Segment Information Segment Information
 
As of June 30, 2026, White Mountains conducted its operations through five reportable segments: (1) Ark/WM Outrigger, (2) Kudu, (3) HG Global, (4) Distinguished and (5) WTM Partners, with its remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the Company’s CODM and the Board of Directors. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM utilizes each segment’s pre-tax income (loss) in assessing each segment’s performance and allocating resources. Other measures of segment profitability are also reviewed by the CODM. Significant intercompany transactions among White Mountains’s segments have been eliminated herein.
White Mountains consolidates its segregated account of Outrigger Re Ltd., WM Outrigger Re, in its financial statements. WM Outrigger Re exclusively provides reinsurance protection to Ark, and WM Outrigger Re’s quota share reinsurance agreement with GAIL eliminates in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. As a result, WM Outrigger Re is aggregated with Ark within the Ark/WM Outrigger segment.
On September 2, 2025, White Mountains completed the Distinguished Transaction. As a result, White Mountains began consolidating Distinguished in its financial statements on September 2, 2025. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”
In the second quarter of 2026, WTM Partners completed the acquisitions of Hawkeye Electric and Basesix. As a result, WTM Partners is presented as a separate reportable segment. The CODM assesses the performance of WTM Partners’s operating companies and allocates resources in the aggregate to the WTM Partners segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
On December 5, 2025, White Mountains completed the Bamboo Sale Transaction. As a result, White Mountains deconsolidated the Bamboo Group on December 5, 2025, and Bamboo is no longer a reportable segment. Through December 5, 2025, Bamboo’s results of operations are presented within the Bamboo segment. White Mountains’s noncontrolling equity interest in the Bamboo SPV is accounted for at fair value in other long-term investments within Other Operations. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.”
The following tables present White Mountains’s pre-tax financial results by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
