For the three months ended December 31, 2025, our GPW increased primarily driven by growth from new business opportunities, including newly onboarded partnerships, in several lines of business. These increases were partially offset by premium estimate revisions in multiple lines of business.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, our GPW increased primarily driven by growth from new business opportunities, including newly onboarded partnerships, in several lines of business. These increases were partially offset by the Aviation & Aerospace line of business, where certain deals did not meet our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles, and by premium estimate revisions in multiple lines of business.
For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, our net premiums earned ("NPE") decreased due to business mix as a result of higher gross premiums written on lines of business with longer earnings patterns compared to the prior year periods, as well as due to premium adjustments.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 decreased due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, our loss ratio in the Insurance segment improved by 36.2 points and 5.4 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
The attritional loss ratio for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased by 14.2 points and 3.0 points, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to a higher level of small losses in the current year periods.
The catastrophe and large losses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were primarily attributable to Hurricane Melissa in our Property line of business, together with a loss event in each of our Aviation & Aerospace and Political Risk, Violence & Terror lines of business. This compared to the prior period catastrophe and large losses that were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Milton and Helene in our Property and Marine lines of business and a single loss event in our Property line of business.
The catastrophe and large losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to Hurricane Melissa and the California wildfires in our Property line of business, together with losses in our Other Insurance and Aviation & Aerospace lines of business. This compared to the prior period catastrophe and large losses related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business, losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and severe convective storms in our Property and Marine lines of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, favorable prior year development was driven primarily by reductions on prior year catastrophe and large loss events and from benign attritional development on prior accident years. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 adverse prior year development was driven primarily by an increase in reserves in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase includes the impact of the settlement of certain aviation litigation related claims during the year, as well as the judgment handed down by the English High Court in June 2025. The increase in loss reserves in Aviation & Aerospace was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property and Other Insurance lines of business.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, GPW decreased primarily due to a reduction in reinstatement premiums initially recognized on California wildfires and premium adjustments. NPE decreased due to premium adjustments and a reduction to reinstatement premiums initially recognized on California wildfires driven by a lower ultimate loss estimate recorded during the quarter.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, our GPW increased primarily due to reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires, as well as growth from new business. NPE increased driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the prior year periods and from the earning of premiums on contracts where the contract limits were exceeded related to the California wildfires.
Our policy acquisition expense ratio for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 increased primarily due to changes in ceded premium and commissions earned from outwards reinsurance partners.

The attritional loss ratio for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, improved by 1.8 points compared to the prior year period due to the current year having fewer attritional losses.
5
The reduction in catastrophe and large losses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, related to the sale of a portion of our subrogation rights on the California wildfire loss event. The catastrophe and large losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were attributable to the California wildfires. The catastrophe and large losses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and from storms in Alberta, Canada.

The Fidelis Partnership Commissions
The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned:

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the increase in The Fidelis Partnership commissions ratio was driven by a higher ceding commission ratio as a result of business mix, as well as no profit commission being earned in 2024 as the operating profit did not achieve the required hurdle rate of return, as outlined in the Framework Agreement.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $25.1 million and $96.6 million, respectively (2024: $23.6 million and $94.3 million, respectively). For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the increase was driven primarily by increasing variable compensation as a result of the Group's improved performance in the quarter compared to the prior year period, partially offset by the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in the quarter. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the increase related to higher employment costs in connection with growth in our headcount, partially offset by lower professional fees and by the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income includes interest and dividend income, net of investment expenses. The decrease in our net investment income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 resulted from lower investable assets compared to the prior year periods, primarily as the result of the payments for settlements and claims in 2025, partially offset by higher yields on our fixed income investments. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we purchased $460.3 million and $1,754.1 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.1% and 4.4%, respectively. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we sold $420.8 million and $2,012.7 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.4% and 4.4%, respectively.
Net Realized and Unrealized Gains/(Losses) on Other Investments
Net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on other investments is the change in net asset value ("NAV") of our fixed income fund, hedge fund and private credit fund investments. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to maintaining a higher value of funds invested in other investments, as well, these investments generated a higher return than in the prior year period. The increase for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to maintaining a higher value of funds invested in other investments throughout the year, following the strategic deployment into other investments in the fourth quarter of 2024, as well, these investments generated a higher return in 2025.
Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses) Excluding Other Investments
Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) excluding other investments includes net realized gains/(losses) on sales of fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, and movements in our provision for current expected credit losses.

•the reliability of pricing, accumulation and estimated loss models;
•the impact of complex causation and coverage issues associated with attribution of losses;
•the actual development of losses and expenses impacting estimates for claims which arose as a result of loss activity, particularly for events where estimates are preliminary until the development of such reserves based on emerging information over time;
•our ability to successfully implement our long-term strategy and compete successfully with more established competitors and increased competition relating to consolidation in the reinsurance and insurance industries;
•any downgrades, potential downgrades or other negative actions by rating agencies relating to us or our industry;
•changes to our strategic relationship with The Fidelis Partnership and our dependence on the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements for our underwriting and claims-handling operations;
•our dependence on key executives and ability to attract qualified personnel;
•our dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms;
•our potential inability to pay dividends or distributions in accordance with our current dividend policy, due to changing conditions;
•availability of outwards reinsurance on commercially acceptable terms;

•risks relating to our ability to identify and execute opportunities for growth or our ability to complete transactions as planned or realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or other investments;
•the Group’s status as a foreign private issuer means that it will be subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company;
•our ability to maintain the listing of our common shares on NYSE or another national securities exchange; and

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED)
Attritional loss ratio and catastrophe and large loss ratio: the attritional loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure of the loss ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe and large losses. Management believes that the attritional loss ratio is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it excludes losses that are not as predictable as to timing and amount. The attritional loss ratio is calculated by dividing the losses and loss adjustment expenses, excluding catastrophe and large losses and prior year development, by NPE. The catastrophe and large loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing the current year catastrophe and large loss expense by NPE. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is included in each segment’s summary of losses and loss adjustment expenses table.
Operating net income/(loss): is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income/(loss) excluding net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains, corporate and other expenses, and the income tax effect on these items.
Annualized return on average common equity (“ROAE”): represents annualized net income/(loss) divided by average common shareholders’ equity.
Annualized operating return on average common equity (“Annualized Operating ROAE”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as annualized operating net income/(loss) divided by average common shareholders’ equity.
Operating earnings per share (“Operating EPS”): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to more easily analyze our results in a manner similar to how management analyzes its underlying business performance. It is calculated by dividing operating net income/(loss) by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
The table below sets out the calculation of our Operating net income/(loss), Annualized ROAE, Annualized Operating ROAE and Operating EPS, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.

trends related to premium rate hardening or premium rate softening leading to a cyclical downturn of pricing in the (re)insurance industry; the impact of inflation (including social inflation) or deflation in relevant economies in which we operate; our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics and respond accordingly; the failure of our risk management policies and procedures to be adequate to identify, monitor and manage risks, which may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks; any litigation to which we are party being resolved unfavorably to our prior expectations, whether through court decisions or otherwise through effecting settlements (where such settlements are capable of being achieved), based on emerging information, the actions of other parties or any other failure to resolve such litigation favorably; the inherent unpredictability of litigation and any related settlement negotiations which may or may not lead to an agreed settlement of particular matters; the outcomes of probabilistic models which are based on historical assumptions and which can differ from actual results or other emerging information as compared to such assumptions; the less developed data and parameter inputs for industry catastrophe models for perils such as wildfires and flood; the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe catastrophic events; the possibility of greater frequency or severity of claims and loss activity than our underwriting, reserving or investment practices have anticipated; the development and pattern of earned and written premiums impacting embedded premium value; the reliability of pricing, accumulation and estimated loss models; the impact of complex causation and coverage issues associated with attribution of losses; the actual development of losses and expenses impacting estimates for claims which arose as a result of loss activity, particularly for events where estimates are preliminary until the development of such reserves based on emerging information over time;

our dependence on key executives and ability to attract qualified personnel; our dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms; our potential inability to pay dividends or distributions in accordance with our current dividend policy, due to changing conditions; availability of outwards reinsurance on commercially acceptable terms; the recovery of losses and reinstatement premiums from our reinsurance providers; our potential need for additional capital in the future and the potential unavailability of such capital to us on favorable terms or at all; our dependence on clients’ evaluation of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting; the suspension or revocation of our subsidiaries’ insurance licenses; our potentially being subject to certain adverse tax or regulatory consequences in the U.S., U.K. or Bermuda;

Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G. Operating net income/(loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income/(loss) excluding net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains, corporate and other expenses, and the income tax effect on these items. Annualized operating return on average common equity (“Annualized Operating ROAE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by average common shareholders’ equity. Operating earnings per share (“Operating EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to more easily analyze our results in a manner similar to how management analyzes its underlying business performance. It is calculated by dividing operating net income/(loss) by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
