| Schedule of significant unobservable inputs used in estimating the fair value of investment securities |
The following tables present significant unobservable inputs used in estimating the fair value of White Mountains’s other long-term investments, classified within Level 3 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The tables below exclude $125.4 million and $250.4 million of Level 3 other long-term investments generally valued based on recent or expected transaction prices. As of December 31, 2025, the Bamboo SPV was measured at fair value based on the value implied in the Bamboo Sale Transaction. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” The fair value of investments in the BroadStreet SPV, private equity funds and hedge funds, bank loan funds, Lloyd’s trust deposits and ILS funds are generally estimated using NAV. Investments for which fair value is measured at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ in Millions | | March 31, 2026 | | Description | | Valuation Technique(s) (1) | | Fair Value (2) | | Unobservable Inputs | | | | | | | Discount Rate (5) | | Terminal Cash Flow Exit Multiple (x) or Terminal Revenue Growth Rate (%) (5) | | | | | | | | | | Kudu’s Participation Contracts (3) (4) | | Discounted cash flow | | $1,352.2 | | 16% - 24% | | 7x - 22x | Bamboo SPV | | Discounted cash flow | | $260.0 | | 16% | | 4% | | PassportCard/DavidShield | | Discounted cash flow | | $170.0 | | 24% | | 4% | Private common shares and units | | Discounted cash flow | | $56.9 | | 22% - 35% | | 3% - 4% | Private preferred securities | | Discounted cash flow | | $35.6 | | 15% | | N/A | | Private debt instruments | | Discounted cash flow | | $16.4 | | 11% - 12% | | N/A | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) Key inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis generally include projections of future revenue and earnings, discount rates and terminal exit multiples or growth rates. (2) Includes the net unrealized investment gains (losses) associated with foreign currency; foreign currency effects based on observable inputs. (3) Since Kudu’s Participation Contracts are not subject to corporate taxes within Kudu Investment Management, LLC, pre-tax discount rates are applied to pre-tax cash flows in determining fair values. The weighted average discount rate and weighted average terminal cash flow exit multiple applied to Kudu’s Participation Contracts was 19% and 14x. (4) In the first three months of 2026, Kudu contributed $25.4 into new and existing Participation Contracts. (5) Increases (decreases) to the discount rates in isolation would result in lower (higher) fair value measurements, while increases (decreases) to the terminal cash flow exit multiples or terminal revenue growth rates in isolation would result in higher (lower) fair value measurements.
