Secular Market Change
1 (Source: Swiss Re Sigma report)
Unlike 2005 no significant company rating impairments - no barriers to entry for new capital third party vehicles As a Result price increases in 2018 and 1 January 2019 were only flat to marginally up unless directly loss affected
2017/2018 was the costliest catastrophe 18 months on record – over USD 220bn1
The old model of relying on regular catastrophe losses to drive pricing corrections and broad 2006-style hard markets is severely impaired Fidelis’ Strategy facilitates profitable growth following the secular market change with the focus on innovation and new risk markets If you do the same things, do them better
FIDELIS’ FOUR PILLAR STRATEGY
§ In this market Fidelis deploys its underwriting expertise driven by two philosophies:
Innovating new product streams for new uses for the insurance balance sheet

Four Pillar Strategy: Diversified Income and Investment

- 1. Focused offering of Bespoke products with embedded profitability
Bespoke – 47% of GPW but through overall risk allocation; 64% of NPW in 2018 Gross Premiums Written ($m) Key drivers of demand: How is Fidelis positioned to succeed?
- Bespoke is a specific risk transfer
- pportunity often driven by
regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency or transaction facilitation
- Customised modelling and
wordings that closely defines that exposure
- Fidelis sets the terms and conditions
with embedded intellectual property and barriers to entry
- Each bespoke transaction requires an
understanding of the specific risk driver
- Strong engagement with
counterparties and technical expertise is key
Characteristics of bespoke products:
- Highly specialised models tailored to
the risk profile and driven by extensive data history
- Low and stable attritional loss exposure
- Carefully defined tail loss exposure
- Little/no correlation to peak
catastrophe perils so highly capital efficient

(2) Peer Group for Lancashire comparison includes Ace, XL, Arch, Everest, PartnerRe, Axis, Allied World, Renaissance Re, Validus and Montpelier, Greenlight Re and Third Point Re, Hiscox, Amlin, Catlin, Beazley, and Novae. Market performance from December 2005 until December 2013.
Source: Lloyd’s filings. 3) Brindle’s Lloyd’s Syndicates comprise Syndicates 2488 and 488. Note: Other employees, in addition to Richard Brindle, contributed to Brindle's Lloyd's Syndicates' track record. Past performance does not indicate future results. Any investment entails a risk of loss.
Note: Syndicate 2488 and 488’s combined return on capacity (profit before personal expenses as a percentage of capacity) of 16% translates to a 22% pre-tax return on common equity (Assuming a 75% capacity to capital ratio). These returns are Fidelis management’s estimates for capital requirement supporting syndicates 488 and 2488 for the relevant years.

PREDOMINANTLY HIGH QUALITY, SHORT DURATION, FIXED INCOME ASSETS
Ma Main reasons for change:
- The investment results were poor, magnified by the
balance sheet drag caused by rating agency requirement to hold significantly more capital for hedge funds
- The assertions about the alpha that the managers could
provide were unsupported by experience, and the volatility in the results was not compatible with a rated (re)insurance company
- Focus our equity story on our core expertise -
underwriting where we outperform
- Capital efficiency improved

Footnotes to Financial Highlights
1. Loss ratio is calculated as: net losses divided by net earned premiums. It also includes the impact of a derivative based upon the total industry losses incurred from Typhoon Jebi which has been included in the investment income rather than net premiums earned and net losses. 2. Combined ratio includes the impact of the Jebi derivative discussed in note (1). 3. Mature state is when the ratio of net earned premium to net written premium is equal to approximately 80% which we expect to achieve in 2023. 4. Total investment return is calculated as: net investment income/(loss) divided by total investible assets, including cash. This includes gains and losses on available for sale assets for 2018. It excludes the gain on the Jebi derivative discussed in footnote 1. During 2018, Fidelis amended its accounting policy such that all fixed income securities acquired in 2018 and going forward are classified as available for sale. 5. Fully diluted book value per share is the equity attributable to Fidelis’ shareholders divided by the sum of common shares outstanding and the dilutive impact of outstanding warrants and restricted stock units. 6. ROE is calculated as the change in diluted book value per share over the opening diluted book value per share adjusted for common
- dividends. Beginning diluted book value per share as of 31st December 2017 was $8.35; ending diluted book value per common share
as of 31st December 2018 was $7.80. ROE includes the dividend declared in February 2018 and paid in March 2018 of $0.94 per share and excludes the impact of the preferred share repurchases.

The Company’s actual losses from any loss events may differ materially from the estimates provided and reserves currently held.
