Forward-Looking Statements Certain information and statements included in this presentation are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important risks and uncertainties which, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) claims arising out of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or terrorist attacks; (ii) the continued availability of capital and financing; (iii) general economic, market or business conditions; (iv) business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and pursued; (v) competitive forces, including the conduct of other insurers and reinsurers; (vi) changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations applicable to us, our competitors or our clients; (vii) an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting our financial position; (viii) loss reserves established subsequently proving to have been inadequate; and (ix) other factors, most of which are beyond our control. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, there are six non-GAAP financial measures denoted by an asterisk (*): Adjusted comprehensive net income is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the change in net unrealized gains from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio from comprehensive net income. GAAP requires these assets to be marked-to-market, which results in gains during periods when interest rates fall and losses in periods when interest rates rise. Because the liabilities related to the life insurance and structured settlement products that these assets support are not marked-to-market, it is likely that the economic impact on Symetra would be the opposite of that shown under GAAP (i.e., in general, Symetra’s intrinsic value increases when interest rates rise and decreases when interest rates fall). Fully converted tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure which is derived by expanding the GAAP book value per share calculation to include the effects of assumed conversion of all convertible securities and to exclude any unamortized goodwill and net unrealized gains from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio. Adjusted common equity and total tangible capital are non-GAAP measures that exclude the net unrealized gains from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio and any unamortized goodwill from GAAP shareholders’ equity. Pretax total return on investments is a non-GAAP measure that includes the performance of OneBeacon’s internally-managed pension plan investments not consolidated under GAAP, includes WTM’s investment in Symetra which is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated insurance affiliates, excludes the performance of investments held by certain entities consolidated under FIN 46 and excludes the earnings on funds held under reinsurance treaties. GAAP combined ratio requires certain acquisition expenses be deferred and amortized over the term of the policy written. Economic combined ratio instead amortizes such expenses over the term of the policy written and its expected renewals. In addition, economic combined ratio offsets acquisition expenses with revenue Esurance receives when referring business it cannot underwrite.
