Segment Information
Segment Information
The Company is organized into two operating segments: Insurance and Reinsurance.
The Company's general investment and financing operations are reflected in "Corporate and Other." Subsequent to the transaction described in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies," GCLR reinsures the majority of the Company's life reinsurance business through the GreyCastle Life Retro Arrangements. The results of the run-off life operations not subject to the GreyCastle Life Retro Arrangements are also reported within "Corporate and Other."
The Company evaluates the performance of both the Insurance and Reinsurance segments based on underwriting profit. Other items of revenues and expenditures of the Company are not evaluated at the segment level. In addition, the Company does not allocate investment assets used to support its Property and Casualty ("P&C") operations to the individual segments, except as noted below. Investment assets related to the Company's run-off life operations are held in a separately identified portfolio. Net investment income from these assets is included in the contribution from "Corporate and Other." Certain structured products included in the Insurance and Reinsurance segments are also held in separately identified portfolios. As such, net investment income from these assets is included in the contribution from the applicable segment.
The following tables summarize the segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:
