Delivers 95.0% C ombined Rat io and Returns $5 million to Shareholders Through Buybacks GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLRE) (“Greenlight Re” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Highlights (all comparisons are to second quarter 2024 unless noted otherwise) : Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Highlights (all comparisons are to same period in 2024) : Greg Richardson, Chief Executive Officer of Greenlight Re, stated, “We are pleased with our second quarter 2025 underwriting results, which reflect the strength and discipline of our portfolio, and we believe our book is well positioned for a strong second half of the year. We remain committed to creating long-term value for shareholders, as demonstrated by our ongoing capital management strategy and focus on operational performance.” David Einhorn, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, “The Solasglas investment portfolio lost 4.0% during a difficult quarter. We continue to have a defensive stance, with a nearly flat net exposure, and our long investments failed to keep up with a strongly rising market. Despite this, our strong underwriting result and share buyback allowed us to increase our fully diluted book value per share.” Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In presenting the Company’s results, management has included fully diluted book value per share as a financial measure that is not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). This measure is referred to as a non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP measure may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. Management believes the measure allows for a more thorough understanding of the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should be used to monitor our results and should be considered in addition to, and not viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of the measure to the most comparable GAAP figures is included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

KEY FINANCIAL MEASURES AND NON-GAAP MEASURES Management uses certain key financial measures, some of which are not prescribed under U.S. GAAP rules and standards (“non-GAAP financial measures”), to evaluate our financial performance, financial position, and the change in shareholder value. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in SEC Regulation G, is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented under U.S. GAAP. We believe that these measures, which may be calculated or defined differently by other companies, provide consistent and comparable metrics of our business performance to help shareholders understand performance trends and facilitate a more thorough understanding of the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for those determined under U.S. GAAP. The key non-GAAP financial measure used in this news release is: This non-GAAP financial measure is described below. Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use fully diluted book value as a financial measure in our incentive compensation plan. We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry. Fully diluted book value per share should not be viewed as a substitute for the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, which in our view is the basic book value per share. We calculate basic book value per share as (a) ending shareholders' equity, divided by (b) the total ordinary shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options (assuming net exercise) and all outstanding restricted stock units, “RSUs”. We believe these adjustments better reflect the ultimate dilution to our shareholders. The following table presents a reconciliation of the fully diluted book value per share to basic book value per share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure): (1) Assuming net exercise by the grantee.
