Net Income Available to Ordinary Shareholders of $154 million and Operating Income of $201 million for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Operating Return on Average Equity of 18.7% and Adjusted Combined Ratio of 86.5% for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Hamilton, Bermuda, August 14, 2024 - Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Mark Cloutier, Executive Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Aspen continues on its path of delivering consistently strong performance. For the six months ended June 30, we reported top line growth, and a healthy annualized operating return on average equity and combined ratio. The results for both the second quarter and first six months demonstrate the robustness of our platform, and are in line with our expectations, given the major industry wide loss events in the period.
“In the first half of the year, we continued to match interesting business opportunities with our disciplined underwriting approach, which resulted in a 17% growth in our gross written premium to $2.5 billion (HY 2023: $2.1 billion). In addition to our underwriting performance, Aspen Capital Markets generated fee income of $68 million*, representing a 13% growth, and we reported net investment income of $159 million, an increase of 23% from prior year. This resulted in operating income of $201 million** up by 5%.
Our adjusted combined operating ratio of 86.5% ** (HY 2023: 84.8%) reflects the impact of industry event major loss activity year over year, principally in the first quarter of the year compared to the prior year period.
Our view on trading conditions remains generally optimistic, and we believe there is ample opportunity for continued profitable growth within the construct of our current portfolio and appetite.“
* Reflected in our underwriting result as a reduction to acquisition costs.
** Non-GAAP financial measures are used throughout this release, such as operating income, operating return on average equity, adjusted underwriting income and adjusted combined ratio. These are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. For additional information and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the end of this press release.

Insurance Segment Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
•Underwriting income was $36 million with a combined ratio of 90.6%, a 0.7 percentage point improvement from prior year.
•Favorable movement on loss ratio is mainly driven by benign catastrophe experience in the quarter leading to a 0.5 percentage point improvement, as well as releases on our prior year reserves post LPT.
•The expense ratio, which includes the acquisition ratio and general and administrative expense ratio, increased by 1.6%. This is due to an increase in staff costs, as a result of investment in our people, and unfavorable movement in foreign exchange rates, offset by increased ceded commission.
Insurance Segment Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
•Underwriting income was $70 million with a combined ratio of 90.6%, a 4.2 percentage point deterioration from prior year. Adjusted underwriting income was $65 million with an adjusted combined ratio of 91.2%.
•The strong underwriting result was driven by growth in premiums, mainly due to our new partnerships and growth in other programs, coupled with favorable market conditions in Excess Casualty and opportunities in Specialty.
•The loss ratio has increased due to a higher than expected current accident year loss ratio, driven by an expected increase in the frequency and severity of losses in financial and professional lines. This was partially offset by a favorable catastrophe loss ratio due to benign catastrophe experience in the year to date, as well as reserve releases on prior year reserves post LPT.

Reinsurance Segment Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
•Underwriting income was $45 million with a combined ratio of 86.3%. Adjusted underwriting income increased by $11 million to $58 million driven by premium growth. The adjusted combined ratio of 82.2% is 0.7 percentage point lower than prior year.

•Adjusted loss ratio of 53.7% is 0.4 percentage point higher than the prior year. This is driven by a current accident year catastrophe losses attributable to Dubai and German flood events, partially offset by favorable releases on prior year reserve development on post LPT years from property reinsurance for catastrophe events.
•Increased cessions to Aspen Capital Markets structures, resulted in higher ceding commissions in Casualty lines contributing to a 1.1 percentage point improvement in our acquisition cost ratio. Additional improvement in the acquisition cost ratio is attributable to changes in business mix.
Reinsurance Segment Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
•Underwriting income was $100 million with a combined ratio of 84.1%. Adjusted underwriting income was $120 million, $8 million higher than last year, with an adjusted combined ratio of 81.0%.

•Adjusted loss ratio of 51.4% is an improvement of 0.4 percentage points. This is due to a 3.5 percentage point improvement in the current accident year ex-catastrophe loss ratio and favorable development on post LPT prior years in specialty reinsurance, partially offset by catastrophe losses on Baltimore bridge, Dubai and German floods.

(1) Includes net unrealized gains of $3.1 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 — $10.3 million and $21.8 million gains).
(2) The tax impact of the change in unrealized gains/(losses) on available for sale investments was an expense of $0.6 million and a benefit of $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 — benefit of $4.2 million and expense of $1.6 million).
•Net investment income of $83 million in the quarter, increased by $13 million, or 18%, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as a result of active repositioning of our investments to take advantage of higher interest rates.
•Net realized and unrealized (losses)/gains recognized in net income was a loss of $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This is largely due to realized losses in the quarter arising from the active rotations of the portfolio with unrealized losses due to market movements.
•The total annualized return, pre-tax, on Aspen’s cash and investments was 3.6% in the quarter compared to 1.7% in the second quarter of 2023, and reflects the increase in net investment income and the impact of changes in net realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Shareholders’ equity
•Total shareholders’ equity was $2,870 million as of June 30, 2024, compared with $2,909 million as of December 31, 2023. We continued to generate shareholder value in the period, with net income of $181 million. Distributions to shareholders were $202 million, with ordinary share dividends of $175 million and preference share dividends of $27 million. Other comprehensive losses totaled $17 million for the period, primarily due to valuation changes related to investments classified as available for sale.

(1) Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may contain written “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts. In particular, statements using the words such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “aim,” “project,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” “likely,” “assume,” “estimate,” “may,” “continue,” “guidance,” “objective,” “outlook,” “trends,” “future,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” “on track” or their negatives or variations and similar terminology and words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions, estimates and data concerning future results and events and that are subject to a number of uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, many of which are outside Aspen’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our exposure to weather-related natural disasters and other catastrophes, the direct and indirect impact of global climate change, our relationship with, and reliance upon, a limited number of brokers for both our insurance and reinsurance business, the impact of inflation, our exposure to credit, currency, interest and others risks within our investment portfolio, the cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance industry, the occurrence, timing and results of, and market reaction to, our proposed initial public offering and proposed listing of our ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange and many other factors. For a detailed description of these uncertainties and other factors that could impact the forward-looking statements in this press release and other communications issued by or on behalf of Aspen, please see the “Risk Factors” section in Aspen’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC, which should be deemed incorporated herein.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this press release or any other communication should not be considered as a representation by Aspen that current plans or expectations will be achieved. Aspen undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
Basis of Preparation
Aspen has prepared the financial information contained within this financial results press release in accordance with the principles of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting Aspen’s results, management has included and discussed certain measurements that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of Aspen’s results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP.
Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Operating income is an internal performance measure used by Aspen in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operating results. Operating income includes an adjustment for the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance contracts in order to economically match the loss recoveries under the loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”) contract with the underlying loss development of the assumed net loss reserves for the subject business of 2019 and prior accident years. Operating income also excludes certain costs related to the LPT contract with a subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited, net foreign exchange gains or losses, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts, net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments and non-operating expenses and income.
Aspen excludes these items above from its calculation of operating income because management believes they are not reflective of underlying performance or the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates according to, prevailing investment market and interest rate movements. Aspen believes these amounts are either largely independent of its business and underwriting process, not aligned with the economics of transactions undertaken, or including them would distort the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, Aspen believes that showing operating income enables users of its financial information to analyze Aspen's results of operations in a manner consistent with how management analyzes Aspen's underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income.

Underwriting result or income/loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. Income or loss for each of the business segments is measured by underwriting income or loss. Underwriting income or loss is the excess of net earned premiums over the underwriting expenses. Underwriting expenses are the sum of losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses.
