analysis
Explanatory notes:
The tables above show the gross aggregated estimated profits at
syndicate level (before members' agent fees payable by HUW and its
subsidiaries) of the syndicates in which the Company has
participated since 2008 on a three year underwriting year of
account (YOA) basis. The figures are also before HUW's quota share
and stop loss reinsurance arrangements which started with effect
from the 2013 YOA.
The forecast YOA syndicate profit for HUW is obtained by
applying the mid-point of the relevant estimated profit range to
each of HUW's syndicate participations.
The information presented above is actual and forecast YOA
information only prepared on a three year basis and should not be
considered as indicative of the Group's annually accounted expected
financial results to be prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
Further details, including quarterly progression for all years
and syndicate results for closed years, are available on HUW's
