Commenting on the numbers, group chief executive Dan Burrows said: “It is an extremely exciting time for Fidelis Insurance Group, and I’m delighted to present to you our first earnings release as a public company.
“Our second quarter results are a testament to the strength of our business model and the continued execution of our strategy and our ability to generate value for our shareholders.
“Our second quarter gross premiums written and combined ratio demonstrate our ability to capitalise on opportunities driven by favourable market conditions while remaining disciplined in our underwriting approach.”
Burrows added that the focus is on profitable growth with reduced volatility.
