Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (the “Company”) is intended to furnish certain estimated financial and operating results of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The estimated financial and operating results as of and for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, reflect management’s current views, and may change as a result of management’s review of results and other factors, including a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties. Such preliminary results are subject to the finalization of year-end financial and accounting procedures (which have yet to be performed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The actual results may be materially different from the estimated results. See the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014 (the “Annual Report”).
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being “furnished” to comply with Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” by the Company for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Updated Financial Information
The information in this section of Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is intended to update certain financial information that was previously provided in the Annual Report and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2014 (the “Quarterly Report”) in order to permit Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. (“TPRUSA”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was incorporated on November 21, 2014, to incur indebtedness guaranteed by the Company.
The updated financial information includes, in a footnote to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the applicable periods, condensed consolidating financial information for the periods specified in the Annual Report and the Quarterly Report with separate columns for the Company, TPRUSA, any other subsidiaries of the Company on a combined basis, consolidating adjustments and the total consolidated amounts. There was no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any of the periods presented as a result of or otherwise relating to the updated financial information.
Accordingly, the following documents are filed as part of Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K:
Form 10-K: Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Exhibit 99.2)
Form 10-Q: Item 1. Financial Statements (Exhibit 99.3)
Information About Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc.
TPRUSA is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Its direct parent company is Third Point Re (UK) Holdings Ltd., a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of the U.K. and Wales and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Copies of TPRUSA’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference.





TPRUSA’s only operations to date relate to accessing financing on behalf of the Company and on behalf of Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. (“Third Point Re USA”), a Bermuda company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and the wholly owned operating subsidiary of TPRUSA. Otherwise, to date TPRUSA has conducted no independent business, offers no products or services and owns no property. As a result, TPRUSA has a limited operating history and is exposed to volatility in its results of operations. Period to period comparisons of its results of operations may not be meaningful.
TPRUSA expects to provide, through a U.S.-based platform, reinsurance products that are substantially similar to the reinsurance products currently provided by the Company. In order to facilitate these new reinsurance operations and obtain surplus relief, in connection with the initial capitalization of TPRUSA and Third Point Re USA, Third Point Re USA intends to enter into a quota share reinsurance agreement with Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd., a Bermuda company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Third Point Re"), pursuant to which Third Point Re would assume 75% of premium and losses for Third Point Re USA’s portfolio of reinsurance contracts. Third Point Re USA also intends to enter into a net worth maintenance agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company would agree to commit funds sufficient to maintain a minimum level of capital at Third Point Re USA of $250 million, and a services agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company would agree to provide certain general and administrative support services. In addition, Third Point Re USA intends to enter into a joint venture and investment management agreement with Third Point LLC and Third Point Advisors LLC, and to become a party to the Founders Agreement dated as of December 22, 2011 among Third Point Re and several affiliates of the Company.
TPRUSA’s U.S. presence is a strategic component of the Company’s overall growth strategy. As a result of TPRUSA’s U.S. presence, the Company expects to strengthen its relationships with U.S. cedents and brokers. The Company also expects to develop a firsthand understanding of cedent underwriting and claims capabilities that will benefit the Company’s own underwriting practices.
As a result of TPRUSA’s activities in the United States, the Company expects that TPRUSA will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its net income. However, the Company believes that its current activities, notwithstanding activities conducted through TPRUSA, will not cause the Company to be treated as engaging in a U.S. trade or business and will not cause the Company otherwise to be subject to current U.S. federal income taxation on its consolidated net income. See “Risk Factors--We may be subject to United States federal income taxation” in the Annual Report.
TPRUSA’s principal executive offices are located at 51 JFK Parkway, First Floor West, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078. Its telephone number is 908-608-8970.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s industry, business strategy, plans, goals and expectations concerning the Company’s market position, international expansion, future operations, margins, profitability, future efficiencies, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the words “may,” “believes,” “intends,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,” “assumes,” “continues,” “could,” “will,” “future” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from the Company’s expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.





Factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In evaluating the forward-looking statements, readers are urged to carefully consider the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Annual Report as well as any additional risk factors included in the Company’s periodic or current reports since the date of the Annual Report. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:
limited historical information about the Company;
operational structure currently is being developed;
fluctuation in results of operations;
more established competitors;
losses exceeding reserves;
downgrades or withdrawal of ratings by rating agencies;
depending on key executives;
dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms;
potential inability to pay dividends;
unavailability of capital in the future;
dependence on clients’ evaluations of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting;
suspension or revocation of the Company’s reinsurance licenses;
potentially being deemed an investment company under U.S. federal securities law;
potential characterization of the Company and/or Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. as a passive foreign investment company;
dependence on Third Point LLC, the Company’s investment manager, to implement the Company’s investment strategy;
termination by Third Point LLC of the Company’s investment management agreement;
risks associated with the Company’s investment strategy being greater than those faced by competitors;
increased regulation or scrutiny of alternative investment advisers affecting the Company’s reputation;
the Company potentially becoming subject to United States federal income taxation;
the Company potentially becoming subject to U.S. withholding and information reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; and
other risks and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K ultimately prove to be accurate. The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and readers should not place undue reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

They shall be numbered in the order of their issue and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or one of the vice‑presidents, and the Secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, and the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof shall be impressed or affixed or reproduced thereon, provided, however, that where such certificates are signed by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the Corporation and a registrar, the signature of any such Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, vice‑president, Secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer may be facsimile. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon have not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.

Section 2. Registration and Transfer of Shares : The name of each person owning a share of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be entered on the books of the Corporation together with the number of shares held by him, the numbers of the certificates covering such shares and the dates of issue of such certificates. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person, or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, on surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares, accompanied by an assignment or power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, and with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require. A record shall be made of each transfer.





The Board of Directors may make other and further rules and regulations concerning the transfer and registration of certificates for stock and may appoint a transfer agent or registrar or both and may require all certificates of stock to bear the signature of either or both.
Section 3. Lost, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates : The holder of any stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the certificates therefor. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representatives, to give the Corporation a bond, in such sum not exceeding double the value of the stock and with such surety or sureties as they may require, to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it by reason of the issue of such new certificate and against all other liability in the premises, or may remit such owner to such remedy or remedies as he may have under the laws of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII. DIVIDENDS, SURPLUS, ETC.

Section 1. General Discretion of Directors : The Board of Directors shall have power to fix and vary the amount to be set aside or reserved as working capital of the Corporation, or as reserves, or for other proper purposes of the Corporation, and, subject to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, to determine whether any, if any, part of the surplus or net profits of the Corporation shall be declared as dividends and paid to the stockholders, and to fix the date or dates for the payment of dividends.

Section 4. Waiver of Notice : Any stockholder or director may at any time, by writing or by telegraph or by cable, waive any notice required to be given under these By‑laws, and if any stockholder or director shall be present at any meeting his presence shall constitute a waiver of such notice.

Section 5. Checks, Drafts, etc. : All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Corporation, shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the Corporation, and in such manner, as shall from time to time be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement (Form S-8 No. 333-190724) pertaining to the Third Point Reinsurance Limited Share Incentive Plan and the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. of our report dated February 27, 2014, except for Notes 25 and 26, as to which the date is January 19, 2015, with respect to the financial statements and financial statement schedules of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., included in the Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2013, as updated by this Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Exhibit 99.1



The following tables set forth certain estimated financial and operating results of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. ("TPRE") as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, together with audited financial and operating results as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013:

(1)     TPRE’s investments are managed by its investment manager, Third Point LLC, under a long-term investment management contract. TPRE directly owns the investments, which are held in a separate account and managed by Third Point LLC. Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interest. The stated return is net of withholding taxes, which are presented as a component of income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.  
(2)      Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net premiums earned. The combined ratio compares the amount of net premiums earned to the amount incurred in claims and underwriting related expenses. This ratio is a key indicator of a reinsurance company’s profitability. A combined ratio greater than 100% means that loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities exceeded net premiums earned.  
(3)     See additional information in Note 5 to TPRE’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and Note 5 to TPRE’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2015.  
The financial and operating results for TPRE as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in the tables above have been derived from TPRE’s audited financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2015 and incorporated by reference herein.
The estimated financial operating results as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 reflect the following:
The primary driver of TPRE's net income is the net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, which was lower for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.
TPRE's combined ratio improved primarily due to a lower general and administrative expense ratio compared to the prior year driven by proportionately higher net premiums earned.
TPRE's increase in total net investments managed by Third Point LLC reflects net investment income and contributions of float generated by TPRE's reinsurance operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The increase in TPRE's total shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders primarily reflects net income for the year ended December 31, 2014.




The estimated financial and operating results for TPRE’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in the tables above are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, reflect management’s current views, and may change as a result of management’s review of results and other factors, including a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties. The preliminary results are subject to the finalization of year-end financial and accounting procedures (which have yet to be completed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The actual results may be materially different from the estimated results. See the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of TPRE’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as well as any additional risk factors included in TPRE’s quarterly or interim reports since the date of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The estimated financial and operating results presented in the tables above were not prepared with a view toward complying with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board guidelines with respect to prospective financial information. Neither our independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has audited, reviewed or compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the estimated results, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on the estimated results.
You should read the information in the tables above in conjunction with TPRE’s historical financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial and statistical information that we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Exhibit 99.1 may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding TPRE’s industry, business strategy, plans, goals and expectations concerning TPRE’s market position, international expansion, future operations, margins, profitability, future efficiencies, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. When used in this Exhibit 99.1, the words “may,” “believes,” “intends,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,” “assumes,” “continues,” “could,” “will,” “future” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this Exhibit 99.1.
Forward-looking statements reflect TPRE’s current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Although TPRE believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, TPRE can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from TPRE’s expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements can be found in TPRE’s periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In evaluating the forward-looking statements, readers are urged to carefully consider the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of TPRE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014 (the “Annual Report”) as well as any additional risk factors included in TPRE’s periodic or current reports since the date of the Annual Report. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:
limited historical information about TPRE;
operational structure currently is being developed;
fluctuation in results of operations;
more established competitors;
losses exceeding reserves;
downgrades or withdrawal of ratings by rating agencies;
depending on key executives;
dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms;
potential inability to pay dividends;
unavailability of capital in the future;
dependence on clients’ evaluations of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting;
suspension or revocation of TPRE’s reinsurance licenses;
potentially being deemed an investment company under U.S. federal securities law;
potential characterization of TPRE and/or Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. as a passive foreign investment company;




dependence on Third Point LLC, TPRE’s investment manager, to implement TPRE’s investment strategy;
termination by Third Point LLC of TPRE’s investment management agreement;
risks associated with TPRE’s investment strategy being greater than those faced by competitors;
increased regulation or scrutiny of alternative investment advisers affecting TPRE’s reputation;
TPRE potentially becoming subject to United States federal income taxation;
TPRE potentially becoming subject to U.S. withholding and information reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; and
other risks and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in TPRE’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect TPRE’s financial condition or future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this Exhibit 99.1 ultimately prove to be accurate. TPRE’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and readers should not place undue reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and TPRE undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period from October 6, 2011 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period from October 6, 2011 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1.
Organization
Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011 and, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Third Point Re”), is a provider of global specialty property and casualty reinsurance products. Third Point Re was incorporated in Bermuda and is registered as a Class 4 insurer under the Insurance Act 1978, as amended, and related regulations (the “Act”). Third Point Re commenced reinsurance operations in January 2012.
On June 15, 2012, Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund”), Third Point Reinsurance Investment Management Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund Manager”), and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Reinsurer”) were incorporated in Bermuda. The Company subsequently announced a strategic arrangement with Hiscox Insurance Company (Bermuda) Limited (“Hiscox”) to launch a collateralized catastrophe reinsurance underwriting fund management business. The Catastrophe Fund Manager, a Bermuda exempted company, is the investment manager of the Catastrophe Fund and is 85% owned by Third Point Re and 15% owned by Hiscox. The Catastrophe Fund Manager is responsible for the investment and management of the Catastrophe Fund’s assets. The Catastrophe Fund is an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda and is open to both related party and third party investors. The Catastrophe Fund Manager also acts as manager of the Catastrophe Reinsurer and, in this capacity, is responsible for overseeing the underwriting and investment activities of the Catastrophe Reinsurer. The Catastrophe Reinsurer is a Bermuda exempted company and is licensed as a special purpose insurer under the Act.
On August 2, 2012, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing (UK) Limited. (“TPRUK”). On May 20, 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,832,484 common shares at an offering price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million , after deducting offering costs. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPRE”.
These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2.
Significant accounting policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Company:
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, estimates of written and earned premiums and fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less.

F- 7



Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in trust accounts with the Catastrophe Reinsurer, securing collateralized reinsurance contracts written and cash held with brokers securing letters of credit issued under credit facilities.
Premium revenue recognition
The Company estimates the ultimate premiums for the entire contract period and records this estimate at the inception of the contract, to the extent that the amount of written premium is estimable. For contracts where the full written premium is not estimable at inception, the Company records written premium for the portion of the contract period for which the amount is estimable. These estimates are based primarily on information in the underlying contracts as well as information provided by clients and/or brokers.
Premiums written are earned over the exposure period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the remaining term of the underlying policies in force.
Premiums for retroactive reinsurance contracts, where the Company has evaluated and concluded that risk transfer has occured, are earned at the inception of the contract, as all of the underlying loss events covered by these contracts occurred in the past. Any underwriting profit at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract is deferred and recognised over the estimated future payout of the loss and loss adjustment expenses reserves. Any underwriting loss at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract is recognised immediately.
Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
Reinsurance premiums ceded
The Company reduces the risk of losses on business written by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the extent that the Company does not hold sufficient security for their unpaid obligations. Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risks incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of reinsurance ceded.
Deferred acquisition costs
Acquisition costs consist of commissions, brokerage and excise taxes that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal reinsurance contracts. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment income is greater than expected future loss and loss adjustment expenses and acquisition costs. If a loss is probable on the unexpired portion of contracts in force, a premium deficiency loss is recognized. As of December 31, 2013 , deferred acquisition costs are considered to be fully recoverable and no premium deficiency has been recorded.
Acquisition costs also include profit commissions that are expensed when incurred. Profit commissions are calculated and accrued based on the expected loss experience for contracts and recorded when the current loss estimate indicates that a profit commission is probable under the contract terms.
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR reserves”). Case reserves are established for losses that have been reported, but not yet paid, based on loss reports from brokers and ceding companies. IBNR reserves represent the estimated loss and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet reported to the insurer or reinsurer, including unknown future developments on loss and loss adjustment expenses which are known to the insurer or reinsurer. IBNR

F- 8



reserves are established by management based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses.
Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period in which they become known.
Deposit liabilities
Certain contracts do not transfer sufficient insurance risk and are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Management exercises judgment in determining whether contracts contain sufficient risk to be accounted for as reinsurance contracts. Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially recorded based upon the consideration received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the deposit liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect actual payments to date and future expected payments.
Fair value measurement
The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with current accounting guidance, which defines fair value and establishes a three level fair value hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or would pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the estimated fair value of each individual security utilizing the highest level inputs available.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
Investments
The Company’s investments are classified as “trading securities” and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The fair value of the Company’s investments are based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications and/or internal pricing valuation techniques. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis with balances pending settlement included in due to/from brokers in the consolidated balance sheets.
Realized gains and losses are determined using cost calculated on a specific identification basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis including interest and premiums amortized and discounts accreted.
Derivatives
Underwriting
The Catastrophe Reinsurer enters into certain contracts under which the potential loss payments are triggered exclusively by reference to a specified index, such as an industry loss. These contracts are considered derivatives. The Company records the fair value of these contracts in derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in net investment income in the consolidated statement of income.



F- 9



Investments
Derivative instruments within our investment assets managed by our investment manager Third Point LLC, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair values and realized gains and losses recognised in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Derivatives serve as a key component of the Company’s investment strategy and are utilized primarily to structure the portfolio, or individual investments, and to economically match the investment objectives of the Company. The Company's derivatives do not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis and not offset against any collateral pledged or received. Pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") master agreements, securities lending agreements and other derivatives agreements, the Company and its counterparties typically have the ability to net certain payments owed to each other in specified circumstances. In addition, in the event a party to one of the ISDA master agreements, securities lending agreements or other derivatives agreements defaults, or a transaction is otherwise subject to termination, the non-defaulting party generally has the right to set off against payments owed to the defaulting party or collateral held by the non defaulting party.
The Company enters into derivative contracts to manage credit risk, interest rate risk, currency exchange risk, and other exposure risks. The Company uses derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to economically hedge certain risks and to gain exposure to certain investments. The utilization of derivative contracts also allows for an efficient means by which to trade certain asset classes.
Fair values of derivatives are determined by using quoted market prices and counterparty quotes when available; otherwise fair values are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of underlying financial instruments.
Share-based compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation transactions using the fair value of the award at the grant date. Determining the fair value of share purchase options at the grant date requires estimation and judgment. The Company uses an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) to calculate the fair value of share purchase options.
For share purchase options granted that contain both a service and performance condition, the Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the options that are considered probable of being exercised. Share compensation for share purchase options considered probable of being exercised is expensed over the service (vesting) period on a graded vesting basis. The probability of share purchase options being exercised is evaluated at each reporting period.  When the share purchase options are considered probable of being exercised, the Company records a catch up of share compensation expense from the grant date (service inception date for existing options) to the current reporting period end based on the fair value of the options at the grant date.
The Company measures grant date fair value for restricted share awards based on the price of its common shares at the grant date and the expense is recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Warrants
The Company accounts for certain warrant contracts issued to its Founders in conjunction with the initial capitalization of the Company, and which it may settle by using either the physical settlement or net-share settlement methods. The fair value of these warrants was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. The fair value of warrants issued are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company accounts for certain warrant contracts issued to an advisor, where services have been received by the Company, in part, in exchange for equity instruments, based on the fair value of such services. The associated cost of these warrants has been recorded as capital raise costs and is included in additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

F- 10



Offering costs
Offering costs incurred in connection with the initial capital raise of the Company and the IPO, which included underwriters’ fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and other fees have been deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. The proceeds from the issuance of shares net of offering costs is included in additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Income taxes and uncertain tax positions
Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are not subject to any income or capital gains taxes. In the event that such taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries would be exempted from any such taxes until March 2035 pursuant to the Tax Assurance Certificates issued to such entities pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, as amended.
As of December 31, 2013 , the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.
Non-controlling interests
The Company consolidates the results of entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company records the portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to non-controlling interests as a separate line within shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the portion of income attributable to non-controlling interests as a separate line within the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, options and convertible securities such as unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents including any dilutive effects of warrants, options and other awards under share plans and are determined using the treasury stock method. U.S. GAAP requires that unvested share awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (referred to as ‘‘participating securities”), be included in the number of shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The Company treats its unvested restricted shares as participating securities. In the event of a net loss, the participating securities are excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined that it had incorrectly calculated diluted earnings per share for the prior periods, which resulted in an understatement of diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share was correctly presented for the prior periods. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from October 6, 2011 (incorporation date) to December 31, 2011 correctly present diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding. The following tables summarize the correct diluted earnings per share amounts and weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding amounts for the prior periods.

Recently issued accounting standards
Issued and effective as of December 31, 2013
In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01). The objective of ASU 2013-01 is to address implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11. ASU 2013-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 9 of notes to consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for periods subsequent to December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Issued but not yet effective as of December 31, 2013

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies - Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2013-08). The amendments in this update change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach for that assessment, which requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing other typical characteristics. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company and consider its purpose and design to determine whether it is an investment company. ASU 2013-08 is effective prospectively for periods subsequent to December 15, 2013. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reinsurance premiums ceded
The Company from time to time purchases retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to manage its overall exposure, to reduce its net liability on individual risks, to obtain additional underwriting capacity and to balance its underwriting portfolio. Additionally, retrocession can be used as a mechanism to share the risks and rewards of business written and therefore can be used as a tool to align the Company’s interests with those of its counterparties. The Company currently has coverage that provides for recovery of a portion of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred on one crop contract. Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable from the retrocessionaires are recorded as assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and reported

F- 13



on the consolidated statements of income (loss) are net of loss and loss expenses recovered of $9.3 million. Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to the insureds. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.

The Company’s Investment Manager has a formal valuation policy that sets forth the pricing methodology for investments to be used in determining the fair value of each security in the Company’s portfolio. The valuation policy is updated and approved at least on an annual basis by Third Point LLC’s valuation committee (the “Committee”), which is comprised of officers and employees who are senior business management personnel of Third Point LLC. The Committee meets monthly. The Committee’s role is to review and verify the propriety and consistency of the valuation methodology to determine the fair value of investments. The Committee also reviews any due diligence performed and approves any changes to current or potential external pricing vendors.
The fair values of investments are estimated using prices obtained from either third-party pricing services or dealer quotes. The methodology for valuation is generally determined based on the investment's asset class as per the Company's Investment Manager valuation policy.  For investments that the Company is unable to obtain fair values from a pricing service or broker, fair values are estimated using information obtained from the Company’s Investment Manager.
Securities and commodities listed on a national securities or commodities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ are valued at their last sales price as of the last business day of the period. Listed securities with no reported sales on such date

F- 14



and over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities are valued at their last closing bid price if held long by the Company, and last closing ask price if held short by the Company. As of December 31, 2013 , securities valued at $483.2 million ( December 31, 2012 - $248.4 million ), representing 33.1% ( December 31, 2012 26.5% ) of investments in securities and commodities, and $41.0 million ( December 31, 2012 - $68.8 million ), representing 73.1% ( December 31, 2012 39.0% ) of securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued based on dealer quotes or other quoted market prices for similar securities.
Private securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period, as determined by the Company's Investment Manager. Valuation techniques used by the Company's Investment Manager may include market approach, last transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the significant inputs could include but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue multiples or price-earnings ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, the Company or the Company’s Investment Manager may employ third party valuation firms to conduct separate valuations of such private securities. The third party valuation firms provide the Company or the Company’s Investment Manager with a written report documenting their recommended valuation as of the determination date for the specified investments.
As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had $3.3 million ( December 31, 2012 - $2.8 million ) of private securities fair valued by a third party valuation firm using information obtained from the Company's Investment Manager. Private securities represented less than 1% of total investments in securities. The actual value at which these securities could actually be sold or settled with a willing buyer or seller may differ from the Company’s estimated fair values depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, current and future economic conditions, the quantity sold or settled, the presence of an active market and the availability of a willing buyer or seller.
The Company’s derivatives are recorded at fair value, and are included in the consolidated balance sheet in derivative assets and derivative liabilities. The Company values exchange-traded derivatives at their last sales price on the exchange where it is primarily traded. OTC derivatives, which include swap, option, swaption, forward, future and contract for differences, are valued by third party sources when available; otherwise, fair values are obtained from counterparty quotes that are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments.
As an extension of its underwriting activities, the Catastrophe Reinsurer has sold derivative instruments that provide reinsurance-like protection to third parties for specific loss events associated with certain lines of business.  These derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with the offset recorded in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).  These contracts are valued on the basis of models developed by the Company, which approximates fair value.
The Company’s holdings in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are substantially invested in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). The balance of the ABS positions was held in commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and student loan asset-backed securities. These investments are valued using dealer quotes or a recognised third-party pricing vendor. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. Investors in these classes of ABS may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, investors may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships at fair value, which is estimated based on the Company's share of the net asset value of the limited partnerships as provided by the investment managers of the underlying investment funds. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company performs several processes to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation of all of the Company’s investments comprising the Company’s investment portfolio, including securities that are categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. These processes include i) obtaining and reviewing weekly and monthly investment portfolio reports from the Investment Manager, ii) obtaining and reviewing monthly Net Asset Value ("NAV") and investment return reports received directly from the Company’s third-party fund administrator which are compared to the reports noted in (i), and iii) monthly update discussions with the Company’s Investment Manager regarding the

F- 15



investment portfolio, including, their process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from outside service providers.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 , there were no changes in the valuation techniques as it relates to the above.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rates of exchange. Transactions during the period are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. The Company does not isolate that portion of the net investment income resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments, dividends and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of securities and derivatives held. Periodic payments received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Such fluctuations are included within net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/ exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs unobservable for the investment and include activities where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The key inputs for corporate, government and sovereign bond valuation are coupon frequency, coupon rate and underlying bond spread. The key inputs for asset-backed securities are yield, probability of default, loss severity and prepayment.
Key inputs for over-the-counter (“OTC”) valuations vary based on the type of underlying security on which the contract was written:
The key inputs for most OTC option contracts include notional, strike price, maturity, payout structure, current foreign exchange forward and spot rates, current market price of underlying and volatility of underlying.
The key inputs for most forward contracts include notional, maturity, forward rate, spot rate, various interest rate curves and discount factor.
The key inputs for swap valuation will vary based on the type of underlying on which the contract was written. Generally, the key inputs for most swap contracts include notional, swap period, fixed rate, credit or interest rate curves, current market or spot price of the underlying and the volatility of the underlying.

(1) Total change in realized and unrealized gain (loss) recorded on Level 3 financial instruments are included in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Total unrealized gains related to fair value assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1.0 million ( December 31, 2012 - $(0.7) million ).
For assets and liabilities that were transferred into Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred into Level 3 at the beginning of the period; similarly, for assets and liabilities that were transferred out of Level 3 during the year, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred out of Level 3 at the beginning of the year. The Company held no Level 3 investments where quantitative unobservable inputs are produced by the Company itself when measuring fair value.
6. Securities purchased under an agreement to sell
The Company may enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with financial institutions in which the financial institution agrees to resell or repurchase and the Company agrees to repurchase or resell such securities at a mutually agreed price upon maturity. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company held outstanding reverse repurchase agreements valued at $38.1 million ( December 31, 2012 - $60.4 million ). As of December 31, 2013 , the total value of

F- 19



securities received as collateral by the Company was $37.6 million ( December 31, 2012 - $60.0 million ). As the Company held only reverse repu rcha se agreements as of December 31, 2013, these positions are not impacted by master netting agreements. Interest expense and income related to these transactions are included in interest payable and receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , foreign currency gains of $1.9 million ( 2012 – gains of $0.6 million) on reverse repurchase agreements are included in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Generally, reverse repurchase agreements mature within 30 to 90 days .
7.
Securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value
Securities sold, not yet purchased are securities that the Company has sold, but does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of the security. The Company’s risk is that the value of the security will increase rather than decline. Consequently, the settlement amount of the liability for securities sold, not yet purchased may exceed the amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the Company is obligated to purchase the securities sold, not yet purchased in the market at prevailing prices to settle its obligations. To sell a security sold, not yet purchased, the Company needs to borrow the security for delivery to the buyer. On each day that the transaction is open, the liability for the obligation to replace the borrowed security is marked-to-market and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. At the time that the transaction is closed, the Company realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the price at which the security was sold and the cost of replacing the borrowed security. While the transaction is open, the Company will also incur an expense for any dividends or interest that will be paid to the lender of the securities.
8.
Due from/to brokers
The Company holds substantially all of its investments through its prime brokers pursuant to various agreements between Third Point LLC and each prime broker. The brokerage arrangements differ from broker to broker, but generally cash and investments in securities balances are available as collateral against investment in securities sold, not yet purchased and derivative positions, if required.
Margin debt balances are collateralized by cash held by the prime brokers and certain of the Company’s securities. Margin interest was paid either at the daily broker call rate or based on LIBOR.
Due from/to brokers include cash balances maintained with the Company’s prime brokers, receivables and payables from unsettled trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet purchased. In addition, due from and to brokers includes cash collateral received and posted from OTC and repurchase agreement counterparties. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company’s due from/to brokers includes a total non-U.S. currency payable balance of $ 268.5 million ( December 31, 2012 - $90.8 million ).

The $4.7 million decrease in prior years' reserves reflects $1.3 million of favorable loss experience on several contracts and $3.4 million related to premium estimate decreases, primarily related to one crop contract. The reduction in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to premium estimates was accompanied by an equal decrease in the premium written and earned for that contract, resulting in a minimal impact to net underwriting income.
11. Management, performance and Founders fees
The Company and Third Point Re are party to a Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Third Point LLC and Third Point Advisors LLC under which Third Point LLC manages certain jointly held assets.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Third Point Advisors LLC receives an annual performance fee allocation equal to 20% of the net investment income of the Company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, subject to a loss carry forward provision. Additionally, a total management fee equal to 2% annually of the Company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC is paid to Third Point LLC and various Founders of the Company. Management fees are paid monthly, whereas performance fees are paid annually, in arrears. 

F- 26



Investment fee expenses related to the Investment Agreement, which are included in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2013 , 103,888,916 common shares were issued and outstanding. No preference shares have been issued to date.

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an IPO of 24,832,484 common shares at a purchase price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million , after deducting offering costs.
Warrants
The Company’s Founders and an advisor provided insurance industry expertise, resources and relationships to ensure that the Company would be fully operational with key management in place in time for the January 2012 underwriting season. In consideration of these commitments, the Company reserved for issuance to the Founders and an advisor warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 4.0% (Founders 3.5% and an advisor 0.5% ) of the diluted shares (up to a maximum of $1 billion of subscribed shares) provided that the Founders and the advisor will not be issued any warrants for common shares issued in consideration for any capital raised by the Company in excess of $1 billion . The following is a summary of warrants as of December 31, 2013 :

The warrants were subject to a performance condition that was met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 3,648,006 of the warrants outstanding had met the performance condition. After the IPO, the remaining 1,003,157 warrants met the performance condition. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , the Company recorded $3.7 million related to the additional warrants that met the performance condition as a result of the IPO. These amounts have been recorded as a component of capital raise costs in additional paid in capital resulting in no net impact to total shareholders’ equity.
The warrants expire 10 years from the date of issuance, December 22, 2011, and will be exercisable at a price per share of $10.00 , which is equal to the price per share paid by investors in the initial private offering.

Share-based compensation
On July 15, 2013, the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2103 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently on August 2, 2013 by the Shareholders of the Company. An aggregate of 21,627,906 common shares were made available under the Omnibus Plan. This number of shares includes the shares available under the Third Point Reinsurance Limited Share Incentive Plan ("Share Incentive Plan"). Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made in the form of performance awards, restricted shares, restricted share units, share options, share appreciation rights and other share-based awards.
As of December 31, 2013 , 10,613,975 of the Company's common shares were available for future issuance under the equity incentive compensation plans.
Share based compensation expense of $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 ( 2012 - $6.4 million ) was included in general and administrative expenses, which included $2.1 million related to additional expense incurred due to the performance condition having been met as a result of the IPO.
As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had $23.8 million of unamortized share compensation expense which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years .
(a)
Management and director options
The management options issued under the Share Incentive Plan were subject to a service and performance condition. The service condition will be met with respect to 20% of the management options on each of the first five anniversary dates following the grant date of the management options. The performance condition with respect to the management options was met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 8,572,594 of the management options outstanding had met the performance condition. After the IPO, the remaining 2,357,633 management options had met the performance condition.
The director options contain only a service condition that will be met with respect to 20% of the director options on each of the five anniversary dates following the grant date of the director options. On November 6, 2013, the director options were modified so that a total of 60% of the outstanding options vested on that date and the remaining 40% of the director options were forfeited. These forfeited options were replaced with restricted share awards.

The fair value of share options issued were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated share price used for purposes of determining the fair value of share options that were granted in the second quarter of 2013 (prior to the IPO) was $10.89 (2012 - $10.00 ). The volatility assumption used of 21.95% (2012

F- 30



- 31.25% ) was based on the average estimated volatility of a reinsurance company peer group. The other assumptions used in the option-pricing model were as follows: risk free interest rate of 1.23% (2012 - 1.9% ), expected life of 6.5 years (2012 - 10.0 years ) and a 0.0% dividend yield (2012 - 0.0% ). As of December 31, 2013, the weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding was 8.1 years (2012 - 9.0 years ).

In addition to the transactions disclosed in Notes 5, 11 and 17 to these consolidated financial statements, the following additional transactions are classified as related party transactions, as each counterparty has either a direct or indirect shareholding in the Company or the Company has an investment in such counterparty.
a)
Pine Brook Road Partners, LLC and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company
Third Point Re entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“Narragansett Bay”) effective December 31, 2012, which was renewed on December 31, 2013. The Company recorded $4.7 million of premiums related to these contracts for the year ended December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012 - $9.0 million ).  Pine Brook Road Partners, LLC (“Pine Brook”) is the manager of an investment fund that owns common shares and warrants issued by the Company. Pine Brook currently owns approximately 12.0% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

b)
TP Lux Holdco LP
Third Point Re entered into a limited partnership agreement, as one of the limited partners of TP Lux Holdco LP (the “Cayman HoldCo”), which is also an affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Cayman HoldCo was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of the Cayman Islands and invests and holds debt and equity interests in TP Lux HoldCo S.a.r.l, a Luxembourg private limited liability company (the “LuxCo”), which is also an affiliate of the Investment Manager.

F- 34



The LuxCo was established under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and its principle objective is to act as a collective investment vehicle to purchase Euro debt and equity investments. Third Point Re invests in the Cayman HoldCo alongside other investment funds managed by the Investment Manager. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Third Point Re held approximately a 10% interest in the Cayman Holdco. As a result, Third Point Re accounts for its investment in the limited partnership under the variable interest model, in which Third Point Re is not the primary beneficiary, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and records the change in the fair value in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
As of December 31, 2013 , the estimated fair value of the investment in the limited partnership was $29.3 million ( December 31, 2012 - $91.3 million).  The valuation policy with respect to this investment in a limited partnership is further described in Note 5.

c)
Third Point Loan L.L.C.

Third Point Re’s pro rata interest in the underlying investments registered in the name of the Loan LLC and the related income and expense are reflected accordingly in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of income (loss).
d)

The valuation policy with respect to this investment in a limited partnership is further described in Note 5.
As of December 31, 2013 , Third Point Re held less than a 2% interest in the Hellenic Fund. As a result, Third Point Re accounts for its investment in the Hellenic Fund under the variable interest model, in which Third Point Re is not the primary beneficiary, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and records the change in the fair value in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

20.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk or concentrations of credit risk
Off-balance sheet risk
In the normal course of business, the Company trades various financial instruments and engages in various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include securities sold, not yet purchased, forwards, futures, options, swaptions, swaps and contracts for differences. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates. Each of these financial instruments contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments or fluctuations in interest rates and index values may exceed the amounts recognised in the consolidated balance sheets.
Securities sold, not yet purchased are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and have market risk to the extent that the Company, in satisfying its obligations, may be required to purchase securities at a higher value than that recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments in securities and amounts due from brokers are partially restricted until the Company satisfies the obligation to deliver securities sold, not yet purchased.

F- 35



Forward and futures contracts are a commitment to purchase or sell financial instruments, currencies or commodities at a future date at a negotiated rate. Forward and futures contracts expose the Company to market risks to the extent that adverse changes occur to the underlying financial instruments such as currency rates or equity index fluctuations.
Option contracts give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell to the option writer financial instruments, commodities or currencies within a defined time period for a specified price. The premium received by the Company upon writing an option contract is recorded as a liability, marked to market on a daily basis and is included in securities sold, not yet purchased in the consolidated balance sheets. In writing an option, the Company bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the financial instrument underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Company could result in the Company selling or buying a financial instrument at a price different from the current fair value.
Swaption contracts give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a specified interest-rate swap within a specified period of time. The Company’s market and counterparty credit risk is limited to the premium paid to enter into the swaption contract and net unrealized gains.
Total return swaps, contracts for differences, index swaps, and interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of cash flows between the Company and counterparties are based on the change in the fair value of a particular equity, index, or interest rate on a specified notional holding. The use of these contracts exposes the Company to market risks equivalent to actually holding securities of the notional value but typically involve little capital commitment relative to the exposure achieved. The gains or losses of the Company may therefore be magnified on the capital commitment.
Credit derivatives
Credit default swaps protect the buyer against the loss of principal on one or more underlying bonds, loans, or mortgages in the event the issuer suffers a credit event. Typical credit events include failure to pay or restructuring of obligations, bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the underlying issuer. The buyer of the protection pays an initial and/or a periodic premium to the seller and receives protection for the period of the contract. If there is not a credit event, as defined in the contract, the buyer receives no payments from the seller. If there is a credit event, the buyer receives a payment from the seller of protection as calculated by the contract between the two parties.
The Company may also enter into index and/or basket credit default swaps where the credit derivative may reference a basket of single-name credit default swaps or a broad-based index. Generally, in the event of a default on one of the underlying names, the buyer will receive a pro-rata portion of the total notional amount of the credit default index or basket contract from the seller. When the Company purchases single-name, index and basket credit default swaps, the Company is exposed to counterparty nonperformance.
Upon selling credit default swap protection, the Company may expose itself to the risk of loss from related credit events specified in the contract. Credit spreads of the underlying together with the period of expiration is indicative of the likelihood of a credit event under the credit default swap contract and the Company’s risk of loss. Higher credit spreads and shorter expiration dates are indicative of a higher likelihood of a credit event resulting in the Company’s payment to the buyer of protection. Lower credit spreads and longer expiration dates would indicate the opposite and lowers the likelihood the Company needs to pay the buyer of protection. Cash collateral available to the Company to mitigate potential counterparty risk related to written credit default swaps amounted to $1.6 million as of December 31, 2013 . Cash collateral received is based on the net exposure associated with all derivative instruments subject to applicable netting agreements with counterparties and may not be specific to any individual derivative contract.

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company did not hold any offsetting buy protection credit derivatives with the same underlying reference obligation.
(2)
Fair value amounts of derivative contracts are shown on a gross basis prior to cash collateral or counterparty netting.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company sold protection on an index-reference obligation with a maximum potential payout amount of $0.4 million , a credit spread of 0.44% and maturity in 2046. The fair value of such protection sold totaled $0.2 million as of December 31, 2012.
Concentrations of credit risk
In addition to off-balance sheet risks related to specific financial instruments, the Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk with particular counterparties. Substantially all securities transactions of the Company are cleared by several major securities firms. The Company had substantially all such individual counterparty concentration with these brokers or their affiliates as of December 31, 2013 . However, the Company reduces its credit risk with counterparties by entering into master netting agreements. Therefore, assets represent the Company’s greater unrealized gains less unrealized losses for derivative contracts in which the Company has master netting agreements. Similarly, liabilities represent the Company’s greater unrealized losses less unrealized gains for derivative contracts in which the Joint Venture has master netting agreements. Furthermore, the Company obtains collateral from counterparties to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on derivative contracts is limited to the net unrealized gains by counterparty inherent in such contracts which are recognised in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company’s maximum counterparty credit risk exposure was $19.0 million ( December 31, 2012 - $17.0 million).

Effective January 1, 2013, the Citibank facility was reduced from $250.0 million to $150.0 million .
As of December 31, 2013 , $ 127.3 million ( December 31, 2012 - $ 60.9 million ) of letters of credit, representing 42.4% ( December 31, 2012 15.3% (based on total available facilities of $400 million )) of the total available facilities, had been drawn upon.

F- 38



Under the facilities, the Company provides collateral that may consist of equity securities, repurchase agreements and cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 , cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of $ 100.6 million ( December 31, 2012 - $ 64.8 million ) were pledged as security against the letters of credit issued. These amounts are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements, A.M. Best Company rating of “A-” or higher, and restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, as defined in the letter of credit facilities, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of December 31, 2013 .
Investments
Loan and other participation interests purchased by the Company, such as bank debt, may include revolving credit arrangements or other financing commitments obligating the Company to advance additional amounts on demand. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had no unfunded capital commitments.
In the normal course of business, the Company, as part of its investment strategy, enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications and warranties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Thus, no amounts have been accrued related to such indemnifications. The Company also indemnifies Third Point Advisors LLC, Third Point LLC and its employees from and against any loss or expense, including, without limitation any judgment, settlement, legal fees and other costs. Any expenses related to this indemnification are reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Litigation
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the Company's reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owing to it.  In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. While the final outcome of legal disputes that may arise cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is not currently involved in any formal or informal dispute resolution procedures.
22.    Segment reporting
The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of its operations. The Company reports two operating segments – Property and Casualty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. The Company has also identified a corporate function that includes the Company’s investment results and certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities.
The following is a summary of the Company’s operating segments results for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 :

Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, 1978 and related regulations, Third Point Re is subject to capital requirements calculated using the Bermuda Solvency and Capital Requirement, or BSCR model, which is a standardized statutory risk-based capital model used to measure the risk associated with Third Point Re’s assets, liabilities and premiums. Third Point Re’s required statutory capital and surplus under the BSCR model is referred to as the enhanced capital requirement, or ECR. Third Point Re is required to calculate and submit the ECR to the Bermuda Monetary Authority, or the BMA, annually. Following receipt of the submission of Third Point Re’s ECR the BMA has the authority to impose additional capital requirements (capital add-ons) if it deems necessary. If a company fails to maintain or meet its ECR, the BMA may take various degrees of regulatory action. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Third Point Re met its ECR.
The principal difference between statutory capital and surplus and shareholders' equity presented in accordance with GAAP is deferred acquisition costs and prepaid expenses, which are non-admitted assets for statutory purposes.
Third Point Re is also required under its Class 4 license to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio whereby the value of its relevant assets is not less than 75% of the amount of its relevant liabilities for general business. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Third Point Re met the minimum liquidity ratio requirement.
Third Point Re may declare dividends subject to it continuing to meet its solvency and capital requirements, which includes continuing to hold statutory capital and surplus equal to or exceeding its ECR. Third Point Re is prohibited from declaring or paying in any fiscal year dividends of more than 25% of its prior year's statutory capital and surplus unless Third Point Re files with the BMA a signed affidavit by at least two members of the Board of Directors attesting that a dividend would not cause the company to fail to meet its relevant margins. As of December 31, 2013, Third Point Re could pay dividends in 2014 of approximately $325.9 million (2012 - $206.1 million ) without providing an affidavit to the BMA.

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1.
Organization
Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011 and, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Third Point Re”), is a provider of global specialty property and casualty reinsurance products. Third Point Re was incorporated in Bermuda and is registered as a Class 4 insurer under the Insurance Act 1978, as amended, and related regulations (the “Act”). Third Point Re commenced reinsurance operations in January 2012.
On June 15, 2012, Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund”), Third Point Reinsurance Investment Management Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund Manager”), and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Reinsurer”) were incorporated in Bermuda. The Company subsequently announced a strategic arrangement with Hiscox Insurance Company (Bermuda) Limited (“Hiscox”) to launch a collateralized catastrophe reinsurance underwriting fund management business. The Catastrophe Fund Manager, a Bermuda exempted company, is the investment manager of the Catastrophe Fund and is 85% owned by Third Point Re and 15% owned by Hiscox. The Catastrophe Fund Manager is responsible for the investment and management of the Catastrophe Fund’s assets. The Catastrophe Fund is an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda and is open to both related party and third party investors. The Catastrophe Fund Manager also acts as manager of the Catastrophe Reinsurer and, in this capacity, is responsible for overseeing the underwriting and investment activities of the Catastrophe Reinsurer. The Catastrophe Reinsurer is a Bermuda exempted company and is licensed as a special purpose insurer under the Act.
On August 2, 2012, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing (UK) Limited (“TPRUK”). On May 20, 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,832,484 common shares at an offering price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million , after deducting offering costs. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPRE”.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.

Significant accounting policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Company:
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, estimates of written and earned premiums and fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or less.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in trust accounts with the Catastrophe Reinsurer, securing collateralized reinsurance contracts written and cash held with brokers securing letters of credit issued under credit facilities.
Premium revenue recognition
To the extent that the amount of written premium is estimable, the Company estimates the ultimate premiums for the entire contract period and records this estimate at the inception of the contract. For contracts where the full written premium is not estimable at inception, the Company records written premium for the portion of the contract period for which the amount is estimable. These estimates are based primarily on information in the underlying contracts as well as information provided by clients and/or brokers.
Premiums written are earned over the exposure period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the remaining term of the underlying policies in force.
Premiums for retroactive reinsurance contracts are earned at the inception of the contract, as all of the underlying loss events covered by these contracts occurred in the past. Any underwriting profit at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract is deferred and recognised over the estimated future payout of the loss and loss adjustment expenses reserves. Any underwriting loss at inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract is recognised immediately.
Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
Reinsurance premiums ceded
From time to time the Company reduces the risk of losses on business written by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the extent that the Company does not hold sufficient security for their unpaid obligations. Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risks incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of reinsurance ceded.
Deferred acquisition costs
Acquisition costs consist of commissions, brokerage and excise taxes that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal reinsurance contracts. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related

6



premiums are earned. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment income is greater than expected future loss and loss adjustment expenses and acquisition costs. If a loss is probable on the unexpired portion of contracts in force, a premium deficiency loss is recognized. As of September 30, 2014 , deferred acquisition costs are considered to be fully recoverable and no premium deficiency has been recorded.
Acquisition costs also include profit commissions that are expensed when incurred. Profit commissions are calculated and accrued based on the expected loss experience for contracts and recorded when the current loss estimate indicates that a profit commission is probable under the contract terms.
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves
The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR reserves”). Case reserves are established for losses that have been reported, but not yet paid, based on loss reports from brokers and ceding companies. IBNR reserves represent the estimated loss and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet reported to the insurer or reinsurer, including unknown future developments on loss and loss adjustment expenses that are known to the insurer or reinsurer. IBNR reserves are established by management based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses.
Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period in which they become known.
Deposit liabilities
Certain contracts do not transfer sufficient insurance risk to be deemed reinsurance contracts and are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Management exercises judgment in determining whether contracts transfer sufficient risk to be accounted for as reinsurance contracts. Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially recorded based upon the consideration received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the deposit liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect actual payments to date and future expected payments.
Fair value measurement
The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with current accounting guidance, which defines fair value and establishes a three level fair value hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or would pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the estimated fair value of each individual security utilizing the highest level inputs available.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Investments
The Company’s investments are classified as “trading securities” and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
The fair value of the Company’s investments are based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications, industry recognized pricing vendors and/or internal pricing

7



valuation techniques. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis with balances pending settlement included in due to/from brokers in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Realized gains and losses are determined using cost calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis including interest and premiums amortized and discounts accreted.
Derivatives
Underwriting
The Catastrophe Reinsurer enters into certain contracts for which the potential loss payments are triggered exclusively by reference to a specified index, such as an industry loss. These contracts are accounted for as derivatives. The Company records the fair value of these contracts in derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Investments
Derivative instruments within our separate account managed by our investment manager, Third Point LLC, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair values and realized gains and losses recognized in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Derivatives serve as a key component of the Company’s investment strategy and are utilized primarily to structure the portfolio, or individual investments, and to economically match the investment objectives of the Company. The Company's derivatives do not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes and are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis and not offset against any collateral pledged or received. Pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") master agreements, securities lending agreements and other derivatives agreements, the Company and its counterparties typically have the ability to net certain payments owed to each other in specified circumstances. In addition, in the event a party to one of the ISDA master agreements, securities lending agreements or other derivatives agreements defaults, or a transaction is otherwise subject to termination, the non-defaulting party generally has the right to set off against payments owed to the defaulting party or collateral held by the non defaulting party.
The Company enters into derivative contracts to manage credit risk, interest rate risk, currency exchange risk, and other exposure risks. The Company uses derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to economically hedge certain risks and to gain exposure to certain investments. The utilization of derivative contracts also allows for an efficient means by which to trade certain asset classes.
Fair values of derivatives are determined by using quoted market prices, industry recognized pricing vendors and broker quotes when available; otherwise fair values are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of underlying financial instruments.
Embedded derivatives
Certain of the Company’s deposit and reinsurance contracts contain interest crediting features that vary based on the net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC. These contractual features are considered embedded derivatives in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with the host contract in order to reflect the expected settlement of these features with the host contract. Prior to 2014, the changes in estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives were recorded in net investment income. As these embedded derivatives have become more prominent, the presentation has been modified and changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivatives are now recorded in other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). In addition, fixed interest crediting features on these contracts that were recorded in net investment income are now classified in other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result, investment expense of $1.2 million and $2.7 million that was previously

8



reported in net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, is now being reported in other expenses to conform to the current year presentation.
Share-based compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation transactions using the fair value of the award at the grant date. Determining the fair value of share purchase options at the grant date requires estimation and judgment. The Company uses an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) to calculate the fair value of share purchase options.
For share purchase options granted that contain both a service and performance condition, the Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the options that are considered probable of being exercised. Share compensation for share purchase options considered probable of being exercised is expensed over the service (vesting) period on a graded vesting basis. The probability of share purchase options being exercised is evaluated at each reporting period.  When the share purchase options are considered probable of being exercised, the Company records a catch up of share compensation expense from the grant date (service inception date for existing options) to the current reporting period end based on the fair value of the options at the grant date.
The Company measures grant date fair value for restricted share awards based on the price of its common shares at the grant date and the expense is recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrant contracts issued to certain of its founding investors ("Founders") in conjunction with the initial capitalization of the Company by using either the physical settlement or net-share settlement methods. The fair value of these warrants was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. The fair value of warrants issued are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company accounts for certain warrant contracts issued to an advisor, where services have been received by the Company, in part, in exchange for equity instruments, based on the fair value of such services. The associated cost of these warrants has been recorded as capital raise costs and is included in additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Offering costs
Offering costs incurred in connection with the IPO, which included underwriters’ fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and other fees were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. The proceeds from the issuance of shares net of offering costs is included in additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Income taxes and uncertain tax positions
Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are not subject to any income or capital gains taxes. In the event that such taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries would be exempted from any such taxes until March 2035 under the Tax Assurance Certificates issued to such entities pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, as amended.

The Company has an operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, TPRUK, which is subject to relevant taxes in that jurisdiction.  On July 17, 2013, the United Kingdom government passed the Finance Act 2013, which reduced the corporate income tax rate from 23% to 21% (effective April 1, 2014) and provided for a further reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 20% (effective April 1, 2015). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $0.003 million and $0.02 million , respectively, for income taxes relating to TPRUK.

The Company is subject to withholding tax obligations related to dividends, capital gains and interest on certain investments. Prior to the second quarter of 2014, these withholding tax obligations were recorded as deductions to net investment income. As these withholding tax obligations have increased, the Company began presenting the relevant amounts in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result, withholding taxes of $1.2 million and $2.2 million have been recorded in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Withholding taxes of $0.3 million and $0.7 million were previously recorded as deductions to net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had recorded a $1.7 million provision for uncertain tax positions related to investment transactions in certain foreign countries. The Company has recognized income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions of $0.3 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively (2013 - nil ).
Non-controlling interests
The Company consolidates the results of entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company records the portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to non-controlling interests as a separate line within shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the portion of income attributable to non-controlling interests as a separate line within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, options and convertible securities such as unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents including any dilutive effects of warrants, options and other awards under share plans and are determined using the treasury stock method. U.S. GAAP requires that unvested share awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (referred to as ‘‘participating securities”), be included in the number of shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The Company treats its unvested restricted shares as participating securities. In the event of a net loss, the participating securities are excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Comprehensive income
The Company has no comprehensive income other than net income disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Segment information
Under U.S. GAAP, operating segments are based on the internal information that management uses for allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. The Company reports two operating segments – Property and

10



Casualty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. The Company has also identified a corporate function that includes net investment income on capital and certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities.
Recently issued accounting standards
Issued and effective as of September 30, 2014
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01). The objective of ASU 2013-01 is to address implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11. ASU 2013-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company adopted ASU 2013-01 effective with its IPO and has included the required disclosures in Note 8 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for periods subsequent to December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies - Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2013-08). The amendments in this update change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach for that assessment, which requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing other typical characteristics. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company and consider its purpose and design to determine whether it is an investment company. ASU 2013-08 is effective prospectively for periods subsequent to December 15, 2013. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company adopted ASU 2013-08 in the first quarter of 2014, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2014

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08). ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations, such that a disposal of a component of the Company's operations is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals that occur after January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect this new pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides a framework, through a five-step process, for recognizing revenue from customers, improves comparability and consistency of recognizing revenue across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, and requires enhanced disclosures. Certain contracts with customers are specifically excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, including amongst others, insurance contracts accounted for under Accounting Standard Codification 944, Financial Services - Insurance . ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2017 with retrospective adoption required for the comparative periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11) . ASU 2014-11 amends

11



the accounting guidance for “repo-to-maturity” transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. In addition, the new standard requires a transferor to disclose more information about certain transactions, including those in which it retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic returns of the underlying transferred asset over the transaction’s term. For repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements accounted for as secured borrowings as of a reporting date, the new standard requires obligors (transferors of collateral) to disaggregate the related gross obligation by class of collateral pledged, and to disclose the remaining contractual maturity of the agreements, and to discuss the potential risks of these arrangements and related collateral pledged, including the risks stemming from a decline in the value of the pledged collateral and how such risks are managed. Additionally, as a result of the new accounting guidance, repo-to-maturity transactions will be reported as secured borrowings. Transferors will also no longer apply the current “linked” accounting model to repurchase agreements executed contemporaneously with the initial transfer of the underlying financial asset with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 is effective prospectively for periods subsequent to December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the entity will be required to disclose information that enables the users of the financial statements to understand the principal conditions or events, management's evaluation of the significance of those events or conditions and management's plans that alleviate substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-1 becomes effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reinsurance premiums ceded
From time to time, the Company purchases retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to manage its overall exposure, to reduce its net liability on individual risks, to obtain additional underwriting capacity and to balance its underwriting portfolio. Additionally, retrocession can be used as a mechanism to share the risks and rewards of business written and therefore can be used as a tool to align the Company’s interests with those of its counterparties. The Company currently has coverage that provides for recovery of a portion of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred on one crop contract written in 2013 and one new contract entered into in the third quarter of 2014. Premiums ceded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $ 0.2 million , compared to $ nil and $10.0 million for three and nine month ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable from the retrocessionaire are recorded as assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and reported on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) are net of loss and loss expenses recovered of $ nil and $1.0 million , respectively, compared to $ 2.1 million and $6.3 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to the insureds. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable of $ 1.4 million ( December 31, 2013 - $ 9.3 million ) with one retrocessionaire who was rated “A (Excellent)” by A.M. Best Company.

The Company’s Investment Manager has a formal valuation policy that sets forth the pricing methodology for investments to be used in determining the fair value of each security in the Company’s portfolio. The valuation policy is updated and approved annually by Third Point LLC’s valuation committee (the “Committee”), which is comprised of officers and employees who are senior business management personnel of Third Point LLC. The Committee meets monthly. The Committee’s role is to review and verify the propriety and consistency of the valuation methodology to determine the fair value of investments. The Committee also reviews any due diligence performed and approves any changes to current or potential external pricing vendors.
Investments are carried at fair value. The fair values of investments are estimated using prices obtained from either third-party pricing services or broker quotes. The methodology for valuation is generally determined based on the investment's asset class per the Company's Investment Manager's valuation policy. For investments that the Company is unable to obtain fair values from a pricing service or broker, fair values are estimated using information obtained from the Company’s Investment Manager.
Securities and commodities listed on a national securities or commodities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ are valued at their last sales price as of the last business day of the period. Listed securities with no reported sales on such date

13



and over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities are valued at their last closing bid price if held long by the Company, and last closing ask price if held short by the Company. As of September 30, 2014 , securities valued at $445.4 million ( December 31, 2013 - $483.2 million ), representing 25.4% ( December 31, 2013 33.1% ) of investments in securities and commodities and derivative assets, and $1.5 million ( December 31, 2013 - $41.0 million ), representing 2.6% ( December 31, 2013 73.1% ) of securities sold, not yet purchased, and derivative liabilities are valued based on broker quotes or other quoted market prices for similar securities.
Private securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period, as determined by the Company's Investment Manager. Valuation techniques used by the Company's Investment Manager may include market approach, last transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the significant inputs could include but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue multiples or price-earnings ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, the Company or the Company’s Investment Manager may employ third party valuation firms to conduct separate valuations of such private securities. The third party valuation firms provide the Company or the Company’s Investment Manager with a written report documenting their recommended valuation as of the determination date for the specified investments.
As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had $2.8 million ( December 31, 2013 - $3.3 million ) of private securities fair valued by a third party valuation firm using information obtained from the Company's Investment Manager, which represented less than 1.0% (December 31, 2013 - 1.0% ) of total investments in securities and commodities and derivative assets. The value at which these securities could be sold or settled with a willing buyer or seller may differ materially from the Company’s estimated fair values depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, current and future economic conditions, the quantity sold or settled, the presence of an active market and the availability of a willing buyer or seller.
The Company’s free standing derivatives are recorded at fair value, and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in derivative assets and derivative liabilities. The Company values exchange-traded derivatives at their last sales price on the exchange where it is primarily traded. OTC derivatives, which include swap, option, swaption, forward, future and contract for differences, are valued by third party sources when available; otherwise, fair values are obtained from broker quotes that are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments.
As an extension of its underwriting activities, the Catastrophe Reinsurer may sell derivative instruments that provide reinsurance-like protection to third parties for specific loss events associated with certain lines of business.  These derivatives are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these derivatives recorded in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). These contracts are valued on the basis of models developed by the Company, which approximates fair value.
In the second quarter of 2014, the Catastrophe Reinsurer purchased a catastrophe bond. This catastrophe bond is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). This catastrophe bond is valued using the average of the bids from a minimum of two broker-dealers or other market makers.
The Company also has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative reported in net investment income. The Company's embedded derivatives relate to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts that vary based on the returns on our investments managed by Third Point LLC. The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives using models developed by the Company, which approximates fair value. See discussion of accounting policy for embedded derivatives in Note 2 for additional information.
The Company’s holdings in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are substantially invested in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). The balance of the Company's holdings in ABS is in commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and student loan asset-backed securities. These investments are valued using broker quotes or a recognized third-party pricing vendor. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. As an investor in these classes of ABS, the Company may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not

14



being able to make timely payments on loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, the Company may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.
The Company values its investments in limited partnerships at fair value, which are estimated based on the Company's share of the net asset value ("NAV") of the limited partnerships as provided by the investment managers of the underlying investment funds. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company performs several processes to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation of all of the Company’s investments comprising the Company’s investment portfolio, including securities that are categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy described below. These processes include i) obtaining and reviewing weekly and monthly investment portfolio reports from the Company's Investment Manager, ii) obtaining and reviewing monthly NAV and investment return reports received directly from the Company’s third-party fund administrator which are compared to the reports noted in (i), and iii) monthly update discussions with the Company’s Investment Manager regarding the investment portfolio, including, their process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from third-party service providers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 , there were no changes in the valuation techniques as it relates to the above.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the closing rates of exchange. Transactions during the period are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. The Company does not isolate that portion of the net investment income resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments, dividends and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of securities and derivatives held. Periodic payments received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Such fluctuations are included within net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs unobservable for the investment and include activities where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The key inputs for corporate, government and sovereign bond valuation are coupon frequency, coupon rate and underlying bond spread. The key inputs for asset-backed securities are yield, probability of default, loss severity and prepayment.

15



Key inputs for over-the-counter (“OTC”) valuations vary based on the type of underlying security on which the contract was written:
The key inputs for most OTC option contracts include notional, strike price, maturity, payout structure, current foreign exchange forward and spot rates, current market price of underlying and volatility of underlying.
The key inputs for most forward contracts include notional, maturity, forward rate, spot rate, various interest rate curves and discount factor.
The key inputs for swap valuation will vary based on the type of underlying on which the contract was written. Generally, the key inputs for most swap contracts include notional, swap period, fixed rate, credit or interest rate curves, current market or spot price of the underlying and the volatility of the underlying.

(1) Total net change in realized and unrealized gain (loss) recorded on Level 3 financial instruments are included in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Total unrealized loss related to fair value assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.4 million (2013 - gains of $1.8 million ).
For assets and liabilities that were transferred into Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred into Level 3 at the beginning of the period; similarly, for assets and liabilities that were transferred out of Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred out of Level 3 at the beginning of the period. The Company did not hold Level 3 investments where quantitative unobservable inputs are produced by the Company itself when estimating fair value.

6. Securities purchased under an agreement to sell
The Company may enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with financial institutions in which the financial institution agrees to resell or repurchase and the Company agrees to repurchase or resell such securities at a mutually agreed price upon maturity. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company held outstanding reverse repurchase agreements valued at $19.9 million ( December 31, 2013 - $38.1 million ). As of September 30, 2014 , the total value of securities received as collateral by the Company was $19.4 million ( December 31, 2013 - $37.6 million ). As the Company held only reverse repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2014 , these positions are not impacted by master netting agreements. Interest expense and income related to these transactions are included in interest payable and receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 , there was a foreign currency loss of $2.4 million ( 2013 – gain of $1.2 million ) on reverse repurchase agreements included in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , there was a foreign currency loss of $2.6 million ( 2013 - gain of $1.3 million ) on reverse repurchase agreements included in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Generally, reverse repurchase agreements mature within 30 to 90 days .
7. Due from/to brokers
The Company holds substantially all of its investments through its prime brokers pursuant to various agreements between the Company and each prime broker. The brokerage arrangements differ from broker to broker, but generally cash and investments in securities and commodities balances are available as collateral against investment in securities sold, not yet purchased and derivative positions, if required.
Margin debt balances are collateralized by cash held by the prime brokers and certain of the Company’s securities. Margin interest was paid either at the daily broker call rate or based on LIBOR.
Due from/to brokers include cash balances maintained with the Company’s prime brokers, receivables and payables from unsettled trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet purchased. In addition, due from and to brokers includes cash collateral received and posted from OTC and repurchase agreement counterparties. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company’s due from/to brokers includes a total non-U.S. currency payable balance of $ 14.4 million ( December 31, 2013 - $268.5 million ).

The $1.5 million increase in prior years' reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects $0.9 million of net adverse reserve development and $0.6 million of additional reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses resulting from premium increases on certain contracts. The changes in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to premium estimate changes were accompanied by similar changes in the premium earned for those contracts, resulting in minimal impact to net underwriting income in both periods. The $3.6 million decrease in prior years' reserves recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related primarily to one crop contract, which was accompanied by an equal decrease in the premium written and earned for that contract, resulting in a minimal impact to underwriting income.
10. Management, performance and Founders fees
The Company and Third Point Re are party to a Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Third Point LLC and Third Point Advisors LLC under which Third Point LLC manages certain jointly held assets.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Third Point Advisors LLC receives an annual performance fee allocation equal to 20% of the net investment income of the Company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, subject to a loss carry-forward provision. Additionally, a total management fee equal to 2% annually of the Company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC is paid to Third Point LLC and certain of the Founders. Management fees are paid monthly, in arrears, whereas performance fees are paid annually, in arrears.

As of December 31, 2013, $63.0 million related to the performance fee payable to Third Point Advisors LLC was included in non-controlling interests. Since the performance fee allocation is based on annual performance, in accordance with the Investment Agreement, the performance fees are included in total liabilities until the performance fee is determined at year end and allocated to Third Point Advisors LLC's capital account.
11.    Deposit contracts
Deposit liability contracts each contain a fixed interest crediting rate, which ranges from 2.5% to 3.0% . Certain deposit contracts also contain a variable interest crediting feature based on actual investment returns realized by the Company that can increase the overall effective interest crediting rate on those contracts to 6.1% to 6.5% . These variable interest crediting features are considered embedded derivatives. We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives with the host deposit liability contracts. Changes in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

15.    Share capital
Authorized and issued
The Company's authorized share capital of $33.0 million is comprised of 300,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.10 each and 30,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.10 each. As of September 30, 2014 , 104,031,456 common shares (December 31, 2013 - 103,888,916 ) were issued and outstanding. No preference shares have been issued to date.

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an IPO of 24,832,484 common shares at a purchase price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million , after deducting offering costs.
Warrants
The Company’s Founders and an advisor provided insurance industry expertise, resources and relationships to ensure that the Company would be fully operational with key management in place in time for the January 2012 underwriting season. In consideration of these commitments, the Company reserved for issuance to the Founders and an advisor warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 4.0% (Founders 3.5% and an advisor 0.5% ) of the diluted shares (up to a

30



maximum of $1 billion of subscribed shares) provided that the Founders and the advisor will not be issued any warrants for common shares issued in consideration for any capital raised by the Company in excess of $1 billion . The following is a summary of warrants as of September 30, 2014 :

The warrants were subject to a performance condition that was met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 3,648,006 of the warrants outstanding had met the performance condition. After the IPO, the remaining 1,003,157 warrants met the performance condition. These amounts have been recorded as a component of capital raise costs in additional paid in capital resulting in no net impact to total shareholders’ equity.
The warrants expire 10 years from the date of issuance, December 22, 2011, and will be exercisable at a price per share of $10.00 , which is equal to the price per share paid by investors in the initial capitalization of the Company.
16.    Share-based compensation
On July 15, 2013, the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently on August 2, 2013 by the shareholders of the Company. An aggregate of 21,627,906 common shares were made available under the Omnibus Plan. This number of shares includes the shares available under the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. Share Incentive Plan ("Share Incentive Plan"). Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made in the form of performance awards, restricted shares, restricted share units, share options, share appreciation rights and other share-based awards.
As of September 30, 2014 , 10,215,455 (December 31, 2013 - 10,613,975 ) of the Company's common shares were available for future issuance under the equity incentive compensation plans.
Share based compensation expense of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 ( 2013 - $4.1 million ) was included in general and administrative expenses. Share based compensation expense of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 ( 2013 - $7.6 million ) was included in general and administrative expenses.
As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had $18.8 million (December 31, 2013 - $23.8 million ) of unamortized share compensation expense that is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years (December 31, 2013 - 2.0 years).
(a)
Management and director options
The share options issued to management under the Share Incentive Plan prior to the IPO are subject to a service condition and a performance condition. The service condition will be met with respect to 20% of the management options on each of the first five anniversary dates following the grant date of the management options. The performance condition with respect to the management options was met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 8,572,594 of the management options outstanding had met the performance condition. After the IPO, the remaining 2,357,633 management options had met the performance condition.
The director options contain only a service condition that will be met with respect to 20% of the director options on each of the five anniversary dates following the grant date of the director options. On November 6, 2013, the director options were modified so that a total of 60% of the outstanding options vested on that date and the remaining 40% of the director options were forfeited. These forfeited options were replaced with restricted share awards.

The volatility assumption used was 23.1% (2013 - 22.0% ). The other assumptions used in the option-pricing model were as follows: risk free interest rate of 2.2% (2013 - 1.2% ), expected life of 6.5 years (2013 - 6.5 years ) and a 0.0% dividend yield (2013 - 0.0% ). As of September 30, 2014 , the weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding was 7.4 years (2013 - 6.5 years ).

19.    Related party transactions
In addition to the transactions disclosed in Notes 5, 10 and 17 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the following transactions are classified as related party transactions, as each counterparty has either a direct or indirect shareholding in the Company or the Company has an investment with such counterparty.
a)
Pine Brook Road Partners, LLC and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company
Third Point Re entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“Narragansett Bay”) effective December 31, 2012, which was renewed on December 31, 2013. The Company recorded $5.3 million (2013 - $4.6 million) of net premiums earned related to these contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Pine Brook Road Partners, LLC ("Pine Brook") is the manager of various investment funds, one of which owns approximately 12.0% (December 31, 2013 - 12.0% ) of the Company's outstanding common shares.  Pine Brook is also the manager of an investment fund that owns common shares in Narragansett Bay.


36



b)
Third Point Loan L.L.C.
Third Point Loan L.L.C. (“Loan LLC”) serves as nominee of Third Point Re and other affiliated investment management clients of the Investment Manager for certain investments. Loan LLC has appointed the Investment Manager as its true and lawful agent and attorney. As of September 30, 2014 , Loan LLC held $55.2 million ( December 31, 2013 - $147.2 million) of Third Point Re’s investments, which are included in investments in securities and commodities and in derivative contracts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Third Point Re’s pro rata interest in the underlying investments registered in the name of Loan LLC and the related income and expense are reflected accordingly in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

20.    Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk or concentrations of credit risk
Off-balance sheet risk
In the normal course of business, the Company trades various financial instruments and engages in various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include securities sold, not yet purchased, forwards, futures, options, swaptions, swaps and contracts for differences. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates. Each of these financial instruments contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments or fluctuations in interest rates and index values may exceed the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Securities sold, not yet purchased are recorded as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and have market risk to the extent that the Company, in satisfying its obligations, may be required to purchase securities at a higher value than that recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments in securities and commodities and amounts due from brokers are partially restricted until the Company satisfies the obligation to deliver securities sold, not yet purchased.
Forward and futures contracts are a commitment to purchase or sell financial instruments, currencies or commodities at a future date at a negotiated rate. Forward and futures contracts expose the Company to market risks to the extent that adverse changes occur to the underlying financial instruments such as currency rates or equity index fluctuations.
Option contracts give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from or sell to the option writer financial instruments, commodities or currencies within a defined time period for a specified price. The premium received by the Company upon writing an option contract is recorded as a liability, marked to market on a daily basis and is included in securities sold, not yet purchased in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In writing an option, the Company bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the financial instrument underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Company could result in the Company selling or buying a financial instrument at a price different from the current fair value.
In the normal course of trading activities in its investment portfolio, the Company trades and holds certain derivative contracts, such as written options, which constitute guarantees. The maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the related strike prices and the maximum payout for written call options is dependent upon the market price of the underlying security at the date of a payout event. As of September 30, 2014, the investment portfolio had a maximum payout amount of approximately $875.6 million (December 31, 2013 - $689.5 million ) relating to written put option contracts with expiration ranging from one month to 10 months from the balance sheet date. The maximum payout amount could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the settlement of a payout event. The fair value of these written put options as of September 30, 2014 is $8.0 million (December 31, 2013 - $2.6 million ) and is included in securities sold, not yet purchased in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Swaption contracts give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a specified interest-rate swap within a specified period of time. The Company’s market and counterparty credit risk is limited to the premium paid to enter into the swaption contract and net unrealized gains.

37



Total return swaps, contracts for differences, index swaps, and interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of cash flows between the Company and counterparties are based on the change in the fair value of a particular equity, index, or interest rate on a specified notional holding. The use of these contracts exposes the Company to market risks equivalent to actually holding securities of the notional value but typically involve little capital commitment relative to the exposure achieved. The gains or losses of the Company may therefore be magnified on the capital commitment.
Credit derivatives
Credit default swaps protect the buyer against the loss of principal on one or more underlying bonds, loans, or mortgages in the event the issuer suffers a credit event. Typical credit events include failure to pay or restructuring of obligations, bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the underlying issuer. The buyer of the protection pays an initial and/or a periodic premium to the seller and receives protection for the period of the contract. If there is not a credit event, as defined in the contract, the buyer receives no payments from the seller. If there is a credit event, the buyer receives a payment from the seller of protection as calculated by the contract between the two parties.
The Company may also enter into index and/or basket credit default swaps where the credit derivative may reference a basket of single-name credit default swaps or a broad-based index. Generally, in the event of a default on one of the underlying names, the buyer will receive a pro-rata portion of the total notional amount of the credit default index or basket contract from the seller. When the Company purchases single-name, index and basket credit default swaps, the Company is exposed to counterparty nonperformance.
Upon selling credit default swap protection, the Company may expose itself to the risk of loss from related credit events specified in the contract. Credit spreads of the underlying together with the period of expiration is indicative of the likelihood of a credit event under the credit default swap contract and the Company’s risk of loss. Higher credit spreads and shorter expiration dates are indicative of a higher likelihood of a credit event resulting in the Company’s payment to the buyer of protection. Lower credit spreads and longer expiration dates would indicate the opposite and lowers the likelihood the Company needs to pay the buyer of protection. As of September 30, 2014 , there was no cash collateral received specifically related to written credit default swaps as collateral is based on the net exposure associated with all derivative instruments subject to applicable netting agreements with counterparties and may not be specific to any individual derivative contract.
The following table sets forth certain information related to the Company’s written credit derivatives as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not hold any offsetting buy protection credit derivatives with the same underlying reference obligation.
(2)
Fair value amounts of derivative contracts are shown on a gross basis prior to cash collateral or counterparty netting.
Concentrations of credit risk
In addition to off-balance sheet risks related to specific financial instruments, the Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk with particular counterparties. Substantially all securities transactions of the Company are cleared by several major securities firms. The Company had substantially all such individual counterparty concentration with these brokers or their affiliates as of September 30, 2014 . However, the Company reduces its credit risk with counterparties by entering into master netting agreements. Therefore, assets represent the Company’s greater unrealized gains less unrealized losses for derivative contracts in which the Company has master netting agreements. Similarly, liabilities represent the Company’s greater unrealized losses less unrealized gains for derivative contracts in which the joint venture created through the Investment Agreement (Note 10) has master netting agreements. Furthermore, the Company obtains collateral from counterparties to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on derivative contracts is limited to the net unrealized gains by counterparty inherent in such contracts which are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company’s maximum counterparty credit risk exposure was $25.3 million ( December 31, 2013 - $19.0 million).

21.    Commitments and Contingencies

39



As of September 30, 2014 , $ 160.1 million ( December 31, 2013 - $ 127.3 million ) of letters of credit, representing 40.0% ( December 31, 2013 42.4% ) of the total available facilities, had been drawn upon.
Under the facilities, the Company provides collateral that may consist of equity securities, repurchase agreements and cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2014 , cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of $ 160.6 million ( December 31, 2013 - $ 100.6 million ) were pledged as security against the letters of credit issued. These amounts are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements, A.M. Best Company rating of “A-” or higher, and restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, as defined in the letter of credit facilities, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of September 30, 2014 .
Investments
Loan and other participation interests purchased by the Company, such as bank debt, may include revolving credit arrangements or other financing commitments obligating the Company to advance additional amounts on demand. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had one unfunded capital commitment of $5.5 million related to its investment in the Hellenic Fund (see Note 17 for additional information).
In the normal course of business, the Company, as part of its investment strategy, enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications and warranties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Thus, no amounts have been accrued related to such indemnifications. The Company also indemnifies Third Point Advisors LLC, Third Point LLC and its employees from and against any loss or expense, including, without limitation any judgment, settlement, legal fees and other costs. Any expenses related to this indemnification are reflected in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Litigation
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the Company's reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owing to it.  In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. While the final outcome of legal disputes that may arise cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is not currently involved in any formal or informal dispute resolution procedures.
22.    Segment reporting
The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the performance of its operations. The Company reports two operating segments - Property and Casualty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. The Company has also identified a corporate function that includes net investment income on capital and certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities.
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company modified the presentation of its operating segments to allocate net investment income from float to the property and casualty reinsurance segment. The property and casualty reinsurance operations generate excess cash flows, or float, which the Company tracks in managing the business. The Company considers net investment income on float in evaluating the overall contribution of the property and casualty reinsurance segment. Prior period segment results have been adjusted to conform to this presentation.
