Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to reflect management’s judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.
Our 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 our transactions and the dispositions of our assets; (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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any controls. Our Board and management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Controls, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls are met. Further, we believe that the design of controls must reflect appropriate resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
Ernst & Young Ltd, the independent registered public accountants who audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 and their attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and schedules and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible 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 Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
147
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the 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 financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the 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 account or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Losses Incurred but not Reported
Description of
the Matter
As disclosed in Notes 2 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for unpaid reported losses (Case reserves) and for losses incurred but not reported (IBNR reserves). At December 31, 2024, IBNR reserves represented a significant portion of the $3,532 million of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses.
There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining management’s estimate of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses which is used to establish IBNR reserves. Management estimates its IBNR reserves for large events based upon discussions with brokers and cedants, use of proprietary loss modelling and pricing software, estimates of market loss and market share and experience from historical large events. IBNR reserves for attritional losses are established using actuarial loss reserving techniques. These techniques include the loss development factor method, Bornheutter Ferguson method, the Initial Expected Loss Ratio method, and other techniques. These techniques rely on estimates of paid and reported loss development patterns and estimates of the loss ratio at the inception of the contract. The Company’s actuaries may use other approaches in addition to those described and supplement these methods with judgment depending upon the characteristics of the class of business and available data. Inherent in the estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency, the expected duration of the respective claims development period, inadequacies in the data provided by industry participants, the potential for further reporting lags, significant uncertainty as it relates to legal issues under the relevant terms of insurance and reinsurance contracts and other factors, which may vary significantly as claims are settled.
Auditing management’s estimate for IBNR reserves was complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the high degree of subjectivity inherent in management’s methods and assumptions used in the calculations which have a significant effect on the valuation of IBNR reserves.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant controls over the estimation process for IBNR reserves. This included, among others, evaluating management’s controls over the actuarial methods and assumptions selected to determine their recorded estimate.
To test IBNR reserves, our procedures included, among others, the involvement of actuarial specialists to assist with the evaluation of the Company’s selection of significant actuarial methods and assumptions used in their analysis and a comparison of those methods used in prior periods and those used in the industry. We independently calculated a range of reasonable reserve estimates including performing independent projections and compared the range of reserve estimates to the Company’s recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Basis of Presentation
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and include the accounts of Hamilton Group, Hamilton Re, Hamilton U.K. Holdings Limited, Hamilton Select, HMGA Americas, ACML, and TS Hamilton Fund (collectively the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation . Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
b. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates recorded in the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, premiums written, provisions for estimated future credit losses, the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses and the fair value of investments.
c. Fair Value Measurements
Details on assets and liabilities that have been included under the requirements of authoritative guidance on fair value
measurements to illustrate the bases for determining the fair values of these items held by the Company are included in Note 4, Fair Value and each respective section of this significant accounting policies note.
Where the Company has elected to account for certain of its assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , the Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value in its statements of operations. See Note 2j, Investments for further detail.
d. Premiums and Acquisition Costs
Premiums written and ceded on a losses occurring basis are earned pro-rata over the terms of the related contracts and policies. For contracts written on a risks-attaching basis, premiums written and ceded are earned over the terms of the underlying contracts and policies. Premiums written and ceded include estimates based on information received from insureds, brokers and ceding companies, and any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded in the periods in which they are determined. The portion of the premiums written and ceded applicable to the unexpired terms of the underlying contracts and policies are recorded as unearned premiums and prepaid reinsurance premiums, respectively. Amounts are computed by pro-rata methods based on statistical data or reports received from insureds, brokers or ceding companies. Reinstatement premiums are estimated after the occurrence of a significant loss and are recorded in accordance with the contract terms based upon paid losses and case reserves. Reinstatement premiums are earned when written.
Acquisition expenses are costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the successful acquisition of new or renewal business and consist principally of commissions, brokerage and premium tax expenses. These costs are deferred and amortized over the periods in which the related premiums are earned. Deferred acquisition costs are limited to their estimated realizable value based on the related unearned premiums. Anticipated losses and loss adjustment expenses, based on historical and current experience, and anticipated net investment income related to the premiums are considered in determining the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs.
e. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of fixed maturity and short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable and reinsurance balances recoverable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions of high credit quality, and fixed maturity and short-term investments primarily consist of U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, and high credit quality issuers of corporate and debt securities. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution or issuer and believe that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash and investments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
f. Reinsurance
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the potential amount of loss arising from claims events by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other reinsurers. Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company of its primary obligation to policyholders. Prepaid reinsurance represents the portion of premiums ceded to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired coverage terms of the reinsurance contracts in place. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated based on the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contracts, in a manner consistent with the underlying liabilities insured or reinsured by the Company. If the Company determines that adjustments to earlier estimates are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the periods in which they are determined. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are recorded net of an allowance for expected credit losses. See Note 7, Reinsurance , for further details.
Retroactive reinsurance agreements are reinsurance agreements under which a reinsurer agrees to reimburse the Company as a result of 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 which is amortized into income as a reduction of losses and loss adjustment expenses over the estimated ceded reserve settlement period. The amount of the deferred gain is recalculated each period based on actual loss payments and updated estimates of ultimate losses. If cumulative adverse development occurs subsequent to signing of a retroactive reinsurance agreement, it may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the recalculated deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings. If the consideration paid for a retroactive reinsurance agreement exceeds the ultimate losses collectible under the agreement, the net loss on the retroactive reinsurance agreement is immediately recognized in income.
g. Credit Loss Provisions
The Company routinely evaluates its premiums receivable and paid and unpaid losses recoverable for potential specific credit or collection issues that might indicate an impairment. Premiums receivable and paid and unpaid losses recoverable are presented net of the resulting credit provisions, with the corresponding debits offset against gross premiums written or losses and loss adjustment expenses, as applicable, in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The method for calculating the best estimate of losses depends on the size, nature, and risk characteristics of the related underwriting receivable. Such an estimate requires consideration of historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including historical information, counterparty financial strength ratings and the extent of collateralization. The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments are updated periodically to reflect the Company's view of current conditions. Changes in estimates may significantly affect the allowance and provision for losses. It is possible that the Company's actual credit loss experience will differ materially from current estimates. Adjustments, if any, are recorded in earnings in the periods in which they become known. See Note 7, Reinsurance , for further details.
h. Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for unpaid reported losses and for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). The reserve for unpaid reported losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on reports from insureds, brokers and ceding companies and represents the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to or specifically identified by the Company. The reserve for IBNR losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Inherent in the estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency, the expected duration of the respective claims development period, inadequacies in the data provided by industry participants, the potential for further reporting lags, significant uncertainty as it relates to legal issues under the relevant terms of insurance and reinsurance contracts, and other factors, which may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in earnings in the periods in which they become known. See Note 8, Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses , for further details.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and highly liquid short-term deposits and securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 as these instruments are considered actively traded; however, certificates of deposit are classified as Level 2.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents typically relates to funds held in trust supporting a portion of the Lloyd's capital requirements and other underwriting obligations. See Note 3, Investments , for further details.
j. Investments
Investments - Trading
The Company elects the fair value option for its fixed maturity investments, short-term investments and certain other invested assets (excluding those that are accounted for using specialized investment company accounting as noted below). All changes in the fair value of investments are recorded within net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, Fair Value , for further details.
All investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis and are valued using pricing data received from third parties. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a weighted average basis. Investment income is recognized when earned and includes interest and dividend income, recorded as of the ex-dividend date, together with the amortization of premium and discount on fixed maturities and short-term investments computed using the effective yield method. Net investment income includes related investment expenses.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments comprise securities with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase.
Investments in Two Sigma Funds
TS Hamilton Fund invests in Two Sigma Funds ("Two Sigma Funds"), which are stated at their estimated fair values, which generally represent the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the Two Sigma Funds as reported by the respective funds based on the net asset value ("NAV") provided by the fund administrator. The Company accounts for its investment in Two Sigma Funds under the variable interest model at NAV as a practical expedient for fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Increases or decreases in such fair values are recorded within net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains or losses upon any withdrawals of investments in the Two Sigma Funds are calculated using the weighted average method. The assets and liabilities of the Two Sigma Funds are recorded at fair value, or at amounts approximating fair value. The Company records contributions and withdrawals related to its investments in the Two Sigma Funds on the transaction date.
The specialized investment company accounting, as described above, is retained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements upon consolidation of TS Hamilton Fund.
k. Foreign Exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued into the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses included in earnings. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date.
The Company’s reporting currency as at December 31, 2024 is the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). The functional currency of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries changed from GBP to USD on January 1, 2017. The accumulated other comprehensive loss recorded prior to the change in functional currency will remain on the balance sheet until such time as the U.K. operations are sold, or substantially liquidated.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
l. Share Based Compensation
The Company issues restricted stock units, performance stock units and warrants and may issue other equity-based awards to its employees. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value and expensed over the period for which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For awards subject to graded vesting, the awards are separated into vesting tranches, which are amortized over their respective vesting periods. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
See Note 12, Share Incentive Plans , for further details of the accounting treatment for the Value Appreciation Pool ("VAP").
m. Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets that arise from business combinations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . A purchase price that is in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired arising from a business combination is recorded as goodwill or other intangible assets, according to their nature. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Other intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. All recorded goodwill was written down in the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the annual impairment assessment, and the Company has no recorded goodwill at December 31, 2024 or 2023.
The Company's indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances warrant. Finite lived intangible assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and tested for impairment if appropriate. If indefinite lived intangible assets are impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair value with a corresponding expense recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
As part of the annual impairment test of finite lived intangible assets, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it's necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under this option, the Company would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If finite lived intangible assets are impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair value with a corresponding expense recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
n. Variable Interest Entities
The Company accounts for variable interest entities ("VIE") in accordance with GAAP guidance, which requires the consolidation of all VIEs by the primary beneficiary: the investor that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses or residual returns. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (i) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (ii) the VIE’s capital structure; (iii) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; (iv) which variable interest holders have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (v) which variable interest holders have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; and (vi) related party relationships. The Company reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events. The Company also reassesses its determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon changes in facts and circumstances that could potentially alter the Company’s assessment.
o. Non-Controlling Interest
The share classes related to the redeemable non-controlling interest portion of TS Hamilton Fund are not considered liabilities in accordance with GAAP and have redemption features that are not solely within the control of TS Hamilton Fund. Therefore, the redeemable non-controlling interest in TS Hamilton Fund is presented in the mezzanine section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest is presented separately in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5, Variable Interest Entities , for further details.
F-12
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
p. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Earnings per Share . Basic earnings per share are based on weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and exclude any dilutive effects of restricted stock units and warrants. Diluted earnings per share includes the estimated impact under the Treasury Stock method where all dilutive restricted stock grants to vest and all dilutive warrants to be exercised during the period.
q. Income Taxes
The Company records deferred income taxes that reflect the tax effect of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the fiscal period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if it is not more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the benefits related to deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance assessment considers tax planning strategies, where applicable.
r. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting, which enhances the qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to reportable segments. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes , which enhances the quantitative annual disclosures related to tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid and requires additional qualitative discussion of applicable tax jurisdictions and the nature of certain reconciling items. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which enhances the quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Two Sigma and the Managing Member are related parties to the Company as described further in Note 1, Organization . Effective July 1, 2023, a revised investment management agreement with Two Sigma requires TS Hamilton Fund to incur a management fee of 2.5 % of the non-managing members' equity in the net asset value of the TS Hamilton Fund per annum (previously 3 %). The management fee for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 46.9 million, $ 45.2 million and $ 53.1 million, respectively.
Under the terms of the revised limited liability company agreement between Hamilton Re and the Managing Member, the Managing Member remains entitled to an incentive allocation equal to 30 % of TS Hamilton Fund’s net profits, subject to high watermark provisions, and adjusted for withdrawals and any incentive allocation to the Managing Member. In the event there is a net loss during a quarter and a net profit during any subsequent quarter, the Managing Member is entitled to a modified incentive allocation whereby the regular incentive allocation will be reduced by 50 % until subsequent cumulative net profits are credited in an amount equal to 200 % of the previously allocated net losses. The Managing Member is also entitled to receive a revised additional incentive allocation as of the end of each fiscal year (or on any date Hamilton Re withdraws all or a portion of its capital), in an amount equal to 25 % of the Excess Profits (previously 20 %). "Excess Profits" for any given fiscal year (or other such accounting period) means the net profits over 10 % for such fiscal year (previously 15 %), net of management fees and expenses and gross of incentive allocations, but only after recouping previously unrecouped net losses. To the extent Hamilton Re contributes capital other than at the beginning of a fiscal year or withdraws capital other than at the end of a fiscal year, the additional incentive allocation hurdle with respect to such capital is prorated. The aggregate incentive allocation (inclusive of the additional incentive allocation) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 212.7 million, $ 21.5 million and $ 68.0 million, respectively.
Hamilton Re has a commitment with TS Hamilton Fund to maintain an amount up to the lesser of (i) $ 1.8 billion or
(ii) 60 % of Hamilton Insurance Group’s net tangible assets in TS Hamilton Fund, such lesser amount, the "Minimum Commitment Amount", for a three-year period (the "Initial Term") and for rolling three-year periods thereafter (each such three-year period the "Commitment Period"), subject to certain circumstances and the liquidity options described below, with the Commitment Period ending on June 30, 2027. The Commitment Period consists of a 3-year rolling term that automatically renews on an annual basis unless Hamilton Re or the Managing Member provide advance notice of non-renewal.
The TS Hamilton Fund generally has two liquidity options, subject to Hamilton Re’s minimum investment commitment, which are as follows:
• Monthly liquidity - Subject to certain conditions, Hamilton Re may request a whole or partial withdrawal of its capital account, no later than fifteen days prior to the end of a calendar month, effective as of the last day of such calendar month.
• Daily liquidity - Subject to certain limited circumstances, including the need to meet obligations pursuant to Hamilton Re’s underwriting operations, Hamilton Re may request a withdrawal of all or a portion of its capital account upon at least one business day’s written notice of such withdrawal request date to the Managing Member.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
At its discretion, the Managing Member may permit or require Hamilton Re to withdraw all or any portion of its respective capital account at other times, or waive or reduce certain notice periods, or allow a notice to be revoked. The Managing Member may withdraw all or any portion of its capital account at any time.

4. Fair Value
Financial Instruments Subject to Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidance over fair value measurements requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the "exit price"). Instruments that the Company owns are marked to bid prices.
Basis of Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurement accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
• Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value - Fixed Maturity and Short-term Investments
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity and short-term investments by asset class:
• U.S. government treasuries : fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances and benchmark yields;
• U.S. states, territories and municipalities : fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads;
• Non-U.S. sovereign governments and supranationals : fair value 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, converted to U.S. Dollars using an exchange rate from a nationally recognized source;
• Corporate : fair value 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 value 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; and
• Short-term investments : fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances and benchmark yields.

5. Variable Interest Entities
TS Hamilton Fund
TS Hamilton Fund meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") principally because the Managing Member does not hold substantive equity at risk in the entity but controls all of the decision making authority over it. Therefore, the Company assessed its ownership in the VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary. The Managing Member is a related party to the Company and collectively they hold all of the variable interest. The Company performed an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances and determined that it is the entity within the related party group for whom substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted. As a result, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of TS Hamilton Fund.
Activity in the non-controlling interest of TS Hamilton Fund was as follows:

7. Reinsurance
The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain loss and loss adjustment expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. Amounts recoverable under reinsurance contracts are recorded as assets. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurance company fails to meet its obligations.
The following tables set forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred:

Net $ 1,010,173 $ 714,603 $ 758,333
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Premiums receivable, paid losses recoverable, and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable comprise the Company's most significant credit exposures not carried at fair value. The Company has not historically experienced significant credit losses. In determining an allowance for these assets, the Company considers historical information in combination with counterparty financial strength ratings and the extent to which balances are collateralized. The Company assesses the risk of future default by evaluating current market conditions for the likelihood of default and calculates its provision for current expected credit losses under the probability of default and loss given default methodology.
Premiums Receivable
Premiums receivable are estimated based on policy terms and reports received from the underlying counterparties, supplemented by management's judgment. Due to the nature of the (re)insurance business, the Company routinely receives reports and premiums subsequent to the inception of the coverage period. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s premiums receivable balance, net of credit provisions of $ 3.0 million, was $ 771.7 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s premiums receivable balance, net of credit provisions of $ 3.0 million, was $ 658.4 million.

Loss Portfolio Transfer
On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer agreement (the "LPT"), under which the insurance liabilities arising from certain casualty risks for the Lloyd's Years of Account ("YOA") 2016, 2017 and 2018 were retroceded to a third party in exchange for total premium of $ 72.1 million. This transaction was accounted for as retroactive reinsurance under which cumulative ceded losses exceeding the LPT premium are recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. The amount of the deferral is recalculated each reporting period based on updated ultimate loss estimates. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to the signing of the LPT may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings.

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses due under this LPT was $ 23.7 million and $ 49.8 million, respectively. Amortization of the deferred gain was an expense of $ 9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and income of $ 4.2 million and $ 1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was recorded through losses and loss adjustment expenses in accordance with the actual loss payments and updated estimates of ultimate losses of the subject business.
Catastrophe Bond Reinsurance
In December 2023, Hamilton Group sponsored an industry loss index-triggered catastrophe bond through the issuance of Series 2024-1 Class A Principal-at-Risk Variable Rate Notes by Bermuda-domiciled Easton Re Ltd. ("Easton Re"), which provide the Company's operating platforms with multi-year risk transfer capacity of $ 200 million to protect against named storm risk in the United States and earthquake risk in the United States and Canada. The risk period for Easton Re is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The Company recorded reinsurance premiums ceded of $ 14.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

(also "Easton Re"). Easton Re provided the Company's operating platforms with multi-year risk transfer capacity of $ 150 million to protect against named storm and earthquake risk in the United States. The risk period for Easton Re was from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The Company recorded reinsurance premiums ceded $ 7.2 million and $ 6.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net favorable prior year development of $ 20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, was comprised of $ 21.2 million of favorable prior year development on catastrophe losses, partially offset by $ 0.8 million of unfavorable prior year development on attritional losses. See below for further details:
• Net favorable development of $ 37.5 million on property contracts, primarily driven by favorable prior year development on catastrophe losses and overall lower than expected claims development across various classes; partially offset by
• Net unfavorable development of $ 14.2 million on casualty contracts, primarily driven by higher than expected claims development across certain classes and unfavorable development of one specific large loss;
• Net unfavorable development of $ 8.8 million on specialty contracts, primarily driven by two specific large losses; and
• In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance , benefited from favorable development in the underlying reserves of $ 15.3 million, which was partially offset by a change in the deferred gain of $ 9.4 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $ 5.9 million.
Net favorable prior year development of $ 15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was comprised of $ 10.4 million and $ 5.2 million of favorable prior year development on attritional and catastrophe losses, respectively. See below for further details:
• Net favorable development of $ 18.6 million on specialty contracts, driven by lower loss estimates across various classes; partially offset by
• Net unfavorable development of $ 4.6 million on property contracts, primarily driven by higher than expected claims related to Winterstorm Elliott and development on certain attritional claims, including claims arising from exited classes of business;
• Net unfavorable development of $ 3.4 million on casualty contracts, reflecting modest unfavorable development on certain classes of business; and

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
• In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance , benefited from $ 4.2 million in amortization of the associated deferred gain and favorable development in the underlying reserves of $ 0.8 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $ 5.0 million.
Net favorable prior year development of $ 20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of $ 17.4 million and $ 3.2 million of favorable prior year development on catastrophe and attritional losses, respectively. See below for further details:
• Net favorable development of $ 36.9 million on specialty contracts, driven by reductions in loss estimates across multiple classes;
• Net favorable development of $ 0.4 million on property contracts, related to $ 9.5 million of favorable development on Hurricane Ida that was partially offset by $ 7.0 million of unfavorable attritional loss development and $ 2.1 million of unfavorable development on various other catastrophes; partially offset by
• Net unfavorable development of $ 23.7 million on casualty contracts, primarily related to discontinued business; and
• In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance , recorded favorable gross development which was partially offset by amortization of the associated deferred gain, resulting in a net positive earnings impact of $ 7.0 million.
Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses related to the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance was recognized in the reconciliation of beginning and ending gross and net loss and LAE reserves.
Acquisition Costs
The Company amortized acquisition costs of $ 388.9 million, $ 309.1 million and $ 271.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Baltimore Bridge
Our net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the Francis Scott Key Baltimore Bridge collapse on March 26, 2024 are subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net recorded reserves
totaled $ 34.8 million and $ Nil , respectively.
Ukraine Conflict
Our net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the ongoing Ukraine conflict are also subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net recorded reserves totaled $ 63.2 million and $ 64.9 million, respectively.
Covid-19
Our Covid-19 losses are also subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, our net recorded reserves relating to Covid-19 totaled $ 13.3 million and $ 14.1 million, respectively.
While the Company believes, based on current facts and circumstances, that its estimates of net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate for losses and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred at December 31, 2024, the Company will continue to monitor its assumptions as new information becomes available and will adjust its estimate of net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses as appropriate. Actual ultimate losses for these events may differ materially from the Company's current estimates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Reserving
The Company's reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses consists of case reserves and IBNR reserves. Case reserves are reserves for reported losses and loss adjustment expenses that have not yet been settled. IBNR are reserves for incurred but not reported losses and loss adjustment expenses, and include reserves for reported losses in excess of case reserves.
Case Reserves
For reinsurance business, the Company typically receives loss notifications from its cedants in the form of loss bordereaux or individual loss notifications. These notifications generally include varying amounts of information about the nature and quantum of the loss, including paid amounts and estimates of outstanding loss. The Company records the estimates of outstanding loss from its cedants as case reserves. Typically there is a timing lag between the cedant establishing a reserve and notifying the loss to the Company. In addition, different cedants have different claims handling practices which result in case reserve estimates that vary in the level of embedded prudence.
For insurance business, the Company records a case reserve for the estimated amount of settlement. This amount is based on the judgment of the Company’s claims team and takes into account the class of business, nature of the claim and, if appropriate, the advice of specialist legal counsel and external loss adjusters, and includes the estimated expenses of settling the claim, such as legal and other fees. The Company may sometimes use third party claims administrators to handle claims and set case reserves, within defined authority levels and service level agreements. In syndicated markets such as Lloyd’s, the Company’s case reserve will be based in part on information provided by the lead insurer, where the Company is not an agreement party. Any adjustments to case reserves are accounted for as changes in estimates and recorded in the period in which such changes are identified.
IBNR Reserves
The Company establishes IBNR reserves for large events based on a number of different factors, including discussions with brokers and cedants, proprietary loss modelling and pricing software, estimates of market loss and market share, experience from historical large events and other information that can guide the estimates of loss reserves. The Company's actuaries may use other approaches in addition to those described, and supplement these methods with judgement where they deem appropriate, depending upon the characteristics of the class of business and available data. These estimates are reviewed periodically as new information emerges.
IBNR reserves for attritional losses are established using actuarial loss reserving techniques. These techniques include the loss development factor method, Bornheutter Ferguson method, the Initial Expected Loss Ratio method, and other techniques. These techniques rely on estimates of paid and reported loss development patterns and estimates of the loss ratio at the inception of the contract. The Company’s actuaries review the estimates of IBNR reserves on a quarterly basis and adjust the estimates as new information becomes available. Any such adjustments are accounted for as changes in estimates and recorded in the periods in which they become known.
To establish IBNR reserves for attritional losses, contracts are grouped into cohorts, or reserving classes, that have similar coverage, inception period and loss reporting characteristics. The paid and reported losses for these reserving classes are tracked over time against expectations and against the actuarial loss reserving indications and IBNR reserve selected for each cohort.
Claims Development and Frequency
For incurred and paid accident year claims denominated in foreign currency, the Company used the current year-end balance sheet foreign exchange rate for all periods provided, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates from the incurred and paid accident year claims development information included in the following tables.
In determining the cumulative number of reported claims, the Company measures claim counts on its insurance business by individual claimant where information is available. The claim counts include all claims reported where the Company has identified a potential liability for the claim even if there is no existing reserve. Reinsurance business is typically written under either proportional (quota share arrangements) or non-proportional arrangements (excess of loss or other facultative covers).
F-28
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company typically does not have direct access to claim frequency information underlying its assumed quota share arrangements, given the nature of that business. In addition, multiple claims are often aggregated by the ceding company before being reported to the Company. The Company generally does not use claim frequency information in the determination of loss reserves or for other internal purposes relating to proportional business. In addition, the nature, size, terms and conditions of contracts entered into by the Company may change from one accident year to the next and the quantum of contractual or policy limits, and accordingly, the potential amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses associated with a reported claim, can range from nominal to significant, and therefore the Company does not believe providing claims frequency information is practicable as it relates to its proportional business.
The Company has developed claims frequency information associated with its non-proportional reinsurance contracts. In determining claims frequency for its excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts, claims counts include all claims reported by each insured where a reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses has been recorded. The Company has assumed that claims below the loss layer of a contract are excluded; if an insured's claim impacts multiple layers of a contract, the Company considers each impact to be a separate claim, and for an insured loss impacting more than one operating subsidiary, each impact is considered a separate claim.

9. Segment Reporting
The Company has determined its reportable business segments based on the information used by management in assessing performance and allocating resources to underwriting operations and has identified two reportable business segments - International and Bermuda. Each of the Company's identified reportable segments has a Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for the overall profitability of their segment and who regularly reports and is directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"): the Chief Executive Officer of the consolidated group. The CODM's responsibilities include providing leadership to all levels of employees; developing culture, values, and ethos; setting the Company's strategy, vision and direction; and overall responsibility for the success and profitability of the Company, including evaluating segment performance.
The CODM evaluates reportable segment performance based on the segments' respective underwriting income or loss. Underwriting income or loss is calculated as net premiums earned less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses, net of third party fee income. General and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments are included in corporate and other expenses as part of the reconciliation of net underwriting income or loss to net income or loss attributable to common shareholders. As the Company does not manage its assets by reportable segment, investment income and assets are not allocated to reportable segments.
The Company's core business is underwriting and its underwriting results are reflected in its reportable segments: (1) International, which is comprised of property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from the Company’s London, Dublin, and Hamilton Select operations; and (2) Bermuda, which is comprised of property, casualty, and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from Hamilton Re, Bermuda and Hamilton Re US and subsidiaries. The Company considers many factors, including the nature of each segment’s products, client types, production sources, distribution methods and the regulatory environment, in determining the aggregated operating segments.
Corporate includes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net investment income (loss), other income (loss) not incurred by the reportable segments, net foreign exchange gains (losses), general and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments, impairment of goodwill, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit).

10. Debt and Credit Facilities
Debt
On June 23, 2022, Hamilton Group renewed its unsecured $ 150 million term loan credit arrangement, as amended from time to time (the "Facility"), with various lenders as arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. All or a portion of the loan issued under the Facility bears interest at either (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (b) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus the Applicable Margin, at Hamilton Group's discretion. In the event of default, an additional 2 % interest in excess of (a) or (b) will be levied, not to exceed the highest rate permissible under applicable law, and certain types of loans may not be available for borrowing by Hamilton Group under the Facility. The Facility matures on June 23, 2025, unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Facility, and it contains usual and customary representations, warranties, conditions and covenants for bank loan facilities of this type. The Facility also contains certain financial covenants which cap the ratio of consolidated debt to capital and require that Hamilton Group maintain a certain minimum consolidated net worth. The net worth requirement is recalculated effective as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants .
The following table presents the gross outstanding loan balance, loan fair value and unamortized loan issuance costs:
December 31,
($ in thousands) 2024 2023
Outstanding loan balance $ 150,000 $ 150,000
Loan fair value 150,463 150,981
Unamortized loan issuance costs $ 55 $ 170
Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period during which the Facility is outstanding, as an offset to net investment income (loss). The Company amortized debt issuance costs of $ 0.1 million or less in each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s debt is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it is valued using an income approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow technique that considers the credit profile of the Company.
Credit Facilities

In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, limit a shareholder’s voting rights when it deems it appropriate to do so to avoid certain material adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any direct or indirect shareholder or its affiliates.

Value Appreciation Pool Restricted Stock Units
The VAP, which was granted by a then nonpublic company, was initially measured as a liability award at intrinsic value and no compensation cost was recorded over the period December 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023. On May 15, 2023, the Company became a public business entity and the VAP was remeasured at fair value. The fair value of the compensation cost was estimated at each reporting date and expensed over the period for which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, with any changes recorded in compensation expense by a cumulative catch-up adjustment.
The Company consummated an IPO of its Class B common shares and, on November 10, 2023, closed its first day of trading. In accordance with the Compensation Committee's decision that the VAP award would be settled in shares if triggered by an IPO, the VAP became subject to equity award accounting. The VAP RSUs vest in two tranches, subject to continued service: 50 % on each of the first and second anniversaries of the November 10, 2023 trigger event. Participants who leave prior to vesting forfeit any previously unsettled portion of their awards.
The Company recorded a compensation expense of $ 9.2 million and $ 34.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of the total expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023, $ 4.2 million was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings in "Share compensation expense" in the second quarter of 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted PSUs that vest over three years and entitle participants to between 0 - 200 % of the target award.

Prior to August 7, 2024, the PSU performance payout calculation was subject to specified adjustments and was ultimately adjustable at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The fair value of awards with performance conditions was remeasured at each reporting period with any changes in the expected outcome of the performance conditions recorded in compensation expense by a cumulative adjustment to apply the revised estimate. On August 7, 2024, the Compensation Committee formally ceded their discretion over the ultimate settlement of the PSUs and a grant date fair value of $ 15.47 was established for all PSU awards outstanding at that date.

14. Income Taxes
Hamilton Group and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries were not subject to income tax in Bermuda in 2023 and prior. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that generally became effective on January 1, 2025. The legislation defers the effective date until 2030 for Bermuda companies that meet certain requirements. Hamilton Group expects to meet the requirements to remain exempt until 2030. The legislation includes a provision referred to as the economic transition adjustment, which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime. As of December 31, 2024, the Company holds a deferred tax asset of $ 35.4 million relating to economic transition adjustment on its balance sheet, which it expects to utilize to reduce future taxes paid. The Company expects to incur increased taxes beginning in 2030.
Hamilton Group has global subsidiaries and branches that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which Hamilton Group’s subsidiaries and branches are currently subject to tax are the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.

Accordingly, for the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company revalued all of its U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities that were expected to reverse after December 31, 2023. Revaluations of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized until January 1, 2024, when both the current and deferred tax rates were 25%. The revaluation of the deferred tax assets resulted in a tax expense (benefit) of $ 0.0 million , $ 0.3 million and $( 2.7 ) million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The financial statement impact of the rate changes were offset in each period by a valuation allowance, resulting in a related net tax expense (benefit) after valuation allowance of $ Nil , $ 0.1 million, and $( 0.2 ) million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for tax purposes. The following table presents Hamilton Group’s significant deferred tax assets and liabilities:

($ in thousands) 2024 2023

Valuation allowance ( 63,032 ) ( 75,528 )
Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ 21,204 $ 19,698
Hamilton Group records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense (benefit) in the period of change. When evaluating the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, the Company considers the relevant impact of all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results and forecasts of future taxable income. A significant piece of objectively verifiable negative evidence considered in the Company’s evaluation is a three-year cumulative pre-tax loss. Based on all available evidence, management has concluded that a valuation allowance of $ 63.0 million should be recorded against all deferred tax assets in the U.K., the U.S. and Ireland, net of any reversing tax liabilities, as of December 31, 2024. Future realization of the Company’s deferred tax asset will ultimately depend on the existence of objectively verifiable positive evidence including sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (ordinary income versus capital gains) within the applicable carry-forward periods provided under the tax law.

The Company had the following net operating loss carry-forwards, inclusive of cumulative currency translation adjustments:

United States 15,501 3,255 2042-2044
United Kingdom $ 182,360 $ 45,590 No expiry
Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2024, the Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions that, if challenged on technical merits, would cause a material effect on the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.
Hamilton Group classifies all interest and penalties on income taxes as part of income tax expense (benefit). During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any interest income or expense. There was no accrued interest as of December 31, 2024. With few exceptions, Hamilton Group is no longer subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal or state examinations before 2021 or non-U.S. tax examinations before 2020.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Concentrations of Credit Risks
Credit risk arises out of the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. Instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of fixed maturity and short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable and reinsurance balances recoverable. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and, except for the securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government related entities, none of the Company’s fixed maturity and short-term investments exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers, whom primarily consist of highly rated reinsurers and may require collateralization of those recoverable balances. See Note 2g, Credit Loss Provisions and Note 7, Reinsurance , for further details.

Operating Leases
The Company leases office space under operating leases in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. These leases expire at various dates through 2030, with a weighted average lease term of 2.5 years. As a result of the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02 Leases , the balance sheet reflects a $ 9.1 million and $ 6.9 million right of use asset in " Other assets " and a discounted lease liability of $ 9.2 million and $ 6.7 million in " Accounts payable and accrued expenses ", as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The discounted lease liability was calculated with reference to weighted average discount rates of 5.30 % and 3.75 % as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Leases including renewal options are recorded on the balance sheet when management is reasonably certain the options will be exercised. Operating lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 3.4 million, $ 3.8 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under the leases are expected to be as follows:

17. Statutory Requirements
The Company is subject to the laws and statutory requirements of each jurisdiction in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. These laws establish the Company's applicable minimum required statutory capital and surplus requirements and govern its ability to pay dividends. The minimum required statutory capital and surplus is the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements based on the Company’s current operations. The difference between statutory financial statements and statements prepared in accordance with GAAP varies by jurisdiction; however, the primary difference is that statutory financial statements generally do not reflect goodwill or intangible assets.
Group
The Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") is the Company's group supervisor and its group capital and solvency requirements determine the minimum capital thresholds that Hamilton Group must meet. Hamilton Group is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries to pay its operating and financing expenses.
The actual and minimum required statutory capital and surplus for the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries by regulatory jurisdiction were as follows:
Bermuda (1)
United Kingdom (2)
Ireland (3)
United States (4)
As at December 31,
($ in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023

____________
(1) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2024 for the Bermuda operating subsidiary is required to be maintained at the greater of a minimum solvency margin ("MSM"), as disclosed in the table above, and the Enhanced Capital Requirement ("ECR"), where applicable.
(2) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2024 for the U.K. operating entities is determined by reference to the entities' Solvency Capital Requirement and the Solvency II capital regime. U.K. operations are subject to Lloyd’s requirements where underwriting members hold acceptable FAL and/or Syndicates hold acceptable Funds In Syndicate ("FIS") for their own account, in support of the total actual statutory capital and surplus amount. Actual statutory capital and surplus is comprised of an Economic Capital Assessment ("ECA"), derived from an approved Solvency II basis Internal model, less any accumulated trading surpluses or plus any accumulated trading deficits, as calculated on a Solvency II basis.
(3) The Company's Irish operations are subject to the Solvency II regime, which requires insurance companies to hold assets that cover at least the best estimate of insurance liabilities, a risk margin, plus a risk-based Solvency Capital Requirement designed to protect against extreme stress events.
(4) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2024 for U.S. operating subsidiaries is determined with reference to the Company Action Level Risk-Based Capital requirements.
The statutory net income (loss) for the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries by regulatory jurisdiction was as follows:

Bermuda Operations
Hamilton Re is subject to the requirements of the Insurance Act 1978, amendments thereto and Related Regulations of Bermuda (the "Insurance Act"). As a Class 4 (re)insurer, Hamilton Re must maintain capital at the greater of their MSM and their ECR, which are established by reference to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model. The Insurance Act also requires Hamilton Re to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity.
Independent of the Insurance Act, the BMA has also established a target capital level ("TCL") for Class 4 (re)insurers, equal to 120% of their ECR. The TCL serves as an early warning tool for the BMA and failure to maintain statutory capital at least equal to the TCL will likely result in increased regulatory oversight. Hamilton Re's actual capital and surplus levels exceed the TCL at December 31, 2024.
F-56
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Hamilton Re's BSCR for the year ended December 31, 2024 must be filed with the BMA by April 30, 2025. As a result, the required statutory capital and surplus disclosed as of December 31, 2024 is based on the MSM. At December 31, 2024, the actual statutory capital and surplus of Hamilton Re was $ 2.2 billion and the MSM was $ 739.6 million.
Hamilton Re received approval from the BMA to treat its investment in TS Hamilton Fund as a "Relevant Asset" for the purpose of computing its "Liquidity Ratio" (under which relevant assets must be maintained at not less than 75% of relevant liabilities) in respect of 2024. Hamilton Re is in compliance with the Liquidity Ratio at December 31, 2024.
Under the Insurance Act, Hamilton Re is restricted as to the payment of dividends and/or distributions for amounts greater than 25% of the prior year’s statutory capital and surplus. In addition, before reducing its total statutory capital by 15% or more (as set out in its previous year's statutory financial statements), as a Class 4 Bermuda insurance subsidiary, Hamilton Re must apply to the BMA for permission to do so. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Hamilton Re had capacity to pay dividends of $ 470.7 million without prior approval under Bermuda law, of which $ 184.5 million of dividends were paid during the year. It is estimated that Hamilton Re will have capacity to pay dividends of $ 542.0 million in 2025.
United Kingdom Operations
A U.K. company’s ability to propose and pay dividends is dependent upon U.K. law and may require the approval of a local regulatory body where a minimum capital requirement applies.
As discussed in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies , Lloyd’s bases the capital funding requirements of the Company's corporate members on their latest approved Economic Capital Assessments. As of December 31, 2024, actual levels of solvency, liquidity, and capital were in compliance with the Lloyd's requirements.
Following distributions received from Hamilton Syndicate 4000, profits arising in HCML are available for distribution subject to U.K. law. Profits arising in HMA, which is subject to Lloyds' oversight and regulation by both the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA") and the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), are available for distribution subject to U.K. law and the preservation of a minimum capital requirement calculated with reference to Lloyd's capital tests.
The PRA regulatory requirements impose no explicit restrictions on the U.K. subsidiaries' ability to pay a dividend, but the Company must notify the PRA 28 days prior to any proposed dividend payment. Dividends may only be distributed from profits available for distribution. It is estimated that Hamilton's U.K. subsidiaries will have capacity to pay dividends of $ 5.0 million in 2025.
Ireland Operations
HIDAC is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") pursuant to the Insurance Acts 1909 to 2018 (as amended), the Central Bank Acts 1942 to 2018 and all statutory instruments relating to insurance made or adopted under the European Communities Acts 1972 to 2012, including the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) and the Solvency II regime. HIDAC is required to maintain the Minimum Capital Requirement ("MCR") and the Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR") at all times. Capital requirements are calculated by reference to Solvency II definitions. If an entity falls below the MCR or SCR, the CBI is authorized to take action to restore the financial position of the subsidiary. HIDAC was at all times in compliance with these requirements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The amount of dividends that HIDAC is permitted to distribute is restricted to accumulated realized profits that have not been capitalized or distributed, less accumulated realized losses that have not been written off. The solvency and capital requirements must still be met subsequent to any distribution. As at December 31, 2024, HIDAC did not have retained profits available for distribution.
United States Operations
The Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiary is registered in Delaware and subject to restrictions on statutory net income and statutory surplus as determined in accordance with the relevant statutory accounting requirements established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, subject to state modifications thereof. They are also required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory authorities prepared in accordance with statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by such authorities. The U.S. insurance subsidiary is also generally required to maintain minimum levels of solvency and liquidity as determined by law and regulation, comply with regulatory capital requirements and licensing rules.
F-57
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Delaware law provides that an insurance company which is a member of an insurance holding company system and is domiciled in the state shall not pay dividends without giving prior notice to the Insurance Commissioner of Delaware and may not pay dividends without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner if the value of the proposed dividend, together with all other dividends and distributions made in the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of statutory surplus or (2) net income, not including realized capital gains, each as reported in the prior year’s statutory annual statement. In addition, no dividend may be paid in excess of unassigned earned surplus. As at December 31, 2024, the Company's U.S. insurance subsidiary did not have retained profits available for distribution.
18 . Subsequent Events
California Wildfires
The Company estimates that losses from the California wildfires, net of reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, will be in the range of $ 120 million to $ 150 million, based on an insured industry loss range of $ 35 billion to $ 45 billion. The level of uncertainty within the Company’s loss estimates is increased by the recent occurrence of the event and the preliminary nature of the information available, among other factors. The estimated losses for this event will be reported in the Company’s first quarter 2025 financial results.
