“It was an active quarter for catastrophes and
COVID-19 continues to impact our world. We remain proactive in our
support of our clients as they face, endure and surmount these
challenges,” said Kip Oberting, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Sirius Group. "We have taken actions over the past ten
months to optimize our portfolio more aggressively than at any
other time over the last decade. The benefits of these actions
began to materialize in the third quarter with lighter catastrophe
losses than Sirius Group would have experienced without such
actions. Looking ahead, the full extent of these optimizations have
yet to materialize. More significantly, market demand for our
capacity is increasing, which is driving terms and conditions to
become much more appropriate than they had been during the past few
years."
Mr. Oberting continued, "Equally important, the
successful completion of our strategic review process preserved
Sirius Group’s franchise. Upon closing of the pending merger,
our underwriting teams are poised to go on offense on behalf of a
larger balance sheet — at just the right time in the market cycle.
We are headed to a sweet spot. Finally.”
- Net (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the third
quarter of 2020 was $(96) million. Basic and diluted earnings per
common share were $(0.83). This compares to net (loss) attributable
to common shareholders of $(3) million and basic and diluted
earnings per common share of $(0.02) and $(0.06), respectively, for
the third quarter of 2019.
(1) Tangible book value per common share is a
non-GAAP financial measure. See accompanying Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
- For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net (loss)
attributable to common shareholders was $(207) million. Basic
earnings per common share was $(1.80) and diluted earnings per
common share was $(1.83). This compares to net income attributable
to common shareholders of $99 million and basic and diluted
earnings per common share of $0.78 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019.
- For the third quarter of 2020, Operating (loss) attributable to
common shareholders(2) was $(101) million compared to Operating
(loss) attributable to common shareholders of $(65) million for the
third quarter of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30,
2020, Operating (loss) attributable to common shareholders was
$(218) million compared to Operating (loss) attributable to common
shareholders of $(66) million for the same period in 2019.
Chief Financial Officer, Ralph Salamone also
commented, “The 115% combined ratio during the quarter was impacted
by catastrophe losses and $39 million in losses related to COVID-19
during the quarter, primarily driven by a resurgence of infections
in the United States. The total return on investments helped to
partially offset the underwriting result.”
Third Quarter and Year to Date 2020
Summary
Underwriting
Sirius Group’s combined ratio was 115% for the
third quarter of 2020 compared to 123% for the third quarter of
2019. The improvement in the combined ratio was mainly driven by
lower catastrophe losses, partially offset by COVID-19 pandemic
losses (11 points), net of reinsurance and additional premiums due.
The third quarter of 2020 included $53 million or 14 points of
catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums,
compared to $109 million or 29 points for the third quarter of
2019.
- Gross written premiums for the third quarter of 2020 were $356
million and decreased 14% compared to the third quarter of 2019
primarily due to COVID-19 and client reaction to Sirius Group's
rating downgrade.
- Results by reportable segment(3) for the third quarter of 2020
include the following:
- Global Reinsurance produced a $(36) million underwriting loss
and a 115% combined ratio. The results included $6 million of
losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. Third quarter catastrophe
losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $53
million, as discussed above. Additionally, third quarter losses
included $14 million from the August Beirut explosion.
- Global A&H produced an $(8) million underwriting (loss),
including net service fee income from Armada and IMG of $5 million,
and a combined ratio of 112%. These results included $31 million of
losses from the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
Sirius Group’s combined ratio was 113% compared to 107% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our underwriting results in
the first nine months of 2020 were significantly impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded $192 million of estimated ultimate
losses (16 loss ratio points) in our underwriting results with $136
million in the Global Reinsurance, $53 million in the Global
A&H, and $3 million in the U.S. Specialty segments. The first
nine months of 2020 included 6 points of catastrophe losses, net of
reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, compared to 11 points for
the same period in 2019. The first nine months of 2020 also
included minimal (less than a point) net unfavorable prior year
loss reserve development compared to 8 points of net unfavorable
prior year loss development for the same period in 2019.
- Gross written premiums for the first nine months of 2020 were
$1,496 million and decreased 2% compared to the first nine months
of 2019 primarily due to COVID-19 and client reaction to Sirius
Group's rating downgrade.
(2) Operating (loss) attributable to common
shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. See accompanying
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.(3) Effective January
1, 2020 Sirius Group implemented an internal reorganization which
changed its reportable segments. Where applicable, all prior
periods presented have been revised to conform to this new
presentation.
- Highlights by reportable segment for the first nine months of
2020 include the following:
- Global Reinsurance produced an $(122) million underwriting
(loss) and a 117% combined ratio driven mainly by $136 million of
losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 losses contributed 19
points to the combined ratio. Year to date catastrophe losses, net
of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $72 million and
primarily related to Hurricane Laura ($29 million), an August
Midwest derecho ($11 million) and California wildfires ($10
million). Additionally, year to date losses included $14 million
from the Beirut explosion. Net unfavorable prior year development
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $15 million
as unfavorable prior year loss reserve development in Other
Property ($22 million), Aviation & Space ($10 million), and
Casualty Reinsurance ($9 million) was partially offset by favorable
prior year loss reserve development in Property Catastrophe Excess
Reinsurance ($23 million). Additionally, losses from weather
derivatives, included in Other revenues, for the first nine months
of 2020 were $(22) million driven mainly by a relatively warm U.S.
and European winter.
- Global A&H produced $8 million of underwriting income,
including net service fee income from Armada and IMG of $17
million, and a combined ratio of 103%. These results included $53
million of losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, there
was $8 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development
and $4 million of drag from the Group’s build out of Armada
Health.
- U.S. Specialty produced a $(7) million underwriting (loss) and
a 116% combined ratio.

- During the third quarter of 2020, the investment portfolio
returned 1.8% in original currencies and 2.2% in U.S. Dollars.
- Total investment results for the third quarter of 2020, which
includes the sum of net investment income, net realized and
unrealized investment gains (losses) in net income, and change in
foreign currency translation on investments recognized through
other comprehensive income, were $74 million, compared to $24
million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $50
million. Included in the third quarter investment results are
foreign exchange gains of $17 million in 2020 compared to foreign
exchange (losses) of $(20) million in 2019.
- For the first nine months of 2020, the investment portfolio
returned 2.3% in original currencies and 2.6% in U.S. Dollars.
- Total investment results for the first nine months of 2020 were
$94 million, compared to $141 million for the first nine months of
2019, a decrease of $47 million. Included in the first nine
months investment results are foreign exchange gains of $20 million
in 2020 compared to foreign exchange (losses) of $(23) million in
2019.
- During the third quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $10
million of various legal, advisory, and other consulting costs
associated with the previously announced Agreement and Plan of
Merger, by and among the Company, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
("TPRE"), and Yoga Merger Sub Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
TPRE. As part of the amount incurred, $2 million is related to
reimbursement of certain expenses of CM Bermuda Limited and CMIG
International Holding Pte. Ltd. pursuant to the Transaction Matters
Letter Agreement entered into on August 6, 2020, among Sirius
Group, TPRE, CM Bermuda Limited and CMIG International Holding Pte.
Ltd.
- Common shareholders’ equity ended the third quarter of 2020 at
$1,459 million compared to $1,640 million at December 31,
2019. The decrease is primarily due to a comprehensive (loss) of
$(202) million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting Sirius Group’s results, management
has included and discussed non-GAAP financial measures: Tangible
book value, Tangible book value per common share and Operating
(loss) attributable to common shareholders. The Company believes
that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and
calculated differently by other companies, better explain and
enhance the understanding of the Company’s results of operations.
However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for
those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’). A
reconciliation of Tangible book value, Tangible book value per
common share and Operating (loss) attributable to common
shareholders, to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in
the attached financial information.

unpredictable catastrophic and casualty events and unexpected
accumulations of attritional losses; increased competition from
existing insurers and reinsurers and from alternative capital

without shareholder approval; the impact of lawsuits initiated by
minority shareholders, including lawsuits claiming that they are
being unfairly oppressed by Sirius Group’s majority shareholder or
lawsuits claiming a right of redemption of the Series B preference
shares; the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to

Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by and among the Company,
TPRE and Yoga Merger Sub Limited dated August 6, 2020 and the terms
and conditions included in a statutory merger agreement
(collectively, the "Transactions"), including, without limitation,
the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals (including
approvals, authorizations and clearance by antitrust authorities

Sirius International Insurance Group,
Ltd.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
Tangible book value and Tangible book
value per common share
Tangible book value and Tangible book value per
common share are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible book value
and Tangible book value per common share are useful to investors
because they measure the realizable value of common shareholder
returns, excluding the impact of goodwill, intangible assets, and
net deferred liability on intangible assets.
Tangible book value is derived by subtracting
Goodwill, Intangible assets and Net deferred tax liability on
intangible assets from book value. Tangible book value per common
share is derived by dividing Tangible book value by the Common
shares outstanding.
The reconciliation to Total common shareholders’
equity and Book value per common share, the most directly
comparable GAAP measures, are presented in the table
below.

Operating (loss) attributable to common
shareholders
The Company uses Operating (loss) attributable
to common shareholders as a measure to evaluate the underlying
fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful
measure of its core performance. Operating (loss) attributable to
common shareholders as used herein differs from net (loss) income
attributable to common shareholders, which the Company believes is
the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net
realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, net
foreign exchange gains (losses) and the associated income tax
expense or benefit. The Company’s management believes that
Operating (loss) attributable to common shareholders is useful to
investors because it is more reflective of the Company’s core
business, as it removes the variability arising from fluctuations
in the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio, equity
investments trading, investments-related derivatives, and net
foreign exchange gains (losses) and the associated income tax
expense or benefit of those fluctuations. The following is a
reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common
shareholders to Operating (loss) attributable to common
shareholders:

represents the income tax expense (benefit) associated with the
adjustment for net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on
