Endurance Comments on Net Negative Financial Impact of Second Quarter 2016 Catastrophe Events

PEMBROKE, Bermuda — July 14, 2016 — Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: ENH), a Bermuda-based specialty provider of property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, today provided an initial estimate of the net negative financial impact in the second quarter from the Fort McMurray wildfires in Canada, the convective storms in Texas and Europe and the Kumamoto earthquake in Japan in the amount of $55.5 million. The initial estimated net negative financial impact predominantly emanated from Endurance’s Global Catastrophe Reinsurance business and includes the sum of net losses loss expenses, reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded and non-controlling interests as follows:

Net losses and loss expenses

   $ 73.6   

Less: net reinstatement premiums

     (11.1
  

 

 

 

Estimated net negative financial impact on underwriting results

   $ 62.5   

Less: net negative impact attributable to non-controlling interests

     (7.0
  

 

 

 

Estimated net negative financial impact to Endurance

   $ 55.5   
  

 

 

 

Endurance’s estimated losses are predicated upon estimated combined industry losses from these events of approximately $10.0 billion.

Endurance’s estimate is largely derived from a combination of its proprietary catastrophe modeling, standard industry models, a review of in-force contracts and preliminary indications from clients and brokers. To date, reported claims as a result of these events have been limited; accordingly, the actual impact may ultimately differ materially from initial estimates.
