For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our GPW increased primarily driven by growth from new business and improved rates in our Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit and Other Insurance lines of business, partially offset by a decrease in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business where certain deals did not meet our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles.
For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our NPE increased driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current and prior year periods.
Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, increased due to higher variable commissions in certain lines of business and changes in the mix of business written and ceded.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, our loss ratio in the Insurance segment increased by 45.1 points and 15.1 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
The attritional loss ratio in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, improved by 0.1 points and 1.2 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to a lower level of small losses in the current year periods.
The catastrophe and large losses for the three months ended December 31, 2024, were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Milton and Helene in our Property and Marine lines of business and a single loss event in our Property line of business. This compared to the prior period catastrophe and large losses primarily related to losses in connection with the Viasat-3 satellite deployment failure, the Sudan Conflict and other loss events in our Property line of business.
The catastrophe and large losses in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business, losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and severe convective storms in our Property and Marine lines of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business. This compared to prior year period catastrophe and large losses primarily related to the Sudan Conflict, losses in connection with the Viasat-3 satellite deployment failure, losses from severe convective storms in the U.S., two intellectual property losses, and other loss events in various lines of business including Property, Energy, and Marine.
The adverse prior year development for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase relates in large part to an allowance made for ongoing settlement discussions in relation to the related litigation as well as an increase to reserves in order to reflect recent developments and new information received.
The adverse prior year development for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property, Other Insurance and Marine lines of business.

The catastrophe and large losses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and from storms in Alberta, Canada.
The catastrophe and large losses in the three months ended December 31, 2023, related to severe convective storms in the U.S. in our Property Reinsurance line of business.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by positive development on catastrophe losses and benign prior year attritional experience.

Other Underwriting Expenses |
We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment.
The Fidelis Partnership Commissions
The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $62.1 million and $311.1 million, respectively, or 9.8% and 13.8% of the combined ratio, respectively, (2023: $77.9 million and $225.3 million or 15.3% and 12.3% of the combined ratio) and comprise ceding and profit commissions as part of the Framework Agreement effective from January 1, 2023. The increase in the ceding commission expense was due to the full impact of earning such commissions since January 1, 2023, together with the increase in net premiums earned. Due to the operating profit not achieving the required hurdle rate of return, as outlined in the Framework Agreement, there were no profit commissions for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned:

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the general and administrative expense decrease was driven primarily by lower annual incentive plan compensation expense accruals. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the increase was driven primarily by increased costs to support the growth of the business and the transition to a publicly traded company in 2023.

Net Investment Income
The increase in our net investment income in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was due to the increase in investible assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we purchased $778.7 million and $2.3 billion, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.8% and 4.9%, respectively.
Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses)
The net realized and unrealized investment losses in the three months ended December 31, 2024, resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $600.4 million of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 4.2% and from an increase in the provision for expected credit losses. The net realized and unrealized investment losses in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $1.2 billion of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 2.6%, the proceeds of which were reinvested at higher yielding fixed maturity securities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, attritional loss ratio and catastrophe and large loss ratio, and therefore are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.
RPI Measure
This press release, posts on our website and LinkedIn and the related discussion and analysis relating to our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, may contain a reference to the “RPI Measure”. Renewal price index (“RPI”) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording.
Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release, posts on our website and LinkedIn and the related discussion and analysis relating to our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, contain, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make (including on our related earnings conference call), “forward-looking statements” which include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and which may concern our strategy, plans, targets, projections or intentions and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “continue,” “grow,” “opportunity,” “create,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “target,” “expect,” “evolve,” “achieve,” “remain,” “proactive,” “pursue,” “optimize,” “emerge,” “seek,” “build,” “looking ahead,” “commit,” “strategy,” “predict,” “potential,” “assumption,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will” and the negative of these and also similar terms and phrases. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are qualified by these cautionary statements, because they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, targets, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions, but are subject to significant business, economic, legal and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make in relation to: targeted operating results such as return on equity, net earnings and net earnings per share, underwriting profitability and target combined, loss and expense ratios, growth in gross premiums written and book value; our expectations regarding current settlement discussions, court cases and current settlement and litigation strategies; our expectations regarding our business and capital management strategy and the performance of our business; information regarding our estimates for catastrophes, claims and other loss events; our liquidity
and capital resources; and expectations of the effect on our results of operations and financial condition of our loss claims, litigation, climate change impacts, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings.
Our actual results in the future could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of changes in assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors impacting us, many of which are outside our control, including:
•our ability to manage risks associated with macroeconomic conditions including any escalation of the Russia Ukraine Conflict or those in the Middle East, or related sanctions and other geopolitical events globally;
•the recent trend of premium rate hardening and factors likely to drive continued rate hardening or a softening leading to a cyclical downturn of pricing in the (re)insurance industry;
•the impact of inflation (including social inflation) or deflation in relevant economies in which we operate;
•our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics and respond accordingly;
•the failure of our risk management policies and procedures to be adequate to identify, monitor and manage risks, which may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks;
•any litigation to which we are party being resolved unfavorably to our prior expectations, whether through court decisions or otherwise through effecting settlements (where such settlements are capable of being achieved), based on emerging information, the actions of other parties or any other failure to resolve such litigation favorably;
•the inherent unpredictability of litigation and any related settlement negotiations which may or may not lead to an agreed settlement of particular matters;
•the outcomes of probabilistic models which are based on historical assumptions and which can differ from actual results or other emerging information as compared to such assumptions;
•the less developed data and parameter inputs for industry catastrophe models for perils such as wildfires and flood;
•the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe catastrophic events;
•the possibility of greater frequency or severity of claims and loss activity than our underwriting, reserving or investment practices have anticipated;
•the development and pattern of earned and written premiums impacting embedded premium value;
•the reliability of pricing, accumulation and estimated loss models;
•the impact of complex causation and coverage issues associated with attribution of losses;
•the actual development of losses and expenses impacting estimates for claims which arose as a result of loss activity, particularly for events where estimates are preliminary until the development of such reserves based on emerging information over time;
•our ability to successfully implement our long-term strategy and compete successfully with more established competitors and increased competition relating to consolidation in the reinsurance and insurance industries;
•any downgrades, potential downgrades or other negative actions by rating agencies relating to us or our industry;
•changes to our strategic relationship with The Fidelis Partnership and our dependence on the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements for our underwriting and claims-handling operations;
•our dependence on key executives and ability to attract qualified personnel;
•our dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms;
•our potential inability to pay dividends or distributions in accordance with our current dividend policy, due to changing conditions;
•availability of outwards reinsurance on commercially acceptable terms;
•the recovery of losses and reinstatement premiums from our reinsurance providers;
•our potential need for additional capital in the future and the potential unavailability of such capital to us on favorable terms or at all;
•our dependence on clients’ evaluation of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting;
•the suspension or revocation of our subsidiaries’ insurance licenses;
•our potentially being subject to certain adverse tax or regulatory consequences in the U.S., U.K. or Bermuda;
•risks associated with our investment strategy such as market risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit default risk;
•the impact of tax reform and changes in the regulatory environment and the potential for greater regulatory scrutiny of the Group as a result of the outsourcing arrangements;
•heightened risk of cybersecurity incidents and their potential impact on our business;
•operational failures, including the operational risk associated with outsourcing to The Fidelis Partnership, failure of information systems or failure to protect the confidentiality of customer information, including by service providers, or losses due to defaults, errors or omissions by third parties and affiliates;
•risks relating to our ability to identify and execute opportunities for growth or our ability to complete transactions as planned or realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or other investments; and
•those risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed under the section titled ‘Risk Factors’ in Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024 (which such section is incorporated herein by reference) (the “2023 Annual Report”), its Form 6-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025, as well as subsequent Annual and Current Report filings with the SEC available electronically at www.sec.gov.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements included herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to therein. Any forward-looking statements, expectations, beliefs and projections made by us in this release and on our related conference call speak only as of the date referenced on such date on which they are made and are expressed in good faith and our management believes that there is reasonable basis for them, based only on information currently available to us. There can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, our past performance, and that of our management team and of The Fidelis Partnership, should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any event described in a forward-looking statement might not occur.

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED)
Attritional loss ratio and catastrophe and large loss ratio: the attritional loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure of the loss ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe and large losses. Management believes that the attritional loss ratio is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it excludes losses that are not as predictable as to timing and amount. The attritional loss ratio is calculated by dividing the losses and loss adjustment expenses, excluding catastrophe and large losses and prior year development, by NPE. The catastrophe and large loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing the current year catastrophe and large loss expense by NPE. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is included in each segment’s summary of losses and loss adjustment expenses table.
Operating net income: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income available to common shareholders excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax effect on these items.
Return on average common equity (“ROAE”): represents net income available to common shareholders divided by average common shareholders’ equity.
Operating return on opening common equity (“Operating ROE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders’ equity.
Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders’ equity.
Operating earnings per share (“Operating EPS”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of Fidelis Insurance Group’s financial information to more easily analyze Fidelis Insurance Group’s results in a manner similar to how management analyzes Fidelis Insurance Group’s underlying business performance. It is calculated by dividing operating net income by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

Investor Presentation December 31, 2024
fidelisinsurance.com This presentation, the related press release, posts on our website and LinkedIn and the related discussion and analysis relating to our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 contain, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make (including on our related earnings conference call), “forward-looking statements” which include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and which may concern our strategy, plans, targets, projections or intentions and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “continue,” “grow,” “opportunity,” “create,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “target,” “expect,” “evolve,” “achieve,” “remain,” “proactive,” “pursue,” “optimize,” “emerge,” “seek,” “build,” “looking ahead,” “commit,” “strategy,” “predict,” “potential,” “assumption,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will” and the negative of these and also similar terms and phrases. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are qualified by these cautionary statements, because they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, targets, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions, but are subject to significant business, economic, legal and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make in relation to: targeted operating results such as return on equity, net earnings and net earnings per share, underwriting profitability and target combined, loss and expense ratios, growth in gross written premiums and book value; our expectations regarding current settlement discussions, court cases and current settlement and litigation strategies; our expectations regarding our business and capital management strategy and the performance of our business; information regarding our estimates for catastrophes, claims and other loss events; our liquidity and capital resources; and expectations of the effect on our results of operations and financial condition of our loss claims, litigation, climate change impacts, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings. Our actual results in the future could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of changes in assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors impacting us, many of which are outside our control, including: our ability to manage risks associated with macroeconomic conditions including any escalation of the Russia Ukraine Conflict or those in the Middle East, or related sanctions and other geopolitical events globally; the recent trend of premium rate hardening and factors likely to drive continued rate hardening or a softening leading to a cyclical downturn of pricing in the (re)insurance industry; the impact of inflation (including social inflation) or deflation in relevant economies in which we operate; our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics and respond accordingly; the failure of our risk management policies and procedures to be adequate to identify, monitor and manage risks, which may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks; any litigation to which we are party being resolved unfavorably to our prior expectations, whether through court decisions or otherwise through effecting settlements (where such settlements are capable of being achieved), based on emerging information, the actions of other parties or any other failure to resolve such litigation favorably; the inherent unpredictability of litigation and any related settlement negotiations which may or may not lead to an agreed settlement of particular matters; the outcomes of probabilistic models which are based on historical assumptions and which can differ from actual results or other emerging information as compared to such assumptions; the less developed data and parameter inputs for industry catastrophe models for perils such as wildfires and flood; the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe catastrophic events; the possibility of greater frequency or severity of claims and loss activity than our underwriting, reserving or investment practices have anticipated; the development and pattern of earned and written premiums impacting embedded premium value; the reliability of pricing, accumulation and estimated loss models; the impact of complex causation and coverage issues associated with attribution of losses; the actual development of losses and expenses impacting estimates for claims which arose as a result of loss activity, particularly for events where estimates are preliminary until the development of such reserves based on emerging information over time; our ability to successfully implement our long-term strategy and compete successfully with more established competitors and increased competition relating to consolidation in the reinsurance and insurance industries; any downgrades, potential downgrades or other negative actions by rating agencies relating to us or our industry; changes to our strategic relationship with The Fidelis Partnership and our dependence on the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements for our underwriting and claims-handling operations; our dependence on key executives and ability to attract qualified personnel; our dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms; our potential inability to pay dividends or distributions in accordance with our current dividend policy, due to changing conditions; availability of outwards reinsurance on commercially acceptable terms; the recovery of losses and reinstatement premiums from our reinsurance providers; our potential need for additional capital in the future and the potential unavailability of such capital to us on favorable terms or at all; our dependence on clients’ evaluation of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting; the suspension or revocation of our subsidiaries’ insurance licenses; our potentially being subject to certain adverse tax or regulatory consequences in the U.S., U.K. or Bermuda; risks associated with our investment strategy such as market risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit default risk; the impact of tax reform and changes in the regulatory environment and the potential for greater regulatory scrutiny of the Group as a result of the outsourcing arrangements; heightened risk of cybersecurity incidents and their potential impact on our business; operational failures, including the operational risk associated with outsourcing to The Fidelis Partnership, failure of information systems or failure to protect the confidentiality of customer information, including by service providers, or losses due to defaults, errors or omissions by third parties and affiliates; risks relating to our ability to identify and execute opportunities for growth or our ability to complete transactions as planned or realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or other investments; and those risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed under the section titled ‘Risk Factors’ in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024, our Form 6-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025, as well as subsequent Annual and Current Reports filed with the SEC available electronically at www.sec.gov. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements included herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to therein. Any forward-looking statements, expectations, beliefs and projections made by us herein and on our related conference call speak only as of the date referenced on such date on which they are made and are expressed in good faith and our management believes that there is reasonable basis for them, based only on information currently available to us. There can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, our past performance, and that of our management team and of The Fidelis Partnership, should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any event described in a forward-looking statement might not occur. Basis of Presentation Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 2
fidelisinsurance.com Basis of Presentation Business Descriptions Insurance Segment The Insurance segment comprises a portfolio of specialty risks. In addition to major specialty lines of business, this segment includes highly tailored products, where the buying motivation is often driven by regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency or transaction facilitation. The Insurance segment benefits from quota share, aggregate, stop loss and excess of loss retrocessional cover and industry loss warranties, which help to reduce volatility. Our Insurance segment provides us with access to capital-efficient business and facilitates diversification of our exposures. The following are the lines of business in our Insurance segment: Property: provides cover for all risks of direct physical loss or damage, business interruption and natural catastrophe perils. The portfolio covers a wide range of occupancies from real estate portfolios, municipalities, infrastructure, schools, commercial and manufacturing accounts and construction risks. We write a mix of global, North American and individual international territory risks. Marine: provides cover for a range of exposures on a global basis including marine hull, marine cargo, construction and marine war. Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit: includes asset-backed nonpayment, economically linked risk (e-cat), mortgage indemnity, structured credit, and surety. Drivers for specific risk transfer for these products are often different from traditional insurance procurement and include regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency and transaction facilitation. Aviation and Aerospace: provides a range of cover for owners and financiers of aircraft including airline hull and liability ‘all-risks’, contingent aviation, AV52 war liability and hull war as well as product liability for the world’s leading manufacturers. We also cover pre- launch, transit and launch risk for satellite manufacturers and operators in our Aerospace book. Energy: provides cover for a range of exposures across the energy spectrum, this includes construction and operational renewable energy projects globally, operational downstream energy/power & utilities, and construction and operational upstream energy. Political Risk Violence & Terror: provides insurance products for clients such as banks, commodity traders, corporations and multilateral and export credit agencies through political risk and contract frustration/non-payment coverages and both damage and non-damage cover from perils including terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, riots, civil commotion and sabotage through political violence and terror covers. Cyber: products reimburse damages and financial losses arising from accidental or malicious incidents affecting a business’s computer networks, software and data, both on a first and third party basis, we write a diverse mix of business SME to Large Corporate, across a number of geographies predominantly on a reinsurance basis. Other Insurance: includes contingency providing coverage for event cancellation, non appearance and other contingencies, title insurance, warranty insurance and other specialty risks. Reinsurance Segment Our Reinsurance segment consists of an actively managed, property reinsurance book, providing reinsurance and a limited amount of retrocession coverage worldwide on a proportional or excess of loss basis. The portfolio is global, with a significant concentration in North America. Additionally, it includes smaller exposures in other regions around the world, particularly in Japan, Europe, and Australasia. The Reinsurance segment benefits from quota share, aggregate, stop loss and excess of loss retrocessional cover, catastrophe bond cover and industry loss warranties, which helps to minimize the potential net losses in the business written. We believe our strategy of pursuing closely controlled aggregates and focusing on residential portfolios in the Reinsurance segment helps keep volatility lower than a typical catastrophe book. Renewal Price Index Measure Renewal price index (RPI) is a measure that Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited (“Fidelis Insurance Group”, “Fidelis”, “FIHL”, or the “Company”)has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management’s calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis’ portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording. 3

fidelisinsurance.com Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) including operating net income, operating EPS, operating return on average common equity, and therefore are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G. Operating Net Income Operating net income is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income available to common shareholders excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax effect on these items. Return on Average Common Equity (ROAE) Return on average common equity (“ROAE”) represents net income divided by average common shareholders’ equity. Operating Return on Opening Common Equity (Operating ROE) Operating return on opening common equity (“Operating ROE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders’ equity. Operating Return on Average Common Equity (Operating ROAE) Operating return on average common equity (“Operating ROAE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. Operating Earnings Per Share (Operating EPS) Operating net income per diluted share (“Operating EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Group’s results in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Group’s underlying business performance. Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating net income by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. 20
