Lifting the lid on the massive jump in net income, Fidelis Insurance Group said the result included a net gain on distribution of Fidelis MGU of US$1.6 billion and the establishment of a net deferred tax asset of US$90 million related to the enactment of Bermuda’s corporate income tax.
“The fourth quarter was a strong finish to a milestone year for Fidelis in which we became a public company and strengthened our position as a global specialty insurer,” group chief executive Dan Burrows commented.
“Utilising our nimble yet disciplined approach, we capitalised on attractive opportunities, achieved strong rate increases, and delivered excellent financial performance, including a combined ratio of 81.4% and annualised operating ROAE (return on average common equity) of 23.6% in the fourth quarter, as we continued to execute against all aspects of our strategy.
“We are entering 2024 with strong momentum. Across core lines, we expect hard market conditions to continue, and we remain focussed on actively managing our capital to foster sustainable growth and maintain our track record of best-in-class underwriting performance. With our lead market position and balance sheet strength, we are well positioned to continue delivering long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.”
