Junior R Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 it will be interesting if MW joins and asks a question lol
Gamecock-YT Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 CFO really leaning on their auditors to carry a lot of these answers

gfp Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Q&A now Odyssey re quota share non-renewal question - $340m unearned premium returned to client - residential property quota share (was 2 year deal, didn't see the profits there). Odyssey non-renewed it and returned the unearned premium. Brit pullback on D&O, Cyber and Cat risk question where do you see best opportunities, where do you see other areas where you want to be cautious Pricing on reinsurance, mostly still seeing double digit price increases on the property side. Insurance - mid-single digit price increases. D&O and cyber price growth slowing and actually reducing

gfp Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Disclosure regarding associates that have been on the balance sheet since Jan. 1 2020. Cash in / cash out / profits booked / contingent liabilities question. Will you be disclosing these transactions? Jen Allen taking the question. "disclosed under IFRS in our annual report" Block, "Rather than going for the bare minimum that IFRS requires, why not go for enhanced disclosure. Why leave it there?" Next question please

Parsad Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 I'm not sure the fireworks are going to happen...they kind of fizzled from MW's perspective. Cheers!
gfp Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Interest & Dividend income "locked" at approx. $2 Billion annually for approx. 4 years. If soft landing, we can renew at these rates. If hard landing, interest rates can go down, but the spread on corporate bonds can increase. Atlas forecast - $300 million going to $600 million by 2025 and Fairfax still sees that forecast as appropriate.

Parsad Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Stock is up $4.40 so far in Toronto. Cheers!
gfp Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Long history of reserve redundancies. Question was about reserve releases. Over time our reserve releases could well be significant. 4th quarter gets more "full" reviews for reserve releases / adjustments. 2016 and 2018 years at Allied and Crum & Forstner have had some unfavorable development similar to the industry experience at large. That effect is overwhelmed by positive adjustments elsewhere and for other years.

Gregmal Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 I love when they mouth off and short first and then ask questions later…ultimately ending up begging for better disclosure because they didn’t do the appropriate work in the first place and got it wrong. 1
