Application of the Safe Harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Some of the statements in this financial supplement may include forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements may include forward-looking statements both with respect to us in general and the insurance and reinsurance sectors specifically, both as to underwriting and investment matters. Statements which include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements in this financial supplement for purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only to the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, when as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or may be important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, developments in the world’s financial and capital markets that could adversely affect the performance of Endurance’s investment portfolio or access to capital, changes in the composition of Endurance’s investment portfolio, competition, possible terrorism or the outbreak of war, the frequency or severity of unpredictable catastrophic events, changes in demand for insurance or reinsurance, rating agency actions, uncertainties in our reserving process, a change in our tax status, acceptance of our products, the availability of reinsurance or retrocessional coverage, retention of key personnel, political conditions, the impact of current regulatory investigations, changes in accounting policies, changes in general economic conditions and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as amended on May 8, 2009.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DEFINITIONS AND PRESENTATION

•		All financial information contained herein is unaudited, except the balance sheet and income statement data for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, which was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

•		Unless otherwise noted, all data is in thousands, except for per share, percentage and ratio information.

•		As used in this financial supplement, “common shares” refers to our ordinary shares and class A shares, collectively.

•		Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., along with others in the industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of claims and claims adjustment expense to earned premiums. The acquisition expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (commissions, taxes, licenses and fees, as well as other underwriting expenses) to earned premiums. The general and administrative expense ratio is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of losses and expenses, respectively.

		The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of earned premium. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100% demonstrates underwriting loss.

•		GAAP combined ratios differ from statutory combined ratios primarily due to the deferral of certain third party acquisition expenses for GAAP reporting purposes and the use of net premiums earned rather than net premiums written in the denominator when calculating the acquisition expense and the general & administrative expense ratios.

•		NM — Not meaningful; NA — Not Applicable; LTM — Latest twelve months.

[a]		Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, which required the Company to identify whether an investment was in an unrealized loss position due to credit or non-credit related factors. Only credit related impairments are recognized in earnings.

[b]		Weighted average basic and dilutive common shares outstanding and basic and diluted earnings per common share have been calculated based on the two-class method for current and prior periods as required by new accounting guidance which was effective January 1, 2009. The guidance clarified which securities are to be considered participating securities and as such included in the calculation of earnings per share. All prior period per share amounts have been restated when participating securities were deemed to be outstanding. See pages 32 and 33.

[c]		Average common equity is calculated as the arithmetic average of the beginning and ending equity balances for the stated periods, which excludes the $200 million liquidation value of the preferred shares.

Annual Operating Income Profile

as of July 1, 2009

Operating Result — $ Millions

The above chart represents a cumulative analysis of our in-force underwriting portfolio on a full year basis based on thousands of potential scenarios. Loss years are driven largely by the occurrence of natural catastrophes and incorrect pricing of other property and casualty exposures. The operating income depicted includes net premiums earned plus net investment income, less acquisition expenses and G&A expenses. The operating income depicted excludes the effects of income tax (expenses) benefits, amortization of intangibles and interest expense. Forecasted investment income, acquisition and G&A expenses are held constant across all scenarios. Losses included above are net of reinsurance. Our stated objective is to maintain a risk management tolerance that limits our loss in a 1-in-100 year year to be no more than 25% of our shareholders’ equity.

Changes in Endurance’s underwriting portfolio, investment portfolio, risk control mechanisms, market conditions and other factors may cause actual results to vary considerably from those indicated by our value at risk curve. For a listing of risks related to Endurance and its future performance, please see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as amended on May 8, 2009.

As such, it differs from operating ROE primarily due to the exclusion of tax on underwriting, financing and investment activites and the tax-effected impact of amortization expense.

[a]		For internal management reporting purposes, underwriting results by segment are presented on the basis of applying reinsurance accounting to all reinsurance contracts written. However, for financial statement presentation purposes, management determined that certain reinsurance contracts written were more appropriately accounted for under the deposit method of accounting whereby net premiums due on such contracts were recorded as deposit liabilities. The adjustment herein reconciles the Company’s underwriting results by segment to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

The Company’s long tail line of business in the Reinsurance segment includes casualty.

[c]		The Company writes certain specialty lines of business for which the loss emergence is considered to be unique in nature and thus, has been included as other. The Company’s other lines of business included in the Insurance segment is agriculture and in the Reinsurance segment are agriculture, personal accident, self insured risks and special accounts.

[d]		For internal management reporting purposes, underwriting results by segment are presented on the basis of applying reinsurance accounting to all reinsurance contracts written. However, for financial statement presentation purposes, management determined that certain reinsurance contracts written were more appropriately accounted for under the deposit method of accounting whereby net premiums due on such contracts were recorded as deposit liabilities. The adjustment herein reconciles the Company’s underwriting results by segment to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

DILUTIVE SHARES FOR EPS CALCULATION — TWO CLASS METHOD

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the calculation of earnings per share which requires basic and diluted earnings per share to be calculated under the two-class method if there are participating shares. Participating securities include unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The Company’s unvested restricted shares issued under its stock compensation plans receive nonforfeitable cash dividends and thus are participating as defined by the new guidance.

The two-class method is an income allocation approach to the calculation of earnings per share. Net income available to common and participating shareholders has been allocated between common and participating shareholders based on their receipt of declared or paid dividends with the remaining amount allocated based on the common and participating shareholders proportional number of shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding excludes participating securities. Basic and Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding, respectively. Amounts for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect this change in accounting policy.

ENDURANCE SPECIALTY HOLDINGS LTD.
REGULATION G

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 after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, after-tax net realized capital gains or losses and after-tax net foreign exchange gains or losses 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.
