PEMBROKE,
SECOND QUARTER 2018 SUMMARY
- Gross premiums written increased by
$149.9 million , or 18.1%, to$977.3 million , in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, driven by increases of$96.6 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment and$53.3 million in the Property segment. Gross premiums written in the Property segment included a$31.4 million reduction in assumed reinstatement premiums written. - Underwriting income of
$226.6 million and a combined ratio of 47.2% in the second quarter of 2018, compared to$109.7 million and 71.3%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2017. Decreases in the estimates of the net negative impact of the 2017 Catastrophe Events (as defined herein) resulted in a net positive impact on the underwriting result of$92.0 million , and a corresponding reduction in the combined ratio of 23.5 percentage points, in the second quarter of 2018, principally within the Company’s Property segment. - The Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity and short term investments had a yield to maturity of 3.0% at June 30, 2018.
Net Negative Impact
Net negative impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, lost profit commissions and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of its potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and catastrophe modeling techniques. The Company’s actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, will vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.
Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates, and the nature and extent of the losses, associated with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Mexico City Earthquake, and the Q4 2017 California Wildfires (collectively, the “2017 Catastrophe Events”), driven by the magnitude and recent occurrence of each event, relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things. Seismic events generally have longer development periods than windstorm events, which may be amplified in certain instances by dynamics such as the risk of geological liquefaction and the potential for uncertainty in claims adjudication.
See the financial data below for additional information detailing the net positive impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the second quarter of 2018 resulting from decreases in the estimates of the net negative impact of the 2017 Catastrophe Events.

$53.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to a gain of$112.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of$58.8 million . The decrease in the total investment result was principally due to realized and unrealized losses on the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio in the second quarter of 2018 driven by an upward shift of the interest rate yield curve, compared to realized and unrealized gains in the second quarter of 2017 primarily driven by a tightening of credit spreads and a decrease in interest rates at the longer end of the yield curve. In addition, the Company’s equity investments trading portfolio experienced lower realized and unrealized gains during the second quarter of 2018, compared to second quarter of 2017. - During the second quarter of 2018, Upsilon RFO issued

The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends”. “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets per share. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets per share, plus accumulated dividends. The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets. The following is a reconciliation of book value per common share to tangible book value per common share and tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends:
