White Mountains Reports Third Quarter Results

November 6, 2025 at 8:00 AM EST

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported book value per share of $1,851 as of September 30, 2025, an increase of 3% for the third quarter of 2025 and 6% for the first nine months of 2025, including dividends.

On October 2, 2025, White Mountains entered into an agreement to sell approximately 77% of its equity interest in Bamboo for cash to CVC Capital Partners and will retain the remainder.  Including the expected fourth quarter impact from the closing of the transaction of approximately $325 per share, White Mountains's book value per share would be $2,176 as of September 30, 2025.  Bamboo's assets and liabilities have been presented as held for sale in White Mountains's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 

Manning Rountree, CEO, commented, "BVPS was up 3% in the quarter.  We had good operating results and investment returns.  Ark produced a 76% combined ratio and $366 million of gross written premiums in the quarter.  HG Global generated $16 million of gross written premiums in the quarter and grew book value by 3%.  Kudu produced a 9% return on equity on a trailing 12 months basis, growing both the fair value of its portfolio of participation contracts and EBITDA.  Bamboo had another record quarter with continued strong growth in managed premiums and adjusted EBITDA.  Our consolidated investment portfolio, excluding MediaAlpha, was up 2.0% with gains in both fixed income and equities.  During the quarter, we closed our previously announced deployments at BroadStreet Partners and Distinguished Programs." 

Rountree continued, "In early October, we announced the sale of a control stake in Bamboo.  Upon closing, the transaction will increase our book value per share by $325 and our undeployed capital position from roughly $0.3 billion to $1.1 billion." 

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $114 million and $272 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $180 million and $361 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  Results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 included $8 million and $2 million of unrealized investment gains from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha compared to $88 million and $160 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024. 

 Ark/WM Outrigger  

The Ark/WM Outrigger segment's combined ratio was 73% and 83% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to 77% and 84% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  Ark/WM Outrigger reported gross written premiums of $366 million and $2,289 million, net written premiums of $287 million and $1,593 million and net earned premiums of $542 million and $1,264 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to gross written premiums of $374 million and $1,943 million, net written premiums of $339 million and $1,440 million and net earned premiums of $552 million and $1,173 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.

Ark reported gross written premiums of $366 million and $2,289 million, net written premiums of $283 million and $1,510 million and net earned premiums of $499 million and $1,202 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to gross written premiums of $374 million and $1,943 million, net written premiums of $331 million and $1,358 million and net earned premiums of $507 million and $1,111 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  Premium growth in the first nine months of 2025 was driven primarily by the property and specialty lines of business.

Ark reported pre-tax income of $97 million and $240 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $119 million and $202 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  Ark's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains of $18 million and $99 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $53 million and $84 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.

Ian Beaton, CEO of Ark, said, "We have enjoyed good results for the first three quarters of 2025.  Ark's combined ratio was 76% for the third quarter and 84% year-to-date, both better than prior year.  Gross written premiums were $2.3 billion year-to-date, up 18%, aided by the addition of new underwriting teams and classes of business." 

WM Outrigger Re's combined ratio was 38% and 63% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to 58% and 50% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2025 included $19 million of losses related to the California wildfires (net of reinstatement premiums).  WM Outrigger Re reported gross written premiums of $4 million and $84 million and net earned premiums of $44 million and $63 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to gross written premiums of $9 million and $82 million and net earned premiums of $45 million and $63 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.

WM Outrigger Re reported pre-tax income of $29 million in the third quarter of 2025, all of which was attributable to the 2025 underwriting year.  WM Outrigger Re reported pre-tax income of $22 million in the third quarter of 2024, all of which was attributable to the 2024 underwriting year.  WM Outrigger Re reported pre-tax income of $30 million in the first nine months of 2025.  Results in the first nine months of 2025 included pre-tax income (loss) of $40 million for the 2025 underwriting year and $(10) million for the 2024 underwriting year.  WM Outrigger Re reported pre-tax income of $40 million in the first nine months of 2024.  Results in the first nine months of 2024 included pre-tax income of $36 million for the 2024 underwriting year and $4 million for the 2023 underwriting year.

Through September 30, 2025, WM Outrigger Re has generated pre-tax income of $40 million from the 2025 underwriting year, $28 million from the 2024 underwriting year and $76 million from the 2023 underwriting year. 

 HG Global  

HG Global reported gross written premiums of $16 million and $42 million and earned premiums of $8 million and $23 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to gross written premiums of $14 million and $35 million and earned premiums of $8 million and $22 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  HG Global's total par value of policies assumed was $850 million and $2,208 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $688 million and $2,012 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  HG Global's total gross pricing was 187 and 189 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to 203 and 171 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.

HG Global reported pre-tax income (loss) of $22 million and $64 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $(63) million and $(46) million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024.  HG Global's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains of $7 million and $20 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $23 million and $13 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, driven by a decrease in interest rates.  HG Global's results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 also included the loss on deconsolidation of $115 million, partially offset by an increase in fair value of the BAM surplus notes of $16 million during the quarter.  The fair value of the BAM surplus notes was $396 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to $397 million as of June 30, 2025.  The decline was driven by $8 million of principal and interest payments, largely offset by approximately $8 million of accrued interest.

Kevin Pearson, President of HG Global, said, "HG Global had a good quarter, growing book value by 3%.  Par value assumed increased 24% year-over-year, driven by increased activity in both the primary and secondary markets.  Pricing was down marginally quarter-over-quarter but was more than offset by higher volumes."

Kudu reported total revenues of $54 million, pre-tax income of $44 million and adjusted EBITDA of $15 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to total revenues of $47 million, pre-tax income of $38 million and adjusted EBITDA of $14 million in the third quarter of 2024.  Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA included $18 million of net investment income in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $17 million in the third quarter of 2024.  Total revenues and pre-tax income also included $36 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $30 million in the third quarter of 2024.  On a trailing 12 months basis, return on equity was 9% as of September 30, 2025, up from 8% as of June 30, 2025 due to higher net realized and unrealized investment gains.

Kudu reported total revenues of $139 million, pre-tax income of $108 million and adjusted EBITDA of $47 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to total revenues of $128 million, pre-tax income of $101 million and adjusted EBITDA of $41 million in the first nine months of 2024.  Total revenues, pre-tax income and adjusted EBITDA included $57 million of net investment income in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $50 million in the first nine months of 2024.  Total revenues and pre-tax income also included $81 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $78 million in the first nine months of 2024.

Bamboo reported commission and fee revenues of $64 million and pre-tax income of $15 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to commission and fee revenues of $43 million and pre-tax income of $16 million in the third quarter of 2024.  Bamboo reported MGA pre-tax income of $15 million and MGA adjusted EBITDA of $28 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to MGA pre-tax income of $14 million and MGA adjusted EBITDA of $19 million in the third quarter of 2024.  Managed premiums, which represent the total premiums placed by Bamboo, were $221 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $148 million in the third quarter of 2024.  The increase in managed premiums was driven by growth in the renewal book as well as new business volume.

Bamboo reported commission and fee revenues of $167 million and pre-tax income of $37 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to commission and fee revenues of $97 million and pre-tax income of $23 million in the first nine months of 2024.  Bamboo reported MGA pre-tax income of $40 million and MGA adjusted EBITDA of $74 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to MGA pre-tax income of $21 million and MGA adjusted EBITDA of $37 million in the first nine months of 2024.  Managed premiums were $558 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $358 million in the first nine months of 2024.  The increase in managed premiums was driven by growth in the renewal book as well as new business volume.

John Chu, CEO of Bamboo, said, "We again produced excellent operating results during the quarter.  On a trailing 12 months basis, managed premiums increased to $685 million, up 58% year-over-year, while MGA adjusted EBITDA increased to $90 million, up over 2x year-over-year.  We officially launched in Texas during the quarter.  Given this expansion and our continued success in California, the stage is set for profitable growth for the remainder of 2025 and beyond.  We're excited to partner with CVC and White Mountains for this next chapter."

 Distinguished  

On September 2, 2025, White Mountains acquired a controlling interest in Distinguished Programs, a full-service MGA and program administrator for specialty property & casualty insurance.  Distinguished places insurance across a diversified portfolio of programs broadly grouped into two verticals.  The ScaleCo vertical consists of established programs, primarily focused on real estate and hospitality end markets.  The GrowthCo vertical consists of start-up programs, focused on a diversified set of specialty property and casualty insurance products across multiple industries.  In the transaction, White Mountains paid $224 million of cash consideration, while Distinguished borrowed $50 million of incremental debt.  Including its 2% previously-held interest, at closing White Mountains owned 56% of Distinguished on a basic units outstanding basis (44% on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management's equity incentives).   

For the period from September 2, 2025 through September 30, 2025, Distinguished reported managed premiums of $43 million, commission and fee revenues of $14 million, pre-tax loss of $3 million, and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA of $1 million. 

Jason Rotman, President of Distinguished, said "My partners and I are very excited to be the newest members of the White Mountains family.  We remain focused on driving profitable growth in our ScaleCo businesses.  At the same time, we are growing and diversifying our portfolio of managed programs through the addition of new teams, with one launched this quarter and several more expected by early 2026."

 MediaAlpha   

As of September 30, 2025, White Mountains owned 17.9 million shares of MediaAlpha, representing a 27% basic ownership interest (25% on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis).  As of September 30, 2025, MediaAlpha's share price was $11.38 per share, which increased from $10.95 per share as of June 30, 2025.  The carrying value of White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha was $203 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to $196 million as of June 30, 2025.  At our current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $7.00 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains's book value per share.

 Regulation G  

This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

  • Kudu's EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, annualized adjusted EBITDA, annualized revenue and cash revenue yield are non-GAAP financial measures. 

    EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to GAAP net income (loss). 

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate EBITDA. The items relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:
    • Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) - Represents net unrealized investment gains and losses recorded on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses from participation contracts sold during the period.
    • Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Kudu's management compensation that are settled with equity units in Kudu.
    • Transaction expenses - Represents costs directly related to Kudu's mergers and acquisitions activity, such as external lawyer, banker, consulting and placement agent fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

Annualized adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) annualizes partial year revenues related to Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts acquired during the previous 12-month period and (ii) removes partial year revenues related to revenue and earnings participation contracts sold during the previous 12-month period.

Annualized revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds the adjustments for annualized adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net investment income. 

Cash revenue yield is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived using annualized revenue as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net investment income revenue yield, which is derived using GAAP net investment income as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.                                                                                             

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu's performance.  White Mountains also believes that annualized adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in understanding the full earnings profile of Kudu's business as of the end of any 12-month period.  See page 20 for the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net investment income to annualized revenue.

  • Bamboo's MGA pre-tax income (loss), MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. 

    MGA pre-tax income (loss) and MGA net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of the Bamboo captive, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss). 

    The following table presents the reconciliation from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to MGA pre-tax income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

MGA EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to MGA net income (loss).

MGA adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate MGA EBITDA.  The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (ii) software implementation expenses, (iii) restructuring expenses and (iv) transaction expenses.  A description of each item follows:

  •  
    • Non-cash equity-based compensation expense - Represents non-cash expenses related to Bamboo's management compensation that are settled with equity units in Bamboo.
    • Software implementation expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo's implementation of new software.
    • Restructuring expenses - Represents costs directly related to Bamboo's corporate restructuring and capital planning activities.
    • Transaction expenses - Represents costs directly related to the Bamboo transaction, including legal and consulting fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Bamboo's performance.  See page 22 for the reconciliation of Bamboo's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA.

  • Distinguished's ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. 

    ScaleCo net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss). 

    ScaleCo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to ScaleCo net income (loss). 

    ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the non-cash equity-based compensation expense in ScaleCo GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those items added back to calculate ScaleCo EBITDA. The non-cash equity-based compensation expense represents management compensation that is settled with equity units in Distinguished. 

    White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Distinguished's performance. White Mountains also believes that excluding the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which Distinguished views as an investment in start-up programs, is useful to understanding the performance of Distinguished's established programs. See page 23 for the reconciliation of Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA.

     
  • Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha and total equity portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes these measures to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains's investment portfolio and equity portfolio without regard to White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by White Mountains in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances.  However, whether actual results and developments will conform to its expectations and predictions is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including:

  • the risks that are described from time to time in White Mountains's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to White Mountains's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
  • claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis, severe weather, public health crises, terrorist attacks, war and war-like actions, explosions, infrastructure failures or cyber attacks;
  • recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate;
  • the market value of White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha;
  • business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to it and pursued;
  • actions taken by rating agencies, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch;
  • the continued availability of capital and financing;
  • the continued availability of fronting and reinsurance capacity;
  • deterioration of general economic, market or business conditions, including due to outbreaks of contagious disease and corresponding mitigation efforts;
  • competitive forces, including the conduct of other insurers;
  • changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its customers; and
  • other factors, most of which are beyond White Mountains's control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this earnings release are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by White Mountains will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, White Mountains or its business or operations.  White Mountains assumes no obligation to publicly update any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
