Second Quarter Results
In Q2 2023, we anticipate strong operating earnings per share of $0.53-$0.56. Book value is estimated at $530 million and operating ROE is expected to exceed 19%.
Update on Run-Off Program
As previously disclosed, we anticipate one-time impacts from the run-off of a US program through 2023.
- A positive estimated after-tax impact to net income of $5 million for the second quarter of 2023, driven by earned premium on the program and mitigated by run-off costs and costs of protection.
- A negative estimated after-tax impact to net income in the range of $18 – $23 million in the second-half of 2023, driven by costs of protection, other run-off costs and mitigated by earned premium on the program.
- In the event of a 1-in-250 year hurricane at peak storm season (September 30th, 2023), Trisura’s retention on the run-off program is estimated to be 6% to 8% of capital.
