(5) After-tax net operating income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding after-tax acquisition, divestiture and restructuring costs, after-tax ceded prior year favorable (unfavorable) loss reserve development on reserves that are subject to the external Adverse Development Cover (“ADC”) and the related amortization of the deferred gain, after-tax net gains (losses) on investments, and after-tax net foreign exchange income (expense). After-tax net operating income (loss) return on average equity (annualized) is calculated by dividing after-tax net operating income (loss) by average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) ("URA(D)") of fixed maturity, available for sale securities. See "Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to after-tax net operating income.

Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures which include the following:
The Company has also presented results of its "Core" businesses, consisting of the Reinsurance Treaty and Global Wholesale & Specialty segments (excluding the Legacy segment), to reflect the businesses that are the Company's primary strategic focus. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Company believes that such measures are important to investors and other interested persons, and that these measures are a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the Company’s performance. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies within or outside of the insurance industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, or superior to, the Company’s financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable corresponding GAAP financial measures is included below.
After-tax net operating income (loss) and after-tax net operating income (loss) per diluted share
After-tax net operating income (loss) (also referred to in this release as net operating income) consists of net income (loss) excluding after-tax acquisition, divestiture and restructuring costs, after-tax ceded prior year unfavorable (favorable) loss reserve development on reserves that are subject to the external adverse development cover ("ADC") and the related amortization of the deferred gain, after-tax net gains (losses) on investments and after-tax net foreign exchange income (expense), as shown below:

Although net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) are an integral part of the Company’s insurance operations, the determination of net gains (losses) on investments and foreign exchange income (expense) is independent of the insurance underwriting process. The Company believes that the level of net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense) for any particular period are not indicative of the performance of the underlying business in that particular period. Additionally, the Company believes acquisition, divestiture and restructuring costs, which are comprised of transactional gain (losses) and one-time expenses, are of a non-recurring nature as they are associated with acquiring or divesting businesses and restructuring activities. Lastly, the retroactive reinsurance accounting model applied to the ADC creates volatility in the statement of operations that is not representative of the underlying economic substance of the transaction. Management is excluding the ceded prior year favorable (unfavorable) reserve development on reserves that are subject to the ADC and the related amortization of the deferred gain from the after-tax net operating income to improve comparability between periods and to remove this timing difference created by the retroactive reinsurance accounting model from its net operating income measure.
Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income (loss) makes it more difficult for users of the financial information to evaluate the Company’s success or failure in its basic business and may lead to incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions. The Company understands that the equity analysts who follow the Company focus on after-tax net operating income (loss) in their analyses for the reasons discussed above. The Company provides after-tax net operating income (loss) to investors so that they have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the Company’s performance.
Net Operating Income Return on Equity ("ROE")
Net Operating Income ROE (also referred to as operating ROE) is calculated by dividing after-tax net operating income (loss) by average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of fixed maturity, available for sale securities. A reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to net operating income is presented above. The Company believes net operating income ROE is a useful measure for management and investors as it allows for better comparability and removes variability when assessing the results of operations. A reconciliation of Net Operating Income ROE and Net Income ROE is shown below.

Book value per common share outstanding excluding URA(D)
Book value per common share outstanding excluding net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of fixed maturity, available for sale securities ("URA(D)") is calculated as reported shareholders' equity less URA(D), divided by common shares outstanding. Book value per share is the most comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes this metric is useful to management and investors as it shows the value of shareholder returns on a per share basis after eliminating the variability of investments held at fair value. Please see the table below for a reconciliation of book value per common share outstanding (excluding URA(D)) and book value per share.
Annualized Total Shareholder Return
Annualized TSR ("TSR") is calculated as year-to-date growth in book value per common share outstanding (excluding URA(D)) plus year-to-date dividends per share. As further discussed above, book value per common share outstanding (excluding URA(D)) is a non-GAAP measure. Please see the table below for a reconciliation of book value per common share outstanding (excluding URA(D)) and book value per share.

Underwriting Income (Loss)
Underwriting income (loss) is calculated as net premiums earned, less (1) incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses adjusted to exclude ceded prior year favorable (unfavorable) reserve development on reserves subject to the ADC and the related amortization of the deferred gain, (2) commission, brokerage, taxes and fees, and (3) other underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes underwriting income is a useful measure for management and investors when assessing the performance of the Company's reinsurance and insurance business segments. Core businesses consist of the Reinsurance Treaty and Global Wholesale & Specialty segments (excluding the Legacy segment) to reflect the businesses that are the Company's primary strategic focus. A reconciliation of Underwriting Income (Loss) and Net Income is shown below.

Net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses before impact of the ADC (Legacy Segment Metric)
Net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) before impact of the ADC is calculated as reserve for losses and LAE, less unpaid reinsurance loss recoverable adjusted to exclude the unpaid recoverable of the ADC reinsurance agreements. Due to the run-off nature of the Legacy business and the Company’s focus on managing and settling existing liabilities, the company introduced net reserves for losses and LAE before impact of the ADC as a Legacy segment performance measure to better align with how management evaluates the business. This measure is not meaningful for the Global Wholesale & Specialty and the Reinsurance Treaty segments so it is not used as a measure to manage these segments.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Legacy reserve for losses and LAE including and excluding the impact of ADC for the periods noted:

Attritional Loss Ratio and Attritional Combined Ratio
The loss ratio is calculated as the sum of total incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses less the ceded prior year favorable (unfavorable) reserve development on reserves subject to the ADC and the related amortization of the deferred gain, divided by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is calculated as the sum of total incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses less the ceded prior year favorable (unfavorable) reserve development on reserves subject to the ADC and the related amortization of the deferred gain, commission and brokerage expenses, and other underwriting expenses, divided by net premiums earned. The attritional loss ratio and attritional combined ratio are defined as the loss ratio and the combined ratio, respectively, adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses, net catastrophe reinstatement premiums, and prior year development. The Company believes the attritional ratios are useful to management and investors because the adjusted ratios provide for better comparability and more accurately measure the Company’s underlying underwriting performance. Core businesses consist of the Reinsurance Treaty and Global Wholesale & Specialty segments (excluding the Legacy segment) to reflect the businesses that are the Company's primary strategic focus. The following tables are a reconciliation of the loss ratio and attritional loss ratio, and the combined ratio and attritional combined ratio for the periods noted:
