Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited - Financial Highlights for Q1 2026

Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited reported unaudited financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The company experienced a net loss of $55.6 million, a significant decrease from a net income of $36.8 million in the same period of the previous year. This was largely influenced by a reclassification of its investment portfolio from "available for sale" to "trading" following its acquisition by Sompo, which resulted in the recognition of $27 million in cumulative unrealized gains. Gross written premiums decreased to $1,211.5 million from $1,287.2 million, while net earned premiums increased slightly to $723.5 million from $702.7 million. The combined ratio worsened to 89.1% from 96.1%, indicating a less favorable underwriting performance. Total shareholders' equity decreased to $3,296.8 million from $3,625.1 million, partly due to a $300 million dividend paid in March 2026. The company cautioned that these unaudited figures are subject to change and should not be solely relied upon.
