“Everest had a strong start to 2024, with first quarter results delivering significant profitability across all key metrics, including a Total Shareholder Return in excess of 18% and an operating return on equity of 20%,” said Juan C. Andrade, Everest President and CEO. “Group underwriting income increased 50% over the prior year to a quarterly record of $409 million with a combined ratio of 88.8%, driven by both of our underwriting franchises. Our reinsurance business continued to differentiate Everest during another outstanding January 1 renewal as the flight to quality accelerated. We gained market share with targeted clients, positioning the portfolio for attractive levels of profitability. In our insurance division, we advanced our disciplined expansion across global markets, while remaining focused on prudent risk selection and the bottom line. Additionally, our investment portfolio contributed a record $457 million in net investment income. With strong momentum across our underwriting businesses, we are executing on our three-year strategic plan, focused on generating consistent, industry leading financial returns.”

  • Attritional loss ratio improved 80 basis points over last year to 57.2%, while the attritional combined ratio improved 150 basis points to 84.4% versus a year ago.
  • Combined ratio improved 350 basis points over the last year to 87.3%.
  • Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $80 million net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, driven primarily by the Baltimore Bridge Collapse.
  • Risk-adjusted returns remain very attractive, particularly in property and specialty lines.

Insurance Segment – Quarterly Highlights

  • Gross written premiums rose to $1.2 billion, a 9.8% increase year-over-year in constant dollars, driven by a diversified mix of property and specialty lines, partially offset by lower written premiums in monoline workers' compensation and financial lines.
  • Loss ratio improved 10 basis points over last year to 64.5%, while the attritional loss ratio improved 40 basis points over last year to 64.0%.
  • Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $5 million, net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, relatively in-line with the prior year.
  • Pricing continues to exceed loss trend overall and loss trend is stable.
  • There was a meaningful acceleration in pricing across long-tail lines (excluding financial lines).

(Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

Although net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) are an integral part of the Company’s insurance operations, the determination of net gains (losses) on investments and foreign exchange income (expense) is independent of the insurance underwriting process. The Company believes that the level of net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) for any particular period are not indicative of the performance of the underlying business in that particular period. Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income (loss) makes it more difficult for users of the financial information to evaluate the Company’s success or failure in its basic business and may lead to incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions. The Company understands that the equity analysts who follow the Company focus on after-tax operating income (loss) in their analyses for the reasons discussed above. The Company provides after-tax operating income (loss) to investors so that they have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the Company’s performance.
