Segment highlights

Reinsurance

Operating highlights for Reinsurance for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 include:

Gross written premiums of $145.3 million, a decrease of 17.5% from $176.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013

Combined ratio of 82.7% compared with 58.6% for the fourth quarter of 2013

Prior year favorable reserve development of $23.4 million, or 8.9 combined ratio points, compared with $46.1 million prior year favorable loss reserve development, or 16.2 combined ratio points, for the fourth quarter of 2013

The combined ratio of 82.7% for the fourth quarter of 2014 included $15.0 million, or 5.7 percentage points, of pre-tax catastrophe losses. The combined ratio of 58.6% for the fourth quarter of 2013 included $29.4 million, or 10.4 percentage points, of pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance recoveries. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014 the Reinsurance accident year ex-catastrophe loss ratio was 52.8% compared with 36.3% a year ago.(1) There was a higher frequency of non-correlated mid-sized losses of $29.8 million in the quarter which accounted for 11.3 percentage points on the loss ratio.

Stephen Postlewhite, CEO of Reinsurance, commented on the year, “Reinsurance had a very strong performance in 2014. For the full year we grew premiums slightly while achieving an accident year ex cat loss ratio of 50.9%. At the important January 1, 2015 renewal season we continued our trajectory of modest growth while maintaining

2



our underwriting discipline. As a result of our client relationships and access to risk, we were able to withdraw capital from areas where rates and terms and conditions did not meet our requirements and deploy it in areas where the business was better rated. While there was continued rate pressure in Property Cat we were able to renew the rest of our book, which accounts for approximately 70% of the total renewal, with rates down only 3%. Our strategic positioning, focused on product and regional diversification has resulted in an ability to access and select the better priced risks to retain. We were also able to write a meaningful amount of new, well rated business.  As we navigate the marketplace, we anticipate capitalizing on our established regional strategy and continuing to grow in Asia and Latin America as well as expanding our Aspen Capital Markets offerings and leveraging our access to third party capital.”

Insurance

Operating highlights for Insurance for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 include:

Gross written premiums of $470.1 million, an increase of 9.8% compared with $428.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013

Combined ratio of 97.1% compared with 121.6% for the fourth quarter of 2013

Prior year reserve strengthening of $11.9 million, or an adverse impact of 3.4 combined ratio points, compared with prior year reserve strengthening of $25.6 million, or an adverse impact of 8.9 combined ratio points, for the fourth quarter of 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2014, there was adverse prior year development in the Marine, Aviation and Energy line of business.

Gross written premiums increased across all sub-segments, especially Property and Casualty and Marine, Aviation and Energy lines, primarily resulting from the continued growth from the U.S. teams. The U.S. Insurance teams produced profitable results for the second consecutive year and achieved a loss ratio of 58.4% for 2014.

The combined ratio of 97.1% for the fourth quarter of 2014 included $0.7 million, or 0.2 percentage points, of pre-tax catastrophe losses related to U.S. storms. The combined ratio for the fourth quarter of 2013 included $5.3 million, or 1.9 percentage points, of pre-tax catastrophe losses related to U.S. storms. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014 the Insurance accident year ex catastrophe loss ratio improved 17.9 percentage points to 56.3% compared with 74.2% a year ago.(1)

Mario Vitale, CEO of Insurance, commented, “2014 was a year of continued progress for the Insurance segment. We had top line growth of 14% while achieving flat rates across the book from a year ago and an 8 point improvement in combined ratio. Our Insurance business is reaping the benefits of prior investments. Our International business continues to service niche markets with close to $500 million of the business placed through our established Lloyd's platform. This quarter marks two years of profitability for our U.S. platform, which had a loss ratio of 56.7% for the fourth quarter and 58.4% for 2014.  For the year, the U.S. platform delivered net earned premium of $529.0 million with a G&A ratio of 18.3%. We are now on track to achieve $600 million of net earned premium and surpass our previously stated goal of $550 million net earned premium by the end of 2015. At that time, we expect a corresponding G&A ratio of approximately 16%.”(2)

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity was $3.4 billion at December 31, 2014.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, 1,398,727 ordinary shares were repurchased under a Rule 10b5-1 plan at an average price of $42.87 per share for a total cost of $60.0 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, a total of 4,289,857 ordinary shares were repurchased at an average price of $42.16 per ordinary share for a total cost of $180.9 million.
Aspen today announced that its Board of Directors has replaced its existing share repurchase authorization with a new authorization of $500 million. The total share repurchase authorization, which is effective immediately through February 6, 2017, permits Aspen to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of transactions, including open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions and accelerated share repurchase transactions.
Outlook
Aspen expects to achieve an operating return on equity of 11% in 2015(2).
Commenting on Aspen’s outlook, Chris O’Kane, Chief Executive Officer, said: “In Insurance, where rate environments differ by line and geography, our International insurance business has been successful in targeting niche areas where business is well rated and our U.S. platform continues to gain scale with increased profitable growth. We maintained our disciplined underwriting approach during the January Reinsurance renewal season as we reduced our book where rates and terms did not meet our return requirements while achieving meaningful growth in areas where overall return remain attractive. In 2015, we will remain sharply focused on driving Operating Return on Equity and Book Value growth. We currently expect an operating return on equity of 11% in 2015. We expect to continue to utilize repurchases and dividends as appropriate to return to shareholders excess capital that cannot be deployed in the business at our required rates of return.”(2)

During the January 2015 renewal season, Aspen underwrote $531.3 million in gross written premiums in Reinsurance, an increase of 2.1% compared with the prior year. The renewal data does not include U.S. agriculture premiums.

Forward-looking Statements Safe Harbor
This press release contains, and Aspen’s earnings conference call will contain, written or oral “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the US federal securities laws. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “do not believe,” “aim,” “project,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” “likely,” “assume,” “estimate,” “may,” “continue,” “guidance,” “objective,” “outlook,” “trends,” “future,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “target” and similar expressions of a future or forward-looking nature.

All forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions, estimates and data concerning future results and events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside Aspen’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.
 
All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties.  Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Aspen believes these factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully implement steps to further optimize the business portfolio, ensure capital efficiency and enhance investment returns; the possibility of greater frequency or severity of claims and loss activity, including as a result of natural or man-made (including economic and political risks) catastrophic or material loss events, than our underwriting, reserving, reinsurance purchasing or investment practices have anticipated; the assumptions and uncertainties underlying reserve levels that may be impacted by future payments for settlements of claims and expenses or by other factors causing adverse or favorable development; the reliability of, and changes in assumptions to, natural and man-made catastrophe pricing, accumulation and estimated loss models; decreased demand for our insurance or reinsurance products and cyclical changes in the insurance and reinsurance industry; the models we use to assess our exposure to losses from future natural catastrophes contain inherent uncertainties and our actual losses may differ significantly from expectations; our capital models may provide materially different indications than actual results;
increased competition from existing insurers and reinsurers and from alternative capital providers and insurance-linked funds and collateralized special purpose insurers on the basis of pricing, capacity, coverage terms, new capital, binding authorities to brokers or other factors and the related demand and supply dynamics as contracts come up for renewal; our ability to execute our business plan to enter new markets, introduce new products and develop new distribution channels, including their integration into our existing operations; our acquisition strategy; the recent consolidation in the (re)insurance industry; loss of one or more of our senior underwriters or key personnel; changes in our ability to exercise capital management initiatives (including our share repurchase program) or to arrange banking facilities as a result of prevailing market conditions or changes in our financial position; changes in the availability, cost or quality of reinsurance or retrocessional coverage; changes in general economic conditions, including inflation, deflation, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other factors that could affect our financial results; the risk of a material decline in the value or liquidity of all or parts of our investment portfolio; the risks associated with the management of capital on behalf of investors; evolving issues with respect to interpretation of coverage after major loss events; our ability to adequately model and price the effects of climate cycles and climate change; any intervening legislative or governmental action and changing judicial interpretation and judgments on insurers’ liability to various risks; the risks related to litigation; the effectiveness of our risk management loss limitation methods, including our reinsurance purchasing; changes in the total industry losses, or our share of total industry losses, resulting from past events and, with respect to such events, our reliance on loss reports received from cedants and loss adjustors, our reliance on industry loss estimates and those generated by modeling techniques, changes in rulings on flood damage or other exclusions as a result of prevailing lawsuits and case law; the impact of one or more large losses from events other than

12



natural catastrophes or by an unexpected accumulation of attritional losses and deterioration with loss estimates; the impact of acts of terrorism, acts of war and related legislation; any changes in our reinsurers’ credit quality and the amount and timing of reinsurance recoverables; the continuing and uncertain impact of the current depressed lower growth economic environment in many of the countries in which we operate; our reliance on information and technology and third-party service providers for our operations and systems; the level of inflation in repair costs due to limited availability of labor and materials after catastrophes; a decline in our operating subsidiaries’ ratings with S&P, A.M. Best or Moody’s; the failure of our reinsurers, policyholders, brokers or other intermediaries to honor their payment obligations; our reliance on the assessment and pricing of individual risks by third parties; our dependence on a few brokers for a large portion of our revenues; the persistence of heightened financial risks, including excess sovereign debt, the banking system and the Eurozone crisis; changes in government regulations or tax laws in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in accounting principles or policies or in the application of such accounting principles or policies; increased counterparty risk due to the credit impairment of financial institutions; and Aspen or Aspen Bermuda Limited becoming subject to income taxes in the United States or the United Kingdom. For a more detailed description of these uncertainties and other factors, please see the “Risk Factors” section in Aspen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2014.  Aspen undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made.

In addition, any estimates relating to loss events involve the exercise of considerable judgment and reflect a combination of ground-up evaluations, information available to date from brokers and cedants, market intelligence, initial tentative loss reports and other sources. The actuarial range of reserves and management’s best estimate represents a distribution from our internal capital model for reserving risk based on our then current state of knowledge and explicit and implicit assumptions relating to the incurred pattern of claims, the expected ultimate settlement amount, inflation and dependencies between lines of business. Due to the complexity of factors contributing to the losses and the preliminary nature of the information used to prepare these estimates, there can be no assurance that Aspen’s ultimate losses will remain within the stated amount.

(1)Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting Aspen’s results, management has included and discussed certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is defined in Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain Aspen’s results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in Aspen’s business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included in the financial supplement, which can be obtained from the Investor Relations section of Aspen’s website at www.aspen.co.

Annualized Operating Return on Average Equity (“Operating ROE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Operating ROE is calculated using operating income, as defined below, and average equity is calculated as the arithmetic average on a monthly basis for the stated periods of shareholders’ equity excluding the aggregate value of the liquidation preferences of our preference shares net of issuance costs and the total amount of non-controlling interest. Aspen presents Operating ROE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.

See page 23 of Aspen’s financial supplement for a reconciliation of operating income to net income and page 7 for a reconciliation of average ordinary shareholders’ equity to average shareholders’ equity. Aspen’s financial supplement can be obtained from the Investor Relations section of Aspen’s website at www.aspen.co.

Operating Income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Operating income is an internal performance measure used by Aspen in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized and unrealized capital gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts and certain non-recurring items. In 2014, non-recurring items included costs associated with defending the unsolicited approach from Endurance Specialty

13



Holdings Ltd. in the amounts of $Nil and $28.5 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Aspen excludes the items above from its calculation of operating income because they are either not expected to recur and therefore are not reflective of underlying performance or the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. Aspen believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them would distort the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, Aspen believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Aspen’s results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes Aspen’s underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 23 of Aspen’s financial supplement for a reconciliation of operating income to net income. Aspen’s financial supplement can be obtained from the Investor Relations section of Aspen’s website at www.aspen.co.

Diluted Book Value per Ordinary Share is not a non-GAAP financial measure. Aspen has included diluted book value per ordinary share as it illustrates the effect on basic book value per share of dilutive securities thereby providing a better benchmark for comparison with other companies. Diluted book value per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, defined on page 22 of Aspen’s financial supplement, which can be obtained from the Investor Relations section of Aspen’s website at www.aspen.co.

Diluted Operating Earnings per Share and Basic Operating Earnings per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Aspen believes that the presentation of diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share supports meaningful comparison from period to period and the analysis of normal business operations. Diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share are calculated by dividing operating income by the diluted or basic weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. See page 23 of Aspen’s financial supplement for a reconciliation of diluted and basic operating earnings per share to basic earnings per share. Aspen’s financial supplement can be obtained from the Investor Relations section of Aspen’s website at www.aspen.co.

Combined Ratio Excluding Catastrophes is a non-GAAP financial measure. Aspen has presented loss ratios both including and excluding the impact from catastrophe losses to aid in the analysis of the underlying performance of our segments. Aspen has defined catastrophe losses in 2014 as losses associated with winter storms in the U.S., snowstorms in Japan and flooding in the U.K. which occurred in the first and second quarter of 2014, North American and European storms in the third quarter of 2014 and North American, Asian and Australian storms in the fourth quarter of 2014. We have defined major 2013 catastrophe losses as losses associated with floods in Central Europe, Canada and India, as well as tornadoes and hailstorms in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2013, hailstorms in Germany and floods in Canada and Mexico in the third quarter of 2013, and storms and associated flooding in Europe, India and the Philippines in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Accident Year Loss Ratio Excluding Catastrophes is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Aspen believes that the presentation of loss ratio excluding catastrophes and prior year reserve movements supports meaningful comparison from period to period of the underlying performance of the business.  Accident year loss ratio excluding catastrophes is calculated by dividing net losses excluding catastrophe losses, net expenses and prior year reserve movements by net earned premiums excluding catastrophe related reinstatement premiums.  Aspen has defined the major 2014 catastrophe losses as losses associated with North American, European, Asian and Australian storms and flood losses in the U.K. We have defined major 2013 catastrophe losses as losses associated with floods in Central Europe, Canada and India, as well as tornadoes and hailstorms in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2013, hailstorms in Germany and floods in Canada and Mexico in the third quarter of 2013, and storms and associated flooding in Europe, India and the Philippines in the fourth quarter of 2013.

(2) The outlook for 2015 assumes normal loss experience, our current view of interest rates and our prospective view of the insurance rate environment. Our outlook in 2015 is necessarily subject to heightened sensitivity in relation to these assumptions which are likely to be the subject of future change, amendment, update and review, as necessary. For example, our assumptions for rising interest rates in 2015 are subject to and dependent upon the anticipated and actual monetary policy decisions taken by the central banks in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our assumptions are also based on the retention of our senior underwriters and client relationships. In addition, the models underlying our normal loss experience assumptions will produce different illustrative loss patterns if the modeling assumptions are changed. Recent decreases in pricing in certain business lines, if sustained, are also expected to have an adverse effect on operating return on equity. This outlook is subject to change for many reasons, including unusual or unpredictable items, such as catastrophe losses, loss reserve development, investment results and other items.

ASPEN INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED
Basis of Presentation
 
 
 
 
Definitions and presentations: All financial information contained herein is unaudited except for information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Unless otherwise noted, all data is in U.S. dollar millions, except for per share amounts, percentages and ratio information.
 
 
 
 
In presenting Aspen's results, management has included and discussed certain "non-GAAP financial measures", as such term is defined in Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain Aspen's results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in Aspen's business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included in this financial supplement.
 
 
 
 
Operating income (a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure): Operating income is an internal performance measure used by Aspen in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized and unrealized capital gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps, after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts and certain non-recurring items. In 2014, non-recurring items included costs associated with defending the unsolicited approach from Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd. in the amounts of $Nil and $28.5 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. In 2013, these non-recurring items included issue costs associated with the redemption of the 5.625% Preferred Income Equity Redemption Securities ("PIERS") and a $9.3 million make-whole payment associated with the redemption of the $250.0 million 6.0% coupon Senior Notes due to mature on August 15, 2014.
 
 
 
 
Aspen excludes these items above from its calculation of operating income because they are either not expected to recur and therefore are not reflective of underlying performance or the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. Aspen believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them would distort the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, Aspen believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Aspen's results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes Aspen's underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income. Please see page 23 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income.
 
 
 
 
Annualized operating return on average equity (“Operating ROE”) (a non-GAAP financial measure): Operating ROE is calculated using operating income, as defined above, and average equity is calculated as the arithmetic average on a monthly basis for the stated periods of shareholders' equity excluding the aggregate value of the liquidation preferences of our preference shares net of issuance costs and the total amount of non-controlling interest.
 
 
 
 
Aspen presents Operating ROE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information. See page 23 for a reconciliation of operating income to net income and page 7 for a reconciliation of average ordinary shareholders' equity to average shareholders' equity.
 
 
 
 
Diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share (non-GAAP financial measures): Aspen believes that the presentation of diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share supports meaningful comparison from period to period and the analysis of normal business operations. Diluted operating earnings per share and basic operating earnings per share are calculated by dividing operating income by the diluted or basic weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. See page 23 for a reconciliation of diluted and basic operating earnings per share to basic earnings per share.
 
 
 
 
Diluted book value per ordinary share (not a non-GAAP financial measure): Aspen has included diluted book value per ordinary share as it illustrates the effect on basic book value per share of dilutive securities thereby providing a better benchmark for comparison with other companies. Diluted book value per share is calculated using the treasury stock method as defined on page 22.
 
 
 
 
 
Underwriting ratios (GAAP financial measures): Aspen, along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of net claims and claims adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (commissions, premium taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwriting expenses) to net premiums earned. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of losses and expenses, respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of earned premium. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstrates underwriting loss.
 
 
 
 
GAAP combined ratios differ from U.S. statutory combined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third-party acquisition expenses for GAAP reporting purposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisition expense and the general and administrative expense ratios.

(1) In 2012, the Company adopted the provision of ASU 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” Under the standard, the Company is required to expense the proportion of its general and administrative deferred acquisition costs not directly related to successful business acquisition. The application of this standard has resulted in a net $16.0 million write down of deferred acquisition costs through retained earnings brought forward and the restatement of our quarterly balance sheets from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011.
(2) Includes the net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from foreign exchange contracts.
 
(3) Includes the net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from interest rate swaps.

Worldwide Natural Catastrophe Exposures: Major Peril Zones as at January 1, 2015
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 in 100 year tolerance: 17.5% of total shareholders' equity
 
1 in 250 year tolerance: 25.0% of total shareholders' equity
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Based on shareholders' equity of $3,418.8 million (excluding non-controlling interest) as at December 31, 2014. The estimates reflect Aspen's own view of the modelled maximum losses ("PML's") at the return periods shown which include input from various third party vendor models and our own proprietary adjustments to these models. Catastrophe loss experience may materially differ from the modelled PML’s due to limitations in one or more of the models or uncertainties in the application of policy terms and limits.
