Notes
1) The tables show the movement in capacity as a result of
acquisitions made since 1(st) Jan 2017 splitting the capacity
retained by Helios and the capacity that is ceded to quota share
reinsurers.
2) The mid point forecasts as of 3rd quarter 2017 have been
aggregated at syndicate level from estimates supplied by managing
agents.
3) The midpoint estimates for 2016 year of account have reduced
during the quarter having been impacted by the 3(rd) quarter 2017
hurricane losses.
4) The impact on Helios will be as follows:
a. The additional capacity acquired on the open years will make
a contribution to the earnings of Helios although part of the
result will have been earned in prior years or will be treated as
pre-acquisition profits.
b. The increase in the mid point estimates on the retained
capacity over the year will be recognised in the Helios income
statement this year.
c. The overall improvement in the result will be received by
Helios in cash when the profits are distributed after the close of
the year of account.
