Allied World's Value Proposition Superior book value growth compared to peers Growth in book value per share calculated by taking change in basic book value per share from December 2006 through September 2010 adjusted for common dividends paid. 27


 

Peer Comparisons - Operating Income ROE Operating return on average shareholders' equity is calculated by dividing operating income (net income available to common shareholders' excluding net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges in earnings, net foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment of intangible assets) by average adjusted shareholders' common equity (shareholders' common equity excluding the average after tax unrealized gains or losses on investments). 2006 - 2009 Average Allied World 22.1% Endurance 20.0% Arch 19.9% Berkley 19.5% Axis 18.8% RLI 17.5% Aspen 16.4% Markel 15.6% HCC 15.5% Navigators 13.7% Argo 10.4% 28


 

Peer Comparisons - Leverage *Pro-forma for $222.6 million share and warrant repurchase from founding shareholders in November 2010 and $300 million senior note issued in November 2010 Operating leverage calculated by net premium leverage (TTM 09-10 NPW / 09-10 total shareholders' equity) and 09-10 net reserve leverage (09-10 net loss reserves / total 09-10 shareholders' equity). Low leverage offers us more capacity for growth within existing capital structure 29


 

Conclusion Allied World Expects to Generate a Mid-teen ROE, Assuming Normalized Catastrophe Activity Strong underwriting franchise diversified by product and geography Experienced executive management team in place Excellent capitalization, strong balance sheet and financial flexibility Enhanced by recent capital management initiatives Significant infrastructure investments made since 2008 Strengthened U.S. specialty franchise and global capabilities Well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities Current valuation inconsistent with history of strong returns 30

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In presenting the company's results, management has included and discussed in this presentation certain non generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). "Operating income" is an internal performance measure used by the company in the management of its operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in earnings, impairment of intangible assets and foreign exchange gain or loss. The company excludes net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in earnings and net foreign exchange gain or loss from its calculation of operating income 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 excludes impairment of intangible assets as these are non-recurring charges. 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 U.S. 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 and the company's underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. The company has included "diluted book value per share" because it takes into account the effect of dilutive securities; therefore, the company believes it is an important measure of calculating shareholder returns. "Annualized return on average shareholders' equity" ("ROAE") is calculated using average equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains or losses on investments. Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are primarily the result of interest rate and risk premium movements and the resultant impact on fixed income securities. Such gains (losses) are not related to management actions or operational performance, nor are they likely to be realized. Therefore, the company believes that excluding these unrealized gains (losses) provides a more consistent and useful measurement of operating performance, which supplements GAAP information. In calculating ROAE, the net income (loss) available to shareholders for the period is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized net income (loss) available to shareholders. The company presents ROAE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information. "Annualized operating return on average shareholders' equity" is calculated using operating income (as defined above and annualized in the manner described for net income (loss) available to shareholders under ROAE above), and average shareholders' equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Unrealized gains (losses) are excluded from equity for the reasons outlined in the annualized return on average shareholders' equity explanation above. See slides 37 - 39 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. 36
