SiriusPoint Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results with Core Combined Ratio of 89.1%

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SPNT) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025

• Combined ratio of 89.1% in the third quarter for Core business with underwriting income up 11% to $70 million
• Third quarter return on equity of 17.7%, with operating return on equity of 17.9% in the quarter contributing to year to date operating return on equity of 16.1%, both exceeding our 12-15% ‘across the cycle' target range
• Strong gross premiums written growth of 26% for Core business in the third quarter, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth
• Diluted earnings per common share of $0.73, with operating earnings per share of $0.72 representing a 41% increase from prior year
• Book value per diluted common share (ex. AOCI) up 5.3% in the quarter to $16.47. Balance sheet remains strong with Q3'25 BSCR estimate at 226%
   

Scott Egan, Chief Executive Officer, said: “The third quarter marked another successful quarter of delivery for SiriusPoint. Strong underwriting performance, targeted growth, the announcement of two MGA disposals, and a positive outlook upgrade by S&P means there is a lot to be proud of.

We achieved a strong operating return on equity of 17.9% in the quarter, significantly ahead of our ‘across the cycle' 12-15% target range. More importantly, our year to date operating return on equity of 16.1% is still outperforming our range despite heightened losses from the California Wildfires and aviation sector in the first half of the year.

Our third quarter Core combined ratio of 89.1% delivered an 11% increase in underwriting income compared to last year, aided in part by no catastrophe losses in the quarter. We also continued to see strong top line growth with gross premiums written up 26% year over year for the quarter and 16% year to date, with Accident & Health being the most significant contributor.

We expect the previously announced sale of two of our MGA investments, ArmadaCare and Arcadian, to unlock significant value for shareholders representing an increase of around $1.75 per share, which is not yet included in our book value.

Our ambition remains unchanged: to build on the progress and momentum we have created. The third quarter marked another meaningful step forward on that journey.”

Third Quarter 2025 Summary

Consolidated underwriting income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $91.4 million compared to $89.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by decreased catastrophe losses, slightly offset by decreased favorable loss reserve development.

Reportable Segments

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of our operations, which consist of two reportable segments - Insurance & Services and Reinsurance.

Collectively, the sum of our two segments, Insurance & Services and Reinsurance, constitute our “Core” results. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See reconciliations in “Segment Reporting”. We believe it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects our decision to exit the runoff business. The sum of Core results and Corporate results are equal to the consolidated results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Metrics

In presenting SiriusPoint's results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). SiriusPoint's management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative to investors in gauging the quality of SiriusPoint's financial performance, identifying trends in our results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Core underwriting income, Core net services income, Core income, and Core combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes it is useful to review Core results as it better reflects how management views the business and reflects the Company's decision to exit the runoff business. Book value per diluted common share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and tangible book value per diluted common share, as presented, are non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is book value per common share. Management believes it is useful to exclude AOCI because it may fluctuate significantly between periods based on movements in interest and currency rates. Management believes the effects of intangible assets are not indicative of underlying underwriting results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as applicable.
