, /PRNewswire/ -- White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported book value per share of $2,170 as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of 1% for the first quarter of 2026, including dividends.

Liam Caffrey, CEO, commented, "Book value per share ended the quarter at $2,170, down roughly 1% from year-end. Solid operating results were more than offset by a mark-to-market decline in our investment in MediaAlpha. Ark posted a 91% combined ratio and generated $1.1 billion of gross written premiums. Kudu grew adjusted EBITDA and produced a 12% return on equity on a trailing 12 months basis. HG Global assumed $8 million of gross written premiums and grew book value by 2%. Distinguished grew managed premiums by 7% year-over-year and has now launched four new programs since our acquisition. Excluding MediaAlpha, the investment portfolio returned 1.0%, ahead of benchmarks, with modest gains in both equities and fixed income. In February, we deployed $125 million of capital into Bishop Street Underwriters and more recently announced two acquisitions by WTM Partners. Including these deployments, undeployed capital is roughly $0.8 billion." 

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(27) million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $35 million in the first quarter of 2025. Results in the first quarter of 2026 included $11 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains compared to $87 million in the first quarter of 2025. Results in the first quarter of 2026 also included $65 million of unrealized investment losses from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha compared to $37 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Ark/WM Outrigger

The Ark/WM Outrigger segment's combined ratio was 91% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 97% in the first quarter of 2025. Ark/WM Outrigger reported gross written premiums of $1,091 million, net written premiums of $590 million and net earned premiums of $374 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross written premiums of $1,108 million, net written premiums of $728 million and net earned premiums of $358 million in the first quarter of 2025. 

Ark's combined ratio was 91% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 94% in the first quarter of 2025. Ark's combined ratio in the first quarter of 2026 included seven points of catastrophe losses, driven by losses related to the war in Iran. This compares to 25 points of catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2025, driven by losses related to the California wildfires. Ark's combined ratio included five points of net favorable prior year development in the first quarter of 2026, driven primarily by the specialty and property lines of business. This compares to 14 points of net favorable prior year development in the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the marine & energy and property lines of business. 

Ark has exposure to the war in Iran, primarily through the specialty and marine & energy lines of business. In the first quarter of 2026, Ark recorded estimated losses of $25 million (net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums). However, losses could increase as the war is ongoing.

Ark reported gross written premiums of $1,091 million, net written premiums of $590 million and net earned premiums of $371 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross written premiums of $1,108 million, net written premiums of $690 million and net earned premiums of $346 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in Ark's written premiums was driven primarily by a change in the timing of recognition of certain delegated authority business. This change had no impact on the timing of recognition of Ark's earned premiums, which increased 7% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by continued growth in the specialty and property lines of business. Net written premiums were also impacted by Ark's greater use of quota share reinsurance in the current period. As a result, ceded written premiums increased to $501 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $417 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Ark reported pre-tax income of $7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $52 million in the first quarter of 2025. Ark's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) of $(33) million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $30 million in the first quarter of 2025. 

Ian Beaton, CEO of Ark, said, "We are off to a good start in 2026, producing a combined ratio of 91% and gross written premiums of $1.1 billion. Market conditions continue to soften, but we still see opportunities to drive profitable growth, including through the addition of new teams and classes of business." 

WM Outrigger Re's combined ratio was 44% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 166% in the first quarter of 2025. Catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2025 included $19 million of losses related to the California wildfires (net of reinstatement premiums). Ark renewed Outrigger Re Ltd. for the 2026 underwriting year with $70 million of unaffiliated third-party capital.  

Through March 31, 2026, WM Outrigger Re has generated pre-tax income of $57 million from the 2025 underwriting year, $29 million from the 2024 underwriting year and $76 million from the 2023 underwriting year.

Kudu

Kudu reported total revenues of $63 million, pre-tax income of $52 million and adjusted EBITDA of $17 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to total revenues of $64 million, pre-tax income of $53 million and adjusted EBITDA of $16 million in the first quarter of 2025. Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA included $21 million of net investment income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $19 million in the first quarter of 2025. Total revenues and pre-tax income also included $42 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $44 million in the first quarter of 2025. On a trailing 12 months basis, return on equity was 12% as of March 31, 2026, down from 13% for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to lower net realized and unrealized investment gains.

Rob Jakacki, CEO of Kudu, said, "Despite heightened volatility in global financial markets, Kudu delivered a solid first quarter that reflects both the resilience of our portfolio and investment discipline. We closed one new deal in the quarter and continue to pursue an active pipeline." 

HG Global

HG Global reported gross written premiums of $8 million and earned premiums of $8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross written premiums of $7 million and earned premiums of $8 million in the first quarter of 2025. HG Global's total par value of policies assumed was $518 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $427 million in the first quarter of 2025. HG Global's total gross pricing was 160 basis points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 157 basis points in the first quarter of 2025. 

HG Global reported pre-tax income of $11 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $25 million in the first quarter of 2025. HG Global's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) of $(5) million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $10 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by movements in interest rates.

The fair value of the BAM surplus notes increased to $346 million as of March 31, 2026 compared to $339 million as of December 31, 2025, resulting from $7 million of accrued interest. 

Kevin Pearson, President of HG Global, said, "HG Global had a strong start to the year, with gross written premiums increasing 24% during the first quarter. The growth in written premiums was driven primarily by an increase in primary market activity and secondary market pricing."

We encourage you to read BAM's first quarter statutory financial statements and operating supplement, which will be available on BAM's website at https://bambonds.com/about-bam/credit-rating-and-financial-information/.

Distinguished

Distinguished reported managed premiums of $132 million, commission and fee revenues of $40 million, pre-tax loss of $18 million and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA of $4 million for the first quarter of 2026.

On a trailing 12 months basis, Distinguished reported managed premiums of $576 million and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA of $26 million. This includes periods prior to White Mountains's ownership of Distinguished, which White Mountains believes is useful in understanding Distinguished's performance.

Jason Rotman, President of Distinguished, said "Distinguished had a flattish quarter. Overall ScaleCo growth was muted, with strong premium growth in the environmental program offset by a decline in the umbrella program amid continued market pressure.  During the quarter, we continued to execute well on our inorganic de novo build strategy, launching one new program. We also continue to invest in technology and talent across the platform to drive organic growth over the medium-term." 

MediaAlpha 

As of March 31, 2026, White Mountains owned 17.9 million shares of MediaAlpha, representing a 28% basic ownership interest based on the total class A and class B common shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, MediaAlpha's share price was $9.30 per share, which decreased from $12.95 per share as of December 31, 2025. The carrying value of White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha was $166 million as of March 31, 2026 compared to $231 million as of December 31, 2025. At our current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $7.00 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains's book value per share.

We encourage you to read MediaAlpha's first quarter earnings release and related shareholder letter, which is available on MediaAlpha's investor relations website at https://investors.mediaalpha.com.

Other Operations

White Mountains's Other Operations reported pre-tax loss of $80 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $59 million in the first quarter of 2025. Unrealized investment losses from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha were $65 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $37 million in the first quarter of 2025. Excluding MediaAlpha, net realized and unrealized investment gains were $7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net investment income was $14 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $10 million in the first quarter of 2025. 

White Mountains's Other Operations reported other revenues of $56 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $14 million in the first quarter of 2025.  White Mountains's Other Operations reported cost of sales of $43 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $8 million in the first quarter of 2025.  The increases in other revenues and cost of sales were driven primarily by the consolidation of WTM Partners's investment in Enterprise Solutions in the second quarter of 2025. 

White Mountains's Other Operations reported general and administrative expenses of $55 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $36 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was driven primarily by higher incentive compensation costs and the consolidation of Enterprise Solutions. 

In the second quarter of 2026, WTM Partners closed two new acquisitions.  The acquisition of BaseSix Systems LLC, a low voltage electrical systems integrator, closed on April 1, 2026 and represented an equity investment of approximately $97 million.  The acquisition of Hawkeye Electric, LLC, a provider of specialty electrical contracting services, closed on May 1, 2026 and represented an equity investment of approximately $35 million.

The total consolidated portfolio return was 0.2% in the first quarter of 2026. Excluding MediaAlpha, the total consolidated portfolio return was 1.0% in the first quarter of 2026. The total consolidated portfolio return was 1.7% in the first quarter of 2025. Excluding MediaAlpha, the total consolidated portfolio return was 2.3% in the first quarter of 2025.

Mark Plourde, President of White Mountains Advisors, said, "Excluding MediaAlpha, the total portfolio returned 1.0% in the quarter. Absolute and relative results were solid amid challenging financial markets. The fixed income portfolio returned 0.5%, ahead of the longer-duration Bloomberg Intermediate Aggregate Index return of 0.1%. Excluding MediaAlpha, the equity portfolio returned 1.6%, ahead of the S&P 500 Index return of -4.3%. Relative results were driven by gains from our portfolio of other long-term investments."

Regulation G

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

Kudu's EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, annualized adjusted EBITDA, annualized revenue and cash revenue yield 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 revenue and earnings 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 recorded on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses from 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. Annualized adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) annualizes partial year revenues related to Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts acquired during the previous 12-month period and (ii) removes partial year revenues related to revenue and earnings participation contracts sold during the previous 12-month period.

Annualized revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds the adjustments for annualized adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net investment income. 

Cash revenue yield is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived using annualized revenue as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net investment income revenue yield, which is derived using GAAP net investment income as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested. 

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu's performance.  White Mountains also believes that annualized adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in understanding the full earnings profile of Kudu's business as of the end of any 12-month period.  See page 14 for the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net investment income to annualized revenue.

Distinguished's ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. ScaleCo net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss). 

ScaleCo 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 ScaleCo net income (loss).

ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those items added back to calculate ScaleCo EBITDA.  The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (ii) restructuring expenses.  A description of each item follows:

Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Distinguished's management compensation that are settled with equity units in Distinguished. Restructuring expenses - Represents costs directly related to Distinguished's corporate restructuring and capital planning activities. White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Distinguished's performance.  White Mountains also believes that excluding the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which Distinguished views as an investment in start-up programs, is useful to understanding the performance of Distinguished's established programs.  See page 17 for the reconciliation of Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA.

Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha and total equity portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes these measures to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains's investment portfolio and equity portfolio without regard to White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha.

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:
