"Operating income (loss)" after tax is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measure often used by investors to evaluate performance in the insurance and reinsurance industry. Operating income (loss) after tax is equal to net income available to common shareholders, excluding net realized gains. Although realized gains or losses are an integral part of the Company's operations, the amount recognized during any particular period cannot be reasonably estimated and can vary significantly. Management believes that providing operating income (loss) after tax to investors is a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the Company's performance. A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to operating income (loss) after tax and related amounts per diluted common share is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts): |
