"Net operating earnings (loss) available to ordinary shareholders" is
a non-GAAP measurement. The Company determines net operating earnings
(loss) available to ordinary shareholders by adjusting net income
(loss) available to ordinary shareholders by net realized capital
gains and losses and the change in value of embedded derivatives, as
adjusted for the related effects upon the amortization of deferred
acquisition costs and taxes. While these items may be significant
components in understanding and assessing the Company's consolidated
financial performance, the Company believes that the presentation of
net operating earnings (loss) available to ordinary shareholders
enhances the understanding of its results of operations by
highlighting earnings attributable to the normal, recurring operation
of its reinsurance business. However, net operating earnings (loss)
available to ordinary shareholders is not a substitute for net income
(loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations to net
income (loss) available to ordinary shareholders are provided in the
following tables.
