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.

Operator: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to SiriusPoint's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded, and a replay is available through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2026. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Liam Blackledge, Investor Relations and Strategy Manager. Please go ahead.
Liam Blackledge: Good morning, and thank you for joining us for SiriusPoint's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. Last night, we released our earnings press release, Form 10-Q and financial supplement, all available on our website at investors.siriuspt.com, along with the slides that will accompany today's discussion. Joining me on the call are Scott Egan, our Chief Executive Officer; and Jim McKinney, our Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that today's remarks contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. We will also reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful in evaluating the performance of the business. Reconciliations can be found in the presentation and our SEC filings. Please refer to our earnings release and accompanying materials for a more complete discussion of forward-looking statements and non-GAAP measures. With that, I'll turn the call over to Scott.
Scott Egan: Thank you, Liam, and welcome, everyone, to our first quarter 2026 results call. We've started the year with a strong first quarter, continuing to build on our performance momentum. We have delivered strong underwriting profits, disciplined growth and attractive capital returns, and I'm pleased with our delivery. Let me start with our headline results. We delivered a core combined ratio of 88.9%, the lowest we've reported in 6 quarters. We grew our Insurance & Services gross written premiums by 8%. Our operating return on equity of 15.3% puts us at the top end once again of our 12% to 15% across the cycle target range. Our GAAP return on equity was higher at 17.4%, reflecting the closure of the Arcadian sale we announced last year. Our balance sheet is very strong with a BSCR ratio of 242% for the first quarter. We have redeemed $200 million of preference shares and, as of earlier this week, have bought back over $40 million of common shares. We are announcing today that we are increasing our $100 million buyback intention we announced at full year results by the remainder of our existing authorization, which is another $74 million. Our book value per share is up 5%. And finally, our financial strength ratings have been upgraded to A over the past 3 months by S&P, Fitch and AM Best. These results continue to reinforce the progress we're making in building a best-in-class specialty underwriter with a diversified low-volatility portfolio. Turning to some of our headlines in more detail and starting with our top line. There's no question that certain parts of the P&C …
