ARCH CAPITAL GROUP LTD. REPORTS 2023 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
PEMBROKE, BERMUDA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACGL; “Arch,” “our” or “the Company”) announces its 2023 fourth quarter results. The results included:
•Net income available to Arch common shareholders of $2.3 billion, or $6.12 per share, representing a 58.2% annualized net income return on average common equity, compared to net income available to Arch common shareholders of $849 million, or $2.26 per share, for the 2022 fourth quarter.
•Fourth quarter results were impacted by the establishment of a net deferred tax asset of $1.18 billion, or $3.10 per share, related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax.
•After-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders(1) of $945 million, or $2.49 per share, representing a 23.7% annualized operating return on average common equity(1), compared to $806 million, or $2.14 per share, for the 2022 fourth quarter.
•Pre-tax current accident year catastrophic losses for the Company’s insurance and reinsurance segments, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums(1), of $137 million.
•Favorable development in prior year loss reserves, net of related adjustments(1), of $135 million.

The following section provides analysis on the Company’s 2023 fourth quarter performance by operating segment.

The Company’s segment information includes the use of underwriting income (loss) and a combined ratio excluding catastrophic activity and prior year development. Such items are non-GAAP financial measures (see ‘Comments on Regulation G’ for further details).

| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Gross premiums written by the insurance segment in the 2023 fourth quarter were 17.6% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter, while net premiums written were 19.1% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter. Growth in net premiums written reflected increases in most lines of business, due in part to new business opportunities, increases in existing accounts and rate changes. In addition, the insurance segment retained a higher portion of business written in the 2023 fourth quarter than in the 2022 fourth quarter. Net premiums earned in the 2023 fourth quarter were 16.5% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters.
The 2023 fourth quarter loss ratio reflected 3.8 points of current year catastrophic activity, spread across a series of global events, compared to 2.8 points of catastrophic activity in the 2022 fourth quarter. Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 0.6 points in the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to 0.5 points in the 2022 fourth quarter. The improvement in the 2023 fourth quarter loss ratio also reflected the impact of rate increases and changes in mix of business.
The underwriting expense ratio was 34.7% in the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to 33.4% in the 2022 fourth quarter, with the increase primarily related to higher incentive compensation costs.

Net (favorable) adverse development in prior year loss reserves, net of related adjustments | (1.3) | % | | (4.5) | % | | 3.2 | |
Combined ratio excluding catastrophic activity and prior year development | 76.2 | % | | 82.9 | % | | (6.7) | |
| | | | | |
Gross premiums written by the reinsurance segment in the 2023 fourth quarter were 9.7% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter, while net premiums written were 0.9% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter. The comparison of gross and net premiums written were affected by a few non-recurring transactions in the 2022 fourth quarter, primarily impacting the other specialty line of business. Absent these items, gross and net premiums written would have been higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter by 23.1% and 25.6%, respectively. The growth in net premiums written primarily reflected increases in property excluding property catastrophe and other specialty lines, due in part to rate increases, new business opportunities and growth in existing accounts. Net premiums earned in the 2023 fourth quarter were 32.2% higher than in the 2022 fourth quarter, and reflect changes in net premiums written over the previous five quarters.
The 2023 fourth quarter loss ratio reflected 5.4 points of current year catastrophic activity, spread across a series of global events, compared to minimal catastrophic activity in the 2022 fourth quarter. Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, reduced the loss ratio by 1.6 points in the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to 5.2 points in the 2022 fourth quarter. The improvement in the 2023 fourth quarter loss ratio also reflected the impact of rate increases and changes in mix of business.
The underwriting expense ratio was 27.7% in the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to 25.5% in the 2022 fourth quarter, with the increase primarily related to the non-recurring transactions in the 2022 fourth quarter noted above and a higher level of incentive compensation costs in the 2023 fourth quarter.
Mortgage Segment

| Three Months Ended December 31, |
(U.S. Dollars in millions) | 2023 | | 2022 | | % Change |
| | | | | |

Net premiums written | 255 | | | 275 | | | (7.3) | |

Loss ratio | (20.6) | % | | (46.9) | % | | 26.3 | |
Underwriting expense ratio | 17.3 | % | | 19.8 | % | | (2.5) | |
Combined ratio | (3.3) | % | | (27.1) | % | | 23.8 | |
| | | | | |
Prior year development: | | | | | |
Net (favorable) adverse development in prior year loss reserves, net of related adjustments | (39.0) | % | | (72.1) | % | | 33.1 | |
Combined ratio excluding prior year development | 35.7 | % | | 45.0 | % | | (9.3) | |
Gross premiums written by the mortgage segment in the 2023 fourth quarter were 1.7% lower than in the 2022 fourth quarter, while net premiums written were 7.3% lower. The reduction in net premiums written in the 2023 fourth quarter primarily reflected a higher level of premiums ceded, with $17 million of one-time payments related to the termination of eight Bellemeade agreements. Net premiums earned in the 2023 fourth quarter were 5.8% lower than in the 2022 fourth quarter, primarily due to termination of the Bellemeade agreements.
Estimated net favorable development of prior year loss reserves, before related adjustments, decreased the loss ratio by 36.6 points, primarily related to the 2022 accident year from the U.S. first lien portfolio and to a lesser extent the 2020 and 2021 accident years, compared to 71.1 points in the 2022 fourth quarter. Such amounts were primarily related to better than expected cure rates. The 2023 fourth quarter loss ratio, excluding net favorable development, was down compared to the 2022 fourth quarter, reflecting lower estimated claim rates partially offset by slightly higher new delinquencies.
The underwriting expense ratio was 17.3% in the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to 19.8% in the 2022 fourth quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher level of ceding and profit commissions on ceded U.S. primary business.
Corporate Segment
The corporate segment results include net investment income, net realized gains or losses (which includes realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of equity securities and assets accounted for using the fair value option, realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, other income (loss), corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, net foreign exchange gains or losses, income tax items (which for the 2023 fourth quarter reflects the establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax), income or loss from operating affiliates and items related to the Company’s non-cumulative preferred shares.

(2) Presentation represents a “non-GAAP” financial measure as defined in Regulation G. See ‘Comments on Regulation G’ for further details.
The growth in net investment income in the 2023 fourth quarter primarily reflected the effects of higher interest rates available in the market, along with growth in invested assets due in part to strong operating cash flows. Net realized gains were $189 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, compared to net realized gains of $80 million in the 2022 fourth quarter, and reflected sales of investments as well as the impact of financial market movements on the Company’s derivatives, equity securities and investments accounted for under the fair value option method.
On a pre-tax basis, net foreign exchange losses for the 2023 fourth quarter were $59 million, compared to net foreign exchange losses of $81 million for the 2022 fourth quarter. For both periods, such amounts were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing the Company’s net insurance liabilities required to be settled in foreign currencies at each balance sheet date. Changes in the value of available-for-sale investments held in foreign currencies due to foreign currency rate movements are reflected as a direct increase or decrease to shareholders’ equity and are not included in the consolidated statements of income.
On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, which will apply a 15% corporate income tax to certain Bermuda businesses in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The act includes a provision referred to as the economic transition adjustment, which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime. Pursuant to this legislation, the Company recorded a $1.18 billion net deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter of 2023, expected to be utilized predominantly over a 10-year period. The Company expects to incur and pay increased taxes in Bermuda beginning in 2025.
The Company’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was a benefit of 85.6% for the 2023 fourth quarter and a benefit of 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to an expense of 6.6% for the 2022 fourth quarter and an expense of 5.1% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes included the one-time deferred tax benefit mentioned above. The Company’s effective tax rate on pre-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders was 7.3% for the 2023 fourth quarter and 8.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 7.5% for the 2022 fourth quarter and 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The effective tax rate may fluctuate from period to period based upon the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction, the level of catastrophic loss activity incurred, and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction.
Income from operating affiliates for the 2023 fourth quarter was $69 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $36 million, or $0.10 per share, for the 2022 fourth quarter, and primarily reflects amounts related to the Company’s investment in Somers Group Holdings Ltd. and Coface SA.
The Company will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on February 15, 2024. A live webcast of this call will be available via the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://www.archgroup.com/investors. A recording of the webcast will be available in the Investors section of the Company’s website approximately two hours after the event concludes and will be archived on the site for one year.
Please refer to the Company’s Financial Supplement dated December 31, 2023, which is available via the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://www.archgroup.com/investors. The Financial Supplement provides additional detail regarding the financial performance of the Company. From time to time, the Company posts additional financial information and presentations to its website, including information with respect to its subsidiaries. Investors and other recipients of this information are encouraged to check the Company’s website regularly for additional information regarding the Company.
Arch Capital Group Ltd., is a publicly listed Bermuda exempted company with approximately $21.1 billion in capital at December 31, 2023. Arch, which is part of the S&P 500 index, provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Throughout this release, the Company presents its operations in the way it believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use the Company’s financial information in evaluating the performance of the Company and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.
This presentation includes the use of “after-tax operating income or loss available to Arch common shareholders,” which is defined as net income available to Arch common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses (which includes changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other, net of income taxes (which for the 2023 fourth quarter reflects the establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax), and the use of annualized operating return on average common equity. The presentation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized operating return on average common equity are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to net income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized net income return on average common equity (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures) in accordance with Regulation G is included on page 2 of this release.
The Company believes that net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses and transaction costs and other, in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance. Although net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses are an integral part of the Company’s operations, the decision to realize these items are independent of the insurance underwriting process and result, in large part, from general economic and financial market conditions. Furthermore, certain users of the Company’s financial information believe that, for many companies, the timing of the realization of investment gains or losses is largely opportunistic. In addition, changes in the allowance for credit losses and net impairment losses recognized in earnings on the Company’s investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization.
The use of the equity method on certain of the Company’s investments in certain funds that invest in fixed maturity securities is driven by the ownership structure of such funds (either limited partnerships or limited liability companies). In applying the equity method, these investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the fair value of the underlying securities in the funds). This method of accounting is different from the way the Company accounts for its other fixed maturity securities and the timing of the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method may differ from gains or losses in the future upon sale or maturity of such investments.
Transaction costs and other include advisory, financing, legal, severance, incentive compensation and other costs related to acquisitions. The Company believes that transaction costs and other, due to their non-recurring nature, are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance.
In the 2023 fourth quarter, the Company established a net deferred tax benefit of $1.18 billion consistent with the transition provisions specified in the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023. Due to the non-recurring nature of this one-time item, the Company believes that excluding this item from after-tax operating income or loss available to common shareholders provides the user with a better evaluation of the Company’s ongoing business performance.
The Company believes that showing net income available to Arch common shareholders exclusive of the items referred to above reflects the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s business since the Company evaluates the performance of and manages its business to produce an underwriting profit. In addition to presenting net income available to Arch common shareholders, the Company believes that this presentation enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze the Company’s performance in a manner similar to how the Company’s management analyzes performance. The Company also believes that this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, allows the users of the Company’s financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group. The Company believes that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow the Company and the insurance industry as a whole generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons.
The Company’s segment information includes the presentation of consolidated underwriting income or loss and a subtotal of underwriting income or loss. Such measures represent the pre-tax profitability of its underwriting operations and include net premiums earned plus other underwriting income, less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition expenses and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include those operating expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to the Company’s individual underwriting operations. Underwriting income or loss does not incorporate items included in the Company’s corporate segment. While these measures are presented in the Segment Information footnote to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis. The reconciliations of underwriting income or loss to income before income taxes (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a consolidated basis, in accordance with Regulation G, is shown on the following pages.
Management measures segment performance for its three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. The Company does not manage its assets by underwriting segment and, accordingly, investment income, income from operating affiliates and other corporate segment related items are not allocated to each underwriting segment.
In addition, the Company’s segment information includes the use of a combined ratio excluding catastrophic activity and prior year development, for the insurance and reinsurance segments, and a combined ratio excluding prior year development, for the mortgage segment. These ratios are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to the combined ratio (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in accordance with Regulation G are shown on the individual segment pages. The Company’s management utilizes the adjusted combined ratios excluding current accident year catastrophic events and favorable or adverse development in prior year loss reserves in its analysis of the underwriting performance of each of its underwriting segments.
Total return on investments includes investment income, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net realized gains and losses (excluding changes in the allowance for credit losses on non-investment related financial assets) and the change in unrealized gains and losses generated by Arch’s investment portfolio. Total return is calculated on a pre-tax basis and before investment expenses and reflects the effect of financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. Management uses total return on investments as a key measure of the return generated to Arch common shareholders, and compares the return generated by the Company’s investment portfolio against benchmark returns during the periods presented.
The following tables summarize the Company’s results by segment for the 2023 fourth quarter and 2022 fourth quarter and a reconciliation of underwriting income or loss to income or loss before income taxes and net income or loss available to Arch common shareholders:

Arch Capital Group Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Segment Information — Overview
The Company’s Insurance, Reinsurance and Mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the President and Chief Underwriting Officer. The chief operating decision makers do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. Management measures segment performance for its three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. The Company does not manage its assets by underwriting segment and, accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment.
The Company determined its reportable operating segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results.
Insurance Segment
The insurance segment consists of the Company’s insurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include:
• Construction and national accounts: primary and excess casualty coverages for middle market and large construction accounts, a comprehensive range of products for middle market accounts in specialty industries and casualty solutions for large national accounts, including loss sensitive primary insurance programs (large deductible, self-insured retention and retrospectively rated programs).
• Excess and surplus casualty: primary and excess casualty insurance coverages written on a non-admitted basis.
• Professional lines: directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, crime, professional indemnity and other financial related coverages for corporate, private equity, venture capital, real estate investment trust, limited partnership, financial institution and not-for-profit clients of all sizes, cyber insurance, and medical professional and general liability insurance coverages for the healthcare industry. The business is predominately written on a claims-made basis.
• Programs: primarily targeting program managers with unique expertise and niche products offering some combination of general liability, commercial automobile, property, inland marine, umbrella and workers’ compensation.
• Property, energy, marine and aviation: primary and excess general property insurance coverages, including catastrophe-exposed property coverage, for commercial clients. Coverages for marine include hull, cargo, war, specie and liability. Aviation, standalone terrorism and political risks are also offered. Coverage may be provided for operational and construction risk.
• Travel, accident and health: specialty travel and accident and related insurance products for individual, group travelers, travel agents and suppliers, as well as accident and health, which provides accident, disability and medical plan insurance coverages for employer groups, medical plan members, students and other participant groups.
•Warranty and lenders solutions: collateral protection, debt cancellation and service contract reimbursement products to banks, credit unions, automotive dealerships and original equipment manufacturers and other specialty programs that pertain to automotive lending and leasing.
• Other: includes alternative market risks (including captive insurance programs), excess workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance coverages for qualified self-insured groups, associations and trusts, and contract, commercial and transactional surety coverages.
Reinsurance Segment
The reinsurance segment consists of the Company’s reinsurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Reinsurance agreements are typically offered on a proportional and/or excess of loss basis and provide coverage to ceding company clients for specific underlying written policies. Product lines include:
•Casualty: provides coverage on third party liability exposures including, among others, executive assurance, professional liability, excess and umbrella liability, excess motor and healthcare business, and workers’ compensation. Business is assumed primarily on a treaty basis, with some facultative coverages also offered.
•Marine and aviation: provides coverage for energy, hull, cargo, specie, liability and transit, and aviation business, including airline and general aviation risks. Business written may also include space business, which includes coverages for satellite assembly, launch and operation for commercial space programs.
•Other specialty: provides coverage for proportional motor reinsurance, whole account multi-line treaties, cyber, trade credit and surety, accident and health, workers’ compensation catastrophe, agriculture and political risk, among others.
•Property catastrophe: provides protection for most types of catastrophic losses, including hurricane, earthquake, flood, tornado, hail and fire, and for other perils on a case-by-case basis. Excess of loss coverages are triggered when aggregate losses and loss adjustment expense from a single occurrence of a covered peril exceed the retention specified in the contract.
•Property excluding property catastrophe: provides coverage for personal lines and/or commercial property exposures and principally covers buildings, structures, equipment and contents. The primary perils in this business include fire, explosion, collapse, riot, vandalism, wind, tornado, flood and earthquake. Business is assumed on either a treaty or facultative basis.
•Other: primarily includes life reinsurance business.
Mortgage Segment
The mortgage segment includes the Company’s underwriting units which offer mortgage insurance and reinsurance products on a worldwide basis. Underwriting units include:
•U.S. primary mortgage insurance: offers private mortgage insurance through Arch Mortgage Insurance Company and United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (combined “Arch MI U.S.”), both approved eligible mortgage insurers by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Arch MI U.S. also includes Arch Mortgage Guaranty Company, which is not a government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) approved entity.
•U.S. credit risk transfer (“CRT”) and other: underwrites CRT transactions, which are predominantly with GSEs, and other U.S. reinsurance transactions.
•International mortgage insurance/reinsurance: underwrites mortgage insurance and reinsurance outside of the U.S.
Corporate Segment
The corporate segment results include net investment income, net realized gains or losses (which includes realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of equity securities and assets accounted for using the fair value option, realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, other income (loss), corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, net foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes items (which for the 2023 fourth quarter reflects the establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax), income or loss from operating affiliates and items related to the Company’s non cumulative preferred shares.

Comments on Regulation G
Throughout this financial supplement, the Company presents its operations in the way it believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use the Company’s financial information in evaluating the performance of the Company. This presentation includes the use of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders, which is defined as net income available to Arch common shareholders, excluding net realized gains or losses (which includes changes in the allowance for credit losses on financial assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings), equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses, transaction costs and other, net of income taxes (which for the 2023 fourth quarter includes a one-time deferred tax benefit related to the enactment of Bermuda’s new corporate income tax), and the use of annualized operating return on average common equity. The presentation of after-tax operating income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized operating return on average common equity are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to net income available to Arch common shareholders and annualized net income return on average common equity (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures) in accordance with Regulation G is included on the following page.
The Company believes that net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses and transaction costs and other, in any particular period are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business. Although net realized gains or losses, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method and net foreign exchange gains or losses are an integral part of the Company’s operations, the decision to realize these items are independent of the insurance underwriting process and result, in large part, from general economic and financial market conditions. Furthermore, certain users of the Company’s financial information believe that, for many companies, the timing of the realization of investment gains or losses is largely opportunistic. In addition, changes in the allowance for credit losses and net impairment losses recognized in earnings on the Company’s investments represent other-than-temporary declines in expected recovery values on securities without actual realization.
The use of the equity method on certain of the Company’s investments in certain funds that invest in fixed maturity securities is driven by the ownership structure of such funds (either limited partnerships or limited liability companies). In applying the equity method, these investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the fair value of the underlying securities in the funds). This method of accounting is different from the way the Company accounts for its other fixed maturity securities and the timing of the recognition of equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method may differ from gains or losses in the future upon sale or maturity of such investments.
Transaction costs and other include advisory, financing, legal, severance, incentive compensation and other transaction costs related to acquisitions. The Company believes that transaction costs and other, due to their non-recurring nature, are not indicative of the performance of, or trends in, the Company’s business performance.
In the 2023 fourth quarter, the Company established a net deferred tax benefit of $1.18 billion consistent with the transition provisions specified in the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023. Due to the non-recurring nature of this one-time item, the Company believes that excluding this item from after-tax operating income or loss available to common shareholders provides the user with a better evaluation of the Company’s ongoing business performance.
The Company believes that showing net income available to Arch common shareholders exclusive of the items referred to above reflects the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s business since the Company evaluates the performance of and manages its business to produce an underwriting profit. In addition to presenting net income available to Arch common shareholders, the Company believes that this presentation enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze the Company’s performance in a manner similar to how the Company’s management analyzes performance. The Company also believes that this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, allows the users of the Company’s financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group. The Company believes that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow the Company and the insurance industry as a whole generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons.
The Company’s segment information includes the presentation of consolidated underwriting income or loss and a subtotal of underwriting income or loss. Such measures represent the pre-tax profitability of the Company’s underwriting operations and include net premiums earned plus other underwriting income, less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition expenses and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include those operating expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to the Company’s individual underwriting operations. Underwriting income or loss does not incorporate items included in the Company’s corporate segment. While these measures are presented in the Segment Information footnote to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis. The reconciliations of underwriting income or loss to income before income taxes (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a consolidated basis, in accordance with Regulation G, is shown on pages 9 to 12.
In addition, the Company’s segment information includes the use of a combined ratio excluding catastrophic activity and prior year development, for the insurance and reinsurance segments, and a combined ratio excluding prior year development, for the mortgage segment. These ratios are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G. The reconciliation of such measures to the combined ratio (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in accordance with Regulation G are shown on the individual segment pages. The Company’s management utilizes the adjusted combined ratios excluding current accident year catastrophic events and favorable or adverse development in prior year loss reserves in its analysis of the underwriting performance of each of its underwriting segments.
Total return on investments includes investment income, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net realized gains and losses (excluding changes in the allowance for credit losses on non-investment related financial assets) and the change in unrealized gains and losses generated by the Company’s investment portfolio. Total return is calculated on a pre-tax basis and before investment expenses, and reflects the effect of financial market conditions along with foreign currency fluctuations. Management uses total return on investments as a key measure of the return generated to Arch common shareholders, and compares the return generated by the Company’s investment portfolio against benchmark returns during the periods presented.
