ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and the information under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The terms “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company,” as used in this report, refer to SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint”) and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a combined entity, except where otherwise stated or where it is clear that the terms mean only SiriusPoint exclusive of its subsidiaries.

The statements in this discussion regarding business outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Form 10-K and in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained or incorporated in this Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding prospects for our industry, our business strategy, plans, goals, and expectations concerning our market position, international expansion, investment portfolio expectations, future operations, margins, profitability, efficiencies, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical financial and operating information. When used in this discussion, the words “believes,” “intends,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “plans,” “targets,” “estimates,” “expects,” “assumes,” “continues,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “may” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results, or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give you no assurance these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results, and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:

•the frequency, severity, and development of insured losses, including natural catastrophes, extreme weather events, epidemics, pandemics, man-made events, and other large loss occurrences across many classes of insurance business, along with the amount of insurance losses that may ultimately be ceded to the reinsurance market, supply chain issues, labor shortages and related increased costs;

•the adequacy, accuracy and development of pricing or loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, the lack of available capital, and periods characterized by excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates;

•our ability to maintain or improve underwriting discipline, risk selection, and portfolio diversification across lines and geographies;

•the cyclicality of the insurance and reinsurance markets, including changes in pricing, terms, conditions, and capacity;

•risks relating to our use of reinsurance, retrocessions, alternative capital and third party capital arrangements, including the availability and cost of such protections and the creditworthiness of counterparties;

•our ability to compete successfully in the insurance and reinsurance market and the effect of consolidation in the insurance and reinsurance industry;

•operational, cybersecurity, and technology-related risks, including system failures, data breaches, ransomware attacks, supply chain compromises of third party service providers, or other business interruption events, including those resulting from a malicious cyber-attack on us or our business partners or service providers;

•the effects of global climate change, including increased severity and frequency of weather-related natural disasters and catastrophes, including wildfires, heat waves, and increased coastal flooding in many geographic areas;

•geopolitical uncertainty, including the ongoing conflicts in Europe, South America, and the Middle East;

•risks related to inflation, social information, and shifts in judicial, legislative, or regulatory environments;

32

•our ability to attract, develop, and retain key personnel, distribution partners, and underwriting talent;

•a downgrade or withdrawal of our financial ratings;

•fluctuations in our results of operations;

•the performance of strategic partnerships, joint ventures, delegated underwriting authorities, and other third party relationships, including risks associated with delegating authority to third party managing general agents (“MGAs”);

•legal restrictions on certain of SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and other distributions to SiriusPoint;

•the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings;

•regulatory, legal, and compliance developments affecting our insurance, reinsurance, MGAs, Lloyd’s or international operations, including capital, solvency, reporting, conduct risk, and data protection requirements;

•reduced returns or losses in SiriusPoint’s investment portfolio, including the impact of market volatility, credit events, interest rate movements, inflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, and changes in asset valuations;

•our exposure or potential exposure to corporate income tax in Bermuda and the EU, U.S. federal income and withholding taxes and our significant deferred tax assets, which could become devalued if we do not generate future taxable income or applicable corporate tax rates are reduced;

•future strategic transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions, investments, mergers, or joint ventures;

•SiriusPoint’s response to any acquisition proposal that may be received from any party, including any actions that may be considered by the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof; and

•other risks and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K and other subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our financial condition or future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this report ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not place undue reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Overview

We are a global underwriter of insurance and reinsurance, domiciled in Bermuda. We have licenses to write property, casualty and accident & health insurance and reinsurance globally, including admitted & non-admitted licensed companies in the United States, a Bermuda Class 4 company, a Lloyd’s of London (“Lloyd’s”) syndicate and managing agency, and an internationally licensed company domiciled in Sweden. Our operating companies have a financial strength rating of A (Positive) from AM Best, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), and Standard & Poor's (“S&P”) and A3 (Stable) from Moody’s Ratings (“Moody’s”).

We aim to drive excellence as a best-in-class underwriter, with a diverse and low-volatility portfolio of specialty lines. We seek to apply our underwriting talent, capabilities, and management expertise to underwrite a profitable book of business and identify new opportunities to create value. Our approach is to be nimble and attuned to market opportunities within our segments of Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, allocating capital where we see profitable opportunity, while remaining disciplined and focused on our specified risk tolerances and areas of expertise.

Distribution relationships are particularly important to us. A majority of our premium is produced via MGAs, including both our consolidated MGAs and non-consolidated MGAs. We seek to create capacity partnerships with MGAs that have high integrity and transparent leaders, and teams with deep underwriting expertise and track records of success, and no longer take capital positions in those business partners. Our partnerships are focused on underwriting in concentrated, niche businesses that often offer new exposure to our portfolio, while we provide guidance and oversight. As of March 31, 2026, we had equity stakes in 16 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other) which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business, including general liability, professional liability, directors & officers, credit and bond, cyber, commercial automobile, workers’ compensation, accident & health, and other specialty insurance classes.

Insurance & Services revenue allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in Accident & Health (“A&H”), Property & Casualty, and Other Specialties.

Reinsurance Segment

In our Reinsurance segment, we provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles. We participate in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. We primarily write treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provide facultative reinsurance in some of our business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, our core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe. The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Other Specialties lines of business.

Investment Management

We manage our investment portfolio to balance quality, liquidity, and diversification with asset/liability matching and investment return. Our investment objective is to optimize risk-adjusted net investment income after tax while (1) maintaining a high quality, diversified investment portfolio, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.

Overview

We are a global underwriter of insurance and reinsurance, domiciled in Bermuda. We have licenses to write property, casualty and accident & health insurance and reinsurance globally, including admitted & non-admitted licensed companies in the United States, a Bermuda Class 4 company, a Lloyd’s of London (“Lloyd’s”) syndicate and managing agency, and an internationally licensed company domiciled in Sweden.

We aim to drive excellence as a best-in-class underwriter, with a diverse and low-volatility portfolio of specialty lines. We seek to apply our underwriting talent, capabilities and management expertise to underwrite a profitable book of business and identify new opportunities to create value. Our approach is to be nimble and attuned to market opportunities within our segments of Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, allocating capital where we see profitable opportunity, while remaining disciplined and focused on our specified risk tolerances and areas of expertise.

Distribution relationships are particularly important to us. A majority of our premium is produced via MGAs, including both our consolidated MGAs and non-consolidated MGAs. We seek to create capacity partnerships with MGAs that have high integrity and transparent leaders, and teams with deep underwriting expertise and track records of success, and no longer take capital positions in those business partners. Our partnerships are focused on underwriting in concentrated, niche businesses that often offer new exposure to our portfolio, while we provide guidance and oversight. We launched 16 new strategic partnerships with various program administrators during 2025, which underwrite across many business lines, including, but not limited to, Casualty, Property, A&H, and Other Specialties.

Recent Developments & Business Outlook

Sale and Deconsolidation of Armada

On September 29, 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell our wholly owned subsidiary, Armada, to Ambac Financial Group Inc., an unrelated party, for $250 million. The transaction closed on October 31, 2025. We will continue our underwriting capacity partnership with Armada until the end of 2030.

Effective November 1, 2025, we deconsolidated Armada when the transaction closed following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Accordingly, we deconsolidated and removed the carrying value of Armada’s assets of $36.4 million and liabilities of $22.6 million from our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, and recognized a gain of $222.4 million in our consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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. We also renewed and extended our capacity agreement with Arcadian until the end of 2031. On January 30, 2026, the transaction closed following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. 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,

61

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 and financial leverage, 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.

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.

Current Outlook

Insurance & Services

The majority of insurance lines we underwrite continue to show rate improvement, albeit reduced rates of increase. Although some lines, such as property, directors & officers, and select sectors of marine, energy, and credit are experiencing rate declines, we believe rate is still outpacing loss cost in many lines of business. Though pricing in global insurance markets is generally softening with rates coming off their peaks in most products, select lines are experiencing significant rate increases, such as commercial auto, where significant rate increases continue due to continued poor industry loss experience, further exacerbated by the impacts of social inflation, as well as aviation, which is seeing significant rate increases from the recent frequency of severe global aviation losses. We continue to see strong growth in the program business, from growth of existing MGAs and the addition of new MGAs, largely in North America and the U.K, in casualty, property and both short and long tail specialty lines. This momentum is partially driven by continued growth in the program sector from underwriting talent migration from insurance carriers to MGAs, as well as the continued shift of business from the admitted market to the E&S market. In addition, we are benefiting from MGAs seeking carrier partners with limited channel conflict, meaningful levels of capitalization and appetite for risk retention, and a focus on distribution via the program space.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance markets are generally experiencing a declining rate environment, due in part to over-supply and recent strong financial performance across the sector. Property catastrophe reinsurance is experiencing significant risk-adjusted rate decreases globally, while US casualty has remained more stable. Specialty lines are generally experiencing rate decreases, except for aviation due to recent frequency of severe global aviation losses.

Business Outlook

We aim to be a top performing underwriter, with a portfolio of specialty lines, that targets a 12-15% return on equity across the pricing cycle and a business mix intended to produce a lower volatility of results. We strive to maintain relentless focus on underwriting and a disciplined approach to strategic capital deployment. Our business benefits from a global multi-channel distribution network, providing dynamic opportunities for profitable growth. Our business model is diversified as we continue to benefit from three sources of earnings; (i) underwriting results where we bear insurance risk; (ii) services fee income from MGAs we consolidate; and (iii) investment results.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that the following key financial indicators are the most important in evaluating our performance as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Tangible book value per diluted common share (1)$17.62$13.42

(1)    Core combined ratio, Core underwriting income, and Core net services income are non-GAAP financial measures. See definitions in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliations in “Segment Results” below and Note 4 “Segment reporting” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See definition and reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Core Results

See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders for the year by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the year.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was calculated as follows:

20252024
($ in millions)
Net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders$443.6$183.9
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period1,737.42,313.9
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period2,269.81,737.4
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders$2,003.6$2,025.7
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders22.1%9.1%

The increase in return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by higher net income during the year ended December 31, 2025, which included a gain of $222.4 million from the sale of Armada, as well as higher underwriting and investment income. The year ended December 31, 2024 also included nonrecurring costs associated with the settlement of the Series A Preference Shares and Merger Warrants.

Book Value Per Share

Book value per common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per diluted common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of diluted common shares outstanding, calculated similar to the treasury stock method.

Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliation.

63

As of December 31, 2025, book value per common share was $19.40, representing an increase of $4.48 per share, or 30.0%, from $14.92 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, book value per diluted common share was $18.61, representing an increase of $4.01 per share, or 27.5%, from $14.60 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, tangible book value per diluted common share was $17.62, representing an increase of $4.20 per share, or 31.3%, from $13.42 as of December 31, 2024. The increases reflect continued positive underwriting and investment results, as well as the gain from the sale of Armada, during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The key changes in our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year are discussed below.

Underwriting results

The improvement in net underwriting income for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 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.

(1)Includes $652.8 million of investments in the Third Point Optimized Credit portfolio (“TPOC Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $595.8 million).

(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing our contractual obligations under certain (re)insurance contracts that will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

The decrease in total invested assets and cash as of December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the use of $483.0 million of investments to fund a share repurchase from CM Bermuda Limited (“CM Bermuda”) under a securities purchase agreement entered into in December 2024, partially offset by the receipt of funds from the sale of Armada of $224.9 million, as well as a $60.1 million gain on the AFS portfolio, primarily driven by changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, and reinvestment of cash generated from investment income and underwriting operations.

The duration of our fixed income portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, is 3.2 years (December 31, 2024 - 3.1 years). The duration remained consistent from the comparative period due to our efforts to match our asset duration with economic liabilities in the current interest rate environment. The average credit rating of our investment portfolio is “AA-” as of December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - “AA-”) with no defaults in the investment portfolio.

66

Net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily driven by losses on Other long-term investments in 2024 of $66.3 million resulting from recurring valuations of our portfolio. This was partially offset by a decrease in income from our debt securities and short-term investments to $264.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $289.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the smaller asset base subsequent to the capital transactions executed in the second half of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a discussion of certain risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.

Other Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2025 Other revenues primarily consisted of a gain of $222.4 million from the sale of Armada and $107.4 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, compared to a gain of $95.9 million from the deconsolidation of Arcadian and $90.1 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily driven by increases in IMG’s travel insurance business, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada.

Loss on Settlement and Change in Fair Value of Liability Classified Instruments

For the year ended December 31, 2025 we did not incur a loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments as all instruments were previously settled or exercised. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments of $148.5 million was driven by the losses from settlements with CM Bermuda, including $90.7 million from the settlement of the Series A Preference Shares and $25.9 million from the settlement of the Merger Warrants.

Net Corporate and Other Expenses

Net corporate and other expenses include costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and non-underwriting activities, including service fee expenses from our MGA subsidiaries and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) from our insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable.

The increase in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increases in expenses associated with strategic transactions and projects, as well as an increase in service expenses.

Service fee expense increased to $182.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $176.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by increases in expenses related to IMG, slightly offset by decreases from the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $10.9 million (2024 - $11.9 million). The changes in amortization are due to the use of amortization patterns which are based on the period over which they are expected to generate future net cash inflows from the use of the underlying intangible assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and finance costs are related to interest due on our senior and subordinated notes, as well as interest associated with certain reinsurance contracts.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $79.7 million, including $47.9 million associated with debt obligations and $30.7 million of funds withheld interest from loss portfolio transfers, compared to $69.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, including $48.1 million associated with debt obligations and $29.5 million of funds withheld interest from loss portfolio transfers, which was partially offset by a gain on the commutation of a deposit accounted contract.

Foreign Currency Translation

Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America and certain subsidiaries of IMG, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our business. Assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The

67

remeasurement process results in foreign exchange (gains) losses in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange (gains) losses exclude investment generated net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) as addressed in Investment Results above.

The foreign exchange losses of $25.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were primarily driven by the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to our underwriting activities, partially offset by the impact of our currency hedges.

The foreign exchange gains of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to our underwriting activities, partially offset by the impact of our currency hedges.

Additional foreign currency gains (losses) were recorded as part of the investments results. This includes changes in the value of available-for-sale investments held in foreign currencies which are reflected as an increase or decrease to shareholder’s equity and are not included net income. See Note 8 “Total net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment losses” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On an aggregate basis including foreign currency gains (losses) from investments, the effects of foreign exchange resulted in a decrease to net income of $25.1 million and comprehensive income of $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The effects of foreign exchange are consistent with the recent market fluctuations with a weakening U.S. Dollar offset by our economic currency hedging strategy.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $30.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by increases in income in taxable jurisdictions, as well as the taxable gain on the sale of Armada.

In January 2025, the OECD released administrative guidance including new provisions that are relevant to the GMT calculation taking into account the ETA component of the Bermudian DTA. If this guidance is enacted into legislation by participating OECD member countries, this ETA component generally will be disregarded solely for GMT calculation purposes starting in 2027. The OECD guidance does not directly impact Bermuda CIT law or, in turn, our existing Bermudian DTA. It is possible in the future that the Bermudian government could enact new tax provisions or issue new tax guidance in reaction to the OECD guidance, which could have financial statement effects to us.

Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. We classify our business into two reportable segments - Insurance & Services and Reinsurance. Collectively, the sum of these two segments constitutes “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Corporate results include all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business and products that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 (the “Restructuring Plan”). Corporate results include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write.

Core Premium Volume

Gross written premium increased by $512.1 million, or 16.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Net written premium increased by $436.7 million, or 18.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Net earned premium increased by $392.4 million, or 17.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increases in premium volume were primarily driven by our Insurance & Services segment, including growth across A&H, expansion of Surety within our Other Specialties business line, and continued strategic organic and new program growth in our international business, specifically London MGAs.

Core Underwriting Results

We generated underwriting income of $214.3 million and a combined ratio of 91.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to underwriting income of $200.0 million and a combined ratio of 91.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement in net underwriting income 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. The improved attritional ratio resulted in additional income of $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was partially offset by a $28.5 million decrease in favorable prior year loss reserve development, as well as a $19.6 million increase in catastrophe losses, primarily driven by the California wildfires.

70

Core Services Results

Services revenue was $224.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $222.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by the continued growth of IMG’s travel business, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada, as their services revenue is included through the dates of deconsolidation.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net services fee income decreased to $41.8 million from $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 also driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada, partially offset by higher fee income from IMG. Service margin, which is calculated as net services fee income as a percentage of services revenues, decreased slightly to 18.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 21.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Insurance & Services Segment

In our Insurance & Services segment, we underwrite primary insurance in several sectors globally. We offer insurance solutions to meet the changing risk circumstances of our clients. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Property & Casualty, and Other Specialties.

As of December 31, 2025, we have equity stakes in 18 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other), which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business, including general liability, professional liability, directors & officers, credit and bond, cyber, commercial automobile, workers’ compensation, accident & health, and other specialty insurance classes. As of December 31, 2025, we consolidated two MGAs in our financial statements: Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) and IMG. We provide underwriting capacity in the form of insurance or reinsurance to 9 non-consolidated entities in addition to the two consolidated MGAs. We also have investment stakes in 7 other entities where we have no underwriting relationship. The investment interests in the non-consolidated entities are included in strategic investments within Other long term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table sets forth underwriting results, net MGA results, and ratios for the segment results, and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Premium Volume

Gross written premium in the Insurance & Services segment increased by $472.7 million, or 25.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by Accident & Health, expansion of

71

Surety within our Other Specialties business line, and continued strategic organic and new program growth in our international business, specifically London MGAs.

Consolidated MGAs

We deconsolidated Arcadian as of June 30, 2024 as a result of no longer having a controlling interest. The results of operations of Arcadian are included in our consolidated financial statements through June 30, 2024. We renewed and extended our capacity agreement with Arcadian until the end of 2031. We also deconsolidated Armada as of November 1, 2025 upon the sale to Ambac Financial Group Inc. The results of operations of Armada are included in our consolidated financial statements through October 31, 2025. We will continue our underwriting capacity partnership with Armada until the end of 2030.

Gross written premium generated by the consolidated MGAs in the aggregate increased by $49.1 million, or 18.8%, to $310.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $260.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the continued growth of IMG, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada as their gross written premium is included through the dates of deconsolidation above.

Book value for the consolidated MGAs was $80.3 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $90.1 million at December 31, 2024. The change is primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Armada.

Underwriting Results

The increase in underwriting income of $48.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by premium growth combined with an improved attritional loss ratio.

Services Results

The increase in services revenue of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by the continued growth of IMG’s travel business, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Arcadian and Armada, as their services revenue is included through the dates of deconsolidation above.

Reinsurance Segment

The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwriters Casualty, Property and Other Specialties lines of business on a worldwide basis. The following table sets forth underwriting results and ratios, and the year over year changes for the Reinsurance segment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Premium Volume

Gross written premium in the Reinsurance segment increased by $39.4 million, or 2.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by new business and organic growth in London and

72

New York Casualty, Credit within Other Specialties, and New York Property, partially offset by decreases in Bermuda Property, due to underlying rate decreases and growth reductions, and in Aviation.

Underwriting Results

The decrease in net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by increased catastrophe losses and decreased favorable prior year development. Catastrophe losses were $67.1 million, or 6.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily from the California wildfires, compared to $49.5 million, or 4.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily from Hurricanes Milton and Helene. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by favorable development in Property, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events, compared to $75.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by favorable development in Property and Other Specialties, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events.

Corporate

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effects of the Restructuring Plan and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

20252024Change
($ in millions)
Gross written premium$17.1$68.2$(51.1)

Acquisition costs, net18.873.7(54.9)
Other underwriting expenses16.315.60.7
Underwriting loss$(28.4)$(50.5)$22.1

The changes in premium volume for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily driven by the decreases in business from specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs that were placed in runoff in the first quarter of 2024 and have limited volume in 2025. Gross premium volume decreases were partially offset by premiums from a fronting agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The decrease in underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was further driven by favorable prior year loss reserve development based on the observed loss experience within Corporate during the year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, Core combined ratio, accident year loss ratio, accident year combined ratio, attritional loss ratio and tangible book value per diluted common share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our

73

decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, as well as services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs and services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.

See Note 4 “Segment reporting” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information and a calculation of Core results.

Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share

Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Tangible book value per diluted common share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory

74

authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.

SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

See Note 21 “Commitments and contingencies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional commitments and contingencies that may affect our liquidity requirements.

Dividend Capacity and Capital

SiriusPoint’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries operate, as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. See Note 22 “Statutory requirements” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2025, SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), the immediate wholly-owned subsidiary of SiriusPoint, declared dividends of $701.6 million (2024 - $804.0 million) to SiriusPoint. We believe the dividend/distribution capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $694.7 million as of December 31, 2025, will provide SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, SiriusPoint declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders (2024 - $16.0 million). For the year ended December 31, 2025, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.

On January 29, 2026, the Company announced that it will redeem all 8,000,000 of its issued and outstanding Series B preference shares on February 26, 2026. For further details, see Note 23 “Subsequent events” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch S&P and Moody’s. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint. In addition, the Company annually files the prescribed form of capital and solvency return, which comprises the insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model. The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining a Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s business. The Company’s 2024 filed BSCR ratio was 228%. Further, the Company is currently completing its group BSCR for the year ended December 31, 2025, which must be filed with the BMA on or before May 31, 2026, and the estimated ratio is 247%.

Sources of Liquidity

Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net written premium, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) advance program, and issuances of securities.

75

Effective December 19, 2024, we entered into a 4-year, $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option for the Company to request a 12-month extension, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including, but not limited to, the consent of lenders representing a majority-in-interest of commitments, of the Facility maturity date. Subject to customary conditions precedent upon any borrowing request, the Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Facility and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility.

Effective September 2025, we became a member of the FHLBNY. As a member, we may borrow through the advance program of the FHLBNY, which provides short-term and long-term, fully collateralized loans, called advances, to their members. We have the ability to obtain this funding based on a percentage of the value of our admitted assets in the State of New York, subject to availability of eligible collateral. As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding FHLBNY borrowings.

Financing

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt and equity instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are summarized below.

2024 Senior Notes

On April 5, 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of registered 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 99.6% for net proceeds of $393.9 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 5 and October 5 of each year, commencing on October 5, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 the carrying value of the 2024 Senior Notes was $396.0 million and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2024 - $394.8 million).

2017 SEK Subordinated Notes

On September 22, 2017, we issued floating rate callable subordinated notes denominated in SEK in the amount of SEK 2,750.0 million (or $346.1 million on date of issuance) at a 100% issue price ("2017 SEK Subordinated Notes"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest on their principal amount at a floating rate equal to the applicable Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate for the relevant interest period plus an applicable margin, payable quarterly in arrears on March 22, June 22, September 22, and December 22 in each year commencing on December 22, 2017, until maturity in September 2047. The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes are listed on the Euronext Dublin exchange.

As of December 31, 2025 the carrying value of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes was $292.6 million and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2024 - $244.3 million).

See Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the 2024 Senior Notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.

Debt Covenants

As of December 31, 2025, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2024 Senior Notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.

The Company settled all Series A Preference Shares held by CM Bermuda during the year ended December 31, 2024. For further details and discussion with respect to the Series A Preference Shares, see Note 3 “Significant transactions” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On or about January 5, 2026, the Company offered the remaining holders of its Series A Preference Shares the opportunity to convert their shares into common equity. As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 10,000 remaining Series A Preference Shares. The offer is intended to further simplify SiriusPoint’s capital structure. Participation is voluntary and subject to specified terms. The conversion could affect the liquidity and market value of the remaining Series A Preference Shares and may dilute existing common shareholders through the issuance of additional shares.

Series B Preference Shares

We have 8,000,000 of Series B preference shares outstanding, par value $0.10, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPNT PB”. Dividends on the Series B preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0% per annum. The preference shareholders have no voting rights with respect to the Series B preference shares unless dividends have not been paid for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, in which case the holders of the Series B preference shares have the right to elect two directors.

As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Series B preference shares was $200.0 million and reflected in shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint shareholders in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders. The Company has declared and paid dividends to the Series B preference shareholders every quarter beginning June 30, 2021.

On January 29, 2026, we announced that we will redeem all 8,000,000 of our issued and outstanding Series B preference shares on February 26, 2026.

See Note 17 “Shareholders' equity” and Note 23 “Subsequent events” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the Series B preference shares and the redemption.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit in the amount of $972.3 million had been issued by the Company to various insurance and reinsurance counterparties. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, under any of the letter of credit facilities, our subsidiaries could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letter of credit facilities as of December 31, 2025.

See Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements

Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of December 31, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1.1 billion were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.

We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.

For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is

77

disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Enhanced Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments decreased by $0.2 billion, or 8.9%, to $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 from $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the release of collateral pledged against prior underwriting years’ contracts.

For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 5 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (1) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $400.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

20252024
($ in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$102.4$74.7
Net cash provided by investing activities424.2343.6
Net cash used in financing activities(518.8)(625.0)

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year894.61,101.3
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year$902.4$894.6

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverable and the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in the collection of premiums consistent with the underlying growth of the business, partially offset by payments related to California wildfire claims.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 were driven by proceeds received associated with the sale of Armada, partially offset by lower proceeds from sales and maturities of debt securities compared to purchases during the period. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 were driven by higher proceeds from sales and maturities of debt securities compared to purchases during the period, primarily to fund financing activities.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of a $490.8 million payment for share repurchases. Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of a $517.9 million payment for the redemption of debt, a $299.7 million payment for share repurchases, $99.2 million related to the settlement of the Series A Preference shares and Merger Warrants, and $94.4 million for net payments deposit liability contracts, partially offset by $393.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt and $18.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of options.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2025, total shareholders’ equity was $2,470.9 million compared to $1,938.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net income of $460.1 million and accumulated other comprehensive income from unrealized gains from AFS debt securities of $60.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We maintain a portfolio of marketable investments with varying maturities and a substantial amount of short-term investments to provide adequate liquidity for the payment of claims. We have not taken into account corresponding reinsurance recoverable amounts that would be due to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments and (4) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer

Premium Estimates

The Company recognizes premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies for reinsurance and MGAs for direct insurance, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies and MGAs, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers, ceding companies or MGAs. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition.

79

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts may also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize including commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net earned premium at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

The following table summarizes premium estimates and related commissions and expenses by segment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Risk Transfer

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we record under the deposit accounting method.

(1)Excludes deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance contracts.

In order to reduce the potential uncertainty of loss reserve estimation, we obtain information from numerous sources to assist in the reserving process for both our reinsurance and primary business. Our underwriters and pricing actuaries devote considerable effort to understanding and analyzing a ceding company or MGA’s operations and loss history during the

80

underwriting of the business, using a combination of client and industry statistics. Such statistics normally include historical premium and loss data by class of business, individual claim information for larger claims, distributions of insurance limits provided and the risk characteristics of the underlying insureds, loss reporting and payment patterns and rate change history. In cases where there is limited history or no history for a particular cedent, we rely on other available information based on industry data or other sources. Our analysis is used to project expected ultimate loss ratios for each contract or MGA during the upcoming contract period, which are considered in the loss reserving process.

We rely heavily on information reported by MGAs and ceding companies, as discussed above. In order to determine the accuracy and completeness of such information, our underwriters, actuaries, and claims advocates perform audits of certain MGAs and ceding companies, where customary. Any material findings are discussed with the ceding companies. When we encounter situations where a claim presentation from a ceding company is not in accordance with contract terms our focus is to resolve the issue without the need for litigation or arbitration. However, in the infrequent situations where a resolution is not possible, SiriusPoint defends its position in arbitration or litigation.

See Note 11 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves including reserving methodologies.

As part of our risk management process, we periodically engage external actuarial and claims consultants to independently evaluate the adequacy of the net carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Management considers the results of the independent analysis as a supplement to internal recommendations when determining carried loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve amounts.

The following table details our prior year loss reserve development of liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

20252024

Insurance & Services$(32.1)$(25.7)
Reinsurance(40.1)(75.0)
Corporate(1.6)(7.2)
Total net favorable development$(73.8)$(107.9)

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2025

The $73.8 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2025 was driven by:

•$32.1 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment mainly in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses;

•$40.1 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment primarily driven by favorable development in Property, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events; and

•$1.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate based on the observed loss experience within Corporate during the year.

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2024

The $107.9 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by:

•$25.7 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment mainly in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses;

•$75.0 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment primarily driven by favorable development in Property and Other Specialties, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events; and

•$7.2 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate mainly due to lower than expected reported attritional losses.

81

Sensitivity Analysis

Actual Results vs. Initial Estimates

Generally, initial actuarial estimates of IBNR reserves not related to a specific large event are based on the loss ratio method applied to each class of business. SiriusPoint regularly reviews the adequacy of its recorded reserves by using a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods, including historical incurred and paid loss development methods. Estimates of the initial expected ultimate losses involve management judgment and are based on historical information for that class of business, which includes loss ratios, market conditions, changes in pricing and conditions, underwriting changes, changes in claims emergence, and other factors that may influence expected ultimate losses. If actual loss activity differs substantially from expectations, an adjustment to recorded reserves may be warranted. As time passes, loss reserve estimates for a given year will rely more on actual loss activity and historical patterns than on initial assumptions.

For major events, particularly natural catastrophe, SiriusPoint develops assessments of the ultimate losses associated with each individual event. Estimates are based on information from ceding companies, third party and internal catastrophe models, and by applying overall estimates of insured industry losses to SiriusPoint's exposure information.

Changes in all estimates will be recorded in the period in which the changes occur. In accident years where the updated estimates are lower than our initial estimates, we experience favorable development. Conversely, in accident years where the revised estimates are higher than our original estimates, there is adverse development on prior accident year reserves.

Potential Variability in Loss Reserve Estimates

There are possible variations from current estimates of loss reserves due to changes in key assumptions. In order to quantify the potential volatility in the loss reserve estimates, SiriusPoint employs a stochastic simulation approach to produce a range of results around the central estimate and estimated probabilities of possible outcomes. Both the probabilities and the related modeling are subject to inherent uncertainties. The simulation relies on a significant number of assumptions, such as variation in historical loss development patterns and industry losses for major events, potential mis-estimation of the initial expected loss ratios during the pricing process, and unanticipated inflation.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2"), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3").

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Strategic investments

The Company’s strategic investments are carried at fair value, using the equity method, or the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method. For strategic investments carried at fair value, management generally engages third-party valuation specialist to assist in determination of the fair value based on commonly accepted valuation methods (e.g., income approach, market approach). Where appropriate to utilize the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the investees’ income in net realized and unrealized investment losses. Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our strategic investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.

82

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s strategic investments totaled $102.2 million. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments.

Investments measured using Net Asset Value

We value our investments in limited partnerships, including our investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as we believe it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents our proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.

The fair value of our investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of our proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments measured using NAV.

Income Taxes

We have subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Bermuda, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Recoverability of Net Deferred Tax Asset

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, we consider factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that, if executed, would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to the deferred tax assets and tax expense.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, we must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2025, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.

Change in Tax Laws or Rates

In December 2021, the OECD published two global anti-base erosion model rules under Pillar Two (the “GloBE Rules”), which implement a 15% global minimum tax applicable for multinational groups. The first GloBE Rule is the income inclusion rule (“IIR”), which imposes “top-up” tax on a parent entity in respect of the income of a subsidiary that is taxed at less than 15%. The second GloBE Rule is the “undertaxed payments” rule, which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the income of an affiliate which is taxed at less than 15%. On January 1, 2024, the GloBE Rules went into effect in the EU, including a minimum top-up tax rate of 15% for multinational companies, with many E.U. member states enacting corollary legislation as part of their respective domestic tax laws. Consistent with accounting

83

guidance, the Company will treat the global minimum tax as an in-period tax charge when incurred in future periods for which no deferred taxes need to be provided. No provision for top-up tax was recorded as of December 31, 2025.

Earnings of Certain Subsidiaries

SiriusPoint has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to us or our subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to income or withholding taxes. SiriusPoint Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in the relevant countries are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, including in response to OECD guidance. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could also attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments.

See Note 16 “Income taxes” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on income taxes.

Overview

Our Company was formed following a merger between Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. and Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. on February 26, 2021. We are a global underwriter of insurance and reinsurance, domiciled in Bermuda. We have licenses to write property, casualty and accident & health insurance and reinsurance globally, including admitted & non-admitted licensed companies in the United States, a Bermuda Class 4 company, a Lloyd’s of London (“Lloyd’s”) syndicate and managing agency, and an internationally licensed company domiciled in Sweden.

We are an underwriting company first as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. Distribution relationships are important to us, as we generate premiums from various carefully selected partners, including our consolidated MGAs and non-consolidated MGAs. We seek to apply our underwriting talent, capabilities and proven management expertise to underwrite a profitable book of business and identify new opportunities to create value. Our approach is to be nimble and reactive to market opportunities within our segments of Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, allocating capital where we see profitable opportunity, while remaining disciplined and consistent within our specified risk tolerances and areas of expertise. Our MGA strategy is to partner with high integrity and transparent leaders and teams with deep underwriting expertise and a track record of success. Our partnerships are structured to incentivize all parties to deliver thereby allowing capable teams to do what they do best, while providing complementary services. As of December 31, 2024, we had equity stakes in 20 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other) which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business. Refer to Part I. Item 1. “Business” for additional information.

Products & Services

Reinsurance Segment

In our Reinsurance segment, we provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, we participate in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. We primarily write treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provide facultative reinsurance in some of our business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, our core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe.

The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.

Insurance & Services Segment

In our Insurance & Services segment, we predominantly provide insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. Insurance & Services revenue allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in the reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in Accident & Health (“A&H”), Property & Casualty, and Specialty.

Investment Management

We manage our investment portfolio to balance quality, liquidity, and diversification with asset/liability matching and investment return. Our investment objective is to optimize risk-adjusted net investment income after tax while (1) maintaining a high quality, diversified investment portfolio, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.

Recent Developments & Business Outlook

CM Bermuda Series A Preference Shares Settlement and Share Repurchase

On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), and concurrently therewith, a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement” and, together with the Settlement Agreement, collectively, the “CMIG Series A and Repurchase Agreement”), in each case, with CM Bermuda and CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd.

We paid CM Bermuda a total consideration of $261.3 million upon the closing of the transactions under the CMIG Series A and Repurchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we paid CM Bermuda for full satisfaction and discharge of all obligations and all other claims of any nature related to our Series A Preference Shares held by CM Bermuda and the related Certificate of Designation of Series A Preference Shares of our Company, and recorded a loss of $90.7 million in our consolidated income statement. All Series A Preference shares held by CM Bermuda were cancelled and retired at the closing of the transaction. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, we repurchased 9,077,705 of our issued and outstanding common shares held by CM Bermuda for approximately $125.0 million, which were cancelled and retired at the closing of the transaction.

CM Bermuda Merger Warrant Settlement and Share Repurchase

On December 30, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement”) with CM Bermuda. The CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions set forth therein, we will repurchase all common shares and all warrants to purchase common shares held by CM Bermuda.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement, we will repurchase 20,991,337 warrants at $3.56 per warrant and 45,720,732 common shares at $14.25 per common share. The aggregate amount payable by the Company under the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement will be approximately $733.0 million, including certain costs and expenses. Following the closing, CM Bermuda will have no remaining ownership interest in SiriusPoint. The common shares will be purchased into treasury and the warrants will be cancelled. The CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the

62

CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement is subject only to the representations and warranties of each party being true and correct as of the closing date.

The closing is expected to be completed on or before February 28, 2025. The CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement contemplates that payment thereunder be made in two tranches. The first payment of $250.0 million was made concurrently with the execution of the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement. At the closing, we will pay an additional $483.0 million to CM Bermuda. Pursuant to the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement, we recorded a loss of $25.9 million in our consolidated income statement, which includes $6.8 million of CM Bermuda’s costs and expenses.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement, the parties have agreed that, effective and contingent upon the closing, CM Bermuda’s appointed board representative, Meng Tee Saw, will resign from the Board and each committee of the Board of which he is a member; and we and CM Bermuda will terminate that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2021, by and between SiriusPoint and CM Bermuda (the “IRA”). CM Bermuda has similarly placed an executed resignation letter and IRA termination agreement into escrow. Via the termination of the IRA, CM Bermuda will no longer have observer rights on the Board.

Workers’ Compensation Loss Portfolio Transfer

On April 30, 2024, SiriusPoint America Insurance Company (“SiriusPoint America”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Master Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2024, made by and between SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon National”), an insurer domiciled in Texas and an affiliate of Enstar Group Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Enstar”). The Company received the appropriate regulatory approvals and the transaction closed on October 1, 2024.

Pursuant to the Master Agreement, on the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, among other documents, (a) SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National entered into a Loss Portfolio Transfer Reinsurance Agreement (the “2024 LPT”), pursuant to which SiriusPoint America cedes and Clarendon National assumes 100% of the net liability with respect to certain workers’ compensation insurance exposures of SiriusPoint America (the “Subject Business”) on a funds withheld basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 LPT including an aggregate limit; (b) SiriusPoint America and an affiliate of Clarendon National (the “Administrator”) entered into an Administrative Services Agreement concerning the Administrator’s authority and responsibility for certain administrative services related to the Subject Business, including claims handling; and (c) Enstar issued a Parental Guarantee in favor of SiriusPoint America guaranteeing Clarendon National’s obligations under the 2024 LPT. In certain circumstances and in lieu of the guarantee obligations provided thereunder, Clarendon National may post letters of credit as collateral securing Clarendon National’s reinsurance obligations with respect to the Subject Business. Immediately prior to the effective date of the 2024 LPT, SiriusPoint commuted certain ceded workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts, and the liabilities related to those commuted contracts are included in the Subject Business.

The transaction price of approximately $400 million covered SiriusPoint loss and unearned premium reserves, including commuted liabilities, and the reinsurance premium as of the December 31, 2023 valuation date. The subject loss reserves are now included in Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Following the commutation of certain liabilities, the Company recognized a loss of $20.1 million at the effective date of October 1, 2024. The agreement between SiriusPoint America and Clarendon National is on a funds withheld basis, and the funds held liability (including reinsurance premium) of $297.2 million as of December 31, 2024 is included within Reinsurance balances payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate limit under the 2024 LPT is 150% of the premium paid.

Debt Restructuring

On April 5, 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears. The 2024 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 5, 2024, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. We used certain of the proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes, together with available cash, to fund a tender offer for our 2016 Senior Notes and subsequent redemptions of the then-outstanding amounts of the 2016 Senior Notes and the 2015 Senior Notes. We repurchased and redeemed the full outstanding amount of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Senior Notes. We redeemed the full outstanding amount of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2015 Senior Notes.

On December 19, 2024, we amended and restated our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and entered into a 4-year, $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent.

Current Outlook

Insurance & Services

The majority of insurance lines we underwrite continue to show rate improvement, albeit at reduced rate of increase. Although some lines, such as directors & officers and direct aviation, are experiencing rate declines, we believe rate is still outpacing loss cost in most lines of business. In select lines, such as commercial auto, significant rate increases continue due to continued poor prior years’ experience exacerbated by the impacts of social inflation. We continue to see strong growth in the program business, with momentum for new MGAs, largely in U.K and E.U. property, casualty and both short and long-tail specialty lines. This momentum is partially driven by continued growth in the program sector from underwriting talent migration from insurance carriers to MGAs. In addition, we are benefiting from MGAs seeking carrier partners with limited channel conflict, meaningful levels of capitalization and appetite for risk retention, and a focus on distribution via the program space.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance markets continue to benefit from the positive primary insurance environment across most insurance lines, although at moderating levels. While primary insurance companies, especially those in the U.S. homeowners market, have been materially affected by another year of elevated levels of catastrophe losses, the property reinsurance market has performed well, resulting in materially improved returns on capital in reinsurance. This is due to reinsurers re-evaluating their positions in property, reducing aggregates and focusing on higher excess reinsurance moving away from primary exposures. A combination of increased pricing for catastrophe exposed business, a tightening of contractual terms and conditions, and a focus on higher excess business has resulted in a bifurcation of performance of primary carrier catastrophe exposed business versus catastrophe reinsurance. However, the recent fires in Southern California are expected to impact the reinsurance market, specifically the property catastrophe line of business. In a span of five months, the U.S. property insurance and reinsurance markets experienced two major hurricanes, Helene and Milton, and what may prove to be the costliest fire in recent history. The heightened frequency and severity of catastrophic events in the U.S. and globally, with recent events in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world, continue to financially burden the property insurance industry globally and amplify the potential impacts of climate change on catastrophic loss activity.

Outside of property, in the casualty and specialty reinsurance markets, rate momentum and performance for most lines remains strong, albeit reduced rate of increase. Ceding commissions on proportional business have stabilized and reduced for some casualty product lines, such as public directors & officers and commercial auto. The MGA market continues to show significant growth in casualty and specialty program reinsurance business fueled, in part, by fronting carrier growth. These programs and fronting carriers rely heavily on proportional reinsurance support as a primary source of underwriting capital.

Business Outlook

We are an underwriting-first company as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. Our business model is diversified and differentiated compared to a traditional P&C insurer given we have three uncorrelated sources of earnings; (i) underwriting results where we bear insurance risk; (ii) services fee income from MGAs we consolidate; and (iii) investment results. We took decisive actions on our strategic priorities during 2024 to reduce volatility and increase profitability. Our underwriting results benefited from portfolio refinement, improving our mix of business, and reducing historical volatility from our property reinsurance business, resulting in our ninth straight quarter of underwriting profit. We de-risked our investment portfolio resulting in materially improved and reduced volatility investment returns. We simplified our capital structure through a $400 million debt refinancing and increased share repurchase authorization for a full repurchase of all CM Bermuda common shares.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that the following key financial indicators are the most important in evaluating our performance:

(1)    Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See definitions in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliations in “Segment Results” below and Note 4 “Segment reporting” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See definition and reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Core Results

See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders for the year by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the year.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was calculated as follows:

20242023
($ in millions)
Net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders$183.9$338.8
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period2,313.91,874.7
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period1,737.42,313.9
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders$2,025.7$2,094.3
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders9.1%16.2%

The decrease in return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by lower net income as the year ended December 31, 2024 included nonrecurring costs associated with the Series A Preference Share and Merger Warrant settlements and share repurchase from CMIG, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 which included favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT.

Book Value Per Share

Book value per common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per diluted common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of diluted common shares outstanding, calculated similar to the treasury stock method.

Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliation.

65

As of December 31, 2024, book value per common share was $14.92, representing an increase of $1.16 per share, or 8.4%, from $13.76 as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, book value per diluted common share was $14.60, representing an increase of $1.25 per share, or 9.4%, from $13.35 as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, tangible book value per diluted common share was $13.42, representing an increase of $0.95 per share, or 7.6%, from $12.47 as of December 31, 2023. The increases reflect continued positive underwriting and investment results during the year ended December 31, 2024, and the impact of the share repurchases in the year.

The key changes in our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year are discussed below.

Underwriting results

The decrease in net underwriting income for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development, as the year ended December 31, 2023 included $127.8 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT.

Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income increased by $15.8 million primarily driven by favorable development in Reinsurance, as well as lower attritional losses in both Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, partially offset by higher acquisition costs from business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services, and higher catastrophe losses. See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $54.8 million, or 2.3 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by Hurricanes Milton and Helene, compared to $24.8 million, or 1.0 percentage point on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the Turkey Earthquake and Chile Wildfire.

(1)Includes $595.8 million of investments in the Third Point Optimized Credit portfolio (“TPOC Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $562.0 million).

(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing our contractual obligations under certain (re)insurance contracts that will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

The decrease in total invested assets and cash as of December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the use of funds to support the CMIG Series A and Repurchase Agreement for $261.3 million, the first payment under the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement of $250.0 million, the redemption of $115.0 million of outstanding debt and the commutation of a deposit accounted contract of $100.8 million resulting in the return of funds to the cedant, partially offset by gains on the AFS portfolio.

The duration of our fixed income portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, is 3.1 years (December 31, 2023 - 2.8). The increase from the prior year is due to our effort to lock-in yields on longer-duration investment products in the current interest rate environment. The average credit rating of our investment portfolio is “AA-” as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - “AA”) with no defaults in the investment portfolio.

68

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $289.7 million, partially offset by unrealized losses on other long-term investments of $70.0 million. Increased investment income is primarily due to the rotation of the portfolio from cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government and government agency positions to high-grade corporate debt and other securitized assets, in an effort to better diversify our portfolio. Our net investment income growth was partially offset by an increase in the allocation of incentive compensation expenses resulting from the investment portfolio’s outperformance relative to targets. Losses on private other long-term investments were the result of updated fair value analyses consistent with the current insurtech market trends and disposals of positions as we execute our strategy to focus on underwriting relationships with MGAs.

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $277.0 million.

Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a discussion of certain risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.

Other Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2024, Other revenues primarily consisted of a gain of $95.9 million from the deconsolidation of Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. (“Arcadian”) and $90.1 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, compared to $87.9 million of service fee revenue from MGAs and a gain of $4.5 million from the sale of renewal rights of our environmental business for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily driven by increases in the travel insurance business of International Medical Group, Inc. (“IMG”). Effective June 30, 2024, we deconsolidated Arcadian when our management and Arcadian consented to certain amendments to the shareholders’ agreement and termination of the unsecured promissory note which resulted in our Company ceasing to have control over Arcadian.

Loss on Settlement and Change in Fair Value of Liability Classified Instruments

Loss on settlement and change in fair value of liability classified instruments for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $148.5 million compared to $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a loss of $90.7 million from the settlement of the Series A Preference Shares under the CMIG Series A and Repurchase Agreement and $25.9 million from the settlement of the Merger Warrants under the CMIG Securities Purchase Agreement, which includes $6.8 million of CM Bermuda’s costs and expenses. The loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by the change in the fair value of the liability-classified capital instruments due to the increases in the Company’s common share price.

Net Corporate and Other Expenses

Net corporate and other expenses include services expenses, costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company, non-underwriting activities, including service fee expenses from our MGA subsidiaries, restructuring charges, and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) from our insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable.

The decrease in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by restructuring charges of $30.0 million, which include severance-related charges, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company incurred $7.9 million of costs associated with the 2023 LPT and a standstill agreement with an investor in the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was partially offset by severance and compensation related expenses associated with management changes, consulting fees related to nonrecurring projects and increased regulatory fees as we grow our Lloyds business, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Service fee expense decreased to $176.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $187.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian in the second quarter of 2024 and Banyan in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by increases in IMG.

69

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $11.9 million (2023 - $11.1 million). Amortization patterns are based on the period over which they are expected to generate future net cash inflows from the use of the underlying intangible assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and finance costs are related to interest due on our senior and subordinated notes, as well as interest associated with certain reinsurance contracts.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $69.6 million compared to $64.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due increased funds held interest expense, as well as higher expenses on external debt instruments and the debt refinancing completed during the year, partially offset by a gain on the commutation of a deposit accounted contract.

Funds held interest expense included $25.5 million from the 2023 LPT and $4.0 million from the 2024 LPT for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $16.2 million from the 2023 LPT for the year ended December 31, 2023, as the 2023 LPT closed on June 30, 2023 and only included two quarters of expense. See Note 3 “Significant transactions” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the 2024 LPT and 2023 LPT.

Foreign Currency Translation

Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America and certain subsidiaries of IMG, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our business. Assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The remeasurement process results in foreign exchange (gains) losses in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange (gains) losses exclude investment generated net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) as addressed in Investment Results above.

The foreign exchange gains of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to our underwriting activities, partially offset by the impact of our currency hedges.

The foreign exchange losses of $34.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily due to $34.4 million of foreign exchange losses from our international operations. These amounts were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing net insurance liabilities settled in foreign currencies.

Additional foreign currency gains (losses) were recorded as part of the investments results. This includes changes in the value of available-for-sale investments held in foreign currencies which are reflected as an increase or decrease to shareholder’s equity and are not included net income. See Note 8 “Total net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses)” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On an aggregate basis including foreign currency gains (losses) from investments, the effects of foreign exchange resulted in an increase to net income of $14.6 million and comprehensive income of $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is $30.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by income in taxable jurisdictions, compared to income tax benefit of $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by a one-time tax benefit attributable to the enactment of the Bermuda CIT during the year ended December 31, 2023.

In January 2025, the OECD released administrative guidance including new provisions that are relevant to the GMT calculation taking into account the ETA component of the Bermudian DTA. If this guidance is enacted into legislation by participating OECD member countries, this ETA component generally will be disregarded solely for GMT calculation purposes starting in 2027. The OECD guidance does not directly impact Bermuda CIT law or, in turn, the Company’s

70

existing Bermudian DTA. It is possible in the future that the Bermudian government could enact new tax provisions or issue new tax guidance in reaction to the OECD guidance, which could have financial statement effects to the Company.

Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. We classify our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Collectively, the sum of these two segments constitutes “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Corporate results include all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the restructuring of the underwriting platform announced in 2022 (the “Restructuring Plan”) and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write.

The following tables set forth the operating segment results, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Core Premium Volume

Gross premiums written decreased by $134.3 million, or 4.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Net premiums written decreased by $2.8 million, or 0.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Net premiums earned decreased by $81.5 million, or 3.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decreases in premium volume were primarily due to the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, with the most significant offset being strategic organic and new program growth within Insurance & Services.

Core Underwriting Results

We generated underwriting income of $200.0 million and a combined ratio of 91.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to underwriting income of $250.2 million and a combined ratio of 89.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net underwriting income was primarily driven by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development, as the year ended December 31, 2023 included $104.8 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT.

Excluding the favorable development linked to the 2023 LPT, net underwriting income increased by $49.0 million primarily driven by favorable development in Reinsurance, mainly in Property and Specialty from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events, as well as lower attritional losses in both Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, partially offset by

72

higher acquisition costs from business mix changes, including the growth of Insurance & Services, and higher catastrophe losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2024 catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $54.8 million, or 2.5 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses from Hurricanes Milton and Helene compared to $13.5 million, or 0.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, including losses from the Turkey Earthquake, Hawaii wildfires and Hurricane Idalia, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Core Services Results

Services revenue was $222.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $237.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by increased services revenue from IMG due to continued demand for travel insurance products and services.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net services fee income decreased to $46.7 million from $49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 also driven by the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by higher fee income from IMG. Service margin, which is calculated as net services fee income as a percentage of services revenues, remained stable at 21.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 20.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We generated net services income of $44.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $41.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to higher margins achieved by IMG.

Reinsurance Segment

The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwriters Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis. The following table sets forth underwriting results and ratios, and the year over year changes for the Reinsurance segment for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment increased by $64.6 million, or 5.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by new business and renewal growth across Specialty and Property, partially offset by reduced premiums written in Casualty reflecting underwriting actions to improve profitability.

73

Underwriting Results

The decrease in net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to decreased favorable prior year loss reserve development and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by lower attritional losses. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $75.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily driven by favorable development in Property and Specialty, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events, compared to $140.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which included $93.0 million driven by reserving analyses performed in connection with the 2023 LPT.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $49.5 million, or 4.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses from Hurricanes Milton and Helene compared to $12.2 million, or 1.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, including losses from the Turkey Earthquake, Hawaii wildfires and Hurricane Idalia for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Insurance & Services Segment

Through the Insurance & Services segment, we underwrite primary insurance in a number of sectors. With deep expertise and global reach, we offer innovative insurance solutions to meet the changing risk circumstances of our clients every day. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Property & Casualty, and Specialty.

As of December 31, 2024, we have equity stakes in 20 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other), which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business, including general liability, professional liability, directors & officers, credit and bond, cyber, commercial automobile, workers’ compensation, accident & health, and other specialty insurance classes. As of December 31, 2024, we consolidated three MGAs in our financial statements: ArmadaCorp Capital, LLC (“Armada”), Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) and IMG. We provide underwriting capacity in the form of insurance or reinsurance to 10 non-consolidated entities in addition to the three consolidated MGAs. We also have investment stakes in 7 other entities where we have no underwriting relationship. The investment interests in the non-consolidated entities are included in strategic investments within Other long term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Insurance & Services segment decreased by $198.9 million, or 9.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate, including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, representing $421.8 million of gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as lower A&H premiums, partially offset by strategic organic and new program growth.

Consolidated MGAs

We deconsolidated Banyan as of October 31, 2023 when we sold our ownership shares. However, we executed a three-year extension of the commercial relationship with Banyan, extending our partnership. We also deconsolidated Arcadian as of June 30, 2024 as a result of no longer having a controlling interest. The results of operations of Arcadian are included in our consolidated financial statements through June 30, 2024. There has been no change to our underwriting relationship with Arcadian.

Gross premiums written generated by the consolidated MGAs in the aggregate decreased by $422.2 million, or 61.8%, to $260.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $683.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Banyan and Arcadian, as well as lower premiums from Armada.

Book value for the consolidated MGAs was $90.1 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $76.3 million at December 31, 2023, when adjusted to exclude Arcadian.

Underwriting Results

The increase in underwriting income of $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by our decreased loss ratio mainly from lower attritional losses, partially offset by higher acquisition costs from business mix changes as we grow our Insurance & Services segment.

Services Results

The decrease in services revenue of $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian, partially offset by increased services revenue from IMG due to continued demand for travel insurance products and services. Services noncontrolling income also decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the deconsolidation of Arcadian, which resulted in an increase in net services income of $2.3 million.

Corporate

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effects of the Restructuring Plan and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded, as well as specific workers’ compensation and cyber programs which we no longer write. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Acquisition costs, net73.762.211.5
Other underwriting expenses15.619.3(3.7)
Underwriting loss$(50.5)$(16.9)$(33.6)

The increase in underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily driven by increased attritional losses from the movement of certain lines from Insurance & Services to Corporate,

75

including the non-renewal of a Workers’ Compensation program and the planned transition of a Cyber program to another carrier, as well as increased commissions on a sliding scale commission contract that experienced favorable development during the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by lower catastrophe losses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including Underlying income, Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, Core combined ratio, accident year loss ratio, accident year combined ratio, attritional loss ratio and tangible book value per diluted common share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, and services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.

See Note 4 “Segment reporting” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information and a calculation of Core results.

76

Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share

Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Tangible book value per diluted common share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.

SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, strategic investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

See Note 21 “Commitments and contingencies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional commitments and contingencies that may affect our liquidity requirements.

77

Dividend Capacity and Capital

SiriusPoint’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries operate, as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. See Note 22 “Statutory requirements” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2024, SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), the immediate wholly-owned subsidiary of SiriusPoint, declared dividends of $804.0 million (2023 - $101.2 million) to SiriusPoint. We believe the dividend/distribution capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $712.7 million as of December 31, 2024, will provide SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, SiriusPoint declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders (2023 - $16.0 million). For the year ended December 31, 2024, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.

In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch and S&P’s. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint. In addition, the Company annually files the prescribed form of capital and solvency return, which comprises the insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model. The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining a Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s business. The Company’s 2023 filed BSCR ratio was 255%. Further, the Company is currently completing its group BSCR for the year ended December 31, 2024, which must be filed with the BMA on or before May 31, 2025, and the estimated ratio is 223%.

Sources of Liquidity

Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.

The Company entered into a 3-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) as administrative agent, effective February 26, 2021, which was extended in February 2024 for one additional year. On December 19, 2024, the Company and JPM amended and restated the 2021 Facility in its entirety and entered into a 4-year, $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2024 Facility”) with JPM as administrative agent. The 2024 Facility also includes an option for the Company to request a 12-month extension, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including, but not limited to, the consent of lenders representing a majority-in-interest of commitments, of the 2024 Facility maturity date. Subject to customary conditions precedent upon any Company borrowing request, the 2024 Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and also for general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2024 Facility.

Financing

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt and equity instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized below.

78

2024 Senior Notes

On April 5, 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of registered 7.0% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2024 Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 99.6% for net proceeds of $393.9 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2024 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 5 and October 5 of each year, commencing on October 5, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024 the carrying value of the 2024 Senior Notes was $394.8 million and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

2017 SEK Subordinated Notes

On September 22, 2017, we issued floating rate callable subordinated notes denominated in SEK in the amount of SEK 2,750.0 million (or $346.1 million on date of issuance) at a 100% issue price ("2017 SEK Subordinated Notes"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest on their principal amount at a floating rate equal to the applicable Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate for the relevant interest period plus an applicable margin, payable quarterly in arrears on March 22, June 22, September 22, and December 22 in each year commencing on December 22, 2017, until maturity in September 2047. The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes are listed on the Euronext Dublin exchange.

As of December 31, 2024 the carrying value of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes was $244.3 million and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2023 - $267.9 million).

2016 Senior Notes

On November 1, 2016, we issued $400.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes ("2016 Senior Notes") at an issue price of 99.2% for net proceeds of $392.4 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. The 2016 Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

In April 2024, we amended our 2016 Senior Notes pursuant to a Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and following such amendments we completed the redemption of all remaining outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 Senior Notes. As a result, the 2016 Senior Notes had no carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $403.5 million).

2015 Senior Notes

On February 13, 2015, we issued $115.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the “2015 Senior Notes”) due February 13, 2025. The 2015 Senior Notes bear interest at 7.0% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year.

In April 2024, we redeemed all $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2015 Senior Notes. As a result, the 2015 Senior Notes had no carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $114.8 million).

See Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the 2024 Senior Notes, 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes.

Debt Covenants

As of December 31, 2024, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2024 Senior Notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.

Series A Preference Shares

Pursuant to the CMIG Series A and Repurchase Agreement, the Company settled all Series A Preference Shares held by CM Bermuda during the year ended December 31, 2024.

For further details and discussion with respect to the Series A Preference Shares, see Note 3 “Significant transactions” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Series B Preference Shares

The Series B preference shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPNT PB”. The Company has 8,000,000 of Series B preference shares outstanding, par value $0.10. Dividends on the Series B preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0% per annum. The preference shareholders have no voting rights with respect to the Series B preference shares unless dividends have not been paid for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, in which case the holders of the Series B preference shares have the right to elect two directors.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Series B preference shares was $200.0 million and reflected in shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint shareholders in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders. The Company has declared and paid dividends to the Series B preference shareholders every quarter beginning June 30, 2021.

See Note 17 “Shareholders' equity” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2024, $1.2 billion of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, under any of the letter of credit facilities, our subsidiaries could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letter of credit facilities as of December 31, 2024.

See Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements

Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of December 31, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1.3 billion were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.

We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.

For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 14 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Enhanced Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments decreased by $372.5 million, or 13.3%, to $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2024 from $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in investments securing reinsurance contracts and letters of credit.

For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 5 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (1) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income (loss) and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $400.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

20242023
($ in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$74.7$581.3
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities343.6(332.2)
Net cash used in financing activities(625.0)(61.5)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash(206.7)187.6
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year1,101.3913.7
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year$894.6$1,101.3

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables and the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in net income, partially due to the losses on settlement of the Series A Preference shares and Merger Warrants as part of the transactions with CM Bermuda.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 are driven by higher proceeds from sales and maturities of debt securities compared to purchases during the period, primarily to fund financing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily relates to the purchases of debt securities during the period.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of a $517.9 million payment for the redemption of debt, a $299.7 million payment for share repurchases, $99.2 million related to the settlement of the Series A Preference shares and Merger Warrants, and $94.4 million for net payments deposit liability contracts, partially offset by $393.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt and $18.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of options. Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily consisted of $38.5 million for the settlement of CVRs, $18.0 million for the repayment of loans related to repurchase agreements, $16.0 million for cash dividends paid to preference shareholders, $11.5 million for taxes paid on withholding shares and $6.1 million for payments on deposit liability contracts, partially offset by $27.8 million of proceeds from the exercise warrants and options.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2024, total shareholders’ equity was $1,938.8 million compared to $2,530.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the share repurchases during the year, partially offset by net income of $202.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments and (4) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer

Premium Estimates

The Company recognizes premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies for reinsurance and MGAs for direct insurance, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies and MGAs, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the

82

impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers, ceding companies or MGAs. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts may also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize including commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

The following table summarizes premium estimates and related commissions and expenses by segment as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Risk Transfer

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we record under the deposit accounting method.

(1)Excludes deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance contracts.

In order to reduce the potential uncertainty of loss reserve estimation, we obtain information from numerous sources to assist in the reserving process for both our reinsurance and primary business. Our underwriters and pricing actuaries devote considerable effort to understanding and analyzing a ceding company or MGA’s operations and loss history during the underwriting of the business, using a combination of client and industry statistics. Such statistics normally include historical premium and loss data by class of business, individual claim information for larger claims, distributions of insurance limits provided and the risk characteristics of the underlying insureds, loss reporting and payment patterns and rate change history. In cases where there is limited history or no history for a particular cedent, we rely on other available information based on industry data or other sources. Our analysis is used to project expected ultimate loss ratios for each contract or MGA during the upcoming contract period, which are considered in the loss reserving process.

We rely heavily on information reported by MGAs and ceding companies, as discussed above. In order to determine the accuracy and completeness of such information, our underwriters, actuaries, and claims advocates perform audits of certain MGAs and ceding companies, where customary. Any material findings are discussed with the ceding companies. When we encounter situations where a claim presentation from a ceding company is not in accordance with contract terms our focus is to resolve the issue without the need for litigation or arbitration. However, in the infrequent situations where a resolution is not possible, SiriusPoint defends its position in arbitration or litigation.

See Note 11 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves including reserving methodologies.

As part of our risk management process, we periodically engage external actuarial and claims consultants to independently evaluate the adequacy of the net carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Management considers the results of the independent analysis as a supplement to internal recommendations when determining carried loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve amounts.

The following table details our prior year loss reserve development of liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2024

The $107.9 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by:

•$75.0 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment primarily driven by favorable development in Property and Specialty, mainly from reserve releases relating to prior year’s catastrophe events;

•$25.7 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment mainly in A&H due to lower than expected reported attritional losses; and

•$7.2 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate mainly due to lower than expected reported attritional losses.

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2023

The $174.2 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by:

•$140.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment due to management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through December 31, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, in addition to a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT;

•$26.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment which was primarily driven by favorable loss reserve emergence in A&H and lower adverse prior year loss development in workers’ compensation; and

•$6.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate due to various actions taken for the year ended December 31, 2023 including favorable reported emergence in prior accident year loss reserves as validated by the pricing from external reinsurers of the 2023 LPT, and a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT. These favorable loss reserve movements were partially offset by reserve strengthening for specific areas of uncertainty for the loss reserves.

Sensitivity Analysis

Actual Results vs. Initial Estimates

Generally, initial actuarial estimates of IBNR reserves not related to a specific large event are based on the loss ratio method applied to each class of business. SiriusPoint regularly reviews the adequacy of its recorded reserves by using a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods, including historical incurred and paid loss development methods. Estimates of the initial expected ultimate losses involve management judgment and are based on historical information for that class of business, which includes loss ratios, market conditions, changes in pricing and conditions, underwriting changes, changes in claims emergence, and other factors that may influence expected ultimate losses. If actual loss activity differs substantially from expectations, an adjustment to recorded reserves may be warranted. As time passes, loss reserve estimates for a given year will rely more on actual loss activity and historical patterns than on initial assumptions.

For major events, particularly natural catastrophe, SiriusPoint develops assessments of the ultimate losses associated with each individual event. Estimates are based on information from ceding companies, third party and internal catastrophe models, and by applying overall estimates of insured industry losses to SiriusPoint's exposure information.

Changes in all estimates will be recorded in the period in which the changes occur. In accident years where the updated estimates are lower than our initial estimates, we experience favorable development. Conversely, in accident years where the revised estimates are higher than our original estimates, there is adverse development on prior accident year reserves.

Potential Variability in Loss Reserve Estimates

There are possible variations from current estimates of loss reserves due to changes in key assumptions. In order to quantify the potential volatility in the loss reserve estimates, SiriusPoint employs a stochastic simulation approach to produce a range of results around the central estimate and estimated probabilities of possible outcomes. Both the probabilities and the related modeling are subject to inherent uncertainties. The simulation relies on a significant number of assumptions, such as variation

85

in historical loss development patterns and industry losses for major events, potential mis-estimation of the initial expected loss ratios during the pricing process, and unanticipated inflation.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2"), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3").

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Strategic investments

The Company’s strategic investments are carried at fair value, using the equity method, or the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method. For strategic investments carried at fair value, management generally engages third-party valuation specialist to assist in determination of the fair value based on commonly accepted valuation methods (e.g., income approach, market approach). Where appropriate to utilize equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the investees’ income in net realized and unrealized investment losses. Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our strategic investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s strategic investments totaled $105.0 million. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments.

Investments measured using Net Asset Value

We value our investments in limited partnerships, including our investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as we believe it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents our proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.

The fair value of our investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of our proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments measured using NAV.

86

Income Taxes

We have subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Recoverability of Net Deferred Tax Asset

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, we consider factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that, if executed, would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to the deferred tax assets and tax expense.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, we must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2024, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.9 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020.

Change in Tax Laws or Rates

In December 2021, the OECD published two global anti-base erosion model rules under Pillar Two (the “GloBE Rules”), which implement a 15% global minimum tax applicable for multinational groups. The first GloBE Rule is the income inclusion rule (“IIR”), which imposes “top-up” tax on a parent entity in respect of the income of a subsidiary that is taxed at less than 15%. The second GloBE Rule is the “undertaxed payments” rule, which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the income of an affiliate which is taxed at less than 15%. On January 1, 2024, the GloBE Rules went into effect in the EU, including a minimum top-up tax rate of 15% for multinational companies, with many E.U. member states enacting corollary legislation as part of their respective domestic tax laws. Consistent with accounting guidance, the Company will treat the global minimum tax as an in-period tax charge when incurred in future periods for which no deferred taxes need to be provided. No provision for top-up tax was recorded as of December 31, 2024.

Earnings of Certain Subsidiaries

SiriusPoint has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to us or our subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to income or withholding taxes. SiriusPoint Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in the relevant countries are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, including in response to OECD guidance. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could also attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments.

Overview

Our Company was formed following a merger between Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd. and Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. on February 26, 2021. We are a global underwriter of insurance and reinsurance, domiciled in Bermuda. We have licenses to write property, casualty and accident & health insurance and reinsurance globally, including admitted & non-admitted licensed companies in the United States, a Bermuda Class 4 company, a Lloyd’s of London (“Lloyd’s”) syndicate and managing agency, and an internationally licensed company domiciled in Sweden.

We are an underwriting company first as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. Distribution relationships are important to us, as we generate premiums from various sources, including our consolidated MGAs and non-consolidated MGAs. We seek to apply our underwriting talent, capabilities and proven management expertise to underwrite a profitable book of business and identify new opportunities to create value. Our approach is to be nimble and reactive to market opportunities within our segments of Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, allocating capital where we see profitable opportunity, while remaining disciplined and consistent within our specified risk tolerances and areas of expertise. Our MGA strategy is to partner with high integrity and transparent leaders and teams with deep underwriting expertise and a track record of success. Our partnerships are structured to incentivize all parties to deliver thereby allowing capable teams to do what they do best, while we provide services where our partners are lacking. As of December 31, 2023, we had equity stakes in 26 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other) which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business. Refer to Part I. Item 1. “Business” for additional information.

Products & Services

Reinsurance Segment

In our Reinsurance segment, we provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, we participate in the reinsurance market with a global focus through the broker market distribution channel. We primarily write treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provide facultative reinsurance in some of our business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, our core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe.

The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwrites Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis.

Insurance & Services Segment

In our Insurance & Services segment, we predominantly provide insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. Insurance & Services revenue allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in Accident & Health (“A&H”), Property & Casualty, and Specialty.

Investment Management

We continue to reposition our investment portfolio to better align with our underwriting strategy. The increase in interest rates provided an opportunity to rotate the portfolio and capture yield. The repositioning lowers our volatility, while taking advantage of opportunities to improve risk-adjusted returns across asset classes.

Our investment objective is to optimize risk-adjusted after-tax net investment income after tax while (1) maintaining a high quality, diversified investment portfolio, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.

Recent Developments & Business Outlook

SiriusPoint International Loss Portfolio Transfer

On March 2, 2023, we agreed, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, to enter into a loss portfolio transfer transaction (“2023 LPT”), on a funds withheld basis, with Pallas Reinsurance Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the Compre Group, an insurance and reinsurance legacy specialist. The transaction covered loss reserves ceded initially estimated at $1.3 billion as of the valuation date of September 30, 2022, which were reduced to $905.6 million as of June 30, 2023 at closing, as a result of paid losses and favorable prior accident year reserve development recognized during the interim period. As of December 31, 2023, we recorded funds held payable of $763.3 million, reinsurance recoverable of $786.2 million and our estimate of deferred gain is $27.9 million. The 2023 LPT comprises several classes of business from 2021 and prior underwriting years. The aggregate limit under the 2023 LPT is 130% of roll forward reserves at the inception of the contract.

Ratings

On March 22, 2023, Fitch Ratings revised our outlook from negative to stable to reflect recent underwriting performance improvement. On April 19, 2023, AM Best affirmed our financial strength rating and outlook. On November 9, 2023 S&P also revised our outlook from negative to stable to reflect recent underwriting performance improvement, and affirmed our financial strength rating. On January 29, 2024, S&P also removed our holding company, SiriusPoint Ltd., from CreditWatch.

CMIG Receivership

EisnerAmper, a global audit, accounting and tax firm, has been appointed as a private Receiver in Singapore over approximately 82% of the shares of CMIG International Holding Pte Ltd (CMIH), the parent company of CM Bermuda, one of our shareholders. CM Bermuda is a 32.6% shareholder of SiriusPoint, although its voting rights are limited to 9.9%. EisnerAmper is tasked with assessing the relevant assets and liabilities of certain charged assets of CMIH and determining any future restructuring plans.

Standstill Agreement with Mr. Daniel S. Loeb

On April 12, 2023, we acknowledged that Dan Loeb, and certain of his affiliates, disclosed in a Schedule 13D/A filing an indication of interest to explore a potential acquisition of all, or substantially all, of the outstanding common shares of the Company (“Indication of Interest”).

On May 12, 2023, we acknowledged that Dan Loeb, and certain of his affiliates, disclosed in a Schedule 13D/A filing the decision to conclude discussions regarding a potential transaction to acquire the Company.

On August 9, 2023, we entered into a standstill agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dan Loeb, which provides that he will not, subject to certain limited exceptions, make a take-over or purchase proposal for the Company or acquire more than 9.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company or an amount of ownership requiring regulatory approval. Further, the Agreement provides that Dan Loeb would not take any action in support of or make any proposal with respect to controlling, changing or influencing the Company’s management, business, capitalization or corporate structure. The Agreement terminates on July 1, 2025 or a potential earlier date, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Restructuring Plan

On November 2, 2022, we announced a restructuring of our underwriting platform to support the future shape of our business. In line with our strategy to strengthen underwriting results and align our operating platform to our business portfolio, we have made changes to the structure and composition of our international branch network (the "Restructuring Plan"). We are in the process of closing our offices in Hamburg, Miami and Singapore, and reducing our footprint in Liege, Toronto and Stockholm. Following the anticipated closures and scaling of our operating platform, we will continue to serve clients and underwrite all property catastrophe business from Bermuda.

Interest Rates and Inflation

The Central banks’ monetary policies across the globe resulted in increased interest rates during the year. While the rise in interest rates negatively affects the fair value of current debt security holdings, it also provides higher reinvestment rates upon maturity or sales of our existing portfolio. Additionally, our 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest at a variable rate based on the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin.

66

We continue to evaluate the impact of inflation on our underwriting results and reserves. We proactively adjusted trend assumptions in our pricing. As of December 31, 2023, we believe our estimate of the impact of inflation is within our established reserves given the existing provisions for uncertainty that we previously established. As the inflationary environment is dynamic with a relatively high degree of uncertainty, we will continue to monitor and analyze the inflationary environment and its effect on our portfolio in order to maintain adequate pricing and reserving estimates.

Current Outlook

Insurance & Services

The majority of insurance lines we underwrite continue to show rate improvement, albeit at reduced rate of increase. Although some lines, such as directors & officers, are experiencing rate declines, we believe rate is still outpacing loss cost in most lines of business. In select lines, such as commercial auto, significant rate increases continue due to continued poor prior years’ experience exacerbated by the impacts of social inflation. We continue to see strong growth in the program business, with momentum for new MGAs, largely in casualty and both short and long-tail specialty lines. This momentum is partially driven by continued growth in the program sector from underwriting talent migration from insurance carriers to MGAs. In addition we are benefiting from MGAs seeking carrier partners with limited channel conflict, meaningful levels of capitalization, a focus on distribution via the program space, and disruption in the fronting carrier market.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance markets are benefiting from the positive primary insurance environment across most insurance lines. While primary insurance companies, especially those in the U.S. homeowners market, have been materially affected by another year of elevated levels of catastrophe losses, the property reinsurance market has performed well, resulting in materially improved returns on capital in reinsurance. This is due to reinsurers re-evaluating their positions in property, reducing aggregates and focusing on higher excess reinsurance moving away from primary exposures. A combination of significantly increased pricing for catastrophe exposed business, a tightening of contractual terms and conditions, and a focus on higher excess business has resulted in a bifurcation of performance of primary carrier catastrophe exposed business versus catastrophe reinsurance.

Outside of property, in the casualty and specialty reinsurance markets, rate momentum and performance remain strong. Ceding commissions on proportional business have stabilized and reduced for some casualty product lines, such as public directors & officers and commercial auto. The MGA market continues to show significant growth in casualty and specialty program reinsurance business fueled, in part, by an increasing universe of fronting carriers. These programs and fronting carriers rely heavily on proportional reinsurance support as a primary source of underwriting capital.

Business Outlook

Our business model is diversified and differentiated compared to a traditional P&C insurer given we have three uncorrelated sources of earnings; (i) underwriting results where we bear insurance risk; (ii) services fee income from MGAs we consolidate; and (iii) investment results.

We are an underwriting-first company as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. We made significant progress on our strategic priorities during 2023 addressing the issues that were driving historical underperformance and volatility. Specifically, our underwriting results benefited from portfolio refinement, improving our mix of business and reducing historical volatility from our property reinsurance business.

Additionally, we de-risked our investment portfolio resulting in materially improved and reduced volatility investment returns. Based on management’s view and expectation, we are targeting to achieve between $250 million and $265 million of net investment income for the full year 2024.

Our vision for SiriusPoint is to be high performing underwriter. 2023 was a significant restructuring year resulting in improved financial profitability, operational transformation and simplification, and cultural change to reflect an Underwriting First, One SiriusPoint culture. We plan to build on this foundation and create a business that can grow and deliver consistent results. We endeavor to maintain a conservative capital position while being a prudent custodian of capital as we continue to rebuild credibility with our stakeholders. Looking forward, we aim to achieve a consistent return on equity of 12-15% in the medium term.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the year.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was calculated as follows:

20232022
($ in millions)
Net income (loss) available to SiriusPoint common shareholders$338.8$(402.8)
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period1,874.72,303.7
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period2,313.91,874.7
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders$2,094.3$2,089.2
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders16.2%(19.3)%

The increase in return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was due to net income during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of increased underwriting income, due to favorable prior year loss reserve development and lower catastrophe losses, and increased investment income, compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of realized and unrealized investment losses and higher catastrophe losses.

Book Value Per Share

Book value per common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per diluted common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of diluted common shares outstanding, calculated similar to the treasury stock method.

Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliation.

68

As of December 31, 2023, book value per common share was $13.76, representing an increase of $2.20 per share, or 19.0%, from $11.56 as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, book value per diluted common share was $13.35, representing an increase of $2.03 per share, or 17.9%, from $11.32 as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, tangible book value per diluted common share was $12.47, representing an increase of $2.04 per share, or 19.6%, from $10.43 as of December 31, 2022. The increases were due to net income in the current year.

Consolidated Results of Operations — Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

The following table sets forth the key items discussed in the consolidated results of operations section, which includes the results from the Company’s reportable segments and Corporate, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Net income (loss)$363.7$(386.0)$749.7

The key changes in our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior year are discussed below.

Underwriting results

The improvement in net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by increased favorable prior year loss reserve development, lower catastrophe losses and a favorable commission ratio, which results in a higher underwriting gain. Favorable prior year loss reserve development was $174.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through December 31, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, which represents $127.8 million of the favorable loss reserve development, in addition to favorable prior year loss reserve development in Accident & Health. See “Segment Results” below for additional information. See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

In addition, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $24.8 million, or 1.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the Turkey Earthquake and Chile Wildfire, compared to $137.9 million, or 5.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by Hurricane Ian. The lower catastrophe losses were a result of the Company’s significant reduction in catastrophe exposed business, as evidenced by the reduction its overall probable maximum loss (“PML”) by 16.9% from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024. The improvement in underwriting results was partially offset by $42.0 million, or 1.7 percentage points on the combined ratio, of overhead expenses included in Other underwriting expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 that were previously included in Net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. See “Net Corporate and Other Expenses” below for additional information.

(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing our contractual obligations under certain insurance and reinsurance contracts that we will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

The main driver for the increase in total investments as of December 31, 2023 was net investment income of $283.7 million, which primarily benefited from increases in interest rates by central banks in 2023. Our fixed income securities are primarily made up of treasury, corporate, and securitized positions.

The duration of our fixed income portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, is 2.8 years (December 31, 2022 - 1.8 years). The increase from the comparative period is due to our effort to lock-in yields on longer-duration investment products in the current interest rate environment. The average credit rating of our investment portfolio is AA as of December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - AA) with no defaults in the investment portfolio.

The Company has elected to classify debt securities purchased on or after April 1, 2022 as available for sale which has resulted in decreased volatility in net income. This election was made as the AFS model more accurately reflects the investment strategy as we do not actively trade individual securities within our investment portfolio. The AFS portfolio has been funded by sales of the trading portfolio and reallocation of investments from the TP Enhanced Fund.

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses)$272.7$(322.7)

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to net investment income related to interest income from our debt and short-term investment portfolio of $277.0 million. Increased investment income is primarily due to increased interest rates and our rotation of the portfolio from cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government and government agency positions, to high-grade corporate debt and other securitized assets, in an effort to better diversify our portfolio.

Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a net investment loss of $202.0 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund. We also recognized losses of $80.5 million on our debt securities and $10.6 million on the other long-term investment portfolio due to revised valuations on private investments.

Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a discussion of certain risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.

Other Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2023, other revenues primarily consisted of $87.9 million of service fee revenue from MGAs and a gain of $4.5 million from the sale of renewal rights of our environmental business, partially offset by a loss of $59.4 million from the change in fair value of liability-classified capital instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2022, other revenues consisted of $82.1 million of service fee revenue from MGA and a gain of $27.4 million of changes in the fair value of liability-classified capital instruments. The decrease in other revenues is driven by the loss from the change in fair value of liability-classified capital instruments due to the increase in the Company’s common share price, partially offset by an increase in service fee revenue from IMG from improved market conditions and Arcadian from continued growth.

Net Corporate and Other Expenses

Net corporate and other expenses include services expenses, costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company, non-underwriting activities, including service fee expenses from our MGA subsidiaries, restructuring charges, and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) from our insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable.

The decrease in Net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by the reclassification of certain compensation costs, including compensation expenses, previously included in Net corporate and other expense into Other underwriting expense. For the year ended December 31, 2023, $42.0 million of costs were included in Other underwriting expenses that were previously included in Net corporate and other expenses in the year ended December 31, 2022. These amounts were offset by restructuring charges of $30.0 million, which include severance-related charges, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $46.0 million of severance and other related charges for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company incurred $7.9 million of costs associated with the 2023 LPT and the Indication of Interest in the year ended December 31, 2023.

72

Service fee expense increased to $187.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $179.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This was primarily due to increased service expenses from IMG.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a CECL gain of $1.5 million driven by the reversal of certain balances previously included in the allowance, partially offset by an expense for uncollectible recoverables, compared to a loss of $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to credit exposure from Russian (re)insurers and cedents and downgrades of certain Florida catastrophe exposed insurers. See Note 14 “Allowance for expected credit losses” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the credit loss methodology.

Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $11.1 million (2022 - $8.1 million). Amortization patterns are based on the period over which they are expected to generate future net cash inflows from the use of the underlying intangible assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and finance costs are related to interest due on our senior and subordinated notes, as as well as interest associated with certain reinsurance contracts. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $64.1 million (2022 - $38.6 million). The increase is due to the interest expense associated with funds held on the 2023 LPT, in addition to increases in the variable interest rate on the 2017 SEK Subordinated Note.

Foreign Currency Translation

Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America and certain subsidiaries of IMG, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for SiriusPoint’s business. Assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The remeasurement process results in foreign exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange (gains) losses exclude investment generated net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) as addressed in Investment Results above.

The foreign exchange losses of $34.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily due to $34.4 million of foreign exchange losses from our international operations. These amounts were primarily unrealized and resulted from the effects of revaluing net insurance liabilities settled in foreign currencies.

The foreign exchange gains of $66.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily due to $36.0 million of foreign exchange gains from our international operations and $38.0 million of foreign currency gains from the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, as a result of the weakening of the U.S. Dollar. These gains were partially offset by losses on foreign currency derivatives intended to reduce foreign currency exposure.

Additional foreign currency gains (losses) were recorded as part of the investments results. This includes changes in the value of available-for-sale investments held in foreign currencies which are reflected as a increase or decrease to shareholder’s equity and are not included net income. See Note 9 “Total net investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses)” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On an aggregate basis including foreign currency gains (losses) from investments, the effects of foreign exchange resulted in a decrease to net income of $23.8 million and comprehensive income of $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit of $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 is due to a one-time tax benefit attributable to the enactment of the Bermuda CIT, offset by tax expense on increased underwriting profits and investment income, compared to $36.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to losses in taxable jurisdictions.

Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. We classify our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Collectively, the

73

sum of these two segments constitute “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the Restructuring Plan and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded.

The following tables set forth the operating segment results, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Core Premium Volume

Gross premiums written decreased by $94.9 million, or 2.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Net premiums written decreased by $201.9 million, or 7.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Net premiums earned decreased by $19.3 million, or 0.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decreases in written premium volume were primarily driven by a decrease in the Reinsurance segment as we execute the Restructuring Plan.

Core Underwriting Results

We generated underwriting income of $250.2 million and a combined ratio of 89.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to an underwriting loss of $34.8 million and a combined ratio of 101.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net underwriting results in was primarily driven by favorable prior year loss reserve development, lower catastrophe losses and a favorable commission ratio, which results in a higher underwriting gain.

Losses incurred included $167.4 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to favorable prior year loss reserve development of $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase in favorable prior year loss reserve development was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through December 31, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, in addition to a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $13.5 million, or 0.6 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses of $6.8 million from the Turkey Earthquake, $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia compared to $137.9 million, or 6.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, including $80.8 million for Hurricane Ian and $57.1 million for other

75

catastrophe events, including the South Africa floods and France hail storms. For the year ended December 31, 2022, losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including losses from the political risk, trade credit, and aviation lines of business, were $12.2 million, or 0.5 percentage points on the combined ratio.

Core Services Results

Services revenue was $237.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $215.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher services revenue in IMG from increased demand for travel insurance products and services, as well as continued growth in Arcadian.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, net services fee income increased to $49.7 million from $36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to increased services revenues from Arcadian and IMG for the year ended December 31, 2023. Service margin, which is calculated as net services fee income as a percentage of services revenues, increased to 20.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 16.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We generated net services income of $41.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $37.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher margins achieved in Arcadian, partially offset by services noncontrolling income from our consolidated MGAs for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a noncontrolling loss for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Reinsurance Segment

The Reinsurance segment predominantly underwriters Casualty, Property and Specialty lines of business on a worldwide basis. The following table sets forth underwriting results and ratios, and the year over year changes for the Reinsurance segment:

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment decreased by $250.4 million, or 16.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by lower premiums written in International reinsurance, primarily in the property lines, as we execute the Restructuring Plan.

Underwriting Results

The increase in net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily due to higher favorable prior year loss reserve development and lower catastrophe losses.

76

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $140.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The favorable loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily the result of management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through December 31, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, in addition to a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $12.2 million or 1.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, which includes losses of $5.7 million from the Turkey Earthquake, $3.8 million from the Hawaii wildfires and $3.3 million from Hurricane Idalia, compared to $136.3 million, including $79.2 million for Hurricane Ian, $57.1 million for other catastrophe events, including South Africa floods and France hail storms, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Insurance & Services Segment

Through the Insurance & Services segment, we underwrite primary insurance in a number of sectors. With deep expertise and global reach, we offer innovative insurance solutions to meet the changing risk circumstances of our clients every day. The Insurance & Services segment includes Accident & Health, Property & Casualty, and Specialty.

As of December 31, 2023, we have equity stakes in 26 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other), which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business, including general liability, professional liability, directors & officers, credit and bond, cyber, commercial automobile, workers compensation, accident & health, and other specialty insurance classes. We provide underwriting capacity in the form of insurance or reinsurance to 14 MGAs, while 8 are investment only.

The following table sets forth underwriting results, net MGA results, and ratios for the segment results, and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

(1)    Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Insurance & Services segment increased by $155.5 million, or 8.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by growth in premiums from strategic partnerships, partially offset by decreases in North America A&H.

77

Consolidated MGAs

Gross premiums written generated by the consolidated MGAs, excluding Banyan, in the aggregate increased by $13.7 million, or 2.2%, to $631.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $617.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by increases in Arcadian. We sold our ownership shares in Banyan in the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in deconsolidation of our ownership position. However, we executed a three-year extension of the commercial relationship with Banyan, extending the partnership.

Underwriting Results

The increase in underwriting income of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily driven by the increased favorable prior loss reserve development. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to improved favorable loss reserve emergence in A&H and lower adverse prior year loss development in workers compensation.

Services Results

The increase in services revenue of $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to continued growth in Arcadian as well as higher services revenues in IMG from increased demand for its travel products and services.

The increase in net services income of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to higher margins achieved in Arcadian, partially offset by services noncontrolling income from our consolidated MGAs for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to noncontrolling losses the year ended December 31, 2022.

Corporate

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represents certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including the effect of the Restructuring Plan and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate results also include asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures on a gross basis, which have mostly been ceded. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

20232022Change

Acquisition costs, net62.2(3.0)65.2
Other underwriting expenses19.37.911.4
Underwriting loss$(16.9)$(5.7)$(11.2)

The underwriting loss of $16.9 million for Corporate for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes higher catastrophe incurred losses, including $5.0 million from Storm Hans, a single runoff contract that is generating a high attritional losses incurred without significant earned premiums, as well as acquisition costs associated with a runoff A&H contract. These amounts were partially offset by net favorable prior period loss reserve development of $6.8 million, resulting from various actions taken for the year ended December 31, 2023 including favorable reported emergence in prior accident year loss reserves as validated by the pricing from external reinsurers of the 2023 LPT, and a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT. This favorable loss reserve development was partially offset by reserve strengthening for specific areas of uncertainty.

The underwriting loss of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily driven by the Russian/Ukraine conflict losses of $5.3 million.

78

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, Core combined ratio, accident year loss ratio, accident year combined ratio, attritional loss ratio and tangible book value per diluted common share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, and services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs. Net investment gains (losses) from Strategic investments which are net investment gains (losses) from our investment holdings, are no longer included in Core net services income, with comparative financial periods restated. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. Attritional loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses from the accident year loss ratio as they are not predictable as to timing and amount. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.

See Note 5 “Segment reporting” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information and a calculation of Core income (loss).

79

Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share

Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes intangible assets. Starting in 2023, the Company will no longer exclude restricted shares from calculation of Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share, as the unvested restricted shares outstanding are no longer considered material. The resulting change in Tangible Book Value per Diluted Common Share is ($0.05) per share at December 31, 2023 and thus the Company will no longer adjust the calculation. Further, management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The tangible book value per diluted common share is also useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.

SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, strategic investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

80

Dividend Capacity and Capital

SiriusPoint’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries operate, as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. See Note 22 “Statutory requirements” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2023, SiriusPoint received $101.2 million (2022 - $125.0 million) of distributions from SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), its immediate wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe the dividend/distribution capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $810.0 million as of December 31, 2023, will provide SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.

In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch and S&P’s. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint. In addition, the Company annually files the prescribed form of capital and solvency return, which comprises the insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model. The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining a Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the Class 3A and Class 4 insurer’s business. The Company’s 2022 filed BSCR ratio was 217%. Further, the Company filed its third quarter 2023 Bermuda Quarterly Financial Return, the most recent period available, with the ratio improving to 237%.

In connection with our group capital, as assessed by rating agencies and the Bermuda Monetary Authority, the 2023 LPT, together with the first half of 2023 release of reserves linked to the 2023 LPT, is expected to result in a net increase in capital in excess of $150 million and more than 15% improvement in the BSCR ratio compared to December 31, 2022. We are currently completing our group BSCR for the year ended December 31, 2023, which must be filed with the BMA on or before May 31, 2024. This projected capital increase is expected to be attributable primarily to a reduction in required capital associated with reserve risks and an increase in available capital due to the cession of loss reserves to the 2023 LPT below their original carrying value due to the first half of 2023 favorable prior year loss reserve development. For additional information see Note 4 “Significant transactions” and Note 12 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Sources of Liquidity

Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.

Effective February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a 3-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which was renewed in February 2024 for one additional year. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent. As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Facility.

Financing

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional

81

indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt and equity instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below.

2017 SEK Subordinated Notes

On September 22, 2017, we issued floating rate callable subordinated notes denominated in SEK in the amount of SEK 2,750.0 million (or $346.1 million on date of issuance) at a 100% issue price ("2017 SEK Subordinated Notes"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest on their principal amount at a floating rate equal to the applicable Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate for the relevant interest period plus an applicable margin, payable quarterly in arrears on March 22, June 22, September 22, and December 22 in each year commencing on December 22, 2017, until maturity in September 2047. The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes are listed on the Euronext Dublin exchange.

As of December 31, 2023 the carrying value of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes was $267.9 million and reflected as debt in the in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2022 - $258.6 million).

2016 Senior Notes

On November 1, 2016, we issued $400.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes ("2016 Senior Notes") at an issue price of 99.2% for net proceeds of $392.4 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. The 2016 Senior Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2016 Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1, and November 1, in each year commencing on May 1, 2017, until maturity in November 2026. The 2016 Senior Notes are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange.

As of December 31, 2023 the carrying value of the 2016 Senior Notes was $403.5 million and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2022 - $404.8 million).

2015 Senior Notes

On February 13, 2015, we issued $115.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the “2015 Senior Notes”) due February 13, 2025. The 2015 Senior Notes bear interest at 7.0% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year.

As of December 31, 2023 the carrying value of the 2015 Senior Notes was $114.8 million and reflected as debt in the in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2022 - $114.6 million).

See Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes.

Debt Covenants

As of December 31, 2023, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes.

Series A Preference Shares

On February 26, 2021, certain holders of Sirius Group shares elected to receive Series A preference shares as consideration with respect to the Sirius Group acquisition. The Company issued 11,720,987 of designated Series A preference shares, with a par value of $0.10 per share. The Series A preference shares rank pari passu with the Company’s common shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions. Each Series A preference share has voting power equal to the number of Company shares into which it is convertible, and the Series A preference shares and Company shares vote together as a single class with respect to any and all matters.

As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Series A preference shares was $37.6 million and is reflected in liability-classified capital instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not declare or pay dividends to Series A preference shareholders.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Series B Preference Shares

The Series B preference shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPNT PB”. The Company has 8,000,000 of Series B preference shares outstanding, par value $0.10. Dividends on the Series B preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0% per annum. The preference shareholders have no voting rights with respect to the Series B preference shares unless dividends have not been paid for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, in which case the holders of the Series B preference shares have the right to elect two directors.

As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Series B preference shares was $200.0 million and reflected in shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint shareholders in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders.

See Note 17 “Shareholders' equity” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2023, $1.3 billion of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, under any of the letter of credit facilities, our subsidiaries could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letter of credit facilities as of December 31, 2023.

See Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements

Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of December 31, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1.4 billion were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.

We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.

For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Enhanced Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments increased by $389.5 million, or 16.2%, to $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2023 from $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income in the underlying restricted accounts.

For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 6 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (1) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income (loss) and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $300.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements and retrocessional agreements.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

20232022
($ in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$581.3$293.3
Net cash used in investing activities(332.2)(1,304.3)
Net cash used in financing activities(61.5)(23.7)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash187.6(1,034.7)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year913.71,948.4
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year$1,101.3$913.7

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables and the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the collection of premiums due to the increase in premiums written which have outpaced the payment of claims in addition to increased net investment income.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily relates to the increase in purchases of debt securities during the period resulting from increased cash flows provided by operating activities. We lengthened the duration of our fixed income portfolio backing net loss reserves to be economically matched with the liabilities, to 2.7 years as of December 31, 2023, an increase from 2.5 years as of December 31, 2022 and the increase in increase in sales and maturities of U.S. treasuries during the period. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily relates to the increase in purchases of debt securities during the period resulting from increased premium volume as well as increased investing in short term and fixed income agency investments to in response to rising interest rates.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily consisted of $38.5 million for the settlement of CVRs, $18.0 million for the repayment of loans related to repurchase agreements, $16.0 million for cash dividends paid to preference shareholders, $11.5 million for taxes paid on withholding shares and $6.1 million for payments on deposit liability contracts, partially offset by $27.8 million of proceeds from the exercise warrants and options. Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of $16.0 million for cash dividends paid to preference shareholders, $14.0 million for payments on deposit liability contracts and $7.1 million for taxes paid on withholding shares, partially offset by $17.6 million of proceeds from repurchase agreements.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2023, total shareholders’ equity was $2,530.6 million compared to $2,082.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to net income of $363.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments, (4) valuation of loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to the Value of Business Acquired (“VOBA”) and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition, and (5) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer

Premium Estimates

The Company recognizes premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies for reinsurance and MGAs for direct insurance, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies and MGAs, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On

85

an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers, ceding companies or MGAs. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts may also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize including commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

The following table summarizes premium estimates and related commissions and expenses by segment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Risk Transfer

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we use deposit accounting.

(1)Excludes deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance contracts.

In order to reduce the potential uncertainty of loss reserve estimation, we obtain information from numerous sources to assist in the reserving process for both our reinsurance and primary business. Our underwriters and pricing actuaries devote considerable effort to understanding and analyzing a ceding company or MGA’s operations and loss history during the underwriting of the business, using a combination of client and industry statistics. Such statistics normally include historical premium and loss data by class of business, individual claim information for larger claims, distributions of insurance limits provided and the risk characteristics of the underlying insureds, loss reporting and payment patterns and rate change history. In cases where there is limited history or no history for a particular cedent, we rely on other available information based on industry data or other sources. Our analysis is used to project expected ultimate loss ratios for each contract or MGA during the upcoming contract period, which are considered in the loss reserving process.

We rely heavily on information reported by MGAs and ceding companies, as discussed above. In order to determine the accuracy and completeness of such information, our underwriters, actuaries, and claims personnel perform audits of certain MGAs and ceding companies, where customary. Any material findings are discussed with the ceding companies. We sometimes encounter situations where it is determined that a claim presentation from a ceding company is not in accordance with contract terms. Most situations are resolved without the need for litigation or arbitration. However, in the infrequent situations where a resolution is not possible, SiriusPoint defends its position in such arbitration or litigation.

See Note 12 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves including reserving methodologies.

As part of our risk management process, we periodically engage external actuarial and claims consultants to independently evaluate the adequacy of the net carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Management considers the results of the independent analysis as a supplement to internal recommendations when determining carried loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve amounts.

The following table details our prior year loss reserve development of liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

87

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2023

The $174.2 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by:

•$140.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment due to management reflecting the continued favorable reported loss emergence through December 31, 2023 in its best estimate of reserves, which was further validated by the pricing of the 2023 LPT from external reinsurers, in addition to a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT;

•$26.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment which was primarily driven by favorable loss reserve emergence in A&H and lower adverse prior year loss development in workers compensation; and

•$6.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate due to various actions taken for the year ended December 31, 2023 including favorable reported emergence in prior accident year loss reserves as validated by the pricing from external reinsurers of the 2023 LPT, and a reduction in unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves related to the claims that will no longer be managed by SiriusPoint under the terms of the 2023 LPT. These favorable loss reserve movements were partially offset by reserve strengthening for specific areas of uncertainty for the loss reserves.

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2022

The $21.3 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2022 was driven by:

•$8.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment primarily due to COVID-19 reserve releases, partially offset by reserves strengthening in recognition of the current high inflationary environment and increases on prior year catastrophe events;

•$4.7 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment which was primarily driven loss reductions in A&H reserves due to better than expected loss experience, partially offset by reserve strengthening in direct Workers’ Compensation reserves based on reported loss emergence; and

•$7.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate due to runoff surety exposures and property losses.

Sensitivity Analysis

Actual Results vs. Initial Estimates

Generally, initial actuarial estimates of IBNR reserves not related to a specific large event are based on the loss ratio method applied to each class of business. SiriusPoint regularly reviews the adequacy of its recorded reserves by using a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods, including historical incurred and paid loss development methods. Estimates of the initial expected ultimate losses involve management judgment and are based on historical information for that class of business, which includes loss ratios, market conditions, changes in pricing and conditions, underwriting changes, changes in claims emergence, and other factors that may influence expected ultimate losses. If actual loss activity differs substantially from expectations, an adjustment to recorded reserves may be warranted. As time passes, loss reserve estimates for a given year will rely more on actual loss activity and historical patterns than on initial assumptions.

For major events, particularly natural catastrophe, SiriusPoint develops assessments of the ultimate losses associated with each individual event. Estimates are based on information from ceding companies, third party and internal catastrophe models, and by applying overall estimates of insured industry losses to SiriusPoint's exposure information.

Changes in all estimates will be recorded in the period in which the changes occur. In accident years where the updated estimates are lower than our initial estimates, we experience favorable development. Conversely, in accident years where the revised estimates are higher than our original estimates, there is adverse development on prior accident year reserves.

Potential Variability in Loss Reserve Estimates

There are possible variations from current estimates of loss reserves due to changes in key assumptions. In order to quantify the potential volatility in the loss reserve estimates, SiriusPoint employs a stochastic simulation approach to produce a range of results around the central estimate and estimated probabilities of possible outcomes. Both the probabilities and the related

88

modeling are subject to inherent uncertainties. The simulation relies on a significant number of assumptions, such as variation in historical loss development patterns and industry losses for major events, potential mis-estimation of the initial expected loss ratios during the pricing process, and unanticipated inflation.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2"), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3").

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. See Note 7 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Strategic investments

The Company’s strategic investments are carried at fair value, using the equity method, or the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method. For strategic investments carried at fair value, management generally engages third-party valuation specialist to assist in determination of the fair value based on commonly accepted valuation methods (e.g., income approach, market approach). Where appropriate to utilize equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the investees’ income in net realized and unrealized investment losses. Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our strategic investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s strategic investments totaled $203.9 million. See Note 7 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments.

Investments measured using Net Asset Value

We value our investments in limited partnerships, including our investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as we believe it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents our proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.

The fair value of our investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of our proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

Valuation of components of purchase consideration, loss and adjustment expenses reserves, and intangible assets relating to VOBA and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition

Purchase consideration

As a part of the total consideration related to the acquisition of Sirius Group, the Company issued various financial instruments, including preference shares, warrants, and other contingent value components, as discussed further in Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group”.

The majority of these instruments were valued utilizing model simulations that included assumptions around equity volatility and other market-based inputs. The Series B preference shares were valued by considering the results of three separate analyses: (i) a comparison to the observed market yields on similar publicly traded preferred shares of other insurance industry peers; (ii) a build-up method whereby an appropriate yield is based on a base level plus incremental amounts for relative risk and liquidity factors; and (iii) a comparison to the observed or implied yields of other securities in the SiriusPoint capital structure.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves

As a part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized an adjustment to the acquired loss and loss adjustment reserves of $80.6 million as of December 31, 2021 to reflect the fair value of the acquired reserves as of the acquisition date. The adjustment to loss reserves is included in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in our consolidated balance sheets and is based on the present value of future payments plus a risk margin.

Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of loss reserves using historical loss payment patterns and risk margins. As of December 31, 2023, the unamortized fair value adjustment to loss reserves was $44.9 million (December 31, 2022 - $53.7 million). On an annual basis, or as other factors necessitate such as an assessment, we evaluate the fair value adjustment to loss reserves for impairment. As of December 31, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment.

VOBA

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized VOBA of $147.9 million which was fully amortized as of December 31, 2022.

Management determined the fair value of the VOBA intangible asset by calculating the difference between the unearned premium reserve and estimated risk-adjusted future losses and expenses associated with the policies and contracts that were in-force as of the closing date of the acquisition, discounted to present value. Management applied judgment in estimating the VOBA intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions related to the discount rate and expected profitability associated with the unearned premium reserve, which includes an associated risk margin.

Intangible Assets

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, SiriusPoint recognized identifiable intangible assets. As of December 31, 2023, these identifiable intangible assets had a carrying value of $152.7 million and consisted of the following, and are included in intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

•Distribution relationships - refers to the relationships Sirius Group has established with external independent distributors and brokers to facilitate the distribution of its products in the marketplace. As a result of owning the distribution relationships, management will not have to duplicate historical marketing, training, and start-up expenses to redevelop comparable relationships to support business operations. The fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach. Management applied judgement in estimating the fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset, which involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins (which are used to determine the amount and timing of expected future cash flows);

•MGA relationships - refers to relationships with managing general agents on the direct insurance business. Through the MGA relationships, Sirius Group generates a predictable and recurring stream of service fee revenue. The fair value of the MGA relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach, which involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins;

90

•Lloyd’s Capacity - Syndicate 1945 - relates to relationships associated with the right to distribute and market policies underwritten through Lloyd’s Syndicate 1945. The Lloyd’s Capacity intangible asset was valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Insurance licenses - Sirius Group, like other insurance providers, is required to maintain licenses to produce and service insurance contracts. Insurance licenses are estimated to have an indefinite life and are therefore not amortized, but are subject to periodic impairment testing. The insurance licenses were valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Trade name - represents the value of the Sirius Group brand acquired. The trade names intangible asset was valued using the relief from royalty method; and

•Internally developed and used computer software - represents the value of internally developed and used computer software utilized by the Company.

Intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations.

There was no evidence of potential impairment of intangible assets as of December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

We have subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Luxembourg, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Recoverability of Net Deferred Tax Asset

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, we consider factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that, if executed, would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to the deferred tax assets and tax expense.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, we must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2023, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $2.3 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.

Change in Tax Laws or Rates

The Government of Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the “Bermuda CIT”) on December 27, 2023 with an effective date of January 1, 2025. The CIT would apply to Bermuda businesses that are part of multinational enterprise groups with annual revenue of EUR 750 million or more. The tax effects of changes in tax laws must be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted, and deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. Thus, the Company’s deferred taxes were remeasured on December 27, 2023, based upon the 15% income tax rate which resulted in a one-time $100.8 million increase in the net deferred tax assets. The increase in net deferred tax assets was recorded through income from continuing operations

Earnings of Certain Subsidiaries

SiriusPoint has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to us or our subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to

91

income or withholding taxes. SiriusPoint Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in the relevant countries are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, including in response to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") guidance. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could also attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments.

See Note 16 “Income taxes” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on income taxes.

Overview

We are a holding company domiciled in Bermuda. Through our subsidiaries, we provide multi-line insurance and reinsurance products and services on a worldwide basis. We aim to be a highly diversified business with a sustainable and scalable underwriting platform, and a portfolio of insurance-related businesses. We seek to leverage our underwriting talent and capabilities, proven management expertise and geographical footprint, to build on our existing portfolio and identify new opportunities to create value. We intend to allocate our capital to the best opportunities and react quickly to new risks. We are focused on optimizing capital allocation and rebalancing towards insurance and higher margin and growth lines. As of December 31, 2022, we had equity stakes in 36 entities (MGAs, Insurtech and Other) which underwrite or distribute a wide range of lines of business. Refer to Part I. Item 1. “Business” for additional information.

Products & Services

The acquisition of Sirius Group created a highly diversified portfolio with expanded underwriting capabilities, geographical footprint and product offerings. Each segment is described below.

Reinsurance Segment

We provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. For reinsurance assumed, we generally participate in the prospective, as opposed to retroactive, reinsurance market globally through the broker market distribution channel. We primarily write treaty reinsurance, on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, and provide facultative reinsurance in some of our business lines. In the United States and Bermuda, our core focus is on distribution, risk and clients located in North America while our international operation is focused primarily on distribution, risks and clients located in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The Reinsurance segment provides coverage in the following product lines: Aviation & Space, Casualty, Contingency, Credit & Bond, Marine & Energy, Mortgage, and Property.

Insurance & Services Segment

The Insurance & Services segment predominantly provides insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. Insurance & Services revenue allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. We make both controlling and noncontrolling equity investments and debt investments in MGAs and other insurance-related business. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in the following product lines: A&H, Environmental, Workers’ Compensation, and other lines of business including a cross section of Property and Casualty lines.

Investment Management

We continue to reposition our investment portfolio to better align with our underwriting strategy, while leveraging our strategic partnership with Third Point LLC. We believe that this repositioning will result in lower volatility, while taking advantage of opportunities to improve risk-adjusted returns across asset classes.

Under our investment strategy, our fixed income investments, which comprise the majority of our portfolio, are outsourced to a diversified range of third-party asset managers. This includes the Third Point Optimized Credit fixed income strategy, which is predominately investment grade and managed by Third Point LLC, to which we are contractually obligated to reinvest all or part of TP Enhanced Fund withdrawals to date. Third Point LLC continues to manage a portion of our alternative investments, including TP Enhanced Fund, TP Venture Fund and TP Venture Fund II, totaling 2% of SiriusPoint’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2022, as well as working with us on asset-liability management strategies that are tailored to our risk and capital considerations.

Our investment objective is to maximize long-term after-tax total return while (1) limiting the investment risk within prudent risk tolerance thresholds, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.

Recent Developments & Business Outlook

Restructuring Plan

On November 2, 2022, we announced a restructuring of our underwriting platform to support the future shape of our business. In line with our strategy to strengthen underwriting results and align our operating platform to our business portfolio, we have made changes to the structure and composition of our international branch network (the "Restructuring Plan"). We have reduced the locations from which SiriusPoint underwrites property catastrophe reinsurance. As a result, we are in the process of closing our offices in Hamburg, Miami and Singapore, and reducing our footprint in Liege and Toronto. Following the anticipated closures and scaling of our operating platform, we will continue to serve clients and underwrite North American property catastrophe business from Bermuda, and international property catastrophe business from Stockholm. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we incurred approximately $30 million of total costs, primarily related to severance, to implement the Restructuring Plan.

Interest Rates and Inflation

We continue to see rising interest rates as a result of central banks’ monetary policies across the globe. While the rise in interest rates negatively affects the fair value of current debt security holdings, it also provides higher reinvestment rates upon maturity or sales of our existing portfolio. Additionally, our 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest at a variable rate based on the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin.

As inflation continues to increase, we have evaluated the impact on our underwriting results and reserves. We proactively adjusted trend assumptions in our pricing. As of December 31, 2022, we believe our estimate of the impact of inflation is within our established reserves given the existing provisions for uncertainty that we previously established. As the inflationary environment is dynamic with a relatively high degree of uncertainty, we will continue to monitor and analyze the inflationary environment and its effect on our portfolio in order to maintain adequate pricing and reserving estimates.

Cryptocurrencies

We continue to monitor the volatility of the cryptocurrencies and we have evaluated the impact of exposure on our investments and reserves. As of December 31, 2022, the estimate of our exposure to cryptocurrencies related to investments is $9.1 million, and it had a minimal impact on our underwriting results.

Russia/Ukraine Conflict

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S., the U.K., and the European Union governments, among others, have developed coordinated financial and economic sanctions targeting Russia that, in various ways, constrain transactions with numerous Russian entities, including major Russian banks, and individuals; transactions in Russian sovereign debt; and investment, trade and financing to, from, or in certain regions of Ukraine. The effect of the Russia/Ukraine conflict with respect to exposures and coverage interpretations is highly uncertain. We are closely monitoring the developments relating to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and assessing its impact on our business and the insurance and reinsurance sectors. The degree to which companies may be affected depends largely on the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, such as further military action, additional sanctions, and reactions to ongoing developments by global financial markets.

Our current underwriting loss estimate of $17.5 million as of December 31, 2022 has changed minimally from our initial loss estimates in the first quarter of 2022; however, the ultimate impact on our business remains highly uncertain.

While the economic uncertainty resulting from the conflict has impacted global financial markets, the Company’s investment portfolio does not have meaningful direct exposure to investments in Russia or Ukraine.

The conflict also created heightened cybersecurity threats to our information technology infrastructure. Other impacts due to this evolving situation are currently unknown and could potentially subject our business to materially adverse consequences should the situation escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, the geographic proximity of the situation relative to the rest of Europe, where a material portion of our business is carried out.

Current Outlook

Insurance & Services

The majority of insurance lines we underwrite continue to show significant rate improvement. Although some lines, such as directors & officers, are beginning to experience a slowing of rate momentum, we believe rate is still outpacing loss cost in most lines of business. In select lines, such as cyber, significant rate increases continue due to imbalances between supply and demand. We continue to see strong growth in the program business, with momentum for new MGAs, largely in casualty and specialty lines. Some of this momentum is due to the entrepreneurialism and technology disruption we are witnessing in the primary markets, which is also fueling growth for fronting companies.

Reinsurance

While the reinsurance markets are benefiting from the positive primary insurance environment, across most insurance lines, financial results have and continue to be materially affected by elevated levels of catastrophe losses in the property reinsurance market compared to historical averages. This has caused many reinsurers to re-evaluate their positions in property, reducing aggregates and moving away from ground up exposures. As a result, the property reinsurance market globally has seen significantly increased pricing for catastrophe exposed business and a tightening of contractual terms and conditions.

Outside of property, in the casualty and specialty reinsurance markets, rate momentum and performance remain strong. Ceding commissions on proportional business have stabilized and reduced for some casualty product lines. The MGA market continues to show significant growth in casualty and specialty program business fueled, in part, by an increasing universe of fronting carriers. These programs and fronting carriers rely heavily on proportional reinsurance support as a primary source of underwriting capital.

Business Outlook

Our business model is diversified and differentiated compared to a traditional P&C insurer given we have three uncorrelated sources of earnings: (i) underwriting results where we are the risk taker; (ii) services fee income from MGAs we consolidate; and (iii) investment results. However, we have not taken full advantage of our business model and delivered sub-optimal and volatile returns during the last few years. We have experienced volatility from both underwriting and investment results while our service fee income from the consolidated MGAs has been growing at a steady pace.

We believe we are an underwriting company first as we aim to create a business model which is simplified, fully-integrated and globally connected. We have made significant progress on our strategic priorities during 2022 and been addressing issues driving underperformance. Our vision for SiriusPoint is to be a high performing underwriter. 2023 will be a transitional year but should still show significant improvement in profitability while 2024 is the year when we expect to realize full run-rate benefits of all our strategic actions taken during 2022 and 2023. There are execution risks around delivery but we are seeing positive changes in the company performance and culture. We aim to be disciplined with our approach and want to restore credibility with our stakeholders.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that the following key financial indicators are the most important in evaluating our performance:

Core Results

See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the year.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was calculated as follows:

20222021
($ in millions)
Net income (loss) available to SiriusPoint common shareholders$(402.8)$44.6
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period2,303.71,563.9
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period1,874.72,303.7
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders$2,089.2$1,933.8
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders(19.3)%2.3%

The decrease in return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of realized and unrealized investment losses and catastrophe losses for Hurricane Ian and other catastrophe events, including South African floods and French hail storms, compared to realized and unrealized investment gains for the year ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by catastrophe losses for the European floods, Hurricane Ida, June windstorms and winter storm Uri in the prior year.

Book Value Per Share

Book value per common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per diluted common share is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of diluted common shares outstanding, calculated similar to the treasury stock method.

Tangible book value per diluted common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliation.

As of December 31, 2022, book value per common share was $11.56, representing a decrease of $2.67 per share, or 18.8%, from $14.23 as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, book value per diluted common share was $11.32, representing a decrease of $2.78 per share, or 19.7%, from $14.10 as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, tangible book value per diluted common share was $10.43, representing a decrease of $2.84 per share, or 21.4%, from $13.27 as of December 31, 2021. The decreases were primarily due to the net loss in the current year.

Net income (loss)$(386.0)$55.8$(441.8)

The key changes in our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year are discussed below.

Underwriting results

The improvement in net underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2022 was driven by lower catastrophe losses compared to the prior year period, premium growth in Insurance & Services that resulted in higher underwriting income, and a net Corporate charge of $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the 2021 LPT. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $137.9 million, or 5.9 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $329.0 million, or 19.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The lower catastrophe losses were a result of our significant reduction in catastrophe exposed business, with our most notable underwriting action focus centered on global property reinsurance, which represented our primary source of underwriting volatility and underperformance. We rebalanced our property portfolio by decreasing our market share and exposure in the global property catastrophe reinsurance business, as well as reducing other property reinsurance with material catastrophe exposure.

66

(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing our contractual obligations under certain (re)insurance contracts that we will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

The main driver for the increase in total investments as of December 31, 2022 was the deployment of our cash to short-term investments and debt securities to take advantage of rising interest rates and cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, total investments also increased as there was an increase in investment purchases to cover short positions and securities under repurchase agreements. These increases were offset by losses in Related Party Investment Funds, primarily from the decline in fair value of our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, in addition to net realized and unrealized investment losses, due to rising interest rates and widening credit spreads. In addition, we withdrew $581.3 million from the TP Enhanced Fund during the year ended December 31, 2022, as we continue our plan to diversify and reduce the volatility of our portfolio. Our fixed income portfolio returned (2.6)% on an original currency basis. We have also positioned our fixed income portfolio backing net loss reserves at an effective duration of 2.5 years excluding cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has elected to classify all debt securities purchased on or after April 1, 2022 as available for sale (“AFS”). This election was made as the AFS model more accurately reflects the investment strategy as we do not actively trade individual securities within our investment portfolio. The AFS portfolio has been funded by sales of the trading portfolio and reallocation of investments from the TP Enhanced Fund during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Total realized and unrealized investment losses and net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a net investment loss of $202.0 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a (29.0)% return. The return was attributable to detraction from long event/fundamental and long activist equities; credit, including corporate credit and structured credit; and from markdowns to late stage private positions. These losses were partially offset by contributions from interest rate hedges, long energy and utilities equity and short equity positions. In addition to losses on the TP Enhanced Fund, we recognized losses of $80.5 million, or a (3.3)% return, on our debt securities and $10.6 million, or a (4.7)% return, on other long-term investment portfolio due to revised valuations on private investments.

Total realized and unrealized investment gains and net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to investment income of $298.5 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a 27.9% return. The TP Enhanced Fund return was primarily attributable to long event/fundamental equities, in particular from private positions that executed well-received initial public offerings. In addition, we recognized $11.2 million in unrealized gains in private equity and hedge fund investments for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a discussion of certain risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.

Other Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2022, other revenues primarily consisted of $82.1 million of service fee revenue from MGAs and $27.4 million of changes in the fair value of liability-classified capital instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2021, other revenues consisted of $51.1 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, a bargain purchase gain of $50.4 million and $49.7 million of changes in the fair value of liability-classified capital instruments. The decrease in other revenues is driven by the bargain purchase gain recorded in 2021 and the decrease in gain from the decline in the fair value of the liability-classified capital instruments in line with a less significant decline in share price, partially offset by higher services revenue in IMG from increased demand for travel insurance products and services, as well as continued growth in Arcadian.

The 2021 bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the purchase price. The bargain purchase determination is consistent with the fact that Sirius Group’s shares traded at a discount to book value.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the bargain purchase gain recognized as a result of the Sirius Group acquisition and the components of the aggregate consideration.

Net Corporate and Other Expenses

Net corporate and other expenses include services expenses, costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company, non-underwriting activities, including service fee expenses from our MGA subsidiaries, and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) from our insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable and severance charges. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2021, net corporate and other expenses include costs related to the acquisition of Sirius Group and a $5.8 million gain from the sale of Cedar Insurance Company.

The increase in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by increased services expense from continued business growth in IMG, as well as severance, compensation related expenses and professional fees associated with executive changes during the year. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we also incurred approximately $30 million of total costs to implement the Restructuring Plan, primarily related to severance. The increase was partially offset by $58.8 million of expenses associated with the acquisition of Sirius Group, certain professional and advisory fees and compensation-related expenses, which were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded CECL of $12.7 million (2021 - $21.0 million) primarily due to credit exposure from Russian (re)insurers and cedents and downgrades of certain Florida catastrophe exposed insurers. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an allowance for credit losses of $16.8 million as a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group. We recorded an expense to re-establish Sirius Group’s expected credit losses provision from the pre-merger period. See Note 14 “Allowance for expected credit losses” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the credit loss methodology.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $8.1 million (2021 - $5.9 million). The increase is driven by the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter of expense from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and finance costs are related to interest due on our senior and subordinated notes. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $38.6 million (2021 - $34.0 million). The increase is driven by the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter of expense on the senior notes and 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest payments made in Swedish Krona on the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, which weakened in 2022 as compared to the U.S. Dollar.

Foreign Currency Translation

Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America and certain subsidiaries of IMG, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for SiriusPoint’s business. Assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are remeasured into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The remeasurement process results in foreign exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange (gains) losses exclude investment generated net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) as addressed in Investment Results above.

The foreign exchange gains of $66.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily due to $36.0 million of foreign exchange gains from our international operations and $38.0 million of foreign currency gains from the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. These gains were partially offset by losses on foreign currency derivatives intended to reduce foreign currency exposure.

The foreign exchange gains of $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 were primarily due to our international operations and from the foreign currency effects of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes.

Additional foreign currency gains (losses) were recorded as part of the investments results. See Note 8 “Total realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) and net investment income” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On an aggregate basis including foreign currency gains (losses) from investments, the effects of foreign exchange resulted in a benefit to net income of $34.1 million and comprehensive income of $31.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

69

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit of $36.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to income tax benefit of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 is due to an increase in losses in taxable jurisdictions in the current period.

Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. We classify our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Collectively, the sum of these two segments constitute “Core” results.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premiums. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty. The change in accounting policy had no impact on the previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

The following tables set forth the operating segment results, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute our "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Core Premium Volume

Gross premiums written increased by $1,157.3 million, or 51.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Net premiums written increased by $767.9 million, or 43.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Net premiums earned increased by $566.2 million, or 32.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in premium volume were primarily a result of growth across Insurance & Services segment, strong growth in A&H and an increased contribution from strategic partnerships for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021.

Core Underwriting Results

We incurred an underwriting loss of $34.8 million and a combined ratio of 101.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to an underwriting loss of $163.4 million and a combined ratio of 109.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement in underwriting results in 2022 was primarily driven by lower catastrophe losses and higher premium

71

growth in Insurance & Services that generated underwriting income, partially offset by lower favorable loss reserve development.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $137.9 million, or 6.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, including $80.8 million for Hurricane Ian and $57.1 million for other catastrophe events, including South African floods and French hail storms, compared to $326.0 million, or 18.8 percentage points on the combined ratio, including $133 million for the European floods and $97 million for Hurricane Ida, as well as $41 million from June windstorms and winter storm Uri, for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict, including losses from the political risk, trade credit, and aviation lines of business, were $12.2 million, or 0.5 percentage points on the combined ratio.

Losses incurred included $13.5 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to favorable prior year loss reserve development of $32.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, favorable prior year loss reserve development was due to loss reductions on COVID-19 and A&H reserves due to better than expected loss experience, with the most significant offsetting movements being reserve strengthening in recognition of the inflationary environment, on Workers’ Compensation reserves based on reported loss emergence, and on prior year catastrophe events.

Core Services Results

Services revenue was $215.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $133.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher services revenue in IMG from increased demand for travel insurance products and services, as well as continued growth in Arcadian. The year ended December 31, 2021 reflected only a partial quarter from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021.

We generated net services income of $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher margins achieved in our IMG business.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net services fee income increased to $36.3 million compared to $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased services revenues from IMG, Armada and Arcadian for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as the year ended December 31, 2021 reflected only a partial quarter from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021.

Reinsurance Segment

Reinsurance consists of our underwriting lines of business which offer Aviation & Space, Casualty, Contingency, Credit & Bond, Marine & Energy, Mortgage, and Property on a worldwide basis. The following table sets forth underwriting results and ratios, and the year over year changes for the Reinsurance segment:

(1)    Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment increased by $171.0 million, or 12.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021, offset by decreases in both Property and Casualty lines as we rebalance the portfolio towards Insurance & Services.

Underwriting Results

The improvement in underwriting results of $119.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to lower catastrophe losses, partially offset by lower favorable loss reserve development and $12.2 million of losses from the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, were $136.3 million, including $79.2 million for Hurricane Ian and $57.1 million for other catastrophe events, including South African floods and French hail storms, compared to $324.5 million, including $133 million for the European floods, $95 million for Hurricane Ida and $41 million for the June windstorms and winter storm Uri, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to COVID-19 reserve releases, offset by reserve strengthening in recognition of the inflationary environment and adverse development on prior year catastrophe events. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of better than expected loss reserve emergence on historical property events relating to multiple accident years and better than expected attritional loss experience.

73

Insurance & Services Segment

Insurance & Services offers a comprehensive set of services for startup MGAs and insurance services companies including risk capital and equity and debt financing. Furthermore, we offer expertise in underwriting, pricing and product development to businesses with whom we partner. The Insurance & Services segment predominantly provides insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in the following product lines: A&H (including business generated by IMG and Armada), Environmental, Workers' Compensation, and other lines of business including a cross section of property and casualty lines.

The following table sets forth underwriting results, net MGA results, and ratios for the segment results, and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

(1)    Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Insurance & Services segment increased by $986.3 million, or 109.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by growth across Insurance & Services, including growth in premiums from strategic partnerships and A&H, as well as the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting only a partial quarter from the legacy Sirius Group companies in the first quarter of 2021.

Underwriting Results

The increase in underwriting income of $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily driven by the premium growth that generated underwriting income, partially offset by lower favorable prior year loss reserve development.

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and was primarily due to better than expected loss experience in A&H reserves, which was partially offset by worse than expected loss experience in Workers’ Compensation. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development of $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to better than expected loss experience in A&H for recent accident years.

74

Services Results

The increase in services revenue of $82.0 million was primarily due to higher services revenue in IMG from increased demand for its travel products and services, as well as continued growth in Arcadian. The year ended December 31, 2021 reflected only a partial quarter in the first quarter of 2021 from the legacy Sirius Group companies.

The increase in net services income of $24.7 million was primarily driven by higher margins achieved in our IMG business.

Corporate

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represent certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including those that have asbestos and environmental and other latent liability exposures and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate also includes the results from the 2021 LPT. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

20222021Change

Other underwriting expenses7.924.1(16.2)
Underwriting loss$(5.7)$(62.9)$57.2

The underwriting loss of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily driven by the Russian/Ukraine conflict losses of $5.3 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $62.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as we recognized a net charge of $23 million, including $4 million of federal excise tax expense, in the fourth quarter of 2021 relating to the 2021 LPT. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2021, other underwriting expenses include $5.1 million of accelerated expenses related to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, Core combined ratio, accident year loss ratio, accident year combined ratio, management basis gross premiums written and tangible book value per diluted common share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services noncontrolling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs, and net investment gains from Strategic Investments which are net investment gains/losses from investment in our strategic partners. Net

75

services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided, including investment returns on non-consolidated investment positions held.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. Accident year loss ratio and accident year combined ratio are calculated by excluding prior year loss reserve development to present the impact of current accident year net loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Core loss ratio and Core combined ratio, respectively. These ratios are useful indicators of our underwriting profitability.

See Note 4 “Segment reporting” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information and a calculation of Core income (loss).

Management Basis Gross Premiums Written

For 2021, management basis gross premiums written were $2,808.7 million, which is the sum of 2021 total gross premiums written of $2,236.5 million plus $571.2 million of total gross premiums written recognized by Sirius Group for the 2021 pre-merger period from January 1, 2021, to the Acquisition date of February 26, 2021. Management basis gross premiums written consists of Reinsurance segment gross premiums written of $1,787.9 million and Insurance & Services segment gross premiums written of $1,031.0 million summing to Core gross written premiums of $2,818.9 million. Management basis gross premiums written is a non-GAAP financial measure and we believe it allows for a more complete understanding of our underlying business.

76

Tangible Book Value Per Diluted Common Share

Tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable GAAP measure is book value per common share. Tangible book value per diluted common share excludes the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end, and intangible assets. While restricted shares are outstanding, they are excluded because they are unvested. Further, management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The tangible book value per diluted common share is also useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

The following table sets forth the computation of book value per common share, book value per diluted common share and tangible book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.

SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, strategic investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

77

Dividend Capacity

SiriusPoint’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries operate, as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. See Note 22 “Statutory requirements” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2022, SiriusPoint received $125.0 million (2021 - $74.0 million) of distributions from SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), its immediate wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe the dividend/distribution capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $713.5 million as of December 31, 2022, will provide SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch and S&P. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.

Sources of Liquidity

Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.

Effective February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a 3-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Facility.

Financing

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt and equity instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized below.

2017 SEK Subordinated Notes

On September 22, 2017, we issued floating rate callable subordinated notes denominated in SEK in the amount of SEK 2,750.0 million (or $346.1 million on date of issuance) at a 100% issue price ("2017 SEK Subordinated Notes"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes bear interest on their principal amount at a floating rate equal to the applicable Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate for the relevant interest period plus an applicable margin, payable quarterly in arrears on March 22, June 22, September 22, and December 22 in each year commencing on December 22, 2017, until maturity in September 2047. The 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes are listed on the Euronext Dublin exchange.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 the carrying value of the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes was $258.6 million and $296.3 million, respectively, and reflected as debt in the in the consolidated balance sheets.

78

2016 Senior Notes

On November 1, 2016, we issued $400.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes ("2016 Senior Notes") at an issue price of 99.2% for net proceeds of $392.4 million after taking into effect both deferrable and non-deferrable issuance costs. The 2016 Senior Notes were issued in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2016 Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1, and November 1, in each year commencing on May 1, 2017, until maturity in November 2026. The 2016 Senior Notes are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of the 2016 Senior Notes was $404.8 million and $406.0 million, respectively, and reflected as debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

2015 Senior Notes

On February 13, 2015, we issued $115.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the “2015 Senior Notes”) due February 13, 2025. The 2015 Senior Notes bear interest at 7.0% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of the 2015 Senior Notes was $114.6 million and $114.4 million, respectively, and reflected as debt in the in the consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes.

Debt Covenants

As of December 31, 2022, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2017 SEK Subordinated Notes, 2016 Senior Notes, and 2015 Senior Notes.

Series A Preference Shares

On February 26, 2021, certain holders of Sirius Group shares elected to receive Series A preference shares as consideration with respect to the Sirius Group acquisition. The Company issued 11,720,987 of designated Series A preference shares, with a par value of $0.10 per share. The Series A preference shares rank pari passu with the Company’s common shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions. Each Series A preference share has voting power equal to the number of Company shares into which it is convertible, and the Series A preference shares and Company shares vote together as a single class with respect to any and all matters.

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Series A preference shares was $1.8 million and is reflected in liability-classified capital instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not declare or pay dividends to Series A preference shareholders.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Series B Preference Shares

The Company has 8,000,000 of Series B preference shares outstanding, par value $0.10. Dividends on the Series B preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0%. The preference shareholders have no voting rights with respect to the Series B preference shares unless dividends have not been paid for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, in which case the holders of the Series B preference shares will have the right to elect two directors.

On June 28, 2021 and August 12, 2021, the Company entered into Underwriting Agreements with the Series B preference shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Selling Shareholders sold to the public market all 8,000,000 Series B preference shares. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Series B preference shares by the Selling Shareholders. The transaction did not change the underlying conditions of the Series B preference shares. The Series B preference shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SPNT PB”.

79

As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Series B preference shares was $200.0 million and reflected in shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint shareholders in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company declared and paid dividends of $16.0 million to the Series B preference shareholders.

See Note 17 “Shareholders' equity” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2022, $1,270.4 million of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, under any of the letter of credit facilities, our subsidiaries could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letter of credit facilities as of December 31, 2022.

See Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements

Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of December 31, 2022, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1,428.7 million were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.

We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.

For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 15 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Enhanced Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments increased by $355.0 million, or 17.3%, to $2,410.6 million as of December 31, 2022 from $2,055.6 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in investments securing reinsurance contracts and letters of credit.

For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 5 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (1) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income (loss) and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $300.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements and retrocessional agreements.

80

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

20222021
($ in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$293.3$1.6
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities(1,304.3)208.6
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities(23.7)24.3
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash(1,034.7)234.5
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year1,948.41,713.9
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year$913.7$1,948.4

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables and the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to increased premium volume in our Insurance & Services segment.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily relates to the increase in purchases of debt securities during the period resulting from increased premium volume as well as increased investing in short term and fixed income agency investments to in response to rising interest rates. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily relates to the acquisition of Sirius Group, which comprised of $740.3 million of cash and restricted cash acquired, partially offset by $108.4 million of cash consideration. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company redeemed $200.0 million of investments from its Related Party Investment Funds, which was offset by purchases of fixed income investments which exceeded sales and maturities during the period.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of $16.0 million for cash dividends paid to preference shareholders and $14.0 million for payments on deposit liability contracts, partially offset by proceeds from repurchase agreements of $17.6 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily consisted of cash receipts of $48.6 million from the issuance of SiriusPoint common shares pursuant to the equity commitment letter between the Company, Third Point Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. and Daniel S. Loeb in connection with closing of the acquisition of Sirius Group.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for a more detailed discussion on the Sirius Group acquisition.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2022, total shareholders’ equity was $2,082.6 million compared to $2,503.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a net loss of $402.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition, including evaluation of risk transfer, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments, (4) valuation of loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to the Value of Business Acquired (“VOBA”) and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition, and (5) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer

Premium Estimates

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premiums. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. For contracts where the full premium written was not estimable at inception, the Company recorded premium written for the portion of the contract period for which the amount was estimable.

In 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of

82

various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers, ceding companies or MGAs. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition and the retrospective impact from the change in accounting policy on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts may also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize including commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

The following table summarizes premium estimates and related commissions and expenses by segment as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Risk Transfer

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we use deposit accounting.

(1)Excludes deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance contracts.

In order to reduce the potential uncertainty of loss reserve estimation, we obtain information from numerous sources to assist in the reserving process for both our reinsurance and primary business. Our underwriters and pricing actuaries devote considerable effort to understanding and analyzing a ceding company or MGA’s operations and loss history during the underwriting of the business, using a combination of client and industry statistics. Such statistics normally include historical premium and loss data by class of business, individual claim information for larger claims, distributions of insurance limits provided and the risk characteristics of the underlying insureds, loss reporting and payment patterns and rate change history. In cases where there is limited history or no history for a particular cedent, we rely on other available information based on industry data or other sources. Our analysis is used to project expected ultimate loss ratios for each contract or MGA during the upcoming contract period, which are considered in the loss reserving process.

We rely heavily on information reported by MGAs and ceding companies, as discussed above. In order to determine the accuracy and completeness of such information, our underwriters, actuaries, and claims personnel perform audits of certain MGAs and ceding companies, where customary. Generally, ceding company audits are not customary outside the United States. In such cases, we review information from ceding companies for unusual or unexpected results. Any material findings are discussed with the ceding companies. We sometimes encounter situations where it is determined that a claim presentation from a ceding company is not in accordance with contract terms. Most situations are resolved without the need for litigation or arbitration. However, in the infrequent situations where a resolution is not possible, SiriusPoint defends its position in such arbitration or litigation.

See Note 12 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves including reserving methodologies.

As part of our risk management process, we periodically engage external actuarial and claims consultants to independently evaluate the adequacy of the net carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Management considers the results of the independent analysis as a supplement to internal recommendations when determining carried loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve amounts.

The following table details our prior year loss reserve development of liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2022

The $21.3 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2022 was driven by:

•$8.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment primarily due to COVID-19 reserve releases, partially offset by reserves strengthening in recognition of the current high inflationary environment and increases on prior year catastrophe events;

•$4.7 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment which was primarily driven loss reductions in A&H reserves due to better than expected loss experience, partially offset by reserve strengthening in direct Workers’ Compensation reserves based on reported loss emergence; and

•$7.8 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate due to runoff surety exposures and property losses.

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2021

The $42.6 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by:

•$18.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment as a result of better than expected loss reserve emergence on historical property events relating to multiple accident years and better than expected attritional loss experience;

•$13.5 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment as a result of better than expected loss experience in A&H for recent accident years; and

•$10.5 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate as a result of better than expected loss experience on property and contingency classes moved to runoff in 2021.

Sensitivity Analysis

Actual Results vs. Initial Estimates

Generally, initial actuarial estimates of IBNR reserves not related to a specific large event are based on the loss ratio method applied to each class of business. SiriusPoint regularly reviews the adequacy of its recorded reserves by using a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods, including historical incurred and paid loss development methods. Estimates of the initial expected ultimate losses involve management judgment and are based on historical information for that class of business, which includes loss ratios, market conditions, changes in pricing and conditions, underwriting changes, changes in claims emergence, and other factors that may influence expected ultimate losses. If actual loss activity differs substantially from expectations, an adjustment to recorded reserves may be warranted. As time passes, loss reserve estimates for a given year will rely more on actual loss activity and historical patterns than on initial assumptions.

For major events, particularly natural catastrophe, SiriusPoint develops assessments of the ultimate losses associated with each individual event. Estimates are based on information from ceding companies, third party and internal catastrophe models, and by applying overall estimates of insured industry losses to SiriusPoint's exposure information.

Changes in all estimates will be recorded in the period in which the changes occur. In accident years where the updated estimates are lower than our initial estimates, we experience favorable development. Conversely, in accident years where the revised estimates are higher than our original estimates, there is adverse development on prior accident year reserves.

Potential Variability in Loss Reserve Estimates

There are possible variations from current estimates of loss reserves due to changes in key assumptions. In order to quantify the potential volatility in the loss reserve estimates, SiriusPoint employs a stochastic simulation approach to produce a range of results around the central estimate and estimated probabilities of possible outcomes. Both the probabilities and the related modeling are subject to inherent uncertainties. The simulation relies on a significant number of assumptions, such as variation in historical loss development patterns and industry losses for major events, potential mis-estimation of the initial expected loss ratios during the pricing process, and unanticipated inflation.

85

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2"), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3").

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Strategic Investments

The Company’s Strategic Investments are carried at fair value, using the equity method or the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method. For Strategic Investments carried at fair value, management uses commonly accepted valuation methods (i.e., income approach, market approach). Where appropriate to utilize equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the investees’ income in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). Where criteria to be accounted for under the equity method is not met, we have elected to value our Strategic Investments at the cost adjusted for market observable events less impairment method, a measurement alternative in which the investment is measured at cost and remeasured to fair value when determined to be impaired or upon observable transactions prices becoming available.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s Strategic Investments totaled $262.0 million. See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments.

Investments measured using Net Asset Value

We value our investments in limited partnerships, including our investments in Related Party Investment Funds, at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as we believe it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents our proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.

The fair value of our investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of our proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

See Note 6 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments measured using NAV.

Valuation of components of purchase consideration, loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to VOBA and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition

Purchase consideration

As a part of the total consideration related to the acquisition of Sirius Group, the Company issued various financial instruments, including preference shares, warrants, and other contingent value components, as discussed further in Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group”.

The majority of these instruments were valued utilizing model simulations that included assumptions around equity volatility and other market-based inputs. The Series B preference shares were valued by considering the results of three separate analyses: (i) a comparison to the observed market yields on similar publicly traded preferred shares of other insurance industry peers; (ii) a build-up method whereby an appropriate yield is based on a base level plus incremental amounts for relative risk and liquidity factors; and (iii) a comparison to the observed or implied yields of other securities in the SiriusPoint capital structure.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves

As a part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized an adjustment to the acquired loss and loss adjustment reserves of $80.6 million as of December 31, 2021 to reflect the fair value of the acquired reserves as of the acquisition date. The adjustment to loss reserves is included in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in our consolidated balance sheets and is based on the present value of future payments plus a risk margin.

Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of loss reserves using historical loss payment patterns and risk margins. As of December 31, 2022, the unamortized fair value adjustment to loss reserves was $53.7 million (2021 - $65.6 million). On an annual basis, or as other factors necessitate such as an assessment, we evaluate the fair value adjustment to loss reserves for impairment. As of December 31, 2022, there were no indicators of impairment.

VOBA

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized VOBA of $147.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, VOBA was fully amortized and therefore had no carrying value (2021 - $50.0 million). In the year ended December 31, 2022, amortization of $50.0 million (2021- $97.9 million) was recorded in acquisition costs, net in the consolidated statements of net income (loss). The VOBA related asset is included in deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, net on our consolidated balance sheet.

Management determined the fair value of the VOBA intangible asset by calculating the difference between the unearned premium reserve and estimated risk-adjusted future losses and expenses associated with the policies and contracts that were in-force as of the closing date of the acquisition, discounted to present value. Management applied judgment in estimating the VOBA intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions related to the discount rate and expected profitability associated with the unearned premium reserve, which includes an associated risk margin.

Intangible Assets

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, SiriusPoint recognized identifiable intangible assets. As of December 31, 2022, these identifiable intangible assets had a carrying value of $163.8 million and consisted of the following, and are included in intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

•Distribution relationships - refers to the relationships Sirius Group has established with external independent distributors and brokers to facilitate the distribution of its products in the marketplace. As a result of owning the distribution relationships, management will not have to duplicate historical marketing, training, and start-up expenses to redevelop comparable relationships to support business operations. The fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach. Management applied judgement in estimating the fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset, which involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins (which are used to determine the amount and timing of expected future cash flows);

•MGA relationships - refers to relationships with managing general agents on the direct insurance business. Through the MGA relationships, Sirius Group generates a predictable and recurring stream of service fee revenue. The fair value of the MGA relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach, which

87

involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins;

•Lloyd’s Capacity - Syndicate 1945 - relates to relationships associated with the right to distribute and market policies underwritten through Lloyd’s Syndicate 1945. The Lloyd’s Capacity intangible asset was valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Insurance licenses - Sirius Group, like other insurance providers, is required to maintain licenses to produce and service insurance contracts. Insurance licenses are estimated to have an indefinite life and are therefore not amortized, but are subject to periodic impairment testing. The insurance licenses were valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Trade name - represents the value of the Sirius Group brand acquired. The trade names intangible asset was valued using the relief from royalty method; and

•Internally developed and used computer software - represents the value of internally developed and used computer software utilized by the Company.

Intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations.

There was no evidence of potential impairment of intangible assets as of December 31, 2022.

Income Taxes

We have subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Recoverability of Net Deferred Tax Asset

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, we consider factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that, if executed, would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to the deferred tax assets and tax expense.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, we must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2022, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $2.3 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

Earnings of Certain Subsidiaries

SiriusPoint has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to us or our subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to income or withholding taxes. Sirius Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in the relevant countries are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, including in response to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") guidance. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could also attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments.

Overview

We are a holding company domiciled in Bermuda. Through our subsidiaries, we provide multi-line insurance and reinsurance products and services on a worldwide basis. We aim to be a highly diversified business with a sustainable and scalable underwriting platform, and a portfolio of insurance-related businesses. We seek to leverage our underwriting talent and capabilities, proven management expertise and geographical footprint, to build on our existing portfolio and identify new opportunities to create value. We intend to allocate our capital to the best opportunities and react quickly to new risks.

We are focused on optimizing capital allocation and rebalancing towards insurance and higher margin and growth lines. We have embarked on a series of strategic partnerships which we see as a key differentiator and a means by which we can add value and drive disruptive change in the industry, responding to consumers’ insurance needs. Refer to Part I. Item 1. “Business” for additional information on our recent Strategic Investments and partnerships.

Products & Services

The acquisition of Sirius Group created a highly diversified portfolio with expanded underwriting capabilities, geographical footprint and product offerings. In 2021, we began classifying our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Where applicable, all prior periods presented have been revised to conform to this new presentation. Each segment is described below.

Reinsurance Segment

We provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk bearing vehicles on a treaty or facultative basis. We participate in the broker market for reinsurance treaties written in the United States and Bermuda primarily on a proportional and excess of loss basis. Our international book of business consists of treaty, written on both a proportional and excess of loss basis, facultative, and primary business, primarily in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The Reinsurance segment provides coverage in the following product lines: Aviation & Space, Casualty, Contingency, Credit & Bond, Marine & Energy, Mortgage, and Property.

Insurance & Services Segment

The Insurance & Services segment predominantly provides insurance coverage in addition to receiving fees for services provided within Insurance & Services and to third parties. Insurance & Services revenues allows us to diversify our traditional reinsurance portfolio and generally has lower capital requirements. In addition, service fees from MGAs and their insurance provided are generally not as prone to the volatile underwriting cycle that is common in reinsurance marketplace. The Insurance & Services segment provides coverage in the following product lines: A&H, Environmental, Workers’ Compensation, and other lines of business including a cross section of property and casualty lines.

Investment Management

As a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we repositioned and continue to reposition our investment portfolio to better align with our underwriting strategy, while leveraging our strategic partnership with Third Point LLC. We believe that this repositioning will result in lower volatility, while taking advantage of opportunities to improve risk-adjusted returns across asset classes.

Under our investment strategy, our fixed income investments, which comprise the majority of our portfolio, are outsourced to a diversified range of third-party asset managers. Third Point LLC continues to manage the majority of our alternative investments as well as working with us on tailored asset-liability management strategies that are tailored to our risk and capital considerations. We believe that this is a strategic differentiator on our returns, reduces risk and volatility, and creates a portfolio mix more in line with peer property/casualty reinsurers.

Our investment objective is to maximize long-term after-tax total return while (1) limiting the investment risk within prudent risk tolerance thresholds, (2) maintaining adequate liquidity, and (3) complying with the regulatory, rating agency, and internal risk and capital management requirements, all in support of the company goal of meeting policyholder obligations.

Recent Developments & Business Outlook

Acquisition of Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd.

On February 26, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Sirius Group. We accounted for the acquisition of Sirius Group under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 Business Combinations. The total transaction consideration was $1,079.8 million, which was comprised of stock, cash, and other contingent value components. The associated bargain purchase gain from the Sirius Group acquisition was $50.4 million, which represents the excess of the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the total deal consideration. The gain from bargain purchase is included in other revenues in the consolidated statements of income. The bargain purchase determination is consistent with the fact that Sirius Group’s shares traded at a discount to book value and the need for Sirius Group to quickly diversify its ownership base.

Our results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2021 include Sirius Group for the period from February 26, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as our liquidity and capital resources as of December 31, 2021, should be read in that context. In addition, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and financial condition as of December 31, 2021 may not be reflective of the ultimate ongoing business of the combined entities.

We believe that our operating subsidiaries, following the acquisition of Sirius Group, have adequate capital resources in the aggregate, and the ability to produce sufficient cash flows to meet expected claims payments and operational expenses, including but not limited to dividend and interest payments.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $58.8 million of corporate expenses associated with the acquisition of Sirius Group, comprised of $29.7 million of professional and advisory fees and $29.1 million of compensation-related expenses.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the Sirius Group acquisition.

Catastrophe Losses

Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $329.0 million. Excluding $3.0 million of catastrophe losses in Corporate results, catastrophe losses from the operating segments were 18.8 percentage points on the core combined ratio. This includes $133 million for the European floods and $100 million for Hurricane Ida, with a ground-up assessment of client exposed business to each event and a top-down estimate, based on industry loss for each event and an estimate of our market share, and also includes $41 million from June windstorms and winter storm Uri. Sirius Group’s Uri losses fell into the pre-acquisition period, and, if included in the Company’s results, total catastrophe losses would have been $365 million. In January 2022, we exited certain property business that no longer fit our risk profile or meet risk adjusted return criteria. Refer to Part I, Item 1. “Business – Operational Priorities” for additional information. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $36.6 million, or 6.3 percentage points on the core combined ratio, related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events.

Loss Portfolio Transfer

On October 29, 2021, we closed a LPT transaction with Pallas Reinsurance Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the Compre Group, an insurance and reinsurance legacy specialist. As a result of the LPT, we dissolved Sirius Point Global Solutions, Inc., which specialized in the acquisition and management of runoff liabilities for insurance and reinsurance companies, both in the United States and internationally, as well as asbestos and environmental risks and other long-tailed liability exposures.

The LPT covers $362 million of the Company’s loss reserves for the subject business, including much of the legacy Sirius Group runoff portfolio, including asbestos and environmental lines, for a premium of $381 million. We recognized a net Corporate charge of $23 million, including $4 million of federal excise tax expense, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Our transaction with the Compre Group underscores the ongoing transformation of SiriusPoint, our focus on optimizing capital allocation and rebalancing towards insurance and higher margin and growth lines, and provides further certainty on SiriusPoint’s reserve position. Following the completion of the LPT, our net loss reserves from Runoff business were reduced

67

by 48%, although the Company will have continuing exposures to risk from its legacy runoff liabilities. In addition, the LPT, as a reinsurance contract, does not relieve us of our obligation to our insureds.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have a significant effect on the (re)insurance industry. The industry has been impacted by a number of factors including: uncertainties with respect to current and future COVID-19 losses across many classes of insurance business and the amount of insurance losses that may ultimately be ceded to the reinsurance market, supply chain issues, labor shortages and related increased costs, inflation, equity market volatility and ongoing business and financial market impacts of COVID-19 associated economic downturn. We continue to maintain a strong capital position despite the uncertainty associated with COVID-19. We will continue to prudently assess the investment opportunities presented to us, and believe that we are well positioned to continue to deploy our capital efficiently. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on current business in force as well as risks and potential opportunities on future business remains highly uncertain.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $8.7 million (2020 - $46.7 million) of COVID-19 losses, as a result of recognition of losses incurred related to unearned premium converting to earned premium, while our ultimate loss incurred estimates remained unchanged.

Business Outlook

Insurance & Services

The majority of insurance lines we underwrite continue to show significant rate improvement. Although some lines, such as directors & officers, are beginning to experience a slowing of rate momentum, we believe rate is still outpacing loss cost in most lines of business. In select lines, such as cyber, significant rate increases continue due to imbalances between supply and demand. We continue to see strong growth in the program business, with momentum for new MGAs, largely in casualty and specialty lines. Some of this momentum is due to the entrepreneurialism and technology disruption we are witnessing in the primary markets, which is also fueling growth for fronting companies.

The volume of invested capital in the private insurtech market in the first three quarters of 2021 surpassed $10 billion and eclipsed the $7 billion for the full year of 2020. Fundraising rounds of over $100 million continue to represent approximately 50% of total funds raised, generally with a significantly increased number of investors per raise. Prospects of higher interest rates, partially driven by recent high inflation rates, could move capital away from alternative investment categories toward more traditional fixed income asset classes. Publicly traded insurtechs experienced marked declines in valuation multiples in 2021. Some of the decline can be attributed to those companies supporting in-house insurance capital and transitioning away from revenue-based valuations toward valuations based on cash flow or book value. Additionally, the substantial number of cancelled IPO or de-SPAC transactions that took place in 2021 could indicate some limitations on avenues for exit or monetization. Currently, the combination of availability of capital and investors continues to support the valuation and activity in the private insurtech market.

Reinsurance

While the reinsurance markets are benefiting from the positive primary insurance environment, financial results have and continue to be materially affected by elevated levels of catastrophe losses in the property reinsurance market compared to historical averages. This has caused many reinsurers to re-evaluate their positions in property, reducing aggregates and moving away from ground up exposures.

Outside of property, in the casualty and specialty reinsurance markets, rate momentum and performance remain strong, although primary carriers continue to increase retentions, causing erosion in terms passed on to reinsurers. Thus, ceding commissions on pro rata business have increased, muting the benefit of increased rate being passed on to reinsurers. However, the increase in costs for reinsurers furthers the gap in performance between insurance and reinsurance. Conversely, the MGA driven program business that is fueling growth among an increasing universe of fronting carriers continues to rely heavily on reinsurers as a primary source of underwriting capital.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that the following key financial indicators are the most important in evaluating our performance:

20212020
($ in millions, except for per share data and ratios)
Core underwriting loss (1)$(173.6)$(68.7)
Core net services income (1)$11.0$0.4
Core loss (1)$(162.6)$(68.3)
Core combined ratio (1)110.0%111.9%
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders2.3%9.6%
Basic book value per share (1)$14.46$16.88
Tangible basic book value per share (1)$13.38$16.88
Diluted book value per share (1) (2)$14.33$16.71
Tangible diluted book value per share (1)$13.27$16.71

(1)     Core underwriting loss, Core net services income, Core loss and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See definitions in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliations in “Segment Results” below and Note 5 “Segment reporting” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Basic book value per share, tangible basic book value per share, diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See definitions and reconciliations in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

(2)    In the year ended December 31, 2021, we changed the method for calculating the dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options to calculate the dilutive impact in a manner similar to how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. Prior periods presented have been revised to conform to this new presentation. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Core Results

See “Segment Results” below for additional information.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year by the average common shareholders’ equity determined using the common shareholders' equity balances at the beginning and end of the year.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was calculated as follows:

20212020
($ in millions)
Net income available to SiriusPoint common shareholders$44.6$143.5
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - beginning of period$1,563.9$1,414.1
Common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders - end of period2,303.71,563.9
Average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders$1,933.8$1,489.0
Return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders2.3%9.6%

The decrease in return on average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to higher underwriting losses due to third quarter catastrophe events, partially offset by improved investment results.

The average common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by the additional equity issued related to the Sirius Group acquisition.

Basic and Tangible Basic Book Value Per Share

Basic book value per share and tangible basic book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable U.S. GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and calculation.

As of December 31, 2021, basic book value per share was $14.46, representing a decrease of $2.42 per share, or 14.3%, from $16.88 per share as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, tangible basic book value per share was $13.38,

69

representing a decrease of $3.50 per share, or 20.7%, from $16.88 per share as of December 31, 2020. The decreases were primarily due to the dilutive impact of shares and other securities issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Sirius Group, partially offset by net income during the year.

Diluted and Tangible Diluted Book Value Per Share

Diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable U.S. GAAP measures. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we changed the method for calculating the dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options to calculate the dilutive impact in a manner similar to how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation and reconciliations.

As of December 31, 2021, diluted book value per share was $14.33, representing a decrease of $2.38 per share, or 14.2%, from $16.71 per share as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, tangible diluted book value per share was $13.27, representing a decrease of $3.44 per share, or 20.6%, from $16.71 per share as of December 31, 2020. The decreases were primarily due to the dilutive impact of shares and other securities issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Sirius Group, including the acquisition of intangible assets, partially offset by net income during the year.

Consolidated Results of Operations — Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The following table sets forth the key items discussed in the consolidated results of operations section, which includes the results from the Company’s reportable segments and Corporate, and the year over year changes, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Net income$55.8$143.8$(88.0)

The key changes in our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year are discussed below.

Underwriting loss

The increase in total underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by third quarter catastrophe losses from the European floods and Hurricane Ida and a net Corporate charge of $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the Compre LPT. Refer to “Segment Results” for additional information.

Other Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2021, other revenues consisted of $51.1 million of service fee revenue from MGAs, $49.7 million of changes in the fair value of liability-classified capital instruments issued as part of the aggregate consideration for the Sirius Group acquisition and a bargain purchase gain of $50.4 million. The increase in service fee revenue was primarily due to fee revenue from IMG and Armada from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition. The bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the purchase price. The bargain purchase determination is consistent with the fact that Sirius Group’s shares traded at a discount to book value.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the bargain purchase gain recognized as a result of the Sirius Group acquisition and the components of the aggregate consideration.

(1)Consists of our investments in TP Enhanced Fund and TP Venture Fund.

(2)Primarily consists of cash and fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets funds, and sovereign debt, securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain (re)insurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

The main driver for the increase in total investments was the acquisition of Sirius Group on February 26, 2021. In addition, the increase in total investments was driven by the performance of the TP Enhanced Fund. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we redeemed $450.0 million from the TP Enhanced Fund, of which $200.0 million was reallocated to cash and fixed income investments and the remaining $250.0 million was reflected as a redemption receivable as of December 31, 2021. This portfolio repositioning better aligns our investment and underwriting strategies.

Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a list of risks and factors that could adversely impact our investments results.

Net Corporate and Other Expenses

Net corporate and other expenses include services expenses as well as costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and non-underwriting activities. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2021, net corporate and other expenses include costs related to the acquisition of Sirius Group, expected credit losses from the Company’s insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, and a gain from the sale of Cedar Insurance Company (“Cedar”).

The increase in net corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in services expenses, professional and advisory fees and compensation-related expenses associated with the acquisition of Sirius Group, expected credit losses from the Company’s insurance and reinsurance balances receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, and expenses from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $58.8 million (2020 - $16.7 million) of corporate expenses associated with the acquisition of Sirius Group, comprised of $29.7 million of professional and advisory fees and $29.1 million of compensation-related expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $120.5 million of services expenses (2020 - $1.0 million). The increase in the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to services expenses from IMG and Armada from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition, and full year Arcadian expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded current expected credit losses (“CECL”) of $21.0 million (2020 - $0.6 million). The increase in CECL for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group. We recorded an expense to re-establish the acquired company’s current expected credit losses provision. See Note 15 “Allowance for expected credit losses” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the credit loss methodology.

72

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized a $5.8 million gain from the sale of Cedar to Grandview Risk Holdings Ltd. See Note 4 “Significant transactions” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the sale of Cedar.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

The amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to intangible assets recognized as a result of the Sirius Group acquisition. See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on the intangible assets recognized as a result of the Sirius Group acquisition.

Interest Expense

In February 2015, Third Point Re (USA) Holdings, Inc. issued $115.0 million of senior notes bearing 7.0% interest. In November 2016, Sirius Group issued $400.0 million of senior notes bearing 4.6% interest and in September 2017, Sirius Group issued SEK 2,750.0 million floating rate callable subordinated notes. As a result, our consolidated results of operations include interest expense related to the senior and subordinated notes.

The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to $25.9 million of interest expense from the senior notes and the SEK subordinated notes, from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

Foreign Currency Translation

Except for the Canadian reinsurance operations of SiriusPoint America, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for SiriusPoint’s business. Assets and liabilities are converted into the functional currency using current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are converted into the functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. The conversion process results in foreign exchange gains (losses) in the consolidated results of operations.

The foreign exchange gains of $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 were primarily due to the Company’s international operations and from the foreign currency effects of the SEK subordinated notes.

The foreign exchange losses of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 were primarily due to the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves denominated in British pounds to the United States dollar, which weakened in the current year period.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

The income tax benefit of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the income tax expense of $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily driven by the release of the valuation allowance against Swedish foreign tax credits.

As a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group, the Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which the Company's subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Segment Results — Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations. In 2021, we began classifying our business into two reportable segments - Reinsurance and Insurance & Services. Collectively, the sum of these two segments constitute “Core” results.

In addition, the results of all runoff business, including those that have asbestos and environmental (A&E) exposures, certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features and the Compre LPT are included in Corporate.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premiums. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty. The change in accounting policy had no impact on the previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

We measure segment performance as Core income, which is comprised of two components, underwriting income and net services income. Core segment income is the combined total for the Company’s two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written

Core gross premiums written increased by $1,688.7 million, or 301.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in gross premiums written of $1,549.6 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

Core gross premiums written decreased by $21.2 million, or 3.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including certain contracts which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as a result of our shift in underwriting strategy. This decrease was partially offset by new contracts bound in the current year.

Net premiums written

Core net premiums written increased by $1,264.4 million, or 246.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net premiums written of $1,171.4 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

Core net premiums written decreased by $56.1 million, or 9.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including certain contracts which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as a result of our shift in underwriting strategy. The decrease was also due to an increase in gross premiums ceded in the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to one fronted reinsurance treaty, a small number of property catastrophe retro purchases for the purposes of portfolio management and gross premiums ceded of $9.5 million relating to Arcadian.

Net premiums earned

Core net premiums earned increased by $1,151.0 million, or 197.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net premiums earned of $1,207.3 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

Core net premiums earned decreased by $28.8 million, or 4.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a lower in-force underwriting portfolio.

Underwriting results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

We generated a Core underwriting loss of $173.6 million and a Core combined ratio of 110.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a Core underwriting loss of $68.7 million and a Core combined ratio of 111.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in underwriting results was primarily driven by the Reinsurance segment as a result of catastrophe losses from the European floods and Hurricane Ida and the increase in underwriting activity as a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group, partially offset by net favorable prior year loss reserve development.

Core catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $326.0 million, or 18.8 percentage points on the Core combined ratio, including $133 million for the European floods and $97 million for Hurricane Ida, based on our ground-up assessment of client exposed business to each event and a top-down estimate, based on industry loss for each event and an estimate of our market share, and also includes $41 million from June windstorms and winter storm Uri. Core catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $36.6 million, or 6.3 percentage points on the Core combined ratio, related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events.

76

Core net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $32.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change from the prior period was driven by:

•$18.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment as a result of better than expected loss reserve emergence on historical property events relating to multiple accident years and better than expected attritional loss experience; and

•$13.5 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment as a result of better than expected loss experience in A&H for recent accident years.

The change in Core underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 for prior period loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates, after the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs, resulted in a $33.7 million increase in Core underwriting loss. The adverse underwriting loss development for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a result of accumulated loss experience and cedent reserving increases, indicating that underlying casualty loss trends were higher than initial pricing and reserving.

Core COVID-19 losses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $9.6 million compared to $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from the earn in of losses on unearned premium converting to earned premium in our Reinsurance segment, while our ultimate loss incurred estimates remained unchanged.

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

We generated a Core underwriting loss of $68.7 million and a Core combined ratio of 111.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a Core underwriting loss of $26.4 million and a Core combined ratio of 104.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Core underwriting loss was primarily due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, prior year adverse development and higher catastrophe losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred Core catastrophe losses of $36.6 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, or 6.3 percentage points on the Core combined ratio, primarily related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events, compared to $29.0 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, in the year ended December 31, 2019, or 4.7 percentage points on the Core combined ratio, related to Hurricane Dorian, Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and other 2019 catastrophe events.

The change in Core underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 for prior period loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates, after the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs, resulted in a $33.7 million increase in Core underwriting loss, compared to a minimal increase in the Core underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Core COVID-19 losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $46.7 million, net of additional premiums, or 8.0 percentage points on the Core combined ratio. These losses were driven primarily by event cancellation, property business interruption, and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.

Services Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Core services revenue was $133.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of services revenue from IMG and Armada from the date of acquisition of Sirius Group.

We generated Core net services income of $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to net services income from IMG and Armada from the date of acquisition of Sirius Group.

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Core services revenue was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of services revenue from our Bermuda incorporated MGA, Arcadian, in which we invest capital and expertise. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020. There were no MGAs in the year ended December 31, 2019.

77

We generated Core net services income of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to our newly formed MGA, Arcadian.

Reinsurance Segment

Reinsurance consists of our underwriting lines of business which offer Aviation & Space, Casualty, Contingency, Credit & Bond, Marine & Energy, Mortgage, and Property on a worldwide basis. The following table sets forth underwriting results and ratios, and the period over period changes for the Reinsurance segment:

(1)    Underwriting ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net premiums earned.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment increased by $816.3 million, or 152.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in premiums of $928.7 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition. Excluding the premiums from the Sirius Group legacy companies, the decrease in gross premiums written was due to a reduction in property catastrophe excess reinsurance premiums to reduce catastrophic risk exposures in anticipation of the Sirius Group acquisition.

Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment decreased by $41.2 million, or 7.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to one multi-line contract for $96.3 million which no longer fit our underwriting criteria following our shift in underwriting strategy, which we did not renew in the year ended December 31, 2020, partially offset by new property business of $56.0 million.

Underwriting Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The Reinsurance segment generated an underwriting loss of $196.9 million and a combined ratio of 116.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an underwriting loss of $68.3 million and a combined ratio of 111.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily driven by increased catastrophe losses from the European floods and Hurricane Ida and the increase in underwriting activity as a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group, partially offset by net favorable prior year loss reserve development and lower COVID-19 losses.

Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Reinsurance segment were $324.5 million, including $133 million for the European floods and $95 million for Hurricane Ida, based on our ground-up assessment of client exposed business to each event and a top-down estimate, based on industry loss for each event and an estimate of our market share, and also includes $41 million from June windstorms and winter storm Uri. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2020 in the Reinsurance segment were $36.6 million related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events.

78

COVID-19 losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Reinsurance segment were $1.1 million compared to $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from the earn in of losses on unearned premium converting to earned premium.

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $18.6 million in the Reinsurance segment for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of better than expected loss reserve emergence on historical property events relating to multiple accident years and better than expected attritional loss experience.

Net adverse prior year loss reserve development was $37.7 million in the Reinsurance segment for the year ended December 31, 2020 for prior period loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates, after the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs. The adverse underwriting loss development for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a result of accumulated loss experience and cedent reserving increases, indicating that underlying casualty loss trends were higher than initial pricing and reserving.

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The Reinsurance segment generated an underwriting loss of $68.3 million and a combined ratio of 111.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to an underwriting loss of $26.6 million and a combined ratio of 104.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in underwriting loss in the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to $37.7 million of prior year net adverse underwriting loss development relating to certain casualty reserves in response to our accumulated loss experience and the broader industry trends of social inflation, in addition to COVID-19 losses of $46.7 million. COVID-19 losses were driven primarily by event cancellation, property business interruption, and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.

Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the year ended December 31, 2020 in the Reinsurance segment were $36.6 million primarily related to Hurricane Laura and other 2020 catastrophe events, compared to $29.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 related to Hurricane Dorian, Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and other 2019 catastrophe events.

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in the Insurance & Services segment increased by $872.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in premiums of $620.8 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition, and due to an increase in premium written of $183.4 million from Arcadian.

Gross premiums written in the Insurance & Services segment increased by $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to new casualty premium written of $19.0 million in the period from Arcadian.

Underwriting Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The Insurance & Services segment generated underwriting income of $23.3 million and a combined ratio of 95.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an underwriting loss of $0.4 million and a combined ratio of 105.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in underwriting results for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily driven by underwriting income from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition. A&H continues to benefit from favorable loss ratio trends in its healthcare products due to the recognition of lower healthcare utilization rates that we attribute to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to minimal adverse prior year loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change from the prior period was a result of better than expected loss experience in A&H for recent accident years.

80

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The Insurance & Services segment generated an underwriting loss of $0.4 million and a combined ratio of 105.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to underwriting income of $0.2 million and a combined ratio of 95.8% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Services Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Services revenue was $133.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of services revenue from IMG and Armada from the date of acquisition of Sirius Group.

We generated net services income of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to net services income from IMG and Armada from the date of acquisition of Sirius Group.

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Services revenue was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of services revenue from Arcadian. Arcadian commenced operations on October 1, 2020. There were no MGAs in the year ended December 31, 2019.

We generated net services income of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to our newly formed MGA, Arcadian.

Corporate

Corporate includes the results of all runoff business, which represent certain classes of business that we no longer actively underwrite, including those that have A&E and other latent liability exposures and certain reinsurance contracts that have interest crediting features. Corporate also includes the results from the Compre LPT for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth underwriting results and the year over year changes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

Premium Volume

Gross premiums written in Corporate decreased by $40.7 million, or 140.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by reduction of $30.0 million from the impact of restructuring one retroactive reinsurance contract that was previously written and fully earned. The decrease in net premiums earned from the reduction in retroactive exposures in this reinsurance contract was offset by a similar decrease in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and acquisition costs

Gross premiums written in Corporate decreased by $58.7 million, or 67.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily driven by retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts that were written and fully earned of $28.9 million compared to $87.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Underwriting Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Corporate generated an underwriting loss of $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an underwriting loss of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We recognized a net charge of $23 million, including $4 million of federal excise tax expense, in the fourth quarter of 2021 relating to the Compre LPT. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2021, other underwriting expenses include expenses associated with the Compre LPT and $5.1 million of accelerated expenses related to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance contracts.

Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $4.0 million net favorable prior year loss reserve development for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change from the prior period was a result of better than expected loss experience on property and contingency classes of business moved to runoff in 2021.

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Corporate generated an underwriting loss of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to an underwriting loss of $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures, including core underwriting income, core net services income, core income, core combined ratio, basic book value per share, tangible basic book value per share, diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding of our underlying business. These measures are used by management to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included below.

Core Results

Collectively, the sum of the Company's two segments, Reinsurance and Insurance & Services, constitute "Core" results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is important 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.

Core underwriting income - calculated by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Core net services income - consists of services revenues which include commissions, brokerage and fee income related to consolidated MGAs, and other revenues, services expenses which include direct expenses related to consolidated MGAs, services non-controlling income which represent minority ownership interests in consolidated MGAs, and net investment gains from Strategic Investments at fair value which are net investment gains/losses from investment in our strategic partners. Net services income is a key indicator of the profitability of the Company's services provided, including investment returns on non-consolidated investment positions held.

Core income - consists of two components, core underwriting income and core net services income. Core income is a key measure of our segment performance.

Core combined ratio - calculated by dividing the sum of Core loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by Core net premiums earned. This ratio is a key indicator of our underwriting profitability.

See Note 5 “Segment reporting” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information and a calculation of Core income (loss).

Basic Book Value Per Share, Tangible Basic Book Value Per Share, Diluted Book Value Per Share, Tangible Diluted Book Value Per Share

In the year ended December 31, 2021, we changed the method for calculating the dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options to calculate the dilutive impact in a manner similar to how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. This change had no impact on previously presented basic book value per share. The following table shows the revised diluted book value per share compared to the diluted book value per share as previously presented:

December 31, 2020December 31, 2019
Diluted book value per share$16.71$15.19
Diluted book value per share, as previously presented16.4215.04
Difference$0.29$0.15

Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of issued unvested restricted shares, at period end. While restricted shares are outstanding, they are excluded from Basic book value per share because they are unvested.

Tangible basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. The Company's management believes tangible book value per share is useful to investors because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of intangible assets.

Diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share, as presented, are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated similar to the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. The dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options are calculated in a manner consistent with how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. We have also followed a similar approach for calculating dilution for warrants, Series A preference shares, Upside Rights and other potentially dilutive securities issued as part of our acquisition of Sirius Group. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they measure the realizable value of shareholder returns in a manner consistent with how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. Management believes that effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Also, the tangible diluted book value per share is useful because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Impact of Sirius Acquisition on Liquidity and Capital Resources

On February 26, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Sirius Group. We believe that our operating subsidiaries, following the acquisition of Sirius Group, have adequate capital resources in the aggregate, and the ability to produce sufficient cash flows to meet expected claims payments and operational expenses, including but not limited to interest payments, for the next twelve months from cash flows generated from operating activities and investment income. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future if we determine that it would be an efficient part of our capital structure.

Liquidity Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. SiriusPoint’s insurance and reinsurance operations are subject to regulation and supervision in each of the jurisdictions where they are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad supervisory and administrative powers over such matters as licenses, standards of solvency, premium rates, policy forms, investments, security deposits, methods of accounting, form and content of financial statements, reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance, minimum capital and surplus requirements, dividends and other distributions to shareholders, periodic examinations and annual and other report filings. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. SiriusPoint manages its liquidity needs primarily through the maintenance of a short duration and high quality fixed income portfolio.

SiriusPoint is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of its investments in subsidiaries. Its cash needs primarily consist of the payment of corporate expenses, interest payments on senior and subordinated notes, strategic investment opportunities and dividends to preference shareholders. SiriusPoint may

84

also require cash to fund share repurchases. Cash at the subsidiaries is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs, interest expense, taxes, general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments. The insurance and reinsurance business of our operating subsidiaries inherently provide liquidity, as premiums are received in advance of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency/high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted our ability to meet liquidity, regulatory capital requirements or other contractual commitments.

Dividend Capacity

SiriusPoint’s ability to pay expenses or dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries operate, as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. See Note 23 “Statutory requirements” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2021, SiriusPoint received $74.0 million (2020 - $135.2 million) of distributions from SiriusPoint Bermuda Insurance Company Ltd. (“SiriusPoint Bermuda”), its immediate wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe the dividend/distribution capacity of SiriusPoint’s subsidiaries, which was approximately $844.4 million as of December 31, 2021, will provide SiriusPoint with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the regulatory and other contractual constraints to paying dividends, we manage the capital of the group and each of our operating subsidiaries to support our current ratings from AM Best, Fitch and S&P’s. This could further reduce the ability and amount of dividends that could be paid from subsidiaries to SiriusPoint.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, SiriusPoint did not pay any dividends to its common shareholders.

Sources of Liquidity

Our operating subsidiaries sources of liquidity have primarily consisted of net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and proceeds from sales of or dividends or distributions attributable to investments.

We believe the liquidity profile of the net investments underlying the TP Enhanced Fund, the Company’s rights under the Third Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement among SiriusPoint and SiriusPoint Bermuda effective February 26, 2021 (the “2020 LPA”) to withdraw from the TP Enhanced Fund and the operating cash on hand will provide us with sufficient liquidity to manage our operations. TP Enhanced Fund’s investment portfolio is concentrated in tradable securities and is marked to market each day. Pursuant to the investment guidelines as specified in the 2020 LPA, at least 60% of our portfolio must be invested in securities of publicly traded companies and governments of Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development high income countries, asset-backed securities, cash, cash equivalents and gold and other precious metals. Under the 2020 LPA, the Company has the right to withdraw funds monthly from TP Enhanced Fund to meet capital adequacy requirements and to satisfy financing obligations. The Company may also withdraw its investment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2020 LPA, including to meet capital adequacy requirements, to prevent a negative credit rating, for risk management purposes or to satisfy financing obligations, subject to certain limitations on such withdrawals as specified in the 2020 LPA, and may withdraw its investment in full on the first quarter end date after the 5-year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition of Sirius Group (i.e. March 31, 2026) and each successive two-year anniversary of such date. The Company is also entitled to withdraw funds from the TP Enhanced Fund in order to satisfy its risk management guidelines, upon prior written notice to TP GP, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the sum of (x) the aggregate opening balances of our capital account and (y) the aggregate amount of capital contributions credited to our capital account.

Effective February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a 3-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent. As of December 31, 2021, there

85

were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, SiriusPoint was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Facility.

Financing

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, investment returns and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt and equity instruments as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are summarized below.

Series A Preference Shares

On February 26, 2021, certain holders of Sirius Group shares elected to receive Series A preference shares as consideration with respect to the Sirius Group acquisition. The Company issued 11,720,987 of designated Series A preference shares, with a par value of $0.10 per share. The Series A preference shares rank pari passu with the Company’s common shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions. Each Series A preference share has voting power equal to the number of Company shares into which it is convertible, and the Series A preference shares and Company shares vote together as a single class with respect to any and all matters.

As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Series A preference shares was $20.4 million and is reflected in liability-classified capital instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not declare or pay dividends to Series A preference shareholders.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

On February 26, 2021, the previous Sirius Group preference shareholders exchanged their existing Series B preference shares of Sirius Group in return for 8,000,000 new Series B preference shares, par value $0.10, of the Company. Dividends on the Series B preference shares will be cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at an initial rate of 8.0%. The preference shareholders will have no voting rights with respect to the Series B preference shares unless dividends have not been paid for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, in which case the holders of the Series B preference shares will have the right to elect two directors.

On June 28, 2021 and August 12, 2021, the Company entered into Underwriting Agreements with the Series B preference shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Selling Shareholders sold to the public market an aggregate of 8,000,000 Series B preference shares.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2021, $1,117.0 million of letters of credit had been issued. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements and a minimum rating from rating agencies. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, in any of the letter of credit facilities, we could be prohibited from paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the aforementioned letters of credit facilities as of December 31, 2021.

See Note 16 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

Cash Secured Letter of Credit Agreements

Under the cash secured letter of credit facilities, we provide collateral that consists of cash and cash equivalents and debt securities. As of December 31, 2021, total cash and cash equivalents and debt securities with a fair value of $1,266.8 million were pledged as collateral against the letters of credit issued.

We believe that we have adequate capacity between our existing cash secured letter of credit agreements as well as available investments to post in reinsurance trusts to meet our collateral obligations under our existing and future reinsurance business.

For further details and discussion with respect to cash secured letter of credit agreements, see Note 16 “Debt and letter of credit facilities” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less. We invest a portion of the collateral securing certain reinsurance contracts in U.S. treasury securities and sovereign debt. This portion of the collateral is included in debt securities in the consolidated balance sheets and is disclosed as part of restricted investments. In addition, restricted investments also pertain to limited partnership interests in TP Enhanced Fund securing the Company’s contractual obligations under certain reinsurance contracts that the Company will not be released from until the underlying risks have expired or have been settled.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments increased by $781.3 million, or 61.3%, to $2,055.6 million as of December 31, 2021 from $1,274.3 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of reinsurance contracts that required collateral as a result of the acquisition of Sirius Group.

For additional information on restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, see Note 6 “Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (l) premiums collected and investment income and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased, underwriting and other expenses paid. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income (loss) and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us and other factors. Due to the nature of our underwriting portfolio, claim payments can be unpredictable and may need to be made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are collected. In addition, as discussed above, SiriusPoint has access to the $300.0 million Facility that provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements and retrocessional agreements.

88

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

20212020
($ in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$1.6$73.3
Net cash provided by investing activities208.66.0
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities24.3(19.4)

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year1,713.91,654.0
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year$1,948.4$1,713.9

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables and the payment of losses and loss expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to payments of losses and loss expenses, partially offset by an increase in premiums received and due to transaction related payments for professional and advisory fees relating to the Sirius Group acquisition.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily relates to the acquisition of Sirius Group, which comprised of $740.3 million of cash and restricted cash acquired, partially offset by $108.4 million of cash consideration. Additionally, the Company redeemed $200.0 million of investments from its related party investment funds. Offsetting the cash provided by investments were purchases of fixed income investments which exceeded sales and maturities during the period. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily relates to investment activity from the opportunistic credit portfolio.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily consisted of cash receipts of $48.6 million from the issuance of SiriusPoint common shares pursuant to the equity commitment letter between the Company, Third Point Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. and Daniel S. Loeb in connection with closing of the acquisition of Sirius Group. Cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily consisted of $20.2 million from payments on deposit liability contracts.

See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for a more detailed discussion on the Sirius Group acquisition.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2021, total shareholders’ equity was $2,503.3 million compared to $1,565.3 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Sirius Group. See Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a more detailed discussion on the Sirius Group acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and estimations by management are: (1) premium revenue recognition, including evaluation of risk transfer, (2) loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, (3) fair value measurements related to our investments, (4) valuation of loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to the Value of Business Acquired (“VOBA”) and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition, and (5) income taxes. If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition Including Evaluation of Risk Transfer

Premium Estimates

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premiums. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. For contracts where the full premium written was not estimable at inception, the Company recorded premium written for the portion of the contract period for which the amount was estimable.

90

The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty consistent with the timing of when the ceding company has recognized the written premiums. Premiums written include amounts reported by brokers and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company's own estimates of premiums where reports have not been received. The determination of premium estimates requires a review of the Company's experience with the ceding companies, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, an analysis and understanding of the characteristics of each class of business and management's judgment of the impact of various factors, including premium or loss trends, on the volume of business written and ceded to the Company. On an ongoing basis, the Company's underwriters review the amounts reported by these third parties for reasonableness based on their experience and knowledge of the subject class of business, taking into account the Company's historical experience with the brokers, ceding companies or MGAs. See Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on premium revenue recognition and the retrospective impact from the change in accounting policy on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts may also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize including commutation provisions, multi-year contracts with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other cases by mutual consent. We regularly monitor the premium estimates for each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums, discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

The following table summarize premium estimates and related commissions and expenses by segment as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

20212020

Total$1,269.4$(319.6)$949.8$326.4$(120.7)$205.7

Risk Transfer

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to recognizing premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial pricing models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we use deposit accounting.

(1)Excludes deferred charges on retroactive reinsurance contracts.

In order to reduce the potential uncertainty of loss reserve estimation, we obtain information from numerous sources to assist in the reserving process for both our reinsurance and primary business. Our underwriters and pricing actuaries devote considerable effort to understanding and analyzing a ceding company or MGA’s operations and loss history during the underwriting of the business, using a combination of client and industry statistics. Such statistics normally include historical premium and loss data by class of business, individual claim information for larger claims, distributions of insurance limits provided and the risk characteristics of the underlying insureds, loss reporting and payment patterns and rate change history. In cases where there is limited history or no history for a particular cedent, we rely on other available information based on industry data or other sources. Our analysis is used to project expected ultimate loss ratios for each contract or MGA during the upcoming contract period, which are considered in the loss reserving process.

We rely heavily on information reported by MGAs and ceding companies, as discussed above. In order to determine the accuracy and completeness of such information, our underwriters, actuaries, and claims personnel perform audits of certain MGAs and ceding companies, where customary. Generally, ceding company audits are not customary outside the United States. In such cases, we review information from ceding companies for unusual or unexpected results. Any material findings are discussed with the ceding companies. We sometimes encounter situations where it is determined that a claim presentation from a ceding company is not in accordance with contract terms. Most situations are resolved without the need for litigation or arbitration. However, in the infrequent situations where a resolution is not possible, SiriusPoint defends its position in such arbitration or litigation.

See Note 13 “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding loss and loss adjustment expense reserves including reserving methodologies.

As part of our risk management process, we periodically engage external actuarial and claims consultants to independently evaluate the adequacy of the net carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Management considers the results of the independent analysis as a supplement to internal recommendations when determining carried loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve amounts.

The following table details our prior year loss reserve development of liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Insurance & Services(13.5)0.1
Corporate(10.5)(4.0)
Total net unfavorable (favorable) development$(42.6)$33.8

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2021

The $42.6 million net decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by:

•$18.6 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Reinsurance segment as a result of better than expected loss reserve emergence on historical property events relating to multiple accident years and better than expected attritional loss experience;

92

•$13.5 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in the Insurance & Services segment as a result of better than expected loss experience in A&H for recent accident years; and

•$10.5 million of net favorable prior year reserve development in Corporate as a result of better than expected loss experience on property and contingency classes moved to runoff in 2021.

Loss and loss adjustment expense development - 2020

The $33.8 million net increase in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes $18.8 million increase in loss reserves resulting from increases in premium earnings estimates on certain contracts and $15.0 million of net adverse reserve development related to increases in loss reserve estimates. In total, the change in net underwriting loss for prior periods due to loss reserve development and adjustments to premium earnings estimates, after the impact of any offsetting changes in acquisition costs as a result of sliding scale or profit commissions, resulted in a $30.5 million increase in the net underwriting loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. The adverse underwriting loss development was a result of accumulated loss experience and cedent reserving increases, indicating that underlying casualty loss trends were higher than initial pricing and reserving.

Sensitivity Analysis

Actual Results vs. Initial Estimates

Generally, initial actuarial estimates of IBNR reserves not related to a specific large event are based on the loss ratio method applied to each class of business. SiriusPoint regularly reviews the adequacy of its recorded reserves by using a variety of generally accepted actuarial methods, including historical incurred and paid loss development methods. Estimates of the initial expected ultimate losses involve management judgment and are based on historical information for that class of business, which includes loss ratios, market conditions, changes in pricing and conditions, underwriting changes, changes in claims emergence, and other factors that may influence expected ultimate losses. If actual loss activity differs substantially from expectations, an adjustment to recorded reserves may be warranted. As time passes, loss reserve estimates for a given year will rely more on actual loss activity and historical patterns than on initial assumptions.

For major events, particularly natural catastrophe, SiriusPoint develops assessments of the ultimate losses associated with each individual event. Estimates are based on information from ceding companies, third party and internal catastrophe models, and by applying overall estimates of insured industry losses to SiriusPoint's exposure information.

Changes in all estimates will be recorded in the period in which the changes occur. In accident years where the updated estimates are lower than our initial estimates, we experience favorable development. Conversely, in accident years where the revised estimates are higher than our original estimates, there is adverse development on prior accident year reserves.

Potential Variability in Loss Reserve Estimates

There are possible variations from current estimates of loss reserves due to changes in key assumptions. In order to quantify the potential volatility in the loss reserve estimates, SiriusPoint employs a stochastic simulation approach to produce a range of results around the central estimate and estimated probabilities of possible outcomes. Both the probabilities and the related modeling are subject to inherent uncertainties. The simulation relies on a significant number of assumptions, such as variation in historical loss development patterns and industry losses for major events, potential mis-estimation of the initial expected loss ratios during the pricing process, and unanticipated inflation.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2"), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3").

The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet

93

established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. See Note 7 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Strategic Investments

We value our Strategic Investments at fair value, except for those that are consolidated. The fair value of these Strategic Investments are valued quarterly based on a combination of observable and unobservable market data inputs and entity specific financial data.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s Strategic Investments totaled $215.3 million. See Note 7 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments.

Investments measured using Net Asset Value

We value our investments in limited partnerships, including our investments in related party investment funds, at fair value. We have elected the practical expedient for fair value for these investments which is estimated based on our share of the NAV of the limited partnerships, as provided by the independent fund administrator, as we believe it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for the investment assets and liabilities. The NAV represents our proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the limited partnerships.

The fair value of our investments in certain hedge funds and certain private equity funds are also determined using NAV. The hedge fund's administrator provides quarterly updates of fair value in the form of our proportional interest in the underlying fund's NAV, which is deemed to approximate fair value, generally with a three month delay in valuation. The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. Due to a lag in reporting, some of the fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company's reporting date. This includes utilizing preliminary estimates reported by its fund managers and using other information that is available with respect to the underlying investments, as necessary.

See Note 7 “Fair value measurements” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements related to investments measured using NAV.

Valuation of components of purchase consideration, loss and adjustment expenses reserves and intangible assets relating to VOBA and other intangible assets as part of the Sirius Group acquisition

Purchase consideration

As a part of the total consideration related to the acquisition of Sirius Group, the Company issued various financial instruments, including preference shares, warrants, and other contingent value components, as discussed further in Note 3 “Acquisition of Sirius Group”.

The majority of these instruments were valued utilizing model simulations that included assumptions around equity volatility and other market-based inputs. The Series B preference shares were valued by considering the results of three separate analyses: (i) a comparison to the observed market yields on similar publicly traded preferred shares of other insurance industry peers; (ii) a build-up method whereby an appropriate yield is based on a base level plus incremental amounts for relative risk and liquidity factors; and (iii) a comparison to the observed or implied yields of other securities in the SiriusPoint capital structure.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves

As a part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized an adjustment to the acquired loss and loss adjustment reserves of $80.6 million to reflect the fair value of the acquired reserves as of the acquisition date. The adjustment to loss reserves is included in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in our consolidated balance sheets and is based on the present value of future payments plus a risk margin.

94

Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of loss reserves using historical loss payment patterns and risk margins. As of December 31, 2021, the unamortized fair value adjustment to loss reserves was $65.6 million. On an annual basis, or as other factors necessitate such as an assessment, we evaluate the fair value adjustment to loss reserves for impairment. As of December 31, 2021, there were no indicators of impairment.

VOBA

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, we recognized VOBA of $147.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, VOBA had a carrying value of $50.0 million and amortization of $97.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 was recorded in acquisition costs, net in the consolidated statements of net income. The VOBA related asset is included in deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, net on our consolidated balance sheet.

Management determined the fair value of the VOBA intangible asset by calculating the difference between the unearned premium reserve and estimated risk-adjusted future losses and expenses associated with the policies and contracts that were in-force as of the closing date of the acquisition, discounted to present value. Management applied judgment in estimating the VOBA intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions related to the discount rate and expected profitability associated with the unearned premium reserve, which includes an associated risk margin.

VOBA is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations.

There was no evidence of potential impairment of the VOBA intangible asset as of December 31, 2021.

Intangible Assets

As part of the acquisition of Sirius Group, SiriusPoint recognized identifiable intangible assets. As of December 31, 2021, these identifiable intangible assets had a carrying value of $171.9 million and consisted of the following, and are included in intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

•Distribution relationships - refers to the relationships Sirius Group has established with external independent distributors and brokers to facilitate the distribution of its products in the marketplace. As a result of owning the distribution relationships, management will not have to duplicate historical marketing, training, and start-up expenses to redevelop comparable relationships to support business operations. The fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach. Management applied judgement in estimating the fair value of the distribution relationships intangible asset, which involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins (which are used to determine the amount and timing of expected future cash flows);

•MGA relationships - refers to relationships with managing general agents on the direct insurance business. Through the MGA relationships, Sirius Group generates a predictable and recurring stream of service fee revenue. The fair value of the MGA relationships intangible asset was determined using a variation of the income approach, which involved the use of assumptions related to the discount rate and customer attrition rate, as well as the expected revenue growth rates and profitability margins;

•Lloyd’s Capacity - Syndicate 1945 - relates to relationships associated with the right to distribute and market policies underwritten through Lloyd’s Syndicate 1945. The Lloyd’s Capacity intangible asset was valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Insurance licenses - Sirius Group, like other insurance providers, is required to maintain licenses to produce and service insurance contracts. Insurance licenses are estimated to have an indefinite life and are therefore not amortized, but are subject to periodic impairment testing. The insurance licenses were valued using the market comparable transaction method;

•Trade name - represents the value of the Sirius Group brand acquired. The trade names intangible asset was valued using the relief from royalty method; and

•Internally developed and used computer software - represents the value of internally developed and used computer software utilized by the Company.

95

Intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Such events or circumstances may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations.

There was no evidence of potential impairment of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

Prior to the acquisition of Sirius Group on February 26, 2021, we had one operating subsidiary incorporated in Bermuda, Third Point Re USA, which made an election to pay tax in the United States of America under Section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Subsequent to the acquisition of Sirius Group, we have subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries and branches are subject to tax are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Recoverability of Net Deferred Tax Asset

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, we consider factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that, if executed, would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to the deferred tax assets and tax expense.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. In evaluating the more likely than not recognition threshold, we must presume that the tax position will be subject to examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. If the recognition threshold is met, then the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the total reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $10.7 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017.

Earnings of Certain Subsidiaries

SiriusPoint has capital and liquidity in many of its subsidiaries, some of which may reflect undistributed earnings. If such capital or liquidity were to be paid or distributed to us or our subsidiaries, as dividends or otherwise, they may be subject to income or withholding taxes. Sirius Group generally intends to operate, and manage its capital and liquidity, in a tax-efficient manner. However, the applicable tax laws in the relevant countries are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, including in response to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") guidance. Accordingly, such payments or earnings may be subject to income or withholding tax in jurisdictions where they are not currently taxed or at higher rates of tax than currently taxed, and the applicable tax authorities could also attempt to apply income or withholding tax to past earnings or payments.

See Note 17 “Income taxes” in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information on income taxes.
