Max Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MXGL) (BSX:MXGL.BH) (“Max”) today
reported net income of $36.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to net income of
$44.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009.
Net operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $40.7
million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to net operating
income of $46.9 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, last year.
Annualized net operating return on average shareholders’ equity for
the first quarter of 2010 was 10.2%.
W. Marston (Marty) Becker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Max, said: “The continuation of Max’s very solid financial
results this quarter reflects the balance, diversification and
flexibility that are the cornerstones of our business model. Where
market conditions continue to provide attractive returns, we are
well positioned to expand our presence, while scaling back in areas
with softer pricing. As a result, our combined ratios have been
maintained at strong levels even as we have decreased gross
premiums written.
“Another key factor in the quarter was our relatively low
property catastrophe losses. Considering the size of the industry
losses for the headline cat events during the first quarter, we
believe our estimated losses of approximately $10.0 million
illustrate our conservative underwriting strategy, which is
designed to limit our exposure to property cat events.
“Looking forward, our new Latin America team is firmly
establishing itself in the market, and we expect it to make a
meaningful contribution to group results before the end of this
year.
“Most importantly, our ability to write a broad mix of short-
and long-tail product lines from multiple jurisdictions should be
further enhanced as a result of our pending merger with Harbor
Point, which was approved by Max’s and Harbor Point’s respective
shareholders on April 29. Once the closing occurs, the combined
entity, which will be branded as Alterra Capital Holdings Limited,
will bring together the first-class reinsurance group at Harbor
Point with Max’s broad base of established underwriting platforms
in major insurance markets worldwide. We are excited by the many
opportunities that the enhanced capital base and scale of Alterra
will bring to all of our underwriting platforms,” Becker added.

- Property and casualty gross
premiums written of $370.3 million, representing a decrease of
$63.4 million, or (14.6)%; net premiums written of $217.2 million,
representing a decrease of $52.2 million, or (19.4)%; and net
premiums earned of $193.5 million, representing an increase of $3.7

operating return on average shareholders’ equity of 10.2%; and
- Book value per diluted share of

Gross premiums written from property and casualty underwriting
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $370.3 million, generated
by the segments as follows: insurance $66.4 million; reinsurance
$154.9 million; U.S. specialty $76.9 million; and Max at Lloyd’s
$72.1 million.
Segment combined ratios for the first quarter of 2010 were 86.1%
for insurance, 92.7% for reinsurance, 98.8% for U.S. specialty and
82.5% for Max at Lloyd’s.
Gross premiums written decreased by $21.3 million or (24.3)% for
insurance and by $78.1 million or (33.5)% for reinsurance. Gross
premiums written increased by $8.1 million, or 11.8% for U.S.
specialty and by $27.9 million, or 63.1%, for Max at Lloyd’s
compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2009. There were no new
contracts written within the life and annuity segment during the
first quarter of 2010.
Balance Sheet
Total invested assets, including cash and cash equivalents, were
$5.3 billion at March 31, 2010, an increase of $85.4 million from
December 31, 2009. The credit quality of Max’s fixed maturities
investment portfolio remains high. At March 31, 2010, 95.9% of the
fixed maturities portfolio (by carrying value) was
investment-grade, compared to 96.7% at December 31, 2009. Max
recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses through earnings
of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to no
impairment losses during the same period in 2009.
Net investment income for the first quarter of 2010 increased to
$48.4 million from $40.5 million for the same period in 2009. The
increase in net investment income reflects a reduction in cash
balances and increased allocation to higher-yielding fixed maturity
securities.
During the first quarter of 2010, under the Board-approved share
repurchase authorization, Max repurchased 516,957 of its common
shares at an average price of $23.00 per share for a total amount
of $11.9 million. There were no repurchases of common shares in the
first quarter of 2009.
Shareholders’ equity was $1,613.1 million at March 31, 2010, an
increase of 3.1% over December 31, 2009. Book value per share at
March 31, 2010 was $28.31 compared to $28.01 at December 31, 2009,
an increase of 1.1%. Book value per diluted share at March 31, 2010
was $27.86 compared to $27.36 at December 31, 2009, an increase of
1.8%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting Max’s results, management has included and
discussed net operating income per diluted share, net operating
return on average shareholders’ equity, book value per share and
diluted book value per share. Such measures are “non-GAAP financial
measures” as defined in Regulation G. Management believes that
these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined differently
by other companies, allow for a more complete understanding of
Max’s business. These measures, however, should not be viewed as a
substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The
reconciliation of such measures to their respective most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented in the
attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.
