Our performance in 2025 is another important proof point for the company.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Summary

Consolidated underwriting income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $67.1 million compared to $32.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by decreased catastrophe losses, slightly offset by decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development.

Consolidated underwriting income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $302.8 million compared to $276.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by premium growth combined with an improvement in attritional loss ratio, partially offset by decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development and increased catastrophe losses.

Reportable Segments

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations, which consist of two reportable segments - Insurance & Services and Reinsurance. Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, constitute our “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliations in “Segment Reporting”. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Core Premium Volume

Gross written premium increased by $134.4 million, or 17.6%, to $896.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $762.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net earned premium increased by $95.0 million, or 16.3%, to $676.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $581.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increases in premium volume were primarily driven by our Insurance & Services segment, including expansion of Surety within our Other Specialties business line, growth across A&H, as well as continued strategic organic and new program growth in our international P&C business.

Core Underwriting Results

Core results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 included income of $52.8 million compared to $66.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 consists of underwriting income of $48.6 million (92.9% combined ratio) and net services income of $4.2 million, compared to underwriting income of $56.3 million (90.2% combined ratio) and net services income of $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net underwriting results was primarily driven by decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development and true-up of acquisition costs, partially offset by decreased catastrophe losses. The decrease in net service income was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of ArmadaCorp Capital, LLC (“Armada”) partially offset by higher fee income from International Medical Group, Inc. (“IMG”). Effective November 1, 2025, we deconsolidated Armada upon its sale to Ambac Financial Group Inc. We will continue our capacity partnership with Armada until the end of 2030.

Losses incurred included $15.0 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily driven by favorable development in A&H, due to lower than expected reported attritional losses, and Property, compared to $58.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 driven by reserve releases relating to prior year's catastrophe events mainly in Property and Other Specialties. Catastrophe losses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $7.0 million, or 1.0 percentage point on the combined ratio, compared to $38.6 million, or 6.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Favorable prior year loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $72.2 million primarily driven by favorable development in Property, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year's catastrophe events, as well as favorable development in A&H, due to lower than expected reported losses, compared to $100.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 mainly in Property and Other Specialties from reserve releases relating to prior year's catastrophe events.

Year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Fourth Quarter 2025 Subsequent Events

Sale of Arcadian

On October 3, 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell our 49% equity stake in Arcadian to Lee Equity Partners for total consideration of $140.4 million, inclusive of a pre-close dividend, which closed on January 30, 2026. We also renewed and extended our capacity agreement with Arcadian until the end of 2031. In the first quarter of 2026, we will recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $25.0 million.

Acquisition of Assist America

On December 31, 2025, we, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into an agreement to acquire Assist America, a leading provider of global emergency travel assistance services. Assist America primarily sells its services to insurance companies as part of their corporate benefit plan products. It provides reliable global emergency assistance to over 40 million members across Asia, the Middle East and North America. The acquisition will significantly bolster our third-party medical and travel assistance revenue, increase scale in the U.S., and expand our coverage to Asia and the Middle East.

The total deal consideration is estimated as $42.5 million, which comprises cash and other contingent value components, and the estimated identifiable net assets acquired were $22.8 million. Pursuant to the agreement, our control of Assist America is effective as of January 1, 2026. As such, we will consolidate Assist America in our consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of 2026.

Redemption of Series B Preference Shares

On January 29, 2026, we announced that we will redeem all 8,000,000 of our issued and outstanding 8.0% Series B preference shares on February 26, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price payable on the Redemption Date is $25.00 per share, plus $0.49, which reflects unpaid, accrued cumulative dividends, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, without interest (the “Redemption Price”). Following the redemption, no Series B preference shares will remain outstanding and all rights with respect to such Series B preference shares will cease and terminate, except for the right to receive the Redemption Price. Upon completion of the redemption, we intend to delist the Series B preference shares from the New York Stock Exchange and deregister the Series B preference shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The redemption will help to simplify and optimize our capital structure, while also eliminating the cost of capital and related cash servicing associated with the Series B preference shares. After the redemption, our capital position will remain at or above operating target levels and we expect our leverage ratio1 to be 23%.

Acquisition of World Nomads

On February 12, 2026, Sirius International UK Holdings II Ltd (“SIUK II”), a subsidiary of our Company, entered into a purchase agreement with nib Travel Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary limited company (“nib”), in which SIUK II or its subsidiaries will purchase equity interests and assets comprising the World Nomads travel insurance business currently operated by nib (collectively, “World Nomads”). An initial closing on the majority of the World Nomads business is expected to occur in the second or third quarter of 2026, and a final closing is expected to occur in the second half of 2027, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
