generally subject to indemnification obligations outside of the capital commitment period and prior to the winding up of the fund. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains is not aware of any indemnification claims relating to its investments in private equity funds. 

Redemption of investments in most hedge funds is subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains’s hedge fund investment is subject to a perpetual two-year restriction on redemption frequency from the initial investment in the fund and a 90 days advanced notice period requirement.

Bank Loan Fund

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include a bank loan fund with a fair value of $154.4 million as of June 30, 2022. The fair value of this investment is estimated using the NAV of the fund. The bank loan fund’s investment objective is to provide, on an unleveraged basis, high current income consistent with preservation of capital and low duration. The bank loan fund primarily invests in a broad portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, floating-rate senior secured loans and may invest in other financial instruments, such as secured and unsecured corporate debt, credit default swaps, reverse repurchase agreements, synthetic indices and cash and cash equivalents.

The investment in the bank loan fund is subject to restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains may redeem all or a portion of its bank loan fund investment as of any calendar month-end upon 15 calendar days advanced written notice.

Lloyd’s Trust Deposits

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include Lloyd’s trust deposits, which consist of non-U.K. deposits and Canadian comingled pooled funds. The Lloyd’s trust deposits invest primarily in short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds held in trusts that are managed by Lloyd's of London. These investments are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. The fair value of the Lloyd’s trust deposits is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $113.4 million.

Insurance-Linked Securities Funds

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include ILS fund investments. The fair value of these investments is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains held investments in ILS funds with a fair value of $51.6 million.

Investments in ILS funds are generally subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, non-renewal clauses, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. From time to time, natural catastrophe, liquidity, market or other events will occur that make the determination of fair value for underlying investments in ILS funds less certain due to the potential for loss development. In such circumstances, the impacted investments may be subject to additional lock-up provisions.

21

ILS funds are typically subject to monthly and annual restrictions on redemptions and advance redemption notice period requirements that range between 30 and 90 days. Amounts requested for redemption remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period.

One of the ILS funds in White Mountains’s portfolio requires shareholders to provide advance redemption notice on or before September 15 of each calendar year. Amounts requested for redemption in this fund remain subject to market fluctuation until the underlying investment has fully matured or been commuted, which may be up to a period of three years from the start of each calendar year.

Rollforward of Level 3 Investments

Level 3 measurements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 consist of securities for which the estimated fair value has not been determined based upon quoted market price inputs for identical or similar securities.

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

    White Mountains accounts for purchases of businesses using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, White Mountains recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entities at their acquisition date fair values. The estimated acquisition date fair values, generally consisting of intangible assets and liabilities for contingent consideration, may be recorded at provisional amounts in circumstances where the information necessary to complete the acquisition accounting is not available at the reporting date. Any such provisional amounts are finalized as measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date.

The following table presents the economic lives, acquisition date fair values, accumulated amortization and net carrying values for other intangible assets and goodwill, by reportable segment as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Intangible Assets Valuation Methods

The goodwill recognized for the entities shown above is attributed to expected future cash flows. The acquisition date fair values of other intangible assets with finite lives are estimated using income approach techniques, which use future expected cash flows to develop a discounted present value amount.

The multi-period-excess-earnings method estimates fair value using the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the other intangible asset over its remaining life. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of other intangible assets associated with the underwriting capacity, trade names, customer relationships and contracts and information technology.

The relief-from-royalty method was used to estimate fair value for other intangible assets that relate to rights that could be obtained via a license from a third-party owner. Under this method, the fair value is estimated using the present value of license fees avoided by owning rather than leasing the asset. This technique was used to estimate the fair value of domain names, certain trademarks and brand names.

24

The with-or-without method estimates the fair value of other intangible assets that provide an incremental benefit. Under this method, the fair value of the other intangible asset is calculated by comparing the value of the entity with and without the other intangible asset. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of favorable lease terms.

On at least an annual basis beginning no later than the interim period included in the one-year anniversary of an acquisition, White Mountains evaluates goodwill and other intangible assets for potential impairment. Between annual evaluations, White Mountains considers changes in circumstances or events subsequent to the most recent evaluation that may indicate that an impairment may exist and, if necessary will perform an interim review for potential impairment.

The following table presents a summary of the acquisition date fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets for acquisitions completed from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022:

Note 5.  Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

The following table summarizes the loss and LAE reserve activity of Ark’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Gross ending balance	$	1,022.1	$	760.0	$	1,022.1	$	760.0

(1) The beginning reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $207.3 and $331.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $276.8 and $319.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(2) Amount represents the impact to net loss and LAE reserves due to a change in the TPC Providers’ participation related to the annual reinsurance to close (“RITC”) process.

(3) The ending reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $182.4 and $314.6 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized $22.7 million and $26.4 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development. Ark’s net favorable prior year loss reserve development in 2022 was driven primarily by the property and accident & health and specialty reserving lines of business, including favorable claims experience on prior year catastrophe events in the second quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark recognized $9.0 million and $8.5 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development. Ark’s net favorable prior year loss reserve development in 2021, primarily related to property and accident & health and marine & energy reserving lines of business.

TPC Providers’ Participation

For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by TPC Providers using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. The TPC Providers’ participation in the Syndicates for the 2020 open year of account is 42.8% of the total net result of the Syndicates. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates.

26

An RITC agreement is generally put in place after the third year of operations for a year of account such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves, including future development thereon, are reinsured into the next year of account. As a result, and in combination with the changing participation provided by TPC Providers, Ark’s participation on outstanding loss and LAE reserves reinsured into the next year of account may change, perhaps significantly. During the first quarter of 2022, an RITC was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2019 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 58.3%, were reinsured into the 2020 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates is 42.8%. During the first quarter of 2021, an RITC was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2018 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 57.6%, were reinsured into the 2019 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 58.3%.

Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

HG Re and BAM do not have any outstanding loss and LAE reserves related to BAM’s municipal bond guarantee insurance business.

Note 6.  Third-Party Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, Ark may seek to limit losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events by reinsuring certain risks with third-party reinsurers. Ark remains liable for risks reinsured in the event that the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts.

The following table summarizes the effects of reinsurance on written and earned premiums and on losses and LAE for Ark for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions	2022		2021		2022		2021

Net losses and loss adjustment expenses	$	120.5	$	52.6	$	242.5	$	118.6

As of June 30, 2022, Ark had $375.5 million and $23.2 million of reinsurance recoverables on unpaid and paid losses. As of June 30, 2021, Ark had $425.3 million and $6.0 million of reinsurance recoverables on unpaid and paid losses. As reinsurance contracts do not relieve Ark of its obligation to its policyholders, Ark seeks to reduce the credit risk associated with reinsurance balances by avoiding over-reliance on specific reinsurers through the application of concentration limits and thresholds. Ark is selective with its reinsurers, placing reinsurance with only those reinsurers having a strong financial condition. Ark monitors the financial strength of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis.

As of June 30, 2022, Ark’s reinsurance recoverables of $398.7 million included $182.4 million attributable to TPC Providers, which are collateralized. As of June 30, 2021, Ark’s reinsurance recoverables of $431.3 million included $314.6 million related to TPC Providers, which are collateralized.

HG Global Senior Notes

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its $150.0 million face value floating rate secured senior notes (the “HG Global Senior Notes”). The HG Global Senior Notes, which mature in April 2032, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.3% per annum. Subsequent to the five-year anniversary of the funding date, absent the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global will make payments of principal on a quarterly basis totaling $15.0 million annually. Upon the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global is required to use all available cash flow to repay the notes. Early amortization trigger events include scenarios in which HG Re is effectively in run off. HG Global has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the HG Global Senior Notes after the five-year anniversary of the funding date at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest.

The HG Global Senior Notes require HG Global to maintain an interest reserve account of eight times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period, which is included in short-term investments. As of June 30, 2022, the interest reserve account is $22.0 million.

The HG Global Senior Notes are secured by the capital stock and other equity interests of HG Global’s subsidiaries, the interest reserve account, and all cash and non-cash proceeds from the foregoing collateral. The HG Global Senior Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

If the payments of principal and interest under the HG Global Senior Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of a relevant governmental authority for certain indemnified taxes, the HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum if the HG Global Senior Notes receive a non-investment grade rating or are no longer rated.

As of June 30, 2022, the HG Global Senior Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $150.0 million.

Ark Subordinated Notes

In March 2007, GAIL issued $30.0 million face value of floating rate unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to Alesco Preferred Funding XII Ltd., Alesco Preferred Funding XIII Ltd. and Alesco Preferred Funding XIV Ltd (the “Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes”). The Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes, which mature in June 2037, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.6% per annum. As of June 30, 2022, the Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2021, GAIL issued $163.3 million face value floating rate subordinated notes at par in three separate transactions for proceeds of $157.8 million, net of debt issuance costs. The unsecured subordinated notes (the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”) were issued in private placement offerings that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. On July 13, 2021, Ark issued €39.1 million ($46.3 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of the date of the transaction) face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1, which mature in July 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month EURIBOR plus 5.75% per annum. On August 11, 2021, Ark issued $47.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2, which mature in August 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 5.75% per annum. On September 8, 2021, Ark issued $70.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3, which mature in September 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 6.1% per annum. On the ten-year anniversary of the issue dates, the interest rate for the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes will increase by 1.0% per annum. Ark has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes ahead of contractual maturity at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest at the ten-year anniversary or any subsequent interest payment date.

All payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes are conditional upon GAIL’s solvency and compliance with the enhanced capital requirements of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”). The deferral of payments of principal and interest under these conditions does not constitute a default by Ark and does not give the noteholders any rights to accelerate repayment of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes or take any enforcement action under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes.

29

If the payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of Bermuda or any political subdivision there, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum upon the occurrence of a premium load event until such event is remedied. Premium load events include the failure to meet payment obligations of the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 when due, failure of GAIL to maintain an investment grade credit rating, failure to maintain 120% of GAIL’s Bermuda solvency capital requirement, failure of GAIL to maintain a debt to capital ratio below 40%, late filing of GAIL’s or Ark’s financial information, and making a restricted payment or distribution on GAIL’s common stock or other securities that rank junior or pari passu with the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 when a different premium load event exists or will be caused by the restricted payment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1 had an outstanding principal balance of €39.1 million ($41.5 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of June 30, 2022), the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2 had an outstanding principal balance of $47.0 million, and the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 had an outstanding principal balance of $70.0 million.

The Ark Subordinated Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Ark Standby Letter of Credit Facilities

In December 2021, Ark entered into two uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements to support the continued growth and expansion of its GAIL insurance and reinsurance operations. The standby letter of credit facility agreements were executed with ING Bank N.V., London Branch (the “ING LOC Facility”) with capacity of $50.0 million on an uncollateralized basis and with Citibank Europe Plc (the “Citibank LOC Facility”) with capacity of $100.0 million on a collateralized basis. As of June 30, 2022, the ING LOC Facility was undrawn. As of June 30, 2022, the Citibank LOC Facility had an outstanding principal balance of $36.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, $49.8 million of short-term investments were pledged as collateral under the Citibank LOC Facility. Ark’s uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements contain various representations, warranties and covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Kudu Credit Facility and Kudu Bank Facility

On December 23, 2019, Kudu entered into a secured credit facility with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (the “Kudu Bank Facility”). On March 23, 2021, Kudu replaced the Kudu Bank Facility and entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Kudu Credit Facility”) with Mass Mutual to repay the Kudu Bank Facility, and to fund new investments and related transaction expenses. The maximum borrowing capacity of the Kudu Credit Facility is $300.0 million. The Kudu Credit Facility matures on March 23, 2036. In connection with the replacement of the Kudu Bank Facility, Kudu recognized a total loss of $4.1 million, representing debt issuance costs and prepayment fees, which are included within interest expense for the year to date period ended June 30, 2021.

The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain an interest reserve account, which is included in restricted cash. As of June 30, 2022, the interest reserve account is $7.3 million. The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain a ratio of the outstanding balance to the sum of the fair market value of the participation contracts and cash held in certain accounts (the “LTV Percentage”) of less than 50% in years 0-3, 40% in years 4-6, 25% in years 7-8, 15% in years 9-10, and 0% thereafter. As of June 30, 2022, Kudu has a 34.1% LTV Percentage.

Kudu may borrow undrawn balances within the initial three-year availability period, subject to customary terms and conditions, to the extent the amount borrowed under the Kudu Credit Facility does not exceed the borrowing base, which is equal to 35% of the fair value of qualifying Kudu Participation Contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the available undrawn balance was $27.8 million.

The Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966 states that the Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035. The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world and are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate.  As of June 30, 2022, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches were subject to tax were Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States.

White Mountains’s income tax benefit related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 represented an effective tax rate of 6.9% and 7.6%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in certain U.S. operations, consisting of the WM Adams, Inc. consolidated tax group within the Other Operations segment, and BAM and state income taxes.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 18.6%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities. On June 10, 2021, the U.K. enacted an increase in its corporate tax rate from 19.0% to 25.0% for periods after April 1, 2023. On June 30, 2021, White Mountains increased its net U.K. deferred tax liability to reflect the higher tax rate on temporary differences projected to reverse after the new rate becomes effective.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 42.1%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by the additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities in relation to White Mountains’s pre-tax income in the first six months of 2021.

In arriving at the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, White Mountains forecasted all income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021.

White Mountains records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, White Mountains considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset.

With few exceptions, White Mountains is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

Note 9. Derivatives

HG Global Interest Rate Cap

On June 16, 2022, HG entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on July 25, 2022, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes. The notional amount of the interest rate cap is $150.0 million and the termination date is July 25, 2025.

HG paid initial premiums of $3.3 million for the interest rate cap. Under the terms of the interest rate cap agreement, if the current three-month SOFR rate at the measurement date exceeds 3.5%, HG will receive payments from the counterparty equal to the difference between the three-month SOFR rate on the determination date and 3.5%, multiplied by the notional amount of the cap based on the number of days in the quarter and a year equal to 360 days. As of June 30, 2022, the three-month SOFR rate was 2.1%.

HG accounts for the interest rate cap as a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains recognized a loss of $1.5 million related to the change in fair value on the interest rate cap within interest expense. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the interest rate cap recorded in other assets was $1.8 million.

Note 10. Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM, a mutual municipal bond insurer. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, provided the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of the BAM Surplus Notes.

Reinsurance Treaties

FLRT

BAM is a party to a first loss reinsurance treaty (“FLRT”) with HG Re under which HG Re provides first loss protection up to 15%-of-par outstanding on each municipal bond insured by BAM. For capital appreciation bonds, par is adjusted to the estimated equivalent par value for current interest paying bonds. In return, BAM cedes up to 60% of the risk premium charged for insuring the municipal bond, which is net of a ceding commission. The FLRT is a perpetual agreement with terms that can be renegotiated after a specified period of time. During 2021, BAM and HG Re agreed that the terms may be renegotiated at the end of 2024, and each subsequent five-year period thereafter.

Fidus Re

BAM is party to a collateralized financial guarantee excess of loss reinsurance agreement that serves to increase BAM’s claims paying resources and is provided by Fidus Re Ltd. (“Fidus Re”).

In 2018, Fidus Re was initially capitalized by the issuance of $100.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2018 Agreement”). The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. The insurance-linked securities were issued by Fidus Re with an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. Under the Fidus Re 2018 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $165.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2018 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $100.0 million. The Fidus Re 2018 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $276.1 million. The 2018 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 29% of BAM’s portfolio of financial guaranty policies issued through June 30, 2022.

In the first quarter of 2021, Fidus Re issued an additional $150.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2021 Agreement”) with an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. Under the Fidus Re 2021 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $135.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2021 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $150.0 million. The Fidus Re 2021 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $301.7 million. The 2021 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 34% of BAM’s portfolio of financial guaranty policies issued through June 30, 2022.

The Fidus Re agreements are accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as they do not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance.

XOLT

In January 2020, BAM entered into an excess of loss reinsurance agreement (the “XOLT”) with HG Re. Under the XOLT, HG Re provides last dollar protection for exposures on municipal bonds insured by BAM in excess of New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) single issuer limits. The XOLT is subject to an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of $75.0 million or the assets held in the supplemental collateral trust (the “Supplemental Trust”) at any point in time. The agreement is accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as the agreement does not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance.

33

Collateral Trusts

HG Re’s obligations under the FLRT are limited to the assets in two collateral trusts: the Supplemental Trust and a Regulation 114 Trust (together, the “Collateral Trusts”). Losses required to be reimbursed under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets held in the Collateral Trusts at any point in time.

On a monthly basis, BAM deposits cash equal to ceded premiums, net of ceding commissions, due to HG Re under the FLRT directly into the Regulation 114 Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust target balance is equal to gross ceded unearned premiums and unpaid ceded loss and LAE, if any. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is below the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Supplemental Trust and deposited into the Regulation 114 Trust in an amount equal to the shortfall. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is above 102% of the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust and deposited into the Supplemental Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $253.6 million and $250.2 million.

The Supplemental Trust target balance is $603.0 million, less the amount of cash and securities in the Regulation 114 Trust in excess of its target balance (the “Supplemental Trust Target Balance”). If, at the end of any quarter, the Supplemental Trust balance exceeds the Supplemental Trust Target Balance, such excess may be distributed to HG Re. The distribution will be made first as an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and second in cash and/or fixed income securities.

As the BAM Surplus Notes are repaid over time, the BAM Surplus Notes will be replaced in the Supplemental Trust by cash and fixed income securities. The Supplemental Trust balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $583.6 million and $601.8 million.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Collateral Trusts held assets of $837.2 million and $852.0 million, which included $463.9 million and $481.7 million of cash and investments, $364.6 million and $364.6 million of BAM Surplus Notes and $8.7 million and $5.7 million of interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes.

BAM Surplus Notes

Through 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is a variable rate equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points, set annually. During 2022, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is 3.2%. Beginning in 2025, the interest rate will be fixed at the higher of the then current variable rate or 8.0%. Under its agreements with HG Global, BAM is required to seek regulatory approval to pay interest and principal on the BAM Surplus Notes only to the extent that its remaining qualified statutory capital and other capital resources continue to support its outstanding obligations, its business plan and its “AA/stable” rating from Standard & Poor’s. No payment of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes may be made without the approval of the NYDFS.

In December 2021, BAM made a $33.8 million cash payment of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes held by HG Global. Of this payment, $23.6 million was a repayment of principal held in the Supplemental Trust, $0.4 million was a payment of accrued interest held inside the Supplemental Trust and $9.8 million was a payment of accrued interest held outside the Supplemental Trust.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, BAM made no repayments of the BAM Surplus Notes or accrued interest.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal balance on the BAM Surplus Notes was $364.6 million and $364.6 million and total interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes was $163.5 million and $157.6 million.

In January 2021, BAM entered into a 100% facultative quota share reinsurance agreement under which it assumed a portfolio of municipal bond guarantee contracts with a par value of $805.5 million.

None of the contracts assumed under these reinsurance agreements were non-performing, and no loss reserves have been established for any of the contracts, either as of the transaction date or as of June 30, 2022. The agreement, which covers future claims exposure only, meets the risk transfer criteria under ASC 944-20, Insurance Activities and accordingly has been accounted for as reinsurance.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common shares and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in dividends and earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares.

The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

Note 12. Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

White Mountains’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “WTM Incentive Plan”) provides for grants of various types of share-based and non-share-based incentive awards to key employees of White Mountains. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, White Mountains’s share-based compensation incentive awards consist of performance shares and restricted shares.

Performance Shares

Performance shares are designed to reward employees for meeting company-wide performance targets. Performance shares are conditional grants of a specified maximum number of common shares or an equivalent amount of cash. Awards generally vest at the end of a three-year service period, are subject to the attainment of pre-specified performance goals, and are valued based on the market value of common shares at the time awards are paid. Performance shares earned under the WTM Incentive Plan are typically paid in cash but may be paid in common shares. Compensation expense is recognized for the vested portion of the awards over the related service periods. The level of payout ranges from zero to two times the number of shares initially granted, depending on White Mountains’s financial performance. Performance shares become payable at the conclusion of a performance cycle (typically 3 years) if pre-defined financial targets are met. The performance measures used for determining performance share payouts are growth in White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share and intrinsic value per share. Intrinsic value per share is generally calculated by adjusting adjusted book value per share for differences between the adjusted book value of certain assets and liabilities and White Mountains’s estimate of their underlying intrinsic values.

The following table presents the performance share activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for performance shares granted under the WTM Incentive Plan:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

(1) WTM performance share payments in 2022 for the 2019-2021 performance cycle, which were paid in cash in March 2022 at 172% of target.  WTM performance share payments in 2021 for the 2018-2020 performance cycle, which were paid in cash in March 2021 at 200% of target. 

(2) Amounts include changes in assumed forfeitures, as required under GAAP.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains granted 150 and 13,225 performance shares for the 2022-2024 performance cycle. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains granted 475 and 13,475 performance shares for the 2021-2023 performance cycle.

For the 2019-2021 performance cycle, the Company issued common shares for 750 performance shares earned and all other performance shares earned were settled in cash. For the 2018-2020 performance cycle, all performance shares earned were settled in cash. If all the outstanding WTM performance shares had vested on June 30, 2022, the total additional compensation cost to be recognized would have been $44.0 million, based on accrual factors (common share price and payout assumptions) as of June 30, 2022.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains issued 150 and 13,225 restricted shares that vest on January 1, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains issued 475 and 13,475 restricted shares that vest on January 1, 2024. The unamortized issue date fair value as of June 30, 2022 is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting periods.

Note 13. Leases

White Mountains has entered into lease agreements, primarily for office space. These leases are classified as operating leases, with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives, such as free rent or landlord reimbursements for leasehold improvements, are recognized at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease expense and the amortization of leasehold improvements are recognized within general and administrative expenses. Lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term are excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities unless White Mountains is reasonably certain of exercising those options.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the right of use (“ROU”) asset was $26.2 million and $28.1 million and lease liabilities were $28.2 million and $30.0 million.

The following table summarizes net lease expense recognized in White Mountains’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 15. Segment Information

As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains conducted its operations through four segments: (1) HG Global/BAM, (2) Ark, (3) Kudu, and (4) Other Operations. As a result of the NSM Transaction, the results of operations for NSM, previously reported as a segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the chief operating decision makers and the Board of Directors. Significant intercompany transactions among White Mountains’s segments have been eliminated herein.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains received dividend and income distributions from equity method eligible investments of $15.6 million and $28.7 million, which were recorded within net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains received dividend and income distributions from equity method eligible investments of $11.0 million, and $24.7 million, which were recorded within net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Subsequent to the MediaAlpha IPO, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha is accounted for at fair value based on the publicly traded share price of MediaAlpha’s common stock, and White Mountains presents its investment in MediaAlpha as a separate line item on the balance sheet. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, MediaAlpha was considered a significant subsidiary.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

White Mountains, and the insurance industry in general, is routinely subject to claims related litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business, as well as litigation and arbitration that do not arise from, nor are directly related to, claims activity. White Mountains’s estimates of the costs of settling matters routinely encountered in claims activity are reflected in the reserves for unpaid loss and LAE. See Note 5 — “Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.”

White Mountains considers the requirements of ASC 450 when evaluating its exposure to non-claims related litigation and arbitration. ASC 450 requires that accruals be established for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and it can be reasonably estimated. ASC 450 also requires that litigation and arbitration be disclosed if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. White Mountains does not have any current non-claims related litigation that may have a material adverse effect on White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 19. Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

NSM

On August 1, 2022, White Mountains closed the previously announced NSM Transaction. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As a result of the NSM Transaction, effective as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale, and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Sirius Group

On April 18, 2016, White Mountains completed the sale of Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. (“Sirius Group”) to CM International Pte. Ltd. and CM Bermuda Limited (collectively “CMI”). In connection with the sale, White Mountains indemnified Sirius Group against the loss of certain interest deductions claimed by Sirius Group related to periods prior to the sale of Sirius Group to CMI that had been disputed by the Swedish Tax Agency. In late October 2018, the Swedish Administrative Court ruled against Sirius Group on its appeal of the Swedish Tax Agency’s denial of these interest deductions. As a result, in 2018 White Mountains recorded a loss of $17.3 million within net gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations reflecting the value of these interest deductions.

As of December 31, 2020, White Mountains’s liability related to the tax indemnification provided in connection with the sale of Sirius Group in 2016 was $18.7 million. In April 2021, the Swedish Tax Agency informed the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal that Sirius Group should prevail in its appeal and that the interest deductions should not be disallowed. In June 2021, the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal ruled in Sirius Group’s favor. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains recorded a gain of $17.6 million in discontinued operations to reverse the liability accrued as of December 31, 2020 and $1.1 million gain related to foreign currency translation.

Earnings Per Share from Discontinued Operations

White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. Diluted earnings per share amounts are also impacted by the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

(1) Includes net gain (loss) from sale of Sirius Group, net of tax, net income (loss) from NSM Group discontinued operations, net of tax and net (income) loss from discontinued operations attributable to non-controlling interests.

(2) Restricted shares issued by White Mountains receive dividends and are therefore considered participating securities.

(3) Net earnings attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders, net of restricted share amounts, is equal to undistributed earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(4) Restricted shares outstanding vest upon a stated date. See Note 12 — “Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans.”

Note 20. Subsequent Event

On August 1, 2022, White Mountains closed the previously announced sale of NSM Group. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements.” White Mountains intends statements that are not historical in nature, which are hereby identified as forward-looking statements, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. White Mountains cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. White Mountains’s actual results could be materially different from and worse than its expectations. See “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” on page 78 for specific important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements.

The following discussion also includes twelve non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted book value per share, (ii) BAM’s gross written premiums and member surplus contributions (“MSC”) from new business, (iii) Ark’s adjusted loss and LAE ratio, (iv) Ark’s adjusted insurance acquisition expense ratio, (v) Ark’s adjusted other underwriting expense ratio, (vi) Ark’s adjusted combined ratio (vii) Kudu’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), (viii) Kudu’s adjusted EBITDA, (ix) total consolidated portfolio returns excluding MediaAlpha, (x) NSM’s EBITDA, (xi) NSM’s adjusted EBITDA and (xii) adjusted capital, that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures on page 75. White Mountains believes these measures to be useful in evaluating White Mountains’s financial performance and condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021

Overview

White Mountains reported book value per share of $1,129 and adjusted book value per share of $1,152 as of June 30, 2022. Book value per share decreased 5% and adjusted book value per share decreased 4% in the second quarter of 2022. For the first six months of 2022, book value decreased 4% and adjusted book value decreased 3%, including dividends. Results were driven primarily by mark-to-market losses in White Mountains’s fixed income investment portfolio and the decline in MediaAlpha’s share price, partially offset by positive operating results within our consolidated businesses. White Mountains reported book value per share of $1,279 and adjusted book value per share of $1,292 as of June 30, 2021. Book value per share and adjusted book value per share both increased 4% in the second quarter of 2021 and 2% in the first six months of 2021, including dividends. Results in the second quarter of 2021 were driven by positive operating results within our consolidated businesses as well as the increase in MediaAlpha’s share price.

On August 1, 2022, White Mountains closed the previously announced sale of NSM Group for cash to an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, Inc. (the “NSM Transaction”). The NSM Transaction valued NSM Group at an enterprise value of $1.775 billion. Including the estimated net gain of approximately $300 per share from the NSM Transaction, book value per share would be $1,429 and adjusted book value per share would be $1,452 as of June 30, 2022. The estimated net gain per share from the NSM Transaction increased by approximately $20 to $300 per share, due primarily to: (i) positive operating results at NSM in the pre-closing period, (ii) recording of certain compensation and other costs in connection with the transaction in White Mountains’s second quarter financial statements and (iii) the impact of share repurchases decreasing the number of shares outstanding. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, NSM Group’s results have been presented as discontinued operations.

In the HG Global/BAM segment, gross written premiums and MSC collected totaled $41 million and $63 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $30 million and $56 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. Total pricing was 70 and 67 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to 59 and 65 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. BAM insured municipal bonds with par value of $5.9 billion and $9.3 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $5.1 billion and $8.7 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, which included $806 million from an assumed reinsurance transaction. BAM’s total claims paying resources were $1,228 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $1,192 million as of December 31, 2021 and $1,165 million as of June 30, 2021. On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its new $150 million, 10-year term loan credit facility. In turn, on May 2, 2022, HG Global paid a $120 million cash dividend to shareholders, of which $116 million was paid to White Mountains.

I. Summary of Operations By Segment

As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains conducted its operations through four segments: (1) HG Global/BAM, (2) Ark, (3) Kudu and (4) Other Operations. A discussion of White Mountains’s consolidated investment operations is included after the discussion of operations by segment. White Mountains’s segment information is presented in Note 15 — “Segment Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As a result of the NSM Transaction, the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations and are presented separately, net of related income taxes, in the statement of comprehensive income. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

HG Global/BAM

HG Global/BAM consists of the consolidated results of HG Global, HG Re and BAM. BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through HG Re, to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM.

The following tables present the components of pre-tax income (loss) included in White Mountains’s HG Global/BAM segment related to the consolidation of HG Global, which includes HG Re and its other wholly-owned subsidiaries, and BAM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

HG Global/BAM Results—Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

BAM is required to prepare its financial statements on a statutory accounting basis for the NYDFS and does not report stand-alone GAAP financial results. BAM charges an insurance premium on each municipal bond insurance policy it writes. A portion of the premium is MSC and the remainder is a risk premium. In the event of a municipal bond refunding, a portion of the MSC from original issuance can be reutilized, in effect serving as a credit against the total insurance premium on the refunding of the municipal bond.

Gross written premiums and MSC collected in the HG Global/BAM segment totaled $41 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $30 million in the second quarter of 2021. BAM insured $5.9 billion of municipal bonds, $4.1 billion of which were in the primary market, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $5.1 billion of municipal bonds, $4.8 billion of which were in the primary market, in the second quarter of 2021. Demand remained strong for insured bonds in the primary market, as insured penetration in the primary market was 9.1% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 9.0% in the second quarter of 2021.

Total pricing, which reflects both gross written premiums and MSC from new business, increased to 70 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 59 basis points in the second quarter of 2021. See “NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES” on page 75. The increase in total pricing was driven primarily by increased secondary market activity in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. Pricing in the primary market decreased to 49 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 51 basis points in the second quarter of 2021. Pricing in the combined secondary and assumed reinsurance markets, which is more transaction specific than pricing in the primary market, decreased to 121 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 175 basis points in the second quarter of 2021.

HG Global reported pre-tax income (loss) of $(8) million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $11 million in the second quarter of 2021. The change in pre-tax income (loss) was driven primarily by net unrealized investment losses on the HG Global fixed income portfolio, as interest rates increased in the second quarter of 2022. Results in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 both included $3.0 million of interest income on the BAM Surplus Notes.

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its new $150 million, 10-year term loan credit facility. In turn, on May 2, 2022, HG Global paid a $120 million cash dividend to shareholders, of which $116 million was paid to White Mountains.

BAM is a mutual insurance company that is owned by its members. BAM’s results are consolidated into White Mountains’s GAAP financial statements and attributed to non-controlling interests. White Mountains reported $31 million of GAAP pre-tax loss from BAM in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The change in pre-tax loss was driven primarily by net unrealized investment losses on the BAM fixed income portfolio, as interest rates increased in the second quarter of 2022. Results in the second quarter of 2022 include $3 million of interest expense on the BAM Surplus Notes and $16 million of general and administrative expenses, compared to $3 million of interest expense and $13 million of general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2021.

All BAM-insured bond payments due through August 1, 2022 have been made by insureds, and there are no credits on BAM’s watchlist.

HG Global/BAM Results—Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Gross written premiums and MSC collected in the HG Global/BAM segment totaled $63 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $56 million in the first six months of 2021. BAM insured $9.3 billion of municipal bonds, $6.9 billion of which were in the primary market, in the first six months of 2022, compared to $8.7 billion of municipal bonds, $7.4 billion of which were in the primary market, in the first six months of 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, BAM completed an assumed reinsurance transaction to reinsure municipal bonds with a par value of $806 million.

Total pricing, which reflects both gross written premiums and MSC from new business, increased to 67 basis points in the first six months of 2022, compared to 65 basis points in the first six months of 2021. See “NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES” on page 75. The increase in total pricing was driven primarily by increased secondary market activity in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. Pricing in the primary market decreased to 47 basis points in the first six months of 2022, compared to 54 basis points in the first six months of 2021. Pricing in the secondary and assumed reinsurance markets, which is more transaction specific than pricing in the primary market, decreased to 124 basis points in the first six months of 2022, compared to 131 basis points in the first six months of 2021.

Claims Paying Resources

BAM’s claims paying resources represent the capital and other financial resources BAM has available to pay claims and, as such, is a key indication of BAM’s financial strength.

BAM’s claims paying resources were $1,228 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $1,192 million as of December 31, 2021 and $1,165 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase in claims paying resources as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 was driven primarily by increases in the statutory value of the collateral trusts resulting from deposits of ceded premiums and an increase in BAM’s qualified statutory capital resulting from business operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table presents BAM’s total claims paying resources as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021:

The GAAP combined ratio for the second quarter of 2022 included four points of natural catastrophe losses driven primarily by South African and Australian flood losses and seven points related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine within the specialty, aviation, and marine & energy lines of business. This compared to six points of natural catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2021. The GAAP combined ratio for the second quarter of 2022 included 10 points of favorable prior year development, driven primarily by the property and accident & health and specialty reserving lines of business, including favorable claims experience on prior year catastrophe events. This compared to eight points of favorable prior year development in the second quarter of 2021, primarily related to the property, energy and accident & health lines of business.

59

Ark’s adjusted combined ratio, which adds back amounts attributable to TPC Providers, was 86% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 84% in the second quarter of 2021. The adjusted combined ratio for the second quarter of 2022 included four points of natural catastrophe losses compared to six points of natural catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2021. The adjusted combined ratio for the second quarter of 2022 also included seven points related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The adjusted combined ratio for the second quarter of 2022 included 12 points of favorable prior year development compared to 10 points of favorable prior year development in the second quarter of 2021.

Gross written premiums increased 42% to $1,037 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to the first six months of 2021, with risk adjusted rate change up approximately 9%.

Catastrophe Risk Management

Ark has exposure to losses caused by unpredictable catastrophic events including natural and other disasters such as hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis, and severe winter weather all over the world. Catastrophes can also include large losses driven by public health crises, terrorist attacks, explosions, infrastructure failures, cyber-attacks and armed conflicts. The extent of a catastrophe loss is a function of both the severity of the event and total amount of insured exposure to the event, as well as the coverage provided to customers.

Ark seeks to manage its exposure to catastrophic losses by limiting and monitoring the aggregate insured value of policies in geographic areas with exposure to catastrophic events and by buying reinsurance. To manage, monitor and analyze insured values and potential losses, Ark utilizes proprietary and third-party catastrophe management software to estimate potential losses for many different catastrophe scenarios.

Ark estimates that its two largest modeled probable maximum loss natural catastrophe scenarios on a per occurrence basis at a 1-in-250-year return period are U.S. windstorms and U.S. earthquakes. The July 2022 net after-tax estimated impact of a 1-in-250-year return period loss is 31% and 23% of total tangible capital (shareholders equity and subordinated debt) for U.S. windstorms and U.S. earthquakes, respectively. In each case, the net impact is after income taxes, reinstatement premiums, amounts ceded to third-party reinsurers, and amounts attributable to TPC Providers. As underlying tangible capital grows with expected earnings for the remainder of the year, Ark expects the net after-tax peak exposures to be roughly 25-30% of total tangible capital.

In addition, Ark also has loss exposures to other global events including, but not limited to, Japanese earthquakes, Japanese windstorms, European windstorms, Southeast U.S. windstorms, and U.S. wildfires. Outside of natural catastrophe losses, Ark has exposure to non-natural or man-made large losses. The current largest exposures are cyber, offshore energy production platforms, terrorism events and political risk.

Kudu Results—Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Kudu reported total revenues of $(4) million, pre-tax loss of $10 million and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to total revenues of $36 million, pre-tax income of $31 million and adjusted EBITDA of $5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Total revenues and pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2022 included $18 million of net unrealized losses on Kudu’s Participation Contracts compared to $28 million of net unrealized gains in the second quarter of 2021. Net unrealized losses on Kudu’s Participation Contracts in the second quarter of 2022 were driven primarily by declines in assets under management at several managers with significant public equity exposure, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of one Participation Contract resulting from a pending sale transaction. However, Kudu’s Participation Contracts performed well relative to market benchmarks in a volatile quarter. Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 also included $14 million of net investment income compared to $8 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net investment income was driven primarily by amounts earned from the $266 million in new deployments, including $2.2 million of transaction costs, that Kudu made in 2022 and 2021.

Kudu Results—Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Total revenues and pre-tax income in the first six months of 2022 included $5 million of net unrealized gains on Kudu’s Participation Contracts compared to $44 million in the first six months of 2021. Net unrealized gains on Kudu’s Participation Contracts in the first six months of 2022 were driven primarily by an increase in the fair value of one Participation Contract resulting from a pending sale transaction, partially offset by declines in assets under management at several managers with significant public equity exposure. Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2022 also included $26 million of net investment income compared to $17 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in net investment income was driven primarily by amounts earned from $277 million in new deployments, including $2.2 million of transaction costs, that Kudu made in 2022 and 2021.

III. Income Taxes

The Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966 states that the Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035. The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world and are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate.  As of June 30, 2022, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches were subject to tax were Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States.

White Mountains’s income tax benefit related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 represented an effective tax rate of 7% and 8%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in certain U.S. operations, consisting of the WM Adams, Inc. consolidated tax group within the Other Operations segment, and BAM and state income taxes.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 19%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities. On June 10, 2021, the U.K. enacted an increase in its corporate tax rate from 19% to 25% for periods after April 1, 2023. On June 30, 2021, White Mountains increased its net U.K. deferred tax liability to reflect the higher tax rate on temporary differences projected to reverse after the new rate becomes effective.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 42%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, driven primarily by the additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities in relation to White Mountains’s pre-tax income in the first six months of 2021.

NSM Results—Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

NSM reported commission and other revenues of $103 million, pre-tax income of $13 million and adjusted EBITDA of $29 million in the second quarter of 2022. NSM reported commission and other revenues of $84 million, pre-tax income of $1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $19 million in the second quarter of 2021. Results for the second quarter of 2022 include the results of J.C. Taylor, an MGA offering classic and antique collector car insurance, which was acquired on August 6, 2021. In addition to the acquisition of J.C. Taylor, commission and other revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA benefited from growth in the pet, real estate and specialty transportation verticals. NSM’s general and administrative expenses were $57 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $47 million in the second quarter of 2021, driven primarily by the acquisition of J.C. Taylor and increases in personnel costs.

NSM Results—Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

NSM reported commission and other revenues of $191 million, pre-tax income of $16 million and adjusted EBITDA of $47 million in the first six months of 2022. NSM reported commission and other revenues of $159 million, pre-tax loss of $32 million and adjusted EBITDA of $33 million in the first six months of 2021. Results for the first six months of 2022 include the results of J.C. Taylor, an MGA offering classic and antique collector car insurance, which was acquired on August 6, 2021. In addition to the acquisition of J.C. Taylor, commission and other revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA benefited from growth in the pet, specialty transportation and real estate verticals. NSM’s general and administrative expenses were $111 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $93 million in the first six months of 2021, driven primarily by the acquisition of J.C. Taylor and increases in personnel costs. NSM’s pre-tax loss in the first six months of 2021 included a loss of $29 million related to the sale of its Fresh Insurance motor business, which was sold on April 12, 2021.

Sirius Group

In the first quarter of 2021, White Mountains recorded an $18 million gain within discontinued operations as a result of reversing a liability arising from the tax indemnification provided in connection with the sale of Sirius Group in 2016 and a $1 million gain related to foreign currency translation. The liability related to certain interest deductions claimed by Sirius Group that had been disputed by the Swedish Tax Agency. In April 2021, the Swedish Tax Agency informed the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal that Sirius Group should prevail in its appeal (and that the interest deductions should not be disallowed). In June 2021, the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal ruled in Sirius Group’s favor. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” on page 45.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Cash and Short-term Investments

Holding Company Level 

The primary sources of cash for the Company and certain of its intermediate holding companies are expected to be distributions from its insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiaries, net investment income, proceeds from sales, repayments and maturities of investments, capital raising activities and, from time to time, proceeds from sales of operating subsidiaries. The primary uses of cash are expected to be general and administrative expenses, purchases of investments, payments to tax authorities, payments on and repurchases/retirements of debt obligations, dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common shares, distributions to non-controlling interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries, contributions to operating subsidiaries and, from time to time, purchases of operating subsidiaries and repurchases of the Company’s common shares.

Operating Subsidiary Level 

The primary sources of cash for White Mountains’s insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiaries are expected to be premium and fee collections, commissions, net investment income, proceeds from sales, repayments and maturities of investments, contributions from holding companies and capital raising activities. The primary uses of cash are expected to be claim payments, policy acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, broker commission expenses, cost of sales, purchases of investments, payments to tax authorities, payments on and repurchases/retirements of debt obligations, distributions made to holding companies, distributions to non-controlling interest holders and, from time to time, purchases of operating subsidiaries.

70

Both internal and external forces influence White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Premium and fee collections, investment returns, claims payments and cost of sales may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. Some time may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to White Mountains’s insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries and the settlement of the liability for that loss. The exact timing of the payment of losses cannot be predicted with certainty. White Mountains’s insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries maintain portfolios of invested assets with varying maturities and a substantial amount of cash and short-term investments to provide adequate liquidity for the payment of claims.

Management believes that White Mountains’s cash balances, cash flows from operations and routine sales and maturities of investments are adequate to meet expected cash requirements for the foreseeable future on both a holding company and insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiary level.

Dividend Capacity

Following is a description of the dividend capacity of White Mountains’s insurance and reinsurance and other operating subsidiaries:

HG Global/BAM

As of June 30, 2022, HG Global had $619 million face value of preferred shares outstanding, of which White Mountains owned 96.9%. Holders of the HG Global preferred shares receive cumulative dividends at a fixed annual rate of 6.0% on a quarterly basis, when and if declared by HG Global. As of June 30, 2022, HG Global has accrued $325 million of dividends payable to holders of its preferred shares, $313 million of which is payable to White Mountains and is eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2022, HG Global and its subsidiaries had $32 million of cash outside of HG Re.

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its new $150 million, 10-year term loan credit facility. In turn, on May 2, 2022, HG Global paid a $120 million cash dividend to shareholders, of which $116 million was paid to White Mountains.

HG Re is a Special Purpose Insurer subject to regulation and supervision by the BMA, but it does not require regulatory approval to pay dividends. However, HG Re’s dividend capacity is limited to amounts held outside of the Collateral Trusts pursuant to the FLRT with BAM. As of June 30, 2022, HG Re had $2 million of cash and investments and $120 million of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes held outside the Collateral Trusts. As of June 30, 2022, HG Re had $732 million of statutory capital and surplus and $837 million of assets held in the Collateral Trusts pursuant to the FLRT with BAM.

On a monthly basis, BAM deposits cash equal to ceded premiums, net of ceding commissions, due to HG Re under the FLRT directly into the Regulation 114 Trust.  The Regulation 114 Trust target balance is equal to gross ceded unearned premiums and unpaid ceded loss and LAE expenses, if any.  If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is below the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Supplemental Trust and deposited into the Regulation 114 Trust in an amount equal to the shortfall.  If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is above 102% of the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust and deposited into the Supplemental Trust. 

71

The Supplemental Trust Target Balance is $603 million, less the amount of cash and securities in the Regulation 114 Trust in excess of its target balance.  If, at the end of any quarter, the Supplemental Trust balance exceeds the Supplemental Trust Target Balance, such excess may be distributed to HG Re.  The distribution will be made first as an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and second in cash and/or fixed income securities.  As the BAM Surplus Notes are repaid over time, the BAM Surplus Notes will be replaced in the Supplemental Trust by cash and fixed income securities.

As of June 30, 2022, the Collateral Trusts held assets of $837 million, which included $464 million of cash and investments, $365 million of BAM Surplus Notes and $8 million of interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes.

Through 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is a variable rate equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points, set annually. During 2022, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is 3.2%. Beginning in 2025, the interest rate will be fixed at the higher of the then current variable rate or 8.0%. Under its agreements with HG Global, BAM is required to seek regulatory approval to pay interest and principal on the BAM Surplus Notes only to the extent that its remaining qualified statutory capital and other capital resources continue to support its outstanding obligations, its business plan and its “AA/stable” rating from Standard & Poor’s. No payment of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes may be made without the approval of the NYDFS.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, BAM made no repayments of the BAM Surplus Notes or accrued interest. See Note 10 — “Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance.”

Ark

During any 12-month period, GAIL, a class 4 licensed Bermuda insurer, has the ability to (i) make capital distributions based on 15% of its total statutory capital per the previous year’s statutory financial statements, or (ii) make dividend payments based on 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus per the previous year’s statutory financial statements, without prior approval of Bermuda regulatory authorities. Accordingly, White Mountains expects GAIL will have the ability to make capital distributions of $114 million during 2022, which is equal to 15% of its December 31, 2021 statutory capital of $758 million, subject to meeting all appropriate liquidity and solvency requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, GAIL did not pay a dividend to its immediate parent.

As of June 30, 2022, Ark and its intermediate holding companies had $25 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments outside of its regulated and unregulated insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark paid a $5 million dividend to shareholders, $4 million of which was paid to White Mountains.

Kudu

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Kudu distributed $13 million to unitholders, substantially all of which was paid to White Mountains. As of June 30, 2022, Kudu had $117 million of net unrestricted cash.

Other Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains paid a $3 million common share dividend. As of June 30, 2022, the Company and its intermediate holding companies had $349 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments, $167 million of MediaAlpha common stock and $224 million of private equity funds and ILS funds.

Discontinued Operations

NSM

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, NSM distributed $4 million to unitholders, substantially all of which was paid to White Mountains. As of June 30, 2022, NSM had $34 million of net unrestricted cash.

Financing

The following table presents White Mountains’s capital structure as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

$ in Millions	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
HG Global Senior Notes (1)	$	146.3		$	—

(2) Net of unamortized issuance costs.

(3) The NSM bank facility with Ares Capital Corporation and the other NSM debt was settled in conjunction with the closing of the NSM Transaction and has been classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4) Amount reflects White Mountains’s preferred share ownership in HG Global of 96.9%.

Management believes that White Mountains has the flexibility and capacity to obtain funds externally through debt or equity financing on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, White Mountains can provide no assurance that, if needed, it would be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.

It is possible that, in the future, one or more of the rating agencies may lower White Mountains’s existing ratings. If one or more of its ratings were lowered, White Mountains could incur higher borrowing costs on future borrowings and its ability to access the capital markets could be impacted.

Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains was in compliance in all material respects with all of the covenants under its debt instruments.

Share Repurchases

White Mountains’s board of directors has authorized the Company to repurchase its common shares from time to time, subject to market conditions. The repurchase authorizations do not have a stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains may repurchase an additional 364,700 shares under these board authorizations. In addition, from time to time White Mountains has also repurchased its common shares through tender offers that were separately approved by its board of directors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains repurchased and retired 90,535 of its common shares for $102 million at an average share price of $1,122, which was approximately 97% of White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share as of June 30, 2022. The average share price was approximately 77% of White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share as of June 30, 2022 including the estimated net gain from the NSM Transaction. Of the shares White Mountains repurchased in the first six months of 2022, 4,011 were to satisfy employee income tax withholding pursuant to employee benefit plans, which do not reduce the board authorizations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains repurchased and retired 7,161 of its common shares for $7 million, at an average share price of $1,039, which was approximately 80% of White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share as of June 30, 2021. All of the shares White Mountains repurchased in the first six months of 2021 were to satisfy employee income tax withholding pursuant to employee benefit plans.

Cash Flows

Detailed information concerning White Mountains’s cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 follows:

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

Net cash provided from (used for) operations was $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $(29) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided from operations was driven primarily by cash provided from Ark’s operations in 2022 compared to cash used for Ark’s operations in 2021, which included expenses from the Ark Transaction. This increase in cash provided from operations was partially offset by the increase in investments in Kudu Participation Contracts in 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company and its intermediate holding companies had $349 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments, $167 million of MediaAlpha common stock and $224 million of private equity funds and ILS funds.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report includes twelve non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted book value per share

Adjusted book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is derived by adjusting (i) the GAAP book value per share numerator and (ii) the common shares outstanding denominator, as described below.

The GAAP book value per share numerator is adjusted (i) to include a discount for the time value of money arising from the modeled timing of cash payments of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and (ii) to add back the unearned premium reserve, net of deferred acquisition costs, at HG Global.

Under GAAP, White Mountains is required to carry the BAM Surplus Notes, including accrued interest, at nominal value with no consideration for time value of money. Based on a debt service model that forecasts operating results for BAM through maturity of the BAM Surplus Notes, the present value of the BAM Surplus Notes, including accrued interest and using an 8% discount rate, was estimated to be $120 million, $125 million, $130 million and $137 million less than the nominal GAAP carrying values as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

The value of HG Global’s unearned premium reserve, net of deferred acquisition costs, was $164 million, $160 million, $159 million and $150 million as of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

White Mountains believes these adjustments are useful to management and investors in analyzing the intrinsic value of HG Global, including the value of the BAM Surplus Notes and the value of the in-force business at HG Re, HG Global’s reinsurance subsidiary.

The denominator used in the calculation of adjusted book value per share equals the number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to exclude unearned restricted common shares, the compensation cost of which, at the date of calculation, has yet to be amortized. Restricted common shares are earned on a straight-line basis over their vesting periods. The reconciliation of GAAP book value per share to adjusted book value per share is included on page 50.

BAM’s gross written premiums and MSC from new business

BAM’s gross written premiums and MSC from new business is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is derived by adjusting gross written premiums and MSC collected (i) to include the present value of future installment MSC not yet collected and (ii) to exclude the impact of gross written premium adjustments related to policies closed in prior periods. White Mountains believes these adjustments are useful to management and investors in evaluating the volume and pricing of new business closed during the period. The reconciliation from GAAP gross written premiums to gross written premiums and MSC from new business is included on page 55.

Ark’s adjusted loss and LAE, adjusted insurance acquisition expense, adjusted other underwriting expense and adjusted combined ratios

Ark’s adjusted loss and LAE ratio, adjusted insurance acquisition expense ratio, adjusted other underwriting expense ratio and adjusted combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures, which are derived by adjusting the GAAP ratios to add back the impact of whole-account quota-share reinsurance arrangements attributable to TPC Providers for the Syndicates. The impact of these reinsurance arrangements relates to years of account prior to the Ark Transaction. White Mountains believes these adjustments are useful to management and investors in evaluating Ark’s results on a fully aligned basis (i.e., 100% of the Syndicates’ results). The reconciliation from the GAAP ratios to the adjusted ratios is included on page 59.

75

Kudu’s EBITDA and Kudu’s adjusted EBITDA

Kudu's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets from GAAP net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those excluded from EBITDA. The adjustments relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu's Participation Contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses. A description of each adjustment follows:

•Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) - Represents net unrealized investment gains and losses on Kudu’s Participation Contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses on Kudu’s Participation Contracts sold during the period.

•Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Kudu’s management compensation that are settled with equity units in Kudu.

•Transaction expenses - Represents costs directly related to Kudu’s mergers and acquisitions activity, such as external lawyer, banker, consulting and placement agent fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu’s performance. The reconciliation of Kudu’s GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is included on page 64.

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha is a non-GAAP financial measure that removes the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes this measure to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains’s investment portfolio without regard to MediaAlpha. The following tables present reconciliations from GAAP to the reported percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2022						Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
	GAAP Return		Remove MediaAlpha		Return - Excluding MediaAlpha		GAAP Return		Remove MediaAlpha		Return - Excluding MediaAlpha
Total consolidated portfolio    return	(4.7)	%	2.6	%	(2.1)	%	5.0	%	(2.6)	%	2.4	%

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2022						Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
	GAAP Return		Remove MediaAlpha		Return - Excluding MediaAlpha		GAAP Return		Remove MediaAlpha		Return - Excluding MediaAlpha
Total consolidated portfolio    return	(4.0)	%	2.1	%	(1.9)	%	4.7	%	(1.6)	%	3.1	%

NSM’s EBITDA and NSM’s adjusted EBITDA

NSM’s EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets from GAAP net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those excluded from EBITDA. The adjustments relate to (i) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (iii) impairments of intangible assets, (iv) loss on assets held for sale, (v) transaction expenses, (vi) investments made in the development of new business lines, (vii) restructuring expenses and (viii) legal settlements. A description of each follows:

•Change in fair value of contingent consideration - Contingent consideration consists of amounts payable to the sellers of businesses purchased by NSM that are contingent on the earnings of such businesses in periods subsequent to their acquisition. Under GAAP, contingent consideration amounts are initially recorded as liabilities at fair value as part of purchase accounting, with the periodic change in the fair value of these liabilities recorded as income or an expense.

•Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to NSM’s management compensation emanating from the grants of equity units.

76

•Impairments of intangible assets - Represents expense related to NSM’s write-off of intangible assets. For the periods presented, the impairments related primarily to NSM’s write-off of intangible assets in its U.K. vertical. The impairments related to lower premium volumes, including due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain reorganization initiatives in the U.K. vertical.

• Loss on assets held for sale - Represents the loss on net assets held for sale related to the Fresh Insurance motor business.

•Transaction expenses - Represents costs directly related to NSM’s mergers and acquisitions activity, such as transaction-related compensation, banking, accounting and external lawyer fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

•Investments made in the development of new business lines - Represents the net loss related to the start-up of newly established lines of business, which NSM views as investments.

•Restructuring expenses - Represents expenses associated with eliminating redundant work force and facilities that often arise as a result of NSM’s post-acquisition integration strategies. For the periods presented, this adjustment relates primarily to NSM’s expenses incurred in certain reorganization initiatives in the U.K. vertical.

•Legal settlements - Represents amounts recognized from legal settlements.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating NSM’s performance. See page 69 for the reconciliation of NSM’s GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted capital

Total capital at White Mountains is comprised of White Mountains’s common shareholders’ equity, debt and non-controlling interests other than non-controlling interests attributable to BAM. Total adjusted capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is derived by adjusting total capital (i) to include a discount for the time value of money arising from the expected timing of cash payments of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and (ii) to add back the unearned premium reserve, net of deferred acquisition costs, at HG Global. The reconciliation of total capital to total adjusted capital is included on page 73.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of White Mountains. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reportable Segments

White Mountains has determined its reportable segments based on the nature of the underlying businesses, the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized and managed and the organization of the financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains’s reportable segments were HG Global/BAM, Ark, Kudu and Other Operations.

The HG Global/BAM segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“HG Global”) and the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) (collectively, “HG Global/BAM”). BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.9% of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4% of its common equity. White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity for which White Mountains is the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results are all attributed to non-controlling interests.

The Ark segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, marine & energy, specialty, accident & health and casualty. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 (the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0% after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing. For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by third-party insurance and reinsurance groups (“TPC Providers”) using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. Captions within results of operations and other comprehensive income are shown net of amounts relating to the TPC Providers share of the Syndicates’ results, including investment results.

The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic assistance to investees from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions typically are structured as minority preferred equity stakes with distribution rights, generally tied to gross revenues and designed to generate strong, stable cash yields. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 89.3% and 99.3% of the basic units outstanding (76.1% and 84.7% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

The Other Operations segment consists of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), PassportCard Limited (“PassportCard”) and DavidShield Life Insurance Agency (2000) Ltd. (“DavidShield”) (collectively, “PassportCard/DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), and certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets.

Discontinued Operations

On May 9, 2022, White Mountains Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (“WTM Holdings Seller”) and White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc. (“NSM Holdings”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “NSM SPA”) together with NSM Insurance HoldCo, LLC (“NSM” and, collectively with NSM Holdings, the “NSM Group”) to sell NSM Holdings for cash (the “NSM Transaction”) to investment funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group Inc. (“Carlyle”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” NSM is a full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) and program administrator with delegated binding authorities for specialty property and casualty insurance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.5% of the basic units outstanding of NSM (87.3% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

As a result of the NSM Transaction, effective as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

Significant Transactions

Significant Transactions

NSM

On May 9, 2022, WTM Holdings Seller entered into the NSM SPA to sell 100% of White Mountains’s equity interest in NSM Group to investment funds affiliated with Carlyle. The NSM Transaction closed on August 1, 2022. White Mountains received $1.4 billion in net cash proceeds at closing and recognized a net transaction gain of approximately $870.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The amount received at closing was based on estimates of cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. The proceeds may be adjusted upon determination of the final closing amounts.

Kudu

On May 26, 2022, Kudu raised $114.5 million of equity capital (the “Kudu Transaction”) from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Mass Mutual”), White Mountains and Kudu management. Mass Mutual, White Mountains and Kudu management contributed $64.1 million, $50.0 million and $0.4 million and in each case, at a pre-money valuation of 1.3x, or $114.0 million above the December 31, 2021 equity value of Kudu’s go-forward portfolio of participation contracts. As of June 30, 2022, Kudu’s go-forward portfolio of participation contracts excludes $39.1 million of enterprise value relating to two portfolio companies that had announced sale transactions prior to the capital raise. As a result of the Kudu Transaction, White Mountains’s basic ownership of Kudu decreased from 99.1% to 89.3%.

Ark

On October 1, 2020, White Mountains entered into a subscription and purchase agreement (the “Ark SPA”) with Ark and certain selling shareholders (collectively with Ark, the “Ark Sellers”). Under the terms of the Ark SPA, White Mountains agreed to contribute $605.4 million of equity capital to Ark, at a pre-money valuation of $300.0 million, and to purchase $40.9 million of shares from the Ark Sellers. White Mountains also agreed to contribute up to an additional $200.0 million of equity capital to Ark in 2021. In accordance with the Ark SPA, in the fourth quarter of 2020, White Mountains pre-funded/placed in escrow a total of $646.3 million in preparation for closing the Ark Transaction, including $280.0 million funded directly to Lloyd’s on behalf of Ark under the terms of a credit facility agreement and $366.3 million placed in escrow.

On January 1, 2021, White Mountains completed the Ark Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Ark SPA. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0%) after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing.

White Mountains recognized total assets acquired related to the Ark Transaction of $2.5 billion, including goodwill and other intangible assets of $292.5 million, and total liabilities of $1.7 billion, including contingent consideration of $22.5 million and non-controlling interest of $220.2 million. Ark incurred transaction costs of $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.     

In the third quarter of 2021, Ark issued $163.3 million of floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”) in three separate transactions. See Note 7 — “Debt.” In connection with the issuance of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes, White Mountains and Ark terminated White Mountains’s commitment to provide up to $200.0 million of additional equity capital to Ark in 2021.

The following presents additional details of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the January 1, 2021 acquisition date:

Millions	As of January 1, 2021
Investments	$	594.3
Cash	52.0		(1)
Reinsurance recoverables	433.4
Insurance premiums receivable	236.7
Ceded unearned premiums	170.2
Value of in-force business acquired	71.7
Other assets	88.9
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves	(696.0)
Unearned insurance premiums	(326.1)
Debt	(46.4)
Ceded reinsurance payable	(528.3)
Other liabilities	(25.9)
Net tangible assets acquired	24.5
Goodwill	116.8
Other intangible assets - syndicate underwriting capacity	175.7
Deferred tax liability on other intangible assets	(33.4)
Net assets acquired	$	283.6

(1) Cash excludes the White Mountains cash contribution of $605.4 as part of the Ark transaction.

The values of net tangible assets acquired and the resulting goodwill, other intangible assets and contingent consideration were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The majority of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying values, as their carrying values approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of goodwill, other intangible assets and the contingent consideration liability were internally estimated primarily based on the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that the assets are expected to generate in the future. White Mountains developed internal estimates for the expected future cash flows and discount rates used in the present value calculations.

The value of in-force business acquired represents the estimated profits relating to the unexpired contracts, net of related prepaid reinsurance, at the acquisition date through the expiration date of the contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized $1.4 million and $6.1 million of amortization expense on the value of in-force business acquired. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark recognized $15.1 million and $43.9 million of amortization expense on the value of in-force business acquired. The value of the syndicate underwriting capacity intangible asset was estimated using net cash flows attributable to Ark’s rights to write business in the Lloyd’s market. The value of the in-force business acquired and the syndicate underwriting capacity were estimated using a discounted cash flow method. Significant inputs to the valuation models include estimates of growth in premium revenues, investment returns, claim costs, expenses and discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital.

In evaluating the fair value of Ark’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves (“LAE”), White Mountains determined that the risk-free rate of interest was approximately equal to the risk factor reflecting the uncertainty within the reserves and that no adjustment was necessary.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark recognized total contingent consideration liabilities of $30.2 million and $28.0 million. Any future adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities will be recognized through pre-tax income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized pre-tax expense of $0.1 million and $2.2 million and for the change in the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark did not recognize any pre-tax income (loss) for the change in the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities.

MediaAlpha

On October 30, 2020, MediaAlpha completed an initial public offering (the “MediaAlpha IPO”). In the offering, White Mountains sold 3.6 million shares at $19.00 per share ($17.67 per share net of underwriting fees) and received total proceeds of $63.8 million. White Mountains also received $55.0 million of net proceeds related to a dividend recapitalization at MediaAlpha.

Subsequent to the MediaAlpha IPO, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha is accounted for at fair value based on the publicly traded share price of MediaAlpha’s common stock, and White Mountains presents its investment in MediaAlpha as a separate line item on the balance sheet.

On March 23, 2021, MediaAlpha completed a secondary offering of 8.05 million shares. In the secondary offering, White Mountains sold 3.6 million shares at $46.00 per share ($44.62 per share net of underwriting fees) for net proceeds of $160.3 million.

As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains owned 16.9 million shares, representing a 27.6% basic ownership interest (25.0% fully-diluted/fully-converted basis). At this current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $5.80 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains’s book value per share. At the June 30, 2022 closing price of $9.85 per share, the fair value of White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha was $166.9 million. See Note 16 — “Equity-Method Eligible Investments.”

PassportCard/DavidShield

On January 24, 2018, White Mountains acquired a 50.0% ownership interest in DavidShield, its joint venture partner in PassportCard. DavidShield is an MGA that is the leading provider of expatriate medical insurance in Israel and uses the same card-based delivery system as PassportCard. As part of the transaction, White Mountains reorganized its equity stake in PassportCard so that White Mountains and its partner in DavidShield would each own 50.0% of both businesses. To facilitate the transaction, White Mountains provided financing to its partner in the form of a non-interest bearing loan that is secured by the partner’s equity in PassportCard and DavidShield. The gross purchase price for the 50.0% interest in DavidShield was $41.8 million, or $28.3 million net of the financing provided for the restructuring.

On May 7, 2020, White Mountains made an additional $15.0 million investment in PassportCard/DavidShield to support operations through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The transaction increased White Mountains’s ownership interest from 50.0% to 53.8%, but had no impact on the governance structure of the companies, including White Mountains’s board representation or other investor rights. The governance structures for both PassportCard and DavidShield were designed to give White Mountains and its co-investor equal power to make the decisions that most significantly impact the operations of PassportCard and DavidShield. Because White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of PassportCard or DavidShield, White Mountains does not hold a controlling financial interest in either PassportCard or DavidShield and does not consolidate either entity. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the opportunity to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of PassportCard and DavidShield. Accordingly, PassportCard and DavidShield meet the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in PassportCard and DavidShield. Changes in the fair value of PassportCard and DavidShield are recorded in realized and unrealized investment gains. White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its equity investment in PassportCard/DavidShield and the non-interest bearing loan to its partner is limited to the total carrying value of $143.0 million.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Investment Securities

Investment Securities

White Mountains’s portfolio of investment securities held for general investment purposes consists of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments, common equity securities, its investment in MediaAlpha and other long-term investments, which are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value as of the balance sheet date.  Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on trading securities are reported in pre-tax revenues.

White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments are generally valued using industry standard pricing methodologies. Key inputs include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, credit ratings and prepayment speeds. Income on mortgage and asset-backed securities is recognized using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the estimated economic life is recalculated and the remaining unamortized premium or discount is amortized prospectively over the remaining economic life.

Realized investment gains (losses) resulting from sales of investment securities are accounted for using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on all fixed maturity investments are amortized or accreted to income over the anticipated life of the investment. Short-term investments consist of interest-bearing money market funds, certificates of deposit and other securities, which at the time of purchase, mature or become available for use within one year.  Short-term investments are carried at fair value, which approximated amortized cost, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other long-term investments consist primarily of unconsolidated entities, including Kudu’s Participation Contracts, private equity funds and hedge funds, a bank loan fund, Lloyd’s trust deposits, insurance-linked securities (“ILS”) funds and private debt investments.

Net Investment Income

White Mountains’s net investment income is comprised primarily of interest income associated with White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments and short-term investments, dividend income from common equity securities, distributions from its investment in MediaAlpha and distributions from other long-term investments.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (unobservable inputs). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (Level 1), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (Level 2) and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (Level 3). See Note 19 — “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains used quoted market prices or other observable inputs to determine fair value for approximately 64% and 68% of the investment portfolio.

Fair Value Measurements by Level

The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, municipalities or entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate.

Investments Held on Deposit or as Collateral

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments of $461.5 million and $479.5 million were held in trusts required to be maintained in relation to HG Global’s reinsurance agreements with BAM.

BAM and one of the Other Operating Businesses are required to maintain deposits with certain insurance regulatory agencies in order to maintain their insurance licenses. The fair value of such deposits, which represent state deposits and are included within the investment portfolio, totaled $4.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Lloyd’s trust deposits are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $113.4 million and $113.8 million

The underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit (“Funds at Lloyd’s”) in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit in an amount determined by Lloyd’s. The amount of such deposit is calculated for each member through the completion of an annual capital adequacy exercise. These requirements allow Lloyd’s to evaluate that each member has sufficient assets to meet its underwriting liabilities plus a required solvency margin. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of Ark’s Funds at Lloyd’s investment deposits totaled $304.8 million and $342.8 million.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ark had $49.8 million and $50.0 million of short-term investments pledged as collateral under an uncommitted standby letter of credit. See Note 7 — “Debt.”

All of White Mountains’s collateral loan obligations were rated AAA or AA as of June 30, 2022.

Investment in MediaAlpha

Following the MediaAlpha IPO, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha is accounted for at fair value based on the publicly traded share price of MediaAlpha’s common stock and is presented as a separate line item on the balance sheet.

Investments in private equity funds are generally subject to a lock-up period during which investors may not request a redemption. Distributions prior to the expected termination date of the fund may be limited to dividends or proceeds arising from the liquidation of the fund’s underlying investments. In addition, certain private equity funds have the option to extend the lock-up period.

The following table presents investments in private equity funds that were subject to lock-up periods as of June 30, 2022:

Millions	1 – 3 years	3 – 5 years	5 – 10 years	>10 years	Total
Private equity funds — expected lock-up period remaining	$29.8	$21.0	$128.8	$12.1	$191.7

Investors in private equity funds are generally subject to indemnification obligations outside of the capital commitment period and prior to the winding up of the fund. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains is not aware of any indemnification claims relating to its investments in private equity funds. 

Redemption of investments in most hedge funds is subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains’s hedge fund investment is subject to a perpetual two-year restriction on redemption frequency from the initial investment in the fund and a 90 days advanced notice period requirement.

Bank Loan Fund

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include a bank loan fund with a fair value of $154.4 million as of June 30, 2022. The fair value of this investment is estimated using the NAV of the fund. The bank loan fund’s investment objective is to provide, on an unleveraged basis, high current income consistent with preservation of capital and low duration. The bank loan fund primarily invests in a broad portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, floating-rate senior secured loans and may invest in other financial instruments, such as secured and unsecured corporate debt, credit default swaps, reverse repurchase agreements, synthetic indices and cash and cash equivalents.

The investment in the bank loan fund is subject to restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains may redeem all or a portion of its bank loan fund investment as of any calendar month-end upon 15 calendar days advanced written notice.

Lloyd’s Trust Deposits

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include Lloyd’s trust deposits, which consist of non-U.K. deposits and Canadian comingled pooled funds. The Lloyd’s trust deposits invest primarily in short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds held in trusts that are managed by Lloyd's of London. These investments are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. The fair value of the Lloyd’s trust deposits is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $113.4 million.

Insurance-Linked Securities Funds

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include ILS fund investments. The fair value of these investments is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains held investments in ILS funds with a fair value of $51.6 million.

Investments in ILS funds are generally subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, non-renewal clauses, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. From time to time, natural catastrophe, liquidity, market or other events will occur that make the determination of fair value for underlying investments in ILS funds less certain due to the potential for loss development. In such circumstances, the impacted investments may be subject to additional lock-up provisions.

ILS funds are typically subject to monthly and annual restrictions on redemptions and advance redemption notice period requirements that range between 30 and 90 days. Amounts requested for redemption remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period.

One of the ILS funds in White Mountains’s portfolio requires shareholders to provide advance redemption notice on or before September 15 of each calendar year. Amounts requested for redemption in this fund remain subject to market fluctuation until the underlying investment has fully matured or been commuted, which may be up to a period of three years from the start of each calendar year.

Rollforward of Level 3 Investments

Level 3 measurements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 consist of securities for which the estimated fair value has not been determined based upon quoted market price inputs for identical or similar securities. The following table presents the changes in White Mountains’s fair value measurements for Level 3 investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

    White Mountains accounts for purchases of businesses using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, White Mountains recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entities at their acquisition date fair values. The estimated acquisition date fair values, generally consisting of intangible assets and liabilities for contingent consideration, may be recorded at provisional amounts in circumstances where the information necessary to complete the acquisition accounting is not available at the reporting date. Any such provisional amounts are finalized as measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date.

The following table presents the economic lives, acquisition date fair values, accumulated amortization and net carrying values for other intangible assets and goodwill, by reportable segment as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(1) The relative fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in connection with recent acquisitions within Other Operations had not yet been finalized as of June 30, 2022.

Intangible Assets Valuation Methods

The goodwill recognized for the entities shown above is attributed to expected future cash flows. The acquisition date fair values of other intangible assets with finite lives are estimated using income approach techniques, which use future expected cash flows to develop a discounted present value amount.

The multi-period-excess-earnings method estimates fair value using the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the other intangible asset over its remaining life. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of other intangible assets associated with the underwriting capacity, trade names, customer relationships and contracts and information technology.

The relief-from-royalty method was used to estimate fair value for other intangible assets that relate to rights that could be obtained via a license from a third-party owner. Under this method, the fair value is estimated using the present value of license fees avoided by owning rather than leasing the asset. This technique was used to estimate the fair value of domain names, certain trademarks and brand names.

The with-or-without method estimates the fair value of other intangible assets that provide an incremental benefit. Under this method, the fair value of the other intangible asset is calculated by comparing the value of the entity with and without the other intangible asset. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of favorable lease terms.

On at least an annual basis beginning no later than the interim period included in the one-year anniversary of an acquisition, White Mountains evaluates goodwill and other intangible assets for potential impairment. Between annual evaluations, White Mountains considers changes in circumstances or events subsequent to the most recent evaluation that may indicate that an impairment may exist and, if necessary will perform an interim review for potential impairment.

The following table presents a summary of the acquisition date fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets for acquisitions completed from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022:

(1) The beginning reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $207.3 and $331.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $276.8 and $319.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(2) Amount represents the impact to net loss and LAE reserves due to a change in the TPC Providers’ participation related to the annual reinsurance to close (“RITC”) process.

(3) The ending reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $182.4 and $314.6 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ark recognized $22.7 million and $26.4 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development. Ark’s net favorable prior year loss reserve development in 2022 was driven primarily by the property and accident & health and specialty reserving lines of business, including favorable claims experience on prior year catastrophe events in the second quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ark recognized $9.0 million and $8.5 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development. Ark’s net favorable prior year loss reserve development in 2021, primarily related to property and accident & health and marine & energy reserving lines of business.

TPC Providers’ Participation

For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by TPC Providers using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. The TPC Providers’ participation in the Syndicates for the 2020 open year of account is 42.8% of the total net result of the Syndicates. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates.

An RITC agreement is generally put in place after the third year of operations for a year of account such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves, including future development thereon, are reinsured into the next year of account. As a result, and in combination with the changing participation provided by TPC Providers, Ark’s participation on outstanding loss and LAE reserves reinsured into the next year of account may change, perhaps significantly. During the first quarter of 2022, an RITC was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2019 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 58.3%, were reinsured into the 2020 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates is 42.8%. During the first quarter of 2021, an RITC was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2018 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 57.6%, were reinsured into the 2019 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 58.3%.

Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

HG Re and BAM do not have any outstanding loss and LAE reserves related to BAM’s municipal bond guarantee insurance business.

Third-Party Reinsurance

Third-Party Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, Ark may seek to limit losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events by reinsuring certain risks with third-party reinsurers. Ark remains liable for risks reinsured in the event that the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts.

The following table summarizes the effects of reinsurance on written and earned premiums and on losses and LAE for Ark for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

As of June 30, 2022, Ark had $375.5 million and $23.2 million of reinsurance recoverables on unpaid and paid losses. As of June 30, 2021, Ark had $425.3 million and $6.0 million of reinsurance recoverables on unpaid and paid losses. As reinsurance contracts do not relieve Ark of its obligation to its policyholders, Ark seeks to reduce the credit risk associated with reinsurance balances by avoiding over-reliance on specific reinsurers through the application of concentration limits and thresholds. Ark is selective with its reinsurers, placing reinsurance with only those reinsurers having a strong financial condition. Ark monitors the financial strength of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis.

As of June 30, 2022, Ark’s reinsurance recoverables of $398.7 million included $182.4 million attributable to TPC Providers, which are collateralized. As of June 30, 2021, Ark’s reinsurance recoverables of $431.3 million included $314.6 million related to TPC Providers, which are collateralized.

The following table provides a listing of Ark’s remaining gross and net reinsurance recoverables, excluding amounts attributable to TPC Providers, by the reinsurer’s A.M. Best Company, Inc (“A.M. Best”) rating and the percentage of total recoverables as of June 30, 2022:

$ in Millions	As of June 30, 2022

HG Global Senior Notes

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its $150.0 million face value floating rate secured senior notes (the “HG Global Senior Notes”). The HG Global Senior Notes, which mature in April 2032, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.3% per annum. Subsequent to the five-year anniversary of the funding date, absent the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global will make payments of principal on a quarterly basis totaling $15.0 million annually. Upon the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global is required to use all available cash flow to repay the notes. Early amortization trigger events include scenarios in which HG Re is effectively in run off. HG Global has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the HG Global Senior Notes after the five-year anniversary of the funding date at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest.

The HG Global Senior Notes require HG Global to maintain an interest reserve account of eight times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period, which is included in short-term investments. As of June 30, 2022, the interest reserve account is $22.0 million.

The HG Global Senior Notes are secured by the capital stock and other equity interests of HG Global’s subsidiaries, the interest reserve account, and all cash and non-cash proceeds from the foregoing collateral. The HG Global Senior Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

If the payments of principal and interest under the HG Global Senior Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of a relevant governmental authority for certain indemnified taxes, the HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum if the HG Global Senior Notes receive a non-investment grade rating or are no longer rated.

As of June 30, 2022, the HG Global Senior Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $150.0 million.

Ark Subordinated Notes

In March 2007, GAIL issued $30.0 million face value of floating rate unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to Alesco Preferred Funding XII Ltd., Alesco Preferred Funding XIII Ltd. and Alesco Preferred Funding XIV Ltd (the “Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes”). The Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes, which mature in June 2037, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.6% per annum. As of June 30, 2022, the Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2021, GAIL issued $163.3 million face value floating rate subordinated notes at par in three separate transactions for proceeds of $157.8 million, net of debt issuance costs. The unsecured subordinated notes (the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”) were issued in private placement offerings that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. On July 13, 2021, Ark issued €39.1 million ($46.3 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of the date of the transaction) face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1, which mature in July 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month EURIBOR plus 5.75% per annum. On August 11, 2021, Ark issued $47.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2, which mature in August 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 5.75% per annum. On September 8, 2021, Ark issued $70.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3”). The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3, which mature in September 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 6.1% per annum. On the ten-year anniversary of the issue dates, the interest rate for the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes will increase by 1.0% per annum. Ark has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes ahead of contractual maturity at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest at the ten-year anniversary or any subsequent interest payment date.

All payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes are conditional upon GAIL’s solvency and compliance with the enhanced capital requirements of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”). The deferral of payments of principal and interest under these conditions does not constitute a default by Ark and does not give the noteholders any rights to accelerate repayment of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes or take any enforcement action under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes.

If the payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of Bermuda or any political subdivision there, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum upon the occurrence of a premium load event until such event is remedied. Premium load events include the failure to meet payment obligations of the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 when due, failure of GAIL to maintain an investment grade credit rating, failure to maintain 120% of GAIL’s Bermuda solvency capital requirement, failure of GAIL to maintain a debt to capital ratio below 40%, late filing of GAIL’s or Ark’s financial information, and making a restricted payment or distribution on GAIL’s common stock or other securities that rank junior or pari passu with the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 when a different premium load event exists or will be caused by the restricted payment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 1 had an outstanding principal balance of €39.1 million ($41.5 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of June 30, 2022), the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 2 had an outstanding principal balance of $47.0 million, and the Ark 2021 Notes Tranche 3 had an outstanding principal balance of $70.0 million.

The Ark Subordinated Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Ark Standby Letter of Credit Facilities

In December 2021, Ark entered into two uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements to support the continued growth and expansion of its GAIL insurance and reinsurance operations. The standby letter of credit facility agreements were executed with ING Bank N.V., London Branch (the “ING LOC Facility”) with capacity of $50.0 million on an uncollateralized basis and with Citibank Europe Plc (the “Citibank LOC Facility”) with capacity of $100.0 million on a collateralized basis. As of June 30, 2022, the ING LOC Facility was undrawn. As of June 30, 2022, the Citibank LOC Facility had an outstanding principal balance of $36.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, $49.8 million of short-term investments were pledged as collateral under the Citibank LOC Facility. Ark’s uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements contain various representations, warranties and covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Kudu Credit Facility and Kudu Bank Facility

On December 23, 2019, Kudu entered into a secured credit facility with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (the “Kudu Bank Facility”). On March 23, 2021, Kudu replaced the Kudu Bank Facility and entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Kudu Credit Facility”) with Mass Mutual to repay the Kudu Bank Facility, and to fund new investments and related transaction expenses. The maximum borrowing capacity of the Kudu Credit Facility is $300.0 million. The Kudu Credit Facility matures on March 23, 2036. In connection with the replacement of the Kudu Bank Facility, Kudu recognized a total loss of $4.1 million, representing debt issuance costs and prepayment fees, which are included within interest expense for the year to date period ended June 30, 2021.

The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain an interest reserve account, which is included in restricted cash. As of June 30, 2022, the interest reserve account is $7.3 million. The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain a ratio of the outstanding balance to the sum of the fair market value of the participation contracts and cash held in certain accounts (the “LTV Percentage”) of less than 50% in years 0-3, 40% in years 4-6, 25% in years 7-8, 15% in years 9-10, and 0% thereafter. As of June 30, 2022, Kudu has a 34.1% LTV Percentage.

Kudu may borrow undrawn balances within the initial three-year availability period, subject to customary terms and conditions, to the extent the amount borrowed under the Kudu Credit Facility does not exceed the borrowing base, which is equal to 35% of the fair value of qualifying Kudu Participation Contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the available undrawn balance was $27.8 million.

The following table presents the change in debt under the Kudu Bank Facility and Kudu Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The Kudu Credit Facility is secured by all property of the loan parties and contains various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Other Operations Debt

As of June 30, 2022, debt in White Mountains’s Other Operations segment consisted of five secured credit facilities (collectively, “Other Operations debt”).

The first credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $16.3 million, which is comprised of a term loan of $11.3 million, a delayed-draw term loan of $3.0 million and a revolving credit loan commitment of $2.0 million, all with a maturity date of March 12, 2024.

The fourth credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $11.5 million, which is comprised of a revolving credit loan commitment, with a maturity date of April 7, 2027. The fifth credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $11.5 million, which is comprised of a revolving credit loan commitment, with a maturity date of May 31, 2027.

During the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains’s Other Operations segment borrowed $19.0 million and $21.0 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains’s Other Operations segment made repayments of $1.1 million and $2.4 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains’s Other Operations segment had no borrowings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains’s Other Operation segment made repayments of $0.2 million and $0.4 million on the term loans, under the second credit facility. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the White Mountains’s Other Operations segment debt had an outstanding principal balance of $35.7 million and $17.1 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966 states that the Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035. The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world and are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate.  As of June 30, 2022, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches were subject to tax were Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States.

White Mountains’s income tax benefit related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 represented an effective tax rate of 6.9% and 7.6%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in certain U.S. operations, consisting of the WM Adams, Inc. consolidated tax group within the Other Operations segment, and BAM and state income taxes.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 18.6%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities. On June 10, 2021, the U.K. enacted an increase in its corporate tax rate from 19.0% to 25.0% for periods after April 1, 2023. On June 30, 2021, White Mountains increased its net U.K. deferred tax liability to reflect the higher tax rate on temporary differences projected to reverse after the new rate becomes effective.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 represented an effective tax rate of 42.1%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by the additional tax expense related to the revaluation of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities in relation to White Mountains’s pre-tax income in the first six months of 2021.

In arriving at the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, White Mountains forecasted all income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021.

White Mountains records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, White Mountains considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset.

With few exceptions, White Mountains is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

Derivatives

HG Global Interest Rate Cap

On June 16, 2022, HG entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on July 25, 2022, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes. The notional amount of the interest rate cap is $150.0 million and the termination date is July 25, 2025.

HG paid initial premiums of $3.3 million for the interest rate cap. Under the terms of the interest rate cap agreement, if the current three-month SOFR rate at the measurement date exceeds 3.5%, HG will receive payments from the counterparty equal to the difference between the three-month SOFR rate on the determination date and 3.5%, multiplied by the notional amount of the cap based on the number of days in the quarter and a year equal to 360 days. As of June 30, 2022, the three-month SOFR rate was 2.1%.

HG accounts for the interest rate cap as a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains recognized a loss of $1.5 million related to the change in fair value on the interest rate cap within interest expense. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the interest rate cap recorded in other assets was $1.8 million.

Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Guarantees [Abstract]

Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance

HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM, a mutual municipal bond insurer. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, provided the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of the BAM Surplus Notes.

Reinsurance Treaties

FLRT

BAM is a party to a first loss reinsurance treaty (“FLRT”) with HG Re under which HG Re provides first loss protection up to 15%-of-par outstanding on each municipal bond insured by BAM. For capital appreciation bonds, par is adjusted to the estimated equivalent par value for current interest paying bonds. In return, BAM cedes up to 60% of the risk premium charged for insuring the municipal bond, which is net of a ceding commission. The FLRT is a perpetual agreement with terms that can be renegotiated after a specified period of time. During 2021, BAM and HG Re agreed that the terms may be renegotiated at the end of 2024, and each subsequent five-year period thereafter.

Fidus Re

BAM is party to a collateralized financial guarantee excess of loss reinsurance agreement that serves to increase BAM’s claims paying resources and is provided by Fidus Re Ltd. (“Fidus Re”).

In 2018, Fidus Re was initially capitalized by the issuance of $100.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2018 Agreement”). The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. The insurance-linked securities were issued by Fidus Re with an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. Under the Fidus Re 2018 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $165.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2018 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $100.0 million. The Fidus Re 2018 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $276.1 million. The 2018 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 29% of BAM’s portfolio of financial guaranty policies issued through June 30, 2022.

In the first quarter of 2021, Fidus Re issued an additional $150.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2021 Agreement”) with an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. Under the Fidus Re 2021 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $135.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2021 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $150.0 million. The Fidus Re 2021 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $301.7 million. The 2021 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 34% of BAM’s portfolio of financial guaranty policies issued through June 30, 2022.

The Fidus Re agreements are accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as they do not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance.

XOLT

In January 2020, BAM entered into an excess of loss reinsurance agreement (the “XOLT”) with HG Re. Under the XOLT, HG Re provides last dollar protection for exposures on municipal bonds insured by BAM in excess of New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) single issuer limits. The XOLT is subject to an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of $75.0 million or the assets held in the supplemental collateral trust (the “Supplemental Trust”) at any point in time. The agreement is accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as the agreement does not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance.

Collateral Trusts

HG Re’s obligations under the FLRT are limited to the assets in two collateral trusts: the Supplemental Trust and a Regulation 114 Trust (together, the “Collateral Trusts”). Losses required to be reimbursed under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets held in the Collateral Trusts at any point in time.

On a monthly basis, BAM deposits cash equal to ceded premiums, net of ceding commissions, due to HG Re under the FLRT directly into the Regulation 114 Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust target balance is equal to gross ceded unearned premiums and unpaid ceded loss and LAE, if any. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is below the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Supplemental Trust and deposited into the Regulation 114 Trust in an amount equal to the shortfall. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is above 102% of the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust and deposited into the Supplemental Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $253.6 million and $250.2 million.

The Supplemental Trust target balance is $603.0 million, less the amount of cash and securities in the Regulation 114 Trust in excess of its target balance (the “Supplemental Trust Target Balance”). If, at the end of any quarter, the Supplemental Trust balance exceeds the Supplemental Trust Target Balance, such excess may be distributed to HG Re. The distribution will be made first as an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and second in cash and/or fixed income securities.

As the BAM Surplus Notes are repaid over time, the BAM Surplus Notes will be replaced in the Supplemental Trust by cash and fixed income securities. The Supplemental Trust balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $583.6 million and $601.8 million.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Collateral Trusts held assets of $837.2 million and $852.0 million, which included $463.9 million and $481.7 million of cash and investments, $364.6 million and $364.6 million of BAM Surplus Notes and $8.7 million and $5.7 million of interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes.

BAM Surplus Notes

Through 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is a variable rate equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points, set annually. During 2022, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is 3.2%. Beginning in 2025, the interest rate will be fixed at the higher of the then current variable rate or 8.0%. Under its agreements with HG Global, BAM is required to seek regulatory approval to pay interest and principal on the BAM Surplus Notes only to the extent that its remaining qualified statutory capital and other capital resources continue to support its outstanding obligations, its business plan and its “AA/stable” rating from Standard & Poor’s. No payment of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes may be made without the approval of the NYDFS.

In December 2021, BAM made a $33.8 million cash payment of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes held by HG Global. Of this payment, $23.6 million was a repayment of principal held in the Supplemental Trust, $0.4 million was a payment of accrued interest held inside the Supplemental Trust and $9.8 million was a payment of accrued interest held outside the Supplemental Trust.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, BAM made no repayments of the BAM Surplus Notes or accrued interest.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal balance on the BAM Surplus Notes was $364.6 million and $364.6 million and total interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes was $163.5 million and $157.6 million.

In January 2021, BAM entered into a 100% facultative quota share reinsurance agreement under which it assumed a portfolio of municipal bond guarantee contracts with a par value of $805.5 million.

None of the contracts assumed under these reinsurance agreements were non-performing, and no loss reserves have been established for any of the contracts, either as of the transaction date or as of June 30, 2022. The agreement, which covers future claims exposure only, meets the risk transfer criteria under ASC 944-20, Insurance Activities and accordingly has been accounted for as reinsurance.

Earnings Per Share

White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common shares and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in dividends and earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares.

The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

White Mountains’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “WTM Incentive Plan”) provides for grants of various types of share-based and non-share-based incentive awards to key employees of White Mountains. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, White Mountains’s share-based compensation incentive awards consist of performance shares and restricted shares.

Performance Shares

Performance shares are designed to reward employees for meeting company-wide performance targets. Performance shares are conditional grants of a specified maximum number of common shares or an equivalent amount of cash. Awards generally vest at the end of a three-year service period, are subject to the attainment of pre-specified performance goals, and are valued based on the market value of common shares at the time awards are paid. Performance shares earned under the WTM Incentive Plan are typically paid in cash but may be paid in common shares. Compensation expense is recognized for the vested portion of the awards over the related service periods. The level of payout ranges from zero to two times the number of shares initially granted, depending on White Mountains’s financial performance. Performance shares become payable at the conclusion of a performance cycle (typically 3 years) if pre-defined financial targets are met. The performance measures used for determining performance share payouts are growth in White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share and intrinsic value per share. Intrinsic value per share is generally calculated by adjusting adjusted book value per share for differences between the adjusted book value of certain assets and liabilities and White Mountains’s estimate of their underlying intrinsic values.

The following table presents the performance share activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for performance shares granted under the WTM Incentive Plan:

(1) WTM performance share payments in 2022 for the 2019-2021 performance cycle, which were paid in cash in March 2022 at 172% of target.  WTM performance share payments in 2021 for the 2018-2020 performance cycle, which were paid in cash in March 2021 at 200% of target. 

(2) Amounts include changes in assumed forfeitures, as required under GAAP.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, White Mountains granted 150 and 13,225 performance shares for the 2022-2024 performance cycle. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains granted 475 and 13,475 performance shares for the 2021-2023 performance cycle.

For the 2019-2021 performance cycle, the Company issued common shares for 750 performance shares earned and all other performance shares earned were settled in cash. For the 2018-2020 performance cycle, all performance shares earned were settled in cash. If all the outstanding WTM performance shares had vested on June 30, 2022, the total additional compensation cost to be recognized would have been $44.0 million, based on accrual factors (common share price and payout assumptions) as of June 30, 2022.

The following table presents performance shares outstanding and accrued expense for performance shares awarded under the WTM Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2022 for each performance cycle:

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

White Mountains has entered into lease agreements, primarily for office space. These leases are classified as operating leases, with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives, such as free rent or landlord reimbursements for leasehold improvements, are recognized at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease expense and the amortization of leasehold improvements are recognized within general and administrative expenses. Lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term are excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities unless White Mountains is reasonably certain of exercising those options.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the right of use (“ROU”) asset was $26.2 million and $28.1 million and lease liabilities were $28.2 million and $30.0 million.

The following table summarizes net lease expense recognized in White Mountains’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

White Mountains, and the insurance industry in general, is routinely subject to claims related litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business, as well as litigation and arbitration that do not arise from, nor are directly related to, claims activity. White Mountains’s estimates of the costs of settling matters routinely encountered in claims activity are reflected in the reserves for unpaid loss and LAE. See Note 5 — “Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.”

White Mountains considers the requirements of ASC 450 when evaluating its exposure to non-claims related litigation and arbitration. ASC 450 requires that accruals be established for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and it can be reasonably estimated. ASC 450 also requires that litigation and arbitration be disclosed if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. White Mountains does not have any current non-claims related litigation that may have a material adverse effect on White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NSM

On August 1, 2022, White Mountains closed the previously announced NSM Transaction. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As a result of the NSM Transaction, effective as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale, and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Sirius Group

On April 18, 2016, White Mountains completed the sale of Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. (“Sirius Group”) to CM International Pte. Ltd. and CM Bermuda Limited (collectively “CMI”). In connection with the sale, White Mountains indemnified Sirius Group against the loss of certain interest deductions claimed by Sirius Group related to periods prior to the sale of Sirius Group to CMI that had been disputed by the Swedish Tax Agency. In late October 2018, the Swedish Administrative Court ruled against Sirius Group on its appeal of the Swedish Tax Agency’s denial of these interest deductions. As a result, in 2018 White Mountains recorded a loss of $17.3 million within net gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations reflecting the value of these interest deductions.

As of December 31, 2020, White Mountains’s liability related to the tax indemnification provided in connection with the sale of Sirius Group in 2016 was $18.7 million. In April 2021, the Swedish Tax Agency informed the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal that Sirius Group should prevail in its appeal and that the interest deductions should not be disallowed. In June 2021, the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal ruled in Sirius Group’s favor. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, White Mountains recorded a gain of $17.6 million in discontinued operations to reverse the liability accrued as of December 31, 2020 and $1.1 million gain related to foreign currency translation.

Earnings Per Share from Discontinued Operations

White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. Diluted earnings per share amounts are also impacted by the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of White Mountains. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reportable Segments

Reportable Segments

White Mountains has determined its reportable segments based on the nature of the underlying businesses, the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized and managed and the organization of the financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources. As of June 30, 2022, White Mountains’s reportable segments were HG Global/BAM, Ark, Kudu and Other Operations.

The HG Global/BAM segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“HG Global”) and the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) (collectively, “HG Global/BAM”). BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.9% of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4% of its common equity. White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity for which White Mountains is the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results are all attributed to non-controlling interests.

The Ark segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, marine & energy, specialty, accident & health and casualty. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 (the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0% after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing. For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by third-party insurance and reinsurance groups (“TPC Providers”) using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. Captions within results of operations and other comprehensive income are shown net of amounts relating to the TPC Providers share of the Syndicates’ results, including investment results.

The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic assistance to investees from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions typically are structured as minority preferred equity stakes with distribution rights, generally tied to gross revenues and designed to generate strong, stable cash yields. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 89.3% and 99.3% of the basic units outstanding (76.1% and 84.7% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis). The Other Operations segment consists of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), PassportCard Limited (“PassportCard”) and DavidShield Life Insurance Agency (2000) Ltd. (“DavidShield”) (collectively, “PassportCard/DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), and certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

On May 9, 2022, White Mountains Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (“WTM Holdings Seller”) and White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc. (“NSM Holdings”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “NSM SPA”) together with NSM Insurance HoldCo, LLC (“NSM” and, collectively with NSM Holdings, the “NSM Group”) to sell NSM Holdings for cash (the “NSM Transaction”) to investment funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group Inc. (“Carlyle”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” NSM is a full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) and program administrator with delegated binding authorities for specialty property and casualty insurance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, White Mountains owned 96.5% of the basic units outstanding of NSM (87.3% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

As a result of the NSM Transaction, effective as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.”

Fair value measurements by level, investment securities

The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, municipalities or entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate.
