Our consolidated investment portfolio, excluding MediaAlpha, was up 2.0% with gains in both fixed income and equities. During the quarter, we closed our previously announced deployments at BroadStreet Partners and Distinguished Programs.”

HG Global's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains of $7 million and $20 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to $23 million and $13 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, driven by a decrease in interest rates. HG Global's results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 also included the loss on deconsolidation of $115 million, partially offset by an increase in fair value of the BAM surplus notes of $16 million during the quarter. The fair value of the BAM surplus notes was $396 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to $397 million as of June30, 2025.

Kevin Pearson, President of HG Global, said, “HG Global had a good quarter, growing book value by 3%. Par value assumed increased 24% year-over-year, driven by increased activity in both the primary and secondary markets. Pricing was down marginally quarter-over-quarter but was more than offset by higher volumes.”

Distinguished

On September 2, 2025, White Mountains acquired a controlling interest in Distinguished Programs, a full-service MGA and program administrator for specialty property & casualty insurance.

In the transaction, White Mountains paid $224 million of cash consideration, while Distinguished borrowed $50 million of incremental debt. Including its 2% previously-held interest, at closing White Mountains owned 56% of Distinguished on a basic units outstanding basis (44% on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis, taking account of management's equity incentives).

For the period from September 2, 2025 through September 30, 2025, Distinguished reported managed premiums of $43 million, commission and fee revenues of $14 million, pre-tax loss of $3 million, and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA of $1 million.

Jason Rotman, President of Distinguished, said “My partners and I are very excited to be the newest members of the White Mountains family. We remain focused on driving profitable growth in our ScaleCo businesses. At the same time, we are growing and diversifying our portfolio of managed programs through the addition of new teams, with one launched this quarter and several more expected by early 2026.”

Regulation G

This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled from their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

— Kudu's EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, annualized adjusted EBITDA, annualized revenue and cash revenue yield are non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to GAAP net income (loss).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate EBITDA. The items relate to (i) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and (iii) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:

— Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) – Represents net unrealized investment gains and losses recorded on Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts, which are recorded at fair value under GAAP, and realized investment gains and losses from participation contracts sold during the period.

— Non-cash equity-based compensation expense – Represents non-cash expenses related to Kudu's management compensation that are settled with equity units in Kudu.

— Transaction expenses – Represents costs directly related to Kudu's mergers and acquisitions activity, such as external lawyer, banker, consulting and placement agent fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

Annualized adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) annualizes partial year revenues related to Kudu's revenue and earnings participation contracts acquired during the previous 12-month period and (ii) removes partial year revenues related to revenue and earnings participation contracts sold during the previous 12-month period.

Annualized revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds the adjustments for annualized adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net investment income.

Cash revenue yield is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived using annualized revenue as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net investment income revenue yield, which is derived using GAAP net investment income as a percentage of total net capital drawn and invested.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Kudu's performance. White Mountains also believes that annualized adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in understanding the full earnings profile of Kudu's business as of the end of any 12-month period. See page 20 for the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized adjusted EBITDA, and the reconciliation of Kudu's GAAP net investment income to annualized revenue.

— Bamboo's MGA pre-tax income (loss), MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

MGA pre-tax income (loss) and MGA net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of the Bamboo captive, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and net income (loss).

The following table presents the reconciliation from Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to MGA pre-tax income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30,Millions 2025 2024 2025 2024Bamboo's consolidated GAAP pre-tax income (loss) $ 15.0 $ 15.5 $ 37.4 $ 22.8Remove pre-tax (income) loss, Bamboo captive (.1) (1.9) 2.7 (1.9)MGA pre-tax income (loss) $ 14.9 $ 13.6 $ 40.1 $ 20.9

MGA EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to MGA net income (loss).

MGA adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain other items in GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those added back to calculate MGA EBITDA. The items relate to (i) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (ii) software implementation expenses, (iii) restructuring expenses and (iv) transaction expenses. A description of each item follows:

— Non-cash equity-based compensation expense – Represents non-cash expenses related to Bamboo's management compensation that are settled with equity units in Bamboo.

— Software implementation expenses – Represents costs directly related to Bamboo's implementation of new software.

— Restructuring expenses – Represents costs directly related to Bamboo's corporate restructuring and capital planning activities.

— Transaction expenses – Represents costs directly related to the Bamboo transaction, including legal and consulting fees, which are not capitalized and are expensed under GAAP.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Bamboo's performance. See page 22 for the reconciliation of Bamboo's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to MGA net income (loss), MGA EBITDA and MGA adjusted EBITDA.

— Distinguished's ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.

ScaleCo net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which is consolidated under GAAP, from Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss).

ScaleCo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds back interest expense on debt, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets to ScaleCo net income (loss).

ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the non-cash equity-based compensation expense in ScaleCo GAAP net income (loss) in addition to those items added back to calculate ScaleCo EBITDA. The non-cash equity-based compensation expense represents management compensation that is settled with equity units in Distinguished.

White Mountains believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating Distinguished's performance. White Mountains also believes that excluding the results of the GrowthCo vertical, which Distinguished views as an investment in start-up programs, is useful to understanding the performance of Distinguished's established programs. See page 23 for the reconciliation of Distinguished's consolidated GAAP net income (loss) to ScaleCo net income (loss), ScaleCo EBITDA and ScaleCo adjusted EBITDA.

— Total consolidated portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha and total equity portfolio return excluding MediaAlpha are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha. White Mountains believes these measures to be useful to management and investors by showing the underlying performance of White Mountains's investment portfolio and equity portfolio without regard to White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha. The following tables present reconciliations from GAAP to the reported percentages:

Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024Total consolidated portfolio return 2.1% 4.6% 6.6% 9.4%Remove MediaAlpha (0.1) (1.3) 0.2 (2.5)Total consolidated portfolio return 2.0% 3.3% 6.8% 6.9%excluding MediaAlpha

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this release which address activities, events or developments which White Mountains expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “could”, “will”, “believe”, “intend”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “estimate”, “predict” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to White Mountains's:

— change in book value per share or return on equity;

— business strategy;

— financial and operating targets or plans;

— incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses and the adequacy of its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and related reinsurance;

— projections of revenues, income (or loss), earnings (or loss) per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, dividends, market share or other financial forecasts of White Mountains or its businesses;

— expansion and growth of its business and operations; and

— future capital expenditures.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by White Mountains in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to its expectations and predictions is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including:

— the risks that are described from time to time in White Mountains's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to White Mountains's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K;

— claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis, severe weather, public health crises, terrorist attacks, war and war-like actions, explosions, infrastructure failures or cyber attacks;

— recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate;

— the market value of White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha;

— business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to it and pursued;

— actions taken by rating agencies, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch;

— the continued availability of capital and financing;

— the continued availability of fronting and reinsurance capacity;

— deterioration of general economic, market or business conditions, including due to outbreaks of contagious disease and corresponding mitigation efforts;

— competitive forces, including the conduct of other insurers;

— changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its customers; and

— other factors, most of which are beyond White Mountains's control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this earnings release are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by White Mountains will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, White Mountains or its business or operations. White Mountains assumes no obligation to publicly update any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
