PEMBROKE, Bermuda - August 1, 2016 - Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd. ENH today reported net income available to common shareholders of $76.6 million and $1.14 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2016 versus net income of $76.0 million and $1.68 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Endurance reported net income available to common shareholders of $183.0 million and $2.72 per diluted common share versus net income of $176.3 million and $3.91 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Book value per diluted common share was $68.20 at June 30, 2016, up 4.2% from December 31, 2015.
John R. Charman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Endurance's second quarter results demonstrated strong underlying underwriting profitability as reflected by our combined ratio of 92.6%. Our embedded risk management practices aligned with our comprehensive reinsurance and retrocessional programs enabled us to achieve underwriting profitability in both business segments despite a number of severe global catastrophes and large risk losses across the industry. Our solid underwriting results benefited from our increased scalability and focused expense management resulting in a significantly improved general and administrative expense ratio."
"Strategically, the second quarter reflected our continued focused and diversified core underwriting expansion as evidenced by the 32.0% growth in our gross written premiums. In addition to our targeted growth across our global businesses, our successful renewal of the Montpelier portfolio also helped drive our expansion. The quick, effective and successful integration of Montpelier has enabled us to exceed our expense and capital synergy objectives; those important benefits are now clearly visible in our financial results. Endurance is well equipped and very well positioned to thrive in the current market, which is showing increasing signs of moderation."

- Gross premiums written of $593.7 million, an increase of $124.8 million or 26.6% from the second quarter of 2015.
- Non-agriculture lines of business, which include casualty and other specialty, professional lines and property, marine/energy and aviation lines of business grew 47.6% from a year ago driven by the expansion of the Company's underwriting capabilities by product and geography over the last three years as well as from the renewal and expansion of business written within the Company's Lloyd's syndicate acquired from Montpelier in 2015.
- The agriculture insurance line of business declined 40.3% compared to a year ago as a result of lower commodity prices and the timing of premiums written.
-
- Net premiums written of $239.6 million, an increase of $49.3 million or 25.9% from the second quarter of 2015.
- Non-agriculture lines of business increased 44.7% due to strong growth in gross premiums written combined with a similar percentage of premiums ceded to third party reinsurers compared to a year ago.

-
- Combined ratio of 93.2% compared to 95.2% for the same period in 2015.
- The net loss ratio improved 3.8 percentage points to 68.4% compared to 72.2% for the same period in 2015.

The current accident year net loss ratio of 77.9% improved 3.5 percentage points as lower losses within the agriculture, professional lines, and the property, marine/energy and aviation lines of business were partially offset by a higher current accident year net loss ratio within the casualty and other specialty line of business.
- The general and administrative expense ratio decreased 2.4 percentage points, reflecting earned premium growth that outpaced the increase of the Company's expense base as a result of improved scale in the Company's expanding insurance business and a greater amount of ceding commissions received.
- The acquisition expense ratio increased 4.2 percentage points in the current quarter as non-agriculture lines of business with higher acquisition costs accounted for a greater percentage of earned premiums compared to a year ago.

Reinsurance Segment
Operating highlights for Endurance's Reinsurance segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2016:
- Gross premiums written of $543.2 million, an increase of $150.9 million or 38.5% from the second quarter of 2015.
- The catastrophe and property lines of business increased $97.2 million, predominantly due to the successful targeted renewals of acquired Montpelier business, partially offset by non-renewals and line size reductions.
- The specialty line of business increased $18.1 million largely due to growth in marine, agriculture and aviation, as global underwriting teams added over the past three years continue to identify profitable new opportunities.
- The casualty line of business increased $34.1 million, predominantly driven by new business within the Company's international and U.S. offices partially offset by select non-renewals.
-
- Net premiums written of $478.2 million, an increase of $109.4 million or 29.7% from the second quarter of 2015. The increase in net premiums written was driven by increased gross written premiums, partially offset by greater third party retrocessional protection purchased for the catastrophe and specialty lines of business.
- Combined ratio of 88.7% compared to 73.0% for the same period in 2015.
- The current period's net loss ratio of 58.5% increased 22.0 percentage points compared to 2015.

The increase in the current quarter accident year net loss ratio of 16.3 percentage points was predominantly due to catastrophe losses being 14.8 percentage points higher in the current quarter compared to a year ago. The current period's net loss ratio included favorable prior year loss reserve development of $34.4 million or 10.0 percentage points.
- The 3.3 percentage point improvement in the current quarter's acquisition expense ratio was largely due to the earning of premiums acquired from Montpelier that do not have related acquisition costs as these costs were written off on the acquisition date.
- The general and administrative expense ratio declined 3.0 percentage points in the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of leveraging increased earned premiums on an expense base that benefited from increased ceding commissions received.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
In presenting the Company's results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the Company's results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP.
Operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company in the management of its operations. Operating income represents operational results excluding, as applicable, net realized and unrealized gains, net impairment losses recognized in earnings and net foreign exchange gains because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. The Company believes these amounts are largely independent of its business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in its operations. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Company's results of operations in a manner similar to to that used by management to analyze the Company's underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP net income.
Operating income per diluted common share are internal performance measures used by Endurance in the management of its operations. Operating income allocated to common shareholders (which excludes unvested restricted shares outstanding which are considered participating) per diluted common share represents operating income divided by weighted average dilutive common shares, which has been calculated in accordance with the two-class method under U.S. GAAP. Endurance believes that showing operating income per dilutive common share enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze Endurance's results of operations in a manner similar to that used by management to analyze the Company's underlying business performance. Operating income per dilutive common share should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP net income per dilutive common share.
Return on Average Equity (ROAE) is comprised using the average common equity calculated as the arithmetic average of the beginning and ending common equity balances by quarter for stated periods. Return on Beginning Equity (ROBE) is comprised using the beginning common equity for stated periods. The Company presents various measures of Return on Equity that are commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.
