ASPEN INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.History and Organization

Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen Holdings”) was incorporated on May 23, 2002 as a holding company headquartered in Bermuda. We underwrite specialty insurance and reinsurance on a global basis through our Operating Subsidiaries (as defined below) based in Bermuda, the United States and the United Kingdom: Aspen Bermuda Limited (“Aspen Bermuda”), Aspen Specialty Insurance Company (“Aspen Specialty”), Aspen American Insurance Company (“AAIC”), Aspen Insurance UK Limited (“Aspen UK”) and Aspen Underwriting Limited (“AUL”) (as corporate member of our Lloyd’s operations, Syndicate 4711, which are managed by Aspen Managing Agency Limited (“AMAL”) (together, “Aspen Lloyd’s”)), each referred to herein as an “Operating Subsidiary” and collectively referred to as the “Operating Subsidiaries”. We also have branches in Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. We established Aspen Capital Management, Ltd. (“ACML”) and other related entities (collectively, “ACM”) to leverage our existing underwriting franchise, increase our operational flexibility and provide third-party investors direct access to our capital markets and underwriting expertise. References to the “Company,” the “Group,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Aspen Holdings or Aspen Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Since February 2019, the Company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Highlands Bermuda Holdco, Ltd. (“Parent”), which holds all of the Company’s ordinary shares. Parent, a Bermuda exempted company, is an affiliate of certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., a leading global investment manager (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”). The Company’s preference shares and depositary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the following symbols: AHL PRC, AHL PRD and AHL PRE.

2.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aspen Holdings and its subsidiaries. Transactions between Aspen Holdings and its subsidiaries are eliminated within the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The balance sheet as at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024 (File No. 001-31909).

Assumptions and estimates made by management have a significant impact on the amounts reported within the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these assumptions and estimates relate to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance recoverables, gross written premiums and commissions which have not been reported to the Company such as those relating to proportional treaty reinsurance contracts, unrecognized tax benefits, the fair value of derivatives and the fair value of other investments. All material assumptions and estimates are regularly reviewed and adjustments made as necessary, but actual results could differ significantly from those expected when the assumptions or estimates were made.

To facilitate period-to-period comparisons, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statement amounts to conform to the current year presentation. There was no effect on net income from this change in presentation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Segment Reporting

The Company manages its underwriting operations as two business segments: Aspen Reinsurance and Aspen Insurance. The Company has determined its reportable segments by taking into account the manner in which management makes operating decisions and assesses operating performance. Profit or loss for each of the Company’s business segments is measured by underwriting income or loss. Underwriting profit is the excess of net earned premiums over the sum of losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses. Underwriting income or loss provides a basis for management to evaluate the segment’s underwriting performance.

Reinsurance Segment. The reinsurance segment consists of property catastrophe reinsurance, other property reinsurance, casualty reinsurance and specialty reinsurance.

For a more detailed description of this business segment, refer to the Item 4, “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Aspen Reinsurance” in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

Insurance Segment. The insurance segment consists of first party insurance, specialty insurance, casualty and liability insurance, financial and professional lines insurance and other insurance. The other insurance business line includes Aspen Underwriting Limited’s participation as a corporate member in Carbon Syndicate 4747, and the Company’s digital follow capacity offered through Ki’s Lloyd’s platform. For a more detailed description of this segment, refer to the Item 4, “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Aspen Insurance” in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

Non-underwriting Disclosures. The Company provides additional disclosures for corporate and other (non-operating) income and expenses. Corporate and other income and expenses include: corporate and other expenses, non-operating expenses, net investment income, realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, changes in fair value of derivatives, interest expenses, net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, and income tax expenses. These income and expense items are not allocated to the Company’s business segments as they are not directly related to the Company’s business segment operations and is consistent with how management measures the performance of its segments. The Company does not allocate its assets by business segment as we evaluate underwriting results of each segment separately from the results of our investment portfolio.

The Company uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of acquisition costs to net earned premiums. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition cost ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio.

The following tables provide a summary of gross and net written and earned premiums, underwriting income or loss, ratios and reserves for each of the Company’s business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

At September 30, 2024, 781 available for sale securities were in an unrealized loss position of $143.5 million, of which $0.4 million was related to securities below investment grade or not rated.

The unrealized losses of $143.5 million were predominantly due to non-credit factors and are expected to be recovered as the related securities approach maturity. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance included in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The framework prioritizes the inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, into three levels.

The Company considers prices for actively traded securities to be derived based on quoted prices in an active market for identical assets, which are Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The majority of these securities are valued using prices supplied by pricing services.

The Company considers prices for other securities that may not be as actively traded which are priced via pricing services, vendors and broker-dealers, or with reference to interest rates and yield curves, to be derived based on inputs that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The majority of these securities are also valued using prices supplied by pricing services.

The Company considers securities, other financial instruments, privately-held investments and derivative insurance contracts subject to fair value measurement whose valuation is derived by internal valuation models to be based largely on unobservable inputs, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the level within the fair value hierarchy at which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

As a result this has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. The investment in the real estate funds is subject to restrictions as detailed in Note 13(a), “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”

Transfers of assets into or out of a particular level are recorded at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period consistent with the date of the determination of fair value.

There were no transfers into, or out of, Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

There were no transfers into, or out of, Level 3 during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Valuation of Fixed Income Securities. The Company’s fixed income securities are classified as either available for sale or trading and are reported at fair value. As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s fixed income securities were valued by pricing services or broker-dealers using standard market conventions. The market conventions utilize market quotations, market transactions in comparable instruments and various relationships between instruments including, but not limited to, yield to maturity, dollar prices and spread prices in determining value.

Independent Pricing Services. The underlying methodology used to determine the fair value of securities in the Company’s available for sale and trading portfolios is by the pricing services. Pricing services will gather observable pricing inputs from multiple external sources, including buy and sell-side contacts and broker-dealers, in order to develop their internal prices.

Table of Contents

Pricing services provide pricing for less complex, liquid securities based on market quotations in active markets. Pricing services supply prices for a broad range of securities including those for actively traded securities, such as treasury and other government securities, in addition to those that trade less frequently or where valuation includes reference to credit spreads, pay down and pre-pay features and other observable inputs. These securities include government agency, municipals, corporate and asset-backed securities.

For securities that may trade less frequently or do not trade on a listed exchange, these pricing services may use matrix pricing consisting of observable market inputs to estimate the fair value of a security. These observable market inputs include reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic factors. Additionally, pricing services may use a valuation model such as an option adjusted spread model commonly used for estimating fair values of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Company does not derive dollar prices using an index as a pricing input for any individual security.

Broker-dealers. The Company obtains quotes from broker-dealers who are active in the corresponding markets when prices are unavailable from independent pricing services or index providers. Generally, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable market inputs. Their pricing methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads and performance of newly issued securities. They may also establish pricing through observing secondary trading of similar securities. Quotes from broker-dealers are non-binding.

The Company obtains prices for all of its fixed income securities via its third-party accounting service provider, and in the majority of cases receiving a number of quotes so as to obtain the most comprehensive information available to determine a security’s fair value. A single valuation is applied to each security based on the vendor hierarchy maintained by the Company’s third-party accounting service provider.

As at September 30, 2024, the Company obtained an average of 3.3 quotes per fixed income security compared to 2.9 quotes at December 31, 2023.

The Company, in conjunction with its third-party accounting service provider, obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the third-party pricing service and index providers to assess the ongoing appropriateness of vendors’ prices. The Company and its third-party accounting service provider also have controls in place to validate that amounts provided represent fair values. Processes to validate and review pricing include, but are not limited to:

•quantitative analysis (e.g., comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark, with significant differences identified and investigated);

•comparison of market values obtained from pricing services and broker-dealers against alternative price sources for each security where further investigation is completed when significant differences exist for pricing of individual securities between pricing sources;

•initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; and

•comparison of the fair value estimates to the Company’s knowledge of the current market.

Prices obtained from pricing services and broker-dealers are not adjusted by us; however, prices provided by a pricing service, or broker-dealer in certain instances may be challenged based on market or information available from internal sources, including those available to the Company’s third-party investment accounting service provider. Subsequent to any challenge, revisions made by the pricing service or broker-dealer to the quotes are supplied to the Company’s investment accounting service provider.

Management reviews the vendor hierarchy maintained by the Company’s third-party accounting service provider in order to determine which price source provides the most appropriate fair value (i.e., a price obtained from a pricing service with more seniority in the hierarchy will be used over a less senior one in all cases). The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Company’s available for sale and trading portfolios is based upon its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date. The hierarchy of pricing services is determined using various qualitative and quantitative points arising from reviews of the vendors conducted by the Company’s third-party accounting service provider. Vendor reviews include annual due diligence meetings with index providers and pricing services vendors covering valuation methodology, operational walkthroughs and legal and compliance updates.

Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities are traded on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market based on prices provided by one or more market makers in each security. Securities such as U.S. Government, U.S. Agency, Foreign Government and investment grade corporate bonds have multiple market makers in addition to readily observable market value indicators such as expected credit spread, except for Treasury securities, over the yield curve. The Company uses a variety of pricing sources to value fixed income securities including those securities that have pay down/prepay features such as mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities in order to ensure fair and accurate pricing. The fair value estimates for the investment grade securities in the Company’s portfolio do not use significant unobservable inputs or modeling techniques.

Table of Contents

U.S. Government and Agency Securities. U.S. government and agency securities consist primarily of bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and corporate debt issued by agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank. As the fair values of U.S. Treasury securities are based on unadjusted market prices in active markets, they are classified as Level 1. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are priced using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified as Level 2.

Municipal Securities. The Company’s municipal portfolio consist of bonds issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipality entities. The fair value of these securities is determined using spreads obtained from broker-dealers, trade prices and the new issue market which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Consequently, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Non-U.S. Government Securities. The issuers for securities in this category are non-U.S. governments and their agents including, but not limited to, the U.K., Australia, Canada, France and Germany. The fair values of certain non-U.S. government bonds, primarily sourced from international indices, are based on unadjusted market prices in active markets and are therefore classified as Level 1. The remaining non-U.S. government bonds are classified as Level 2 as they are not actively traded. The fair values of the non-U.S. agency securities, again primarily sourced from international indices, are priced using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-U.S. agency securities are classified as Level 2. In addition, foreign government securities include a portion of the Emerging Market Debt (“EMD”) portfolio which is also classified as Level 2.

Corporate Securities. Corporate securities consist primarily of short-term, medium-term and long-term debt issued by U.S. and foreign corporations covering a variety of industries and are generally priced by index providers and pricing vendors. Some issuers may participate in government programs which guarantee timely payment of principal and interest in the event of a default. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. Inputs used in the evaluation of these securities include credit data, interest rate data, market observations and sector news, broker-dealer quotes and trade volumes. In addition, corporate securities include a portion of the EMD portfolio. The Company classifies these securities as Level 2.

Mortgage-backed Securities. Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities consist of bonds issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the FNMA and the FHLMC. The fair values of these securities are determined through the use of a pricing model (including Option Adjusted Spread) which uses prepayment speeds and spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the mortgage-backed security. These spreads are generally obtained from broker-dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Asset-backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are securities backed by notes or receivables against assets other than real estate. The underlying collateral for the Company’s asset-backed securities consists mainly of student loans, automobile loans and credit card receivables. These securities are primarily priced by index providers and pricing vendors. Inputs to the valuation process include broker-dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, interest rate data and credit spreads. The Company classifies these securities as Level 2.

Short-term Investments. Short-term investments consist of highly liquid debt securities with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. Short-term investments are classified as either trading or available for sale according to the facts and circumstances of the investment held. Short-term investments are valued in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed income securities and are classified within Levels 1 and 2.

Privately-held Investments. Privately-held investments are initially valued at cost or transaction value which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these securities are determined using discounted cash flow models. These models include inputs that are specific to each investment. The inputs used in the fair value measurements include dividend or interest rates and appropriate discount rates. The selection of an appropriate discount rate is judgmental and is the most significant unobservable input used in the valuation of these securities. A significant increase (decrease) in this input in isolation could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement for privately-held investments. In order to assess the reasonableness of the inputs the Company uses in the discounted cash flow models, the Company maintains an understanding of current market conditions, issuer specific information that may impact future cash flows as well as collaboration with independent vendors for most securities to assess the reasonableness of the discount rate being used.

Catastrophe Bonds. Catastrophe bonds are variable rate fixed income instruments with redemption values adjusted based on the occurrence of a covered event, usually windstorms and earthquakes. Catastrophe bonds are classified as trading and reported at fair value. Catastrophe bonds are priced using an average of multiple broker-dealer quotes and as such, are classified as Level 2.

Foreign Exchange Contracts.

Derivative Liabilities — Loss Portfolio Transfer. The LPT embedded derivative is valued using the Black-Scholes model. The two primary inputs of this model are expected claim settlement patterns and expected return of the investment portfolio above a fixed minimum rate over the specified time horizon. The expected claim settlement pattern is determined on an actuarial basis for the cohort of business within scope of the LPT and is consistent with the patterns used in the valuation of technical provisions. The expected return of the investment portfolio, above a fixed minimum rate, directly impacts on the LPT derivative valuation and is subject to changes in market conditions. In order to assess the reasonableness of the inputs, the Company updates the expected claim settlement patterns on a regular basis whilst maintaining an understanding of the current market conditions.

Other Investments. The Company’s other investments represent our investments in investment funds operating strategies across real estate, infrastructure and direct lending. Adjustments to the fair values are made based on the net asset value of the investments. The net valuation criteria established by the manager of such investments are established in accordance with the governing documents and the asset manager’s valuation guidelines, which include: the discounted cash flows method and the performance multiple approach, which uses a multiple derived from market data of comparable companies or assets to produce operating performance metrics. Alternative valuation methodologies may be employed for investments with unusual characteristics.

Reinsurance

The Company purchases retrocession and reinsurance to limit the Company’s risk exposure and to increase its own insurance and reinsurance underwriting capacity. These agreements provide for recovery of losses and loss adjustment expenses from reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that reinsurers do not meet their obligations under these agreements. In line with its risk management objectives, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

Balances pertaining to reinsurance transactions are reported “gross” on the consolidated balance sheet, meaning that reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and ceded unearned premiums are not deducted from insurance reserves but are recorded as assets.

The effect of ceded reinsurance on premiums written, premiums earned and losses and loss adjustment expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk associated with our operating expenses but also foreign exchange risk associated with net assets or liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A foreign exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Foreign exchange contracts will not eliminate fluctuations in the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies but rather allow it to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time.

As at September 30, 2024, the Company held foreign exchange contracts that were not designated as hedges under ASC 815 with an aggregate notional amount of $1,585.0 million (December 31, 2023 — $1,802.9 million). The foreign exchange contracts are recorded as derivative assets or derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet with changes recorded as a change in fair value of derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of foreign exchange contracts on net income was a gain of $32.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively (September 30, 2023 — loss of $35.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively).

As at September 30, 2024, the Company held foreign exchange contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815 with an aggregate notional amount of $40.6 million (December 31, 2023 — $76.9 million).

As the foreign exchange contracts settle, the realized gain or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income into general, administration and corporate expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount recognized within general, administration and corporate expenses for settled foreign exchange contracts was a loss of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively (September 30, 2023 — loss of $2.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively).

Embedded Derivative on Loss Portfolio Contract. The loss portfolio transfer contract includes a funds withheld arrangement that provides returns to the reinsurer based on Aspen’s investment performance, guaranteeing a minimum return of 1.75%. Such funds withheld arrangements are examples of embedded derivatives and therefore this instrument is accounted for as an option-based derivative. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount recognized as a change in fair value of derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations was a gain of $5.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively (September 30, 2023 — gain of $Nil and $8.3 million, respectively).

______________

(1) Investable assets comprise total investments, cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest, receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased.

Investment Funds. The Company invests in investment funds which, as is typical for this type of investment, have lock-up periods. A lock-up period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to remain invested before having the ability to redeem. As at September 30, 2024, the lock-up periods across these funds range from one quarter to several years. Thereafter these funds could also be redeemed on a pro-rata basis depending on the liquidity position of the fund. There are no assurances as to when the Company may be able to withdraw, in whole or in part, its redemption request from the fund.

Letters of Credit. The Company’s current arrangements with our bankers for the issue of letters of credit require us to provide collateral in the form of cash and investments for the full amount of all secured and undrawn letters of credit that are outstanding. We monitor the proportion of our otherwise liquid assets that are committed to trust funds or to the collateralization of letters of credit. As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these funds amounted to approximately 46.0% of the $7.7 billion and approximately 50.2% of the $7.5 billion of investable assets held by the Company, respectively. We do not consider that this unduly restricts our liquidity at this time.

Funds at Lloyd’s. AUL operates at Lloyd’s as the corporate member for Syndicate 4711. AUL also participates in underwriting activities of Carbon Syndicate 4747. Lloyd’s determines required regulatory capital by considering the underwriting activities that AUL participates in. Such capital, called Funds at Lloyd’s, consists of investable assets as at September 30, 2024 in the amount of $476.4 million (December 31, 2023 — $517.4 million).

Table of Contents

The amounts provided as Funds at Lloyd’s will be drawn upon and become a liability of the Company in the event of Syndicate 4711 declaring a loss at a level that cannot be funded from other resources, or if Syndicate 4711 requires funds to cover a short-term liquidity gap. The amount which the Company provides as Funds at Lloyd’s is not available for distribution to the Company for the payment of dividends. Aspen Managing Agency Limited, the managing agent to Syndicate 4711, is also required by Lloyd’s to maintain a minimum level of capital which as at September 30, 2024 was £0.4 million (December 31, 2023 — £0.5 million). This is not available for distribution by the Company for the payment of dividends.

U.S. Reinsurance Trust Fund. For its U.S. reinsurance activities, Aspen UK has established and must retain a multi-beneficiary U.S. trust fund for the benefit of its U.S. cedants so that they may take financial statement credit without the need to post cedant-specific security. The minimum trust fund amount is $20.0 million plus an amount equal to 100% of Aspen UK’s U.S. reinsurance liabilities, which were $689.3 million as at September 30, 2024 and $823.5 million as at December 31, 2023. As at September 30, 2024, the balance (including applicable letter of credit facilities) held in the trust was $1,016.5 million (December 31, 2023 — $1,016.9 million).

Aspen Bermuda has also established and must retain a multi-beneficiary U.S. trust fund for the benefit of its U.S. cedants so that they may take financial statement credit without the need to post cedant-specific security. The minimum trust fund amount is $20.0 million plus an amount equal to 100% of Aspen Bermuda’s liabilities to its U.S. cedants which was $246.2 million and $320.6 million as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As at September 30, 2024, the balance held in the U.S. trust fund and other Aspen Bermuda trusts was $329.3 million (December 31, 2023 — $394.7 million).

U.S. Surplus Lines Trust Fund. Aspen UK and Syndicate 4711 have also established a U.S. surplus lines trust fund with a U.S. bank to secure liabilities under U.S. surplus lines policies. The balance held in trust as at September 30, 2024 was $141.2 million (December 31, 2023 — $126.6 million).

U.S. Regulatory Deposits. As at September 30, 2024, Aspen Specialty had a total of $6.9 million (December 31, 2023 — $6.8 million) on deposit with six U.S. states in order to satisfy state regulations for writing business in those states. AAIC had a further $6.5 million (December 31, 2023 — $6.4 million) on deposit with twelve U.S. states.

Canadian Trust Fund. Aspen UK has established a Canadian trust fund with a Canadian bank to secure a Canadian insurance license. As at September 30, 2024, the balance held in trust was CAD$249.6 million ($184.8 million) (December 31, 2023 — CAD$228.4 million).

Australian Trust Fund. Aspen UK has established an Australian trust fund with an Australian bank to secure policyholder liabilities and as a condition for maintaining an Australian insurance license. As at September 30, 2024, the balance held in trust was AUD$90.0 million ($62.4 million) (December 31, 2023 — AUD$131.0 million).

Swiss Trust Fund. Aspen UK has established a Swiss trust fund with a Swiss bank to secure policyholder liabilities and as a condition for maintaining a Swiss insurance license. As at September 30, 2024, the balance held in trust was CHF7.5 million ($8.9 million) (December 31, 2023 — CHF9.9 million).

Singapore Fund. Aspen UK has established a segregated Singaporean bank account to secure policyholder liabilities and as a condition for maintaining a Singaporean insurance license and meet local solvency requirements. As at September 30, 2024, the balance in the account was SGD$200.6 million ($156.5 million) (December 31, 2023 — SGD$192.1 million).

(b) Contingent liabilities

In common with the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, the Company is also subject to litigation and arbitration in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s Operating Subsidiaries are regularly engaged in the investigation, conduct and defense of disputes, or potential disputes, resulting from questions of insurance or reinsurance coverage or claims activities. Pursuant to insurance and reinsurance arrangements, many of these disputes are resolved by arbitration or other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Such legal proceedings are considered in connection with estimating the Company’s Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses, as provided on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

In some jurisdictions, noticeably the U.S., a failure to deal with such disputes or potential disputes in an appropriate manner could result in an award of “bad faith” punitive damages against the Company’s Operating Subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC 450-20-50-4b, for (a) reasonably possible losses for which no accrual is made because any of the conditions for accrual in ASC 450-20-25-2 are not met and (b) reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued pursuant to ASC 450-20-30-1, the Company will provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made.

As at September 30, 2024, based on available information the probability of the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened litigation or arbitrations having a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity is remote.

15. Subsequent Events

On October 10, 2024, a large storm system (Hurricane Milton) made landfall in Florida and caused substantial wind damage over a wide area. Based solely on the Company’s modeled loss projections, industry loss estimates and exposure analysis as of the date of this report, the Company’s preliminary assessment of pre-tax losses associated with Hurricane Milton is expected to be between $40 million and $60 million, net of outwards reinsurance and reinstatement premiums. The Company’s actual losses from Hurricane Milton may differ materially from this preliminary estimate due to limitations in one or more of the models and because, as a recent large storm event, this preliminary estimate is not based on actual terms and conditions of individual treaties and policies expected to be impacted, future loss information expected to follow from clients and brokers, further market intelligence, or any loss reports. The final settlement of claims associated with Hurricane Milton is likely to take place over a considerable period of time.

See the “Risk Factors” section in Aspen’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC, which should be deemed incorporated herein, and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in this report.

(1) The adjusted combined ratio and adjusted underwriting income remove the impact of the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance contracts in order to match the loss recoveries under the LPT contract with the underlying loss development of the assumed net loss reserves for the subject business of 2019 and prior accident years. The adjusted combined ratio and adjusted underwriting income represent the performance of our business for accident years 2020 onwards, which management believe reflects the underlying underwriting performance of the ongoing portfolio.

Consolidated Group Result - Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Gross written premiums

The following table sets forth the gross written premiums for our two business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
Business Segment	2024			2023
	( in millions)	% change		( in millions)
Reinsurance		13.3	%
Insurance	700.6	13.9	%	615.2
Total		13.6	%

All values are in US Dollars.

Overall gross written premiums increased by 13.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross written premiums in our reinsurance segment increased by 13.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to growth in renewals and new business growth in the casualty reinsurance and other property reinsurance lines of business. Gross written premiums in our insurance segment increased by 13.9% primarily due to new business activity, partially offset by a deterioration in market conditions in management liability and transaction liability globally.

Ceded written premiums

The following table sets forth the ceded written premiums for our two business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
Business Segment	2024			2023
	( in millions)	% change		( in millions)
Reinsurance		43.5	%
Insurance	290.7	17.3	%	247.8
Total		25.2	%

All values are in US Dollars.

Total ceded written premiums in the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $89.1 million, or 25.2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Changes in our reinsurance program decreased our retention ratio, which is defined as net written premiums as a percentage of gross written premiums, from 64.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 60.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Ceded reinsurance premiums increased for our reinsurance segment, primarily due to an increase in the level of reinsurance purchased to protect our casualty reinsurance and other property reinsurance business lines, including higher cessions to our capital market partners. Ceded reinsurance premiums increased for our insurance segment largely in line with gross written premiums, with no material changes to the segment’s reinsurance programs.

Net earned premiums

The following table sets forth the net earned premiums for our two business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

Reinsurance		0.6	%
Insurance	404.8	9.9	%	368.2

All values are in US Dollars.

Net earned premiums increased by $38.3 million, or 5.8%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to a $81.0 million increase in gross earned premiums partially offset by a $42.7 million increase in ceded earned premiums.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

We have presented the different components of the loss ratios, including adjusting for the impact of the LPT, which includes changes in retroactive reinsurance contracts as we believe that the presentation of adjusted loss ratios reflects the underlying performance of the ongoing portfolio. Additionally, we have also presented current year loss ratios (excluding the impact of catastrophe losses), the impact of catastrophe losses and prior year development for accident years that are not covered by the LPT.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023

(1) Adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses and the adjusted loss ratio are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules and regulations. The calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the table above. Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further details.

The overall loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of 67.9% increased by 2.7 percentage points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and losses and loss adjustment expenses increased from $430.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $474.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was mainly due to the following:

Current accident year losses, excluding the impact of catastrophe losses. Current accident year losses, excluding the impact of catastrophe losses, contributed $387.5 million or 55.6 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $358.0 million or 54.2 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses contributed $54.8 million or 7.9 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $55.6 million or 8.4 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Catastrophe losses in the three months ended September 30, 2024 include losses associated with Hurricane Helene and other weather-related events. Catastrophe losses in the three months ended September 30, 2023 were defined as losses associated with Hurricane Idalia, the earthquake in Morocco, wildfires in Hawaii and other weather-related events.

Prior year development on post-LPT years. Reserve development for accident years 2020 onwards, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, contributed adverse development of 0.7% towards the overall loss ratio, while for the three months ended September 30, 2023, contributed adverse development of 1.6% towards the overall loss ratio. Adverse development in the specialty reinsurance, other property reinsurance, casualty and liability insurance, and financial and professional lines insurance lines of business resulted from adverse loss emergence. This was partially offset by reserve releases in the property catastrophe reinsurance and casualty reinsurance lines of business, due to better than expected loss emergence.

Adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses. The adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses relate to the post-LPT accident years and exclude the change in deferred gain associated with retroactive reinsurance contracts. Adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses and related losses represents the performance of our business for accident years 2020 onwards, which we believe reflects the underlying underwriting performance of the ongoing portfolio. The adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses is the basis on which we report adjusted underwriting income and adjusted combined ratio, as well as the basis in which underwriting income contributes to operating income. Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures”, for further details.

Impact of the LPT. The impact of the LPT includes the impact of prior year reserve development on 2019 and prior accident years, net of the change in the deferred gain recognized in relation to retroactive reinsurance contracts which is primarily driven by the LPT, totaling $26.7 million.

Acquisition, general and administrative expenses

We monitor the ratio of expenses to net earned premium as a measure of the cost effectiveness of our acquisition costs, and general and administrative expenses. The table below presents the contribution of the acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses to the net expense ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
Ratios Based on Net Earned Premium	2024		2023
Acquisition cost ratio	13.1	%	14.3	%
General and administrative expense ratio	14.2	%	13.2	%
Total expense ratio	27.3	%	27.5	%

The acquisition cost ratio improved from 14.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 13.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by an increase in ceded commissions, resulting from additional reinsurance purchased and higher cessions placed with our capital market partners.

The general and administrative expense ratio increased from 13.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 14.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase of $12.1 million from $87.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $99.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 is due to expense alignment in our functions which support corporate activities.

Aspen Capital Markets

ACM sources third-party capital and develops reinsurance structures that leverage the Company’s underwriting and analytical expertise and earns underwriting, management and performance fees from third-party investors primarily through the placement and management of collateralized quota share sidecar vehicles.

The following table sets forth a summary of fee income and third-party capital with respect to our ACM activity, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The increase in fee income is due to the growth achieved in third-party capital and greater ceded earned premium, including expansion of our capital markets business into long-tail casualty lines.

(1) Fee income earned through third party capital activities is primarily recorded through underwriting income/(loss) as a decrease to acquisition expenses.

Corporate and other expenses

In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred corporate and other expenses of $18.6 million (September 30, 2023 — $32.6 million). The decrease in corporate and other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to expense alignment in our functions which support corporate activities.

Non-operating expenses

In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred non-operating expenses of $7.6 million (September 30, 2023 — $0.2 million) which included consulting and professional services in relation to non-recurring projects and other non-operating expenses.

(2) Average cash and investments are calculated by taking the average of the opening and closing period balances for total investments plus cash and cash equivalents.

In the three months ended September 30, 2024, net investment income was $79.6 million, an increase of 2.2% from the prior year (September 30, 2023 — $77.9 million), largely as a result of active repositioning of our investments to take advantage of higher yields. The investment portfolio as at September 30, 2024 largely comprises interest income generating fixed maturity securities. Book yield on the fixed income securities portfolio as at September 30, 2024 was 4.1% compared with 3.7% as at September 30, 2023. Book yield is the yield of the security after adjusting for accretion/amortization of the difference between par value and purchase price.

Total net realized and unrealized investment gains for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $6.1 million (September 30, 2023 — losses of $1.8 million), which included $29.4 million of unrealized gains (September 30, 2023 — gains of $6.8 million). The net realized and unrealized investment gains are largely the result of reductions in U.S. Treasury yields in the period, partially offset by net realized losses in the quarter arising from our privately-held investments as well as active rotations of the portfolio.

Change in fair value of derivatives

We use derivative instruments to economically hedge foreign currency exposure, in the form of foreign currency forward contracts. We also hold an embedded derivative relating to the variable interest expense on the funds withheld arrangement included as part of the Company’s LPT contract.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of these derivative contracts on net income was a gain of $37.8 million (September 30, 2023 — gain of $35.6 million), attributable to foreign exchange contracts that had a gain of $32.7 million (September 30, 2023 — loss of $35.6 million), and a gain within the LPT embedded derivative of $5.1 million (September 30, 2023 — $nil).

Interest expense

The following table sets forth a summary of the interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Table of Contents

The increase in the interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily driven by the increase in the interest expense on the funds withheld account related to the LPT contract with Enstar. This LPT contract includes a funds withheld arrangement that provides returns to Enstar based on the Company’s investment performance. The increase in the associated interest expense is the result of the Company’s improved investment performance in the period.

Income tax expense

There was an income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $6.4 million compared to an income tax expense of $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The effective tax rate (defined as the tax charge or credit, divided by the profit or loss before tax), for the three months ended September 30, 2024, on profit before tax was 10.1% (September 30, 2023 — 5.7%).

The effective tax rate is impacted by the relative profitability of the business underwritten in Bermuda, the United Kingdom and the United States, all of which have different corporate/federal tax rates.

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income, net of taxes, was $130.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023 — loss of $66.1 million). Other comprehensive income includes a net unrealized gain on the available for sale investment portfolio of $105.6 million (September 30, 2023 — $45.2 million net unrealized loss), which consists of a net unrealized gain of $97.7 million (September 30, 2023 — $51.5 million) and a reclassification adjustment of $7.9 million (September 30, 2023 — $6.3 million) related to the net realized loss on the sale of available for sale securities. The net unrealized gain in the three months ended September 30, 2024 was predominantly driven by reductions in U.S. Treasury yields in the quarter. The remaining movement is due to a change in unrealized gain in foreign currency translation on available for sale investments of $22.5 million (September 30, 2023 — $14.5 million unrealized loss), and a $2.1 million unrealized gain (September 30, 2023 — $6.4 million unrealized loss) on the hedged derivative contracts.

Gross written premiums in our reinsurance segment increased by 28.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to new business, growth with existing clients and favorable renewals pricing. Gross written premiums in our insurance segment increased by 7.4% primarily due to new business growth, coupled with favorable market conditions within the casualty and liability insurance line. This was partially offset by reductions in the first party insurance and financial and professional lines insurance business lines, predominantly due to strategic exits from certain lines of business and a deterioration in market conditions, respectively.

Ceded written premiums

The following table sets forth the ceded written premiums for our two business segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

The overall loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 61.8% increased by 2.9 percentage points compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and losses and loss adjustment expenses increased from $1,147.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $1,278.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was mainly due to the following:

Current accident year losses, excluding the impact of catastrophe losses. Current accident year losses, excluding the impact of catastrophe losses, contributed $1,103.8 million or 53.3 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,028.1 million or 52.8 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses contributed $135.4 million or 6.5 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $109.0 million or 5.6 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Catastrophe losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 include losses associated with Hurricane Helene, floods in Dubai, the Francis Scott Key Bridge event, various events in Canada and other weather-related events. Catastrophe losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were defined as losses associated with Hurricane Idalia, wildfires in Hawaii, the earthquake in Morocco and other weather-related events.

Prior year development on post-LPT years. Reserve development for accident years 2020 onwards, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, contributed favorable development of 0.1% towards the overall loss ratio, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, contributed adverse development of 0.8% towards the overall loss ratio.

Adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses. The adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses relate to the post-LPT accident years and exclude the change in deferred gain associated with retroactive reinsurance contracts. Adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the performance of our business for accident years 2020 onwards, which we believe reflects the underlying underwriting performance of the ongoing portfolio. The adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses is the basis on which we report adjusted underwriting income and adjusted combined ratio, as well as the basis in which underwriting income contributes to operating income. Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, for further details.

Impact of the LPT. The impact of the LPT includes the impact of prior year development on 2019 and prior accident years, net of the change in the deferred gain recognized in relation to retroactive reinsurance contracts which is primarily driven by the LPT, totaling $41.7 million.

Acquisition cost ratio	14.0	%	14.7	%
General and administrative expense ratio	14.4	%	13.2	%
Total expense ratio	28.4	%	27.9	%

The acquisition cost ratio improved from 14.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 14.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by increases in ceded commission, resulting from additional reinsurance purchased and higher cessions placed with our capital market partners.

The general and administrative expense ratio increased from 13.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 14.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase of $41.2 million from $256.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $297.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily driven by an increase in investment in operational excellence enhancements and a strengthening of the British pound sterling.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net investment income was $238.9 million, an increase of 15.2% from the prior year (September 30, 2023 — $207.3 million), largely as a result of active repositioning of our investments to take advantage of higher yields. The investment portfolio as at September 30, 2024 largely comprises interest income generating fixed maturity securities. Book yield on the fixed income securities portfolio as at September 30, 2024 was 4.1% compared with 3.7% as at September 30, 2023. Book yield is the yield of the security after adjusting for accretion/amortization of the difference between par value and purchase price.

Total net realized and unrealized investment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $21.0 million (September 30, 2023 — gains of $16.2 million), which included $36.2 million of unrealized gains (September 30, 2023 — gains of $28.6 million). This is largely due to realized losses resulting from the active rotations of the investment portfolio and our privately-held investments, partially offset by unrealized gains attributable to market movements.

Change in fair value of derivatives

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of these derivative contracts on net income was a gain of $22.2 million (September 30, 2023 — loss of $16.0 million), attributable to foreign exchange contracts that had a gain of $10.3 million (September 30, 2023 — loss of $24.3 million), and a gain within the LPT embedded derivative of $11.9 million (September 30, 2023 — gain of $8.3 million).

Interest expense

The following table sets forth a summary of the interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024	2023
	( in millions)
Interest on LPT Funds Withheld		$	30.4
Interest on 2023 Senior Notes	—	10.7
Interest on 2026 Term Loan	16.0	—
Interest expense		$	41.1

All values are in US Dollars.

The increase in the interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023 was driven by an increase in the interest incurred on the Company’s debt, as well as an increase in the interest expense on the funds withheld account related to the LPT contract with Enstar.

Table of Contents

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company drew down on its term loan facility to repay the then outstanding 2023 Senior Notes. This change in financing facility resulted in a change in the underlying interest rate, from a fixed rate to a variable rate, leading to the increased expense recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The LPT contract with Enstar includes a funds withheld arrangement that provides returns to Enstar based on the Company’s investment performance. The increase in the interest expense on the funds withheld account is the result of the Company’s improved investment performance in the period.

Income tax expense

There was an income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $32.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $41.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The effective tax rate (defined as the tax charge or credit, divided by the profit or loss before tax), for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, on profit before tax was 11.9% (September 30, 2023 — 11.9%).

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income, net of taxes, was $113.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023 — loss of $52.1 million). Other comprehensive loss includes a net unrealized gain of $90.5 million in the available for sale investment portfolio (September 30, 2023 — $34.5 million net unrealized loss), which consists of a net unrealized gain of $59.6 million (September 30, 2023 — $47.6 million net unrealized loss) and a reclassification adjustment of $30.9 million (September 30, 2023 — $13.1 million) related to the net realized loss on the sale of available for sale securities. The net unrealized gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was largely attributable to the impact of reductions in U.S. Treasury yields on our bond portfolios. The remaining movement was due to an unrealized gain in foreign currency translation on available for sale investments of $20.9 million (September 30, 2023 — $6.9 million unrealized loss) and a $1.9 million unrealized gain (September 30, 2023 — $10.7 million unrealized loss) on the hedged derivative contracts.

Underwriting Results by Business Segment

We are organized into two business segments, Reinsurance and Insurance. We have determined our reportable segments by taking into account the manner in which management and ultimately the chief operating decision maker determines operating decisions and assesses operating performance. Profit or loss for each of the business segments is measured by underwriting income or loss. Underwriting profit is the excess of net earned premiums over the sum of losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses. Underwriting income or loss provides a basis for management to evaluate the segment’s underwriting performance.

Reinsurance Segment. The reinsurance segment consists of property catastrophe reinsurance, other property reinsurance, casualty reinsurance and specialty reinsurance.

Management measures segment results on the basis of the combined ratio, which is obtained by dividing the sum of the losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses by net earned premiums.

Non-underwriting disclosures. We provide additional disclosures for corporate and other (non-operating) income and expenses. Corporate and other income and expenses include: corporate and other expenses, non-operating expenses, net investment income, net realized and unrealized investment gains or losses, changes in fair value of derivatives, interest expense, net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, and income taxes. These income and expense items are not allocated to our business segments as they are not directly related to our business segment operations and is consistent with how management measures the performance of its segments. We do not allocate our assets by business segment as we evaluate underwriting results of each segment separately from the results of our investment portfolio.

Segment profit or loss for each of our business segments is measured by underwriting income or loss. Refer to Note 3 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, “Segment Reporting” for information on gross and net premiums written and earned, underwriting income or loss, and combined ratios and reserves for each of our business segments.

Reinsurance

Our reinsurance segment consists of property catastrophe reinsurance, other property reinsurance, casualty reinsurance and specialty reinsurance. For a more detailed description of this segment, refer to Item 4A “Business Segments — Reinsurance” in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC.

The property catastrophe reinsurance line of business has written similar levels of gross premiums to prior year. The increase in other property reinsurance was primarily due to favorable premium adjustments on pro rata treaties compared with prior year. Casualty reinsurance has seen growth in renewals across all casualty reinsurance lines of business, coupled with new business growth. The decrease noted in specialty reinsurance is largely due to lower premiums written in the mortgage portfolio, which is non-cyclical in nature.

Gross written premiums increased by 28.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in property catastrophe reinsurance was primarily due to a stronger rate environment coupled with new business growth. The increase in other property reinsurance was primarily due to new business growth coupled with positive premium adjustments. The increase in casualty reinsurance is driven by increases across all casualty reinsurance lines of business, due to a combination of new business, growth with existing clients and favorable renewals pricing. The increase in specialty reinsurance is primarily due to new business growth in the mortgage, tech lines, and marine portfolios.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024:

The loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 71.1%, an increase of 18.1 percentage points compared to 53.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The main drivers of the change in the loss ratio were the following:

•Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe losses, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of 53.8%, increased by 4.3 percentage points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the ratio was largely attributable to an increase in current accident year losses in the other property reinsurance line of business, primarily due to the riots in New Caledonia. The current accident year loss ratio was also significantly impacted by fire losses in the risk excess portfolio as well as an uplift in the management’s best estimate of reserves on the U.S. regional property portfolio.

•Catastrophe losses increased from $40.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $45.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, increasing the loss ratio by 1.5 percentage points. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, net catastrophe losses included $16.0 million from Hurricane Helene and $29.1 million of other weather-related events.

In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net catastrophe losses of $40.6 million included $10.4 million from Hurricane Idalia, $9.5 million from wildfires in Hawaii, $9.3 million from the earthquake in Morocco and $11.4 million of other weather-related events.

•Prior year development on post-LPT years totaled adverse development of $1.1 million in the current period compared with favorable development of $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. This movement in prior year development resulted in an increase in the loss ratio of 0.3 percentage points. The adverse development in the current period is largely driven by adverse loss emergence in the specialty reinsurance and other property reinsurance lines of business. This has been partially offset by reserve releases in the property catastrophe reinsurance and casualty reinsurance lines of business, as a result of better than expected loss emergence.

•The impact of the LPT include an unfavorable movement of $4.6 million, or 1.6 percentage points, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with a favorable movement of $30.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. This reflects development in the 2019 and prior accident years net of the movement in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts allocated to the reinsurance segment.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024:

The loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 59.8%, an increase of 7.5 percentage points compared to 52.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The main drivers of the change in the loss ratio were the following:

•Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe losses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 45.7% is relatively consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 46.8%. The movement in this ratio decreased the loss ratio by 1.1 percentage points.

•Catastrophe losses increased from $76.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $109.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increasing the loss ratio by 3.0 percentage points. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net catastrophe losses included $18.3 million from the Francis Scott Key Bridge event, $24.1 million from floods in Dubai, $16.0 million from Hurricane Helene and $50.7 million of other weather-related events.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net catastrophe losses of $76.1 million included $10.4 million from Hurricane Idalia, $9.5 million from wildfires in Hawaii, $9.3 million from the earthquake in Morocco, $7.2 million from floods in New Zealand and $39.7 million of other weather-related events.

•Prior year development on post-LPT years totaled favorable development of $2.6 million in the current period compared with adverse development of $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This movement in prior year development resulted in a reduction in the loss ratio of 0.4 percentage points. The favorable development in the current period is largely due to reserve releases in the casualty reinsurance and other property reinsurance lines of business, partially offset by reserve strengthening in the reinsurance other line of business.

•The impact of LPT include an unfavorable movement of $24.1 million, or 2.6 percentage points, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with a favorable movement of $29.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This reflects development in the 2019 and prior accident years net of the movement in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts allocated to the reinsurance segment.

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs were $43.9 million for three months ended ended September 30, 2024, equivalent to 15.0% of net earned premiums (three months ended September 30, 2023 — $54.9 million or 18.8% of net earned premiums). For the the nine months ended September 30, 2024, acquisition costs were $158.5 million, equivalent to 17.1% of net earned premiums (nine months ended September 30, 2023 — $160.6 million or 18.6% of net earned premiums). The decreases in the three and nine month periods of 3.8 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points, respectively, were mainly due to increases in ceded commissions resulting from additional reinsurance purchased, including higher cessions to our capital market partners.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $11.5 million from $29.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $41.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 65.6%, a decrease of 9.3 percentage points compared to 74.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The main drivers of the change in the loss ratio were the following:

•Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe losses, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of 56.7% decreased by 1.3 percentage points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The reduction in the loss ratio is primarily due to a higher earned premium base.

Total cash and investments increased mainly due to cash generated from operating activities of $367.1 million, partially offset by the payment of ordinary and preference dividends of $216.1 million. Our investment strategy is focused on delivering stable investment income and total investment returns through all market cycles while maintaining appropriate portfolio liquidity and credit quality to meet the requirements of our customers, rating agencies and regulators. We also consider how our investments should match the liability characteristics in terms of duration and foreign currencies.

As of September 30, 2024, a significant majority of funds available for investment were deployed in a diversified portfolio of high quality, investment grade securities, including U.S. government, corporate and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. As part of our strategic asset allocation, we also invest a portion of our portfolio in investments such as unrated private fixed and floating rate investments, and other investments not categorized as fixed income. These securities generally pay a higher rate of interest or return and may have a higher degree of credit or default risk, or less liquidity.

The duration of total fixed income securities (the aggregate of available for sale and trading) as at September 30, 2024 was 2.5 years compared to 2.6 years as at December 31, 2023. In addition, as at September 30, 2024, the average credit rating of these fixed income securities was “AA-,” with 87.2% being rated “A-” or higher. The average credit rating is calculated using the Bloomberg Barclays Index credit quality methodology.

As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a 2.6% allocation to investment funds and a 2.6% allocation to middle market loans and other private debt (“MML”) and commercial mortgage loans (“CML”), representing in total 5.2% of our portfolio. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had a 2.8% allocation to investment funds and a 4.8% allocation to MML and CML representing in total 7.6% of our portfolio.

Cumulative unrealized losses in the available for sale investment portfolio, net of taxes, were $137.1 million as at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $90.5 million from the net $227.6 million unrealized losses as at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the unrealized loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was predominantly driven by reductions in U.S. Treasury yields in the period.

As at September 30, 2024, the aggregate current fair value of the investment funds was $204.7 million (December 31, 2023 — $209.3 million). For further information regarding these investments, refer to Note 4 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, “Investments”.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Provision is made at the end of each year for the estimated ultimate cost of claims incurred but not settled at the balance sheet date, including the cost of IBNR claims and development of existing reported claims. The estimated cost of claims includes expenses to be incurred in settling claims and a deduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are calculated to arrive at a net claims reserve.

Reserves by segment. As at September 30, 2024, we had total net losses and loss adjustment expense reserves of $3,770.0 million (December 31, 2023 — $3,232.8 million). This amount represented our best estimate of the ultimate liability for payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses. Of the total gross reserves for unpaid losses of $8,201.3 million at the balance sheet date of September 30, 2024, a total of $5,196.2 million, or 63.4%, represented IBNR claims (December 31, 2023 — $4,695.1 million and 60.1%, respectively). The following tables analyze gross and net loss and loss adjustment expense reserves by business segment as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

Prior year loss reserves. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was an overall increase in our estimate of ultimate net claims to be paid in respect of prior accident years. An analysis of this overall net increase/(decrease) by business segment is as follows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The analysis of the development by each segment is as follows:

Reinsurance. Net adverse reserve development of $21.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily from the unfavorable movement of $24.1 million in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts, partially offset by favorable prior year development of $2.6 million on accident years 2020 onwards.

Insurance. Net adverse reserve development of $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the unfavorable movement of $17.6 million in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts, together with adverse prior year development of $0.6 million on accident years 2020 onwards.

We did not make any significant changes in methodologies used in our reserving process between the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Reinsurance Premiums Payable

Reinsurance Premiums Payable. As at September 30, 2024, we had reinsurance premiums payable totaling $1,309.7 million compared to $1,416.6 million as at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $106.9 million. This decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in the funds withheld related to the loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”) contract, partially offset by an increase in the amount payable for reinsurance premiums as a result of the additional reinsurance purchased in the period.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

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. Management monitors the liquidity of Aspen Holdings and of each of its Operating Subsidiaries and arranges credit facilities to enhance short-term liquidity and capital resources on a stand-by basis. As a holding company, Aspen Holdings relies on dividends and other distributions from its Operating Subsidiaries to provide cash flow to meet ongoing cash requirements, including claims settlements, any future debt service payments and other expenses, and to pay dividends, if any, to our preference and ordinary shareholders.

Aspen Holdings’ principal sources of liquidity include (i) cash, cash equivalents and investments, (ii) dividends, capital distributions and interest payments from our Operating Subsidiaries and (iii) our availability under our revolving credit facility and letter of credit facilities. As at September 30, 2024, Aspen Holdings held $113.3 million (December 31, 2023 — $87.1 million) of cash, cash equivalents and investments. Our Operating Subsidiaries collectively paid dividends to Aspen Holdings of $325.4 million and $164.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As at September 30, 2024, we had approximately $724 million of availability for borrowings under our revolving credit facility and letter of credit facilities (December 31, 2023 — $724 million). Management considers the current cash and cash equivalents, together with dividends declared or expected to be declared by subsidiary companies and our credit facilities, sufficient to appropriately satisfy planned and expected liquidity requirements of Aspen Holdings for the remainder of 2024 and in light of liquidity projections for the period thereafter. Aspen Holdings’ liquidity depends on dividends, capital distributions and interest payments from our Operating Subsidiaries.

Operating Subsidiaries. As at September 30, 2024, the Operating Subsidiaries held $1,222.4 million (December 31, 2023 — $1,073.8 million) in cash and short-term investments that are readily realizable securities. Management monitors the value,

Table of Contents

currency and duration of cash and investments held by the Operating Subsidiaries to ensure they are able to meet their insurance and other liabilities as they become due and was satisfied that there was a comfortable margin of liquidity as at September 30, 2024 and for the foreseeable future.

On an ongoing basis, our Operating Subsidiaries’ sources of funds primarily consist of premiums written, investment income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments. Cash is used primarily to pay reinsurance premiums, losses and loss adjustment expenses, brokerage commissions, general and administrative expenses, taxes, interest and dividends and to purchase new investments. The potential for individual large claims and for accumulations of claims from single events means that substantial and unpredictable payments may need to be made within relatively short periods of time.

We ensure that sufficient cash and short-term investments are held to enable us to meet potential claims without liquidating long-term investments and adversely affecting our investment return.

We manage these risks by making regular forecasts of the timing and amount of expected cash outflows and ensuring that we maintain sufficient balances in cash and short-term investments to meet these estimates. Notwithstanding this policy, if these cash flow forecasts are incorrect, we could be forced to liquidate investments prior to maturity, potentially at a significant loss.

Where we incur losses in currencies which are not normally held, we will convert funds into the appropriate currencies to mitigate our currency risk and also make funds available to settle claims in local currencies as and when they become due. For local regulatory reasons, we hold assets in trusts which limits our liquidity to some degree. The process of matching assets with liabilities in currency means, however, that at any one time we will hold cash and short-term assets in all major currencies which are available to settle claims.

The liquidity of our Operating Subsidiaries is also affected by the terms of our contractual obligations to policyholders and by undertakings to certain regulatory authorities to facilitate the issue of letters of credit or maintain certain balances in trust funds for the benefit of policyholders, or restricted for other reasons. The following table shows the forms of collateral or other security provided in respect of these obligations and undertakings as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Cash flow from financing activities were an outflow of $56.0 million, due to the payment of ordinary and preference share dividends. At September 30, 2023, we had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $988.8 million.

Capital Resources

We maintain our capital at an appropriate level as determined by our internal risk appetite and the financial strength required by our customers, regulators and rating agencies, sufficient to address such capital requirements during 2023 and in light of projected capital requirements for the period thereafter. We monitor and review the Aspen Group and the Operating Entities’ capital and liquidity positions on an ongoing basis. The following table shows our capital structures as at September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023:

	As at September 30, 2024	As at December 31, 2023
	( in millions)
Share capital, additional paid-in capital, retained income and accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	2,155.0

Long-term debt	300.0	300.0
Total capital		$	3,208.5

All values are in US Dollars.

As at September 30, 2024, total shareholders’ equity was $3,023.2 million compared to $2,908.5 million as at December 31, 2023. Our total shareholders’ equity as at September 30, 2024 includes three classes of preference shares with a total value of $753.5 million net of issuance costs (December 31, 2023 — $753.5 million, three classes of preference shares).

Our preference shares are classified in our balance sheet as equity but may receive a different treatment in some cases under the capital adequacy assessments made by certain rating agencies. Such securities are often referred to as “hybrids” as they have certain attributes of both debt and equity. Management monitors the ratio of the total of debt and hybrids to total capital which was 31.7% as of September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 — 32.8%). Total capital is defined as being shareholders’ equity plus outstanding debt.

Table of Contents

As at September 30, 2024, Aspen Holdings’ material debt outstanding was our term loan facility. As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the value of this long-term debt was $300.0 million.

Management monitors the ratio of debt to total capital which was 9.0% as at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 — 9.4%).

There were no principal capital management transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Access to capital.

Our ability to access the capital markets is dependent on, among other things, our operating results, market conditions and our perceived financial strength. We regularly monitor our capital and financial position, as well as investment and securities market conditions, both in general and with respect to Aspen Holdings’ securities. Our preference shares and depositary shares are listed on the NYSE.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting Aspen’s results, management has included and discussed certain measurements that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of Aspen’s results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP.

Average equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used in calculating ordinary shareholders return on average equity. Average equity is calculated by taking the arithmetic average of total shareholders’ equity on a quarterly basis for the stated periods excluding the average value of preference shares less issue expenses.

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 operating results. Operating income includes an adjustment for the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance contracts in order to economically match the loss recoveries under the LPT contract with the underlying loss development of the assumed net loss reserves for the subject business of 2019 and prior accident years. Operating income also excludes certain costs related to the LPT contract with a subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited, net foreign exchange gains or losses, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts, net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments and non-operating expenses and income.

Aspen excludes the items above from its calculation of operating income because management believes they are not reflective of underlying performance or the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates according to, prevailing investment market and interest rate movements. Aspen believes these amounts are either largely independent of its business and underwriting process, not aligned with the economics of transactions undertaken, or 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 users of its financial information to 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.

Underwriting result or income/loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. Income or loss for each of the business segments is measured by underwriting income or loss. Underwriting income or loss is the excess of net earned premiums over underwriting expenses. Underwriting expenses are the sum of losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses. Underwriting income or loss provides a basis for management to evaluate the segment’s underwriting performance.

Table of Contents

Adjusted underwriting income or loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is the underwriting profit or loss adjusted for the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance contracts in order to economically match the loss recoveries under the LPT contract with the underlying loss development of the assumed net loss reserves for the subject business of 2019 and prior accident years. Adjusted underwriting income represents the performance of our business for accident years 2020 onwards, which we believe reflects the underlying underwriting performance of the ongoing portfolio.

Along with most property and casualty insurance companies, we use the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net earned premiums, the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses, and the amount of other underwriting expenses that would be incurred. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates underwriting profit and a combined ratio of over 100 indicates an underwriting loss.

Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The loss ratio is calculated by dividing losses and loss adjustment expenses by net earned premiums. The expense ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, by net earned premiums.

Adjusted combined ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is the sum of the adjusted loss ratio and the expense ratio. The adjusted loss ratio is calculated by dividing the adjusted losses and loss adjustment expenses by net earned premiums. The expense ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, by net earned premiums.

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 earned premiums rather than net written premiums in the denominator when calculating the acquisition cost and the general and administrative expense ratios.

____________

(1) The adjusted underwriting income and adjusted combined ratio remove the impact of the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance contracts in order to economically match the loss recoveries under the LPT contract with the underlying loss development of the assumed net loss reserves for the subject business of 2019 and prior accident years. The adjusted underwriting income and adjusted combined ratio represent the performance of our business for accident years 2020 onwards, which we believe reflects the underlying underwriting performance of the ongoing portfolio.
