is to be recognized as a best-in-class (re)insurer with underwriting at our heart.
The progress made in 2023 would not have been possible without the support of all our customers, brokers, underwriting program partners, shareholders and staff. Thank you. I would also like to thank my fellow board members for their determined support of the management team and the priorities and goals they set and have now achieved. I would be remiss not to express my gratitude to
Our progress in 2023 was hard won. As you know, our main focus in 2023 was to become a profitable (re)insurer via disciplined underwriting, with laser focus on our profitable books of business, while reducing volatility in our underwriting portfolio, and capitalizing on favorable underwriting conditions. We have also reduced volatility in our investments and are producing strong and stable investment returns for the company. This measured approach culminated in a record year in operating income.
During the past year, we have also concentrated on building the foundations for continued success. We're now concentrating on building fewer but stronger relationships with our key partners. The rationalization of our program relationships is aligned with our 'underwriting first' strategy and cultivates further stability in our performance.
Finally, the banner 2023 year would not have been possible without the truly 'One SiriusPoint' team. It's the unwavering dedication and solution-driven mindset of the

CEO'S LETTER
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Here at
To achieve that goal, we are in the midst of an ambitious transformation, relentlessly implementing the significant changes that need to happen to make our vision a reality. Our focus remains on executing against our three strategic goals: simplification, reducing volatility, and profitability.
But we are not there yet. Big moves require big change. At
The great news is that
S&P's revision of our outlook from negative to stable was a momentous milestone for the whole team - and an emotional moment for me personally. It was an important external validation of the progress we have made as a Company, and an important acknowledgement of our underwriting discipline, prudent growth, our great management team and all the hard work of our staff.
After a year in the role of Chief Executive Officer, I could not be prouder of the progress
Our purpose and vision for
In
None of us want to be part of an average company, and our ambition is to be among the industry's most respected and reliable insurers and reinsurers.
We will achieve this by blending our essential components - talent, expertise and data - to provide intelligent risk solutions. Getting behind our purpose and vision and making them a reality is how we will differentiate ourselves in the market. The work has already begun, and we are determined to build on our actions in the year ahead.
Measurable improvements
It is our people that differentiate us from others in the market, and their hard work, determination and dedication is already delivering results. Together we have demonstrated measurable improvements to the business, and the aim now is to keep the momentum so we can continue to build both capital and cultural resilience.
In 2022,

Tangible results
We have spent the last year building a stable platform for 2024 and beyond, and our financial performance is starting to match the level of effort our colleagues are putting in to making our business a success. Highlights of 2023 include:
- Record full year retuon equity at16.2%, 10.2% excluding one-off adjustments.
- Record underwriting income of
$250 million , record combined ratio of 89.1% (core business), record net service fee income of$50 million , and record net income of$339 million available to common shareholders. - Fifth consecutive quarter of positive underwriting results.
- Fourth consecutive quarter of positive net income.
- Another quarter of positive capital generation across all the three areas: underwriting, strategic investments, and investments.
- Closing a Loss Portfolio Transfer with
$150 million of capital released on S&P model and Bermuda Solvency Capital Ratio benefit of >15 ppts.

- Further progress on rationalizing our equity stakes in managing general agents and programs.
The Company's transformation has been driven by the quality and capability of the expertise within our business, aligned with strong client and broker relationships. We can confidently say that the turnaround, heavy-lifting transformation part of our journey is behind us. We are now driving forward with purpose, intent and true clarity about the best-in-class business that we want to be. In 2024, we still have some refinement to do as we grow and build on the progress we have made. Our healthy balance sheet and diversified business portfolio will act as a springboard towards a profitable 2024 and 2025, during which time we'll continue to strive to deliver even higher returns for our shareholders.

We continue to remain conservative with regards to volatility. Our underwriting first approach remains unchanged, and we will continue to prioritize underwriting profits over premium growth in 2024.
Reduced volatility in underwriting
We delivered a combined ratio of 89.1% for our core business which was supported by 5 points of one-off reserve releases linked to the LPT we announced in 2023. Excluding the LPT benefits and other one-off items, our adjusted core combined ratio stood at a record 91.2%. This is an improvement of 10.4 points against our 2022 figures and demonstrates the impact of the decisive portfolio actions taken during the last 18 months.
The core combined ratio has been supported by both loss and expense ratio improvement, with the loss ratio improvement helped by lower catastrophe losses, which were
