(1) The rating of the municipal portfolio is AA with 5% of our holdings pre-funded with AA/Aaa Federal securities. The portfolio is highly diversified predominantly in State general obligation bonds and essential service revenue bonds, including education and utilities (water, power, and sewers).
(2) Weighted average yield to maturity of our fixed income portfolio based on the market prices of the holdings as of that date.
(3) We use a split rating due to S&P’s downgrade of U.S. Treasury and Agency securities.
(4) Net investment income, excluding non-recurring items, divided by average cost of fixed maturities and other investments, and average market value of equity securities. Net investment income includes private equity distributions of $18 million and $24 million for Q2 2013 and Q1 2013, respectively.

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 $9.7 billion and represent 97% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $1.4 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 13,000 loans and seasoned with 29% of the portfolio issued before 2006 and 52% 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 31%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 44% before principal is impaired. The foreclosure rate of ACE’s commercial mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 2013 was 1.9%.

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 830 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 and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

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.

We provide financial measures such as gross written premiums, net premiums written, net premiums earned, and operating income on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in these measures exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.

P&C expense ratio excluding A&H, excludes the impact of our A&H business from our consolidated expense ratio. The expense ratio for the A&H business is typically higher than our traditional P&C business, and we believe that this measure provides better comparison to our peer companies that may not have a significant A&H block of business.

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 and PPD 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 and PPD. The ratio denominator includes net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected and net earned premium adjustments on loss sensitive policies. 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.

Life net premiums written and deposits collected, excluding life reinsurance, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits) are properly not reflected as revenues in our consolidated statements of operations in accordance with GAAP. However, we include life deposits in presenting growth in our Life business because new life deposits are an important component of production and key to our efforts to grow our business. However, we exclude results associated with life reinsurance as there is no new life reinsurance business currently being written.

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.

Operating income or 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. Operating income or 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.

Tangible book value per common share is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the shares outstanding. We believe that goodwill and other intangible assets are not indicative of our underlying insurance results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. A reconciliation of tangible book value per share is provided on page 25. Tangible book value per common share excluding 2013 acquisitions is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the shares outstanding. The numerator adds back the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the 2013 acquisitions of Fianzas Monterrey and ABA Seguros in order to control for the distortive effect of acquisitions.
