    AXIS Capital Holdings Limited ("AXIS Capital" or "AXIS" or "the Company") (NYSE:AXS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

    Commenting on the third quarter 2025 financial results, Vince Tizzio, President and CEO of AXIS Capital said:

    "AXIS produced another strong quarter highlighted by a 14% year-over-year increase in diluted book value per common share, and annualized operating return on equity of 18%. These results are direct outcomes of the enhancements we have made to our product portfolio, operating model, and a highly engaged team focused on disciplined execution.

    "Our insurance business again delivered an excellent quarter with record third quarter gross premiums written of $1.7 billion, representing 11% growth, record third quarter new business premiums of $570 million, and an 85.9% combined ratio. In parallel, AXIS Re continued its track record of solid performance with a 92.2% combined ratio and a 6% increase in gross premiums written.

    "Our "How We Work" program is driving ongoing operational improvements throughout the business, powered by investments in data, technology, and AI. Our team remains resolute in building on the progress we've achieved, as we pursue our ambition to become the industry's leading specialty underwriter."

    Third Quarter and Year-to-date Consolidated Results*

    • Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of $294 million, an increase of $121 million, or 70%, compared to the third quarter of 2024.
    • Net income available to common shareholders year-to-date of $697 million, a decrease of $68 million, or 9%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024
    • Operating income(1) for the third quarter of $255 million, an increase of $25 million, or 11%, compared to the third quarter of 2024
    • Operating income year-to-date of $775 million, an increase of $74 million, or 11%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024
    • Underwriting income(2) for the third quarter of $188 million, an increase of $53 million, or 39%, compared to the third quarter of 2024
    • Underwriting income year-to-date of $541 million, an increase of $99 million, or 22%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024
    • Net investment income for the third quarter of 2025 was $185 million, compared to $205 million, for the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to lower income from fixed maturities.
    • Book yield of fixed maturities was 4.6% at September 30, 2025, compared to 4.4% at September 30, 2024. The market yield was 4.8% at September 30, 2025.
    • The effective tax rate of 18.9% for the quarter was due to pre-tax income in our Bermuda, U.K., U.S., and European operations. Corporate income tax of 15% applied to Bermuda pre-tax income effective January 1, 2025.
    • Common share repurchases pursuant to our Board-authorized share repurchase program of $110 million and common share dividends of $35 million in the quarter.
    • Book value per diluted common share was $73.82 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $3.48, or 4.9%, compared to June 30, 2025.
    • Book value per diluted common share increased by $9.17, or 14.2%, over the past twelve months, driven by net income, and net unrealized investment gains, partially offset by common share repurchases, and common share dividends of $1.76 per share.

    * Amounts may not reconcile due to rounding differences.

    Three months ended September 30,

    • Gross premiums written increased by $188 million, or 10% ($173 million, or 9%, on a constant currency basis(6)), to $2.1 billion with an increase of $165 million, or 11% in the insurance segment, and an increase of $23 million, or 6% in the reinsurance segment.

    • Net favorable prior year reserve development was $19 million (Insurance: $15 million; Reinsurance: $4 million), compared to $8 million in 2024.

    Footnotes referred to above

    3 All comparisons are with the same period of the prior year, unless otherwise stated.

    4 The current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses is calculated by dividing the current accident year losses less pre-tax catastrophe and weather-related losses, net of reinsurance, by net premiums earned less reinstatement premiums.

    5 Current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, current accident year combined ratio, and current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. The reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, net losses and loss expenses ratio and combined ratio are provided above and a discussion of the rationale for the presentation of these items is provided later in this press release.

    6 Amounts presented on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. The constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate from the current year to prior year amounts. The reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided above/later in this press release, and a discussion of the rationale for the presentation of these items is provided later in this press release. Variances that are unchanged on a constant currency basis are omitted from the narrative.

    Three months ended September 30,

    • Gross premiums written increased by $165 million, or 11% ($154 million, or 10%, on a constant currency basis), attributable to all lines of business with the exception of cyber lines which decreased in the quarter, principally due to a lower level of premiums associated with program business.
    • Net premiums written increased by $109 million, or 11% ($99 million, or 10%, on a constant currency basis), reflecting the increase in gross premiums written in the quarter, together with a decreased cession rate in liability lines, partially offset by an increased cession rate in accident and health lines.
    • The current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses is consistent with recent quarters.
    • The acquisition cost ratio decreased by 1.0 point, primarily related to an increase in ceding commissions mainly in accident and health lines.
    • The underwriting-related general and administrative expense ratio increased by 0.5 points, mainly driven by investments in underwriting teams and information technology, partially offset by an increase in net premiums earned.

    Nine months ended September 30,

    • Gross premiums written increased by $365 million, or 7%, attributable to all lines of business with the exception of cyber lines which decreased in the period, principally due to a lower level of premiums associated with program business.

    Three months ended September 30,

    • Gross premiums written increased by $23 million, or 6% ($19 million, or 5%, on a constant currency basis), primarily attributable to new business in agriculture, and credit and surety lines together with premium adjustments in liability lines, partially offset by non-renewals in accident and health lines.
    • The current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses is consistent with recent quarters.
    • The acquisition cost ratio increased by 1.0 point, primarily related to adjustments attributable to loss-sensitive features in accident and health lines together with changes in business mix.

    Nine months ended September 30,

    • Gross premiums written increased by $39 million, or 2% ($59 million, or 3%, on a constant currency basis), primarily attributable to new business and premium adjustments.
    • Net premiums written decreased by $21 million, or 2% ($1 million, or —%, on a constant currency basis), reflecting the increased cession rates to our strategic capital partners consistent with recent periods.

    • Net investment income decreased by $20 million, or 10%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to lower income from fixed maturities resulting from lower fixed maturity assets due to the LPT transaction with Enstar completed in the second quarter.
    • Net investment gains (losses) recognized in net income (loss) for the quarter primarily related to net unrealized gains on equity securities and realized gains on the sale of fixed maturities.
    • Change in net unrealized gains on fixed maturities, pre-tax of $46 million ($69 million excluding foreign exchange movements) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the quarter due to an increase in the market value of fixed maturities attributable to the tightening of credit spreads and the decline in U.S. yields, compared to change in net unrealized gains, pre-tax of $385 million ($330 million excluding foreign exchange movements) recognized during the third quarter of 2024.
    • Book yield of fixed maturities was 4.6% at September 30, 2025, compared to 4.4% at September 30, 2024. The market yield was 4.8% at September 30, 2025.

    7 Change in net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities is calculated by taking net unrealized gains (losses) at period end less net unrealized gains (losses) at the prior period end.

    8 The average cash and investments balance is the average of the monthly fair value balances.

    9 Pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in SEC Regulation G. The reconciliation to pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, also included foreign exchange (losses) gains of $(15) million and $70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and foreign exchange (losses) gains of $129 million and $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

    12 Net deferred tax benefit is due to the recognition of deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities related to Bermuda corporate income tax that is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

    13 Tax expense (benefit) associated with the adjustments to net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders. Tax impact is estimated by applying the statutory rates of applicable jurisdictions.

    14 Annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE") is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in SEC Regulation G. The reconciliation to annualized ROACE, the most comparable GAAP financial measure is presented in the table above, and a discussion of the rationale for its presentation is provided later in this press release.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. This press release or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may include forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this press release are forward-looking statements. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "should", "could", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "plan", "believe", "predict", "potential", "aim", "will", "target", "intend" or similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature or their negative or similar terminology.

    Forward-looking statements made in this press release, such as those related to our performance, pricing, growth prospects, the outcome of our strategic initiatives, our expectations relating to our ability to successfully implement and manage technology initiatives – including artificial intelligence, our expectations about the current trade and geopolitical environment on our business, economic and market conditions, and other statements that are not historical facts, reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

    Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including without limitation:

    Insurance Risk: the cyclical nature of insurance and reinsurance business leading to periods with excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates; the frequency and severity of natural and man-made catastrophes; the effects of emerging claims, systemic risks, and coverage and regulatory issues; reserve adequacy; losses relating to geopolitical conflicts; the adverse impact of social and economic inflation; failure of our loss limitation methods; failure of our cedants to adequately evaluate risk; and our reliance on industry models.

    Strategic Risk: industry competition and consolidation; general economic, capital, and credit market conditions, including market illiquidity, fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, equity securities' prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and evolving impacts of tariffs, sanctions, and international trade tensions; our ability to increase the use of data and analytics and technology as part of our business strategy and adapt to new technologies; changes in the political environment of certain countries where we operate or underwrite business; loss of business provided to us by major brokers; rating agency actions; key personnel changes; potential strategic opportunities including acquisitions and our ability to achieve them; evolving expectations regarding environmental, social, and governance matters; and the effect of contagious diseases on our business.

    Credit and Market Risk: reinsurance availability and recoverability; premium collection risks; and counterparty defaults in our program business.

    Liquidity Risk: the inability to access sufficient cash to meet our obligations when they are due.

    Operational Risk: technology and cybersecurity challenges; failures in internal or outsourced operational processes, people, or systems; and changes in accounting policies or practices.

    Regulatory Risk: changes in laws and regulations and potential government intervention in our industry; and inadvertent non-compliance with sanctions, anti-corruption, data protection and privacy requirements.

    Taxation Risk: change in tax laws.

    Readers should carefully consider these risks alongside those detailed in Item 1A, 'Risk Factors' of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and in subsequent filings available at www.sec.gov.

    We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

    Rationale for the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We present our results of operations in a way we believe will be meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements we use are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules and regulations. In this press release, we present underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, consolidated underwriting income (loss), current accident year loss ratio, catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio, current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, current accident year combined ratio, current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses, operating income (loss) (in total and on a per share basis), annualized operating return on average common equity ("operating ROACE"), amounts presented on a constant currency basis and pre-tax total return on cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in SEC Regulation G. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

    Underwriting-Related General and Administrative Expenses

    Underwriting-related general and administrative expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in the 'Segment Information' note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

    Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our worldwide insurance and reinsurance operations and costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

    The reconciliation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses to general and administrative expenses, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Segmental Data' section of this press release.

    Consolidated Underwriting Income (Loss)

    Consolidated underwriting income (loss) is a pre-tax measure of underwriting profitability that takes into account net premiums earned and other insurance related income (loss) as revenues and net losses and loss expenses, acquisition costs and underwriting-related general and administrative expenses as expenses. While this measure is presented in the 'Segment Information' note to our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere on a consolidated basis.

    We evaluate our underwriting results separately from the performance of our investment portfolio. As a result, we believe it is appropriate to exclude net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from our underwriting profitability measure.

    Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities, and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses), and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to our underwriting performance. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

    Interest expense and financing costs primarily relate to interest payable on our debt and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As these expenses are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these expenses are excluded from underwriting-related general and administrative expenses, and therefore, consolidated underwriting income (loss).

    Reorganization expenses in 2024 primarily related to severance costs attributable to our "How We Work" program which is focused on simplifying our operating structure. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

    Amortization of intangible assets arose from business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from consolidated underwriting income (loss).

    We believe that the presentation of underwriting-related general and administrative expenses and consolidated underwriting income (loss) provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying pre-tax profitability of our underwriting activities. The reconciliation of consolidated underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Segmental Data' section of this press release.

    Current Accident Year Loss Ratio

    Current accident year loss ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development. We believe that the presentation of current accident year loss ratio provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting net losses and loss expenses associated with our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development. The reconciliation of current accident year loss ratio to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights' section of this press release.

    Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses Ratio and Current Accident Year Loss Ratio, excluding Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses

    Catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio represents net losses and loss expenses ratio associated with natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, other catastrophe events and other weather-related events exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development.

    Current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses represents net losses and loss expenses ratio exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development and net losses and loss expenses associated with natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, other catastrophe events and other weather-related events.

    We believe that the presentation of these ratios that separately identify net losses and loss expenses associated with catastrophe and weather-related events provide investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the occurrence of these events, the potential magnitude of these losses and the complexity that affects our ability to accurately estimate ultimate losses associated with these events.

    The reconciliation of catastrophe and weather-related losses ratio and current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses to net losses and loss expenses ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights' section of this press release.

    Current Accident Year Combined Ratio

    Current accident year combined ratio represents underwriting results exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development. We believe that the presentation of current accident year combined ratio provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the profitability of our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development. The reconciliation of current accident year combined ratio to combined ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights' section of this press release.

    Current Accident Year Combined Ratio, excluding Catastrophe and Weather-Related Losses

    Current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses represents underwriting results exclusive of net favorable (adverse) prior year reserve development and net losses and loss expenses associated with natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, other catastrophe events and other weather-related events.

    We believe that the presentation of current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses provides investors with an enhanced understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the profitability of our underwriting activities excluding the impact of volatile prior year reserve development and by separately identifying net losses and loss expenses associated with catastrophe and weather-related events due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the occurrence of these events, the potential magnitude of these losses and the complexity that affects our ability to accurately estimate ultimate losses associated with these events.

    The reconciliation of current accident year combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and weather-related losses to combined ratio, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Consolidated Underwriting Highlights' section of this press release.

    Operating Income (Loss)

    Operating income (loss) represents after-tax operational results exclusive of net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, interest in income (loss) of equity method investments and Bermuda net deferred tax asset.

    Although the investment of premiums to generate income and investment gains (losses) is an integral part of our operations, the determination to realize investment gains (losses) is independent of the underwriting process and is heavily influenced by the availability of market opportunities. Furthermore, many users believe that the timing of the realization of investment gains (losses) is somewhat opportunistic for many companies.

    Foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations primarily relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on net insurance-related liabilities. However, we manage our investment portfolio in such a way that unrealized and realized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our investment portfolio, including unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our equity securities and foreign exchange losses (gains) realized on the sale of our available for sale investments and equity securities recognized in net investment gains (losses) and unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) on our available for sale investments in other comprehensive income (loss), generally offset a large portion of the foreign exchange losses (gains) arising from our underwriting portfolio, thereby minimizing the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on total shareholders' equity. As a result, we believe that foreign exchange losses (gains) in our consolidated statements of operations in isolation are not a meaningful contributor to the performance of our business. Therefore, foreign exchange losses (gains) are excluded from operating income (loss).

    Reorganization expenses in 2024 primarily related to severance costs attributable to our "How We Work" program which is focused on simplifying our operating structure. Reorganization expenses are primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, these expenses are excluded from operating income (loss).

    Interest in income (loss) of equity method investments is primarily driven by business decisions, the nature and timing of which are not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, this income (loss) is excluded from operating income (loss).

    Bermuda net deferred tax asset is due to the recognition of deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities related to Bermuda corporate income tax that is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Bermuda net deferred tax asset is not related to the underwriting process. Therefore, this income is excluded from operating income (loss).

    Certain users of our financial statements evaluate performance exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, interest in income (loss) of equity method investments and Bermuda net deferred tax asset in order to understand the profitability of recurring sources of income.

    We believe that showing net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders exclusive of after-tax net investment gains (losses), foreign exchange losses (gains), reorganization expenses, interest in income (loss) of equity method investments and Bermuda net deferred tax asset reflects the underlying fundamentals of our business. In addition, we believe that this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze performance in a manner similar to how our management analyzes the underlying business performance. We also believe this measure follows industry practice and, therefore, facilitates comparison of our performance with our peer group. We believe that equity analysts and certain rating agencies that follow us, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation' section of this press release.

    We also present operating income (loss) per diluted common share and annualized operating ROACE, which are derived from the operating income (loss) measure and are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, earnings (loss) per diluted common share and annualized return on average common equity ("ROACE"), respectively, in the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation' section of this press release.

    Constant Currency Basis

    We present gross premiums written and net premiums written on a constant currency basis in this press release. The amounts presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by applying the average foreign exchange rate from the current year to the prior year amounts. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze growth in gross premiums written and net premiums written on a constant basis. The reconciliation to gross premiums written and net premiums written on a GAAP basis is presented in the 'Insurance Segment' and 'Reinsurance Segment' sections of this press release.

    Pre-Tax, Total Return on Average Cash and Investments excluding Foreign Exchange Movements

    Pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements measures net investment income (loss), net investments gains (losses), interest in income (loss) of equity method investments, and change in unrealized gains (losses) generated by average cash and investment balances. We believe this presentation enables investors and other users of our financial information to analyze the performance of our investment portfolio. The reconciliation of pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments excluding foreign exchange movements to pre-tax, total return on average cash and investments, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the 'Investments' section of this press release.
