Sid Sankaran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SiriusPoint, said: "I am very pleased with our team's execution through SiriusPoint's first full quarter. Underwriting this quarter has been keenly focused on remediation. We have made progress on re-balancing the portfolio between reinsurance and insurance to stabilize our book, manage volatility and deliver underwriting profit, over time. We are off to a great start and have established strong momentum that is reflected in the number of deals closed in our first four months of operations. We have attracted experienced and innovative partners and launched businesses including insurtech Joyn Insurance, with Seraina Macia, Banyan Risk, with Tim Usher-Jones, and Hestia Capital with Jean Francois Bahier and Peter Norris. Our existing partnerships with MGUs including Pie, and Arcadian Risk led by industry veteran John Boylan, also continue to add value and offer long term opportunity."

SiriusPoint also announced today a loss portfolio transfer transaction with Compre, a legacy runoff specialist. The loss portfolio transfer, which is subject to regulatory approval, covers $417 million of loss reserves subject to or associated with the transaction, including much of the legacy Sirius Group Runoff business, including Asbestos and Environmental, for a premium of $430 million.

Mr. Sankaran commented: "Our transaction with Compre underscores the ongoing transformation of SiriusPoint, our focus on optimizing capital allocation and rebalancing towards insurance and higher margin and growth lines, and provides further clarity on SiriusPoint's reserve position.

"With SiriusPoint, we are embarking on a journey to create a company with a sustainable long-term franchise and a focus on book value creation" Mr. Sankaran continued. "Our approach to capital allocation and our ability to be nimble has allowed us to take advantage of current market conditions, but our strategy does not rely on a hard market. We are building a company with a strong entrepreneurial culture under the premise that soft markets are the norm, while planning around long term macro trends that require disciplined investments and a growth mindset."

Second Quarter 2021 Summary

Underwriting Results

The acquisition of Sirius Group, which occurred on February 26, 2021, has created a highly diversified portfolio with expanded underwriting capabilities, geographic footprint and product offerings. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company reports four operating segments: Accident & Health ("A&H"), Specialty, Property and Runoff & Other.

In addition, effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy for assumed written premium recognition. Previously, the Company estimated ultimate premium written for the entire contract period and recorded this estimate at inception of the contract. The Company changed its accounting policy to recognize premiums written ratably over the term of the related policy or reinsurance treaty. The change in accounting policy had no impact on the previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders' equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders. Prior period segment results have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation.

Net premiums earned increased by $325.5 million, or 231.2%, to $466.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $140.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net premiums earned of $359.9 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies.

Net premiums earned increased by $435.2 million, or 151.6%, to $722.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $287.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net premiums earned of $475.8 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition.

We generated net underwriting income of $33.3 million and a combined ratio of 92.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net underwriting income of $0.2 million and a combined ratio of 99.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in net underwriting results was primarily driven by net underwriting income of $25.8 million from the legacy Sirius Group companies, mainly in the Property and A&H segments.

We generated net underwriting income of $42.0 million and a combined ratio of 94.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net underwriting income of $2.3 million and a combined ratio of 99.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in net underwriting results was primarily driven by net underwriting income of $33.9 million from the legacy Sirius Group companies from the date of acquisition, mainly in the Property and A&H segments.

Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $12.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively, or 2.7 and 2.5 percentage points, respectively, on the combined ratio, from European windstorms in the second quarter and winter storm Uri in the first quarter compared to no catastrophe losses recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

A&H Segment

Gross premiums written in the A&H segment were $90.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $89.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in premiums of $90.6 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the A&H segment generated net underwriting income of $3.1 million and a combined ratio of 97.0%, compared to a net underwriting loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Specialty Segment

Gross premiums written in the Specialty segment were $289.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $215.5 million, or 292.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in premiums of $150.6 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies, and due to new casualty premium of $59.8 million in the period written by our Bermuda incorporated MGU, Arcadian Risk, in which we invest capital and expertise.

The Specialty segment generated a net underwriting loss of $0.1 million and a combined ratio of 100.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net underwriting loss of $7.9 million and a combined ratio of 108.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in underwriting results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily driven by lower COVID-19 losses.

Property Segment

Gross premiums written in the Property segment were $213.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $140.6 million, or 193.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in premiums of $193.1 million as a result of new premiums from the legacy Sirius Group companies.

The Property segment generated net underwriting income of $30.2 million and a combined ratio of 80.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net underwriting income of $10.4 million and a combined ratio of 74.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in underwriting results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily driven by net underwriting income of $25.0 million as a result of the legacy Sirius Group companies. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $12.7 million, primarily from European Windstorms compared to no catastrophe losses recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net favorable prior year loss reserve development was $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to minimal prior year loss reserve development for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Investments

Net investment income was $77.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net investment income of $137.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to net investment income of $44.7 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, corresponding to a 3.7% return. The return was primarily attributable to long event/fundamental equities, particularly in the enterprise technology and healthcare sectors, as well as corporate and structured credit. In addition, the Company recognized net investment income of $35.5 million on fixed maturity, short term, cash equivalents and alternative investments. This was mainly attributable to unrealized gains of $25.5 million resulting from both market appreciation and favorable foreign exchange developments.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to net investment income of $98.6 million from our investment in the TP Enhanced Fund, as well as investment income from our opportunistic credit investments made at the end of the first quarter of 2020 to take advantage of dislocations in the credit market brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics

In presenting SiriusPoint's results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). SiriusPoint's management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of SiriusPoint's financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Book value per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that long-term growth in book value per share is an important measure of our financial performance because it allows our management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

Annualized Return on Average Common Shareholders' Equity Attributable to SiriusPoint Common Shareholders

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

Annualized return on average common shareholders' equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was calculated as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30, 2021			June 30, 2020			June 30, 2021			June 30, 2020

Net Underwriting Income

We measure segment performance for our underwriting segments based on net underwriting income or loss. Net underwriting income is a pre-tax measure of underwriting profitability that takes into account net premiums earned as revenues, including service fee revenue from the Company's managing general underwriting subsidiaries, and loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net, and other underwriting expenses as expenses. Other underwriting expenses include those operating expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our individual underwriting operations. See the accompanying Segment Reporting above for a calculation of net underwriting income.

Combined Ratio

Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and other underwriting expenses by net premiums earned. This ratio is a key indicator of a company's underwriting profitability. See the accompanying Segment Reporting above for a calculation of the combined ratio.

Basic Book Value Per Share, Tangible Basic Book Value Per Share, Diluted Book Value Per Share, Tangible Diluted Book Value Per Share

Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing common shareholders' equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of issued unvested restricted shares, at period end.

Tangible basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders' equity attributable to SiriusPoint common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Tangible book value per share is useful to investors because it measures the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of intangible assets.

Diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share, as presented, are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. The dilutive effect of restricted shares, restricted share units and options are calculated in a manner consistent with how dilution is calculated using the treasury stock method for earnings per share. We have also followed a similar approach for calculating dilution for warrants, Series A preference shares, Upside Rights and other potentially dilutive securities issued as part of our acquisition of Sirius Group.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic book value per share, tangible basic book value per share, diluted book value per share and tangible diluted book value per share as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
