“Conservatism dominates our management philosophy. We shun investment fads and fashions in favor of acquiring relatively few interests in basic financial, industrial and

  • ther enterprises that offer the

potential to deliver long-term value to our investors”

  • Own high-quality underwriting franchises

― Underwrite for profit ― Grow premiums only when market allows for profitable growth ― Consistently maintain appropriately prudent loss reserves

  • Invest for total return when risk/reward is

attractive

  • Acquire quality businesses at reasonable prices

― Provide resources, support and oversight to help them grow revenues, profits and returns

  • Maintain a conservative financial and operating

risk profile

  • Hold significant unrestricted liquidity for

potential opportunities (and downturns)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most direct comparable GAAP measures and related information are provided in our financial supplement and Form 10- K and 10-Q filings, which are available on our website at www.alleghany.com, and below. Adjusted Earnings Before Income Taxes Adjusted earnings before income taxes represents noninsurance revenue and net investment income less other operating expenses and interest expense, and does not include: (i) amortization of intangible assets; (ii) change in the fair value of equity securities; (iii) net realized capital gains; (iv) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; and (v) income taxes. Because adjusted earnings before income taxes excludes income taxes, change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized capital gains, credit losses for available for sale securities and amortization of intangible assets, it provides an indication of economic performance that is not affected by investment activity, levels of effective tax rates or levels of amortization resulting from acquisition accounting. Alleghany uses adjusted earnings before income taxes as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of certain of its noninsurance operating subsidiaries and investments. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to earnings before income taxes is presented on page 29 of the Financial Supplement. Underwriting Profit Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and LAE and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, and does not include net investment income, change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized capital gains, credit losses for available for sale securities, noninsurance revenue, other operating expenses, corporate administration, amortization of intangible assets and interest expense. Alleghany uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its reinsurance and insurance segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to Alleghany's reinsurance and insurance segment's underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss, and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance company's ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk. A reconciliation of underwriting profit to earnings before income taxes is presented within "Consolidated Underwriting Results" on pages 11-14 of the Financial Supplement.
