ITEM 2.02 DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On July 31, 2024, the registrant issued a news release announcing its second quarter 2024 results. A copy of that news release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The news release furnished herewith contains information regarding the registrant’s operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) differs from net income (loss) attributable to Everest Group, Ltd., the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principle financial measure, by the exclusion of net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense). Management believes that presentation of operating income (loss) provides useful information to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the registrant’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from both the management of the registrant’s investment portfolio and the fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, management, analysts and investors use operating income (loss) to evaluate the financial performance of the registrant and the insurance industry in general.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including exhibits, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.

•Gross written premiums grew 16.5% on a constant dollar basis and excluding reinstatement premiums, to approximately $3.2 billion. Growth was broad-based across geographies and lines as we continue to execute with precision and leverage our leading franchise.
•Growth was driven by a 31.4% increase in Property Pro-Rata, 25.0% in Property Catastrophe XOL, and 19.6% in Casualty Pro-Rata (driven by increased rate), when adjusting for reinstatement premiums
•Attritional loss ratio improved 60 basis points over last year to 57.0%, while the attritional combined ratio improved 30 basis points to 84.4% versus a year ago.
•Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $120 million net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, driven primarily by a number of mid-sized international events.
•Risk-adjusted returns remain very attractive, particularly in property and specialty lines.

Insurance Segment – Quarterly Highlights
•Gross written premiums rose to $1.5 billion, a 5.8% increase year-over-year in constant dollars. Our International business continued to gain traction, and we received regulatory approval for new operations in Australia, Colombia, and Mexico.
•As we continue to proactively change our mix of business, growth was driven by a 31.1% increase in Property/Short Tail and 26.0% in Other Specialty, led by growth in aviation, energy, surety, and construction. Growth was partially offset by a decrease of 37.4% in Accident and Health and 18.0% in Workers' Compensation as we continue to focus on lines of business with better expected margins.
•Attritional loss ratio improved 70 basis points over last year to 63.7%.
•Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $15 million, net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, a modest increase over the prior year quarter, which benefited from benign catastrophe losses.
•Pricing continues to exceed loss trend in aggregate.
•There was a meaningful acceleration in pricing across North American long-tail lines (excluding financial lines).

The Company generally uses after-tax operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its performance. After-tax operating income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding after-tax net gains (losses) on investments and after-tax net foreign exchange income (expense) as the following reconciliation displays:

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