ALLEGHANY CORPORATION REPORTS 2022 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY, May 5, 2022 - Alleghany Corporation (NYSE-Y) announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Book value per share was $638.83 at March 31, 2022, a decrease of 5.4% from December 31, 2021. Excluding the change in accumulated other comprehensive income, book value per share increased 1.2% from December 31, 2021.
Highlights for the first quarter are summarized below[1]:
Joe Brandon, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented "Alleghany's businesses continued to generate strong operating results, producing adjusted earnings of $255 million in the first quarter. This excellent result was more than offset by the decline in investment values during the first quarter, which reduced book value per share by 5.4% to $638.83, predominantly reflecting unrealized losses on the bond portfolio resulting from rising interest rates.
"Net premiums earned of $1.6 billion and a combined ratio of 88.4% produced an underwriting profit of $187 million. RSUI net premiums written grew in the first quarter by 25.5% reflecting double-digit rate growth in its most significant product lines and producing a record underwriting profit of $115 million and a combined ratio of 66.9%. TransRe's net premiums written grew by 11.2% excluding the impact of a quota share treaty it decided not to renew in the 2021 fourth quarter. Despite catastrophe loss activity in the first quarter related to the Russia / Ukraine conflict and severe international weather activity, TransRe produced $72 million of underwriting profit and a 93.9% combined ratio, benefiting from profitable growth in casualty and specialty lines and continued reductions in net catastrophe exposure.
"Alleghany Capital had an excellent 2022 first quarter and more than doubled adjusted earnings before income taxes to $102 million, driven primarily by increased earnings at Jazwares, W&W|AFCO Steel and IPS. Strong order flow, building backlogs and margin expansion continues across the portfolio of companies.
"We remain excited about the pending merger with Berkshire Hathaway and the opportunities it presents for our businesses. The process is proceeding as expected and in line with the timeframes previously announced."

Reinsurance
TransRe's renewals at both January 1, 2022 and April 1, 2022 saw growth across the casualty and specialty business and reduced property catastrophe business. TransRe continues to benefit from underlying margin improvement from its predominantly proportional business.
TransRe's net premiums written decreased 2.6% in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021, reflecting the impact of TransRe's decision to not renew a certain large whole account quota share treaty, or the "Quota Share Treaty," as of December 31, 2021. Also contributing was, to a lesser extent, decreases in the property lines of business, partially offset by improving rates and growth in various U.S. professional liability and casualty lines of business.
TransRe's combined ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 93.9% compared with 99.6% for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022 from 2021 primarily reflects a decrease in catastrophe losses and an improved current year attritional loss ratio.
TransRe's current year catastrophe losses in the 2022 first quarter were $48 million and included $35 million from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and $13 million from Australian floods. In the first quarter of 2021, TransRe incurred $100 million of losses related to Winter Storm Uri and other storms (collectively, "Winter Storms"). TransRe's underwriting profits excluding catastrophe losses were $120 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 14.1% compared with the first quarter of 2021.
Insurance
Insurance segment net premiums written increased 20.8% in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021, reflecting growth at both RSUI and, to a lesser extent, CapSpecialty.
RSUI's net premiums written increased 25.5% in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting growth in most lines of business due to increases in business opportunities, higher rates and improved general market conditions, particularly in the property, professional liability and management liability lines of business.
RSUI's combined ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 66.9% compared with 96.0% for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021 primarily reflects lower catastrophe losses and the impact of higher net premiums earned.
RSUI's catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2022 were $2 million related to severe weather in the U.S. Catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2021 were $80 million, virtually all of which related to the Winter Storms. RSUI's underwriting profits excluding catastrophe losses were $117 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 27.9% compared with the first quarter of 2021.
CapSpecialty's net premiums written increased 6.1% in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021 primarily reflecting growth in the certain specialty casualty and professional liability lines of business and, to a lesser extent, growth in the surety lines of business, partially offset by a curtailment of certain unprofitable producer relationships and declines in property lines of business.
CapSpecialty's combined ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 99.8% compared with 99.6% for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022 reflects higher unfavorable prior accident year loss reserve development, partially offset by lower catastrophe losses and an improved expense ratio.

The increase in earnings before income taxes in the first quarter of 2022 from the first quarter of 2021 primarily reflects higher revenues and improved margins at Jazwares as its popular products such as Squishmallows continue to resonate. Increased earnings from W&W|AFCO Steel and IPS also contributed to the improved results in the first quarter of 2022 as each successfully executed on higher margin projects. IPS's revenues and earnings also reflect the addition of Linesight, acquired in October 2021.
INVESTMENTS
Alleghany reported net investment income for the first quarter of 2022 of $114 million, representing a decrease of 26.1% from the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting lower partnership income and, to a lesser extent, lower dividend income due to a lower concentration of higher yielding equity securities. The lower partnership income in the first quarter of 2022 reflects a lack of appreciation compared with significant appreciation in a partnership with some exposure to cryptocurrencies, as well as lower returns in certain partnerships that invest in lower-quality debt securities.
Financial statement total return[4]on investments was (3.7%) for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 0.0% for the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting depreciation in the value of Alleghany's debt and equity securities portfolio.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2022, Alleghany had 13,454,888 shares of its common stock outstanding, compared with 13,598,535 shares of its common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021.
Through March 18, 2022, Alleghany repurchased an aggregate of 144,864 shares of its common stock in the open market for $96.0 million, at an average price per share of $662.60. Upon the public announcement of the merger agreement, repurchases of shares of common stock ceased.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this press release, Alleghany's results of operations have been presented in the way that Alleghany believes will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use financial information in evaluating the performance of Alleghany. This presentation includes the use of underwriting profit, adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted earnings before income taxes and book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), which are "non-GAAP financial measures." The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Also, note that these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. A discussion of Alleghany's calculation and use of these financial measures is provided below.
Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and loss adjustment expenses and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and does not include: (i) net investment income; (ii) change in the fair value of equity securities; (iii) net realized capital gains; (iv) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; (v) product and service revenues; (vi) other operating expenses; (vii) corporate administration; (viii) amortization of intangible assets; and (ix) interest expense. Alleghany consistently uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its reinsurance and insurance segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to a segment's underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss; and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance company's ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk.
Alleghany also uses underwriting profit excluding catastrophe losses as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its reinsurance and insurance segments without consideration of catastrophe losses.
A reconciliation of underwriting profit and underwriting profit before catastrophe losses to earnings before income taxes is presented below.

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share represent net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding (on an after-tax basis): (i) change in the fair value of equity securities; (ii) net realized capital gains; (iii) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; and (iv) amortization of intangible assets, all as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Alleghany uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share as supplements to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per diluted share, respectively, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting earnings and earnings per diluted share attributable to its performance exclusive of changes in the fair value of equity securities, net realized capital gains or losses, change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities and amortization of intangible assets.

Adjusted earnings before income taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure for Alleghany's non-insurance operating subsidiaries and investments in the Alleghany Capital segment. Adjusted earnings before income taxes represents product and service revenues and net investment income less other operating expenses and interest expense, and does not include: (i) change in the fair value of equity securities; (ii) net realized capital gains; (iii) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; and (iv) amortization of intangible assets. Because adjusted earnings before income taxes excludes change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized capital gains, change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities and amortization of intangible assets, it provides an indication of economic performance that is not affected by levels of effective tax rates or levels of amortization resulting from acquisition accounting. Alleghany uses adjusted earnings before income taxes as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of certain of its non-insurance operating subsidiaries and investments. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to earnings before income taxes is presented above in "Segment Results-Alleghany Capital."
Book value per share excluding AOCI is calculated by dividing: (i) stockholders' equity attributable to Alleghany stockholders less AOCI, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (ii) shares outstanding. Alleghany uses book value per share excluding AOCI as a supplement to book value per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, in order to better disclose its per share performance by excluding the effects of AOCI, which includes the effect of changes in interest rates and credit spreads on its debt securities portfolio, among others. A reconciliation of book value per share to book value per share excluding AOCI is presented below.
