NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of White Mountains. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reportable Segments

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains conducted its operations through four reportable segments: (1) Ark/WM Outrigger, (2) HG Global, (3) Kudu and (4) Bamboo, with our remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) and its Board of Directors. See Note 14 — “Segment Information.”

The Ark/WM Outrigger segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”) and Outrigger Re Ltd. Segregated Account 2023-1 (“WM Outrigger Re”) (collectively with Ark, “Ark/WM Outrigger”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, specialty, marine & energy, accident & health and casualty. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 and Additional Central Settlement Number (“ACSN”) 3832 (collectively, the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains owned 72.1 % of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis ( 61.9 % after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees of Ark. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain thresholds for its multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) return. If fully earned, these shares would represent an additional 12.3 % of the shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The liability related to these additional shares is recorded as contingent consideration. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd., a Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer and segregated accounts company, to provide collateralized reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio for the 2023 underwriting year. Ark renewed its quota share reinsurance agreement with Outrigger Re Ltd. for the 2024 and 2025 underwriting years. White Mountains consolidates the results of its segregated account, WM Outrigger Re, in its financial statements. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains owned 100.0 % of WM Outrigger Re’s preferred equity.

The HG Global segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “HG Global”) and, prior to its deconsolidation on July 1, 2024, the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide first-loss reinsurance protection of up to 15 %-of-par outstanding for each policy assumed from BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $ 503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains owned 96.9 % of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4 % of its common equity.

White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, through June 30, 2024, White Mountains was required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which White Mountains was the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results were all attributed to noncontrolling interests. On July 1, 2024, HG Re and BAM amended the terms of the first-loss reinsurance treaty (“FLRT”) with respect to certain governance rights held by HG Re. As a result, and in combination with other governance changes at BAM, White Mountains concluded that it no longer has the power to direct BAM’s activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and is no longer BAM’s primary beneficiary. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. Through June 30, 2024, BAM’s results of operations were presented within the HG Global segment. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”

The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic advice to managers from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions generally are structured as noncontrolling equity interests in the form of revenue and earnings participation contracts (“Participation Contracts”) and designed to generate immediate cash yields. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains owned 91.2 % and 90.4 % of Kudu’s basic units outstanding ( 77.9 % and 77.0 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management’s equity incentives).

The Bamboo segment consists of PM Holdings LLC (“Bamboo Holdings”), Bamboo Ide8 Insurance Services LLC (“Bamboo MGA”) and Ide8 Re, Inc. (the “Bamboo Captive”) (collectively with Bamboo Holdings and Bamboo MGA, “Bamboo”). Bamboo is a capital-light, tech- and data-enabled insurance distribution platform providing homeowners’ insurance and related products to the residential property market in California. Bamboo operates primarily through Bamboo MGA, its full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) business, where the company manages all aspects of the placement process on behalf of its fronting and reinsurance carrier partners (“Capacity Providers”), including product development, marketing, underwriting, policy issuance and claims oversight, and it earns commissions based on the volume and profitability of the insurance that it places. Bamboo MGA offers both admitted and non-admitted products. Under its capacity agreements, Bamboo MGA’s commission levels are based on a sliding scale tied primarily to its attritional loss ratio. Bamboo also operates two separate but integrated businesses: (i) a retail agency, within Bamboo MGA, offering ancillary products (e.g., flood, earthquake) on behalf of third parties and (ii) the Bamboo Captive, a U.S.-domiciled captive reinsurer that participates in the underwriting risk of Bamboo’s MGA programs to align interests with Capacity Providers. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Bamboo Captive redomiciled from Bermuda to Arizona and changed its name from Ide8 Limited to Ide8 Re, Inc. On January 2, 2024, White Mountains acquired a controlling interest in Bamboo. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains owned 72.8 % of the basic units outstanding of Bamboo ( 63.7 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management’s equity incentives).

White Mountains’s other operations consist of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), DavidShield PassportCard Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “PassportCard/DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), White Mountains Partners LLC (“WTM Partners”), a Bermuda special purpose collateralized reinsurance vehicle that provides reinsurance capacity to Bamboo (the “Bamboo CRV”), certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets (collectively, “Other Operations”). On April 1, 2025, White Mountains acquired a majority interest in Enterprise Electric, LLC d/b/a Enterprise Solutions (“Enterprise Solutions”). See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” Enterprise Solutions’ assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests, as well as its results of operations, are presented within Other Operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for White Mountains’s significant accounting policies.

Note 2. Significant Transactions

Bamboo

On October 19, 2023, White Mountains entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Bamboo Merger Agreement”) with Bamboo MGA and John Chu, as the unitholders’ representative. Under the terms of the Bamboo Merger Agreement, White Mountains’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WM Pierce Merger Sub LLC, agreed to merge with and into Bamboo MGA, with Bamboo MGA continuing as the surviving company (the “Bamboo Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Bamboo Merger Agreement, certain Bamboo management unitholders agreed to roll over the majority of their existing equity in Bamboo MGA into Bamboo Holdings. White Mountains also agreed to make an equity contribution to Bamboo immediately following the Bamboo Merger (together with the Bamboo Merger and the rollover transactions, the “Bamboo Transaction”).

On January 2, 2024, White Mountains closed the Bamboo Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Bamboo Merger Agreement, investing $ 296.7 million of equity into Bamboo, which included the contribution of $ 36.0 million to retire Bamboo’s legacy credit facility and the contribution of $ 20.0 million of primary capital. At closing, White Mountains owned 72.8 % of Bamboo on a basic shares outstanding basis ( 63.7 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management’s equity incentives), while Bamboo management owned 16.1 % of basic shares outstanding ( 26.6 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management’s equity incentives).

White Mountains recognized total assets acquired related to the Bamboo Transaction of $ 479.5 million, total liabilities assumed of $ 91.7 million and noncontrolling interest of $ 111.1 million reflecting acquisition date fair values. Total assets acquired included $ 371.4 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. In connection with the acquisition, White Mountains incurred transaction costs of $ 4.0 million in Other Operations, of which $ 0.3 million were expensed in the first quarter of 2024.

The following presents additional details of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the January 2, 2024 acquisition date:


Millions	As of January 2, 2024
Fixed maturity investments, at fair value	$	8.2
Short-term investments, at fair value	9.3
Cash (restricted $ 37.0 )	44.9		(1)
Premiums and commissions receivable	38.0
Other assets	7.7
Total tangible assets	108.1

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves	( 9.3 )
Unearned insurance premiums	( 20.1 )
Premiums and commissions payable	( 49.2 )
Other liabilities	( 13.1 )
Total tangible liabilities	( 91.7 )
Net tangible assets acquired	16.4

Goodwill	270.4
Other intangible assets	101.0
Total goodwill and other intangible assets	371.4
Net assets acquired	$	387.8

(1) Cash excludes the White Mountains cash contribution of $ 20.0 as part of the Bamboo Transaction, which was not part of the purchase consideration.

Net tangible assets acquired and the resulting goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The majority of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying values, as their carrying values approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of other intangible assets were internally estimated based primarily on the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that the assets are expected to generate in the future. White Mountains developed internal estimates for the expected future cash flows and discount rates used in the present value calculations. See Note 4 — “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

The value of the noncontrolling interest is recorded at the acquisition date fair value, based on the valuation implied in the Bamboo Transaction.

Bamboo’s segment income and expenses since acquisition are presented in Note 14 — “Segment Information.”

BAM

On July 1, 2024, HG Re and BAM amended the terms of the FLRT with respect to certain governance rights held by HG Re. As a result, and in combination with other governance changes at BAM, White Mountains concluded that it no longer has the power to direct BAM’s activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and is no longer BAM’s primary beneficiary. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. See Note 15 — “Variable Interest Entities.” Through June 30, 2024, BAM’s results of operations were presented within the HG Global segment.

Upon deconsolidation, the BAM Surplus Notes met the criteria to be accounted for under the fair value option, which White Mountains elected. Accordingly, the BAM Surplus Notes, including accrued interest receivable, were carried at fair value of $ 387.4 million as of July 1, 2024, which resulted in an unrealized loss on deconsolidation of $ 114.5 million. This fair value included the impact of a discount for the time value of money, which was previously included in adjusted book value per share as a non-GAAP adjustment to book value per share. See Note 10 — “Municipal Bond Guarantee Reinsurance” for the valuation techniques and inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the BAM Surplus Notes.

WM Outrigger Re

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd., a Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer and segregated accounts company, to provide reinsurance capacity to Ark. Outrigger Re Ltd. was initially capitalized with $ 250.0 million of preference shares for business written in the 2023 underwriting year, of which White Mountains contributed $ 205.0 million. The remaining capital was provided by third-party investors. Outrigger Re Ltd. entered into collateralized quota share agreements with GAIL to provide reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio written for the 2023 underwriting year. The proceeds from the issuance of the preference shares were deposited into collateral trust accounts to fund any potential obligations under the reinsurance agreements with GAIL. Outrigger Re Ltd.’s obligations under the reinsurance agreements with GAIL are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in the collateral trusts at any point in time. The terms of the reinsurance agreements are renewable upon the mutual agreement of Ark and the applicable preference shareholder of Outrigger Re Ltd.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, Ark renewed Outrigger Re Ltd. for the 2024 underwriting year with $ 250.0 million of capital. White Mountains rolled over $ 130.0 million from its commitment to the 2023 underwriting year and received a return of capital of $ 75.0 million during 2024 as a result of its reduced capital commitment. The remaining capital was provided by third-party investors.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Ark renewed Outrigger Re Ltd. for the 2025 underwriting year with $ 230.0 million of capital. White Mountains’s total commitment was $ 150.0 million, of which $ 130.0 million was rolled over from its commitment to the 2024 underwriting year. The remaining capital was provided by third-party investors. The reduced capacity at Outrigger Re Ltd. was replaced by Ark through traditional quota share reinsurance agreements.

White Mountains owns 100% of the preference shares linked to its segregated account, WM Outrigger Re. White Mountains consolidates WM Outrigger Re’s results in its financial statements. WM Outrigger Re’s quota share reinsurance agreement with GAIL eliminates in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, White Mountains received a return of capital of $ 68.1 million from WM Outrigger Re as a result of its reduced capital commitment relating to the 2024 underwriting year. During 2024, WM Outrigger Re commuted its reinsurance agreement with GAIL for the 2023 underwriting year.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, WM Outrigger Re held investments of $ 220.2 million and $ 203.7 million in a collateral trust.

Enterprise Solutions

On April 1, 2025, White Mountains acquired a majority interest in Enterprise Solutions (the “Enterprise Solutions Transaction”). Enterprise Solutions provides specialty electrical contracting services to commercial and institutional customers. White Mountains funded the Enterprise Solutions Transaction through a combination of cash on hand and new borrowings by Enterprise Solutions. White Mountains paid $ 58.3 million of cash consideration, which included a post-acquisition contribution of $ 1.5 million, and Enterprise Solutions borrowed $ 15.0 million in new debt as part of the transaction. At closing, White Mountains owned 65.5 % of Enterprise Solutions on both a basic shares outstanding and fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management’s equity incentives. This is the first acquisition by WTM Partners.

White Mountains recognized total assets acquired related to Enterprise Solutions of $ 176.6 million, total liabilities assumed of $ 74.4 million and noncontrolling interest of $ 30.7 million, reflecting provisional acquisition date fair values. Total assets acquired included $ 95.4 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. In connection with the acquisition, White Mountains incurred transaction costs of $ 3.0 million in Other Operations, of which $ 1.3 million was expensed in the second quarter of 2025.

Note 3. Investment Securities

White Mountains’s portfolio of investment securities held for general investment purposes consists of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments, common equity securities, its investment in MediaAlpha and other long-term investments. White Mountains’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments, including those within short-term investments, is classified as trading securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Short-term investments also include interest-bearing money market funds and certificates of deposit that are carried at fair value. White Mountains’s portfolio of common equity securities, its investment in MediaAlpha and other long-term investments are measured at fair value. Other long-term investments consist primarily of unconsolidated entities, Kudu’s Participation Contracts, private equity funds and hedge funds, a bank loan fund, Lloyd’s trust deposits, insurance-linked securities (“ILS”) funds and private debt instruments. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its equity method eligible investments. See Note 16 — “ Equity Method Eligible Investments. ” Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) are reported in pre-tax revenues.

Effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. Through June 30, 2024, White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements included BAM’s investment results. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”

Net Investment Income

White Mountains’s net investment income is comprised primarily of interest income associated with White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments and short-term investments, dividend income from common equity securities and distributions from other long-term investments.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (unobservable inputs). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (Level 1), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (Level 2) and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (Level 3). See Note 17 — “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Fair Value Measurements By Level

The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, foreign governments and agencies, municipalities, entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities or entities issuing collateralized loan obligations vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index.

The investment in the bank loan fund is subject to restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains may redeem all or a portion of its bank loan fund investment as of any calendar month-end upon 15 calendar days advanced written notice.

Lloyd’s Trust Deposits

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include Lloyd’s trust deposits, which consist of non-U.K. deposits and Canadian comingled pooled funds. The Lloyd’s trust deposits invest primarily in short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds held in trusts that are managed by Lloyd's of London. These investments are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. The fair value of the Lloyd’s trust deposits is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $ 159.0 million and $ 149.9 million.

ILS Funds

White Mountains’s other long-term investments include ILS fund investments. The fair value of these investments is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains held investments in ILS funds with a fair value of $ 73.6 million and $ 74.0 million.

Investments in ILS funds are generally subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, non-renewal clauses, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. From time to time, natural catastrophe, liquidity, market or other events will occur that make the determination of fair value for underlying investments in ILS funds less certain due to the potential for loss development. In such circumstances, the impacted investments may be subject to additional lock-up provisions.

ILS funds are typically subject to monthly and annual restrictions on redemptions and advance redemption notice period requirements that range between 30 and 90 calendar days. Amounts requested for redemption remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which is generally at the end of the defined redemption period or when the underlying investment has fully matured or been commuted.

Rollforward of Level 3 Investments

Level 3 measurements as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 consist of securities for which the estimated fair value has not been determined based upon quoted market price inputs for identical or similar securities. The following table presents the changes in White Mountains’s fair value measurements for Level 3 investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

White Mountains accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, White Mountains recognizes and measures the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration liabilities, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid to acquire a business over the fair value of identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The estimated acquisition date fair values, generally consisting of intangible assets and contingent consideration liabilities, may be recorded at provisional amounts in circumstances where the information necessary to complete the acquisition accounting is not available at the reporting date. Any such provisional amounts are finalized as measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date.

The following table presents the economic life, acquisition date fair value, accumulated amortization and net carrying value for other intangible assets and goodwill as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Note 6. Third-Party Reinsurance

P&C Insurance and Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, Ark may seek to limit losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events by reinsuring certain risks with third-party reinsurers. Ark remains liable for risks reinsured in the event that the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts.

The following table summarizes the effects of reinsurance on written and earned premiums and loss and LAE for the Ark/WM Outrigger segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

As reinsurance contracts do not relieve Ark of its obligation to its policyholders, Ark seeks to reduce the credit risk associated with reinsurance balances by avoiding over-reliance on specific reinsurers through the application of concentration limits and thresholds. Ark is selective with its reinsurers, placing reinsurance with only those reinsurers having a strong financial condition. Ark monitors the financial strength of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis.

The following table presents the Ark/WM Outrigger segment’s gross and net reinsurance recoverables by the reinsurers’ A.M. Best Company, Inc (“A.M. Best”) ratings as of June 30, 2025:

Ark Subordinated Notes

In March 2007, GAIL issued $ 30.0 million face value of floating rate unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest notes (the “Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes”), which had a maturity date of June 2037. During the first quarter of 2024, Ark repaid the outstanding balance of $ 30.0 million and extinguished the Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes.

In the third quarter of 2021, GAIL issued $ 163.3 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes at par in three separate transactions for proceeds of $ 157.8 million, net of debt issuance costs (collectively, the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes were issued in private placement offerings that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

On July 13, 2021, Ark issued € 39.1 million ($ 46.3 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of the date of the transaction) face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1, which mature in July 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 5.75 % per annum.

On August 11, 2021, Ark issued $ 47.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2, which mature in August 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a SOFR benchmark adjustment of 0.26 % and a stated margin of 5.75 % per annum.

On September 8, 2021, Ark issued $ 70.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3, which mature in September 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus a SOFR benchmark adjustment of 0.26 % and a stated margin of 6.1 % per annum.

On the ten-year anniversary of the issue dates, the interest rate for the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes will increase by 1.0 % per annum. Ark has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes ahead of contractual maturity at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest at the ten-year anniversary or any subsequent interest payment date.

All payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes are conditional upon GAIL’s solvency and compliance with the enhanced capital requirements of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”). The deferral of payments of principal and interest under these conditions does not constitute a default by Ark and does not give the noteholders any rights to accelerate repayment of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes or take any enforcement action under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes.

If the payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of Bermuda or any political subdivision there, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 require the payment of additional interest of 1.0 % per annum upon the occurrence of a premium load event until such event is remedied. Premium load events include the failure to meet payment obligations of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 when due, failure of GAIL to maintain an investment grade credit rating, failure to maintain 120 % of GAIL’s Bermuda solvency capital requirement, failure of GAIL to maintain a debt to capital ratio below 40 %, late filing of GAIL’s or Ark’s financial information, and making a restricted payment or distribution on GAIL’s common stock or other securities that rank junior or pari passu with the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 when a different premium load event exists or will be caused by the restricted payment. As of June 30, 2025, there were no premium load events.

As of June 30, 2025, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1 had an outstanding balance of € 39.1 million ($ 45.3 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of June 30, 2025), the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2 had an outstanding balance of $ 47.0 million, and the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 had an outstanding balance of $ 70.0 million.

The Ark Subordinated Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Ark Standby Letter of Credit Facilities

In December 2021, Ark entered into an uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreement with Citibank Europe Plc (the “Citibank LOC Facility”), with capacity of $ 125.0 million on a collateralized basis. In September 2022, Ark entered into an additional uncommitted standby letter of credit facility agreement with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets PLC (the “Lloyds LOC Facility”), with capacity of $ 100.0 million on a collateralized basis.

As of June 30, 2025, the Citibank LOC Facility had an outstanding balance of $ 82.7 million and cash and investments pledged as collateral of $ 104.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Lloyds LOC Facility had an outstanding balance of $ 27.6 million and cash and investments pledged as collateral of $ 38.7 million. Ark’s uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements contain various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

HG Global Senior Notes

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds from the issuance of its $ 150.0 million face value floating rate secured senior notes (the “HG Global Senior Notes”). The HG Global Senior Notes, which mature in April 2032, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus a SOFR benchmark adjustment of 0.26 % and a stated margin of 6.0 % per annum. Subsequent to the five-year anniversary of the funding date, absent the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global will be required to make payments of principal on a quarterly basis totaling $ 15.0 million annually. Upon the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global is required to use all available cash flow to repay the notes. Early amortization trigger events include scenarios in which HG Re is effectively in runoff. HG Global has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the HG Global Senior Notes after the five-year anniversary of the funding date at the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest.

On June 16, 2022, HG Global entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on July 25, 2022, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes (the “HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap”). Under the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap, the notional amount was $ 150.0 million, the maximum interest rate was 9.76 % per annum and the termination date was July 25, 2025. On August 22, 2024, HG Global entered into a new interest rate cap agreement, effective upon the termination of the prior interest rate cap (the “HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap”). Under the HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap, the initial notional amount is $ 150.0 million, the maximum interest rate is 10.76 % per annum and the termination date is July 25, 2028. See Note 9 — “Derivatives.”

The HG Global Senior Notes require HG Global to maintain an interest reserve account of eight times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period, subject to a maximum required balance of $ 29.3 million as of June 30, 2025. The interest reserve account held short-term investments of $ 29.3 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The HG Global Senior Notes are secured by the capital stock and other equity interests of HG Global’s subsidiaries, the interest reserve account, and all cash and non-cash proceeds from such collateral. The HG Global Senior Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

If the payment of principal and interest under the HG Global Senior Notes becomes subject to tax withholding on behalf of a relevant governmental authority for certain indemnified taxes, the HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional interest of 1.0 % per annum if the HG Global Senior Notes receive a non-investment grade rating or are no longer rated. As of June 30, 2025, the HG Global Senior Notes had an investment grade rating.

As of June 30, 2025, the HG Global Senior Notes had an outstanding balance of $ 150.0 million.

Kudu Credit Facility

On March 23, 2021, Kudu entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Kudu Credit Facility”) with Mass Mutual for a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 300.0 million. On June 28, 2024, Kudu amended the Kudu Credit Facility to increase the total commitment from $ 300.0 million to $ 350.0 million and revise the stated margin and SOFR benchmark adjustment. The amended terms also reduced the minimum debt service coverage ratio to 2.5 times for 2024, reverting back to 3.0 times for 2025 and thereafter. On March 18, 2025, Kudu amended the Kudu Credit Facility to reduce the required interest reserve account balance and lower the minimum debt service coverage ratio to 2.5 times. The amendments to the Kudu Credit Facility lowered Kudu’s borrowing costs and increased its borrowing capacity. The Kudu Credit Facility matures on March 23, 2036.

Through June 30, 2024, interest on the Kudu Credit Facility accrued at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus a SOFR benchmark adjustment of 0.26 % and a stated margin of 4.30 % ( 4.56 % in total) per annum. Effective July 2024, the Kudu Credit Facility accrues interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus a stated margin of 4.45 % per annum with no SOFR benchmark adjustment.

On September 17, 2024, Kudu entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on September 30, 2024, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the Kudu Credit Facility (the “Kudu Interest Rate Cap”). Under the Kudu Interest Rate Cap, the notional amount is $ 150.0 million, the maximum interest rate is 8.95 % per annum and the termination date is September 30, 2027. See Note 9 — “Derivatives.”

The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain an interest reserve account of two times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period. Prior to the March 18, 2025 amendment, Kudu was required to maintain an interest reserve account of four times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest reserve account held short-term investments of $ 7.8 million and $ 15.1 million.

The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain a maximum ratio of the outstanding balance to the sum of the fair market value of Kudu’s other long-term investments and cash held in certain accounts (the “LTV Percentage”) for annual periods after the June 28, 2024 amendment as follows: 50 % in years 0-3, 40 % in years 4-5, 25 % in years 6-7, 15 % in years 8-10 and 0 % thereafter. As of June 30, 2025, Kudu had a 22.2 % LTV Percentage.

The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of its trailing 12 months annualized adjusted EBITDA to its total debt service. Under the terms of the March 18, 2025 amendment, Kudu is required to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.5 times for 2025 and thereafter. As of June 30, 2025, Kudu had a debt service coverage ratio of 2.8 times.

Kudu may borrow undrawn balances until June 28, 2027, subject to customary terms and conditions, to the extent the amount borrowed under the Kudu Credit Facility does not exceed the borrowing base, which is equal to 35 % of the fair value of Kudu’s qualifying Participation Contracts.

The following table presents the change in debt under the Kudu Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions	2025		2024		2025		2024

The Kudu Credit Facility is secured by all property of the loan parties and contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings.

Bamboo Credit Facility

On January 24, 2025, Bamboo entered into a secured credit facility (the “Bamboo Credit Facility”). The Bamboo Credit Facility is comprised of a six-year term loan of $ 110 million and a revolving credit loan of $ 10 million. The Bamboo Credit Facility matures on January 24, 2031. Bamboo will be required to make payments of principal on a quarterly basis totaling $ 0.8 million for 2025 and $ 1.1 million annually thereafter. Commencing with the year ending December 31, 2026, Bamboo may also be required to use a percentage of excess cash flows to repay outstanding principal plus accrued interest if Bamboo’s total leverage ratio is above 1.5 times. Bamboo has the option to prepay, in whole or in part, the Bamboo Credit Facility subsequent to October 31, 2025 at the outstanding principal plus accrued interest. As of June 30, 2025, the revolving credit loan was undrawn.

Interest on the Bamboo Credit Facility accrues at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR plus a stated margin ranging from 4.5 % to 5.0 % per annum driven by Bamboo’s total leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, Bamboo’s total leverage ratio was 0.9 times, and the stated margin was 4.5 %.

On March 12, 2025, Bamboo entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on March 31, 2025, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the Bamboo Credit Facility (the “Bamboo Interest Rate Cap”). Under the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap, the notional amount is $ 80.0 million, the maximum interest rate is 10.0 % per annum, and the termination date is March 31, 2028. See Note 9 — “Derivatives.”

The following table presents the change in debt under the Bamboo Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:



Millions	Three Months Ended June 30, 2025		Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Bamboo Credit Facility
Beginning balance	$	110.0	$	—

Borrowings	—		110.0
Repayments	( .3 )		( .3 )



Ending balance	$	109.7	$	109.7

The Bamboo Credit Facility is secured by all property of the loan parties and contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.5 times.

Other Operations Debt

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s Other Operations had debt with an outstanding balance of $ 37.3 million, which consisted of five secured credit facilities (collectively, “Other Operations debt”). The increase in Other Operations debt as of June 30, 2025 was driven primarily by the Enterprise Solutions Transaction.

Compliance

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains was in compliance, in all material respects, with all of the covenants under its debt instruments.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various jurisdictions around the world and are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate.

As of June 30, 2025, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches operated and were subject to tax include Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Company and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries were not subject to income tax in Bermuda in 2024 and prior years. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that became effective on January 1, 2025. The Bermuda legislation defers the effective date for five years for Bermuda companies in consolidated groups that meet certain requirements. White Mountains expects to meet the requirements to be exempt from the Bermuda corporate income tax until January 1, 2030. The Bermuda legislation also provides for an economic transition adjustment that will reduce future years’ taxable income. Under GAAP, this economic transition adjustment was required to be recognized as a net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, White Mountains recorded a net deferred tax asset of $ 68.0 million, with $ 51.0 million attributable to Ark and $ 17.0 million attributable to HG Global. Effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. As a result of the deconsolidation, the BAM Surplus Notes were recorded at fair value, which resulted in the reversal of a $ 5.0 million deferred tax liability related to the economic transition adjustment. As of June 30, 2025, the net deferred tax asset related to the economic transition adjustment was $ 73.0 million, with $ 51.0 million attributable to Ark and $ 22.0 million attributable to HG Global.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to the global minimum tax regime of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two initiative, as enacted by Luxembourg and the United Kingdom in their respective domestic laws. The Pillar Two initiative includes a set of model rules that are generally designed to impose a top-up tax on a large multinational enterprise group to the extent the group is not subject to an effective tax rate of at least 15% in each jurisdiction in which the group has a consolidated affiliate or permanent establishment. The Company and its subsidiaries are forecasting a $ 2.0 million top-up tax for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 represented an effective tax rate of 7.3 % and 9.0 %. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 represented an effective tax rate of ( 18.7 %). The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by a change in forecasted income between jurisdictions for 2024.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented an effective tax rate of 8.7 %. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States.

In arriving at the effective tax rate for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, White Mountains forecasted all income and expense items including the change in net unrealized investment gains (losses) and net realized investment gains (losses) for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024.

White Mountains records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, White Mountains considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be sufficient to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in changes to White Mountains’s deferred tax assets and tax expense.

With few exceptions, White Mountains is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.

Note 9. Derivatives

HG Global Interest Rate Caps

HG Global entered into two interest rate cap agreements to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes.

On June 16, 2022, HG Global entered into the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap, effective on July 25, 2022. The notional amount of the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap was $ 150.0 million, and the termination date was July 25, 2025. HG Global paid an initial premium of $ 3.3 million for the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap.

On August 22, 2024, HG Global entered into the HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap, which is effective upon the termination of the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap on July 25, 2025. The initial notional amount of the HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap is $ 150.0 million, and the termination date is July 25, 2028. For interest periods after April 26, 2027, the notional amount of the HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap will decrease as the outstanding principal of the HG Global Senior Notes is paid down. HG Global paid an initial premium of $ 1.3 million for the HG Global 2024 Interest Rate Cap.

Under the interest rate caps, if the three-month SOFR on a quarterly determination date exceeds 3.5 % through July 25, 2025 or 4.5 % between July 25, 2025 and July 25, 2028, HG Global will receive a payment from the counterparty for the difference on the subsequent settlement date. As of June 30, 2025, the three-month SOFR was 4.3%.

HG Global accounts for the interest rate caps as derivatives at fair value within other assets, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains recognized a net unrealized loss of $ 0.6 million and $ 1.7 million related to the change in fair value of both interest rate caps within interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, White Mountains recognized a net unrealized loss of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.1 million related to the change in fair value of the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap within interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains received a payment of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.7 million related to the periodic settlement of the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, White Mountains received a payment of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.4 million related to the periodic settlement of the HG Global 2022 Interest Rate Cap. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total fair value of both interest rate caps was $ 0.8 million and $ 2.5 million. White Mountains classifies the interest rate caps as Level 2 measurements.

Kudu Interest Rate Cap

On September 17, 2024, Kudu entered into the Kudu Interest Rate Cap, effective on September 30, 2024, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the Kudu Credit Facility. The notional amount of the Kudu Interest Rate Cap is $ 150.0 million, and the termination date is September 30, 2027. Kudu paid an initial premium of $ 0.9 million for the Kudu Interest Rate Cap.

Under the Kudu Interest Rate Cap, if the three-month SOFR on a quarterly determination date exceeds 4.5 %, Kudu will receive a payment from the counterparty for the difference on the subsequent settlement date. As of June 30, 2025, the three-month SOFR was 4.3%.

Kudu accounts for the Kudu Interest Rate Cap as a derivative at fair value within other assets, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains recognized a loss of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.7 million related to the change in fair value on the Kudu Interest Rate Cap within interest expense. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Kudu Interest Rate Cap was $ 0.2 million and $ 0.9 million. White Mountains classifies the Kudu Interest Rate Cap as a Level 2 measurement.

Bamboo Interest Rate Cap

On March 12, 2025, Bamboo entered into the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap, effective on March 31, 2025, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the Bamboo Credit Facility. The notional amount of the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap is $ 80.0 million, and the termination date is March 31, 2028. Bamboo paid an initial premium of $ 0.3 million for the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap.

Under the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap, if the three-month SOFR on a quarterly determination date exceeds 5.0 %, Bamboo will receive a payment from the counterparty for the difference on the subsequent settlement date. As of June 30, 2025, the three-month SOFR was 4.3%.

Bamboo accounts for the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap as a derivative at fair value within other assets, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains recognized a loss of $ 0.2 million related to the change in fair value on the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap within interest expense. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap was $ 0.1 million. White Mountains classifies the Bamboo Interest Rate Cap as a Level 2 measurement.

Note 10. Municipal Bond Guarantee Reinsurance

HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM, a mutual municipal bond insurer. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, provided the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $ 503.0 million of the BAM Surplus Notes.

Reinsurance Treaties

FLRT

HG Re is a party to the FLRT with BAM, under which HG Re provides first-loss reinsurance protection of up to 15 %-of-par outstanding for each policy assumed from BAM. For capital appreciation bonds, par is adjusted to the estimated equivalent par value for current interest paying bonds. HG Re is required to provide reinsurance on policies that fall within the FLRT underwriting guidelines agreed upon by HG Re.

BAM charges an insurance premium on each municipal bond insurance policy it underwrites. Historically, approximately 55 % of the total insurance premium charged by BAM has been a member surplus contribution (“MSC”), and the remainder is a risk premium. In return for the reinsurance provided, HG Re receives approximately 60 % of the risk premium charged, which is net of a ceding commission.

The FLRT is a perpetual agreement with terms that can be renegotiated every five years . For the next renegotiation period, either party may provide notice during 2028 to trigger a renegotiation that would take effect on January 1, 2030.

Prior to the deconsolidation of BAM on July 1, 2024, HG Re’s reinsurance balances under the FLRT eliminated in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains recognized gross written premiums of $ 19.2 million and $ 25.9 million and earned premiums of $ 7.1 million and $ 15.3 million.

XOLT

HG Re is party to an excess of loss reinsurance agreement (the “XOLT”) with BAM, under which HG Re provides last-dollar protection for exposures on municipal bonds insured by BAM in excess of the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) single issuer limits. As of June 30, 2025, the XOLT is subject to an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of $ 125.0 million or the assets held in the supplemental collateral trust (the “Supplemental Trust”) at any point in time. The XOLT is accounted for using deposit accounting, as the agreement does not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance. Accordingly, any financing revenues related to the XOLT are recorded in other revenues.

Prior to the deconsolidation of BAM on July 1, 2024, HG Re’s reinsurance balances under the XOLT eliminated in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other revenues recognized by White Mountains related to the XOLT were insignificant.

Collateral Trusts

HG Re’s obligations under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in two collateral trusts, the Supplemental Trust and the Regulation 114 Trust (together, the “Collateral Trusts”), at any point in time.

On a monthly basis, BAM deposits cash equal to ceded premiums net of ceding commissions, due to HG Re under the FLRT directly into the Regulation 114 Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust target balance is equal to HG Re’s unearned premiums and unpaid loss and LAE reserves, if any. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is below the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Supplemental Trust and deposited into the Regulation 114 Trust in an amount equal to the shortfall. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is above 102 % of the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust and deposited into the Supplemental Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust balance as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 376.3 million and $ 352.1 million, which consisted of cash, investments and accrued investment income.

The Supplemental Trust target balance is $ 603.0 million, less the amount of cash and securities in the Regulation 114 Trust in excess of its target balance (the “Supplemental Trust Target Balance”). If, at the end of any quarter, the Supplemental Trust balance exceeds the Supplemental Trust Target Balance, such excess may be distributed to HG Re. The distribution will be made first as an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and second in cash and/or fixed income securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, HG Re received a distribution from the Supplemental Trust of $ 22.2 million, which consisted of an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes of $ 15.2 million and a cash distribution of $ 7.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, HG Re received a distribution from the Supplemental Trust of $ 6.0 million and $ 32.3 million, both of which consisted of an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes.

As the BAM Surplus Notes are repaid over time, the BAM Surplus Notes will be replaced in the Supplemental Trust by cash and fixed income securities. The Supplemental Trust balance as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 607.8 million and $ 598.0 million, which included $ 299.4 million and $ 289.4 million of cash, investments and accrued investment income, $ 300.9 million and $ 300.9 million of BAM Surplus Notes at nominal value and $ 7.5 million and $ 7.7 million of accrued interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes at nominal value.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Collateral Trusts held total assets of $ 984.1 million and $ 950.1 million.

BAM Surplus Notes

Through June 30, 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes was a variable rate equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points, set annually, with each payment applied pro rata between outstanding principal and interest. Accordingly, in 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes was 8.2 % through June 30, 2024. Effective July 1, 2024 and through maturity, HG Global and BAM amended the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes to be 10.0 %, with a higher proportion of each payment to be applied to outstanding principal.

Under its agreements with HG Global, BAM is required to seek regulatory approval to pay principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes only to the extent that its remaining qualified statutory capital and other capital resources continue to support its outstanding obligations, its business plan and its “AA/stable” rating from Standard & Poor’s. No payment of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes may be made without the approval of the NYDFS. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, HG Global did not receive any payments of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes. However, on August 6, 2025, HG Global received cash payments of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes totaling $ 8.0 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, HG Global received cash payments of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes totaling $ 8.0 million. Of this payment, $ 5.1 million was a repayment of principal held in the Supplemental Trust, $ 0.3 million was a payment of accrued interest held in the Supplemental Trust and $ 2.6 million was a payment of accrued interest held outside the Supplemental Trust.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal balance on the BAM Surplus Notes was $ 300.9 million for both periods, and total interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes was $ 209.8 million and $ 194.8 million, all at nominal value. For three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains accrued $ 7.5 million and $ 15.0 million of interest income on the BAM Surplus Notes.

Prior to the deconsolidation of BAM on July 1, 2024, the BAM Surplus Notes, including accrued interest receivable, were classified as intercompany notes carried at nominal value, which eliminated in consolidation. Upon deconsolidation, White Mountains elected the fair value option for the BAM Surplus Notes. The BAM Surplus Notes are classified as a Level 3 measurement. White Mountains values the BAM Surplus Notes each quarter using a discounted cash flow analysis.

The discounted cash flow analysis used to value the BAM Surplus Notes depends on key inputs, such as projections of future revenues and earnings for BAM, expected payments on the BAM Surplus Notes through maturity and a discount rate to reflect time value and related uncertainty of the repayment pattern. The expected payments on the BAM Surplus Notes are based on management judgment, considering current performance, budgets and projected future results. These expected payments depend on BAM’s ability to generate excess cash flows from its operations, driven primarily by assumptions regarding future trends for the issuance of municipal bonds, interest rates, credit spreads, insured market penetration, competitive activity in the market for municipal bond insurance and other factors affecting the demand for and pricing of BAM’s municipal bond insurance, as well as BAM’s investment returns. The discount rate considers comparably-rated companies and instruments, adjusted for risks specific to BAM and the BAM Surplus Notes. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains concluded that a discount rate, which is a significant unobservable input used in estimating the fair value of the BAM Surplus Notes, of 8.00 % and 8.10 % was appropriate. The change in the discount rate was driven by a decline in market interest rates.

When making its fair value selection, White Mountains considers all available information, facts and circumstances specific to BAM’s business and industry and any infrequent or unusual results for the period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, White Mountains recognized the BAM Surplus Notes at a fair value of $ 396.7 million and $ 381.7 million. The recorded fair values represent management's best estimate and are within the range of reasonable values derived from the discounted cash flow analysis.

The following table presents the changes in the nominal value and fair value of the BAM Surplus Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common shares and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in dividends and earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares.

The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 12. Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

White Mountains’s share-based incentive compensation plans are designed to incentivize key employees to maximize shareholder value over long periods of time. White Mountains believes that this is best pursued by utilizing a pay-for-performance program that closely aligns the financial interests of management with those of its shareholders while rewarding appropriate risk taking. White Mountains accomplishes this by emphasizing variable long-term compensation that is contingent on performance over a number of years rather than fixed entitlements. White Mountains expenses all its share-based compensation. As a result, White Mountains’s calculation of its owners’ returns includes the expense of all outstanding share-based compensation awards.

The WTM Incentive Plan provides for grants of various types of share-based and non-share-based incentive awards to key employees and directors of White Mountains. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, White Mountains’s share-based incentive compensation awards consist of performance shares and restricted shares.

Performance Shares

Performance shares are designed to reward employees for meeting company-wide performance targets. Performance shares are conditional grants of a specified maximum number of common shares or an equivalent amount of cash. Awards generally vest at the end of a three-year service period, are subject to the attainment of pre-specified performance goals, and are valued based on the market value of common shares at the time awards are paid. Performance shares earned under the WTM Incentive Plan are typically paid in cash but may be paid in common shares. Compensation expense is recognized for the vested portion of the awards over the related service periods. The level of payout ranges from zero to two times the number of shares initially granted, depending on White Mountains’s financial performance. Performance shares become payable at the conclusion of a performance cycle (typically three years ) if pre-defined financial targets are met.

The performance measure used for determining performance share payouts is the growth in compensation value per share (“CVPS”). Prior to 2025, CVPS was calculated as the average of the growth in adjusted book value per share and the growth in intrinsic value per share. Intrinsic value per share is calculated by adjusting White Mountains’s book value per share for differences between the book value of certain assets and liabilities and White Mountains’s estimate of their underlying intrinsic value. Following the deconsolidation of BAM, White Mountains has replaced growth in adjusted book value per share with growth in book value per share in the calculation of CVPS for calendar years beginning with 2025. For example, for the 2023-2025 performance cycle, adjusted book value per share growth would be used in the calculation of CVPS for calendar years 2023 and 2024, and book value per share growth would be used for calendar year 2025.

The following table presents performance share activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for performance shares granted under the WTM Incentive Plan:

(1) WTM performance share payments for the 2022-2024 performance cycle were made in March 2025 at 200 % of target. WTM performance share payments for the 2021-2023 performance cycle were made in March 2024 at 188 % of target.

(2) Amounts include changes in assumed forfeitures, as required under GAAP.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains granted 10,645 performance shares for the 2025-2027 performance cycle. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, White Mountains granted 1,000 and 11,405 performance shares for the 2024-2026 performance cycle.

For the 2022-2024 performance cycle, the Company issued common shares for 30 performance shares earned, and all other performance shares earned were settled in cash. For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the Company issued common shares for 100 performance shares earned, and all other performance shares earned were settled in cash. If all outstanding performance shares had vested on June 30, 2025, the total additional compensation cost to be recognized would have been $ 31.4 million, based on accrual factors as of June 30, 2025 (common share price and payout assumptions).

The following table presents performance shares outstanding and accrued expense for performance shares awarded under the WTM Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2025 for each performance cycle:

(1) HG Global preferred dividends payable to White Mountains’s subsidiaries is eliminated in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. For segment reporting, the HG Global preferred dividends payable to White Mountains’s subsidiaries included within the HG Global segment are eliminated against the offsetting receivable included within Other Operations and therefore added back to White Mountains’s common shareholders’ equity within the HG Global segment. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the HG Global preferred dividends payable to White Mountains’s subsidiaries were $ 494.2 and $ 462.1 .

Note 15. Variable Interest Entities

Under GAAP, White Mountains is required to consolidate any entity in which it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is usually in the form of an investment representing the majority of the subsidiary’s voting interests. However, a controlling financial interest may also arise from a financial interest in a VIE through arrangements that do not involve ownership of voting interests. A VIE is a legal entity that (i) does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional financial support; (ii) is structured such that equity investors, as a group, lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (iii) is structured such that the equity investors lack the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive returns from, the entity; or (iv) is structured with non-substantive voting rights. White Mountains determines whether an entity is a VIE at the inception of its variable interest in the entity and upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.

White Mountains consolidates a VIE if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity that holds a variable interest that gives it both the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive returns from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The identification of the primary beneficiary of a VIE may require significant assumptions and judgment. When White Mountains determines it has a variable interest in a VIE, it determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (i) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (ii) the VIE’s capital structure; (iii) the identification of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (iv) the governance provisions and other contractual arrangements between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and (v) related party relationships. At inception of its variable interest in the VIE as well as on an ongoing basis, White Mountains performs qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether White Mountains is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

WM Outrigger Re

White Mountains has determined that Outrigger Re Ltd. and its segregated accounts, including WM Outrigger Re, are VIEs. White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary of Outrigger Re Ltd. or its third-party segregated accounts. White Mountains is the primary beneficiary of WM Outrigger Re, as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact WM Outrigger Re’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive returns, that could potentially be significant to WM Outrigger Re. As a result, White Mountains consolidates WM Outrigger Re’s results in its financial statements. The assets of WM Outrigger Re can only be used to settle the liabilities of WM Outrigger Re, and there is no recourse to the Company for any creditors of WM Outrigger Re. WM Outrigger Re’s obligations under its reinsurance agreement with GAIL are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in its collateral trust at any point in time. As of June 30, 2025, investments of $ 220.2 million were held in its collateral trust account.

BAM

BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $ 503.0 million of BAM Surplus Notes and, through its reinsurance subsidiary HG Re, provides first-loss reinsurance protection of up to 15 %-of-par outstanding for each policy assumed from BAM. As a mutual insurance company, BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities whose debt issuances are insured by BAM. White Mountains has determined that BAM is a VIE.

BAM’s underwriting process was determined to be the activity that most significantly impacts BAM’s economic performance. BAM’s underwriting guidelines define the types of credits that BAM may insure. Pursuant to the original FLRT, BAM’s underwriting guidelines could only be amended with the consent of HG Re. As a result, White Mountains concluded at inception and through June 30, 2024 that it had the power to direct BAM’s activities that most significantly impacted BAM’s economic performance and it was the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, White Mountains was required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements. Since BAM is owned by its members, its equity and results of operations were included in noncontrolling interests.

On July 1, 2024, HG Re and BAM amended the terms of the FLRT with respect to certain governance rights held by HG Re. Under the amended FLRT, HG Re no longer has approval rights over changes to BAM’s underwriting guidelines; however, HG Re is only required to provide reinsurance on policies that fall within the FLRT underwriting guidelines agreed upon by HG Re. In conjunction with the amendments to the FLRT, HG Global and BAM increased the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes to 10.0 %, with a higher proportion of each payment to be applied to outstanding principal prospectively. As a result, and in combination with other governance changes at BAM, White Mountains concluded that it no longer has the power to direct BAM’s activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and is no longer BAM’s primary beneficiary. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM.

BAM’s assets can only be used to settle BAM’s obligations, and general creditors of BAM have no recourse to the Company or HG Global. HG Re’s obligations to BAM under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in the Collateral Trusts at any point in time. As of June 30, 2025, the Collateral Trusts held assets of $ 984.1 million.

PassportCard/DavidShield

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s ownership interest in PassportCard/DavidShield was 53.8 % ( 51.5 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis). White Mountains has determined that PassportCard/DavidShield is a VIE but that White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate PassportCard/DavidShield. The governance structure for PassportCard/DavidShield was designed to give White Mountains and its co-investor equal power to make the decisions that most significantly impact its operations. White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of PassportCard/DavidShield and does not hold a controlling financial interest. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the ability to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of PassportCard/DavidShield. Accordingly, White Mountains’s investment in PassportCard/DavidShield meets the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in PassportCard/DavidShield. Changes in the fair value of PassportCard/DavidShield are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its equity investment in PassportCard/DavidShield and the non-interest-bearing loan to its co-investor is the total carrying value of $ 164.1 million.

Elementum

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s ownership interest in Elementum was 26.6 % ( 25.4 % on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis). White Mountains has determined that Elementum is a VIE but that White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate Elementum. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the ability to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of Elementum. Accordingly, Elementum meets the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in Elementum. Changes in the fair value of Elementum are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its limited partnership interest in Elementum is the carrying value of $ 35.0 million.

Bamboo CRV

White Mountains has determined that the Bamboo CRV is a VIE. White Mountains is the primary beneficiary of the Bamboo CRV, as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Bamboo CRV’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive returns, that could potentially be significant to the Bamboo CRV. As a result, White Mountains consolidates the Bamboo CRV’s results in its financial statements. The assets of the Bamboo CRV can only be used to settle the liabilities of the Bamboo CRV, and there is no recourse to the Company for any creditors of the Bamboo CRV. As of June 30, 2025, the Bamboo CRV’s obligations under its reinsurance agreements are subject to an aggregate limit of approximately $ 6.0 million.

Limited Partnerships

White Mountains’s investments in limited partnerships are generally considered VIEs because the limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of these limited partnerships, and therefore White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the limited partnerships. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investments in limited partnerships, which are generally measured at NAV as a practical expedient. As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its investments in limited partnerships is the carrying value of $ 247.0 million.

Note 16. Equity Method Eligible Investments

White Mountains’s equity method eligible investments include Kudu’s Participation Contracts, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha, PassportCard/DavidShield, Elementum, and certain other unconsolidated entities, private equity funds and hedge funds in which White Mountains has the ability to exert significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies. Under GAAP, equity method eligible investments are considered related parties.

The following table presents the ownership interests and carrying values of White Mountains’s equity method eligible investments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
$ in Millions	Ownership Interest	Carrying Value		Ownership Interest	Carrying Value
Kudu’s Participation Contracts (1)	4.1 % - 30.0 %	$	1,121.1	4.1 % - 30.0 %	$	1,008.4

Other equity method eligible investments, at fair value	Under 50.0%	$	257.0	Under 50.0%	$	243.7

(1) Ownership interest generally references basic ownership interest with the exception of Kudu’s Participation Contracts, which are noncontrolling equity interests in the form of revenue and earnings participation contracts.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains received dividend and income distributions from equity method eligible investme nts of $ 20.3 million and $ 36.9 million, which were recorded within net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

White Mountains records its financial instruments at fair value with the exception of debt obligations, which are recorded as debt at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount. See Note 7 — “Debt.”

The following table presents the fair value and carrying value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

For the fair value measurements associated with White Mountains’s investment securities see Note 3 — “Investment Securities.” For the fair value measurements associated with White Mountains’s derivative instruments see Note 9 — “Derivatives.” For the fair value measurements associated with the BAM Surplus Notes see Note 10 — “Municipal Bond Guarantee Reinsurance.”

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

White Mountains, and the insurance industry in general, is routinely subject to claims related litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business, as well as litigation and arbitration that do not arise from, nor are directly related to, claims activity. White Mountains’s estimates of the costs of settling matters routinely encountered in claims activity are reflected in the reserves for unpaid loss and LAE. See Note 5 — “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.”

White Mountains considers the requirements of ASC 450 when evaluating its exposure to non-claims related litigation and arbitration. ASC 450 requires that accruals be established for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and it can be reasonably estimated. ASC 450 also requires that litigation and arbitration be disclosed if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. White Mountains does not have any current non-claims related litigation that may have a material adverse effect on White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 19. Subsequent events

Distinguished Programs

On July 4, 2025, White Mountains entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Distinguished Purchase Agreement”) with AQ Phoenix Parent, L.P. (“Distinguished Programs”) and certain other parties thereto. Under the Distinguished Purchase Agreement, White Mountains will acquire, inclusive of its existing 1.4 % basic ownership interest, a 51.0 % controlling interest in Distinguished Programs on a basic units outstanding basis for approximately $ 230.0 million in cash at closing (the “Distinguished Transactions”). Distinguished Programs is a full-service MGA and program administrator for specialty property & casualty insurance. On behalf of its insurance carrier partners, Distinguished Programs typically manages all aspects of the placement process, including product development, marketing, underwriting, policy issuance and claims. Distinguished Programs earns commissions based on the volume and profitability of the insurance that it places. Distinguished Programs does not assume or retain and insurance risk.

The Distinguished Transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. Completion of the Distinguished Transactions is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. There is no condition with respect to the availability of financing to consummate the Distinguished Transactions.

On the third anniversary of the closing of the Distinguished Transactions, certain sellers will have the right to sell additional units (representing 28.9 % of the total units at closing on a basic units outstanding basis) to White Mountains at the same unit price paid in the Distinguished Transactions, the total price for which, if exercised in full, is expected to be approximately $ 130.0 million. White Mountains will have a parallel right to purchase such units at 1.35 times the unit price paid in the Distinguished Transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements.” White Mountains intends statements that are not historical in nature, which are hereby identified as forward-looking statements, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. White Mountains cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. White Mountains’s actual results could be materially different from and worse than its expectations. See “ FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ” on page 86 for specific important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements.

The following discussion also includes eight non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Ark’s tangible book value, (ii) Kudu’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), (iii) Kudu’s adjusted EBITDA, (iv) Bamboo’s MGA pre-tax income (loss), (v) Bamboo’s MGA net income (loss), (vi) Bamboo’s MGA EBITDA, (vii) Bamboo’s MGA adjusted EBITDA and (viii) total consolidated portfolio returns excluding MediaAlpha that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures on page 84 . White Mountains believes these measures to be useful in evaluating White Mountains’s financial performance and condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 and 2024

Overview

White Mountains reported book value per share of $1,804 as of June 30, 2025, an increase of 3% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2025, including dividends. Results in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 were driven primarily by sound results from White Mountains’s operating businesses and good investment returns.

White Mountains reported book value per share of $1,722 as of June 30, 2024. Book value per share decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2024 and increased 4% in the first six months of 2024, including dividends. The decrease in book value per share in the second quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by mark-to-market losses from the decline in MediaAlpha’s share price, partially offset by solid operating results and investment returns. The increase in book value per share in the first six months of 2024 was driven primarily by solid operating results and investment returns as well as mark-to-market gains from the increase in MediaAlpha’s share price.

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $124 million and $159 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to $(55) million and $182 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2024. Results in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 included $31 million and $(6) million of unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha compared to $(139) million and $72 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) in the second quarter and first six months of 2024.

On April 1, 2025, White Mountains acquired a majority interest in Enterprise Electric, LLC d/b/a Enterprise Solutions, a provider of specialty electrical contracting services. This was the first acquisition by WTM Partners.

On July 4, 2025, White Mountains entered into the Distinguished Purchase Agreement to acquire a majority interest in Distinguished Programs, a full-service MGA and program administrator for specialty property & casualty insurance. The Distinguished Transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

On July 18, 2025, White Mountains closed its transaction to invest $150 million into BroadStreet Partners, Inc. (“BroadStreet”) through a special purpose investment vehicle alongside co-lead investors Ethos Capital LP and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation. BroadStreet is an insurance brokerage company with a presence in all 50 U.S. states and ten Canadian provinces.

Including these deployments, undeployed capital now stands at roughly $300 million.

The Ark/WM Outrigger segment’s combined ratio was 84% and 90% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to 87% and 89% in the second quarter and first six months of 2024. The Ark/WM Outrigger segment reported gross written premiums of $815 million and $1,923 million, net written premiums of $579 million and $1,306 million and net earned premiums of $364 million and $722 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to gross written premiums of $697 million and $1,569 million, net written premiums of $503 million and $1,101 million and net earned premiums of $318 million and $621 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2024. The Ark/WM Outrigger segment reported pre-tax income of $98 million and $144 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 compared to $59 million and $101 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2024.

Ark’s combined ratio was 85% and 90% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 and compared to 89% and 91% second quarter and first six months of 2024. Ark’s combined ratio in the first six months of 2025 included 13 points of catastrophe losses, driven by losses related to the January 2025 California wildfires.

HG Global reported pre-tax income of $17 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $11 million in the second quarter of 2024 . HG Global’s results in the second quarter of 2025 included net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on its fixed income portfolio of $3 million compared to $(2) million in the second quarter of 2024 , driven by the movement of interest rates in each period. HG Global’s res ults in the second quarter of 2025 included interest income on the BAM Surplus Notes of $8 million compared to $7 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The fair value of the BAM Surplus Notes increased to $397 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $389 million as of March 31, 2025, resulting from approximately $8 million of accrued interest. During the second quarter of 2025, HG Global did not receive any payments of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes.

Kudu Results—Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Kudu reported total revenues of $20 million, pre-tax income of $11 million and adjusted EBITDA of $16 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to total revenues of $70 million, pre-tax income of $61 million and adjusted EBITDA of $12 million in the second quarter of 2024. Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA included $19 million of net investment income in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $16 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net investment income was primarily due to higher dividends from existing participation contracts, reflecting growth in AUM and amounts earned from $171 million of deployments in new investments made subsequent to June 30, 2024. Total revenues and pre-tax income also included $1 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $55 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net realized and unrealized investment gains in the second quarter of 2025 were driven by a modest increase in the fair value of Kudu’s Participation Contracts, primarily due to growth in AUM at several managers, foreign currency gains resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar and a step-up in valuation related to a sale transaction, largely offset by higher discount rates across the portfolio. Net realized and unrealized investment gains in the second quarter of 2024 were driven by an increase in the fair value of Kudu’s Participation Contracts, primarily due to lower discount rates across the portfolio and growth in AUM at several managers.

Kudu Results—Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Kudu reported total revenues of $84 million, pre-tax income of $64 million and adjusted EBITDA of $32 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to total revenues of $81 million, pre-tax income of $63 million and adjusted EBITDA of $26 million in the first six months of 2024. Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA included $39 million of net investment income in the first six months of 2025 compared to $33 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase in net investment income was driven primarily by amounts earned from new deployments that Kudu made subsequent to June 30, 2024. Total revenues and pre-tax income also included $45 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains in the first six months of 2025 compared to $48 million in the first six months of 2024. Net realized and unrealized investment gains in the first six months of 2025 were driven by an increase in the fair value of Kudu’s Participation Contracts, primarily due to growth in AUM at several managers and foreign currency gains resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Net realized and unrealized investment gains for the first six months of 2024 were driven by an increase in the fair value of Kudu’s Participation Contracts, primarily due to lower discount rates across the portfolio and growth in AUM at several managers, partially offset by a decline in the share price from a publicly listed security received by Kudu in a prior sales transaction and foreign currency losses resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Managed Premiums

Managed premiums represent the total premiums placed by Bamboo during the period. Managed premiums were $191 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $120 million in the second quarter of 2024. Managed premiums were $338 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $209 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase in managed premium was driven by growth in the renewal book as well as new business volume. Renewal book growth was driven by strong client policy retention rates as well as approved rate increases that went into effect in the first quarter of 2025. In the second quarter and first six months of 2025, new business volume decreased year-over-year due to risk aggregation limits instituted by Bamboo on its largest program. However, in the second quarter of 2025, new business volume increased quarter-over-quarter as Bamboo began to launch additional fronted programs that will enable continued new business growth over the rest of the year.

The following table presents Bamboo’s managed premiums for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Capacity Providers

During April 2025, Bamboo renewed its largest program for the treaty year ending April 1, 2026 on favorable terms, with strong demand from new and renewing reinsurance partners. Under the renewed terms, Bamboo MGA’s commission levels continue to be based on a sliding scale tied primarily to its attritional loss ratio. Bamboo also expanded its number of reinsurance partners. As of June 30, 2025, the insurance risk for Bamboo’s programs was supported by roughly 25 third-party Capacity Providers.

White Mountains’s Other Operations reported net investment income of $9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $8 million in the second quarter of 2024. See Summary of Investment Results on page 76 .

White Mountains’s Other Operations reported other revenues of $57 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 2024. White Mountains’s Other Operations reported cost of sales of $42 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increases in other revenues and cost of sales were driven primarily by the acquisition of Enterprise Solutions by WTM Partners in the second quarter of 2025.

White Mountains’s Other Operations reported general and administrative expenses of $54 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $43 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Excluding MediaAlpha, White Mountains’s Other Operations reported net realized and unrealized investment gains of $35 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $31 million in the first six months of 2024. Results in both periods were driven primarily by net realized and unrealized investment gains from other long-term investments and common equity securities.

White Mountains’s Other Operations reported other revenues of $70 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $29 million in the first six months of 2024. White Mountains’s Other Operations reported cost of sales of $50 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $15 million in the first six months of 2024. The increases in other revenues and cost of sales were driven primarily by the acquisition of Enterprise Solutions by WTM Partners.

White Mountains’s Other Operations reported general and administrative expenses of $89 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $94 million in the first six months of 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was driven primarily by lower long-term incentive compensation costs, partially offset by parent company transaction costs as well as the acquisition of Enterprise Solutions. Other Operations general and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2025 included $37 million for parent company compensation and benefits compared to $51 million in the first six months of 2024. The decrease in parent company compensation and benefits was driven primarily by lower long-term incentive compensation costs due to fluctuations in the White Mountains share price.

The Bamboo CRV reported $7 million of pre-tax loss in the first six months of 2025 compared to $2 million of pre-tax income in the first six months of 2024. The Bamboo CRV’s results included earned premiums of $16 million, loss and LAE of $18 million and acquisition expenses of $6 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to earned premiums of $9 million, loss and LAE of $4 million and acquisition expenses of $3 million in the first six months of 2024. Loss and LAE in the first six months of 2025 included approximately $12 million related to the January 2025 California wildfires.

White Mountains’s fixed income portfolio includes fixed maturity and short-term investments held on deposit or as collateral. See Note 3 — “Investment Securities.”

White Mountains’s fixed income portfolio returned 1.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 1.0% in the second quarter of 2024, in line with and outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index returns of 1.5% and 0.5% for the comparable periods. Results in the second quarter of 2025 were driven primarily by net investment income and net unrealized investment gains due to the decline in interest rates on White Mountains’s short duration fixed income portfolio. Results in the second quarter of 2024 were driven primarily by net investment income.

White Mountains’s fixed income portfolio returned 3.3% in the first six months of 2025 compared to 1.7% in the first six months of 2024, underperforming and outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index returns of 4.2% and 0.0% for the comparable periods.

White Mountains’s portfolio of common equity securities totaled $435 million and $650 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The decrease in common equity securities in the first six months of 2025 was due to the sale of White Mountains’s ETF portfolio in preparation for near-term capital deployments.

White Mountains’s portfolio of common equity securities returned 4.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.3% in the second quarter of 2024, underperforming the S&P 500 Index returns of 10.9% and 4.3% for the comparable periods.

The underperformance and outperformance in all periods was driven primarily by certain international listed equity funds that employ a market neutral strategy.

White Mountains maintains a portfolio of other long-term investments that consists primarily of unconsolidated entities, including Kudu’s Participation Contracts, private equity funds and hedge funds, a bank loan fund, Lloyd’s trust deposits, ILS funds and private debt instruments.

III. Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2025, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches operated and were subject to tax are Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States.

On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that became effective on January 1, 2025. The Bermuda legislation defers the effective date for five years, for Bermuda companies in consolidated groups that meet certain requirements. To qualify for the deferral, generally the group must (i) have consolidated affiliates and permanent establishments in six or fewer countries, (ii) have no more than €50 million of net tangible assets outside of the country where the group has the largest amount of net tangible assets and (iii) not have a consolidated Bermuda affiliate or Bermuda permanent establishment directly or indirectly owned by a parent entity that is subject to the Income Inclusion Rule of Pillar Two in any jurisdiction. White Mountains expects to meet the requirements to be exempt from the Bermuda corporate income tax until January 1, 2030. The Bermuda legislation also provides for an economic transition adjustment that will reduce future years’ taxable income. Under GAAP, this economic transition adjustment was required to be recognized as a net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, White Mountains recorded a net deferred tax asset of $68 million, with $51 million attributable to Ark and $17 million attributable to HG Global. Effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. As a result of the deconsolidation, the BAM Surplus Notes were recorded at fair value, which resulted in the reversal of a $5 million deferred tax liability related to the economic transition adjustment in 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the net deferred tax asset related to the economic transition adjustment was $73 million, with $51 million attributable to Ark and $22 million attributable to HG Global.

On December 15, 2022, European Union Member States voted to adopt the EU Minimum Tax Directive in conformity with the OECD Pillar Two initiative. The Pillar Two initiative includes a set of model rules that are generally designed to impose a top-up tax on a large multinational enterprise group to the extent the group is not subject to an effective tax rate of at least 15% in each jurisdiction in which the group has a consolidated affiliate or permanent establishment. The EU Minimum Tax Directive required European Union Member States to enact conforming law by December 31, 2023. The main rule of the EU Minimum Tax Directive, the Income Inclusion Rule (“IIR”), was to become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023, while the Undertaxed Profits Rule (“UTPR”) was to become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2024. The EU Minimum Tax Directive also permits European Union Member States to elect to apply a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (“QDMTT”) for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023.

On December 20, 2023, Luxembourg enacted conforming Pillar Two legislation including the IIR, UTPR and the QDMTT. Additional legislation addressing the applicability of the QDMTT was enacted on December 23, 2024. The Luxembourg Pillar Two rules defer the effective date of the QDMTT and UTPR until fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2028 and 2029, respectively, for Luxembourg companies in consolidated groups with a non-EU parent company that meet certain requirements. To qualify for the deferral, generally the group must (i) have consolidated affiliates and permanent establishments in six or fewer countries and (ii) have no more than €50 million of net tangible assets outside of the country where the group has the largest amount of net tangible assets. White Mountains expects to meet the requirements to be exempt from the Luxembourg QDMTT and UTPR until January 1, 2029 and 2030, respectively.

On July 11, 2023, the U.K. enacted conforming legislation adopting the Pillar Two IIR and QDMTT which became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. On March 20, 2025, the U.K. enacted legislation adopting the Pillar Two UTPR effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2024. Under the legislation, the effective date of the UTPR is deferred until fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2029 for U.K. companies in consolidated groups with a non-EU parent company that meet certain requirements. To qualify for the deferral, generally the group must (i) have consolidated affiliates and permanent establishments in six or fewer countries and (ii) have no more than €50 million of net tangible assets outside of the country where the group has the largest amount of net tangible assets. White Mountains expects to meet the requirements to be exempt from the U.K. UTPR until January 1, 2030.

On January 15, 2025, the OECD released administrative guidance on its Pillar Two model rules (the “January 2025 OECD Administrative Guidance”). The January 2025 OECD Administrative Guidance provides that, subject to limited exceptions, deferred tax expense attributable to deferred tax assets resulting from the introduction of a new corporate income tax after November 30, 2021 is to be excluded when assessing whether a multinational enterprise group has an effective tax rate of at least 15% in the jurisdiction that adopted the corporate income tax. Deferred tax assets associated with the economic transition adjustment recognized under the Bermuda corporate income tax are expected to be within the scope of the January 2025 OECD Administrative Guidance. As of June 30, 2025, neither the U.K. nor Luxembourg had enacted changes in response to the January 2025 OECD Administrative Guidance, and no changes had been enacted with respect to the Bermuda corporate income tax to repeal or otherwise limit the economic transition adjustment. Accordingly, under GAAP, White Mountains is required to maintain the net deferred tax asset attributable to the economic transition adjustment as of June 30, 2025. Currently, the impact of any potential changes in response to the January 2025 OECD Administrative Guidance is uncertain, but may result in the elimination of the net deferred tax asset related to the economic transition adjustment.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). White Mountains does not expect the OBBBA to have a material effect on its financial statements.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 represented an effective tax rate of 7% and 9%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June

30, 2024 represented an effective tax rate of (19)%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%,

driven primarily by a change in forecasted income between jurisdictions for 2024.

White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented an effective tax rate of 9%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Cash and Short-term Investments

Holding Company Level

The primary sources of cash for the Company and certain of its intermediate holding companies are expected to be distributions from its insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiaries, net investment income, proceeds from sales, repayments and maturities of investments, borrowings from credit facilities, capital raising activities and, from time to time, proceeds from sales of operating subsidiaries. The primary uses of cash are expected to be general and administrative expenses, purchases of investments, payments to tax authorities, payments on and repurchases/retirements of debt obligations, dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common shares, distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries, contributions to operating subsidiaries and, from time to time, purchases of operating subsidiaries and repurchases of the Company’s common shares.

Operating Subsidiary Level

The primary sources of cash for White Mountains’s insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiaries are expected to be premium and fee collections, commissions, net investment income, proceeds from sales, repayments and maturities of investments, contributions from holding companies, borrowings from credit facilities, and capital raising activities. The primary uses of cash are expected to be claim payments, policy acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, broker commission expenses, cost of sales, purchases of investments, payments to tax authorities, payments on and repurchases/retirements of debt obligations, distributions to holding companies, distributions to noncontrolling interest holders and, from time to time, purchases of operating subsidiaries.

Both internal and external forces influence White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Premium and fee collections, investment returns, claim payments and cost of sales may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. Some time may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to White Mountains’s insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries and the settlement of the liability for that loss. The exact timing of the payment of losses cannot be predicted with certainty. White Mountains’s insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries maintain portfolios of invested assets with varying maturities and a substantial amount of cash and short-term investments to provide adequate liquidity for the payment of claims.

Management believes that White Mountains’s cash balances, cash flows from operations and routine sales and maturities of investments are adequate to meet expected cash requirements for the foreseeable future at both a holding company and insurance, reinsurance and other operating subsidiary level.

Dividend Capacity

Ark/WM Outrigger

During any 12-month period, GAIL, a class 4 licensed Bermuda insurer, has the ability to (i) make capital distributions of up to 15% of its total statutory capital per the previous year’s statutory financial statements, or (ii) make dividend payments of up to 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus per the previous year’s statutory financial statements, without prior approval of Bermuda regulatory authorities. Accordingly, GAIL will have the ability to pay a dividend of up to $337 million during 2025, which is equal to 25% of its statutory capital and surplus of $1,347 million as of December 31, 2024, subject to meeting all appropriate liquidity and solvency requirements.

On July 16, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement, which establishes a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $250 million that matures on July 16, 2028 (the “WTM Credit Facility”). The WTM Credit Facility is undrawn, and the Company has no current plans to draw on the WTM Credit Facility.

On July 21, 2025, Kudu amended the Kudu Credit Facility to increase the total commitment from $350 million to $500 million, reduce the maximum loan-to-value ratio from 50% to 40% and revised the interest rate. The interest rate on the outstanding balance as of July 21, 2025 was reduced from a then floating rate of 8.75% to a fixed rate of 7.65%. Future borrowings will bear a fixed rate of interest equal to the interpolated yield on U.S. Treasuries at the time of borrowing plus a stated margin of 3.10%. The amended Kudu Credit Facility has a five-year availability period and matures on June 30, 2038.

Management believes that White Mountains has the flexibility and capacity to obtain funds externally through debt or equity financing on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, White Mountains can provide no assurance that, if needed, it would be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.

It is possible that, in the future, one or more of the rating agencies may lower White Mountains’s existing ratings. If one or more of its ratings were lowered, White Mountains could incur higher borrowing costs on future borrowings, and its ability to access the capital markets could be impacted.

Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains was in compliance in all material respects with all of the covenants under its debt instruments.

Share Repurchase Programs

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase its common shares from time to time, subject to market conditions. Shares may be repurchased on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorizations do not have a stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2025, White Mountains may repurchase an additional 301,014 shares under these Board authorizations. In addition, from time to time, White Mountains has also repurchased its common shares through self-tender offers that were separately approved by its Board of Directors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, White Mountains repurchased and retired 5,097 of its common shares for $10 million at an average share price of $1,945, which was approximately 108% of White Mountains’s book value per share as of June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, White Mountains repurchased and retired 5,269 of its common shares for $8 million at an average share price of $1,505, which was approximately 87% of White Mountains’s book value per share as of June 30, 2024. All of the shares White Mountains repurchased in the first six months of 2025 and 2024 were to satisfy employee income tax withholding pursuant to employee benefit plans, which do not reduce the amount available under the Board repurchase authorizations.

Cash Flows

Detailed information concerning White Mountains’s cash flows from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 follows:

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024

The increase in cash used for operations was driven primarily by a decrease in cash provided from operations at Ark/WM Outrigger Re and a new deployment at Kudu in 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company and its intermediate holding companies had $662 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments, $196 million of MediaAlpha common stock and $310 million of private equity funds, hedge funds, ILS funds and certain unconsolidated entities.

On January 2, 2024, White Mountains closed the Bamboo Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Bamboo Merger Agreement, investing $297 million of equity into Bamboo, which included the contribution of $36 million to retire Bamboo’s legacy credit facility and the contribution of $20 million of primary capital.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report includes eight non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Ark’s tangible book value

Ark’s tangible book value is a non-GAAP financial measure derived by adjusting GAAP book value to exclude goodwill, other intangible assets, the related deferred tax liability and the contingent consideration liability. The contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of the additional shares that could be earned by management rollover shareholders if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain MOIC return thresholds. If earned, these additional shares would result in a reallocation of economics among Ark’s shareholders, which is reflected in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability recorded by White Mountains, but would have no impact on Ark’s stand-alone book value or tangible book value. White Mountains believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to management and investors in evaluating Ark’s enterprise value. See page 64 for the reconciliation of Ark’s GAAP equity to tangible book value.

Kudu’s EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

Kudu's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to GAAP net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate EBITDA. The items relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu's Participation Contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses.

A description of each item follows:

• Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) - Represents net unrealized investment gains and losses on Kudu’s Participation Contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses recorded on Kudu’s Participation Contracts sold during the period.

• Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Kudu’s management compensation that are settled with equity units in Kudu.

• Transaction expenses - Represents costs directly related to Kudu’s mergers and acquisitions activity, such as external lawyer, banker, consulting and placement agent fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu’s performance. The reconciliation of Kudu’s GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is included on page 71 .

Bamboo’s MGA pre-tax income (loss), MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA

Bamboo’s MGA pre-tax income (loss), MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

MGA pre-tax income (loss) and MGA net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of the Bamboo Captive, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss). The following table presents the reconciliation from Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to MGA pre-tax income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions	2025		2024		2025		2024
Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss)	$	16.1	$	6.4	$	22.4	$	7.3
Remove pre-tax (income) loss, Bamboo Captive	(1.1)		(.4)		2.8		—
MGA pre-tax income (loss)	$	15.0	$	6.0	$	25.2	$	7.3

MGA EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to MGA net income (loss). MGA adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate MGA EBITDA. The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (ii) software implementation expenses and (iii) restructuring expenses. A description of each item follows:

• Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Bamboo’s management compensation that are settled with equity units in Bamboo.

• Software implementation expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo’s implementation of new software.

• Restructuring expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo’s corporate restructuring and capital planning activities.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Bamboo’s performance. See page 73 for the reconciliation of Bamboo’s consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA.

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha is a non-GAAP financial measure that removes the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes this measure to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains’s investment portfolio without regard to White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha.

The following table presents return reconciliations from GAAP to the reported percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Total consolidated portfolio return	2.7	%	(0.1)	%	4.5	%	4.5	%
Remove MediaAlpha	(0.4)		2.3		0.2		(1.0)
Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha	2.3	%	2.2	%	4.7	%	3.5	%

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Refer to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion regarding White Mountains’s critical accounting estimates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this report which address activities, events or developments which White Mountains expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “could”, “will”, “believe”, “intend”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “estimate”, “predict” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to White Mountains’s:

• change in book value per share or return on equity;

• business strategy;

• financial and operating targets or plans;

• incurred loss and LAE and the adequacy of its loss and LAE reserves and related reinsurance;

• projections of revenues, income (or loss), earnings (or loss) per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, dividends, market share or other financial forecasts of White Mountains or its businesses;

• expansion and growth of its business and operations; and

• future capital expenditures.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by White Mountains in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to its expectations and predictions is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including:

• the risks that are described from time to time in White Mountains’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to White Mountains’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K;

• claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis, severe weather, public health crises, terrorist attacks, war and war-like actions, explosions, infrastructure failures or cyber attacks;

• recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate;

• the market value of White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha;

• business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to it and pursued;

• actions taken by rating agencies, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch;

• the continued availability of capital and financing;

• the continued availability of fronting and reinsurance capacity;

• deterioration of general economic, market or business conditions, including due to outbreaks of contagious disease and corresponding mitigation efforts;

• competitive forces, including the conduct of other insurers;

• changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its customers; and

• other factors, most of which are beyond White Mountains’s control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by White Mountains will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, White Mountains or its business or operations. White Mountains assumes no obligation to publicly update any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
