Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(unaudited – in US$ and $ millions except per share amounts and as otherwise indicated)
1.    Business Operations
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“the company” or “Fairfax”) is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in property and casualty insurance and reinsurance and the associated investment management. The holding company is federally incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada.
2.    Basis of Presentation
These interim consolidated financial statements of the company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures typically included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the company’s Board of Directors on July 30, 2026.
3.    Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied to the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are as set out in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Those policies and methods of computation have been consistently applied to all periods presented except as described below.
New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2026
On January 1, 2026 the company adopted Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), which did not have a significant impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 is to be applied retrospectively, with specific transition provisions, for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. The company does not expect to adopt IFRS 18 in advance of its effective date and is currently evaluating its impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. IFRS 18 requirements and adoption details are described in the company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to IAS 28)
On June 26, 2026 the IASB issued narrow scope amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to clarify that entities with a main business activity of investing in particular types of assets under IFRS 18 may elect, at initial recognition of an investment in associate or joint venture, to measure the investment at fair value through profit or loss rather than apply the equity method. The amendments are effective concurrently with the adoption of IFRS 18, for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. Additionally, on initial application of IFRS 18, an eligible entity may make a one-time election, for each of its investments in associates and joint ventures, to change the measurement basis from the equity method to fair value through profit or loss, with the change applied retrospectively. The company is currently assessing whether to change the measurement basis of any of its investments in associates and joint ventures upon adoption of IFRS 18 and the effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
4.    Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
In these interim consolidated financial statements management has made critical estimates and judgments in determining: (i) the measurement of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held (notes 8 and 9 respectively); (ii) the fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (note 5); and (iii) the classification of investments in associates (note 6), in a manner consistent with that described in the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(3)    Includes the company's investments in first mortgage loans at June 30, 2026 of $5,654.5 (December 31, 2025 - $5,402.5) secured by real estate predominantly in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
(4)    Includes U.S. treasury bonds at June 30, 2026 of $301.3 (December 31, 2025 - $705.7) with maturities in 1 year or less, $5,439.5 (December 31, 2025 - $7,372.2) with maturities between 1 to 3 years, $14,844.2 (December 31, 2025 - $11,575.7) with maturities between 3 to 5 years and $140.2 (December 31, 2025 - $372.1) with maturities between 5 to 7 years.

The decrease in the company's holdings of bonds due in 1 year or less was primarily due to net sales and maturities of corporate and other bonds of $1,555.5, Canadian government bonds of $898.9, U.S. treasury bonds of $871.9 and other government bonds of $584.6, partially offset by the passage of time shifting bonds from 1 through 3 years. The increase in the company's holdings of bonds due after 1 year through 3 years was primarily due to net purchases of Canadian government bonds of $1,501.4, other government bonds of $1,068.2 and corporate and other bonds of $839.0, partially offset by the net sales of U.S. treasury bonds of $1,949.7 and the passage of time impacting their earliest maturity dates. The increase in the company's holdings of bonds due after 3 years through 5 years was primarily due to net purchases of U.S. treasury bonds of $3,884.9, other government bonds of $944.0 and Canadian government bonds of $512.8. The decrease in the company's holdings of bonds due after 5 years through 10 years was primarily due to the passage of time impacting their earliest maturity dates. The increase in the company's holdings of bonds due after 10 years was primarily due to the receipt of $716.0 of newly issued securities pursuant to the privatization of Kennedy Wilson as described in note 6.

(2)    On May 29, 2026 the company sold 23.1% of its 45.3% equity interest in Poseidon for cash consideration of $28.30 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,907.1, which decreased the company's equity interest to 22.2%. Accordingly, the company recorded a realized gain of $838.4 in the consolidated statement of earnings. The company continues to apply the equity method of accounting to the retained portion of its investment in Poseidon.
(3)    On June 16, 2026 all of the outstanding common shares of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“Kennedy Wilson”) not already owned by the company and certain senior executives of Kennedy Wilson (the “Consortium”) were acquired by Kona Bidco, LLC ("Kona Bidco"), a newly formed holding company established by the Consortium. Kona Bidco acquired the common shares of Kennedy Wilson for $10.90 per share in cash, funded principally by $1.3 billion of acquisition financing obtained by Kona Bidco, in respect of which the company provided a standby guarantee enforceable upon certain payment default events. Concurrently, the company invested cash of $400.0, and contributed its holdings of Kennedy Wilson preferred shares with a fair value of $316.0 and its Kennedy Wilson common shares with a fair value of $145.2, for: (i) Kona Bidco mandatorily redeemable preferred shares with a fair value of $716.0, which the company recorded as bonds; and (ii) Kona Bidco common shares with a fair value of $145.2, which the company recorded as an investment in associate. Although the company received a majority economic interest through its Kona Bidco investments, it does not have power over Kona Bidco’s relevant activities to exercise control. Accordingly, the company concluded that it has significant influence over Kona Bidco and commenced applying the equity method of accounting to its indirect equity interest in Kennedy Wilson.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026

Long equity total return swaps
At June 30, 2026 the company held long equity total return swaps on individual equities for investment purposes with an original notional amount of $849.6 (December 31, 2025 - $981.6), which included an aggregate of 1,341,560 (December 31, 2025 - 1,760,355) Fairfax subordinate voting shares with an original notional amount of $532.0 (Cdn$674.4) or $396.59 (Cdn$502.68) per share (December 31, 2025 - $664.0 (Cdn$846.1) or $377.19 (Cdn$480.62) per share) that produced net losses of $91.0 and $432.8 during the second quarter and first six months of 2026 (2025 - net gains of $547.9 and $645.1).
During the second quarter and first six months of 2026, net losses of $91.0 and $432.8 were comprised of net change in unrealized losses of $580.2 and $933.8, partially offset by net realized gains of $489.2 and $501.0. The net realized gains primarily reflected cash-settlement of $516.6 on the closure of long equity total return swaps on 418,795 Fairfax subordinate voting shares during the second quarter of 2026, which had an original notional amount of $132.0 (Cdn$171.7). During the second quarter and first six months of 2025, net gains of $547.9 and $645.1 were comprised of net change in unrealized gains of $523.1 and $597.6 and net realized gains of $24.8 and $47.5.
Foreign currency derivative contracts
Foreign currency forward contracts
Long and short foreign currency forward contracts, primarily denominated in the euro, British pound sterling and Canadian dollar, are principally used to economically hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates that primarily affect the company’s foreign currency denominated investments. These contracts have an average term to maturity of less than one year and may be renewed at market rates.
During the second quarter and first six months of 2026 the company recorded net gains on foreign currency contracts of $146.9 and $344.7 (2025 - net losses of $251.0 and $285.0) primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and euro.

Discount rates
Cash flows are discounted using risk-free yield curves, adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the cash flows and the liquidity of the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. The company determines the yield curves using commercially available currency-specific rates and illiquidity premiums.
The tables below set out the primary yield curves that were used to discount the cash flows of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held for currencies in which the company's insurance revenue is principally based.

Concurrently, the company will purchase a 45.0% equity interest in Eurobank’s Cyprus non-life insurance company ERB Asfalistiki (“ERBA”) for cash consideration of approximately $68 (€59.0), with an option to acquire the remainder of ERBA in the future. The proposed transactions are subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and are expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

15.    Financial Risk Management
Overview
There were no significant changes to the company's risk exposures, including underwriting risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and various market risks, or the processes used by the company for managing those risk exposures, at June 30, 2026 compared to those identified and discussed in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Middle East Conflict
On February 28, 2026 a military conflict erupted between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The length, impact, and outcome of this ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable and could lead to further significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, trade disputes or trade barriers, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, as well as an increase in insurance claims related to losses incurred in connection with any of the above disruptions. The company has performed assessments of the potential direct impacts of this military conflict on its operations and concluded that there are no significant impacts to its financial condition at this time as its insurance policies generally exclude acts of war. Given ongoing global economic uncertainties, evolving market conditions may affect the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
United States Tariffs
The imposition of tariffs by the United States (the “U.S. Tariffs”) and retaliatory measures between governments may cause multifaceted effects on the economy. The company has performed assessments of the potential direct impacts of the U.S. Tariffs on its operations and concluded that there are no significant impacts at this time. While the company is seeking to mitigate the potential impact on its business, given that developments are ongoing with respect to these tariffs and other measures, their impacts are uncertain and could adversely affect the company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Underwriting Risk
There were no significant changes to the company's exposure to underwriting risk, and there were no changes to the framework used to monitor, evaluate and manage underwriting risk, at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.

Credit Risk
Cash and short term investments
The company’s cash and short term investments, including those of the holding company, are primarily held at major financial institutions in the jurisdictions in which the company operates.
22


Investments in debt instruments
The composition of the company's investments in bonds, classified according to the higher of each security's respective S&P and Moody's issuer credit rating, is presented in the table below.

(1)    Excludes the bonds of the Eurolife Life Operations totaling $1,272.5 at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $1,403.8) that were classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. See note 13.
(2)    Includes the company's investments in first mortgage loans at June 30, 2026 of $5,654.5 (December 31, 2025 - $5,402.5) secured by real estate predominantly in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
The increase in bonds rated AAA/Aaa was primarily due to net purchases of Canadian government bonds of $1,115.3. The increase in bonds rated AA/Aa was primarily due to net purchases of U.S. treasury bonds of $1,080.8. The decrease in bonds rated A/A was primarily due to net sales of corporate and other bonds of $305.9. The increase in bonds rated BBB/Baa was primarily due to net purchases of other government bonds of $633.4. The increase in bonds rated BB/Ba was primarily due to net purchases of other government bonds of $679.1. The increase in bonds rated B/B and the decrease in bonds rated lower than B/B were primarily due to the credit rating upgrade of Argentina government bonds. The increase in unrated bonds was primarily due to the receipt of $716.0 of newly issued securities pursuant to the privatization of Kennedy Wilson as described in note 6.
Liquidity Risk
The holding company's remaining known significant commitments for 2026 consist of an annual payment of $165.0 on the note payable of $330.0 principal amount relating to the acquisition of Gulf Insurance in 2023, payment of interest and corporate overhead expenses, income tax payments, potential payments on amounts borrowed, if any, from the revolving credit facility, and other investment related activities. The company may also make payments related to its derivative contracts and to provide capital support to its insurance and reinsurance companies (for underwriting initiatives in favourable insurance markets).
The holding company expects to continue to receive dividends from its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, which totaled $998.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, of the maximum available of $4,065.9 in 2026 based on information available at June 30, 2026.
Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. There were no significant changes to the company's framework used to monitor, evaluate and manage interest rate risk at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.
Fixed income Portfolio
The company's exposure to interest rate risk on the company's fixed income portfolio increased in the first six months of 2026 primarily due to net purchases of other government bonds, U.S. treasury bonds and Canadian government bonds, the receipt of newly issued securities pursuant to the privatization of Kennedy Wilson as described in note 6 and the closure of forward contracts with a notional amount of $246.6 to sell long-dated U.S. treasury bonds that were held at December 31, 2025.
23


Liability for incurred claims of insurance contracts, net of reinsurance
There were no significant changes to the company's exposure to interest rate risk on its liability for incurred claims, net of reinsurance, excluding the company’s life insurance operations (as a provision for life policy benefits is principally included within the LRC), at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.
Generally, an increase (a decrease) in interest rates will result in a decrease (an increase) to the carrying values of both the company’s fixed income portfolio and liability for incurred claims, net of reinsurance. While the change to the carrying value of each will not necessarily be equal in magnitude when there is a movement in interest rates, the impact on the company's net earnings is typically partially mitigated.
Market Price Fluctuations
The company has exposure to equity price risk through its equity and equity-related holdings as shown in the following table which summarizes the net effect of the company's equity and equity-related holdings on the company's financial position at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(as of July 30, 2026)
(Figures and amounts are in US$ and $ millions except per share amounts and as otherwise indicated. Figures may not add due to rounding.)

Notes to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(1)Readers of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should review the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and the notes to the MD&A in the company's 2025 Annual Report.

(2)In this MD&A, Life insurance and Run-off is included in references to the insurance and reinsurance companies and excluded in references to the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies.

(3)The company presents information on gross premiums written and net premiums written throughout its MD&A. Gross premiums written represents the total premiums on policies issued by the company during a specified period, irrespective of the portion ceded or earned, and is an indicator of the volume of new business generated. Net premiums written represents gross premiums written less amounts ceded to reinsurers and is considered a measure of the new business volume and insurance risk that the company has chosen to retain from new business generated. These measures are used in the insurance industry and by the company primarily to evaluate business volumes, including related trends, and the management of insurance risk.

(4)Management analyzes and assesses the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, and the financial position of the consolidated company, in various ways. Certain of the measures and ratios provided in this interim report, which have been used consistently and disclosed regularly in the company's Annual Reports and interim financial reporting, do not have a prescribed meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Please refer to the Glossary of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures at the end of this MD&A for details of the company's measures and ratios, which include:
Supplementary Financial Measures – Net insurance revenue, net insurance service expenses, combined ratio, discounted, book value per basic share, increase (decrease) in book value per basic share (with and without adjustment for the $15.00 per common share dividend), long equity exposures and long equity exposures and financial effects.
Capital Management Measures – Net debt, net total capital, total capital, net debt divided by total equity, net debt divided by net total capital, total debt divided by total capital, interest coverage ratio and interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage ratio. The company presents these measures on a consolidated basis and also on a consolidated basis excluding non-insurance subsidiaries.
Total of Segments Measures – Supplementary financial measures presented for the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance reporting segments in aggregate including net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, operating income (loss) and corporate overhead and other.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios – Net premiums earned, underwriting profit (loss), adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating income interest coverage and adjusted operating income interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage ratios, various property and casualty insurance and reinsurance ratios, including the combined ratio, undiscounted, excess (deficiency) of fair value over carrying value, cash provided by (used in) operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to purchases and sales of investments classified at FVTPL), investments in Fairfax insurance and reinsurance affiliates and investments in Fairfax affiliates.

Overview of Consolidated Performance for the second quarter and first six months of 2026
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax

Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance Operations
Highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, with comparisons to the second quarter and first six months of 2025 except as otherwise noted, included the following:
The table below presents the insurance service result for the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations reconciled to underwriting profit, a key performance measure used by the company and the property and casualty industry in which it operates. The reconciling adjustments are principally (i) other insurance operating expenses, as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings, (ii) the effects of discounting losses and ceded losses on claims recorded in the period and (iii) the effects of changes in the risk adjustment and other, the latter two of which are included in insurance service expenses and recoveries of insurance service expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings. Other insurance operating expenses are deducted from insurance service result in deriving underwriting profit as the company measures the performance of management at all property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in the decentralized structure on disciplined underwriting profitability which includes prudent expense management on all expenses incurred, including those that are not considered directly attributable to insurance contracts. The company remains focused on disciplined underwriting, which is particularly important when markets are softening.

Insurance service result
The insurance service result of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations increased to $1,203.4 and $2,303.6 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 from $1,010.2 and $1,619.3 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, reflecting increases at each of the reporting segments, with the most significant contributions from the Global Insurers and Reinsurers and North American Insurers reporting segments.
During the second quarter of 2026 the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment principally reflected the benefit from a reduction in the risk adjustment for certain prior year claims, primarily in agricultural reinsurance lines of business at Allied World, partially offset by increased current period attritional catastrophe losses at Odyssey Group and losses arising from the Middle East conflict. During the first six months of 2026 the reporting segment primarily reflected significantly lower current period catastrophe losses of $224.2 or 3.2 combined ratio points on an undiscounted basis (2025 - $872.1 or 12.5 combined ratio points, mainly due to the California wildfires) and increased favourable prior-year reserve development, including releases of risk adjustment on prior-year claims, primarily at Odyssey Group and Allied World, partially offset by higher insurance acquisition expenses.
During the second quarter and first six months of 2026 the North American Insurers reporting segment benefited from growth in net insurance revenue, primarily at Crum & Forster, and favourable loss experience in certain lines of business, partially offset by higher losses in commercial automobile, accident and health, and workers' compensation business. The increase in the insurance service result for the first six months of 2026 also benefited from lower current period catastrophe losses.
Underwriting performance
Adjusted operating income of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations (as presented in the table above) decreased by 2.2% to $1,105.5 in the second quarter of 2026 from $1,130.0 in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting share of loss of associates compared with share of profit of associates in the comparative period, partially offset by increased interest and dividends and underwriting profit, principally in the North American Insurers reporting segment.
35


Adjusted operating income of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations (as presented in the table above) increased by 27.7% to $2,318.9 in the first six months of 2026 from $1,815.5 in the first six months of 2025, principally reflecting higher underwriting profit, primarily at the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment due to significantly lower current period catastrophe losses as the California wildfires affected the comparative period, and increased interest and dividends and share of profit of associates.
The company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations achieved strong underwriting results in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, with underwriting profit of $458.6 and $840.2 and undiscounted combined ratios of 93.1% and 93.6%, compared to underwriting profit of $426.9 and $523.8 and undiscounted combined ratios of 93.3% and 95.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025. The increase in underwriting profit in the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflected improved underwriting performance in the North American Insurers reporting segment and continued growth in new business, principally in the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment reflecting strong growth at Gulf Insurance. The increase in underwriting profit in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected improved underwriting performance across all reporting segments, led by the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally reflecting lower current period catastrophe losses as the California wildfires affected the comparative period and continued growth in new business, principally within the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment. Underwriting results continue to reflect net favourable prior year reserve development, which provided a benefit of $152.6 and $238.7 or 2.3 and 1.8 combined ratio points in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 (2025 - $163.2 and $382.3 or 2.5 and 3.0 combined ratio points).

Net premiums written by the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations increased by 2.4% and 3.3% to $7,344.1 and $14,402.1 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 from $7,170.1 and $13,944.7 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, and gross premiums written increased by 4.1% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2026. The increase in net premiums written in the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflected growth in the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally at Brit, partially offset by decreases at Allied World, and growth in the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally at Fairfax Asia and Fairfax Latin America, partially offset by decreases at Gulf Insurance. The increase in net premiums written in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected growth in the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, particularly at Fairfax Asia, Gulf Insurance and Fairfax Latin America, and in the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally at Brit.
The conflict in the Middle East has continued to evolve since the escalation that began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel commenced joint military operations in Iran, contributing to heightened geopolitical risk and increased volatility in global financial markets. The company has operations across the Gulf region primarily through Gulf Insurance, where certain markets and lines of business have been affected by the conflict; however, Gulf Insurance’s diversified geographic footprint and product mix, including its significant health and motor portfolios, have helped mitigate the impact to date. Gulf Insurance did not experience material net underwriting losses from the conflict in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, although potential future exposure remains principally within marine, political risk and other specialty lines. Coverage for war-related events are generally excluded under standard policy terms or, where coverage is provided, is substantially ceded to reinsurers, limiting the company’s net loss exposure.
Effects of discounting and risk adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings
The total effects of discounting and risk adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings were comprised as follows:

Total pre-tax net benefit (cost) in the consolidated statement of earnings202.0 3.2 467.6 (209.5)
During the second quarter and first six months of 2026 the company recorded total pre-tax net benefits of $202.0 and $467.6, principally related to the net benefit of discounting losses and ceded losses on claims of $509.5 and $942.7 (recognized in the insurance service result as a reduction to losses and ceded losses on claims), partially offset by net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $311.5 and $449.2, which consisted of interest accretion resulting from claims progressing toward settlement of $330.8 and $648.0, partially offset by the effects of increased discount rates during the period on prior years' net losses on claims of $19.3 and $198.8.
During the second quarter of 2025 the company recorded a total pre-tax net benefit of $3.2, principally related to the net benefit of discounting losses and ceded losses on claims of $364.0 (recognized in the insurance service result as a reduction to losses and ceded losses on claims), partially offset by net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $298.5 which consisted of interest accretion resulting from the unwinding of the effects of discounting as claims progress toward settlement of $344.1, partially offset by the benefit of increased discount rates during the period consistent with the characteristics and duration of the expected cash flows on prior years' net losses on claims of $45.6.
During the first six months of 2025 the company recorded a total pre-tax net cost of $209.5, principally related to net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $903.1, partially offset by the net benefit of discounting losses and ceded losses on claims of $819.9 (recognized in the insurance service result as a reduction to losses and ceded losses on claims). The net finance expense of $903.1 consisted of interest accretion resulting from the unwinding of the effects of discounting as claims progress toward settlement of $680.4 and the effects of decreased discount rates during the period on prior years' net losses on claims of $222.7.
Generally, an increase (a decrease) in interest rates will result in a decrease (an increase) to the carrying values of both the company’s fixed income portfolio and the liability for incurred claims, net of reinsurance. While the change to the carrying value of each will not necessarily be equal in magnitude when there is a movement in interest rates, the impact on the company's net earnings is typically partially mitigated. A net loss of $102.8 in the second quarter of 2026 from the effects of increases in

discount rates was comprised of net losses recorded on the company’s bond portfolio of $122.1, partially offset by a net benefit on insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $19.3. A net benefit of $120.4 in the second quarter of 2025 from the effects of changes in discount rates comprised a net benefit on insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $45.6 and net gains on bonds of $74.8. The net losses on bonds in the second quarter of 2026 reflected a modest increase in shorter term interest rates, while the more modest net benefit on insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held reflected higher discount rates consistent with the characteristics and duration of expected cash flows. A net loss of $287.2 in the first six months of 2026 from the effects of increases in discount rates was comprised of net losses recorded on the company’s bond portfolio of $486.0, partially offset by a net benefit on insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $198.8. A net benefit of $240.5 in the first six months of 2025 from the effects of decreases in discount rates comprised net gains recorded on the company’s bond portfolio of $463.2, partially offset by a net loss on insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $222.7.
The table that follows presents the company's total effects of discounting and risk adjustment and the net gains (losses) on bonds recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, set out in a format the company believes assists in understanding the company's net exposure to interest rate risk.

Investment Performance
Interest and dividends
Consolidated interest and dividends of $737.2 and $1,399.3 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 increased from $666.3 and $1,272.8 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, with higher interest income earned principally due to net purchases of U.S. treasury bonds, other government bonds and first mortgage loans during 2025 and the first six months of 2026, and higher dividend income earned from common stocks.
At June 30, 2026 the company's insurance and reinsurance companies held portfolio investments of $71.7 billion (excluding Fairfax India's portfolio of $1.9 billion), of which approximately $8.2 billion was in cash and short term investments and $37.6 billion was in government and high quality corporate bonds, representing 11.4% and 52.4% of those portfolio investments.
The company's fixed income portfolio is conservatively positioned with 77% of the fixed income portfolio invested in U.S. treasuries and other government bonds and 12% in high quality corporate bonds, primarily short-dated, with an average term to maturity on the bond portfolio of 3.2 years.
Share of profit of associates
Consolidated share of profit of associates of $42.8 in the second quarter of 2026 principally reflected share of profit of $108.4 from Eurobank and $32.5 from the company's reduced share of Poseidon, partially offset by a non-cash impairment charge related to Other non-insurance associates of $91.7 and share of loss of $45.6 from Waterous Energy Fund III, a limited partnership investment that recorded unrealized mark-to-market losses on a publicly traded common stock holding. Consolidated share of profit of associates of $414.3 in the first six months of 2026 principally reflected share of profit of $237.0 from Eurobank, $109.3 from Poseidon and $71.0 from Waterous Energy Fund III, partially offset by a non-cash impairment charge related to Other non-insurance associates of $91.7.

On June 16, 2026 all of the outstanding common shares of Kennedy Wilson not already owned by the company and certain senior executives of Kennedy Wilson (the “Consortium”) were acquired by Kona Bidco, a newly formed holding company established by the Consortium. The company has significant influence over Kona Bidco and commenced applying the equity method of accounting to its indirect equity interest in Kennedy Wilson. See note 6 (Investments in Associates) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Net gains (losses) on investments
Net gains on investments of $768.9 and $383.0 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 consisted of the following:

Net gains on equity exposures of $743.8 and $662.0 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were primarily comprised of a net realized gain on the partial disposition of the company's equity accounted investment in Poseidon of $838.4 and net gains of $351.8 and $484.7 on common stocks, partially offset by net losses of $91.0 and $432.8 on long equity total return swaps on Fairfax subordinate voting shares and net losses of $240.5 and $136.7 on convertible bonds and equity warrants. Net realized gains during the second quarter and first six months of 2026 included cash-settlement of $516.6 on closing contracts during the second quarter on 418,795 Fairfax subordinate voting shares with an original notional amount of $132.0 (Cdn$171.7).
Net losses on bonds of $122.1 in the second quarter of 2026 were principally comprised of net losses on U.S. treasuries of $187.4, partially offset by net gains on other government bonds of $33.4 and corporate and other bonds of $27.8. Net losses on bonds of $486.0 in the first six months of 2026 were principally comprised of net losses on U.S. treasuries of $360.0, other government bonds of $69.1 and corporate and other bonds of $51.8, primarily reflecting changes in interest rates.
Non-insurance companies
Non-insurance companies reported operating income of $193.6 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $126.0 in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher operating income in the Other segment (improved operating income at a majority of the operating companies) and at Fairfax India (principally driven by increased share of profit of associates).
Non-insurance companies reported operating income of $230.5 in the first six months of 2026 compared to $84.9 in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting higher operating income in the Other segment (principally driven by non-recurring non-cash impairment charges recorded by Boat Rocker in the first six months of 2025, prior to its deconsolidation on August 1, 2025) and higher operating income at Fairfax India (principally driven by increased share of profit of associates).

Financial Condition
Maintaining an emphasis on financial soundness, at June 30, 2026 the holding company held $2,326.7 of cash and investments (December 31, 2025 - $2,724.9), had an additional $2.3 billion, at fair value, of investments in associates and market traded consolidated non-insurance companies and its $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility was undrawn.
At June 30, 2026 the excess of fair value over carrying value of investments in non-insurance associates and market traded consolidated non-insurance subsidiaries was $4,384.4 compared to $3,139.6 at December 31, 2025, with the increased excess principally related to the company's investment in publicly traded Eurobank and the remaining shares held in Poseidon. The pre-tax excess of $4,384.4 is not reflected in the company’s book value per share, but is regularly reviewed by management as an indicator of investment performance. Refer to the Financial Condition section of this MD&A, under the heading "Book Value Per Basic Share", for details.
The company's consolidated total debt to total capital ratio, excluding non-insurance companies, increased to 28.0% at June 30, 2026 from 26.2% at December 31, 2025, reflecting increased total debt (principally issuances, partially offset by redemptions, of unsecured senior notes, as described in note 11 (Borrowings) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026) and decreased common shareholders' equity (described below).
Common shareholders’ equity decreased by $234.1 to $26,048.5 at June 30, 2026 from $26,282.6 at December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting:
purchases of 1,055,190 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for cash consideration of $1,720.6, or $1,630.61 per share;
payments of common share dividends of $329.1; and
other comprehensive loss of $276.2, or approximately $14 per common share, primarily related to unrealized foreign currency translation losses net of hedges due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against various currencies. The company views these unrealized foreign currency movements as market fluctuations similar to unrealized gains or losses on its equity and fixed income portfolios; partially offset by
net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax of $2,088.4.
Book value per basic share was $1,304.39 at June 30, 2026 compared to $1,260.19 at December 31, 2025, representing an increase per basic share in the first six months of 2026 of 3.5% (an increase of 4.8% adjusted to include the $15.00 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2026). At June 30, 2026 there were 19,969,895 common shares effectively outstanding.

Income of $11,761.9 in the second quarter of 2026 increased modestly from $11,665.2 in the second quarter of 2025, principally reflecting growth in insurance revenue and higher interest and dividends, partially offset by lower net gains on investments, share of profit of associates and non-insurance revenue.
Income of $21,955.3 in the first six months of 2026 decreased from $23,028.5 in the first six months of 2025, principally reflecting lower net gains on investments and non-insurance revenue, partially offset by growth in insurance revenue, share of profit of associates and interest and dividends.
The increase in insurance revenue during the second quarter and first six months of 2026 of $452.9 and $791.1 or 5.9% and 5.2% was primarily in the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally at Gulf Insurance (growth across motor, medical, marine and aviation lines of business), Fairfax Latin America (largely within Fairfax Latam, principally at Southbridge Colombia in its accident and health line of business) and Bryte Insurance (primarily reflecting growth in property and motor lines) and in the North American Insurers reporting segment, principally at Crum & Forster (increases in accident and health and commercial automobile lines of business). Refer to the Components of Net Earnings section of this MD&A for details by reporting segment.
A detailed analysis of interest and dividends, share of profit of associates and net gains on investments for the second quarters and first six months of 2026 and 2025 is provided in the Overview of Consolidated Performance section at the beginning of this MD&A, under the heading "Investment Performance", and in the Investments section of this MD&A.

Insurance Service Result - Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance
The increase in the insurance service result of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in the second quarter of 2026 of $193.2, or 19.1%, reflected increases across all reporting segments. The increase was led by the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally reflecting the benefit from a reduction in the risk adjustment for certain prior year claims at Allied World, partially offset by lower results at the other operating companies in the reporting segment, including increased current period attritional catastrophe losses at Odyssey Group and $66.1 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment. The increase also reflected a higher insurance service result at the North American Insurers reporting segment, across all operating companies, and at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, across a majority of operating companies, including Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe, Gulf Insurance and Fairfax Asia.
The increase in the insurance service result of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in the first six months of 2026 of $684.3, or 42.3%, reflected increases across all reporting segments, primarily led by the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment. The increase in the insurance service result of the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment primarily reflected significantly lower current period catastrophe losses compared to the first six months of 2025, which included the California wildfires, and increased net favourable prior year reserve development, partially offset by $73.0 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict and increased insurance acquisition expenses. The North American Insurers reporting segment experienced increases across all operating companies, primarily at Crum & Forster reflecting continued growth in net insurance revenue, and the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment experienced increases across a majority of operating companies, including Gulf Insurance, Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe and Eurolife General.
Underwriting Profit - Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance
The company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations produced underwriting profit of $458.6 and $840.2 (undiscounted combined ratios of 93.1% and 93.6%) in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to underwriting profit of $426.9 and $523.8 (undiscounted combined ratios of 93.3% and 95.9%) in the second quarter and first six months of 2025.
The increase in underwriting profit in the second quarter of 2026 of $31.7, or 7.4%, principally reflected improved underwriting performance at the North American Insurers reporting segment, primarily reflecting higher underwriting profit at Northbridge and Crum & Forster, and an underwriting profit compared to an underwriting loss in the second quarter of 2025 at Zenith National. The increase also reflected higher underwriting profit at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, primarily at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe and Group Re. These increases were partially offset by a modest decrease at the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, primarily reflecting lower underwriting profit at Odyssey Group and Brit and $66.1 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment, partially offset by higher underwriting profit at Ki and Allied World.
The increase in underwriting profit in the first six months of 2026 of $316.4, or 60.4%, reflected improved underwriting performance across all reporting segments, led by the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally due to significantly lower current period catastrophe losses, including the absence of losses from the California wildfires that impacted the comparative period, partially offset by decreased net favourable prior year reserve development and $73.0 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment. The increase also reflected improved underwriting results at the North American Insurers reporting segment, reflecting a reduced underwriting loss at Zenith National and higher underwriting profit at Northbridge and Crum & Forster, and at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, primarily reflecting increases at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe and Gulf Insurance, partially offset by lower underwriting profit at Fairfax Asia.
The following table presents the components of the company's undiscounted combined ratios, a key performance measure of underwriting profit, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Net favourable prior year reserve development, on an undiscounted basis, of $152.6 in the second quarter of 2026 reflected net favourable emergence across each of the reporting segments, led by the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, across most operating companies within the reporting segment, including Gulf Insurance, primarily in its medical and property lines of business, Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe, principally at Colonnade Insurance across various lines of business, and Fairfax Asia, principally at Singapore Re in property and liability lines. The net favourable development also reflected contributions from the North American Insurers reporting segment, principally at Northbridge in its property and automobile lines, and from the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally in property lines at Ki and Brit.
Net favourable prior year reserve development, on an undiscounted basis, of $238.7 in the first six months of 2026 reflected net favourable emergence across each of the reporting segments, led by the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, across most operating companies within the reporting segment, including Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe, principally at Colonnade Insurance, Gulf Insurance, in its motor lines of business, and Fairfax Asia, primarily at Singapore Re across property and motor lines of business. The net favourable development also reflected contributions from the North American Insurers reporting segment, principally at Northbridge, and from the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, principally at Odyssey Group and Ki.

The commission expense ratio remained stable at 17.0% and 17.1% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to 17.0% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, reflecting broadly consistent commission expense levels across the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations, as lower commission rates within the North American Insurers reporting segment, principally at Crum & Forster in accident and health and surplus and specialty lines of business, were largely offset by increases in the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment and modest increases in the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment during the first six months of 2026.
The underwriting expense ratio decreased to 14.6% in the second quarter of 2026 from 14.9% in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting a decrease at the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment and a modest decrease at the North American Insurers reporting segment, partially offset by an increase at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment. The decrease at the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment principally reflected decreases at Brit and Ki, driven by increased net premiums earned and decreased compensation costs at Brit, while the increase at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment primarily reflected increases at Fairfax Latin America and Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe.
The underwriting expense ratio increased to 14.7% in the first six months of 2026 from 14.4% in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting an increase at the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment (primarily increases at Fairfax Latin America and Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe).
An analysis of interest and dividends, share of profit of associates and net gains (losses) on investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is provided in the Overview of Consolidated Performance section at the beginning of this MD&A, under the heading "Investment Performance", and in the Investments section of this MD&A.

Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax was $1,392.7 (net earnings of $67.92 per basic share and $63.38 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2026 and $2,088.4 (net earnings of $101.04 per basic share and $94.23 per diluted share) in the first six months of 2026 compared to net earnings of $1,436.7 (net earnings of $66.34 per basic share and $61.61 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2025 and $2,382.4 (net earnings of $112.40 per basic share and $104.26 per diluted share) in the first six months of 2025. The decrease in profitability in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 primarily reflected lower net gains on investments and a higher provision for income taxes, partially offset by increased operating income from the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations, higher operating income from non-insurance companies and, in the first six months of 2026, decreased net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held.

Insurance service result
North American Insurers reported an insurance service result of $309.6 and $602.8 and discounted combined ratios of 84.7% and 84.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to an insurance service result of $230.4 and $500.1 and discounted combined ratios of 88.0% and 86.7% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025. The increase in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 of $79.2 and $102.7 reflected increases at Crum & Forster (driven by continued growth in net insurance revenue, including rate increases across most lines of business, partially offset by increased non-catastrophe losses in the accident and health and commercial automobile lines of business), Northbridge (primarily reflecting improved current year loss experience in the personal property line of business, partially offset by increased current period catastrophe losses), and Zenith National (reflecting growth in net insurance revenue, partially offset by increased losses from higher frequency and severity in the workers' compensation business). The increase in the second quarter of 2026 also reflected improved current year loss experience in the commercial property line of business which was partially offset by higher losses in the commercial automobile line of business at Northbridge, and the increase in the first six months of 2026 also reflected improved current year loss experience in the commercial liability line of business at Northbridge and decreased current period catastrophe losses at Crum & Forster.

Underwriting profit
North American Insurers produced underwriting profit of $115.4 and $191.2 and undiscounted combined ratios of 94.1% and 95.0% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to underwriting profit of $88.1 and $167.0 and undiscounted combined ratios of 95.2% and 95.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025. The increase in underwriting profitability in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 reflected an increase at Northbridge (lower attritional loss experience in the personal property line of business, partially offset by increased current period catastrophe losses), at Crum & Forster (increased net premiums earned driven by the accident and health line of business and decreased commissions expense driven by a shift to lower commission business in the surplus and specialty line of business, partially offset by higher attritional loss experience in the accident and health and commercial automobile lines of business and increased underwriting expenses driven by increased premium taxes and personnel costs), and at Zenith National (increased net premiums earned driven by growth in workers' compensation business, and lower underwriting expenses, partially offset by higher attritional losses in the workers' compensation business). The increase in the second quarter of 2026 also reflected decreased large losses in the commercial property line of business which was partially offset by higher attritional loss experience in the commercial automobile line of business at Northbridge, and the increase in the first six months of 2026 also reflected decreased large losses in the commercial liability line of business at Northbridge, and decreased catastrophe losses and commissions expense in the accident and health line of business at Crum & Forster.

Gross premiums written increased by 3.5% and 1.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 primarily reflecting increased business volumes at Crum & Forster (primarily in the accident and health line of business, partially offset by its surplus and specialty line of business) and at Zenith National (primarily workers' compensation business), partially offset by decreased business volumes at Northbridge (primarily due to softening in commercial lines of business and an exited travel insurance fronting book in the first six months of 2026, partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, measured using average foreign exchange rates).
Net premiums written increased by 0.6% in the second quarter of 2026 and decreased by 0.2% in the first six months of 2026, primarily reflecting the increase in gross premiums written and a higher net average cession rate in casualty lines at Crum & Forster. Net premiums earned increased by 5.5% and 5.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, principally reflecting the movement in net premiums written during 2026 and 2025 and the timing between when premiums are written and when they are earned.
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to purchases and sales of investments classified at FVTPL) increased modestly to $658.3 in the first six months of 2026 from $646.3 in the first six months of 2025, due to increases at Crum & Forster (primarily reflecting increased net premium collections, partially offset by higher net claims paid, lower interest and dividends received and higher operating expenses) and Zenith National (primarily reflecting increased net premium collections and lower taxes paid, partially offset by higher net claims paid), partially offset by a decrease at Northbridge (primarily reflecting higher net claims paid and decreased net premium collections).

Insurance service result
Global Insurers and Reinsurers insurance service result of $714.8 and a discounted combined ratio of 79.3% in the second quarter of 2026 increased from an insurance service result of $630.2 and a discounted combined ratio of 81.6% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the insurance service result in the second quarter of 2026 of $84.6 reflected increases at Allied World (principally reflecting the benefit from a reduction in the risk adjustment for certain prior year claims, primarily in reinsurance lines of business, compared to an unfavourable impact in the second quarter of 2025 arising from changes in the expected duration of certain prior year claims and the resulting effect on discounting), partially offset by decreases at each of the other operating companies within the reporting segment, primarily Odyssey Group reflecting increased current period attritional catastrophe losses. The increase in the insurance service result was also partially offset by $66.1 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment.
Global Insurers and Reinsurers insurance service result of $1,380.5 and a discounted combined ratio of 79.6% in the first six months of 2026 improved significantly from an insurance service result of $855.4 and a discounted combined ratio of 87.2% in the first six months of 2025. The increase in the insurance service result in the first six months of 2026 of $525.1 primarily reflected significantly lower current period catastrophe losses of $224.2 (as set out in the table below) compared with $872.1 in the first six months of 2025, which included the California wildfires and increased release of risk adjustment on prior year claims, primarily at Odyssey Group and Allied World. The increase in the insurance service result was partially offset by $73.0 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict and increased insurance acquisition expenses across the reporting segment.
The operating companies comprising the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment had discounted combined ratios, net insurance revenue and insurance service result in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 and 2025 as set out in the following table:

Underwriting profit
Global Insurers and Reinsurers produced an underwriting profit of $288.7 and an undiscounted combined ratio of 92.0% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to an underwriting profit of $293.2 and an undiscounted combined ratio of 91.7% in the second quarter of 2025. The modest decrease in underwriting profit primarily reflected lower underwriting profit at Odyssey Group and Brit, partially offset by improved results at Allied World and Ki. The decrease in underwriting profit principally reflected $66.1 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment and decreased net favourable prior year reserve development of $30.0 (2025 - $62.9), primarily at Allied World and Brit. The net favourable prior year reserve development of $30.0 in the second quarter of 2026 principally reflected development in property lines of business at Ki and Brit. The decrease in underwriting profit was partially offset by decreased underwriting expenses, primarily at Brit, reflecting decreased compensation costs.
Global Insurers and Reinsurers produced an underwriting profit of $548.4 and an undiscounted combined ratio of 92.2% in the first six months of 2026, compared to an underwriting profit of $279.4 and an undiscounted combined ratio of 96.1% in the first six months of 2025. The increase in underwriting profit of $269.0 in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected decreased current period catastrophe losses (as set out in the table below), partially offset by decreased net favourable prior year reserve development of $45.6 (2025 - $217.4), primarily reflecting decreases at Odyssey Group, Brit, and Allied World. The net favourable prior year reserve development of $45.6 in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected development at Odyssey Group (principally 2025 and 2024 attritional catastrophe losses) and Ki (primarily property lines of business). The increase in underwriting profit was partially offset by $73.0 of aggregate losses from the Middle East conflict across the reporting segment.

The current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio increased modestly to 63.6% in the second quarter of 2026 from 63.3% in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher attritional loss experience at Brit, driven by the effect of softening property rates and the Middle Eastern conflict related losses, together with a modest increase at Odyssey from higher current period catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and a more competitive pricing environment, partially offset by improved experience in direct property lines at Ki.
The current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio decreased to 63.1% in the first six months of 2026 from 70.0% in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting decreased current period catastrophe losses (as set out in the table above) driven primarily by the California wildfire losses recorded in the comparative period, partially offset by increased current period attritional loss experience at Brit (primarily property open market business), and Allied World, primarily reflecting a more competitive pricing environment, particularly within property lines where rates continue to decline across both the Insurance and Reinsurance segment, while casualty pricing remains generally favourable.
The commission expense ratio increased to 18.3% in the first six months of 2026 from 17.8% in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting higher net average commissions, principally at Brit and Odyssey Group due to changes in the mix of business written, partially offset by decreases at Ki, also reflecting changes in the mix of business written. At Allied World and Odyssey Group, the increase in the commission expense ratio also reflected the impact of California wildfire-related reinstatement premiums in the first six months of 2025 that carried no additional commission.
The underwriting expense ratio decreased to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2026 from 12.1% in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting decreases at Brit and Ki principally reflecting increased net premiums earned during the period, which decreased the underwriting expense ratio, and decreased compensation costs at Brit.

Gross premiums written increased by 2.8% and 2.6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, reflecting growth at each of operating companies within the reporting segment. At Odyssey Group, growth was principally driven by agricultural lines of business, including Crop, partially offset by lower property treaty reinsurance premiums reflecting rate reductions in a softening catastrophe market. At Allied World, growth principally reflected increased business volumes in the Global Markets insurance segment in the second quarter of 2026 and, for the first six months of 2026, growth in both the reinsurance segment and the Global Markets insurance segment. The increases at Allied World were partially offset by lower North American Insurance premiums, reflecting rate reductions, primarily in property lines of business. The increase in gross premiums written at Brit primarily reflected growth in casualty treaty reinsurance and property facilities insurance lines of business, partially offset by decreased property treaty reinsurance premiums. For the first six months of 2026, the increase also reflected increased business volumes in financial insurance lines of business. The increase at Ki was primarily driven by property lines of business, including property treaty reinsurance, partially offset by continued pressure in open market property lines from increased competitive pricing.

Net premiums written increased by 2.1% and 1.6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 primarily following the movement in gross premiums written, partially offset by a modest decline in the average retention at Allied World (primarily reflecting changes in the mix of business written and higher reinsurance utilization in the Global Markets insurance segment) and Ki (primarily reflecting increased average reinsurance utilization given the more favourable reinsurance pricing environment). Net premiums earned increased by 1.2% and decreased 0.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, principally reflecting the timing between when premiums are written and when they are earned. The first six months of 2026 also reflected the absence of the California wildfire‑related reinstatement premiums recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 which were recognized as written and earned in that period.
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to purchases and sales of investments classified at FVTPL) decreased to $1,304.8 in the first six months of 2026 from $1,509.5 in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting decreased net premiums received, primarily at Odyssey Group and Allied World and increased taxes paid, principally at Odyssey Group and Brit. The decrease was partially offset by decreased net claim payments during the period, including payments related to the California wildfires in the first six months 2025.

Insurance service result
International Insurers and Reinsurers reported an insurance service result of $179.0 and a discounted combined ratio of 84.8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to an insurance service result of $149.6 and a discounted combined ratio of 85.3% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the insurance service result in the second quarter of 2026 of $29.4 reflected increases across the majority of the operating companies within the reporting segment, particularly at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (primarily at Colonnade Insurance reflecting growth in insurance revenue across its casualty and specialty lines of business and higher recoveries of insurance service expenses related to certain large losses in commercial property and general liability in 2026, partially offset by an increase in insurance service expenses (driven by an increase in large losses as noted previously, partially offset by increased net favourable prior year reserve development)), Gulf Insurance (principally reflecting increased net insurance revenue across its motor and marine and aviation lines of business, partially offset by increased net insurance service expenses driven by higher gross claims activity, including large losses on property, liability and war related lines of business which were mostly offset by increased recoveries of insurance service expenses) and Fairfax Asia (increased insurance revenue across all operating companies and lines of business, partially offset by lower recoveries of insurance service expenses due to increased retention).
International Insurers and Reinsurers reported an insurance service result of $320.3 and a discounted combined ratio of 86.0% in the first six months of 2026 compared to an insurance service result of $263.8 and a discounted combined ratio of 86.8% in the first six months of 2025. The increase in insurance service result in the first six months of 2026 of $56.5 primarily reflected increases across the majority of the operating companies within the reporting segment, particularly at Gulf Insurance (principally reflecting the same factors as the increase in the second quarter of 2026 described previously), Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (primarily at Colonnade Insurance reflecting growth in insurance revenue across most lines of business, and higher recoveries of insurance service expenses related to certain large losses in commercial property and general liability in 2026, partially offset by an increase in insurance service expenses (driven by an increase in large losses as noted previously, partially offset by increased net favourable prior year reserve development)) and Eurolife General (primarily increased insurance revenue on more profitable lines of business, including property).
The operating companies comprising the International Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment had discounted combined ratios, net insurance revenue and insurance service result in the second quarters and first six months of 2026 and 2025 as set out in the following table:

Underwriting profit
International Insurers and Reinsurers produced underwriting profit of $54.5 and $100.6 and undiscounted combined ratios of 95.2% and 95.5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to underwriting profit of $45.6 and $77.4 and undiscounted combined ratios of 95.5% and 96.1% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025. The increase in underwriting profit in the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflected an increase at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (primarily at Colonnade Insurance, principally reflecting growth in business and increased net favourable prior year reserve development). The increase in underwriting profit in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected increases across a majority of the operating companies within the reporting segment, particularly at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (principally at Colonnade Insurance reflecting growth in business across all lines of business and increased net favourable prior year reserve development), Gulf Insurance (principally reflecting growth in business across various lines of business and lower attritional accident year loss experience, partially offset by lower net favourable prior year reserve development) and Eurolife General (principally reflecting improved net favourable prior year reserve development), partially offset by lower underwriting profit at Fairfax Asia (principally reflecting an increased commission ratio across a majority of the operating companies and lower net favourable prior year reserve development, primarily at Singapore Re and Pacific Insurance).

The current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 64.3% and 63.3% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 decreased from 66.2% and 64.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting decreases at Gulf Insurance (driven by lower claims frequency and increased net premiums earned relative to more modest increases in losses) and Fairfax Latin America (driven by higher net premiums earned relative to more modest increases in losses across the majority of the operating companies).
The commission expense ratio of 16.3% in the second quarter of 2026 increased from 14.8% in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting increases at Fairfax Asia (lower profit commission income on a proportional reinsurance program at Singapore Re and lower ceding commission income at AMAG Insurance) and Fairfax Latin America (higher commission expense relative to the increase in net premiums earned from changes in business mix). The commission expense ratio of 16.3% in the first six months of 2026 was comparable to the 15.8% in the first six months of 2025.
The underwriting expense ratio of 22.7% and 22.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 increased from 22.1% and 21.7% in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting increases at Fairfax Latin America (largely at Southbridge Colombia due to investments in strategic distribution channels) and Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (primarily reflecting increased compensation and information technology expenses).
Net favourable prior year reserve development of $92.2 and $145.7 in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to $77.7 and $125.3 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025. Net favourable prior year reserve development in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 primarily related to Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe (principally at Colonnade Insurance across its various lines of business), Gulf Insurance (principally in its motor and marine lines of business) and Fairfax Asia (principally at Singapore Re and Falcon in their property lines of business). Net favourable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2026 also reflected net favourable development at each of the operating companies within Fairfax Latin America across various lines of business.

Gross premiums written increased by 8.2% and 11.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, primarily reflecting increases across a majority of the operating companies within the reporting segment, particularly at Gulf Insurance (growth in motor, marine and aviation, and other property lines of business, and in the first six months of 2026 also reflecting growth in the medical line of business), Fairfax Asia (primarily at Pacific Insurance, reflecting new business in its engineering line of business, changes in business mix in its motor line of business and the strengthening of the Malaysian Ringgit relative to the U.S. dollar measured using average foreign exchange rates, and at Falcon Thailand, reflecting growth in motor and accident and health lines of business), Fairfax Latin America (principally at Southbridge Colombia in its accident and health line of business, and also at La Meridional in the first six months of 2026 across various lines of business) and Bryte Insurance (increased rates, growth across all lines of business and the strengthening of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. dollar measured using average foreign exchange rates). The increase in gross premiums written in the first six months of 2026 also reflected an increase at Fairfax Central and Eastern Europe, principally comprising Fairfax Ukraine (motor, health and property lines of business), Polish Re (property and agricultural lines of business) and at Colonnade Insurance (strengthening of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar measured using average foreign exchange rates).
Net premiums written increased by 6.2% and 14.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, primarily reflecting the increases in gross premiums written achieved by most companies in the reporting segment as described above, and increased retention of business at Fairfax Asia and Fairfax Latin America, partially offset by lower retention of business at Gulf Insurance which was more pronounced in the second quarter of 2026. Net premiums earned increased by 11.3% and 13.6% in second quarter and first six months of 2026, principally reflecting the same factors as the increase in net premiums written and the timing between when premiums are written and when they are earned which was more pronounced in the second quarter of 2026 at Gulf Insurance.

Non-insurance companies' revenue and expenses decreased to $3,749.7 and $3,571.7 in the first six months of 2026 from $4,270.4 and $4,208.8 in the first six months of 2025, primarily reflecting lower business volumes and commodity prices at Meadow Foods and AGT, and the deconsolidation of The Keg in the Restaurants and retail operating segment in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in expenses in the first six months of 2026 also reflected non-cash impairment charges recorded by Boat Rocker in the first six months of 2025, prior to its deconsolidation on August 1, 2025.

Cash provided by operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to purchases and sales of investments classified at FVTPL) decreased to $2,037.1 in 2026 from $2,841.4 in 2025, principally reflecting a net decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents in 2025 (primarily related to restricted cash of $835.0 held at a depository that was released on January 1, 2025 in connection with the company’s investments in Blizzard Vacatia) and higher net paid losses, partially offset by higher net premium collections and higher interest and dividends received.
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Sales of investments in associates of $1,920.6 in 2026 primarily reflected proceeds from the partial sale of the company's investment in Poseidon for cash consideration of $1,907.1.

Proceeds from borrowings - holding company and insurance and reinsurance companies of $1,424.9 in 2026 principally reflected the issuance of $750.0 principal amount of 6.20% unsecured senior notes due 2056 for net proceeds of $742.7 and the issuance of $505.8 (Cdn$700.0) and $183.3 (Cdn$250.0) principal amounts of 4.40% and 5.10% unsecured senior notes due 2036 and 2055 for net proceeds of $500.9 and $181.3, respectively.
Repayments of borrowings – holding company and insurance and reinsurance companies of $428.4 in 2026 primarily reflected the holding company's redemption of its $326.7 (Cdn$450.0) principal amount of 4.70% unsecured senior notes due December 16, 2026 and $91.8 principal amount of 8.30% unsecured senior notes.

65


Proceeds from borrowings - holding company and insurance and reinsurance companies of $889.6 in 2025 principally reflected the issuance of $500.0 and $400.0 principal amounts of 5.75% and 6.50% unsecured senior notes due 2035 and 2055 for net proceeds of $494.5 and $395.1, respectively.
Net borrowings on revolving credit facilities and short term loans - non-insurance companies of $240.6 and purchases of subsidiary shares from non-controlling interests of $162.6 in 2025, primarily reflected additional draws by Recipe on its revolving credit facility to repurchase and cancel its common shares not owned by Fairfax. Net borrowings on revolving credit facilities and short term loans - non-insurance also included Sleep Country's additional borrowings on its revolving credit facility to support growth.
Holding company
Holding company cash and investments at June 30, 2026 was $2,326.7 ($2,322.9 net of $3.8 of holding company derivative obligations) compared to $2,724.9 ($2,716.9 net of $8.0 of holding company derivative obligations) at December 31, 2025.
Significant cash and investment transactions during the first six months of 2026 included purchases for cancellation of 1,055,190 subordinate voting shares under the terms of the company's normal course issuer bids at a cost of $1,720.6, a net loss of $432.8 on the company's investment in long equity total return swaps on Fairfax subordinate voting shares, payment of common share dividends of $329.1, capital contributions to subsidiaries of $115.0 and interest payments on unsecured senior notes, partially offset by dividends received from the insurance and reinsurance companies of $998.3, the issuance of $750.0 principal amount of 6.20% unsecured senior notes due 2056 for net proceeds of $742.7 and the issuance of $505.8 (Cdn$700.0) and $183.3 (Cdn$250.0) principal amounts of 4.40% and 5.10% unsecured senior notes due 2036 and 2055 for net proceeds of $500.9 and $181.3, respectively.
The carrying value of holding company cash and investments was also affected by the receipt of investment management and administration fees, disbursements for corporate overhead expenses, and changes in the fair value of holding company investments.
The company believes that holding company cash and investments, net of holding company derivative obligations, at June 30, 2026 of $2,322.9 provides adequate liquidity to meet the holding company’s remaining known commitments in 2026. In addition, the holding company owns investments in associates and market traded consolidated non-insurance companies with a fair value of approximately $2.3 billion and expects to continue to receive investment management and administration fees from its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and from Fairfax India, and to receive investment income on its holdings of cash and investments. The holding company also expects to continue to receive dividends from its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, which totaled $998.3 in the first six months of 2026 of a maximum $4,065.9 available for distribution in 2026 based on information available at June 30, 2026. To further augment its liquidity, the holding company can draw upon its $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at June 30, 2026.
The holding company’s known significant commitments for the remainder of 2026 consist of an annual payment of $165.0 on the note payable of $330.0 principal amount relating to the acquisition of Gulf Insurance in 2023, payment of interest and corporate overhead expenses, income tax payments, potential payments on amounts borrowed, if any, from the revolving credit facility, and other investment related activities. The company may also make payments related to its derivative contracts and to provide capital support to its insurance and reinsurance companies (for underwriting initiatives in favourable insurance markets).
Insurance and reinsurance companies
During the first six months of 2026 subsidiary cash and short term investments (including cash and short term investments pledged for derivative obligations) decreased by $780.5 primarily due to net purchases of bonds and dividends paid to the holding company, partially offset by net cash generated by insurance and reinsurance underwriting operations, proceeds from the partial sale of the company's investment in Poseidon and interest and dividends received primarily from the insurance and reinsurance companies' fixed income portfolio.

Operating results at the company’s insurance and reinsurance companies have been, and are expected to continue to be, significantly affected by discounting of net claims reserves and a risk adjustment on those reserves for uncertainty related to the timing and amount of cash flows from non-financial risk, the occurrence of which are not predictable and have been, and may continue to be, affected by the economic uncertainty caused by increased inflationary pressures and heightened changes in interest rates. Individual quarterly results have been (and may in the future be) affected by losses from significant natural or other catastrophes, by favourable or adverse reserve development and by settlements or commutations, the occurrence of which are not predictable, and have been (and are expected to continue to be) significantly affected by net gains or losses on investments, the timing of which are not predictable.

Glossary of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Management analyzes and assesses the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, and the financial position of the consolidated company, through various measures and ratios. Certain of those measures and ratios, which have been used consistently and disclosed regularly in the company's Annual Reports and interim financial reporting, do not have a prescribed meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Supplementary Financial Measures
Net insurance revenue This measure of underwriting activity is calculated as insurance revenue less cost of reinsurance, both as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Second quarterFirst six months
2026202520262025
Insurance revenue8,188.1 7,735.2 16,009.0 15,217.9

Net insurance revenue 6,725.0 6,402.0 13,179.9 12,555.0 
Net insurance service expenses This measure of underwriting activity is calculated as insurance service expenses less recoveries of insurance service expenses, both as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Second quarterFirst six months
2026202520262025
Insurance service expenses(6,756.7)(6,320.2)(13,088.1)(12,922.2)

Net insurance service expenses(5,524.8)(5,400.4)(10,850.6)(10,947.7)
Combined ratio, discounted – Also referred to as the discounted combined ratio, this performance measure of underwriting results under IFRS 17 is calculated as net insurance service expenses expressed as a percentage of net insurance revenue.
Book value per basic share – The company considers book value per basic share a key performance measure as one of the company’s stated objectives is to build long term shareholder value by compounding book value per basic share by 15% annually over the long term. This measure is calculated by the company as common shareholders' equity divided by the number of common shares effectively outstanding. Those amounts are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and note 12 (Total Equity, under the heading "Common stock") respectively to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Increase or decrease in book value per basic share is calculated as the percentage change in book value per basic share from the end of the last annual reporting period to the end of the current reporting period. Increase or decrease in book value per basic share adjusted for the $15.00 per common share dividend is calculated in the same manner except that it assumes the annual $15.00 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2026 was not paid and book value per basic share at the end of the current reporting period would be higher as a result.
Equity exposuresLong equity exposures refers to the company's long positions in equity and equity-related instruments held for investment purposes, and long equity exposures and financial effects refers to the aggregate position and performance of the company's long equity exposures. Long equity exposures exclude the company’s insurance and reinsurance investments in associates and joint ventures, and other equity and equity-related holdings which are considered long-term strategic holdings. These measures are presented and explained in note 15 (Financial Risk Management, under the heading "Market Risk") to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Capital Management Measures
Net debt, net total capital, total capital, net debt divided by total equity, net debt divided by net total capital and total debt divided by total capital are measures and ratios used by the company to assess the amount of leverage employed in its operations. The company also uses an interest coverage ratio and an interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage ratio to measure its ability to service its debt and pay dividends to its preferred shareholders. These measures and ratios are calculated using amounts presented in the company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, both including and excluding the relevant balances of consolidated non-insurance companies, and are presented and explained in note 15 (Financial Risk Management, under the heading "Capital Management").
Total of Segments Measures
Property and casualty insurance and reinsurance References in this MD&A to the company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations do not include the company's life insurance and run-off operations. The company believes this aggregation of reporting segments to be helpful in evaluating the performance of its core property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies and has historically disclosed measures on this basis including operating income (loss), consistent with the information
70


presented in note 16 (Segmented Information) to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as net premiums written, net premiums earned and underwriting profit (loss), which are presented in this MD&A. References to “insurance and reinsurance” operations includes property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, life insurance and run-off operations.
Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held This measure represents the net change in the carrying amounts of the company's insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held arising from the effects of the time value of money, and is calculated as the sum of the respective amounts presented in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Operating income (loss) – This measure is used by the company as a pre-tax performance measure of operations that excludes net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, net gains (losses) on investments, interest expense and corporate overhead and other, and that includes interest and dividends and share of profit (loss) of associates, which the company considers to be more predictable sources of investment income. Operating income (loss) includes the insurance service result and other insurance operating expenses of the insurance and reinsurance operations and the revenue and expenses of the non-insurance companies. A reconciliation of operating income (loss) to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable measure under IFRS Accounting Standards, is presented in note 16 (Segmented Information) to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. All figures in that reconciliation are from the company's unaudited interim consolidated statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, except for net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, which is comprised of figures from the consolidated statement of earnings as described above, and corporate overhead and other, which is described below.
Corporate overhead and other This measure includes corporate and other expenses as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings, representing the non-underwriting operating expenses of the Fairfax holding company and the holding companies of the insurance and reinsurance operations, and the amortization of intangible assets that primarily arose on acquisition of the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. Also included are investment management and administration fees paid by the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries to the Fairfax holding company, interest and dividends earned on holding company cash and investments and holding company share of profit (loss) of associates. Refer to the Corporate Overhead and Other section in this MD&A.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
The financial measures and ratios described below are presented on the same basis as prior to the adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts on January 1, 2023.
Net premiums earned Net premiums earned represents the portion of net premiums written that are considered earned by the company during a specified period in exchange for providing insurance coverage to the policyholder. This measure is used in the insurance industry and by the company primarily to evaluate business volumes, including related trends, and the management of insurance risk.
Underwriting profit (loss) – A measure of underwriting activity calculated as insurance service result with the effects of discounting for net claims recorded in the current period and changes in the risk adjustment and other excluded, and other insurance operating expenses deducted, as shown in the table in the Overview of Consolidated Performance section of this MD&A, under the heading "Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance Operations".
Adjusted operating income (loss) – Calculated as the sum of underwriting profit (loss), interest and dividends and share of profit (loss) of associates for the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies, this measure is used in a similar manner to operating income (loss).
Adjusted operating income interest coverage and adjusted operating income interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage are ratios used to measure the ability of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies to service their debt and the debt and preferred dividend obligations of the holding company. Balances of the non-insurance companies are excluded from the calculation of these ratios. Adjusted operating income interest coverage is calculated as adjusted operating income of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies divided by consolidated interest expense on borrowings excluding non-insurance companies. Adjusted operating income interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage is calculated as adjusted operating income of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies divided by the sum of consolidated interest expense on borrowings, excluding non-insurance companies, and preferred share dividend distributions of the holding company adjusted to a pre-tax equivalent at the company's Canadian statutory income tax rate.
Property and casualty insurance and reinsurance ratios – The combined ratio, undiscounted, which may also be referred to as the undiscounted combined ratio, is the traditional performance measure of underwriting results of property and casualty companies and is calculated by the company as the sum of the loss ratio (claims losses and loss adjustment expenses expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned), the commission expense ratio (commissions expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned) and the
71


underwriting expense ratio (other underwriting expenses, including premium acquisition costs, expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned). Other ratios used by the company include the accident year loss ratio (claims losses and loss adjustment expenses excluding the net favourable or adverse development of reserves established for claims that occurred in previous accident years, expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned), and the accident year combined ratio (the sum of the accident year loss ratio and the expense ratio). The ratios described are derived from information disclosed in the Net Earnings by Reporting Segment section of this MD&A and adjusted principally to remove the effects of discounting for net claims recorded in the current period, the change in the risk adjustment and other insurance operating expenses. These ratios are used by the company for comparisons to historical underwriting results, to the underwriting results of competitors and to the broader property and casualty industry, as well as for evaluating the performance of individual operating companies. The company may also refer to combined ratio points, which expresses, on an undiscounted basis, a loss that is a component of losses on claims, net, such as a catastrophe loss or net favourable or adverse prior year reserve development, as a percentage of net premiums earned during the same period.
The tables below present the amounts used in the calculation of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies ratios and reconciles insurance revenue to net premiums earned. A reconciliation of underwriting profit (loss) of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance reporting segments to insurance service result, the most directly comparable measure under IFRS Accounting Standards, is shown in the Overview of Consolidated Performance section of this MD&A, under the heading "Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance Operations".

Non-insurance companies included in the performance measure
The fair values of market traded consolidated non-insurance companies are calculated as the company's pro rata ownership share of each subsidiary's market capitalization as determined by traded share prices at the financial statement date. The carrying value of each subsidiary represents Fairfax's share of that subsidiary's net assets, calculated as the subsidiary's total assets less total liabilities and non-controlling interests. Carrying value is included in shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders of Fairfax in the company's consolidated balance sheets as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as shown in the table below, which reconciles the consolidated balance sheet of the market traded non-insurance companies to that of the total non-insurance companies included in the company's consolidated balance sheet.
