Explanatory notes:

The table above shows the gross aggregated estimated profits at syndicate level (before members' agent fees payable by HUW and its subsidiaries) for the syndicates in which the Company participates on a three year underwriting year of account (YOA) basis. The figures are also before HUW's quota share and stop loss reinsurance arrangements. 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 prepared on a three year YOA basis and should not be considered as indicative of the Group's annually accounted financial results prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Further details, including quarterly progression for all years and syndicate results for closed years, will shortly be available on HUW's website at www.huwplc.com.
