R. Berkley Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) General The unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of W. R. Berkley Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations on a basis consistent with the prior audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses reflected during the reporting period. For further information related to areas of judgment and estimates and other information necessary to understand the Company’s financial position and results of operations, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. For interim periods, the income tax provision is based upon the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is generally greater than the federal income tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and amounts being subject to tax at a rate greater than the U.S. statutory rate and state taxes, which are partially offset by tax benefits related to tax-exempt investment income. Tax benefits related to equity-based compensation or other non-recurring items are discretely recorded in the period in which it occurs. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a tax benefit relating to the repeal of undiscounted property-casualty loss deductions and special estimated payments formerly available under Internal Revenue Code Section 847, which was partially offset by deferred tax charges in the United Kingdom. (2) Per Share Data The Company presents both basic and diluted net income per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (including 17,378,810 and 17,659,297 common shares held in a grantor trust as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively). The common shares held in the grantor trust are designated for delivery upon the settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that are vested but mandatorily deferred. Accordingly, such shares deliverable under vested RSUs do not affect diluted shares outstanding since the shares are already included in basic shares outstanding (which includes the shares in the grantor trust referenced above). Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of basic and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock incentive plans. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Basic 389,156 397,016 390,702 396,972 Diluted 391,804 400,368 393,316 400,098 (3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Policies Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: All accounting and reporting standards that became effective in 2026 were either not applicable to the Company or their adoption did not have a material impact on the Company. 6 Accounting and reporting standards that are not yet effective: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, addressing investor requests for more transparent information. The guidance requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2027 and the resulting impact will be disclosure only. All other recently issued but not yet effective accounting and reporting standards are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company. 7 (4) Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income The following tables present the components of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI"): (In thousands) Unrealized Investment (Losses) Gains Currency Translation Adjustments Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 Changes in AOCI Beginning of period $ (124,680) $ (326,417) $ (451,097) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (219,733) 3,815 (215,918) Amounts reclassified from AOCI 27,008 — 27,008 Other comprehensive (loss) income (192,725) 3,815 (188,910) Unrealized investment gain related to noncontrolling interest — — — End of period $ (317,405) $ (322,602) $ (640,007) Amounts reclassified from AOCI Pre-tax $ 34,187 (1) $ — $ 34,187 Tax effect (7,179) (2) — (7,179) After-tax amounts reclassified $ 27,008 $ — $ 27,008 Other comprehensive (loss) income Pre-tax $ (245,788) $ 3,815 $ (241,973) Tax effect 53,063 — 53,063 Other comprehensive (loss) income $ (192,725) $ 3,815 $ (188,910) As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2026 Changes in AOCI Beginning of period $ (269,636) $ (331,641) $ (601,277) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (71,323) 9,039 (62,284) Amounts reclassified from AOCI 23,554 — 23,554 Other comprehensive (loss) income (47,769) 9,039 (38,730) Unrealized investment gain related to noncontrolling interest — — — End of period $ (317,405) $ (322,602) $ (640,007) Amounts reclassified from AOCI Pre-tax $ 29,815 (1) $ — $ 29,815 Tax effect (6,261) (2) — (6,261) After-tax amounts reclassified $ 23,554 $ — $ 23,554 Other comprehensive (loss) income Pre-tax $ (59,817) $ 9,039 $ (50,778) Tax effect 12,048 — 12,048 Other comprehensive (loss) income $ (47,769) $ 9,039 $ (38,730) 8 As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 Changes in AOCI Beginning of period $ (517,170) $ (417,099) $ (934,269) Other comprehensive income before reclassifications 242,620 93,348 335,968 Amounts reclassified from AOCI 25,918 — 25,918 Other comprehensive income 268,538 93,348 361,886 Unrealized investment loss related to noncontrolling interest (1) — (1) End of period $ (248,633) $ (323,751) $ (572,384) Amounts reclassified from AOCI Pre-tax $ 32,808 (1) $ — $ 32,808 Tax effect (6,890) (2) — (6,890) After-tax amounts reclassified $ 25,918 $ — $ 25,918 Other comprehensive income Pre-tax $ 343,713 $ 93,348 $ 437,061 Tax effect (75,175) — (75,175) Other comprehensive income $ 268,538 $ 93,348 $ 361,886 As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025 Changes in AOCI Beginning of period $ (368,898) $ (393,169) $ (762,067) Other comprehensive income before reclassifications 98,518 69,418 167,936 Amounts reclassified from AOCI 21,747 — 21,747 Other comprehensive income 120,265 69,418 189,683 Unrealized investment gain related to noncontrolling interest — — — End of period $ (248,633) $ (323,751) $ (572,384) Amounts reclassified from AOCI Pre-tax $ 27,528 (1) $ — $ 27,528 Tax effect (5,781) (2) — (5,781) After-tax amounts reclassified $ 21,747 $ — $ 21,747 Other comprehensive income Pre-tax $ 157,858 $ 69,418 $ 227,276 Tax effect (37,593) — (37,593) Other comprehensive income $ 120,265 $ 69,418 $ 189,683 ____________ (1) Net investment (losses) gains in the consolidated statements of income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company decreased the allowance for expected credit losses for available for sale securities primarily due to improved pricing related to mortgage-backed securities. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

The primary focus of the trading account is merger arbitrage. Merger arbitrage is the business of investing in the securities of publicly held companies which are the targets in announced tender offers and mergers. Arbitrage investing differs from other types of investing in its focus on transactions and events believed likely to bring about a change in value over a relatively short time period (usually four months or less). The Company uses put options and call options in order to mitigate the impact of potential changes in market conditions on the merger arbitrage trading account. These options are reported at fair value. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of long option contracts outstanding was $5 million (notional amount of $87 million) and the fair value of short option contracts was $7 million (notional amount of $88 million). Other than with respect to the use of these trading account securities, the Company does not make use of derivatives.

Such entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support, or the equity investors, as a group, do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (primary beneficiary). The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of an entity subject to consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE's capital structure, contractual terms, nature of the VIE's operations and purpose, and the Company's relative exposure to the related risks of the VIE on the date it becomes initially involved in the VIE and on an ongoing basis. The Company is not the primary beneficiary in any of its investment funds, and accordingly, carries its interests in investment funds under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the carrying amount reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and its unfunded commitments, which were $241 million as of June 30, 2026. Investment funds consisted of the following: Carrying Value as of Income (Loss) from Investment Funds June 30, December 31, For the Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Financial services (1) $ 356,653 $ 360,320 $ 10,967 $ 12,277 Transportation 274,390 272,775 22,307 20,714 Real Estate 157,339 163,098 11,905 5,614 Infrastructure 179,235 169,847 9,823 9,064 Energy 42,872 41,966 4,807 (1,234) Other funds 420,938 353,796 8,502 7,856 Total $ 1,431,427 $ 1,361,802 $ 68,311 $ 54,291 (1) Includes the Company's minority investment in Lifson Re (see Note 23 Related-Party Transactions). The Company's share of the earnings or losses from investment funds is generally reported on a one-quarter lag in order to facilitate the timely completion of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Other funds include deferred compensation trust assets of $51 million and $43 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These assets support other liabilities reflected in the balance sheet of an equal amount for employees who have elected to defer a portion of their compensation. The change in the net asset value of the trust is recorded in other funds within net investment income with an offsetting equal amount within corporate expenses. (11) Real Estate Investment in real estate represents directly owned property held for investment, as follows: Carrying Value June 30, December 31, (In thousands) 2026 2025 Properties in operation $ 1,122,372 $ 1,051,455 Properties under development 228,477 228,293 Total $ 1,350,849 $ 1,279,748 As of June 30, 2026, properties in operation included a long-term ground lease in Washington, D.C., an office complex in New York City and the completed portion of a mixed-use project in Washington, D.C.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reduced the allowance for expected credit losses due to the decrease in the weighted average life of the loan portfolio. The Company monitors the performance of its loans receivable and assesses the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest based upon loan structure, underlying property values, cash flow and related financial and operating performance of the property and market conditions. In evaluating the real estate loans, the Company considers their credit quality indicators, including loan to value ratios, which compare the outstanding loan amount to the estimated value of the property, the borrower’s financial condition and performance with respect to loan terms, the position in the capital structure, the overall leverage in the capital structure and other market conditions. 15 (13) Net Investment (Losses) Gains Net investment (losses) gains were as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net investment (losses) gains: Fixed maturity securities: Gains $ 3,597 $ 4,209 $ 8,745 $ 6,841 Losses (6,216) (5,654) (12,753) (8,366) Equity securities (1): Net realized gains (losses) on investment sales 136 (1,100) 137 (3,695) Change in unrealized (losses) gains (18,010) 63,630 (22,504) 83,577 Investment funds (687) 808 (514) 822 Real estate (6,891) (5,256) (14,189) (1,313) Loans receivable — — 131 — Other (27,060) (26,104) (29,813) (31,622) Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments in earnings before allowance for expected credit losses (55,131) 30,533 (70,760) 46,244 Change in allowance for expected credit losses on investments: Fixed maturity securities (135) 21 (366) 339 Loans receivable 76 419 161 745 Change in allowance for expected credit losses on investments (59) 440 (205) 1,084 Net investment (losses) gains (55,190) 30,973 (70,965) 47,328 Income tax benefit (expense) 11,855 (6,685) 15,237 (10,213) After-tax net investment (losses) gains $ (43,335) $ 24,288 $ (55,728) $ 37,115 Change in unrealized investment (losses) gains on available for sale securities: Fixed maturity securities without allowance for expected credit losses $ (59,093) $ 152,235 $ (242,571) $ 336,222 Fixed maturity securities with allowance for expected credit losses (1) 478 (3) (73) Investment funds (680) 5,110 (3,199) 7,606 Other (43) 35 (15) (42) Total change in unrealized investment (losses) gains (59,817) 157,858 (245,788) 343,713 Income tax benefit (expense) 12,048 (37,593) 53,063 (75,175) Noncontrolling interests — — — (1) After-tax change in unrealized investment (losses) gains of available for sale securities $ (47,769) $ 120,265 $ (192,725) $ 268,537 ______________________ (1) The net realized gains or losses on investment sales represent the total gains or losses from the purchase dates of the equity securities.

A summary of the Company’s non-investment grade fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2026 is presented in the table below: ($ in thousands) Number of Securities Aggregate Fair Value Gross Unrealized Loss Foreign government 56 $ 167,337 $ 172,029 State and municipal 2 9,159 839 Corporate 6 8,417 311 Mortgage-backed 13 1,524 122 Total 77 $ 186,437 $ 173,301 For fixed maturity securities that management does not intend to sell or to be required to sell, the portion of the decline in value that is considered to be due to credit factors is recognized in earnings, and the portion of the decline in value that is considered to be due to non-credit factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company has evaluated its fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position and believes the unrealized losses are due primarily to temporary market and sector-related factors rather than to issuer-specific factors. None of these securities are delinquent or in default under financial covenants. Based on its assessment of these issuers, the Company expects them to continue to meet their contractual payment obligations as they become due. 17 (15) Fair Value Measurements The Company’s fixed maturity available for sale securities, equity securities and its arbitrage trading account securities are carried at fair value. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or valuations based on inputs that are observable. Level 3 - Estimates of fair value based on internal pricing methodologies using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are only used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. Substantially all of the Company’s fixed maturity securities were priced by independent pricing services (generally one U.S. pricing service plus additional pricing services with respect to a limited number of foreign securities held by the Company). The prices provided by the independent pricing services are estimated based on observable market data in active markets utilizing pricing models and processes, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, sector groupings, matrix pricing and reference data. The pricing services may prioritize inputs differently on any given day for any security based on market conditions, and not all inputs are available for each security evaluation on any given day. The pricing services used by the Company have indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if objectively verifiable information is available. The determination of whether markets are active or inactive is based upon the volume and level of activity for a particular asset class. The Company reviews the prices provided by pricing services for reasonableness and periodically performs independent price tests of a sample of securities to ensure proper valuation. If prices from independent pricing services are not available for fixed maturity securities, the Company estimates the fair value. For Level 2 securities, the Company utilizes pricing models and processes which may include benchmark yields, sector groupings, matrix pricing, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, bids, offers and reference data. Where broker quotes are used, the Company generally requests two or more quotes and sets a price within the range of quotes received based on its assessment of the credibility of the quote and its own evaluation of the security. The Company generally does not adjust quotes received from brokers. For securities traded only in private negotiations, the Company determines fair value based primarily on the cost of such securities, which is adjusted to reflect prices of recent placements of securities of the same issuer, financial projections, credit quality and business developments of the issuer and other relevant information. For Level 3 securities, the Company generally uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of fixed maturity securities. The cash flow models are based upon assumptions as to prevailing credit spreads, interest rate and interest rate volatility, time to maturity and subordination levels. Projected cash flows are discounted at rates that are adjusted to reflect illiquidity, where appropriate. 18 The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 by level: (In thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 30, 2026 Assets: Fixed maturity securities available for sale: U.S. government and government agency $ 4,402,996 $ — $ 4,402,996 $ — State and municipal 1,642,356 — 1,642,356 — Mortgage-backed 4,483,852 — 4,483,852 — Asset-backed 4,076,528 — 4,076,528 — Corporate 9,278,095 — 9,258,311 19,784 Foreign government 2,000,182 — 2,000,182 — Total fixed maturity securities available for sale 25,884,009 — 25,864,225 19,784 Equity securities: Common stocks 883,940 880,946 925 2,069 Preferred stocks 618,297 — 609,622 8,675 Total equity securities 1,502,237 880,946 610,547 10,744 Arbitrage trading account 1,292,382 1,199,119 93,150 113 Total $ 28,678,628 $ 2,080,065 $ 26,567,922 $ 30,641 Liabilities: Trading account securities sold but not yet purchased $ 6,576 $ 6,576 $ — $ — December 31, 2025 Assets: Fixed maturity securities available for sale: U.S. government and government agency $ 3,998,038 $ — $ 3,998,038 $ — State and municipal 1,837,194 — 1,837,194 — Mortgage-backed 4,808,478 — 4,808,478 — Asset-backed 3,810,346 — 3,810,346 — Corporate 8,687,411 — 8,667,410 20,001 Foreign government 1,875,589 — 1,875,589 — Total fixed maturity securities available for sale 25,017,056 — 24,997,055 20,001 Equity securities: Common stocks 742,113 739,186 786 2,141 Preferred stocks 616,088 — 607,414 8,674 Total equity securities 1,358,201 739,186 608,200 10,815 Arbitrage trading account 1,221,103 1,139,447 81,543 113 Total $ 27,596,360 $ 1,878,633 $ 25,686,798 $ 30,929 Liabilities: Trading account securities sold but not yet purchased $ 66,285 $ 66,285 $ — $ — 19 The following tables summarize changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025: (Losses) Gains Included In: (In thousands) Beginning Balance (Losses) Earnings Other Comprehensive (Losses) Income Purchases Sales Transfers In / (Out) Ending Balance Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Assets: Fixed maturity securities available for sale: Corporate $ 20,001 $ — $ (217) $ — $ — $ — $ 19,784 Total 20,001 — (217) — — — 19,784 Equity securities: Common stocks 2,141 (72) — — — — 2,069 Preferred stocks 8,674 — — — 1 — 8,675 Total 10,815 (72) — — 1 — 10,744 Arbitrage trading account 113 — — — — — 113 Total $ 30,929 $ (72) $ (217) $ — $ 1 $ — $ 30,641 Year Ended December 31, 2025 Assets: Fixed maturity securities available for sale: Corporate $ 19,667 $ — $ 334 $ — $ — $ — $ 20,001 Total 19,667 — 334 — — — 20,001 Equity securities: Common stocks 2,041 226 — — (126) — 2,141 Preferred stocks 3,674 — — 6,160 (1,160) — 8,674 Total 5,715 226 — 6,160 (1,286) — 10,815 Arbitrage trading account 3,510 1,745 — — (5,143) 1 113 Total $ 28,892 $ 1,971 $ 334 $ 6,160 $ (6,429) $ 1 $ 30,929 For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no securities transferred into or out of Level 3. For the year ended December 31, 2025, one security within the arbitrage trading account portfolio was transferred into Level 3 from Level 2 given there were no available quoted prices or observable inputs. 20 (16) Reserves for Loss and Loss Expenses The Company's reserves for losses and loss expenses are comprised of case reserves and incurred but not reported liabilities ("IBNR"). When a claim is reported, a case reserve is established for the estimated ultimate payment based upon known information about the claim. As more information about the claim becomes available over time, case reserves are adjusted up or down as appropriate. Reserves are also established on an aggregate basis to provide for IBNR liabilities and expected loss reserve development on reported claims. Loss reserves included in the Company’s financial statements represent management’s best estimates based upon an actuarially derived point estimate and other considerations. The Company uses a variety of actuarial techniques and methods to derive an actuarial point estimate for each operating unit. These methods include paid loss development, incurred loss development, paid and incurred Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods and frequency and severity methods. In circumstances where one actuarial method is considered more credible than the others, that method is used to set the point estimate. The actuarial point estimate may also be based on a judgmental weighting of estimates produced from each of the methods considered. Industry loss experience is used to supplement the Company’s own data in selecting “tail factors” in areas where the Company’s own data is limited. The actuarial data is analyzed by line of business, coverage and accident or policy year, as appropriate, for each operating unit. The establishment of the actuarially derived loss reserve point estimate also includes consideration of qualitative factors that may affect the ultimate losses. These qualitative considerations include, among others, the impact of re-underwriting initiatives, changes in the mix of business, changes in distribution sources and changes in policy terms and conditions. The key assumptions used to arrive at the best estimate of loss reserves are the expected loss ratios, rate of loss cost inflation, and reported and paid loss emergence patterns. Expected loss ratios represent management’s expectation of losses at the time the business is priced and written, before any actual claims experience has emerged. This expectation is a significant determinant of the estimate of loss reserves for recently written business where there is little paid or incurred loss data to consider. Expected loss ratios are generally derived from historical loss ratios adjusted for the impact of rate changes, loss cost trends and known changes in the type of risks underwritten. Expected loss ratios are estimated for each key line of business within each operating unit. Expected loss cost inflation is particularly important for the long-tail lines, such as excess casualty, and claims with a high medical component, such as workers’ compensation. Reported and paid loss emergence patterns are used to project current reported or paid loss amounts to their ultimate settlement value. Loss development factors are based on the historical emergence patterns of paid and incurred losses, and are derived from the Company’s own experience and industry data. The paid loss emergence pattern is also significant to excess and assumed workers’ compensation reserves because those reserves are discounted to their estimated present value based upon such estimated payout patterns. Loss frequency and severity are measures of loss activity that are considered in determining the key assumptions described in our discussion of loss and loss expense reserves, including expected loss ratios, rate of loss cost inflation and reported and paid loss emergence patterns. Loss frequency is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity is a measure of the average size of claims. Factors affecting loss frequency include the effectiveness of loss controls and safety programs and changes in economic activity or weather patterns. Factors affecting loss severity include changes in policy limits, retentions, rate of inflation and judicial interpretations. Another factor affecting estimates of loss frequency and severity is the loss reporting lag, which is the period of time between the occurrence of a loss and the date the loss is reported to the Company. The length of the loss reporting lag affects our ability to accurately predict loss frequency (loss frequencies are more predictable for lines with short reporting lags) as well as the amount of reserves needed for incurred but not reported losses (less IBNR is required for lines with short reporting lags). As a result, loss reserves for lines with short reporting lags are likely to have less variation from initial loss estimates. For lines with short reporting lags, which include commercial automobile, primary workers’ compensation, other liability (claims-made) and property business, the key assumption is the loss emergence pattern used to project ultimate loss estimates from known losses paid or reported to date. For lines of business with long reporting lags, which include other liability (occurrence), products liability, excess workers’ compensation and liability reinsurance, the key assumption is the expected loss ratio since there is often little paid or incurred loss data to consider. Historically, the Company has experienced less variation from its initial loss estimates for lines of business with short reporting lags than for lines of business with long reporting lags. The key assumptions used in calculating the most recent estimate of the loss reserves are reviewed each quarter and adjusted, to the extent necessary, to reflect the latest reported loss data, current trends and other factors observed. 21 The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending reserve balances: June 30, (In thousands) 2026 2025 Net reserves at beginning of period $ 18,953,674 $ 17,166,641 Net provision for losses and loss expenses: Claims occurring during the current year (1) 3,866,535 3,822,512 Increase in estimates for claims occurring in prior years (2) (3) 13,624 17,823 Loss reserve discount accretion 16,397 15,881 Total 3,896,556 3,856,216 Net payments for claims: Current year 427,861 431,981 Prior years 2,666,383 2,537,599 Total 3,094,244 2,969,580 Foreign currency translation (10,153) 164,747 Net reserves at end of period 19,745,833 18,218,024 Ceded reserves at end of period 3,436,407 3,278,099 Gross reserves at end of period $ 23,182,240 $ 21,496,123 _______________________________________ (1) Claims occurring during the current year are net of loss reserve discounts of $33 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (2) The change in estimates for claims occurring in prior years is net of loss reserve discount. On an undiscounted basis, the estimates for claims occurring in prior years increased by $11 million and $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (3) For certain retrospectively rated insurance policies and reinsurance agreements, reserve development is offset by additional or return premiums. Favorable development, net of additional and return premiums, was $3 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, favorable prior year development (net of additional and return premiums) of $3 million included $10 million of favorable prior year development for the Reinsurance & Monoline Excess segment partially offset by $7 million of adverse prior year development for the Insurance segment. For the Insurance segment, the development during the six months of 2026 resulted primarily from favorable development for short tail-lines of business which was offset by adverse development for other liability and auto liability. The favorable development for short-tail lines of business during the six months of 2026 related to the 2025 accident year, and resulted from favorable settlements of both catastrophe and non-catastrophe property claims below our expectations. The adverse other liability development was driven mainly by umbrella and excess liability claims, and to a lesser extent from the Company’s primary surplus lines casualty business. The other liability development was concentrated in accident years 2019 through 2023. The umbrella and excess liability development included a significant component stemming from underlying auto exposures. The Company believes that auto-related claims are being particularly impacted by social inflation, which is contributing to an increase in the frequency of large losses beyond expectations. An increase in the frequency of litigated claims is also driving up both indemnity and loss adjustment expense costs in these lines of business beyond expectations. For the Reinsurance & Monoline Excess segment, the favorable development during the six months of 2026 was driven mainly by favorable development in non-proportional reinsurance assumed property, partially offset by adverse development in the non-proportional reinsurance assumed liability line of business. Similarly to the Insurance segment, the favorable property reinsurance development was driven by favorable claim settlements, below our expectations, related to the 2025 accident year. The unfavorable development for non-proportional reinsurance assumed liability was associated primarily with our U.S. assumed reinsurance businesses, and was concentrated mainly in accident years 2020 through 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, favorable prior year development (net of additional and return premiums) of $1 million included $20 million of favorable prior year development for the Reinsurance & Monoline Excess segment largely offset by $19 million of adverse prior year development for the Insurance segment. For the Insurance segment, the adverse development during the first half of 2025 was driven by other liability and commercial auto liability and was partially offset by favorable development for short tail lines of business, including commercial property and commercial auto physical damage. The adverse other liability development was driven primarily by 22 umbrella and other claims attaching excess of primary policy limits and included a significant component stemming from underlying auto exposures. A secondary driver of the other liability development related to the Company’s excess and surplus lines casualty business. The other liability development was concentrated in accident years 2017 through 2022. The adverse commercial auto liability development was concentrated in accident years 2021 and 2022. The Company believes that auto-related claims are being particularly impacted by social inflation, which is contributing to an increase in the frequency of large losses beyond expectations. Social inflation can include higher settlement demands from plaintiffs, use of tactics such as litigation funding by the plaintiffs’ bar, negative public sentiment towards large businesses and corporations, and erosion of tort reforms, among others. The favorable development for short tail property lines of business during the first half of 2025 related to the 2024 accident year, and resulted from favorable settlements of both catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims below our expectations. For the Reinsurance & Monoline Excess segment, the favorable development during the first half of 2025 was driven mainly by favorable development in non-proportional reinsurance for assumed property. Similar to the Insurance segment, the favorable property reinsurance development was driven by favorable claim settlements, below our expectations, related mainly to the 2024 accident year. (17) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments: June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 (In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Assets: Fixed maturity securities $ 25,899,992 $ 25,900,428 $ 25,047,662 $ 25,048,534 Equity securities 1,502,237 1,502,237 1,358,201 1,358,201 Arbitrage trading account 1,292,382 1,292,382 1,221,103 1,221,103 Loans receivable 265,644 265,644 418,913 419,074 Cash and cash equivalents 2,606,530 2,606,530 2,539,938 2,539,938 Trading account receivables from brokers and clearing organizations 3,139 3,139 11,669 11,669 Due from broker — — 629 629 Liabilities: Due to broker 176,693 176,693 — — Trading account securities sold but not yet purchased 6,576 6,576 66,285 66,285 Senior notes and other debt 1,829,445 1,447,266 1,829,198 1,440,055 Subordinated debentures 1,010,887 713,744 1,010,527 760,400 The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed maturity securities, equity securities and arbitrage trading account securities are based on various valuation techniques that rely on fair value measurements as described in Note 15. The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by using current institutional purchaser yield requirements for loans with similar credit characteristics, which is considered a Level 2 input. The fair value of the senior notes and other debt and the subordinated debentures is based on spreads for similar securities, which is considered a Level 2 input. 23 (18) Premiums and Reinsurance Related Information The following is a summary of insurance and reinsurance financial information: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Written premiums: Direct $ 3,811,809 $ 3,610,784 $ 7,282,995 $ 6,921,677 Assumed 332,191 366,985 646,771 740,031 Ceded (713,766) (626,330) (1,325,186) (1,176,966) Total net premiums written $ 3,430,234 $ 3,351,439 $ 6,604,580 $ 6,484,742 Earned premiums: Direct $ 3,496,543 $ 3,335,252 $ 6,920,685 $ 6,569,095 Assumed 329,359 336,521 644,293 676,118 Ceded (638,513) (573,588) (1,262,417) (1,134,647) Total net premiums earned $ 3,187,389 $ 3,098,185 $ 6,302,561 $ 6,110,566 Ceded losses and loss expenses incurred $ 526,426 $ 354,923 $ 884,166 $ 669,175 Ceded commissions earned $ 156,093 $ 135,919 $ 309,041 $ 275,523 The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for expected credit losses for premiums and fees receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: (In thousands) 2026 2025 Allowance for expected credit losses, beginning of period $ 42,006 $ 39,884 Change in expected credit losses (585) (924) Allowance for expected credit losses, end of period $ 41,421 $ 38,960 The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for expected credit losses for premiums and fees receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: (In thousands) 2026 2025 Allowance for expected credit losses, beginning of period $ 42,130 $ 38,861 Change in expected credit losses (709) 99 Allowance for expected credit losses, end of period $ 41,421 $ 38,960 The Company reinsures a portion of its insurance exposures in order to reduce its net liability on individual risks and catastrophe losses. The Company also cedes premiums to state assigned risk plans and captive insurance companies. Estimated amounts due from reinsurers are reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for expected credit losses associated with due from reinsurers for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: (In thousands) 2026 2025 Allowance for expected credit losses, beginning of period $ 6,378 $ 8,350 Change in expected credit losses 430 (1,396) Allowance for expected credit losses, end of period $ 6,808 $ 6,954 24 The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for expected credit losses associated with due from reinsurers for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: (In thousands) 2026 2025 Allowance for expected credit losses, beginning of period $ 4,972 $ 7,084 Change in expected credit losses 1,836 (130) Allowance for expected credit losses, end of period $ 6,808 $ 6,954 (19) Restricted Stock Units Pursuant to its stock incentive plan, the Company may issue restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The RSUs generally vest three to five years from the award date and are subject to other vesting and forfeiture provisions contained in the award agreement. RSUs are expensed pro-ratably over the vesting period. RSU expenses were $27 million and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A summary of RSUs issued in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 follows: ($ in thousands) Units Fair Value 2026 9,427 $ 657 2025 20,995 $ 1,235 (20) Litigation and Contingent Liabilities In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to disputes, litigation and arbitration arising from its insurance and reinsurance businesses. These matters are generally related to insurance and reinsurance claims and are considered in the establishment of loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may also become involved in legal actions which seek extra-contractual damages, punitive damages or penalties, including claims alleging bad faith in handling of insurance claims. The Company expects its ultimate liability with respect to such matters will not be material to its financial condition. However, adverse outcomes on such matters are possible, from time to time, and could be material to the Company’s results of operations in any particular financial reporting period. On December 22, 2023, one of the Company’s subsidiaries filed a lawsuit against certain reinsurers to recover in excess of $90 million in respect of certain losses paid to its policyholders under certain event cancellation and related insurance policies. On April 23, 2026, the court issued a judgment that principally resolved the lawsuit in favor of the Company's subsidiary. Certain reinsurers have filed applications requesting permission to appeal aspects of the judgment. The final amount recoverable by the Company’s subsidiary will be determined based upon the appellate process and additional costs due the Company’s subsidiary from reinsurers. The Company believes the final amount determined to be recoverable, in any case, will not be material to the Company’s financial condition. (21) Leases Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. All leases disclosed within this footnote are classified as operating leases. Recognized right-of-use asset and lease liability are reported within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense is reported in other operating costs and expenses in the consolidated statement of income and accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. To determine the discount rate used to calculate the present value of future minimum lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate during the lease commencement period in line with the respective lease duration. In certain cases, the Company has the option to renew the lease. Lease renewal future payments are included in the present value of the future minimum lease payments when the Company determines it is reasonably certain to renew. The main leases entered into by the Company are for office space used by the Company’s businesses across the world. Additionally, the Company, to a lesser extent, has equipment leases mainly for office equipment.
