ITEM 2.02 DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On February 7, 2024, the registrant issued a news release announcing its fourth quarter 2023 results. A copy of that news release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The news release furnished herewith contains information regarding the registrant’s operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) differs from net income (loss) attributable to Everest Group, the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principle financial measure, by the exclusion of net gains (losses) on investments and net foreign exchange income (expense). Management believes that presentation of operating income (loss) provides useful information to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the registrant’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from both the management of the registrant’s investment portfolio and the fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, management, analysts and investors use operating income (loss) to evaluate the financial performance of the registrant and the insurance industry in general.

In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report, including exhibits, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.

Everest Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Results

Record Annual Net Income of $2.5 billion and Operating Income of $2.8 billion

Annual 20.9% Net Income ROE and 23.1% Operating Income ROE; TSR1 of 26.5%

Fourth Quarter Net Income of $804 million and Operating Income of $1.1 billion

Well Positioned in 2024 Following Outstanding 1/1 Renewals

HAMILTON, Bermuda – (BUSINESS WIRE) – February 7, 2024 – Everest Group, Ltd. (NYSE: EG), a global underwriting leader providing best-in-class property, casualty, and specialty reinsurance and insurance solutions, today reported its fourth quarter 2023 results.

Full Year 2023 Highlights

•20.9% Net Income ROE and 23.1% Operating Income ROE; Total Shareholder Return of 26.5%1

•$16.6 billion in gross written premium with year-over-year growth of 20.9%2 as reported for the Group, 26.4%2 for Reinsurance, and 10.3%2 for Insurance

•Combined ratios of 90.9% for the Group, 86.4% for Reinsurance and 103.0% for Insurance

•Group attritional combined ratio of 86.9% when excluding the impact of 0.7 points from profit commissions associated with net favorable loss reserve development versus 87.4% in the prior year

•$451 million of pre-tax catastrophe losses net of recoveries and reinstatement premiums, versus $945 million in the prior year

•Net investment income increased over $600 million to $1.4 billion, a company record

•Book value per share excluding unrealized gains (losses) on AFS fixed maturity investments increased 23.8% to $320.95 versus $259.18 at December 31, 2022

•Strong operating cashflow for the year of $4.6 billion, a company record

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

•23.8% Net Income ROE and 32.4% Operating Income ROE

•$4.3 billion in gross written premium with year-over-year growth of 18.3%2 for the Group, 21.9%2 for Reinsurance, and 11.6%2 for Insurance

•Combined ratios of 93.2% for the Group, 78.8% for Reinsurance and 132.4% for Insurance

•Group attritional combined ratio of 86.7% when excluding the impact of 2.6 points from profit commissions associated with favorable loss reserve development versus 87.3% in the prior year

•Net favorable development of approximately $5 million in prior year loss reserves, resulting in a decrease of 0.1 points on the combined ratio for the Group. Reinsurance benefited from favorable development of $397 million, largely from mortgage and short-tail lines. Insurance

reserves were strengthened by $392 million to address the impact of social inflation for long-tail lines, focused on the 2016 to 2019 accident years.

•$143 million of pre-tax catastrophe losses net of recoveries and reinstatement premiums, primarily driven by Hurricane Otis, versus $15 million in the prior year

•Net investment income improved to $411 million versus $210 million in the prior year fourth quarter, a company record, driven by strong fixed income and alternative investment returns

•Successful execution of our strategy to sell $3.3 billion of lower yielding bonds in the quarter, reinvesting the proceeds into higher-yielding securities with enhanced overall credit quality, contributing to after-tax net realized losses of approximately $211 million and extending duration from 2.7 to 3.3 years sequentially. This is expected to add significant additional interest income in 2024 and beyond.

•Recognized a $578 million tax benefit from realized deferred taxes accrued driven by the change in Bermuda tax law. This is a preliminary estimate and subject to change.

•Strong operating cashflow for the quarter of $1.0 billion, in-line with the prior year quarter

•With the successful completion of January 1 renewals, we were able to fully deploy the remaining capital raised in May, as well as optimize our hedging strategy

Footnote 2 denotes constant currency figure and excludes reinstatement premiums

“Everest's strong fourth quarter performance capped off an exceptional 2023, delivering record annual results in underwriting income, net investment income, operating income, net income, and cash flow from operations. We executed on our strategic objectives, while delivering an operating ROE of over 23% and a Total Shareholder Return of over 26% for the full year," said Juan C. Andrade, Everest President and CEO. "2023 was the most profitable year in our history. The Everest of today is a stronger and more sophisticated company. We are delivering leading financial returns and we are on track to achieve the targets we set out at our most recent Investor Day. The strength and flexibility of our business was apparent in the fourth quarter as we continued to generate leading returns and further solidified our balance sheet. Everest has entered 2024 stronger and better positioned to take advantage of market opportunities in both franchises. This is evidenced by another well-executed and outstanding January 1 reinsurance renewal and improved primary pricing, generating excellent outcomes for our global portfolio. Looking ahead, we remain focused on achieving our strategic plan goals, with significant momentum across both businesses, and an exceptional team driving even greater value for our shareholders."

Reinsurance Segment – Quarterly Highlights

•Gross written premiums grew 21.9% on a constant dollar basis and excluding reinstatement premiums, to approximately $2.9 billion. Growth was broad-based across geographies and lines.

•Growth was driven by 39.2% growth in Property Pro-Rata, 23.3% growth in Property Catastrophe XOL, and 45.2% growth in Property Non-Catastrophe XOL, when adjusting for reinstatement premiums, as pricing increases and a flight to quality continue globally.

•Robust pricing momentum continued in the fourth quarter, with Cat pricing up over 45% with improved terms/conditions.

•Attritional loss ratio improved 40-basis points over last year to 57.8%, while the attritional combined ratio improved 90-basis points to 85.1%, when excluding the impact of 3.6 points from profit commissions associated with favorable loss reserve development.

•Net favorable prior year development of $397 million, primarily driven by a combination of well-seasoned mortgage and short-tail lines.

•Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $135 million net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, driven by Hurricane Otis as well as a number of mid-sized events globally.

Insurance Segment – Quarterly Highlights

•Gross written premiums rose to $1.4 billion, a 11.6% increase year-over-year in constant dollars, driven by a diversified mix of property and specialty lines, partially offset by lower written premiums in monoline workers' compensation and financial lines.

•Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $8 million, net of estimated recoveries and reinstatement premiums, relatively in-line with the prior year.

•Net reserve strengthening of $392 million, reflecting our proactive approach to casualty line reserves, which are impacted by well-defined social inflation factors, focused on accident years 2016 to 2019.

•Attritional loss ratio improved 70-basis points over last year to 62.6%, driven by favorable current year loss experience and business mix.

•Expense ratio of 28.2% with continued investment in systems, talent, and our global platform.

•Pricing continues to exceed loss trend.

_______________________________________________

The Company generally uses after-tax operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its performance. After-tax operating income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding after-tax net gains (losses) on investments and after-tax net foreign exchange income (expense) as the following reconciliation displays:

(Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

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. 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 operating income (loss) in their analyses for the reasons discussed above. The Company provides after-tax 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.

On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, which will apply a 15% corporate income tax to certain Bermuda businesses in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The act includes a provision referred to as the economic transition adjustment, which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime, and results in a deferred tax benefit for the Company. Pursuant to this legislation, the Company has estimated a $578 million net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023. This amount could be subject to change. Any changes will be reflected in the 4th quarter of 2023 as presented in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K filing. Net income (loss), after-tax operating income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted common share, after-tax operating income (loss) per diluted common share, net income ROE, operating income ROE, total shareholder return, book value per common share, and adjusted book value per common share excluding URAD excluding the benefit associated with the net deferred tax asset is displayed in the following reconciliation:
