_____________________________
(1)Catastrophe losses are presented net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums. Effective April 1, 2010, a catastrophe is defined, for purposes of the consolidated Selected Financial Data, as an event that caused a loss on property exposures before reinsurance of at least $10.0 million before corporate level reinsurance and taxes. All prior periods reflect a catastrophe as a property event with expected reported losses of at least $5.0 million before corporate level reinsurance and taxes. Catastrophe insurance provides coverage for one event. When limits are exhausted, some contractual arrangements provide for the availability of additional coverage upon the payment of additional premium. This additional premium is referred to as reinstatement premium.
(2)Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.
(3)Based on weighted average basic common shares outstanding of 48.6 million, 51.9 million, 53.8 million, 56.6 million and 60.7 million for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(4)Based on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 49.1 million, 52.1 million, 56.8 million and 60.8 million for 2013, 2012, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Diluted calculation was not applicable for 2011.
(5)Loss ratio is the GAAP losses and LAE incurred as a percentage of GAAP net premiums earned. Underwriting expense ratio is the GAAP commissions, brokerage, taxes, fees and other underwriting expenses as a percentage of GAAP net premiums earned. Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and underwriting expense ratio.
(6)Based on 47.5 million, 51.4 million, 53.7 million, 54.4 million and 59.3 million common shares outstanding for December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
