ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment we concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears herein. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, we have determined that there has been no such change during the fourth quarter. ITEM 9B.

F-1 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Everest Group, Ltd.: Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Everest Group, Ltd.: and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing on page F-1 (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely F-2 Table of Contents detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Estimate of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses As discussed in Notes 1G and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the Company’s best estimate of the ultimate liability for reported and unreported claims for both its insurance and reinsurance businesses. The Company uses a variety of statistical and actuarial techniques to develop estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses by underwriting or accident year, sorted by exposure groupings. The Company considers many factors when setting reserves including: (1) exposure base and projected ultimate premium; (2) expected loss ratios; (3) actuarial methodologies and assumptions; (4) current legal interpretations of coverage and liability; and (5) economic conditions. The Company’s reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2025 was $34,312 million. We identified the evaluation of the estimate of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses as a critical audit matter. Evaluation of the estimate required subjective auditor judgment and the involvement of actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assess the methods and assumptions used to estimate the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process for estimating the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses. This included controls related to the selection of methodologies and certain assumptions used to derive the Company’s estimate. We involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in: • assessing the Company’s actuarial methodologies and assumptions used in estimating the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses by comparing the Company’s methodologies to generally accepted actuarial methods and evaluating the assumptions used based on actuarial judgment, company history, and industry practices • evaluating the Company’s estimated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses for certain lines of business by comparing each one to an independently developed range of reasonable estimates • evaluating the Company’s estimated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses for certain lines of business by assessing management’s methods and assumptions used to derive their loss estimates • evaluating the Company’s process for estimating the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses for catastrophic events • developing an overall range of reserve estimates to assess the position of the Company’s recorded reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses relative to the range.

Everest Group, Ltd. (“Group”), a Bermuda company, through its subsidiaries, principally provides reinsurance and insurance in the U.S., Bermuda and international markets. As used in this document, “Company” means Group and its subsidiaries. In October 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell the renewal rights for certain lines of the commercial retail insurance business in the U.S., U.K., E.U. and Asia Pacific American International Group, Inc. See Note 6 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Additionally, effective October 1, 2025, the Company entered into adverse development reinsurance agreements with State National Insurance Company, Inc. and MS Transverse Insurance Company. See Note 4 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The statements include all of the following domestic and foreign direct and indirect subsidiaries of Group: Everest International Reinsurance, Ltd. (“Everest International”), Everest Compañia de Seguros Generales Colombia S.A., Mt. Logan Re, Ltd. (“Mt. Logan Re”), Mt. Logan Insurance Managers, Ltd., Mt.

Whitney Securities, LLC, Everest Indemnity Insurance Company (“Everest Indemnity”), Everest Denali Insurance Company (“Everest Denali”), Everest Premier Insurance Company (“Everest Premier”), Everest Security Insurance Company (“Everest Security”), Everest, Consultoría, Administración y Back Office, Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada de Capital Variable and Everest Servicios Colombia S.A.S. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are reported in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of all voting interest entities ("VOE") in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and all variable interest entities ("VIE") in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate actual results could differ, possibly materially, from those estimates. Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior years’ amounts to conform to the 2025 presentation. B. Investments and Cash. Fixed maturity securities designated as available for sale reflect unrealized appreciation and depreciation, as a result of changes in fair value during the period, in shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews all of its fixed maturity, available F-10 Table of Contents for sale securities whose fair value has fallen below their amortized cost at the time of review. The Company then assesses whether the decline in value is due to non-credit related or credit related factors. In making its assessment, the Company evaluates the current market and interest rate environment as well as specific issuer information. Generally, a change in a security’s value caused by a change in the market, interest rate or foreign exchange environment does not constitute a credit impairment, but rather a non-credit related decline in fair value. Non-credit related declines in fair value are recorded as unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the Company intends to sell the impaired security or is more likely than not to be required to sell the security before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company records the entire impairment in net gains (losses) on investments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the Company determines that the decline is credit related and the Company does not have the intent to sell the security; and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company establishes a credit allowance equal to the estimated credit loss and is recorded in net gains (losses) on investments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The determination of credit related or non-credit related impairment is first based on an assessment of qualitative factors, which may determine that a qualitative analysis is sufficient to support the conclusion that the present value of expected cash flows equals or exceeds the security’s amortized cost basis. However, if the qualitative assessment suggests a credit loss may exist, a quantitative assessment is performed, and the amount of the allowance for a given security will generally be the difference between a discounted cash flow model and the Company’s carrying value. The Company will adjust the credit allowance account for future changes in credit loss estimates for a security and record this adjustment through net gains (losses) on investments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Fixed maturity securities designated as held to maturity consist of debt securities for which the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity or redemption and are reported at amortized cost, net of the current expected credit loss allowance. Interest income for fixed maturity securities held to maturity is determined in the same manner as interest income for fixed maturity securities available for sale. The Company evaluates fixed maturity securities classified as held to maturity for current expected credit losses utilizing risk characteristics of each security, including credit rating, remaining time to maturity, adjusted for prepayment considerations, and subordination level, and applying default and recovery rates, which include the incorporation of historical credit loss experience and macroeconomic forecasts, to develop an estimate of current expected credit losses. The majority of these fixed maturities classified as held to maturity are of a high credit quality and are rated investment grade as of December 31, 2025. Interest, dividend income and amortization of fixed maturity market premium and discounts, related to securities are recorded in net investment income, net of investment management and custody fees in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company does not create an allowance for uncollectible interest. If interest is not received when due, the interest receivable is immediately reversed and no additional interest is accrued. If future interest is received that has not been accrued, it is recorded as income at that time. The Company’s assessments are based on the issuers’ current and expected future financial position, timeliness with respect to interest and/or principal payments, speed of repayments and any applicable credit enhancements or breakeven constant default rates on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as relevant information provided by rating agencies, investment advisors and analysts. Retrospective adjustments are employed to recalculate the values of asset-backed securities. All of the Company’s asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities have a pass-through structure. Each acquisition lot is reviewed to recalculate the effective yield. The recalculated effective yield is used to derive a book value as if the new yield were applied at the time of acquisition. Outstanding principal factors from the time of acquisition to the adjustment date are used to calculate the prepayment history for all applicable securities. Conditional prepayment rates, computed with life to date factor histories and weighted average maturities, are used in the calculation of projected prepayments for pass-through security types. For equity securities, the Company reflects changes in fair value as net gains (losses) on investments. Interest income on all fixed maturities and dividend income on all equity securities are included as part of net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Short-term investments comprise securities due to mature within one year from the date of purchase and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. F-11 Table of Contents For some non-publicly traded securities, market prices are determined through the use of pricing models that evaluate securities relative to the U.S. Treasury yield curve, taking into account the issue type, credit quality and cash flow characteristics of each security. For other non-publicly traded securities, investment managers’ valuation committees will estimate fair value, and in many instances, these fair values are supported with opinions from qualified independent third parties. All fair value estimates from investment managers are reviewed by the Company for reasonableness. For publicly traded securities, fair value is based on quoted market prices or valuation models that use observable market inputs. When a sector of the financial markets is inactive or illiquid, the Company may use its own assumptions about future cash flows and risk-adjusted discount rates to determine fair value. Other invested assets include limited partnerships, corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”), rabbi trusts and other investments. Limited partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which can be recorded on a monthly or quarterly lag and are included within net investment income. COLI policies are carried at policy cash surrender value and changes in the policy cash surrender value are included within net investment income. Cash includes cash on hand. Restricted cash is included within cash in the consolidated balance sheets and represents amounts held for the benefit of third parties that is legally or contractually restricted as to its withdrawal or usage. Amounts include cash in trust funds set up for the benefit of ceding companies. C. Reinsurance The Company assumes reinsurance from other insurers. Assumed reinsurance refers to the Company’s acceptance of certain insurance risks that other insurance companies or pools have underwritten. The Company also cedes insurance to affiliated and unaffiliated insurers in order to limit its maximum losses and to diversify its exposures and provide statutory surplus relief. Such arrangements do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Reinsurance accounting is followed for ceded and assumed transactions that provide indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk (i.e., risk transfer). To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance agreement must include insurance risk, consisting of underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss to the reinsurer. If the ceded and assumed transactions do not meet risk transfer requirements, the Company accounts for these transactions as deposit transactions. The Company did not hold any contracts that did not pass risk transfer as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. Premiums, commissions, losses and loss adjustment expenses reflect the net effects of ceded and assumed prospective reinsurance transactions. Prepaid reinsurance premium represents the portion of premium ceded to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired terms of the reinsurance contract. The Company’s estimate of losses and LAE reserves ceded to reinsurers is based on assumptions that are consistent with those used in establishing the gross reserves for amounts the Company owes to its claimants. Refer to Reserve for Losses and LAE accounting policy below. Reinsurance recoverables include balances due from reinsurance companies and are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. Refer to Allowance for Premium Receivable and Reinsurance Recoverables accounting policy below. Reinsurance recoverables include an estimate of the amount of gross losses and LAE reserves that may be ceded under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, including IBNR unpaid losses. In the event that one or more of the reinsurers were unable to meet their obligations under these reinsurance agreements, the Company would not realize the full value of the reinsurance recoverable balances. The Company estimates its ceded reinsurance receivable based on the terms of any applicable facultative and treaty reinsurance, including an estimate of how IBNR losses will ultimately be ceded under reinsurance agreements. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate of reinsurance recoverables is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimate of the gross reserve for unpaid losses and LAE. Retroactive reinsurance agreements are reinsurance agreements under which a reinsurer agrees to reimburse the Company as a result of loss development related to past insurable events. For these agreements, the excess of the amounts ultimately collectible under the agreement over the consideration paid is recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves. The amount of deferred gain liability is recalculated each period based on cumulative recoveries not yet collected relative to the latest estimate of ultimate losses to be recovered. If the consideration paid exceeds the ultimate losses collectible under the agreement, the net loss on the agreement is recognized in income immediately in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In any given period, the change in deferred gain included in net income includes amortization of the deferred gain based on the percentage of ultimate ceded losses collected plus any change in the deferred liability due to change in the estimated losses to be recovered. The amounts are recalculated each period based on loss payments and updated loss reserves estimates. F-12 Table of Contents D. Premium Revenues. Written premiums are earned ratably over the periods of the related insurance and reinsurance contracts. Unearned premium reserves are established relative to the unexpired contract period. For reinsurance contracts, such reserves are established based upon reports received from ceding companies or estimated using pro rata methods based on statistical data. Reinstatement premiums represent additional premium recognized and earned at the time a loss event occurs and losses are recorded, most prevalently catastrophe related, when limits have been depleted under the original reinsurance contract and additional coverage is granted. The recognition of reinstatement premiums is based on estimates of loss and LAE, which reflects management’s judgement. Written and earned premiums and the related costs, which have not yet been reported to the Company, are estimated and accrued. Premiums are net of ceded reinsurance. E. Allowance for Premium Receivable and Reinsurance Recoverables. The Company applies the Current Expected Credit Losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its premiums and reinsurance recoverable balances and establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Premiums receivable, excluding receivables for losses within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums, are primarily comprised of premiums due from policyholders/cedents. Balances are considered past due when amounts that have been billed are not collected within contractually stipulated time periods. For these balances, the allowance is estimated based on recent historical credit loss and collection experience, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when appropriate. A portion of the Company's commercial lines business is written with large deductibles or under retrospectively-rated plans. Under some commercial insurance contracts with a large deductible, the Company is obligated to pay the claimant the full amount of the claim and the Company is subsequently reimbursed by the policyholder for the deductible amount. As such, the Company is subject to credit risk until reimbursement is made. Retrospectively-rated policies are policies whereby the ultimate premium is adjusted based on actual losses incurred. Although the premium adjustment feature of a retrospectively-rated policy substantially reduces insurance risk for the Company, it presents credit risk to the Company. The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if a significant portion of such policyholders failed to reimburse the Company for the deductible amount or the amount of additional premium owed under retrospectively-rated policies. The Company manages these credit risks through credit analysis, collateral requirements and oversight. The allowance for receivables for loss within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums is recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance is estimated as the amount of the receivable exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for probability of default. The probability of default is assigned based on each policyholder's credit rating, or a rating is estimated if no external rating is available. Credit ratings are reviewed and updated at least annually. The exposure amount is estimated net of collateral and other offsets, considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values and historical loss information for the type of collateral obtained. The probability of default factors are historical corporate defaults for receivables with similar durations estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The Company's evaluation of the required allowance for receivables for loss within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums considers the current economic environment as well as the probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios. The Company records total credit loss expenses related to premiums receivable in other underwriting expenses and records credit loss expenses related to deductibles in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable reflects management’s best estimate of reinsurance cessions that may be uncollectible in the future due to reinsurers’ unwillingness or inability to pay. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable includes an allowance for disputed balances. Based on this analysis, the Company may adjust the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable or charge off reinsurer balances that are determined to be uncollectible. Reinsurance recoverable balances are considered past due when amounts that have been billed are not collected within contractually stipulated time periods. Due to the inherent uncertainties as to collection and the length of time before reinsurance recoverable become due, it is possible that future adjustments to the Company’s reinsurance recoverable, net of the allowance, could be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period. F-13 Table of Contents The allowance is estimated as the amount of reinsurance recoverable exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for the probability of default. The reinsurance recoverable exposed is the amount of reinsurance recoverable net of collateral and other offsets, considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values and historical loss information for the type of collateral obtained. The probability of default factors are historical insurer and reinsurer defaults for liabilities with similar durations to the reinsured liabilities as estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The Company's evaluation of the required allowance for reinsurance recoverable considers the current economic environment as well as macroeconomic scenarios. To manage reinsurer credit risk, a reinsurance security review committee evaluates the credit standing, financial performance, management and operational quality of each potential reinsurer. The Company records credit loss expenses related to reinsurance recoverable in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Write-offs of reinsurance recoverable and any related allowance are recorded in the period in which the balance is deemed uncollectible. F. Deferred Acquisition Costs. Acquisition costs, consisting principally of commissions and brokerage expenses and certain premium taxes and fees incurred at the time a contract or policy is issued and that vary with and are directly related to the Company’s reinsurance and insurance business, are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Deferred acquisition costs are limited to their estimated realizable value by line of business based on the related unearned premiums, anticipated claims and claim expenses and anticipated investment income. G. Reserve for Losses and LAE. The reserve for losses and LAE is based on individual case estimates and reports received from ceding companies. A provision is included for losses and LAE incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) based on past experience. Provisions are also included for certain potential liabilities, including those relating to asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) exposures, catastrophe exposures and other exposures, for which liabilities cannot be estimated using traditional reserving techniques. See also Note 4 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. The reserves are reviewed periodically and any changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period the adjustment is made. The Company’s loss and LAE reserves represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate liability. Loss and LAE reserves are presented gross of reinsurance recoverable and incurred losses and LAE are presented net of reinsurance. Accruals for commissions are established for reinsurance contracts that provide for the stated commission percentage to increase or decrease based on the loss experience of the contract. Changes in estimates for such arrangements are recorded as commission expense. Commission accruals for contracts with adjustable features are estimated based on expected loss and LAE. H. Prepaid Reinsurance Premiums. Prepaid reinsurance premiums represent unearned premium reserves ceded to other reinsurers. Prepaid reinsurance premiums for any foreign reinsurers comprising more than 10% of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2025 were secured either through collateralized trust arrangements, rights of offset or letters of credit, thereby limiting the credit risk to the Company. I. Income Taxes. Holdings, the Company’s U.S. holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Foreign subsidiaries and branches of subsidiaries file local tax returns as required. Group and subsidiaries not included in Holdings’ consolidated tax return file separate company U.S. federal income tax returns as required. Deferred income taxes have been recorded to recognize the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, which arise because of differences between GAAP and income tax accounting rules. As a result of Bermuda enacting a corporate income tax effective January 1, 2025, Group subsidiaries in Bermuda will file and pay income taxes subsequent to that date. As an accounting policy, the Company has adopted the aggregate portfolio approach for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. F-14 Table of Contents J. Foreign Currency. The Company transacts business in numerous currencies through business units located around the world. The functional currency for each business unit is determined by the local currency used for most economic activity in that area. Movements in exchange rates related to transactions in currencies other than a business unit’s functional currency for monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured through the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in other income (expense), except for currency movements related to available for sale fixed maturities securities, which are excluded from net income (loss) and accumulated in shareholders’ equity, net of deferred taxes. The business units’ functional currency financial statements are translated to the Company’s reporting currency, U.S. dollars, using the exchange rates at the end of period for the balance sheets and the average exchange rates in effect for the reporting period for the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements, net of deferred income taxes, are excluded from net income (loss) and accumulated as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. K. Treasury Shares. Treasury shares are the Company’s common shares repurchased on the open market, by the Company. The cost of treasury shares includes the purchase price of shares acquired and direct costs to acquire shares, including commissions. L. Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if options granted under various share-based compensation plans were exercised resulting in the issuance of common shares that would participate in the earnings of the entity. Net income (loss) per common share has been computed as per below, based upon weighted average common basic and dilutive shares outstanding. Years Ended December 31, (Amounts in millions, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 2023 Net income (loss) per share: Numerator Net income (loss) $ 1,591 $ 1,373 $ 2517 Less: dividends declared-common shares and unvested common shares ( 335 ) ( 334 ) ( 288 ) Undistributed earnings 1,256 1,039 2,229 Percentage allocated to common shareholders (1) 98.8 % 98.8 % 98.8 % 1,241 1,027 2,203 Add: dividends declared-common shareholders 331 331 285 Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share $ 1,573 $ 1,358 $ 2,488 Denominator Denominator for basic earnings per weighted-average common shares 41.6 42.7 41.3 Effect of dilutive securities: Options — — — Denominator for diluted earnings per adjusted weighted-average common shares 41.6 42.7 41.3 Per common share net income (loss) Basic $ 37.80 $ 31.78 $ 60.19 Diluted $ 37.80 $ 31.78 $ 60.19 (1) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 41.6 42.7 41.3 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested common shares expected to vest 42.1 43.2 41.8 Percentage allocated to common shareholders 98.8 % 98.8 % 98.8 % (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) F-15 Table of Contents There were no options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. M. Segmentation. The Company, through its subsidiaries, conducts business through two reportable segments: Reinsurance and Insurance. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company revised the classification and presentation of certain run-off business, previously included within the Reinsurance and Insurance reportable segments, as part of a new operating segment called "Other". The Other segment includes the results of our sports and leisure business sold in October 2024, consisting of policies written prior to the sale and polices renewed and certain new business written on the Company’s paper post-sale. It also includes run-off A&E exposures, certain discontinued insurance programs primarily written prior to 2012 and certain discontinued insurance and reinsurance coverage classes. The Other segment does not generally sell insurance or reinsurance products but is responsible for the management of existing policies and settlement of related losses. These segment presentation changes have been reflected retrospectively. See also Note 7 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. N. Share-Based Compensation. Share-based compensation stock option, restricted share and performance share unit awards are fair valued at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period of the award. The tax benefit on the recorded expense is deferred until the time the award is exercised or vests (becomes unrestricted). See Note 15 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. O. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2023-09, which requires expanded income tax disclosures, including the disaggregation of existing disclosures related to the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company adopted and prospectively applied the accounting standard effective year end 2025. The Company did not adopt any other new accounting standards that had a material impact in 2025. Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company assessed the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards that are effective after 2025 by the FASB on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company assessed whether there have been material updates to previously issued accounting standards that are effective after 2025. There were no accounting standards identified, other than those directly referenced below, that are expected to have a material impact to Group. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2024-03, which requires additional disclosure about specific expense categories included in the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures. F-16 Table of Contents 2.

During 2022, the Company re-designated a portion of its fixed maturity securities from its fixed maturity - available for sale portfolio to its fixed maturity - held to maturity portfolio. The fair value of the securities reclassified at the date of transfer was $ 722 million, net of allowance for current expected credit losses, which was subsequently recognized as the new amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2025, $ 27 million of unrealized loss from the date of the re-designation remained in accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet and will be amortized into income through an adjustment to the yields of the underlying securities over the remaining life of the securities. The fair values of these securities incorporate the use of significant unobservable inputs and therefore are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The changes in net URA(D) for the Company’s investments are as follows: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Increase (decrease) during the period between the fair value and cost of investments carried at fair value, and deferred taxes thereon: Fixed maturity securities - available for sale, held to maturity and short-term investments $ 1,018 $ ( 203 ) Equity method investments — 18 Change in URA(D), pre-tax 1,018 ( 185 ) Deferred tax benefit (expense) ( 164 ) 76 Change in URA(D), net of deferred taxes, included in shareholders’ equity $ 854 $ ( 109 ) (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

The aggregate fair value and gross unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025 were $ 12.0 billion and $ 619 million, respectively. The fair value of securities for the single issuer (the U.S. government) whose securities comprised the largest unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025, amounted to less than 1.7 % of the overall fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities - available for sale. The fair value of the securities for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss position at December 31, 2025 comprised less than 0.2 % of the Company’s fixed maturity securities - available for sale. In addition, as indicated on the above table, there was no significant concentration of unrealized losses in any one market sector. The $ 70 million of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were generally comprised of domestic and foreign corporate securities, asset-backed securities, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and foreign government securities. Of these unrealized losses, $ 66 million were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. The $ 549 million of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position for more than one year related primarily to domestic and foreign corporate securities, agency residential and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and foreign government securities. Of these F-20 Table of Contents unrealized losses, $ 540 million were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. In all instances, there were no projected cash flow shortfalls to recover the full book value of the investments and the related interest obligations. The mortgage-backed securities still have excess credit coverage and are current on interest and principal payments. Based upon the Company’s current evaluation of securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025, the unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and non-issuer-specific credit spreads and are not credit-related. In addition, the contractual terms of these securities do not permit these securities to be settled at a price less than their amortized cost. The tables below display the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized depreciation of fixed maturity securities - available for sale by security type and contractual maturity, in each case subdivided according to length of time that individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the periods indicated: Duration of Unrealized Loss at December 31, 2024 by Security Type Less than 12 months Greater than 12 months Total (Dollars in millions) Fair Value Gross Unrealized Depreciation Fair Value Gross Unrealized Depreciation Fair Value Gross Unrealized Depreciation Fixed maturity securities - available for sale U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 80 $ ( 1 ) $ 398 $ ( 23 ) $ 478 $ ( 24 ) Obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions 9 — 40 ( 5 ) 48 ( 5 ) Corporate securities 2,744 ( 76 ) 2,132 ( 221 ) 4,876 ( 297 ) Asset-backed securities 958 ( 20 ) 537 ( 19 ) 1,495 ( 39 ) Mortgage-backed securities Agency commercial — — — — — — Non-agency commercial 53 ( 3 ) 757 ( 63 ) 810 ( 66 ) Agency residential 2,754 ( 115 ) 1,226 ( 172 ) 3,980 ( 287 ) Non-agency residential 654 ( 11 ) 25 — 678 ( 11 ) Foreign government securities 851 ( 35 ) 828 ( 112 ) 1,679 ( 147 ) Foreign corporate securities 2,484 ( 61 ) 1,785 ( 218 ) 4,269 ( 279 ) Total $ 10,587 $ ( 323 ) $ 7,728 $ ( 833 ) $ 18,315 $ ( 1,156 ) Securities where an allowance for credit loss was recorded 17 ( 1 ) — — 17 ( 1 ) Total fixed maturity securities - available for sale $ 10,604 $ ( 324 ) $ 7,728 $ ( 833 ) $ 18,332 $ ( 1,157 ) (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

The aggregate fair value and gross unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024 were $ 18.3 billion and $ 1.2 billion, respectively. The fair value of securities for the single issuer (the U.S. government), whose securities comprised the largest unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024, amounted to less than 1.6 % of the overall fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities - available for sale. The fair value of the securities for the issuer with the second largest unrealized loss comprised less than 0.9 % of the Company’s fixed maturity securities - available for sale. In addition, as indicated on the above table, there was no significant concentration of unrealized losses in any one market sector. The $ 324 million of unrealized F-21 Table of Contents losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were generally comprised of domestic and foreign corporate securities, asset-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and foreign government securities. Of these unrealized losses, $ 319 million were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. The $ 833 million of unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities - available for sale in an unrealized loss position for more than one year related primarily to domestic and foreign corporate securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and foreign government securities. Of these unrealized losses, $ 810 million were related to securities that were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. In all instances, there were no projected cash flow shortfalls to recover the full book value of the investments and the related interest obligations. The mortgage-backed securities still have excess credit coverage and are current on interest and principal payments. The components of net investment income are presented in the table below for the periods indicated: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 2023 Fixed maturities $ 1,572 $ 1,481 $ 1,153 Equity securities 4 3 3 Short-term investments and cash 169 195 140 Other invested assets Limited partnerships 277 206 122 Other 124 104 59 Gross investment income before adjustments 2,146 1,989 1,477 Funds held interest income (expense) 26 26 10 Future policy benefit reserve income (expense) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Gross investment income 2,172 2,013 1,486 Investment expenses 48 59 53 Net investment income $ 2,124 $ 1,954 $ 1,434 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) The Company records results from limited partnership investments on the equity method of accounting with changes in value reported through net investment income. The net investment income from limited partnerships is dependent upon the Company’s share of the net asset values (“NAVs”) of interests underlying each limited partnership. Due to the timing of receiving financial information from these partnerships, the results are generally reported on a one month or quarter lag. If the Company determines there has been a significant decline in value of a limited partnership during this lag period, a loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline. The Company had contractual commitments to invest up to an additional $ 2.5 billion in limited partnerships and private placement loan securities at December 31, 2025, which includes $ 1.4 billion specific to limited partnerships as noted below. These commitments will be funded when called in accordance with the partnership and loan agreements, which have investment periods that expire, unless extended, through 2035. The Company is the beneficiary of COLI policies, which are invested in debt and equity securities. The COLI policies are carried within other invested assets at the policy cash surrender value of $ 1.9 billion and $ 1.7 billion as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Variable Interest Entities The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs primarily as an investor through normal investment activities but also as an investment manager. A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company’s assessment, if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold any investments for which it is the primary beneficiary. F-22 Table of Contents The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in general and limited partnerships and other alternative investments. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is limited to the total carrying value of $ 3.9 billion and $ 3.6 billion, respectively, which are included in general and limited partnerships. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $ 1.4 billion whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. These investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in management. In addition, the Company makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments are included in asset-backed securities, which includes collateralized loan obligations and are classified as fixed maturities - available for sale. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company’s investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, credit subordination that reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits or the Company’s inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment. The components of net gains (losses) on investments are presented in the table below for the periods indicated: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 2023 Credit allowance on fixed maturity securities $ ( 30 ) $ 13 $ 7 Gains (losses) from fair value adjustment on public equities ( 1 ) ( 1 ) — Net realized gains (losses) from dispositions: Fixed maturities ( 112 ) 6 ( 292 ) Equity securities ( 1 ) 1 8 Other invested assets — ( 1 ) — Short-term investments — 1 — Total net gains (losses) from dispositions ( 112 ) 7 ( 283 ) Total net gains (losses) on investments $ ( 143 ) $ 19 $ ( 276 ) (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold fixed maturity securities - held to maturity with a net carrying amount of $ 11 million, which had realized losses of $ 1 million as part of the sale. The Company's decision to sell was due to significant credit deterioration of the issuer of the securities. Securities with a carrying value amount of $ 1.4 billion at December 31, 2025 were on deposit with or regulated by various state or governmental insurance departments in compliance with insurance laws. See Note 11 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. 3. FAIR VALUE GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use fair value measures for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP and provides a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, it establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The level in the hierarchy within which a given fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement, with Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest priority. F-24 Table of Contents The levels in the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities are managed both internally and on an external basis by independent, professional investment managers using portfolio guidelines approved by the Company. The Company obtains prices from nationally recognized pricing services. These services seek to utilize market data and observations in their evaluation process. These services use pricing applications that vary by asset class and incorporate available market information. When fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the services will apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. In addition, they use model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities that have prepayment features. The Company does not make any changes to prices received from the pricing services. In addition, the Company has procedures in place to review the reasonableness of the prices from the service providers and may request verification of the prices. The Company also continually performs quantitative and qualitative analysis of prices, including but not limited to initial and ongoing review of pricing methodologies, review of prices obtained from pricing services and third-party investment asset managers, review of pricing statistics and trends and comparison of prices for certain securities with a secondary price source for reasonableness. No material variances were noted during these price validation procedures. In limited situations, where financial markets are inactive or illiquid, the Company may use its own assumptions about future cash flows and risk-adjusted discount rates to determine fair value. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 2.5 billion and $ 2.2 billion, respectively, of fixed maturities were fair valued using unobservable inputs. The majority of these fixed maturities were valued by investment managers’ valuation committees and many of these fair values were substantiated by valuations from independent third parties. The Company has procedures in place to evaluate these independent third-party valuations. Equity securities denominated in U.S. currency with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are categorized as Level 1 since the quoted prices are directly observable. Equity securities traded on foreign exchanges are categorized as Level 2 due to the added input of a foreign exchange conversion rate to determine fair value. The Company uses foreign currency exchange rates published by nationally recognized sources. Fixed maturity securities listed in the tables have been categorized as Level 2, since a particular security may not have traded but the pricing services are able to use valuation models with observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves and prices for similar fixed maturity securities in terms of issuer, maturity and seniority. For foreign government securities and foreign corporate securities, the fair values are provided by the third-party pricing services in local currencies, and where applicable, are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates from nationally recognized sources. In addition, some of the fixed maturities with fair values categorized as Level 3 result when prices are not available from the nationally recognized pricing services, are obtained from investment managers and are derived using unobservable inputs. The Company will value the securities with unobservable inputs using comparable market information or receive fair values from investment managers. The investment managers may obtain non-binding price quotes for the securities from brokers. The single broker quotes are provided by market makers or broker-dealers who are recognized as market participants in the markets in which they are providing the quotes. The prices received from brokers are reviewed for reasonableness by the third-party asset managers and the Company. If the broker quotes are for foreign denominated securities, the quotes are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates from nationally recognized sources. F-25 Table of Contents The composition and valuation inputs for the presented fixed maturities categories Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows: • U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury bonds, and the fair value is based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances or benchmark yields; • Obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions are comprised of state and municipal bond issuances and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads; • Corporate securities are primarily comprised of U.S. corporate and public utility bond issuances and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads; • Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances or benchmark yields and cash flow models using observable inputs such as prepayment speeds, collateral performance and default spreads; • Foreign government securities are comprised of global non-U.S. sovereign bond issuances and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities and models with observable inputs such as benchmark yields and credit spreads and then, where applicable, are converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate from a nationally recognized source; and • Foreign corporate securities are comprised of global non-U.S. corporate bond issuances and the fair values are based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities and models with observable inputs such as benchmark yields and credit spreads and then, where applicable, are converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate from a nationally recognized source. The following tables present the fair value measurement levels for all assets which the Company has recorded at fair value as of the periods indicated: Fair Value Measurement Using: (Dollars in millions) December 31, 2025 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Fixed maturities - available for sale U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporations $ 830 $ — $ 830 $ — Obligations of U.S. States and political subdivisions 41 — 41 — Corporate securities 9,882 — 9,512 370 Asset-backed securities 5,077 — 2,987 2,091 Mortgage-backed securities Agency commercial 412 — 412 — Non-agency commercial 1,121 — 1,121 — Agency residential 5,465 — 5,465 — Non-agency residential 1,721 — 1,721 — Foreign government securities 2,371 — 2,371 — Foreign corporate securities 7,653 — 7,639 14 Total fixed maturities - available for sale 34,573 — 32,099 2,474 Equity securities, fair value 180 88 92 — (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

There were no transfers of assets in/(out) of Level 3 during 2025 or 2024. Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Reported, at Fair Value Certain financial instruments disclosed, but not reported, at fair value are excluded from the fair value hierarchy tables above. Fair values and valuation hierarchy of fixed maturity securities - held to maturity, senior notes and long-term subordinated notes can be found within Notes 2, 9 and 10 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. See Note 1 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. F-27 Table of Contents Exempt from Fair Value Disclosure Requirements Certain financial instruments are exempt from the requirements for fair value disclosure, such as limited/general partnerships accounted for under the equity method and pension and other postretirement obligations. The Company’s investments in COLI policies are recorded at their cash surrender value and are therefore not required to be included in the tables above. See Note 1 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for details of investments in COLI policies. In addition, $ 233 million and $ 239 million of investments within other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are not included within the fair value hierarchy tables, as the assets are measured at NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value. 4. RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LAE Reserve for losses and LAE. The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending reserve for losses and LAE and is summarized for the periods indicated: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 2023 Gross reserves beginning of period $ 29,889 $ 24,604 $ 22,065 Less reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses ( 2,915 ) ( 2,098 ) ( 2,105 ) Net reserves beginning of period 26,975 22,506 19,960 Incurred related to: Current year 10,202 9,967 8,432 Prior years, excluding impact from retroactive reinsurance 535 1,337 ( 5 ) Prior years, impact from retroactive reinsurance (1) 122 — — Total incurred losses and LAE 10,859 11,305 8,427 Paid related to: Current year 1,253 1,258 1,379 Prior years 6,525 5,279 4,731 Total paid losses and LAE 7,778 6,537 6,110 Foreign exchange/translation adjustment 663 ( 298 ) 229 Retroactive reinsurance adjustment (1) ( 122 ) — — Net reserves end of period 30,597 26,975 22,506 Plus reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses (2) 3,715 2,915 2,098 Gross reserves end of period $ 34,312 $ 29,889 $ 24,604 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) (1) The consideration paid ($ 1,372 million) exceeds the ceded loss reserves at the inception of the Agreement ($ 1,250 million), as a result the Company recognized an immediate pre-tax loss of $ 122 million in earnings, in accordance with retroactive reinsurance accounting guidance. The Company recognized the loss by writing off the reinsurance recoverable of $ 122 million, which represents excess compensation for the uncertainty of future claims development, and is not a component of our best estimate of loss reserves. (2) This amount excludes the unpaid recoverable of the adverse development reinsurance agreements of $ 1,253 million as of December 31, 2025. Current year incurred losses were $ 10.2 billion, $ 10.0 billion and $ 8.4 billion in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in current year incurred losses from 2024 to 2025 was primarily related to an increase of $ 308 million in current year attritional losses, resulting from the impact of the increase in premiums earned, strengthening of U.S. casualty reserves and changes in the mix of business, partially offset by a decrease of $ 73 million in current year catastrophe losses. The increase in current year incurred losses from 2023 to 2024, was primarily related to an increase in underlying exposure due to premium growth, year over year and changes in the mix of business as well an increase of $ 423 million in 2024 current year catastrophe losses. Incurred prior years unfavorable development in losses was $ 657 million and $ 1.3 billion in 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred prior years favorable development in losses of $ 5 million in 2023. The unfavorable development on prior year reserves of $ 657 million in 2025 was primarily due to strengthening of U.S. casualty reserves, as well as aviation F-28 Table of Contents losses associated with the Russia/Ukraine war within the Reinsurance segment, partially offset by the release of well-seasoned reserves in the property and mortgage lines within the Reinsurance segment. The reserve strengthening for prior year loss development was driven by elevated loss experience in excess casualty and U.S. liability lines primarily on accident years 2022-2024. In 2025, the United Kingdom’s High Court concluded that the confiscation of certain aircraft was covered under the war provision within certain reinsurance contracts. As a result of the court’s decision, the Company increased its net ultimate loss reserve for contracts that were exposed to the war in Russia/Ukraine. This increase in ultimate loss is reflected in the prior year incurred loss line in the table above. The net unfavorable development on prior year reserves of $ 1.3 billion in 2024 is primarily comprised of $ 1.1 billion of unfavorable development on prior years attritional losses for the Insurance segment, mainly driven by a combination of social inflation and portfolio concentrations in certain U.S. casualty lines and $ 403 million of unfavorable development on prior years attritional losses for the Other segment, mainly related to certain sports and leisure lines for accident years 2019 through 2023, including A&E reserve strengthening of $ 54 million. In addition, the Reinsurance segment recorded $ 684 million of unfavorable development on prior year casualty reserves. This unfavorable development in the Reinsurance segment was largely offset by favorable development booked on property and mortgage lines. The net favorable development on prior year reserves of $ 5 million in 2023 is comprised of $ 401 million of favorable development on prior years attritional losses for reinsurance lines, mainly related to mortgage and short-tail lines of business, mostly offset by $ 285 million of unfavorable development on prior years attritional losses for insurance lines, mainly related to casualty lines for accident years from 2016 through 2019 as well as $ 110 million of unfavorable development on prior years attritional losses for other lines. The following is information about incurred and paid claims development as of December 31, 2025, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of IBNR liabilities plus expected development on reported claims included within the net incurred claims amounts. Each of the Company’s financial reporting segments has been disaggregated into casualty and property business. The casualty and property segregation results in groups that have homogeneous loss development characteristics and are large enough to represent credible trends. Generally, casualty claims take longer to be reported and settled, resulting in longer payout patterns and increased volatility. Property claims on the other hand, tend to be reported and settled quicker and therefore tend to exhibit less volatility. The property business is more exposed to catastrophe losses, which can result in year over year fluctuations in incurred claims depending on the frequency and severity of catastrophes claims in any one accident year. The information about incurred and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2024 is presented as supplementary information. The Cumulative Number of Reported Claims is shown only for Insurance Casualty as it is impractical to provide the information for the remaining groups. The reinsurance groups each include pro rata contracts for which ceding companies provide only summary information via a bordereau. This summary information does not include the number of reported claims underlying the paid and reported losses. Therefore, it is not possible to provide this information. The Insurance Property group includes Accident and Health insurance business. This business is written via a master contract and individual claim counts are not provided. This business represents a significant enough portion of the business in the Insurance Property group so that including the number of reported claims for the remaining business would distort any analytics performed on the group. The Cumulative Number of Reported Claims shown for the Insurance Casualty is determined by claim and line of business. For example, a claim event with three claimants in the same line of business is a single claim. However, a claim event with a single claimant that spans two lines of business contributes two claims. F-29 Table of Contents Reconciliation of the Disclosure of Incurred and Paid Claims Development to the Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses The reconciliation of the net incurred and paid claims development tables to the liability for claims and claim adjustment expenses in the consolidated statement of financial position is as follows: December 31, 2025 (Dollars in millions) Net outstanding liabilities Reinsurance Casualty $ 14,048 Reinsurance Property 7,423 Insurance Casualty 6,597 Insurance Property 983 Liabilities for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance (1) 29,052 Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims Reinsurance Casualty 152 Reinsurance Property 901 Insurance Casualty 2,094 Insurance Property 314 Total reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims (1), (3) 3,461 Unallocated claims adjustment expenses 360 Other (2) 1,439 1,799 Total gross liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expense $ 34,312 (Some amounts may not reco ncile due to rounding.) (1) Amounts disclosed are for reinsurance and insurance reportable segments. (2) The other amount is primarily comprised of the Other segment, which includes the results of our sports and leisure business sold in October 2024, consisting of policies written prior to the sale and polices renewed and certain new business written on the Company’s paper post-sale. It also includes run-off A&E exposures, certain discontinued insurance programs primarily written prior to 2012 and certain discontinued insurance and reinsurance coverage classes. The Other segment does not generally sell insurance or reinsurance products but is responsible for the management of existing policies and settlement of related losses. (3) This amount excludes the unpaid recoverable of the adverse development reinsurance agreements of $ 1,253 million as of December 31, 2025. Adverse Development Reinsurance Agreements Effective October 1, 2025, the Company through its subsidiaries Everest Re and Bermuda Re (collectively, the “Ceding Companies”) (1) entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement (the “State National Reinsurance Agreement”) with State National Insurance Company, Inc. (“State National Reinsurer”) and (2) entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement (the “MS Transverse Reinsurance Agreement”) with MS Transverse Insurance Company (“MS Transverse Reinsurer”) (collectively the “Reinsurers”). The Reinsurance Agreements are supported on a retrocessional basis by Longtail Re, an affiliate of Stone Ridge Capital. The agreements reinsure potential adverse loss development for accident years 2024 and prior arising out of the Ceding Companies’ North American liabilities within the Insurance and Other segments (“Subject Business”), subject to exclusions for certain liabilities, including among others those related to the Asbestos and Environmental reserves included in the Other segment. The carried reserves held for the Subject Business, pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreements, were $ 5.4 billion as of September 30, 2025 and $ 5.0 billion as of December 31, 2025, respectively. Under the State National Reinsurance Agreement, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $ 1.3 billion, including interest, to State National Reinsurer to assume $ 1.3 billion of carried reserves as of September 30, 2025, and potential subsequent adverse development for net paid losses on an approximately 85.7 percent coinsurance basis up to an aggregate limit of $ 600 million above the Company’s net carried reserves for the Subject Business. Under the State National Reinsurance Agreement $ 250 million of the reinsurance premium was placed into a funds withheld collateral trust account as security for State National Reinsurer’s claim payment obligations to the Company. Under the MS Transverse Reinsurance Agreement, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $ 122 million to MS Transverse Reinsurer to assume potential subsequent adverse development for net paid losses on an 80 percent F-30 Table of Contents coinsurance basis up to an aggregate limit of $ 400 million. The $ 122 million payment to MS Transverse Reinsurer exceeds the retroactive reinsured liabilities and represents excess compensation for the uncertainty of future claims development, as a result the Company recognized an immediate pre-tax loss of $ 122 million in Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company Limited, the parent of MS Transverse Reinsurer, has provided a parental guarantee to secure its obligations under the agreement. The Company has retained the risk of collection on amounts due from other third-party reinsurers and continues to be responsible for claims handling and other administrative services, subject to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a deferred gain of $ 3 million. The deferred gain would be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries. The total covered losses ceded to State National Reinsurer were $ 1,253 million and the aggregated unexpired limit was $ 597 million and $ 400 million for State National Reinsurer and MS Transverse Reinsurer, respectively.

Because reserves are based on estimates of ultimate losses and LAE by underwriting or accident year, the Company uses a variety of statistical and actuarial techniques to monitor reserve adequacy over time, evaluate new information as it becomes known and adjust reserves whenever an adjustment appears warranted. The Company considers many factors when setting reserves including: (1) exposure base and projected ultimate premium; (2) expected loss ratios by product and class of business, which are developed collaboratively by underwriters and actuaries; (3) actuarial methodologies and assumptions which analyze loss reporting and payment experience, size of loss distributions, reports from ceding companies and historical trends, such as reserving F-35 Table of Contents patterns, loss payments and product mix; (4) current legal interpretations of coverage and liability; and (5) economic conditions including but not limited to social inflation. Management’s best estimate is developed through collaboration with actuarial, underwriting, claims, legal and finance departments and culminates with the input of reserve committees. Each segment reserve committee includes the participation of the relevant parties from actuarial, finance, claims and segment senior management. Reserves are further reviewed by Everest’s Chief Reserving Actuary and senior management. The objective of such process is to determine a single best estimate viewed by management to be the best estimate of its ultimate loss liability. Our insurance and reinsurance loss and LAE reserves represent management’s best estimate of our ultimate liability. Actual loss and LAE ultimately paid may deviate, perhaps substantially, from such reserves. Net income will be impacted in a period in which the change in estimated ultimate loss and LAE is recorded. The detailed data required to evaluate ultimate losses for the Company’s insurance business is accumulated from its underwriting and claim systems. Reserving for reinsurance requires evaluation of loss information received from ceding companies. Ceding companies report losses in many forms depending on the type of contract and the agreed or contractual reporting requirements. Generally, pro rata contracts require the submission of a monthly/quarterly account, which includes premium and loss activity for the period with corresponding reserves as established by the ceding company. This information is recorded in the Company’s records. For certain pro rata contracts, the Company may require a detailed loss report for claims that exceed a certain dollar threshold or relate to a particular type of loss. Excess of loss and facultative contracts generally require individual loss reporting with precautionary notices provided when a loss reaches a significant percentage of the attachment point of the contract or when certain causes of loss or types of injury occur. Experienced Claims staff handle individual loss reports and supporting claim information. Based on evaluation of a claim, the Company may establish additional case reserves in addition to the case reserves reported by the ceding company. To ensure ceding companies are submitting required and accurate data, Everest’s Underwriting, Claim, Reinsurance Accounting and Internal Audit departments perform various reviews of ceding companies, particularly larger ceding companies, including on-site audits. The Company segments both reinsurance and insurance reserves into exposure groupings for actuarial analysis. The Company assigns business to exposure groupings so that the underlying exposures have reasonably homogeneous loss development characteristics and are large enough to facilitate credible estimation of ultimate losses. The Company periodically reviews its exposure groupings and may change groupings over time as business changes. The Company currently uses approximately 250 exposure groupings to develop reserve estimates. One of the key selection characteristics for the exposure groupings is the historical duration of the claims settlement process. Business in which claims are reported and settled relatively quickly are commonly referred to as short tail lines, principally property lines. Casualty claims tend to take longer to be reported and settled and casualty lines are generally referred to as long tail lines. Estimates of ultimate losses for shorter tail lines, with the exception of loss estimates for large catastrophic events, generally exhibit less uncertainty than those for the longer tail lines. The Company uses a variety of actuarial methodologies, such as the expected loss ratio method, chain ladder methods and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods, supplemented by judgment where appropriate, to estimate ultimate loss and LAE for each exposure group. Expected Loss Ratio Method: The expected loss ratio method uses earned premium times an expected loss ratio to calculate ultimate losses for a given underwriting or accident year. This method relies entirely on expectation to project ultimate losses with no consideration given to actual losses. As such, it may be appropriate for an immature underwriting or accident year where few, if any, losses have been reported or paid, but less appropriate for a more mature year. Chain Ladder Method: Chain ladder methods use a standard loss development triangle to project ultimate losses. Age-to-age development factors are selected for each development period and combined to calculate age-to-ultimate development factors which are then applied to paid or reported losses to project ultimate losses. This method relies entirely on actual paid or reported losses to project ultimate losses. No other factors such as changes in pricing or other expectations are taken into account. It is most appropriate for groups with homogeneous, stable experience where past development patterns are expected to continue in the future. It is least appropriate for groups which have changed significantly over time, or which are more volatile. Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method: The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method is a combination of the expected loss ratio method and the chain ladder method. Ultimate losses are projected based partly on actual paid or reported losses and partly on expectation. IBNR reserves are calculated using earned premium, an a priori loss ratio and selected age-to-age development factors and added to actual reported (paid) losses to determine ultimate losses. It is more responsive to actual reported or paid development than the expected loss ratio method but less responsive than the chain ladder method. F-36 Table of Contents For both short and long tail lines, the Company supplements these general approaches with analytically based judgments. Although the Company uses similar actuarial methods for both short tail and long tail lines, the faster reporting of experience for the short tail lines allows the Company to have greater confidence in its estimates of ultimate losses at an earlier stage than for long tail lines. For immature underwriting or accident years, the initial expected loss ratios are key inputs that involve management’s judgment and are based on a variety of factors, including: (1) expected loss ratios developed during the Company’s pricing process; (2) historical loss ratios adjusted for rate change and trend; and (3) industry benchmarks for similar business. These judgments take into account management’s view of past, current and future factors that may influence ultimate losses, including: (1) market conditions; (2) changes in the business underwritten; (3) changes in timing of the emergence of claims; and (4) other factors. The determination of when reported losses are sufficient and credible to warrant selection of an ultimate loss ratio different from the initial expected loss ratio also requires judgment. Carried reserves at each reporting date are the management’s best estimate of ultimate unpaid losses and LAE at that date. The Company completes detailed reserve studies for each exposure group annually for both reinsurance and insurance operations. The completed annual reserve studies are “rolled-forward” for each accounting period until the subsequent reserve study is completed. Analyzing the roll-forward process involves comparing actual reported losses to expected losses based on the most recent reserve study. The Company analyzes significant variances between actual and expected losses and also considers recent market, underwriting and management criteria to determine management’s best estimate of ultimate unpaid losses and LAE. Certain reserves, including losses from widespread catastrophic events, cannot be estimated using traditional actuarial methods. Rather, loss and LAE reserves are estimated by management by completing an in-depth analysis of the individual contracts which may potentially be impacted by the loss. The analysis uses inputs from various sources and methodology, to build up a comprehensive perspective. Such analysis generally involves: (1) estimating the size of insured industry losses; (2) reviewing portfolios to identify contracts which are exposed; (3) reviewing information reported or otherwise provided by customers and brokers; (4) discussing the loss with customers and brokers; and (5) estimating the ultimate expected cost to settle all claims and administrative costs arising from the loss on a contract-by-contract basis and in aggregate for the event. Due to the inherent uniqueness or specific nature of a catastrophic event, each event has its own unique assessment, and different weights may be applied to various inputs based on management’s judgment. Once a loss has occurred, during the then current reporting period, the Company records its best estimate of the ultimate expected cost to settle all claims arising from the loss. The Company’s estimate of loss and LAE reserves is then determined by deducting cumulative paid losses from its estimate of the ultimate expected loss. The Company’s estimate of IBNR is determined by deducting cumulative paid losses, case reserves and additional case reserves from its estimate of the ultimate expected loss. Because catastrophe losses are typically due to prominent, public events such as hurricanes and earthquakes, the Company is often able to use independent reports as part of its loss reserve estimation process. The Company also reviews catastrophe bulletins published by various statistical modeling agencies to assist in determining the size of the industry loss, although these reports may not be available for some time after an event. For smaller events including localized severe weather events such as windstorms, hail, ice, snow, flooding, freezing and tornadoes, which are not necessarily prominent, public occurrences, the Company initially places greater reliance on catastrophe bulletins published by statistical modeling agencies to assist in determining what events occurred during the reporting period than the Company does for large events. This includes reviewing catastrophe bulletins published by Property Claim Services for U.S. catastrophes. The Company sets its initial estimates of reserves for loss and LAE for these smaller events based on a combination of its historical market share for these types of losses and the estimate of the total insured industry property losses as reported by statistical modeling agencies, although management may make significant adjustments based on the Company’s current exposure to the geographic region involved as well as the size of the loss and the peril involved. In general, reserves for the Company’s more recent large losses are subject to greater uncertainty and, therefore, greater potential variability, and are likely to experience material changes from one period to the next. This is due to the uncertainty as to the size of the industry losses, uncertainty as to which contracts have been exposed, uncertainty due to complex legal and coverage issues that can arise out of large or complex losses and uncertainty as to the magnitude of losses and LAE incurred by the Company’s customers. As the Company’s losses age, more information becomes available, and the Company believes its estimates become more certain. The Company continues to receive claims under expired insurance and reinsurance contracts asserting injuries and/or damages relating to or resulting from environmental pollution and hazardous substances, including asbestos. Environmental claims typically assert liability for (a) the mitigation or remediation of environmental contamination or (b) bodily injury or property damage caused by the release of hazardous substances into the land, air or water. Asbestos F-37 Table of Contents claims typically assert liability for bodily injury from exposure to asbestos or for property damage resulting from asbestos or products containing asbestos. The results of run-off A&E exposures are included within the Company’s Other Segment. Our reserves include an estimate of our ultimate liability for A&E claims. There are significant uncertainties surrounding our estimates of our potential losses from A&E claims. Among the uncertainties are: (a) potentially long waiting periods between exposure and manifestation of any bodily injury or property damage; (b) difficulty in identifying sources of asbestos or environmental contamination; (c) difficulty in properly allocating responsibility and/or liability for asbestos or environmental damage; (d) changes in underlying laws and judicial interpretation of those laws; (e) the potential for an asbestos or environmental claim to involve many insurance providers over many policy periods; (f) questions concerning interpretation and application of insurance and reinsurance coverage; and (g) uncertainty regarding the number and identity of insureds with potential asbestos or environmental exposure. Due to the uncertainties discussed above, the ultimate losses attributable to A&E, and particularly asbestos, may be subject to more variability than are non-A&E reserves. The Company’s reserves include an estimate of the Company’s ultimate liability for A&E claims. The Company’s A&E liabilities emanate from Mt. McKinley Insurance Company’s (“Mt. McKinley”), a former wholly owned subsidiary that was sold in 2015, direct insurance business and Everest Re’s assumed reinsurance business. All of the contracts of insurance and reinsurance, under which the Company has received claims during the past three years, expired more than 20 years ago. There are significant uncertainties surrounding the Company’s reserves for its A&E losses. A&E exposures represent a separate exposure group for monitoring and evaluating reserve adequacy. The following table summarizes incurred losses with respect to A&E reserves on both a gross and net of reinsurance basis for the periods indicated: At December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 2023 Gross basis: Beginning of period reserves $ 260 $ 247 $ 278 Incurred losses 2 62 — Paid losses ( 52 ) ( 49 ) ( 31 ) End of period reserves $ 209 $ 260 $ 247 Net basis: Beginning of period reserves $ 242 $ 232 $ 257 Incurred losses — 54 — Paid losses ( 49 ) ( 43 ) ( 25 ) End of period reserves $ 193 $ 242 $ 232 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) In 2015, the Company sold Mt. McKinley to Clearwater Insurance Company (“Clearwater”), a subsidiary of Fairfax Financial. Concurrently with the closing, the Company entered into a retrocession treaty with an affiliate of Clearwater. Per the retrocession treaty, the Company retroceded 100 % of the liabilities associated with certain Mt. McKinley policies, which related entirely to A&E business and had been reinsured by Bermuda Re. As consideration for entering into the retrocession treaty, Everest Re Bermuda transferred cash of $ 140 million, an amount equal to the net loss reserves as of the closing date. The maximum liability retroceded under the retrocession treaty will be $ 440 million, equal to the retrocession payment plus $ 300 million. The Company will retain liability for any amounts exceeding the maximum liability retroceded under the retrocession treaty. On December 20, 2019, the retrocession treaty was amended and included a partial commutation. As a result of this amendment and partial commutation, gross A&E reserves and correspondingly reinsurance receivable were reduced by $ 43 million. In addition, the maximum liability permitted to be retroceded increased to $ 450 million. Reinsurance Recoverables. Reinsurance recoverables for both paid and unpaid losses totaled $ 5.1 billion and $ 3.1 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, in connection with the ADC reinsurance agreements, $ 1,253 million was unpaid recoverable from State National Insurance Company, Inc. Additionally at December 31, 2025, $ 411 million, or 8.1 %, was recoverable from Mt. Logan Re collateralized segregated accounts and $ 289 million, or 5.7 %, was recoverable from Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. No other retrocessionaire accounted for more than 5 % of our recoverables. F-38 Table of Contents 5. REINSURANCE The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to large claims and catastrophic loss occurrences. These agreements provide for recovery from reinsurers of a portion of losses and LAE under certain circumstances without relieving the Company of its underlying obligations to the policyholders. The Company's procedures include carefully selecting its reinsurers, structuring agreements to provide collateral funds where necessary and regularly monitoring the financial condition and ratings of its reinsurers. The Company may hold partial collateral, including letters of credit and funds held, under these agreements. See also Note 1E, Note 4 and Note 11 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. In placing reinsurance, the Company considers the nature of the risk reinsured, including the expected liability payout duration and establishes limits tiered by reinsurer credit rating. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. See Note 1E of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of allowance on reinsurance recoverables. Effective October 1, 2025, the Company’s subsidiaries entered into two adverse development reinsurance agreements, both of which are accounted for as retroactive reinsurance. The agreements reinsure potential adverse loss development for accident years 2024 and prior arising out of the ceding companies’ North American liabilities in the Insurance and Other segment, subject to exclusions for certain liabilities, including among others those related to the A&E reserves included in the Other segment. For additional details on the ADC agreements, refer to Note 4 - Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses. Insurance companies, including reinsurers, are regulated and hold risk-based capital to mitigate the risk of loss due to economic factors and other risks. Non-U.S. reinsurers are either subject to a capital regime substantively equivalent to domestic insurers or we hold collateral to support collection of reinsurance receivable. As a result, there is limited history of losses from insurer defaults. Premiums written and earned and incurred losses and LAE are comprised of the following for the periods indicated: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 2023 Written premiums: Direct $ 4,641 $ 5,115 $ 5,031 Assumed 13,065 13,117 11,606 Ceded ( 2,193 ) ( 2,418 ) ( 1,907 ) Net written premiums $ 15,513 $ 15,814 $ 14,730 Premiums earned: Direct $ 4,921 $ 4,977 $ 4,733 Assumed 13,067 12,458 10,518 Ceded ( 2,429 ) ( 2,248 ) ( 1,807 ) Net premiums earned $ 15,560 $ 15,187 $ 13,443 Incurred losses and LAE: Direct $ 4,352 $ 5,465 $ 3,209 Assumed 8,083 7,464 5,870 Ceded ( 1,698 ) ( 1,624 ) ( 651 ) Retroactive reinsurance adjustment (1) 122 — — Net incurred losses and LAE $ 10,859 $ 11,305 $ 8,427 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) (1) The consideration paid ($ 1.4 billion) exceeds the ceded loss reserves at the inception of the Agreement ($ 1.3 billion), as a result the Company recognized an immediate pre-tax loss of $ 122 million in earnings, in accordance with retroactive reinsurance accounting guidance. The Company recognized the loss by writing off the reinsurance recoverable of $ 122 million, which represents excess compensation for the uncertainty of future claims development, and is not a component of our best estimate of loss reserves. 6. SALE OF RENEWAL RIGHTS On October 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “ROW Master Transaction Agreement”) with American International Group, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to cause (i) Everest International Australia and Singapore branches, (ii) Ireland Insurance UK branch and (iii) Everest National, Everest Indemnity, Everest Security, Everest Premier and Everest Denali, Everest Assurance and Everest Reinsurance Company to F-39 Table of Contents sell to Buyer the renewal rights in respect of certain lines of commercial retail insurance business, subject to certain exclusions as set forth in the ROW Master Transaction Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 252 million. Pursuant to the ROW Master Transaction Agreement, if the gross written premium paid and payable to the Buyer in respect to the Aggregate Renewed Premiums (as defined in the ROW Master Transaction Agreement) from the closing date of the transaction to December 31, 2027 are less than 80 % of the aggregate premiums for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company will reimburse a portion of the aggregate purchase price under the ROW Master Transaction Agreement to the Buyer based on the relative percentage of such 2025 premiums renewed, which amount shall not exceed $ 70 million. The closing of the transaction pursuant to the ROW Master Transaction Agreement occurred on October 26, 2025. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company recognized a $ 204 million gain on sale included in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The remaining $ 47 million was recorded as a liability within Other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 due to significant uncertainty related to factors outside the Company's influence, including the Buyer's underwriting decisions and the period until resolution. The Company also received and recognized $ 30 million for originating and structuring the transaction in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, on October 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “EU Master Transaction Agreement,” and together with the ROW Master Transaction Agreement, the “Master Transaction Agreements”), between the Company and the Buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to cause Ireland Insurance to sell to the Buyer, the renewal rights in respect of certain lines of commercial retail insurance business written by Ireland Insurance in certain countries in the European Union, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 49 million. The closing of the transaction pursuant to the EU Master Transaction Agreement is subject to the receipt of antitrust approvals from the European Commission and other customary closing conditions, which occurred on December 10, 2025. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company recognized a $ 55 million gain on sale included in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Under the Master Transaction Agreements, the Buyer has also agreed to pay the Company a total of $ 10 million per month for nine months for specified transition services starting January 1, 2026. In addition, as a result of the Master Transaction Agreements, the Company also recorded severance and impairments of capitalized software in the amount of $ 28 million and $ 83 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. Legal expenses and merger and acquisition fees related to the sale were $ 21 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. These expenses were recorded in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. 7. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company conducts business through two reportable segments: Reinsurance and Insurance. The Reinsurance operation writes worldwide property and casualty reinsurance and specialty lines of business, on both a treaty and facultative basis, through reinsurance brokers, as well as directly with ceding companies. Business is written in the U.S., Bermuda, and Ireland offices, as well as, through branches in Canada, India, Singapore, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Switzerland. The Insurance operation writes property and casualty insurance directly and through brokers, including for surplus lines, and general agents within the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Europe, Singapore and South America through its offices in the U.S., Bermuda, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Singapore, the U.K., Ireland, and branches located in Australia, the U.K., the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The two segments are managed independently, but conform with corporate guidelines with respect to pricing, risk management, control of aggregate catastrophe exposures, capital, investments and support operations. Our two reportable segments each have executive leadership who are responsible for the overall performance of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer of Everest Group, Ltd., who is ultimately responsible for reviewing the business to assess performance, make operating decisions and allocate resources. We report the results of our operations consistent with the manner in which our CODM reviews the business. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company revised its classification and presentation of certain run-off business, previously included within the Reinsurance and Insurance reportable segments, as part of a new segment called "Other". F-40 Table of Contents The Other segment includes the results of our sports and leisure business sold in October 2024, consisting of policies written prior to the sale and polices renewed and certain new business written on the Company’s paper post-sale. It also includes run-off A&E exposures, certain discontinued insurance programs primarily written prior to 2012 and certain discontinued insurance and reinsurance coverage classes. The Other segment does not generally sell insurance or reinsurance products but is responsible for the management of existing policies and settlement of related losses. These segment presentation changes have been reflected retrospectively within this Form 10-K, including Schedule III - Supplementary Insurance Information. The Company does not review and evaluate the financial results of its segments based upon balance sheet data. Management generally monitors and evaluates the financial performance of these segments based upon their underwriting results. Underwriting results include earned premium less losses and LAE incurred, commission and brokerage expenses and other underwriting expenses. The Company measures its underwriting results using ratios, in particular, loss, commission and brokerage and other underwriting expense ratios, which, respectively, divide incurred losses, commissions and brokerage and other underwriting expenses by premiums earned. Management has determined that these measures are appropriate and align with how the business is managed. We continue to evaluate our segments as our business evolves and may further refine our segments and financial performance measures. The following tables present segment underwriting results for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2025 (Dollars in millions) Reinsurance Insurance Other Total Gross written premiums $ 12,825 $ 4,790 $ 91 $ 17,706 Net written premiums 11,791 3,638 84 15,513 Premiums earned $ 11,732 $ 3,718 $ 111 $ 15,560 Incurred losses and LAE 7,517 3,050 292 10,859 Commission and brokerage 2,952 488 21 3,461 Other underwriting expenses 291 721 17 1,029 Underwriting gain (loss) $ 972 $ ( 541 ) $ ( 220 ) $ 211 Net investment income 2,124 Net gains (losses) on investments ( 143 ) Corporate expenses ( 109 ) Interest, fee and bond issue cost amortization expense ( 151 ) Other income (expense) ( 45 ) Income (loss) before taxes $ 1,887 Year Ended December 31, 2024 (Dollars in millions) Reinsurance Insurance Other Total Gross written premiums $ 12,941 $ 5,078 $ 212 $ 18,232 Net written premiums 11,969 3,678 167 15,814 Premiums earned $ 11,412 $ 3,579 $ 197 $ 15,187 Incurred losses and LAE 7,103 3,622 580 11,305 Commission and brokerage 2,837 439 24 3,300 Other underwriting expenses 290 615 33 938 Underwriting gain (loss) $ 1,181 $ ( 1,097 ) $ ( 440 ) $ ( 356 ) Net investment income 1,954 Net gains (losses) on investments 19 Corporate expenses ( 95 ) Interest, fee and bond issue cost amortization expense ( 149 ) Other income (expense) 121 Income (loss) before taxes $ 1,493 F-41 Table of Contents Year Ended December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Reinsurance Insurance Other Total Gross written premiums $ 11,460 $ 4,888 $ 289 $ 16,637 Net written premiums 10,802 3,704 225 14,730 Premiums earned $ 9,799 $ 3,420 $ 225 $ 13,443 Incurred losses and LAE 5,690 2,471 266 8,427 Commission and brokerage 2,520 410 22 2,952 Other underwriting expenses 254 556 35 846 Underwriting gain (loss) $ 1,334 $ ( 18 ) $ ( 98 ) $ 1,219 Net investment income 1,434 Net gains (losses) on investments ( 276 ) Corporate expenses ( 73 ) Interest, fee and bond issue cost amortization expense ( 134 ) Other income (expense) ( 14 ) Income (loss) before taxes $ 2,154 The following table below presents gross written premiums by geographic region.

The estimated industry level of insured losses is obtained from published estimates by an independent recognized authority on insured property losses. Kilimanjaro has financed the various property catastrophe reinsurance coverages by issuing catastrophe bonds to unrelated, external investors. The proceeds from the issuance of the catastrophe bonds are held in reinsurance trusts throughout the duration of the applicable reinsurance agreements and invested solely in U.S. government money market funds with a rating of at least “AAAm” by Standard & Poor’s. The catastrophe bonds’ issue dates, maturity dates and amounts correspond to the reinsurance agreements listed above. 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in lawsuits, arbitrations and other formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, the outcomes of which will determine the Company’s rights and obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements. In some disputes, the Company seeks to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owing to it. In other matters, the Company is resisting attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. These disputes arise from time to time and are ultimately resolved through both informal and formal means, including negotiated resolution, arbitration and litigation. In all such matters, the Company believes that its positions are legally and commercially reasonable. The Company considers the statuses of these proceedings when determining its reserves for unpaid loss and LAE. Aside from litigation and arbitrations related to these insurance and reinsurance agreements, the Company is not a party to any other material litigation or arbitration. The Company has entered into separate annuity agreements with Prudential Insurance Company (“Prudential”), an unaffiliated life insurance company, as well as an additional unaffiliated life insurance company in which the Company has either purchased annuity contracts or become the assignee of annuity proceeds that are meant to settle claim payment obligations in the future. In both instances, the Company would become contingently liable if either Prudential or the unaffiliated life insurance company was unable to make payments related to the respective annuity contract. The table below presents the estimated cost to replace all such annuities for which the Company was contingently liable for the periods indicated: At December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Prudential $ 134 $ 136 Other unaffiliated life insurance company $ 31 $ 32 F-48 Table of Contents 13. LEASES The Company enters into lease agreements for real estate that is primarily used for office space in the ordinary course of business. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, whereby lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Most leases include an option to extend or renew the lease term. The exercise of the renewal is at the Company’s discretion. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising those options. The Company, in determining the present value of lease payments utilizes either the rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily determinable or the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate commensurate with terms of the underlying lease.

In August 2025, following shareholder approval, the Company implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2025 ESPP”), authorizing the issuance of 500,000 shares under such plan. The ESPP provides employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase Group common shares at a discount through accumulated payroll deductions during established offering periods. Under this plan, eligible employees of the Company purchase common shares at a discount rate of 15 % from the market price per share on the last trading day of the offering period. The ESPP is a compensatory plan, based on the discount rate of 15 %. Therefore, consistent with other forms of share- F-52 Table of Contents based payments, compensation cost for equity awarded through the ESPP is measured as the fair value of the award at grant date. 16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Benefit Pension Plans. The Company maintains both qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for its U.S. employees employed prior to April 1, 2010. Generally, the Company computes the benefits based on average earnings over a period prescribed by the plans and credited length of service. The Company’s non-qualified defined benefit pension plan provided compensating pension benefits for participants whose benefits have been curtailed under the qualified plan due to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) limitations. Effective January 1, 2018, participants of the Company’s non-qualified defined benefit pension plan no longer accrue additional service benefits. Additionally, on November 15, 2023, the Company's Board approved the termination of the qualified defined benefit pension plan. In June 2024, the Company amended the qualified defined benefit pension plan to freeze all benefits accruals and terminate the plan effective June 30, 2024. Plan participants no longer accrue future plan benefits after June 30, 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into an annuity purchase contract to liquidate the plan and settled substantially all of the pension benefit obligation. Upon termination of the qualified defined benefit pension plan, participants were given the option to receive a lump sum payout or receive payments from the annuity purchaser. In June 2025, the Company executed a lump sum payout of $ 49 million for a specified group of elected participants and completed the transfer of the agreed-upon annuity contract purchase consideration of $ 186 million for a total payout of $ 235 million. Final settlement of the annuity contract purchase occurred in November 2025 at which time the Company was relieved of all remaining plan benefit obligation. Plan assets consist primarily of shares in investment trusts with 100 % of the underlying assets consisting of short-term investments. The Company manages the qualified plan investments for U.S. employees. The Company’s contributions to the defined benefit pension plans were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, although such contributions are not required under U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regulations.

In 2025, the weighted average discount rate used to determine net periodic benefit cost was 4.75 % for annuities and ranged from 4.66 % to 5.57 % for lump sums. The weighted average discount rates used to determine net periodic benefit cost for 2024 and 2023 were 5.00 % and 5.25 %, respectively. The rate of compensation increase used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for January 2024 through April 2024 was 4.00 %. The net periodic benefit cost was remeasured at May 1, 2024 due to plan curtailment. Rate of compensation increase is not applicable to calculate the net periodic benefit cost for May 2024 through December 2024. The rate of compensation increase used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for 2023 was 4.00 %. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was 4.25 %, 7.25 % and 7.00 % respectively. The weighted average discount rates used to determine the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation for 2023 was 5.00 %. In 2024, the weighted average discount rate used to determine the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation, based on plan termination rates, was 4.75 % for annuities and ranged from 4.66 % to 5.57 % for lump sums.

No contributions were made to the qualified pension benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Defined Contribution Plans. The Company also maintains both qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans (“Savings Plan” and “Non-Qualified Savings Plan”, respectively) covering U.S. employees. Under the plans, the Company contributes up to a maximum 3 % of the participants’ compensation based on the contribution percentage of the employee. The Non-Qualified Savings Plan provides compensating savings plan benefits for participants whose benefits have been curtailed under the Savings Plan due to IRC limitations. In addition, effective for new hires (and rehires) on or after April 1, 2010, the Company will contribute between 3 % and 8 % of an employee’s earnings for each payroll period based on the employee’s age. These contributions will be 100 % vested after three years . The Company incurred expenses related to these plans of $ 27 million, $ 26 million and $ 22 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company maintains several defined contribution pension plans covering non-U.S. employees. Each international office maintains a separate plan for the non-U.S. employees working in that location. The Company contributes various amounts based on salary, age and/or years of service. In the current year, the contributions as a percentage of salary for the international offices ranged from 4.3 % to 21.1 %. The contributions are generally used to purchase pension benefits from local insurance providers. The Company incurred expenses related to these plans of $ 14 million, $ 9 million and $ 6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Post-Retirement Plan. The Company sponsors a Retiree Health Plan for employees employed prior to April 1, 2010. This plan provides healthcare benefits for eligible retired employees (and their eligible dependents), who have elected coverage. The Company anticipates that most covered employees will become eligible for these benefits if they retire while working for F-56 Table of Contents the Company. The cost of these benefits is shared with the retiree. The Company accrues the post-retirement benefit expense during the period of the employee’s service. A medical cost trend rate of 7.50 % in 2025 was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.75 % in 2033 and then remain at that level. The post-retirement benefit expenses incurred by the Company were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

INCOME TAXES On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the “2023 Act”), which will apply a 15% corporate income tax to certain Bermuda businesses in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The 2023 Act includes a provision referred to as “The Economic Transition Adjustment” (the “ETA”), which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the new tax regime, and results in a deferred tax benefit for the Company. However, on January 15, 2025, the OECD issued guidance related to “deferred tax assets arising from tax benefits provided by General Government” restricting the utilization of those deferred tax benefits against the computation of its Pillar Two Global Minimum Taxes to approximately 20% of the originally calculated amounts and only for a grace period of two years through 2026. If the Bermuda Ministry of Finance amends the 2023 Act in response to this guidance, the exact impact of any such amendments is uncertain but there is a risk that it results in a reduction in the Company's deferred tax assets. All of the income of Group's non-Bermuda subsidiaries is subject to the applicable federal, foreign, state and local taxes on corporations. Additionally, the income of the foreign branches of the Company's insurance operating companies is subject to various rates of income tax. Group's U.S. subsidiaries conduct business in and are subject to taxation in the U.S. Should the U.S. subsidiaries distribute current or accumulated earnings and profits in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to an accrual of 5 % U.S. withholding tax. There has been no withholding tax accrued with respect to such unremitted earnings as management has no intention of remitting them as of December 31, 2025. The cumulative amount that would be subject to withholding tax, if distributed, is not practicable to compute. The provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) has been determined in accordance with the individual income of each entity and the respective applicable tax laws. The provision reflects the permanent differences between financial and taxable income relevant to each entity. F-58 Table of Contents In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which the Company has adopted effective January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency of income tax reporting by requiring, among other items, further disaggregation of the rate reconciliation and additional information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction as shown in the tables below. The adoption did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The significant components of the provision are as follows for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 Current tax expense (benefit): Bermuda $ 74 Non-Bermuda 265 Total current tax expense (benefit) 339 Deferred tax expense (benefit): Bermuda ( 9 ) Non-Bermuda ( 34 ) Total deferred tax expense (benefit) ( 42 ) Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 296 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.)

At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company’s 2014 through 2018 U.S. Federal tax returns are under audit by the IRS. Over several years, the Company received and responded to a number of Information Document Requests. In 2023, the IRS issued several Notice(s) of Proposed Adjustment and then a draft Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”). In 2024, the Company responded to the RAR with additional information which the IRS has been processing. The IRS requested, and we have signed, an extension of the audit to September 30, 2026. F-61 Table of Contents For tax years 2019, 2020, and 2021, the Statute of Limitations has expired and, thus, the Federal income tax return for those years is no longer subject to IRS examination except to the extent the Company files an amended return. Tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024 are open for examination by the U.S. Federal income tax jurisdiction. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of the temporary differences between the value of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes, and such values are measured by the U.S. tax laws and regulations. The principal items making up the net deferred income tax assets/(liabilities) are as follows for the periods indicated: Years Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Deferred tax assets: Bermuda economic transition adjustment $ 483 $ 536 Loss reserves 342 313 Unearned premium reserves 152 152 Depreciation 64 55 Amortization 41 — Lease liability 36 23 Net operating loss carryforward 24 24 Investment impairments 16 10 Equity compensation 10 10 Foreign tax credits 7 16 Net unrealized investment losses 6 138 Unrealized foreign currency losses — 35 Capital loss carryforward — 14 Other assets 25 21 Total deferred tax assets 1,206 1,347 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred acquisition costs 176 171 Partnership investments 40 43 Right of use asset 32 19 Deferred investment income 20 12 Benefit plan asset 13 — Net fair value income — 74 Other liabilities 25 13 Total deferred tax liabilities 306 332 Net deferred tax assets 900 1,015 Less: Valuation allowance ( 28 ) ( 25 ) Total net deferred tax assets/(liabilities) (1) $ 872 $ 990 (Some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding.) (1) The Company has net current tax receivable and net deferred tax asset of $ 43 million and $ 872 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, totaling to an income tax asset, net of $ 915 million as presented in consolidated balance sheets. The net current tax receivable of $ 43 million represents a gross federal and state tax receivable of $ 118 million offset by foreign tax payable of $ 75 million. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 28 million and $ 25 million of Valuation Allowances (“VA”), respectively. The VA is a result of our conclusion under U.S. GAAP accounting principles that the Australia, Colombia, Italy, France, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, and U.K. jurisdictions could not demonstrate that it was more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized. This was primarily due to factors such as cumulative operating losses in recent years, cumulative capital losses and, therefore, an inability to demonstrate overall profitability within the specific jurisdiction. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an overall increase in its VA of $ 3 million. Tax effected U.K. Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) of $ 12 million do not expire. Tax effected Spanish NOLs of $ 3 million do not expire. The remaining tax effected NOLs of $ 9 million arose in various jurisdictions and do not expire. Note that not all NOLs had a VA up against them. F-62 Table of Contents At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 7 million and $ 16 million respectively of foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards. In 2025, there were approximately no U.S. FTCs and $ 7 million of non-US FTCs. The U.S. FTCs expire in 2034. The non-U.S. FTCs do not expire. The Company follows ASU 2016-09 regarding the treatment of the tax effects of share-based compensation transactions. ASU 2016-09 required that the income tax effects of restricted stock vestings and stock option exercises resulting from the change in value of share-based compensation awards between the grant date and settlement (vesting/exercise) date be recorded as part of income tax expense (benefit) within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Per ASU 2016-09, the Company recorded excess tax benefits related to restricted stock vestings and stock option exercises that were not significant as part of income tax expense (benefit) within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in 2025, 2024 and, 2023, respectively. ASU 2016-09 does not impact the accounting treatment of tax benefits related to dividends on restricted stock. The tax benefits related to the payment of dividends on restricted stock have been recorded as part of additional paid-in capital in the shareholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheets in all years. The tax benefits related to the payment of dividends on restricted stock were $ 0.7 million , $ 0.7 million and $ 0.6 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 18. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION Group and its operating subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions, including the amount of dividends that may be paid and the level of capital that the operating entities must maintain. These regulatory restrictions are based upon statutory capital as opposed to GAAP basis equity or net assets. Group and one of its primary operating subsidiaries, Bermuda Re, are regulated by Bermuda law and its other primary operating subsidiary, Everest Re, is regulated by Delaware law. Bermuda Re is subject to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) administered by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the “BMA”) and Everest Re is subject to the Risk-Based Capital Model (“RBC”) developed by the U.S. National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). These models represent the aggregate regulatory restrictions on net assets and statutory capital and surplus. Dividend Restrictions. Under Bermuda law, Group is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if such payment would reduce the realizable value of its assets to an amount less than the aggregate value of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium (additional paid-in capital) accounts. Group’s ability to pay dividends and its operating expenses is dependent upon dividends from its subsidiaries. Under Bermuda law, Bermuda Re is prohibited from declaring or making payment of a dividend if it fails to meet its minimum solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio. As a long-term insurer, Bermuda Re is also unable to declare or pay a dividend to anyone who is not a policyholder unless, after payment of the dividend, the value of the assets in their long-term business fund, as certified by their approved actuary, exceeds their liabilities for long term business by at least the $ 500,000 minimum solvency margin. Prior approval of the BMA is required if Bermuda Re’s dividend payments would exceed 25 % of their prior year-end total statutory capital and surplus. Bermuda Re prepares its statutory financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles set forth in Bermuda in The Insurance Act 1978, amendments thereto and related regulations.

There are certain regulatory and contractual restrictions on the ability of Holdings’ operating subsidiaries to transfer funds to Holdings in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The insurance laws of the State of Delaware, where Holdings’ direct insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, require regulatory approval before those subsidiaries can pay dividends or make loans or advances to Holdings that exceed certain statutory thresholds. Capital Restrictions. In Bermuda, Bermuda Re is subject to the BSCR administered by the BMA. No regulatory action is taken if an insurer’s capital and surplus is equal to or in excess of their enhanced capital requirement determined by the BSCR model. In addition, the BMA has established a target capital level for each insurer, which is 120% of the enhanced capital requirement. In the United States, Everest Re is subject to the RBC developed by the NAIC which determines an authorized control level risk-based capital. As long as the total adjusted capital is 200% or more of the authorized control level capital, no action is required by the Company. The regulatory targeted capital and the actual statutory capital for Bermuda Re and Everest Re were as follows: Bermuda Re (1) Everest Re (2) At December 31, At December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 ⁽³⁾ 2024 2025 2024 Regulatory targeted capital $ — $ 3,151 $ 5,119 $ 4,799 Actual capital $ 4,209 $ 4,323 $ 8,856 $ 8,126 (1) Regulatory targeted capital represents the target capital level from the applicable year's BSCR calculation. (2) Regulatory targeted capital represents 200% of the RBC authorized control level calculation for the applicable year. (3) The 2025 BSCR calculation is not yet due to be completed; however, the Company anticipates that Bermuda Re's December 31, 2025 actual capital will exceed the targeted capital level. 19.
