This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain financial measures, in particular the presentation of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Book Value, which are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because they provide greater transparency and enhanced visibility into the underlying drivers of our business. We do not intend for these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and they may differ from similar reporting provided by other companies. Readers of this Form 10-K should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Book Value are non-GAAP financial measures that adjust for the impact of certain non-recurring or non-economic GAAP accounting requirements and include the addition of certain items that the Company has or expects to realize in the future, but that are not reported under GAAP. We also provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures; Adjusted Earnings to Net income attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted Book Value to Total Ambac Financial Group, Inc. stockholders’ equity.

For a first catastrophic event striking Florida, our reinsurance program provides coverage up to $1.75 billion of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including our retention, and we are responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For a first catastrophic event striking Hawaii, our reinsurance program provides coverage up to $731 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including our retention, and we are responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, our total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as we may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of $632 million of limit purchased in 2017 includes reinstatement through the purchase of reinsurance reinstated premium. In total, we have purchased $2.6 billion of potential reinsurance coverage, including our retention, for multiple catastrophic events. Our ability to access this coverage, however, will be subject to the severity and frequency of such events. Hurricane losses in states other than Hawaii would be covered under the Heritage P&C program with the exception of the FHCF coverage and the series 2015, 2016 and 2017 catastrophe bonds. Management deemed this reinsurance protection to be sufficient given the level of catastrophe exposure in 2017 for Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. In placing our 2017-2018 reinsurance program, we sought to capitalize on favorable reinsurance pricing and mitigate uncertainty surrounding the future cost of our reinsurance by negotiating multi-year arrangements. The $687.5 million of aggregate coverage we have purchased from Citrus Re Ltd, which includes the 2015 Class A, B, and C notes, the 2016 Class D & E notes, and the 2017 Series notes extends $277.5 million of coverage until May 2018, $250 million of coverage for two-year period and $160 million of coverage for a three-year period. To the extent coverage is all or partially exhausted before the end of three years, it cannot be reinstated. In the aggregate, multi-year coverage from Citrus Re Ltd accounts for approximately 26% of our purchases of private reinsurance for the 2017 hurricane season. The terms of each of the multi-year coverage arrangements described above are subject to adjustment depending on, among other things, the size and composition of our portfolio of insured risks in future periods.

Storebrand’s strategy for the non-life activities of If Skadeförsäkring is one of value-maximisation, and in Storebrand’s view the negative trend seen for non-life insurance business can be turned around by the current program of premium increases and a range of other measures.

The fair value of contingent earnout liabilities and contingently returnable consideration is based upon estimated payments expected to be or paid to, or clawed back from, the sellers of the acquired businesses as measured by expected future cash flow projections under various scenarios. We use a probability weighted value analysis as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows under various scenarios to a single present value amount. We assess the fair value of these liabilities and assets at each balance sheet date based on the expected performance of the associated business and any changes in fair value are recorded through change in fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

In addition to the difficulties described above, estimating the ultimate cost of both reported and unreported APMT claims is subject to a higher degree of variability due to a number of additional factors, including among others: the number and outcome of direct actions against the Company; coverage issues, including whether certain costs are covered under the policies and whether policy limits apply; allocation of liability among numerous parties, some of whom may be in bankruptcy proceedings, and in particular the application of “joint and several” liability to specific insurers on a risk; inconsistent court decisions and developing legal theories; increasingly aggressive tactics of plaintiffs’ lawyers; the risks and lack of predictability inherent in major litigation; increased filings of claims in certain states to avoid the application of tort reform statute effective dates; enactment of national federal legislation to address asbestos claims; a further increase in asbestos and environmental pollution claims which cannot now be anticipated; increase in number of mass tort claims relating to silica and silica-containing products, and the outcome of ongoing disputes as to coverage in relation to these claims; a further increase of claims and claims payment that may exhaust underlying umbrella and excess coverage at accelerated rates; and future developments pertaining to the Company’s ability to recover reinsurance for asbestos and environmental pollution claims.

The property and casualty industry has experienced significant loss from claims related to asbestos, environmental remediation, product liability, mold and other mass torts. Asbestos reserves are $2.0 million, and environmental reserves are $8.6 million, for a total of $10.6 million, or 1.3% of net losses and loss expenses payable. Asbestos reserves decreased $1.4 million and environmental reserves increased $0.9 million from 2008. Because we have insured primarily product retailers and distributors, we do not expect to incur the same level of liability, particularly related to asbestos, as companies that have insured manufacturing risks.

The Company employs a total return approach whereby a mix of equity and fixed maturity securities are used to maximize the long term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk and to manage cash flows according to plan requirements. The target allocation of plan assets is 40% to 60% invested in equity securities and limited partnerships, with the remainder primarily invested in fixed maturity securities. The intent of this strategy is to minimize the Company’s expenses by generating investment returns that exceed the growth of the plan liabilities over the long run. Risk tolerance is established after careful consideration of the plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial conditions. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of fixed maturity, equity and short term securities. Alternative investments, including limited partnerships, are used to enhance risk adjusted long term returns while improving portfolio diversification. At December 31, 2016, the Company had committed $119 million to future capital calls from various third party limited partnership investments in exchange for an ownership interest in the related partnerships. Investment risk is monitored through annual liability measurements, periodic asset/liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.

Loss and LAE increased $36.5 million, or 35%, to $141.8 million in 1997 from $105.3 million in 1996 due to higher premiums earned partially offset by a slightly lower loss ratio. The Company's loss ratio decreased to 67.1% in 1997 from 67.6% in 1996. In connection with the Company's normal reserving review, which includes a reevaluation of the adequacy of reserve levels for prior years' claims, the Company reduced its unpaid loss and LAE reserves in 1997 for prior report years by approximately $10.3 million. In 1996, the Company reduced its unpaid loss and LAE reserves for prior report years by $6.8 million. These reductions produced corresponding increases in the Company's net income of approximately $6.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in 1997 and $4.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in 1996. There is no assurance that reserve adequacy reevaluations will produce similar reserve reductions and net income increases in the future.

The payment of dividends by RCHI will be dependent upon the ability of Risk Capital Reinsurance to provide funds to RCHI. The ability of Risk Capital Reinsurance to pay dividends or make distributions to RCHI is dependent upon its ability to achieve satisfactory underwriting and investment results and to meet certain regulatory standards of the State of Nebraska. There are presently no contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions by Risk Capital Reinsurance to RCHI.

The Companies closely monitor the composition and yield of invested assets, the duration and interest credited on insurance liabilities, and resulting interest spreads and timing of cash flows. These amounts are taken into consideration in the Companies' overall management of interest rate risk, which attempts to minimize exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment cash flows with amounts expected to be due under insurance contracts. These assumptions may not result in values consistent with those obtained through an actuarial appraisal of the Companies' business or values that might arise in a negotiated transaction.

We participate in a securities lending program in the normal course of business for the purpose of enhancing the total return on our investment portfolio. Periodically we receive non-cash collateral for securities lending from counterparties on deposit from customers, which cannot be sold or re-pledged, and which has not been recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of this collateral was $83 million at estimated fair value at December 31, 2014. We had no such collateral as of December 31, 2013. See Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as “- Investments - Securities Lending” for discussion of our securities lending program, the classification of revenues and expenses, and the nature of the secured financing arrangement and associated liability.

We establish reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("Loss Reserves") which represent estimates involving actuarial and statistical projections, at a given point in time, of our expectations of the ultimate settlement and administration costs of losses incurred. Estimating Loss Reserves is inherently difficult, which is exacerbated by the fact that we are a relatively new company with relatively limited historical experience upon which to base such estimates. We utilize actuarial models as well as available historical insurance industry loss ratio experience and loss development patterns to assist in the establishment of Loss Reserves. Actual losses and loss adjustment expenses paid will deviate, perhaps substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements.

As of December 31, 2011, securities in an unrealized loss position that were rated as below investment grade represented 32.5% of the total fair value and 54.3% of the total unrealized loss. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. After a review of each security and its expected cash flows, we believe the decline in market value to be temporary. As of December 31, 2011, total unrealized losses for all securities in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months were $255.9 million. A widening of credit spreads is estimated to account for unrealized losses of $504.9 million, with changes in treasury rates offsetting this loss by an estimated $249.0 million.

For the insurance and reinsurance undertakings of Aegon in the EU, the European Solvency I directives are applicable, as implemented in the relevant member states. Solvency I allows member states to require solvency standards, exceeding the minimum requirements set by the Solvency I directives. For life insurance companies the Solvency I capital requirement is by and large the sum of 4% of insurance and investment liabilities for general account and 1% of insurance and investment liabilities for account policyholders if no guaranteed investment returns are given. At the end of 2012, Aegon The Netherlands consolidated solvency capital ratio based on IFRS

(iv) The NYSE standards require that the compensation committee of a listed company be composed entirely of independent directors. Although the members of the RemCo are deemed independent in compliance with the provisions of the Code, the Board has not assessed the independence of the members of the RemCo and RemCo has not assessed the independence of any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser, in each case, in accordance with the independence tests prescribed by the NYSE Standards. The NYSE Standards require that the compensation committee must have direct responsibility to review and approve the CEO’s remuneration. As stated at the start of this Compliance Report, in the case of RBSG plc, the Board rather than the RemCo reserves the authority to make the final determination of the remuneration of the CEO. (v) The NYSE Standards require listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Throughout the year ended 31 December 2018, RBSG plc has complied with all of the provisions of the Code (subject to the exception described above) and the Code does not require RBSG plc to disclose the full range of corporate governance guidelines with which it complies. (vi) The NYSE Standards require listed companies to adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. RBSG plc has adopted a code of conduct which is supplemented by a number of key policies and guidance dealing with matters including, among others, antibribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, confidentiality, inside information, health, safety and environment, conflicts of interest, market conduct and management records. This code of conduct applies to all officers and employees and is fully aligned to the PRA and FCA Conduct Rules which apply to all directors. The Code of Conduct is available to view on RBS’s website at rbs.com.

The Company is continually evaluating actuarial assumptions associated with interest sensitive life insurance contracts in which the determination of policy reserves is highly sensitive to assumptions such as withdrawal rates, investment earnings rates, mortality rates, and premium persistency. Currently reflected in the Company's financial statements are policy reserves and account values associated with such contracts, which aggregated approximately $527.1 million and $525.4 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. If developing trends were to continue, principally the less than expected level of the lapses currently associated with such interest sensitive blocks of business, the Company would be required to record additional reserves or reduce intangible assets, which could have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. A decrease of 1% in the assumed lapse rate would increase policy reserves associated with such contracts by $9.0 million. Management is also assessing the potential impact of future management actions, which might mitigate the financial impact of these trends. Types of management actions would likely include, but are not limited to, the redetermination of non-guaranteed charges and/or benefits under the contracts, asset segmentation, and reinsurance. There are risks associated with management action including potential sales disruption and the threat of litigation.

Federal Income Tax: Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes have been measured using enacted statutory income tax rates and laws that are currently in effect. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are one reporting level below the operating segment. Upon disposition of a business entity, goodwill is allocated to the disposed entity based on the fair value of that entity compared to the fair value of the reporting unit in which it is included. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level and is a two-step analysis. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value, the Company performs a hypothetical purchase price allocation based on the reporting unit's fair value to determine the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. Fair value is determined using a combination of present value techniques and market prices of comparable businesses.
