ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On May 2, 2016, White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. issued a press release announcing its results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The press release furnished herewith is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Certain information included in the press release constitutes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined in Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission). Specifically, non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in the press release are adjusted comprehensive income and adjusted book value per share. White Mountains believes these measures to be more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating White Mountains’s financial performance.
Adjusted comprehensive income is a non-GAAP financial measure that, for periods that White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method, excludes the change in equity in net unrealized gains and losses from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes, from comprehensive income. White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method until November 5, 2015, when it changed its accounting to fair value. In the calculation of comprehensive income under GAAP, fixed maturity investments are marked-to-market while the liabilities to which those assets are matched are not. Symetra attempts to earn a “spread” between what it earns on its investments and what it pays out on its products. In order to try to fix this spread, Symetra invests in a manner that tries to match the duration and cash flows of its investments with the required cash outflows associated with its life insurance and structured settlements products. As a result, Symetra typically earns the same spread on in-force business whether interest rates fall or rise. Further, at any given time, some of Symetra’s structured settlement obligations may extend 40 or 50 years into the future, which is further out than the longest maturing fixed maturity investments regularly available for purchase in the market (typically 30 years). For these long-dated products, Symetra is unable to fully match the obligation with assets until the remaining expected payout schedule comes within the duration of securities available in the market. If at that time, these fixed maturity investments have yields that are lower than the yields expected when the structured settlement product was originally priced, the spread for the product will shrink and Symetra will ultimately harvest lower returns for its shareholders. GAAP comprehensive income increases when rates decline, which would suggest an increase in the value of Symetra - the opposite of what is happening to the intrinsic value of the business. Therefore, White Mountains’s management and Board of Directors historically used adjusted comprehensive income when assessing Symetra’s quarterly financial performance. In addition, this measure is typically the predominant component of change in adjusted book value per share, which is used in calculation of White Mountains’s performance for both short-term (annual bonus) and long-term incentive plans. A schedule is included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K that reconciles adjusted comprehensive income to GAAP comprehensive income.
Adjusted book value per share is a non-GAAP measure which is derived by expanding the GAAP calculation of book value per share to exclude equity in net unrealized gains and losses from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes, for periods that White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method. In addition, the number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of adjusted book value per White Mountains common share are adjusted to exclude unearned restricted common shares, the compensation cost of which, at the date of calculation, has yet to be amortized. A schedule is included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K that reconciles adjusted book value per share to GAAP book value per share.

WHITE MOUNTAINS REPORTS ADJUSTED BOOK VALUE PER SHARE OF $704
HAMILTON, Bermuda (May 2, 2016) - White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported an adjusted book value per share of $704 at March 31, 2016, up 0.9% for the quarter, including dividends. Adding the estimated gain of $90 per share for the Sirius Group sale, which closed in April, adjusted book value per share is approximately $794.
Ray Barrette, Chairman and CEO, commented, “The year is off to a great start. Both the Sirius Group and Symetra transactions have closed, OneBeacon reported a solid 95% combined ratio, investments were up, BAM/HG Global continues to grow, and most of our insurance services businesses are building value. Including April, we have repurchased nearly 600,000 shares of White Mountains at good prices. As of today, we have about $2 billion of capital that is undeployed. Looking forward, we expect to gradually return capital to shareholders while exploring new investment opportunities.”
Adjusted comprehensive income was $50 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted comprehensive loss of $3 million in the first quarter of last year. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $13 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $84 million in the first quarter of last year.
OneBeacon
OneBeacon’s book value per share increased 4.4% for the first quarter of 2016, including dividends. OneBeacon’s GAAP combined ratio was 95% for both the first quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of last year. In the first quarter of 2016, OneBeacon completed the termination of its qualified pension plan and fully eliminated the associated liabilities from its balance sheet, resulting in an after-tax loss of less than $1 million. The results for the first quarter of 2016 also included a $13 million tax benefit related to the settlement of the IRS examination for the tax years 2007-2009.
Mike Miller, CEO of OneBeacon, said, “The year is off to a good start, with 4.4% growth in book value and a 95% GAAP combined ratio. Premium growth has been challenging, particularly in our more mature businesses, as we maintain underwriting discipline in an increasingly competitive market.”
Net written premiums were $280 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 2% from the comparable period of last year. During 2015, OneBeacon exited its lawyers liability and crop businesses and non-renewed an affiliated reinsurance treaty, which resulted in reductions of net written premiums that totaled $9 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of these exited businesses, net written premiums in the first quarter of 2016 decreased by 5% compared to the first quarter of last year.
HG Global/BAM
In the first quarter of 2016, BAM insured $2.2 billion of municipal bonds, $2.1 billion of which were in the primary market. Including policies bound in the first quarter of 2016 for municipal bond deals that will close in the second quarter of 2016, BAM guaranteed $2.6 billion of municipal bonds. As of March 31, 2016, BAM’s total claims paying resources were $607 million on total par insured of $24.6 billion. Total claims paying resources increased $6 million from December 31, 2015.
Bob Cochran, Chairman of BAM, said, “Demand for municipal bond insurance was solid to start the year, as increasing demand from institutional buyers of municipal bonds offset the negative impact from a decline in interest rates. BAM insured more new-issue transactions than any other insurer during the first quarter, and guaranteed $2.6 billion of municipal bonds, up 3% from the same period a year ago even as total municipal bond volume fell 7%. The increased interest from institutional investors, who prefer larger, more liquid issues, helped drive BAM’s average transaction size up 8%. BAM Credit Profiles - the summaries we publish for every transaction we insure and update annually - continued to distinguish us in the market. The Credit Profiles drive investor demand for BAM-insured bonds and increase the value added for municipal issuer members. We have now published more than 2,700 Credit Profiles, and BAM’s web site recorded a 41% year-over-year increase in download activity.”
HG Global reported pre-tax income of $7 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to pre-tax income of $6 million in the first quarter of last year. White Mountains reported $8 million of GAAP pre-tax loss related to BAM in the first quarter of 2016, compared to GAAP pre-tax loss of $9 million in the first quarter of last year. BAM’s affairs are managed on a statutory accounting basis, and it does not report stand-alone GAAP financial results. BAM’s statutory net loss was $8 million in both the first quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of last year. As a mutual insurance company that is owned by its members, BAM’s results do not affect White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its GAAP financial statements and its results are attributed to non-controlling interests.
Other Operations
White Mountains’s Other Operations segment reported pre-tax loss of $26 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $24 million in the first quarter of last year. The increase was driven by increased incentive compensation expenses and lower investment returns in the segment, mostly offset by lower pre-tax losses from insurance service businesses and WM Life Re. White Mountains’s Other Operations segment reported net realized and unrealized investment gains of $6 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $7 million in the first quarter of last year, which included an $7 million write-off of the investment in TaCerto. WM Life Re reported pre-tax loss of $1 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $5 million in the first quarter of last year. WM Life Re is in runoff, and all of its contracts will mature by June 30, 2016.
Share Repurchases
For the first quarter of 2016, White Mountains repurchased and retired 228,688 of its common shares for $173 million at an average share price of $755.36, or approximately 107% of White Mountains’s March 31, 2016 adjusted book value per share. The average share price paid was approximately 95% of White Mountains’s March 31, 2016 adjusted book value per share including the estimated gain from the Sirius Group transaction.
In April 2016, White Mountains repurchased and retired 356,423 of its common shares for $287 million at an average share price of $806.52, or approximately 114% of White Mountains’s March 31, 2016 adjusted book value per share. The average share price paid was approximately 102% of White Mountains’s March 31, 2016 adjusted book value per share including the estimated gain from the Sirius Group transaction.

Investment Activities
The GAAP total return on invested assets was 1.5% for the first quarter of 2016, which included 0.3% of currency gains, compared to a return of -0.1% for the first quarter of 2015, which included 1.0% of currency losses.
Reid Campbell, President of White Mountains Advisors, said, “The total portfolio was up 1.5% for the quarter, as returns were boosted by falling interest rates and currency gains from a general weakening in the U.S. dollar. In local currencies, the total portfolio was up 1.2%. The fixed income portfolio was up 1.2%, which was behind the longer duration Barclays Intermediate Aggregate Index. Reflecting the addition of the proceeds from the sale of Symetra, fixed income duration dropped from 2.2 years at the beginning of the quarter to 2.0 years at quarter end. The risk asset portfolio was up 1.3% for the quarter, which was in line with the S&P 500. Risk assets dropped from 23% of the total portfolio at the beginning of the quarter to 14% at quarter end, again reflecting the impact of the sale of Symetra. We took advantage of the equity market pullback in January and February to begin averaging back into equities, adding roughly $80 million of broad market ETFs near the market lows. We sold a similar amount of ETFs later in March after equity markets had recovered.”
Sirius Group
On April 18, 2016, White Mountains completed the sale of Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., (“Sirius Group”) to CM International Holding Pte. Ltd., the Singapore-based investment arm of China Minsheng Investment Corp., Ltd. (“CMI”). The gross estimated purchase price paid at the closing was $2.6 billion. Approximately $160 million of this amount was used to purchase out of Sirius Group certain assets to be retained by White Mountains, including shares of OneBeacon. The transaction is estimated to result in a gain of approximately $90 to White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share in the second quarter of 2016. As a result of the transaction, Sirius Group’s results have been reported as discontinued operations within White Mountains’s GAAP financial statements. Sirius Group’s results inured to White Mountains through the closing date of the transaction.
Sirius Group’s GAAP combined ratio was 93% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 81% for the first quarter last year. The increase in the combined ratio reflected a loss ratio that was 9 points higher than the first quarter of last year, driven by increased catastrophe and large loss activity.

Regulation G
This earnings release includes two non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. White Mountains believes these measures to be more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating White Mountains’s financial performance.
Adjusted book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure which is derived by expanding the calculation of GAAP book value per share to exclude equity in net unrealized gains (losses) from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes, for periods that White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method. White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method until November 5, 2015, when it changed its accounting to fair value. In addition, the number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of adjusted book value per White Mountains’s common share are adjusted to exclude unearned restricted common shares, the compensation cost of which, at the date of calculation, has yet to be amortized. The reconciliation of adjusted book value per share to GAAP book value per share is included on
page 7.
Adjusted comprehensive income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that, for periods that White Mountains accounted for its investment in Symetra under the equity method, excludes the change in equity in net unrealized gains (losses) from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes, from comprehensive income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders. The reconciliation of adjusted comprehensive income (loss) to GAAP comprehensive income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders is included on page 8.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This earnings release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this release which address activities, events or developments which White Mountains expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “will”, “believe”, “intend”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “estimate”, “predict” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to White Mountains’s:
• | change in adjusted book value per share or return on equity; |
• | business strategy; |
• | financial and operating targets or plans; |
• | incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses and the adequacy of its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and related reinsurance; |
• | projections of revenues, income (or loss), earnings (or loss) per share, dividends, market share or other financial forecasts; |
• | expansion and growth of its business and operations; and |
• | future capital expenditures. |
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 a number of 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed February 29, 2016; |
• | claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, terrorist attacks or severe winter weather; |
• | the continued availability of capital and financing; |
• | general economic, market or business conditions; |
• | business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to it and pursued; |
• | competitive forces, including the conduct of other property and casualty insurers and reinsurers; |
• | changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its customers; |
• | an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting its financial position; |
• | recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate; |
• | actions taken by ratings agencies from time to time, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch; 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.
