Arch Capital demonstrated strong financial growth and effective capital management in 2024, with significant gains in premiums and investment income. However, the impact of the California wildfires and decreased underwriting income present challenges. Despite competitive pressures, the company has strategically managed its portfolio to maintain profitability.
Company Guidance
In the Q4 2024 earnings call, Arch Capital provided substantial guidance and metrics reflecting their financial performance and strategic direction. The company reported a net premium of $3.8 billion, marking a 17% increase from the previous year, despite underwriting income falling by 13% to $625 million largely due to catastrophe-related losses. Arch Capital's full-year after-tax operating income stood at $3.5 billion with an impressive operating return on average common equity of 18.9%. The book value per share rose to $53.11, a 13% increase, or 24% when adjusted for a special dividend of $5 per share paid in December. The company also repurchased $24 million worth of shares, emphasizing their commitment to capital management. Arch Capital navigated a challenging market with a combined ratio of 78.6% for the year and encountered $393 million in catastrophe losses in Q4, mainly from hurricanes Milton and Helene. Looking forward, they expect their catastrophe load to be about 7% to 8% of their full-year group-wide net earned premium for 2025, aiming to sustain attractive margins amidst competitive pressures.
