Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement:

Shareholders’ equity and book value per common share at December 31, 2011 and ROE percentages for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The adoption of this guidance decreased shareholders’ equity by $181 million as of December 31, 2011. The effect of the adoption of the new guidance on net income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 was a decrease of $12 million and $42 million, respectively.

Mortgage-backed securities total $12.6 billion, are rated predominantly AA and comprise 22% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 32% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage-backed securities is AA for agency mortgages and AAA for non-agency mortgages.

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $10.6 billion and represent 95% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 42,000 loans. The portfolio’s original loan-to-value ratio is approximately 67% with an average FICO score of 732. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 6%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 17% before principal is significantly impaired. The foreclosure rate of ACE’s non-agency RMBS portfolio at December 31, 2012 was 7%.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $1.4 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 13,000 loans and seasoned with 30% of the portfolio issued before 2006 and 50% of the portfolio issued after 2009. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 64% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.9 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 30%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 43% before principal is impaired. The foreclosure rate of ACE’s commercial mortgage-backed securities portfolio at December 31, 2012 was 1.8%.

U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

The average credit quality of ACE’s U.S. investment grade bond portfolio is high at A.

ACE prohibits investments in complex structured securities (e.g., CDOs, CLOs) and over-the-counter derivatives and does not permit the use of portfolio leverage.

Corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA 2%, A 1%, BBB 0.5% of total portfolio) and are monitored on a daily basis by ACE via an internal compliance system.

U.S. Below Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.

Six external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation. The portfolio comprises over 750 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $97 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

Derivative and structured securities (e.g., credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

Regulation G—Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per common share is provided on page 23.

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses). Life underwriting income includes net investment income and gains (losses) from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP.

Loss and loss expense ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period development (PPD) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The loss ratio numerator includes Losses and loss expenses adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses and PPD. The loss ratio denominator includes Net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net earned premiums when calculating this ratio. We believe that excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD provides a better evaluation of our core underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

Combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses, PPD, and crop is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio numerator includes losses and loss expenses, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses, PPD, and crop insurance. The ratio denominator includes net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected, net earned premium adjustments on loss sensitive policies and net premiums earned on crop insurance business. We believe that excluding the impact of catastrophe losses, PPD, and crop insurance provides a better evaluation of our core underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

Operating return on equity (ROE) or ROE calculated using income excluding net realized gains (losses) is an annualized non-GAAP financial measure. The ROE numerator includes income adjusted to exclude net realized gains (losses), net of tax. The ROE denominator includes the average shareholders’ equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of tax. To annualize a quarterly rate, multiply by four. Operating ROE is a useful measure as it enhances the understanding of the return on shareholders’ equity by highlighting the underlying profitability relative to shareholders’ equity excluding the effect of unrealized gains and losses on our investments.

Income excluding net realized gains (losses), net of tax, is a common performance measurement for insurance companies and non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Operating effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The numerator excludes tax on net realized gains (losses). The denominator excludes net realized gains (losses), before tax. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and the related tax impact because these amounts are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Operating effective tax rate should not be viewed as a substitute for effective tax rate determined in accordance with GAAP.
