SiriusPoint S&P Global Ratings Outlook Revised to ‘Stable’
November 09 2023 - 9:15AM
SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SPNT), a
global specialty insurer and reinsurer, has had its ratings outlook
revised from ‘Negative’ to ‘Stable’ by S&P Global Ratings
(S&P).
S&P’s decision to revise its ratings outlook to ‘Stable’
reflects its “expectation that SiriusPoint will continue to post
strong and improving underwriting results in 2023-2025, with
combined ratios around 95% and capital maintained at the 'AA'
level.”
Commenting on the ratings outlook, Scott Egan, CEO, SiriusPoint,
said: "S&P's decision to revise our outlook to 'Stable’
recognizes the hard work of our people, their dedication and our
collective effort to establish a stable platform for 2024 and
beyond.
“This is an important moment in our journey, and the outcome
demonstrates that we are taking the right actions to strengthen our
business. We have built both capital and cultural resilience, we
have executed well against our strategy, and we have proof points
to be proud of. We thank our colleagues, investors, clients, and
partners for their belief and support in our business.”
SiriusPoint is currently attributed an ‘A-’ insurer financial
strength rating and a 'BBB' long-term issuer credit rating by
S&P. SiriusPoint continues to benefit from a strong capital
position above the 'AA' confidence level based on S&P’s
risk-based capital model.
On the future, Mr. Egan said: “We’re just over a year into our
journey. Our focus remains on simplifying our business, reducing
volatility and ultimately, continuing to build profitability. While
we’re making great strides, there is still work to be done but I’m
confident in our plans for the future.”
In the past year SiriusPoint has strengthened its Executive
Leadership Team, Senior Leadership Team, and the wider business
with a number of new appointments and internal promotions. Mr. Egan
became Chief Executive Officer and a board member of the Company in
September 2022.
