Underwriting Results - Property Segment: Strong combined ratio of 27.1%

• Gross premiums written decreased by $180.3 million, or 10.4%, driven by:

– a decrease of $187.7 million, or 13.9%, in the catastrophe class, not including reinstatement premiums, with rate reductions being partially offset by growth opportunities; partly offset by

– an increase of $35.0 million in the other property class, as premiums in Q2 2025 were impacted by downwards premium adjustments, in part due to rate decreases in the excess and surplus business.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year held relatively flat year over year due to the low level of catastrophe losses in both the current and comparative quarter.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 29.2%, driven by:

– net favorable development of $132.7 million in the catastrophe class, primarily from the large loss events in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025; and

– net favorable development of $124.7 million in the other property class, primarily due to favorable attritional loss experience.

• Underwriting expense ratio remained relatively flat quarter over quarter, as expense growth was largely offset by the Bermuda tax credits.
• Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio benefited from the low current accident year net losses and prior accident years net favorable development.

Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Lower impact from current accident year large losses compared to Q2 2025

• Gross premiums written decreased by $246.5 million, or 14.6%, principally due to:

– exposure reductions across the general casualty, professional liability and other specialty classes;

– changes in premium estimates on business underwritten in prior years in the other specialty class, largely from rate pressure in cyber; and

– a decrease in the credit class driven by opportunistic deals written during Q2 2025 that were not up for renewal.

• Net premiums written decreased by $371.2 million, or 25.7%, consistent with the drivers for gross premiums written discussed above, in addition to an increase in the Company’s retrocessional purchases.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 0.6 percentage points compared to Q2 2025, principally driven by the lower impact of large loss events within the other specialty class.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net adverse development of 4.4%, including $54.0 million, or 4.1 percentage points, from a shift of previously reported loss estimates for the Baltimore Bridge Collapse to Casualty and Specialty from the other property class, and $5.5 million, or 0.4 percentage points, related to purchase accounting adjustments.

• Underwriting expense ratio improved by 2.5 percentage points, driven by:

– a 1.7 percentage point improvement in the operating expense ratio, primarily due to the Bermuda tax credits and an increase in override management fees; and

– a 0.8 percentage point improvement in the acquisition expense ratio, primarily due to a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments.

• Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio each included adverse development related to the Baltimore Bridge Collapse, which was partially offset by the lower underwriting expense ratio.

Fee Income: $83.0 million of fee income, with strong contributions from both management and performance fees

• Management fee income decreased as a result of lower management fees in DaVinci, primarily due to a recapture of previously deferred management fees in Q2 2025 which did not repeat in Q2 2026, combined with lower management fees in DaVinci and Fontana due to lower net premiums earned.

• Performance fee income decreased primarily driven by lower prior accident years net favorable development within Upsilon.

• Total fee income in Q2 2026 included $59.4 million of fee income recorded in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is not included in the Company’s underwriting income (loss).

Investment Results: Net investment income of $432.5 million, up 4.7% from Q2 2025, and net realized and unrealized gains of $121.6 million

• Net investment income increased by $19.4 million, primarily due to higher average invested assets and portfolio reallocation, resulting in increased income from fixed income exchange traded funds.

• Net realized and unrealized gains on investments in Q2 2026 were driven by:

– $217.3 million of net gains on equity-related investments, primarily from equity futures being favorably impacted by equity market movements in the quarter;

– $99.9 million of net gains on fund and direct private equity investments, as a result of favorable equity market movements; partially offset by

– $115.3 million of net losses on fixed maturity-related investments, primarily due to increases in market yields in the quarter; and

– $79.1 million of net losses on commodity-related investments, principally due to decreases in prices for gold futures.

• Total investments were $36.2 billion at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $36.1 billion).

– strong underwriting income in DaVinci and Vermeer;

– $31.9 million of net realized and unrealized losses in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; and
