Financial Statements of AXS

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$6.6B	+9.1%	+6.6%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$1.0B	-6.7%	+50.4%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+49.9%	+67.8%	-1.0%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+18.7%	+11.5%	+2.1%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	+15.4%	-14.5%	+41.1%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$-40.9M	-102.2%	-8.1%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	-0.6%	-102.0%	-13.9%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	23.5%	-3.9%	-2.3%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.58x	-0.9%	+392.5%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$34.5B	+5.4%	+2.8%

Q2 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Good day, and welcome to the Second Quarter AXIS Capital Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Cliff Gallant, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Clifford Gallant: Thank you. Good morning, and welcome to our second quarter 2026 conference call. Our earnings press release and financial supplement were issued last night. If you would like copies, please visit the Investor Information section of our website at axiscapital.com. We set aside an hour for today's call, which is also available as an audio webcast on our website. Joining me on today's call are Vince Tizzio, our President and CEO; and Matt Kirk, our CFO. I would like to remind everyone that the statements made during this call, including the question-and-answer session, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the risk factors set forth in the company's most recent report on the Form 10-K or our quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports the company files with the SEC. This includes the additional risks identified in the cautionary note regarding the forward-looking statements in our earnings press release issued last night. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may be discussed during this conference call. Reconciliations are included in our earnings press release and financial supplement. With that, I'll turn the call over to Vince. Vincent Tizzio: Thank you, Cliff. Good morning, and thank you for joining our call. Before sharing my prepared remarks, I want to first acknowledge the incredible efforts expended by my colleagues around the world in delivering strong first half results that are aligned to our strategic focus and ambition. This was a solid quarter where AXIS continued its track record of delivering consistent profitable growth, and our results included 14.3% annualized operating return on equity, a 15% year-over-year growth in diluted book value per share, our 15th consecutive quarter in doing so. Our performance was generated against the backdrop of a market impacted by several trends. As has been widely reported in the industry, market conditions are softening, and we are observing increasing competition and pricing pressure more broadly across the micro markets I've described in past calls. However, terms and conditions and limits have remained largely intact, and AXIS continues to lean into attractive specialty markets where we see premium adequacy and risk-adjusted returns that meet our standards. Second, the Iran conflict has generated year-to-date industry losses that is believed to be in the range of $2.5 billion to $3 …
