BASIS OF PRESENTATION




DEFINITIONS AND PRESENTATION


·  
Unless otherwise noted, all data is in thousands, except for share amounts, per share amounts and percentages.

·  
The debt to capitalization ratio is an indication of the Company’s leverage.  It is calculated by dividing the Company’s long term debt by the total capital.  Total capital represents the sum of Flagstone shareholders’ equity plus long term debt.

·  
N/A - means not applicable.

·  
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain “non-GAAP” financial measures, as such term is defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC.  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 U.S. GAAP.  The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included in this financial supplement.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain, and the Company may from time to time make, written or oral “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. In particular, statements using words such as  “may”, “should”, “estimate”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential”, or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements.

Important events and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ include, but are not necessarily limited to: market conditions affecting our common share price; the possibility of severe or unanticipated losses from natural or man-made catastrophes; the effectiveness of our loss limitation methods; our dependence on principal employees; the cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance business; the levels of new and renewal business achieved; opportunities to increase writings in our core property and specialty reinsurance and insurance lines of business and in specific areas of the casualty reinsurance market; the sensitivity of our business to financial strength ratings established by independent rating agencies; the estimates reported by cedents and brokers on pro-rata contracts and certain excess of loss contracts in which the deposit premium is not specified; the inherent uncertainties of establishing reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, and our reliance on industry loss estimates and those generated by modeling techniques; unanticipated adjustments to premium estimates; changes in the availability, cost or quality of reinsurance or retrocessional coverage; our exposure to many different counterparties in the financial service industry, and the related credit risk of counterparty default; changes in general economic conditions; changes in governmental regulation or tax laws in the jurisdictions where we conduct business; the amount and timing of reinsurance recoverables and reimbursements we actually receive from our reinsurers; the overall level of competition, and the related demand and supply dynamics in our markets relating to growing capital levels in the insurance and reinsurance industries; declining demand due to increased retentions by cedents and other factors; the impact of terrorist activities on the economy; and rating agency policies and practices.
 
These and other events that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in more detail from time to time in our filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are subject to significant uncertainties and speak only as of the date on which they are made.

REGULATION G
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

 
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed non-GAAP financial 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 U.S. GAAP.
 
BASIC BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic book value per common share is defined as total Flagstone shareholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period plus vested restricted share units, giving no effect to dilutive securities.
 
DILUTED BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE
 
The Company has included diluted book value per common share because it takes into account the effect of dilutive securities, therefore, the Company believes it is a better measure of calculating shareholder returns than basic book value per common share.  Diluted book value per common share is defined as total Flagstone shareholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding at the end of the period including all potentially dilutive securities such as the warrant, performance share units and restricted share units.  When the effect of securities would be anti-dilutive, these securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted book value per common share.  The warrant was anti-dilutive and was excluded from the calculation of diluted book value per common share for all periods presented.
 
ANNUALIZED NET OPERATING RETURN ON AVERAGE FLAGSTONE SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Annualized net operating return on average Flagstone shareholders’ equity is defined as net operating income (net income attributable to Flagstone adjusted for net realized and unrealized gains (losses) - investments, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) – other and net foreign exchange losses (gains)) divided by average Flagstone shareholders’ equity (the sum of opening and closing Flagstone shareholders’ equity divided by two). The result is then annualized (a statistical technique whereby figures covering a period of less than one year are extended to cover a 12 month period).
 
DILUTED NET OPERATING INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
Diluted net operating income per common share is defined as net income attributable to Flagstone adjusted for net realized and unrealized gains (losses) - investments, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) – other and net foreign exchange losses (gains) divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

(1) Distributions paid per common share are in the form of a non-dividend return of capital.  Prior to the Company's redomestication to Luxembourg on May 17, 2010, such distributions were in the form of dividends.
(2) Basic and diluted book value per common share plus accumulated distributions is calculated by dividing the sum of Flagstone shareholders' equity and cumulative distributions declared by diluted common shares outstanding.
(3) Diluted book value per common share incorporates the assumption that the warrant would not be exercised at the end of any period where the share price is less than the strike price.
(4) Change in diluted book value per common share adjusted for distributions is the internal rate of return of the increase in diluted book value per common share in the period plus distributions declared.
