prnewswire.com

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported book value per share of $2,188 as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 18% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 25% for the year ended December 31, 2025, including dividends.

Liam Caffrey, CEO, commented, "We had an excellent year, with BVPS growth of 18% in the quarter and 25% for the year. The largest contributor in both periods was the net gain from our sale of Bamboo, which added roughly $320 to BVPS in 2025. We also benefitted from solid results at our operating companies and good investment returns. For the year, Ark produced an 83% combined ratio and $2.6 billion of gross written premiums, up 16%. HG Global generated $61 million of gross written premiums, driven by a record year at BAM. Kudu produced a 13% return on equity and grew the fair value of its portfolio of participation contracts by 8% on a same store basis. Distinguished is off to a solid start under our ownership, generating managed premiums of $145 million in the quarter across both its scaled and growth programs. MediaAlpha's share price was up 14% in the quarter and 15% for the year. Excluding MediaAlpha, our investment portfolio returned 2.0% in the quarter and 8.9% for the year. During the quarter, we repurchased roughly $190 million of shares, inclusive of our self-tender offer. Including the distribution from WM Outrigger Re received in January, undeployed capital stands at roughly $1.0 billion."

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $837 million and $1,109 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $(131) million and $230 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, White Mountains recognized a net gain of $816 million from the Bamboo transaction, which includes the impact of parent company compensation costs recorded in general and administrative expenses. White Mountains also recognized a net deferred tax expense of $73 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the reversal of the deferred tax asset related to the Bermuda economic transition adjustment, of which $51 million was recorded at Ark and $22 million was recorded at HG Global. Due to the enactment of Pillar II legislation by Luxembourg in December 2025, White Mountains no longer expects to utilize the benefit of the economic transition adjustment. Results in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 also included $28 million and $30 million of unrealized investment gains from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha compared to $(122) million and $38 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

HG Global's total par value of policies assumed was $962 million and $3,170 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $940 million and $2,952 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. HG Global's total gross pricing was 204 and 194 basis points in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 190 and 177 basis points in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

HG Global reported pre-tax income (loss) of $(19) million and $45 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $(20) million and $(66) million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. HG Global's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) of $3 million and $23 million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $(20) million and $(6) million in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, driven by movements in interest rates.

HG Global's results in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 included a $38 million decline in the fair value of the BAM surplus notes, which was driven by changes in key inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis. HG Global's results in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 included an increase (decrease) of $(15) million and $1 million in the fair value of the BAM surplus notes, which was driven by the movement in market interest rates.

The fair value of the BAM surplus notes was $339 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $396 million as of September 30, 2025. The decline was driven by the $38 million decrease in fair value and a $27 million cash payment of principal and interest, partially offset by approximately $7 million of accrued interest.

HG Global's results in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 also included the reversal of the $22 million deferred tax asset associated with the Bermuda economic transition adjustment.

Kevin Pearson, President of HG Global, said, "HG Global recorded a strong quarter to close out the year, with gross written premiums increasing 10% during the quarter. For the year, par assumed grew 7% to $3,170 million, while gross written premium assumed grew 17% to $61 million, both record levels driven by strong activity in the primary and secondary markets. Municipal market issuance is expected to remain strong in 2026."

Rob Jakacki, CEO of Kudu, said, "Kudu had a good fourth quarter. Our investment in Apera was monetized at an attractive valuation, and we deployed capital into one new participation contract. Our portfolio grew to $1.3 billion and produced annualized adjusted EBITDA of $70 million.

Regulation G

This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to GAAP net income (loss).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate EBITDA. The items relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:

Annualized adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) annualizes partial year revenues related to Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts acquired during the previous 12-month period and (ii) removes partial year revenues related to revenue and earnings participation contracts sold during the previous 12-month period.

Annualized revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds the adjustments for annualized adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net investment income.

Cash revenue yield is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived using annualized revenue as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net investment income revenue yield, which is derived using GAAP net investment income as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu's performance. White Mountains also believes that annualized adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in understanding the full earnings profile of Kudu's business as of the end of any 12-month period. See page 20 for the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net investment income to annualized revenue.

MGA pre-tax income (loss) and MGA net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of the Bamboo captive, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss).

The following table presents the reconciliation from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to MGA pre-tax income (loss):

MGA EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to MGA net income (loss).

MGA adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate MGA EBITDA. The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (ii) software implementation expenses, (iii) restructuring expenses and (iv) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Bamboo's performance. See page 22 for the reconciliation of Bamboo's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA.

ScaleCo net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss).

ScaleCo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to ScaleCo net income (loss).

ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those items added back to calculate ScaleCo EBITDA. The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (ii) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Distinguished's performance. White Mountains also believes that excluding the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which Distinguished views as an investment in start-up programs, is useful to understanding the performance of Distinguished's established programs. See page 23 for the reconciliation of Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA.
