JAMES RIVER ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER
2022 RESULTS

Pembroke, Bermuda, November 1, 2022 - James River Group Holdings, Ltd. ("James River" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JRVR) today reported a third quarter 2022 net loss available to common shareholders of $7.2 million ($0.19 per diluted share), compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $23.9 million ($0.64 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net operating income1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $15.5 million ($0.41 per diluted share), compared to an adjusted net operating loss1 of $26.8 million ($0.72 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2021.
Highlights for the quarter included:
▪Third quarter 2022 Group combined ratio of 94.1% on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers ("combined ratio"), and 91.5% excluding the impact of catastrophe losses; adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity1 of 17.5%. Unless specified otherwise, all underwriting performance ratios presented herein are for our business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers.
▪Excess and Surplus Lines ("E&S") segment combined ratio of 88.2%, and 84.6% excluding the impact of catastrophe losses.
▪As a result of adverse development on the reserves subject to the commercial auto loss portfolio transfer agreement ("Commercial Auto LPT"), retroactive reinsurance accounting treatment results in a net loss for the quarter. However, the Company recognized a substantial benefit in the quarter from the Commercial Auto LPT, which provides unlimited coverage of adverse development on the portfolio.
▪Net written premium growth of 20.3% due to increased net retention in the E&S segment; E&S renewal pricing increased 8.4%, largely unchanged from the increase in renewal pricing of the same quarter last year.
▪Net catastrophe losses related to Hurricane Ian of $5.0 million, or 2.6 percentage points on the Group loss ratio.
▪Net investment income increased 17.7% sequentially compared to the second quarter of 2022.
▪Year to date combined ratio of 94.2% and adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity1 of 16.0%.

1 Adjusted net operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Frank D'Orazio, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the third quarter of 2022 we continued to demonstrate our focus on disciplined underwriting and consistent performance, with all segments reporting an underwriting profit. E&S renewal rate increases remain strong and in excess of our view of loss trend. While we took proactive underwriting actions on discrete elements of our portfolio where renewal pricing did not meet our appetite, we continued to benefit from ample opportunities and robust market conditions overall as policy count grew by 7.3% and we increased our net retention in E&S by ten percentage points. Additionally, our results validate our heightened focus on risk management and highlight the value of recent strategic actions as we had modest exposure to Hurricane Ian and benefited from the legacy commercial auto loss portfolio transfer that we executed last year. The results of these combined actions produced a very attractive adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity of 17.5% in the quarter.”

•E&S gross written premium decreased 5.9% compared to the prior year quarter, while net written premium increased 10.2% due to higher net retention. The decline was driven by discrete actions taken on renewal business that did not meet our appetite. Renewal rate increases were 8.4% during the third quarter of 2022, representing the twenty-third consecutive quarter of renewal rate increases compounding to 61.5%. On a year to date basis, E&S gross written premium has increased 10.2% with most underwriting divisions experiencing double digit growth.
•Gross written premium for the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment increased 1.8% from the prior year quarter. During the quarter there was a combined 4.0% reduction to premium from our individual risk workers' compensation business and our large workers' compensation fronted program. The remaining segment premium increased 5.1% despite the loss of a fronting partner that was acquired at the end of 2021.
•Gross written premium in the Casualty Reinsurance segment increased significantly compared to the prior year quarter primarily driven by premium adjustments and a timing difference with one renewal and extension. On a year to date basis, gross premium has declined 37.6% and we remain on track to reduce gross premium by approximately $100 million during 2022. Since the earning patterns of the business can extend over multiple years, changes in net earned premium for this segment will lag the expected decline in gross and net written premium.
•Pre-tax favorable (unfavorable) reserve development by segment on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers was as follows:

Specialty Admitted Insurance1,268 500 
Casualty Reinsurance0 (15,063)
$1,129 $(44,098)
•During the third quarter of 2022, due to adverse paid loss trends on the legacy commercial auto portfolio, the Company recognized adverse prior year development of $46.7 million on the reserves subject to the Commercial Auto LPT. Because the reserves were fully subject to the agreement that provides unlimited coverage, the Company does not expect any economic impact from this development. The Company recorded a retroactive reinsurance benefit of $25.9 million in loss and loss adjustment expenses and a deferred retroactive reinsurance gain of $20.8 million on the Balance Sheet.
•Net catastrophe losses related to Hurricane Ian were $5.0 million, or 2.6 percentage points on the Group loss ratio. The losses were primarily related to the Excess Property underwriting division in the E&S segment. Because the Company purchases significant property catastrophe reinsurance, it does not expect additional net catastrophe losses from events during the quarter.

•Gross fee income was as follows:
Three Months Ended

($ in thousands)20222021% Change
Specialty Admitted Insurance$5,935 $5,627 5 %
•The consolidated expense ratio was 24.6% for the third quarter of 2022, largely unchanged from 24.8% in the prior year third quarter. The expense ratio benefited from 11.5% growth in net earned premium and 5.5% growth in fee income, while underwriting expenses increased at a slightly lower rate.

Investment Results
Net investment income for the third quarter of 2022 was $17.3 million, an increase of 13.2% compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2021. Income from fixed maturities and equities increased due to higher yields and growth in the portfolio, while income from renewable energy and other private investments declined from the prior year period primarily due to market volatility. Growth in income from fixed maturities, bank loans and equities increased 31.0% compared to the prior year period and 16.7% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
The Company’s net investment income consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended

Renewable Energy Investments$134 $918 (85)%
Other Private Investments(557)842 NM
All Other Net Investment Income17,729 13,52931 %
Total Net Investment Income$17,306 $15,289 13 %
The Company’s annualized gross investment yield on average fixed maturity, bank loan and equity securities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 3.6% (versus 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021). The investment yield increased primarily as a result of higher market yields on fixed maturity securities and bank loans.
Net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compares to net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. The majority of the realized and unrealized losses during the third quarter of 2022 were related to changes in fair values of our preferred and common equity securities and, to a lesser extent, our secured bank loan portfolio.
Taxes
Generally the Company's effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period based on the relative mix of income reported by country and the respective tax rates imposed by each tax jurisdiction. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 30.9%. The tax rate is impacted by the geographic mix of income.

Tangible Equity
Tangible equity2 of $474.9 million at September 30, 2022 declined 9.0% compared to tangible equity of $521.6 million at June 30, 2022, due to an increase in unrealized losses in the Company's fixed maturity portfolio. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") declined by $60.7 million during the third quarter of 2022, with higher interest rates driving a decline in the value of the Company's fixed maturity securities. Tangible equity excluding AOCI was $650.1 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $477.5 million at December 31, 2021, with the increase driven by proceeds from the Series A preferred shares issued during the first quarter of 2022 and positive net income available to common shareholders.
Capital Management
The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share. This dividend is payable on Friday, December 30, 2022 to all shareholders of record on Monday, December 12, 2022.

In some cases, such forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, should, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and uncertainties, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended; downgrades in the financial strength rating of our regulated insurance subsidiaries impacting our ability to attract and retain insurance and reinsurance business that our subsidiaries write, our competitive position, and our financial condition; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both; the impact of a persistent high inflationary environment on our reserves, the values of our investment returns, and on our compensation expenses; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential

failure to maintain, or decision to terminate, such relationships; our ability to obtain reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk and adequately protect our company against financial loss; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims, insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims, or a former customer with whom we have an indemnification arrangement failing to perform its reimbursement obligations, and our potential inability to demand or maintain adequate collateral to mitigate such risks; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations; the ongoing effect of Public Law No. 115-97, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which may have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we do not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and are therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or any of its foreign subsidiaries becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events, such as natural disasters and terrorist acts, which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government actions on our operations and financial performance; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley”); and changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting James River Group Holdings, Ltd.’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such measures, including underwriting profit (loss), adjusted net operating income (loss), tangible equity, tangible common equity, adjusted net operating return on tangible equity (which is calculated as annualized adjusted net operating income (loss) divided by the average quarterly tangible equity balances in the respective period), and adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity (which is calculated as annualized adjusted net operating income (loss) divided by the average quarterly tangible common equity balances in the respective period), are referred to as non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Underwriting Performance Ratios

The following table provides the underwriting performance ratios of the Company inclusive of the business subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers. There is no economic impact to the Company over the life of a loss portfolio transfer contract so long as any additional losses subject to the contract are within the limit of the loss portfolio transfer and the counterparty performs under the contract. Retroactive reinsurance accounting is not indicative of our current and ongoing operations. Management believes that providing loss ratios and combined ratios on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers gives the users of our financial statements useful information in evaluating our current and ongoing operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Underwriting Profit

The following table reconciles the underwriting profit by individual operating segment and for the entire Company to consolidated income before taxes. We believe that the disclosure of underwriting profit by individual segment and of the Company as a whole is useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information in evaluating our performance because our objective is to consistently earn underwriting profits. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources based primarily on underwriting profit. We define underwriting profit as net earned premiums and gross fee income (in specific instances when the Company is not retaining insurance risk) less losses and loss adjustment expenses excluding the impact of loss portfolio transfers accounted for as retroactive reinsurance and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include the underwriting, acquisition, and insurance expenses of the operating segments and, for consolidated underwriting profit, the expenses of the Corporate and Other segment. Our definition of underwriting profit may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Adjusted Net Operating Income

We define adjusted net operating income as income available to common shareholders excluding a) the impact of loss portfolio transfers accounted for as retroactive reinsurance, b) net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, c) certain non-operating expenses such as professional service fees related to a purported class action lawsuit, various strategic initiatives, and the filing of registration statements for the offering of securities, and d) severance costs associated with terminated employees. We use adjusted net operating income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of adjusted net operating income may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Our income (loss) available to common shareholders reconciles to our adjusted net operating income (loss) as follows:

Tangible Equity (per Share) and Tangible Common Equity (per Share)

We define tangible equity as shareholders' equity plus mezzanine Series A preferred shares and the unrecognized deferred retroactive reinsurance gain on loss portfolio transfers less goodwill and intangible assets (net of amortization). We define tangible common equity as tangible equity less mezzanine Series A preferred shares. Our definition of tangible equity and tangible common equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible equity and tangible common equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity to tangible equity and tangible common equity for September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
