“Everest’s third quarter performance was excellent. We delivered outstanding returns including a near 20% operating return on equity and an annualized 25% total shareholder return,” said Everest President & CEO Juan C. Andrade. "We are leaning into the hard reinsurance market, where favorable conditions and the global flight to quality persist. As a lead market and preferred partner, we are well-positioned for the upcoming January renewals. We continue to expand our global reinsurance portfolio at significantly improved risk adjusted returns. In addition, our primary insurance business continues to generate strong and consistent underwriting income, with a significant year-over-year improvement. Supporting the strong underwriting performance of our two businesses, our high-quality investment portfolio continues to deliver outstanding returns, generating over $400 million in net investment income in the quarter, and over $1 billion year-to-date. We have significant momentum heading into the final quarter of the year, with strong tailwinds and exceptional talent powering our disciplined execution and industry-leading shareholder returns."

  • Robust pricing momentum continued in the third quarter, with Cat pricing up over 30% with improved terms/conditions.
  • Attritional loss ratio improved 160-basis points over last year to 57.5%, and the attritional combined ratio improved to 84.9% versus 86.8% a year ago.
  • Pre-tax catastrophe losses fell to $160 million net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, from $620 million a year ago.

  • Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $10 million, net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, in the quarter versus $110 million in the prior year.

(Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

Although net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) are an integral part of the Company’s insurance operations, the determination of net gains (losses) on investments and foreign exchange income (expense) is independent of the insurance underwriting process. The Company believes that the level of net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) for any particular period is not indicative of the performance of the underlying business in that particular period. Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income (loss) makes it more difficult for users of the financial information to evaluate the Company’s success or failure in its basic business and may lead to incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions. The Company understands that the equity analysts who follow the Company focus on after-tax operating income (loss) in their analyses for the reasons discussed above. The Company provides after-tax operating income (loss) to investors so that they have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the Company’s performance.
