WHITE MOUNTAINS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

HAMILTON, Bermuda (August 7, 2024) - White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported book value per share of $1,722 and adjusted book value per share of $1,777 as of June 30, 2024.

Manning Rountree, CEO, commented, “ABVPS was down 1% in the quarter, due primarily to our investment in MediaAlpha. Excluding MediaAlpha, ABVPS was up 2%, driven by solid results at our operating companies and good investment returns. Ark produced an 89% combined ratio and $697 million of gross written premiums in the quarter, up 15% year-over-year. BAM generated $28 million of total gross written premiums and member surplus contributions in the quarter, up 7% year-over-year due to strong primary market volume. At Kudu, trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA increased, while the value of the continuing portfolio grew 7%. Bamboo had another strong quarter, once again tripling managed premiums year-over-year and growing adjusted EBITDA. MediaAlpha’s share price declined 35% in the quarter, producing a $139 million loss. Excluding MediaAlpha, investment returns were good on an absolute and relative basis. Undeployed capital now stands at roughly $650 million.”

Seán McCarthy, CEO of BAM, said, “BAM had a solid quarter and first half. Primary market par insured totaled $7.9 billion for the first half, up 55% from 2023 and a record result. This included 18 transactions of $100 million or more, reflecting strong demand from retail and institutional buyers in the primary market. Total pricing decreased year-over-year, in part because of the volume of large, higher-credit issuance. Secondary market activity was up 20% year-over-year in the quarter, as heightened interest rate volatility created opportunities.

MediaAlpha

Regulation G

This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
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 add back the unearned premium reserve, net of deferred acquisition costs, at HG Global and (ii) 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.

The value of HG Global’s unearned premium reserve, net of deferred acquisition costs, was $199 million, $196 million, $195 million and $182 million as of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

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 surplus notes, the present value of the BAM surplus notes, including accrued interest and using an 8% discount rate, was estimated to be $87 million, $89 million, $91 million and $95 million less than the nominal GAAP carrying values as of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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 in-force business at HG Re, HG Global’s reinsurance subsidiary, and the value of the BAM surplus notes.

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 8.

The growth in adjusted book value per share excluding net realized and unrealized investment losses from White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha on page 1 is a non-GAAP financial measure. White Mountains believes this measure to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains without regard to the impact of changes in MediaAlpha’s share price. A reconciliation from GAAP to the reported percentages is as follows:

Kudu’s EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, annualized adjusted EBITDA, annualized revenue and cash revenue yield are non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to 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 added back to calculate EBITDA. The items relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu’s revenue and earnings participation contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:
Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) - Represents net unrealized investment gains and losses recorded on Kudu’s revenue and earnings participation contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses from 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.

Annualized adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) annualizes partial year revenues related to Kudu’s revenue and earnings participation contracts acquired during the previous 12-month period and (ii) removes partial year revenues related to revenue and earnings participation contracts sold during the previous 12-month period.

Annualized revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds the adjustments for annualized adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net investment income.

Cash revenue yield is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived using annualized revenue as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu’s performance. White Mountains also believes that annualized adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in understanding the full earnings profile of Kudu’s business as of the end of any 12-month period. See page 19 for the reconciliation of Kudu’s GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Kudu’s GAAP net investment income to annualized revenue.

Bamboo’s MGA pre-tax income (loss), MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

MGA pre-tax income (loss) and MGA net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of the Bamboo Captive, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss). The following table presents the reconciliation from Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to MGA pre-tax income (loss):

MillionsThree Months Ended June 30, 2024Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss)$6.4 $7.3

MGA EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to MGA net income (loss).

MGA adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate MGA EBITDA. The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (ii) software implementation expenses and (iii) restructuring expenses. A description of each item follows:
Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Bamboo’s management compensation that are settled with equity units in Bamboo.
Software implementation expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo’s implementation of new software.
Restructuring expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo’s corporate restructuring and capital planning activities associated with the development of new markets.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Bamboo’s performance. See page 21 for the reconciliation of Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA.

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha and total equity portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes these measures to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains’s investment portfolio and equity portfolio without regard to White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha. The following tables present reconciliations from GAAP to the reported percentages:
