**Pembroke, Bermuda, April 29, 2026** - AXIS Capital Holdings Limited ("AXIS Capital" or "AXIS" or "the Company") (NYSE: AXS) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Commenting on the first quarter 2026 financial results, Vince Tizzio, President and CEO of AXIS Capital said:

*"AXIS began 2026 building on the profitable growth that has defined our performance over the past three years. In the quarter, we produced gross premiums written of $3.1 billion, which represents an 11% increase year-over-year, with an 89.8% combined ratio. This translates to a 17.7% annualized operating return on average common equity, with 17.6% diluted book value per share growth over the past twelve months.*

*"Our Insurance business generated strong results with $1.9 billion gross premiums written and an 86.3% combined ratio, continuing to benefit from our expanded business classes and recently launched AXIS Capacity Solutions capability. AXIS Re continues to produce very solid underwriting profits, generating a 92.7% combined ratio while leaning into attractive short tail lines which comprised more than 60% of total reinsurance premiums.*

*"This performance highlights the sustained strength of our operating model. Our investments in products, distribution, innovation and talent are unlocking new opportunities to drive profitable growth as we execute on our specialty strategy."*

**First Quarter Consolidated Results\***

• Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was $247 million, an increase of $60 million, or 33%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

• Operating income<sup>(1)</sup> for the first quarter of 2026 was $257 million, a decrease of $5 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

• Underwriting income<sup>(2)</sup> for the first quarter of 2026 was $187 million, an increase of $24 million, or 15%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

• Net investment income for the first quarter of 2026 was $185 million, a decrease of $23 million, or 11%, primarily attributable to lower income from cash following the loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement ("LPT transaction") completed with Enstar in the second quarter of 2025.

• Fees related to arrangements with strategic capital partners for the first quarter of 2026 of $23 million, compared to $16 million in the prior year.

• Book yield of fixed maturities was 4.7% at March 31, 2026, compared to 4.5% at March 31, 2025. The market yield was 5.1% at March 31, 2026.

• The effective tax rate of 18.0% for the quarter was principally due to pre-tax income in our U.S. and U.K. operations, compared to 18.6% for the first quarter of 2025 principally due to pre-tax income in our Bermuda, U.K., U.S., and European operations.

• Reorganization expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $23 million, primarily related to costs attributable to streamlining our reinsurance operations and costs attributable to transitions in executive leadership.

• Total capital returned to common shareholders of $93 million, including common share repurchases of $60 million pursuant to our Board-authorized share repurchase program, and common share dividends of $33 million in the quarter.

• Book value per diluted common share was $78.19 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.99, or 1.3%, compared to December 31, 2025.

• Book value per diluted common share increased by $11.71, or 17.6%, over the past twelve months, driven by net income, and a reduction in net unrealized investment losses, partially offset by common share repurchases, and common share dividends of $1.76 per share.

\* Amounts may not reconcile due to rounding differences.

<sup>1</sup> Operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) per diluted common share are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. The reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders and earnings (loss) per diluted common share, respectively, and a discussion of the rationale for the presentation of these items are provided later in this press release.

• Gross premiums written increased by $303 million, or 11% ($244 million, or 9%, on a constant currency basis<sup>(6)</sup>), to $3.1 billion with an increase of $328 million, or 20% in the insurance segment, partially offset by a decrease of $25 million, or 2% in the reinsurance segment.

• Net premiums written increased by $157 million, or 9% ($101 million, or 6%, on a constant currency basis), to $1.9 billion with an increase of $248 million, or 24% in the insurance segment, partially offset by a decrease of $92 million, or 13% in the reinsurance segment.

• Pre-tax, catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of reinsurance, were $48 million ($38 million after-tax), or 3.2 points, related to the Insurance segment, including natural catastrophe losses of $33 million or 2.2 points, primarily attributable to U.S. winter storms and other weather-related events. The remaining losses of $15 million or 1.0 point were attributable to the Middle East conflict.

• Net favorable prior year reserve development was $18 million (Insurance: $15 million; Reinsurance: $3 million), compared to $18 million in 2025.

• The underwriting-related general and administrative expense ratio decreased by 1.2 points, mainly driven by an increase in net premiums earned and efficiencies gained from investments in underwriting platforms.

<sup>3</sup> All comparisons are with the same period of the prior year, unless otherwise stated.

<sup>4</sup> The current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses is calculated by dividing the current accident year losses less pre-tax catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of reinsurance, by net premiums earned less reinstatement premiums.

<sup>5</sup> Current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, current accident year combined ratio, and current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G.

<sup>6</sup> Amounts presented on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G.

• Net investment income decreased by $23 million, or 11%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to lower income from cash following the LPT transaction completed in the second quarter of 2025.

• Net investment gains (losses) recognized in net income (loss) for the quarter was primarily related to net unrealized losses on equity securities and net realized gains on the sale of equities and fixed maturities.

• Change in net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities, pre-tax of $(159) million ($(135) million excluding foreign exchange movements) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the quarter was due to a decrease in the market value of our fixed maturities portfolio associated with the increase in sovereign yields and the widening of credit spreads.

• Book yield of fixed maturities was 4.7% at March 31, 2026, compared to 4.5% at March 31, 2025. The market yield was 5.1% at March 31, 2026.

<sup>7</sup> Change in net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities is calculated by taking net unrealized gains (losses) at period end less net unrealized gains (losses) at the prior period end.

<sup>8</sup> The average cash and investments balance is the average of the monthly fair value balances.

<sup>9</sup> Pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in SEC Regulation G. The reconciliation to pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, also included foreign exchange (losses) gains of $(24) million and $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**Rationale for the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We present our results of operations in a way we believe will be meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements we use are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules and regulations. In this press release, we present underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, consolidated underwriting income (loss), current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, current accident year combined ratio, current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, operating income (loss) *(in total and on a per share basis)*, annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE"), amounts presented on a constant currency basis and pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

*<u>Underwriting-Related General and Administrative Expenses</u>*

Underwriting-related general and administrative expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in the *'Segment Information'* note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our worldwide insurance and reinsurance operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting-related general and administrative expenses to general and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Segmental Data'* section of this press release.

*<u>Consolidated Underwriting Income (Loss)</u>*

Consolidated underwriting income (loss) is a pre-tax measure of underwriting profitability that takes into account net premiums earned and other insurance related income (loss) as revenues and net losses and loss expenses, acquisition costs and underwriting-related general and administrative expenses as expenses. While this measure is presented in the *'Segment Information'* note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

We evaluate our underwriting results separately from the performance of our investment portfolio. As a result, we believe it is appropriate to exclude net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from our underwriting profitability measure.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities, and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses), and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements

AXIS Capital Holdings Limited 29 Richmond Road Pembroke, Bermuda HM08

Tel. 441.496.2600

<u>www.axiscapital.com</u>

------

of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to our underwriting performance. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Interest expense and financing costs primarily relate to interest payable on our debt and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As these expenses are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these expenses are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Reorganization expenses in 2026 primarily related to costs attributable to streamlining our reinsurance operations and costs attributable to transitions in executive leadership. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Amortization of intangible assets arose from business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

We believe that the presentation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and consolidated underwriting income (loss) provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying pre-tax profitability of our underwriting activities. The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Segmental Data'* section of this press release.

*<u>Current Accident Year Loss Ratio</u>*

Current accident year loss ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development. We believe that the presentation of current accident year loss ratio provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting net losses and loss expenses associated with our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development. The reconciliation of current accident year loss ratio to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights'* section of this press release.

*<u>Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses Ratio</u> <u>and Current Accident Year Loss Ratio, excluding Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses</u>*

Catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio associated with natural catastrophes, man-made disasters, other significant catastrophe events and other weather-related events exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development.

Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development and net losses and loss expenses associated with natural catastrophes, man-made disasters, other significant catastrophe events and other weather-related events.

We believe that the presentation of these ratios that separately identify net losses and loss expenses associated with catastrophe and weather-related events provide investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the occurrence of these events, the potential magnitude of these losses and the complexity that affects our ability to accurately estimate ultimate losses associated with these events.

The reconciliation of catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio and current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights'* section of this press release.

*<u>Current Accident Year Combined Ratio</u>*

Current accident year combined ratio represents underwriting results exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development. We believe that the presentation of current accident year combined ratio provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the profitability of our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development. The reconciliation of current accident year combined ratio to combined ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights'* section of this press release.

*<u>Current Accident Year Combined Ratio, excluding Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses</u>*

Current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses represents underwriting results exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development and net losses and loss expenses associated with natural catastrophes, man-made disasters, other significant catastrophe events and other weather-related events.

We believe that the presentation of current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the profitability of our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development and by separately identifying net losses and loss expenses associated with catastrophe and weather-related events due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the occurrence of these events, the potential magnitude of these losses and the complexity that affects our ability to accurately estimate ultimate losses associated with these events.

The reconciliation of current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses to combined ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights'* section of this press release.

*<u>Operating Income (Loss)</u>*

Operating income (loss) represents after-tax operational results exclusive of net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

Although the investment of premiums to generate income and investment gains (losses) is an integral part of our operations, the determination to realize investment gains (losses) is independent of the underwriting process and is heavily influenced by the availability of market opportunities. Furthermore, many users believe that the timing of the realization of investment gains (losses) is somewhat opportunistic for many companies.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses) and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to the performance of our business. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from operating income (loss).

Reorganization expenses in 2026 primarily related to costs attributable to streamlining our reinsurance operations and costs attributable to transitions in executive leadership. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from operating income (loss).

Interest in income (loss) of equity method investments is primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, this income (loss) is excluded from operating income (loss).

Certain users of our financial statements evaluate performance exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments in order to understand the profitability of recurring sources of income.

We believe that showing net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business. In addition, we believe that this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze performance in a manner similar to how our management analyzes the underlying business performance. We also believe this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, facilitates comparison of our performance with our peer group. We believe that equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow us, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation'* section of this press release.

We also present operating income (loss) per diluted common share and annualized operating ROACE, which are derived from the operating income (loss) measure and are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, earnings (loss) per diluted common share and annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE"), respectively, in the *'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation'* section of this press release.

*<u>Constant Currency Basis</u>*

We present gross premiums written and net premiums written on a constant currency basis in this press release. The amounts presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate from the current year to the prior year amounts. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze growth in gross premiums written and net premiums written on a constant basis. The reconciliation to gross premiums written and net premiums written on a GAAP basis is presented in the *'Insurance Segment'* and *'Reinsurance Segment'* sections of this press release.

*<u>Pre-Tax, Total Return on Average Cash and Investments excluding Foreign Exchange Movements</u>*

Pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements measures net investment income (loss), net investment gains (losses), interest in income (loss) of equity method investments, and change in unrealized gains (losses) generated by average cash and investment balances. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze the performance of our investment portfolio. The reconciliation of pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements to pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Investments'* section of this press release.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. This document or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may include forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this document are forward-looking statements.

**[a]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Operating income (loss), operating income (loss) per diluted common share, annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE"), current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses and tangible book value per diluted common share are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G. The reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders, earnings (loss) per diluted common share, annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE"), net losses and loss expenses ratio and book value per diluted common share, respectively, and a discussion of the rationale for the presentation of these items are provided above/later in this document.

**[b]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Annualized ROACE is calculated by dividing annualized net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders for the period by the average common shareholders' equity determined using the

common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the period.

**[c]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Annualized operating ROACE is calculated by dividing annualized operating income (loss) for the period by the average common shareholders' equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the period.

**[d]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Operating income (loss) per diluted common share is calculated by dividing operating income (loss) for the period by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

**[e]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses is calculated by dividing the current accident year losses less pre-tax catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of reinsurance, by net premiums earned less reinstatement premiums.

**[f]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and corporate expenses are included in the general and administrative expense ratio.

**[g]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total cash and invested assets represents the total cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturities, equity securities, mortgage loans, other investments, equity method investments, short-term investments, accrued interest receivable and net receivable (payable) for investments sold (purchased).

**AXIS CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED**

**RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

We present our results of operations in a way we believe will be meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements we use are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules and regulations. In this document, we present underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, consolidated underwriting income (loss), current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, operating income (loss) (*in total and on a per share basis*), annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE"), tangible book value per diluted common share which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

*<u>Underwriting-Related General and Administrative Expenses</u>*

Underwriting-related general and administrative expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in the '*Segment Information'* note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our worldwide insurance and reinsurance operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting-related general and administrative expenses to general and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Data'* section of this document.

*<u>Consolidated Underwriting Income (Loss)</u>*

Consolidated underwriting income (loss) is a pre-tax measure of underwriting profitability that takes into account net premiums earned and other insurance related income (loss) as revenues and net losses and loss expenses, acquisition costs and underwriting-related general and administrative expenses as expenses. While this measure is presented in the *'Segment Information'* note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

We evaluate our underwriting results separately from the performance of our investment portfolio. As a result, we believe it is appropriate to exclude net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from our underwriting profitability measure.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities, and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses), and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to our underwriting performance. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Interest expense and financing costs primarily relate to interest payable on our debt and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As these expenses are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these expenses are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and, therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss).

------

![axislogo1a01.jpg](axislogo1a01.jpg)

Reorganization expenses in 2026 primarily related to costs attributable to streamlining our reinsurance operations and costs attributable to transitions in executive leadership. Reorganization expenses in 2024 primarily related to severance costs attributable to our "How We Work" program which is focused on simplifying our operating structure. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

Amortization of intangible assets arose from business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

We believe that the presentation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and consolidated underwriting income (loss) provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations, by highlighting the underlying pre-tax profitability of our underwriting activities. The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Consolidated Statements of Operations'* section of this document.

*<u>Current Accident Year Loss Ratio</u>*

Current accident year loss ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development. We believe that the presentation of current accident year loss ratio provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting net losses and loss expenses associated with our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development. The reconciliation of current accident year loss ratio to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Financial Highlights'* section of this document.

*<u>Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses Ratio</u> <u>and Current Accident Year Loss Ratio, excluding Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses</u>*

Catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio associated with natural catastrophes, man-made disasters, other significant catastrophe events and other weather-related events exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development.

Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development and net losses and loss expenses associated with natural catastrophes, man-made disasters, other significant catastrophe events and other weather-related events.

We believe that the presentation of these ratios that separately identify net losses and loss expenses associated with catastrophe and weather-related events provide investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the occurrence of these events, the potential magnitude of these losses and the complexity that affects our ability to accurately estimate ultimate losses associated with these events.

The reconciliation of catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio and current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Financial Highlights'* section of this document.

*<u>Operating Income (Loss)</u>*

Operating income (loss) represents after-tax operational results exclusive of net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

Although the investment of premiums to generate income and investment gains (losses) is an integral part of our operations, the determination to realize investment gains (losses) is independent of the underwriting process and is heavily influenced by the availability of market opportunities. Furthermore, many users believe that the timing of the realization of investment gains (losses) is somewhat opportunistic for many companies.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities, and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses), and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to the performance of our business. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from operating income (loss).

![axislogo1a01.jpg](axislogo1a01.jpg)

Reorganization expenses in 2026 primarily related to costs attributable to streamlining our reinsurance operations and costs attributable to transitions in executive leadership. Reorganization expenses in 2024 primarily related to severance costs attributable to our "How We Work" program which is focused on simplifying our operating structure. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from operating income (loss).

Interest in income (loss) of equity method investments is primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, this income (loss) is excluded from operating income (loss).

Certain users of our financial statements evaluate performance exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments in order to understand the profitability of recurring sources of income.

We believe that showing net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses and interest in income (loss) of equity method investments reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business. In addition, we believe that this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze performance in a manner similar to how our management analyzes the underlying business performance. We also believe this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, facilitates comparison of our performance with our peer group. We believe that equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow us, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation'* section of this document.

We also present operating income (loss) per diluted common share and annualized operating ROACE, which are derived from the operating income (loss) measure and are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, earnings (loss) per diluted common share and annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE"), respectively, in the *'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation' s*ection of this document.

*<u>Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share</u>*

Tangible book value represents common shareholders' equity exclusive of after-tax goodwill and intangible assets. We present tangible book value per diluted common share calculated under the treasury stock method. We believe that this measure, in combination with book value per diluted common share, is useful in assessing value generated for our common shareholders. A reconciliation of tangible book value per diluted common share to book value per diluted common share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the *'Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share'* section of this document.
