Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most direct comparable GAAP measures and related information are provided in our financial supplement and Form 10-K and 10-Q filings, which are available on our website at www.alleghany.com. Adjusted Earnings (And Adjusted Earnings Per Share And Adjusted Return On Average Stockholders' Equity) Adjusted earnings (including in adjusted return on average stockholders' equity) and adjusted earnings per share exclude (on an after-tax basis): (i) change in the fair value of equity securities; (ii) net realized capital gains; (iii) change in allowance for credit losses for available on sale securities; (iv) amortization of intangible assets; and (v) gain on bargain purchase, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. Alleghany uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share as a supplement to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, the most comparable GAAP financial measures, to provide useful additional information to investors by highlighting net earnings and earnings per share attributable to its performance excluding change in the fair value of equity securities, realized capital gains or losses, change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities, amortization of intangible assets and gain on bargain purchase. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to net earnings attributable to Alleghany stockholders and earnings per share, respectively, is presented within "Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation" on pages 37 and 38 of the Q4 2021 Financial Supplement. Adjusted Earnings Before Income Taxes Adjusted earnings before income taxes represents product and service revenues and net investment income less other operating expenses and interest expense, and does not include: (i) change in the fair value of equity securities; (ii) net realized capital gains; (iii) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; and (iv) amortization of intangible assets. Because adjusted earnings before income taxes excludes income taxes, change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized capital gains, change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities and amortization of intangible assets, it provides an indication of economic performance that is not affected by investment activity, levels of amortization resulting from acquisition accounting or effective tax rates. Alleghany uses adjusted earnings before income taxes as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of certain of its noninsurance operating subsidiaries and investments. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings before income taxes to earnings before income taxes is presented on page 23 of the Q4 2021 Financial Supplement. 41#42Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued) Underwriting Profit Underwriting profit represents net premiums earned less net loss and LAE and commissions, brokerage and other underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, and does not include: (i) net investment income; (ii) change in the fair value of equity securities; (iii) net realized capital gains; (iv) change in allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities; (v) product and service revenues; (vi) other operating expenses; (vii) corporate administration; (viii) amortization of intangible assets; and (ix) interest expense. Alleghany uses underwriting profit as a supplement to earnings before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of its reinsurance and insurance segments and believes that underwriting profit provides useful additional information to investors because it highlights net earnings attributable to Alleghany's reinsurance and insurance segment's underwriting performance. Earnings before income taxes may show a profit despite an underlying underwriting loss, and when underwriting losses persist over extended periods, a reinsurance or an insurance company's ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be at risk. A reconciliation of underwriting profit to earnings before income taxes is presented within "Earnings by Segment" on page 11 through 12 of the Q4 2021 Financial Supplement. Book Value Per Share Excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("BVPS ex-AOCI") BVPS ex-AOCI is calculated by dividing: (i) stockholders' equity attributable to Alleghany stockholders less AOCI, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (ii) shares outstanding. Alleghany uses BVPS ex-AOCI as a supplement to BVPS, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, in order to better disclose its per share performance by excluding the effects of AOCI, which include the effect of changes in interest rates and credit spreads on its debt securities portfolio, among others. A reconciliation of BVPS to BVPS ex-AOCI is presented within "Book Value Per Share" on page 39 of the Q4 2021 Financial Supplement. 42
