Operating combined ratio for Q4 was 91.5%, compared to 87.8% from the prior year quarter.
Charles Brindamour, Chief Executive Officer, commented on the firms Q4 results: “The resilience of our platform was again evident in 2022 with a mid-teens ROE despite elevated catastrophe losses and inflation pressures. At the same time, we made significant progress on the RSA integration, which contributed 16% to net operating income per share for the full year and drove 23% growth in premiums.
“With the business operating at a low 90s combined ratio, positive top line momentum across all segments and a strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to deliver on our financial and strategic objectives in the year ahead. We are therefore pleased to increase dividends to common shareholders for the eighteenth consecutive year.”
