Segment Information Segment Information
 
As of March 31, 2025, White Mountains conducted its operations through four reportable segments: (1) Ark/WM Outrigger, (2) HG Global, (3) Kudu and (4) Bamboo, with its remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the Company’s CODMs and the Board of Directors. The Company’s CODMs are its Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Financial Officer. The CODMs utilize each segment’s pre-tax income (loss) in assessing each segment’s performance and allocating resources. Other measures of segment profitability are also reviewed by the CODMs. Significant intercompany transactions among White Mountains’s segments have been eliminated herein.
Effective July 1, 2024, White Mountains no longer consolidates BAM. Through June 30, 2024, BAM’s results of operations were presented within the HG Global segment. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”
The following tables present White Mountains’s pre-tax financial results by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
