LANCASHIRE HOLDINGS LIMITED

30 April 2026

Hamilton, Bermuda

Lancashire Holdings Limited (“Lancashire” or “the Group”) today announces its
trading statement for the three months ended 31 March 2026.

Trading statement highlights

·         Gross premiums written of $668.4 million. Excluding prior year
reinstatement premiums, top-line was stable with a Group Renewal Price Index
(RPI) of 93%.

·          Insurance revenue increased by 2.1% year-on-year to $468.6 million.

·          Benign loss environment with limited exposure to Middle East
conflict.

·          Total investment return of 0.3%, including unrealised gains and
losses.

·          Regulatory ECR ratio of 254% as at 31 December 2025.

Alex Maloney, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Lancashire has had a positive start to 2026, holding fast to our core principle
of active cycle management.

With the strong first quarter, we are on track to deliver results in line with
our guidance for the year.

As part of our proactive approach to managing the cycle, we enacted a planned
reduction in inwards property retrocession in our reinsurance segment. This was
offset by a 12% increase in gross premiums written across our insurance lines to
$257.4 million, where we saw attractive opportunities for growth. Insurance
revenue increased by just over 2% to $468.6 million, reflecting earnings from
the growth delivered over the past few years.

As we move through 2026, we will continue to maximise opportunities where it
makes sense, and we have the teams and talent across our Group to do this. The
work we have done over recent years to grow our product portfolio and increase
our geographic reach puts us in a strong position to continue to generate
attractive risk-adjusted underwriting returns through the cycle.

Clearly, the period has seen very significant geopolitical volatility leading to
wider economic uncertainty. Lancashire’s exposure to the current events in the
Middle East is limited and well within our risk appetite.

The Group’s investment portfolio, including unrealised gains and losses,
returned 0.3% over the period.

Since acquiring 100% of the underwriting capacity for Syndicate 2010, with
effect from the 2026 year of account,  we have been assessing the increased
optionality that full alignment offers us. Subject to approval by Lloyd’s, we
will combine Lancashire Syndicates 3010 and 2010, under Syndicate 3010, for the
2027 and subsequent years of account.

During the quarter, we also saw planned senior management transitions in our
Lloyd’s and Bermuda platforms, with Rachel Sabbarton and Jennifer Wilson,
respectively succeeding John Spence and Hayley Johnston as CEOs. Our thanks go
to John and Hayley for their valued contributions to Lancashire’s success over
many years.

For more than two decades, Lancashire has flexibly managed the (re)insurance
cycle with a focus on disciplined risk selection, strong capital management, and
adding value in our relationships with clients and brokers. We remain fully
focused on keeping our momentum as we drive the business further forward, and we
maintain our expectation of a stable top-line, and a high teens RoE for 2026.”

Business update

Gross premiums written and insurance revenue

Three months ended
31 March 2026 31 March 2025 Change Change RPI
$m $m $m % %
Reinsurance 411.0 482.3 (71.3) (14.8%) 92%
Insurance 257.4 229.8 27.6 12.0% 94%
Gross premiums written 668.4 712.1 (43.7) (6.1%) 93%

Reinsurance 218.4 220.3 (1.9) (0.9%)
Insurance 250.2 238.6 11.6 4.9%
Insurance revenue 468.6 458.9 9.7 2.1%

Gross premiums written

Gross premiums written decreased by $43.7 million, or 6.1%, in the first three
months of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Excluding the impact of
reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires, the underlying
reduction in gross premiums written was just 1.2%. In the reinsurance segment we
executed a planned reduction in inwards property retrocession. In the insurance
segment growth was primarily driven by energy and marine lines, and the
continued build-out of the Lancashire US franchise. The overall RPI for the
Group was 93%.

Insurance revenue

Insurance revenue increased by $9.7 million, or 2.1%, in the first three months
of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Gross premiums earned, the key
driver of insurance revenue, as a percentage of gross premiums written, was
79.9% for the first three months of 2026, which is consistent with the ratio for
the equivalent period in 2025. Insurance revenue continues to increase,
reflecting premium earnings from prior underwriting years where the business saw
substantial growth.

Loss environment

The loss environment during the first quarter of 2026 was relatively benign and
the Group’s exposure to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is limited and
within our risk appetite.

Investments

As at 31 March 2026 31 March 2025
Duration 2.2 years 2.0 years
Credit quality A+ A+
Book yield 4.6% 4.8%
Market yield 4.6% 4.8%
Managed investments ($m) $3,218.8 $3,098.3

The Group’s investment portfolio, including unrealised gains and losses,
delivered a 0.3% return over the first three months of 2026. Performance was
primarily driven by investment income, offset by price declines resulting from
rising Treasury rates and modest widening of investment-grade credit spreads.
Private investment funds contributed positively to overall portfolio performance
during the quarter.

NOTE REGARDING RPI METHODOLOGY:

THE RENEWAL PRICE INDEX (“RPI”) IS AN INTERNAL METHODOLOGY THAT MANAGEMENT USES
TO TRACK TRENDS IN PREMIUM RATES OF A PORTFOLIO OF INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE
CONTRACTS. THE RPI WRITTEN IN THE RESPECTIVE SEGMENTS IS CALCULATED ON A PER
CONTRACT BASIS AND REFLECTS MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF RELATIVE CHANGES IN
PRICE, TERMS, CONDITIONS AND LIMITS AND IS WEIGHTED BY PREMIUM VOLUME. THE RPI
DOES NOT INCLUDE NEW BUSINESS, TO OFFER A CONSISTENT BASIS FOR ANALYSIS. THE
CALCULATION INVOLVES A DEGREE OF JUDGEMENT IN RELATION TO COMPARABILITY OF
CONTRACTS AND THE ASSESSMENT NOTED ABOVE. TO ENHANCE THE RPI METHODOLOGY,
MANAGEMENT MAY REVISE THE METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE RPI, SO THE
TRENDS IN PREMIUM RATES REFLECTED IN THE RPI MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE OVER TIME.
CONSIDERATION IS ONLY GIVEN TO RENEWALS OF A COMPARABLE NATURE SO IT DOES NOT
REFLECT EVERY CONTRACT IN THE PORTFOLIO OF CONTRACTS. THE FUTURE PROFITABILITY
OF THE PORTFOLIO OF CONTRACTS WITHIN THE RPI IS DEPENDENT UPON MANY FACTORS
BESIDES THE TRENDS IN PREMIUM RATES.

THE GROUP USES ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO HELP EXPLAIN BUSINESS
PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION. THESE MEASURES HAVE BEEN CALCULATED
