Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(unaudited – in US$ and $ millions except per share amounts and as otherwise indicated)

1.    Business Operations

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“the company” or “Fairfax”) is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in property and casualty insurance and reinsurance and the associated investment management. The holding company is federally incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada.

2.    Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements of the company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures typically included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

On January 1, 2023 the company adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts ("IFRS 17") as issued by the IASB. Details of the transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS 17 are described in note 3 and the effects on the company's total equity as at January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, investment property and fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value, and insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held which have been measured in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 3.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the company’s Board of Directors on May 11, 2023.

3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied to the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are as set out in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Those policies and methods of computation have been consistently applied to all periods presented except as described below.

New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2023

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts ("IFRS 17")

IFRS 17, a comprehensive standard for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts, was adopted by the company on January 1, 2023. The standard requires entities to measure insurance contracts using current estimates of fulfillment cash flows, which include all future cash flows associated with insurance contracts, under one of three measurement models, of which the company principally uses two as discussed below. The company primarily underwrites commercial property, casualty, and specialty risks including treaty and facultative reinsurance. The company, through Eurolife, also writes life, disability, accident, health and critical illness insurance in addition to offering investment related products.

Definition and classification

Insurance contracts - Insurance contracts are those contracts that have significant insurance risk at the inception of the contract. Insurance risk arises when the company agrees to compensate a policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder, with the possibility of paying, including variability in the timing of payments, significantly more in a scenario where the insured event occurs than when it does not occur. Contracts not meeting the definition of an insurance contract are classified as investment contracts, derivative contracts or service contracts, as appropriate. Insurance contracts include both direct and assumed (reinsurance) insurance contracts issued by the company.

Reinsurance contract assets held - Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the company of its liability associated with underlying insurance contracts. Reinsurance contract assets held are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet to indicate the extent of credit risk and the obligations of the company to its policyholders.

Insurance contracts acquired in a transfer or in a business combination - Insurance contracts acquired in a transfer or in a business combination represent the risk of future development of claims that have already been incurred and the settlement of those claims in addition to any unexpired insurance coverage remaining on the acquired contracts.

8

---

Unit of account and recognition - Insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held are required to be aggregated into portfolios of insurance contracts, based on underlying risk and the management of those risks, then further aggregated into groups based on the underlying expected profitability and date of issuance, with groups not containing contracts issued more than one year apart.

Insurance contracts are recognized from the earliest of: the beginning of the insurance contract's coverage period; when payment from the policyholder becomes due or, if there is no contractual due date, when it is received; and when a contract is onerous.

Reinsurance contract assets held that provide proportionate reinsurance coverage are recognized from the later of: the beginning of the reinsurance contract's coverage period; and when underlying insurance contracts are initially recognized.

Other reinsurance contract assets held are recognized at the beginning of the coverage period for the reinsurance contract unless the company recognizes onerous insurance contracts on an earlier date which are reinsured and the related reinsurance contract was entered into prior to the onerous contract being recognized, in which case the reinsurance contract assets held are recognized at the date the onerous groups of underlying insurance contracts are recognized.

When insurance and reinsurance contract assets held are recognized, they are added to an existing group of contracts where possible. If the insurance contract cannot be added to an existing group based on the criteria set out above, a new group is formed. Groups of contracts are established on initial recognition and their composition is not revised once all contracts have been added to the group.

For insurance contracts acquired with incurred claims and remaining coverage, the company is considered to have issued a new, separate insurance contract with two coverages: coverage for claims events that have yet to occur and coverage for the development of claims events that have already occurred. For acquired contracts in their settlement period which are fully earned, the company is considered to have issued an adverse development cover for the acquired claim liability. These types of insurance contracts are accounted for as if they were entered into at the date of acquisition or transfer.

Measurement

The company measures its insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, depending on the types of contracts written, using principally two models: Premium Allocation Approach ("PAA") and to a lesser extent the General Measurement Model ("GMM"), primarily at its life and run-off operations. Short-duration contracts where there is no significant variability in cash flows are primarily measured using the PAA, while long-duration contracts, which often include acquired contracts, are primarily measured using the GMM. The principles for initial and subsequent measurement when applying the GMM or the PAA are applicable to both property and casualty and life insurance contracts. The measurement components are:

Contract boundary - The contract boundary determines the cash flows that are included in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. For insurance contracts, cash flows are within the contract boundary if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the company can compel the policyholder to pay premiums or has a substantive obligation to provide services including insurance coverage. For reinsurance contract assets held, cash flows are within the contract boundary if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the company is compelled to pay amounts to the reinsurer or has a substantive right to receive services from the reinsurer.

Fulfillment cash flows within the contract boundary - Fulfillment cash flows are current estimates of cash flows within the contract boundary of a group of contracts which include premiums, claims, acquisition costs and other expenses that the company expects, adjusted to reflect the timing and uncertainty of those amounts with an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

There are two types of directly attributable costs that are included in the contract boundary:

Acquisition costs - Certain costs of acquiring insurance contracts, consisting of broker commissions, premium taxes, underwriting costs and related overhead are deferred and amortized into earnings as the related premiums are earned. Insurance acquisition cash flows are allocated to groups of insurance contracts based on the contracts that generated the expenses. Insurance acquisition cash flows paid before the recognition of the related group of contracts are recognized as an asset and subsequently derecognized and included within the group of insurance contracts when the related contracts are recognized. At each reporting date, the company assesses for impairment and will recognize impairment losses when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected net cash inflows for the related group of insurance contracts. The company reverses any impairment losses and increases the carrying amount of the asset to the extent that the impairment conditions have reversed.

Other costs that are incurred in fulfilling insurance contracts - These comprise all remaining directly attributable costs that are not categorized as acquisition costs and include losses on claims, together with both allocated and unallocated loss adjustment expenses, and related overhead.

Contracts measured under the Premium Allocation Approach

The company uses the PAA for measuring all insurance and reinsurance contract assets held which are eligible for the simplified methodology. Insurance and reinsurance contract assets held are eligible when the coverage period of each contract in the group is one year or less or the company reasonably expects that the resulting measurement of the liability for remaining coverage ("LRC") would

---

not differ materially from that of applying the GMM. When comparing the different possible measurements, the company considers the impact of different release patterns of the LRC to the consolidated statement of earnings, the impact of discounting and financial risks, and whether significant variability in the cash flows exists.

Insurance contracts

Initial measurement - On initial recognition of each group of insurance contracts, the carrying amount of the LRC is measured as the premiums received on initial recognition minus any insurance acquisition cash flows allocated to the group, adjusted for any amounts previously recognized for cash flows related to the group (including assets for insurance acquisition cash flows). The company defers and amortizes insurance acquisition cash flows for all groups of contracts. Unless the contracts are onerous, the explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk is only estimated for the measurement of the liability for incurred claims ("LIC").

If there are indications that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, then the company recognizes a loss in insurance service expense in the consolidated statement of earnings and increases the LRC if the current estimates of the fulfillment cash flows that relate to remaining coverage exceed the carrying amount of the LRC. This excess is recognized as a loss component within the LRC, which is reported in insurance contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent measurement - The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting date is the sum of the LRC and the LIC. On subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of the LRC is increased by any premiums received and the amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows recognized as expenses, and decreased by the amount recognized as insurance revenue for services provided and any additional insurance acquisition cash flows allocated after initial recognition.

The LIC includes the fulfillment cash flows for losses on claims and expenses that have not yet been paid, including claims that have been incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). It reflects both a risk adjustment for non-financial risk and the time value of money as most of the company's insurance contracts issued and measured under the PAA typically have a settlement period of over one year.

In each reporting period, the company remeasures the loss component using the same calculation as on initial recognition and reflects any changes by adjusting the loss component as required until the loss component is reduced to zero, with such adjustments recognized in insurance service expenses. If a loss component did not exist on initial recognition but there are indications that a group of contracts is onerous on subsequent measurement, then the company establishes the loss component using the same methodology as on initial recognition.

Reinsurance contract assets held

Initial measurement - On initial recognition of each group of reinsurance contracts, the carrying amount of the asset for remaining coverage ("ARC") is measured as the premiums paid (i.e. premiums ceded) on initial recognition, adjusted for ceding commissions that are not contingent on claims and any amounts previously recognized for cash flows related to the group. The company does not recognize any insurance acquisition cash flows for reinsurance contract assets held. For contracts measured under the PAA, the explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk is only estimated for the measurement of the asset for incurred claims ("AIC").

When there is an onerous group of underlying contracts, a loss-recovery component is created for the group of reinsurance contract assets held which adjusts the ARC, and determines the amounts that are subsequently presented in the consolidated statement of earnings within net reinsurance result as reversals of recoveries of losses and removed from the cost of reinsurance.

Subsequent measurement - The carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contract assets held at each reporting date is the sum of the ARC and the AIC. On subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of the ARC is increased by any premiums paid, and reduced by the amount recognized as cost of reinsurance for services received.

For contracts measured under the PAA, the asset for incurred claims is measured consistent with the asset for incurred claims under the GMM and reflects a risk adjustment for non-financial risk and the time value of money as most of the company's reinsurance contract assets held and measured under the PAA typically have a settlement period of over one year.

If a loss-recovery component exists, it is adjusted on subsequent measurement to reflect changes in the loss component of the onerous group of underlying contracts to the extent that it impacts reinsured cash flows, but it cannot exceed the portion of the loss component of the onerous group of underlying contracts that the company expects to recover from the reinsurance contract assets held.

Contracts measured under the General Measurement Model

Insurance contracts

Initial measurement - On initial recognition, the company measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of (i) fulfillment cash flows, which comprise estimates of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money and both financial and non-financial risk, and (ii) the contractual service margin ("CSM") representing the unearned profit.

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk for a group of insurance contracts, determined separately from the other estimates, reflects the compensation required for bearing uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arise from non-financial risk. For insurance contracts issued, the portion of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk relating to the LRC is recognized in insurance

10

revenue as the risk is released, while the portion relating to the LIC is recognized in insurance service expenses. The entire change in the risk adjustment is therefore included within the insurance service result in the consolidated statement of earnings. The significant judgments used in determining the risk adjustment are further described in note 4.

The CSM on initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts is recognized as the net inflow of the total of fulfillment cash flows and any amount arising from the derecognition of any assets or liabilities previously recognized for cash flows related to the group (including assets from insurance acquisition cash flows).

If the fulfillment cash flows are a net outflow, then the group of insurance contracts is onerous and the net outflow is recognized as a loss within insurance service expense in the consolidated statement of earnings and as a loss component within the LRC on the consolidated balance sheet to represent the amount of the net cash outflow, which determines the amounts that are subsequently presented within insurance revenue and insurance service expense.

Subsequent measurement - The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting date is the sum of the LRC and the LIC. The LRC comprises the fulfillment cash flows that relate to future insurance coverage and services and remaining CSM. The LIC includes the fulfillment cash flows for losses on claims and expenses that have not yet been paid, including claims that have been incurred but not reported.

The fulfillment cash flows of groups of insurance contracts are measured at the reporting date using current estimates of future cash flows, current discount rates and current estimates of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

Changes in expected fulfillment cash flows which relate to future services adjust the CSM or are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings if there is a loss component or no CSM. Changes in fulfillment cash flows which relate to current or past services are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings. Any changes from the effects of the time value of money or financial risk are recognized within net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts in the consolidated statement of earnings.

The CSM of each group of contracts is adjusted to reflect changes in unearned profit, including from new contracts, interest accretion on the CSM, assumption changes related to future service that impact the fulfillment cash flows, effects of currency exchange differences on the CSM, and CSM recognized in revenue for services provided in the reporting period.

If a loss component exists, when there are changes to the fulfillment cash flows within the LRC, they are allocated between the loss component and the LRC excluding the loss component on a systematic basis. The systematic basis is determined by the proportion of the loss component relative to the total estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows plus the risk adjustment for nonfinancial risk at the beginning of each year (or on initial recognition if a group of contracts is initially recognized in the year). Decreases in future fulfillment cash flows reduce the remaining loss component and reinstate the CSM after the loss component is reduced to zero, and conversely, increases in future fulfillment cash flows increase the loss component with changes in the loss component recognized within insurance service expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. The company applies the systematic allocation first before increases and decreases to the loss component related to future service in each reporting period. Insurance finance income or expense will be allocated to the loss component as part of the systematic allocation at current rates.

Reinsurance contract assets held

Initial measurement - On initial recognition, the CSM of a group of reinsurance contract assets held represents the net cost or net gain on purchasing reinsurance. The CSM is measured as the equal and opposite amount of the total of the fulfillment cash flows, any amounts arising from the derecognition of any assets or liabilities previously recognized for cash flows related to the group, any cash flows arising at that date and any income recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings because of onerous underlying contracts recognized at that date. However, if any net cost on purchasing reinsurance coverage relates to insured events that occurred before the initial recognition of the group, then the company recognizes the cost immediately in the consolidated statement of earnings as an expense in net reinsurance result.

The company measures the estimates of the present value of future cash flows using assumptions that are consistent with those used to measure the estimates of the present value of future cash flows for the underlying insurance contracts, with an adjustment for any risk of non-performance by the reinsurer which represents losses from disputes or credit risk. The company does not recognize any insurance acquisition cash flows for reinsurance contract assets held.

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the amount of risk being transferred by the company to the reinsurer and is calculated by determining these amounts on a gross and net of reinsurance basis, with the difference representing the amounts transferred. The significant judgments used in determining the risk adjustment are further described in note 4.

The company adjusts the CSM of the group of reinsurance contracts and recognizes a loss-recovery component on initial recognition of onerous underlying contracts, if the reinsurance contract is entered into before or at the same time as the onerous underlying contracts are recognized. The adjustment to the CSM is determined by multiplying the amount of the loss that relates to the underlying contracts and the expected percentage of claims recovery on the underlying contracts.

11

---

A loss-recovery component is created for the group of reinsurance contract assets held which adjusts the CSM, and determines the amounts that are subsequently presented in the consolidated statement of earnings within net reinsurance result as reversals of recoveries of losses and removed from the cost of reinsurance.

For reinsurance contract assets held acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination covering onerous underlying contracts, the adjustment to the CSM is determined using the same calculation, except it is calculated at the date of acquisition. For reinsurance contract assets held acquired in a business combination, the adjustment to the CSM reduces goodwill or increases a gain on a bargain purchase.

Subsequent measurement - The carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contract assets held at each reporting date is the sum of the ARC and the AIC. The ARC comprises (i) the fulfillment cash flows that relate to services that will be received under the contracts in future periods, and (ii) any remaining CSM at that date. The AIC includes the fulfillment cash flows for recovery of losses on claims and expenses that have not yet been received, including for recovery of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported.

The CSM of each group of reinsurance contract assets held is adjusted to reflect changes in future cash flows, including from new contracts, assumption changes, and the amounts recognized in the statement of earnings from services received in the reporting period.

If a loss-recovery component exists, it is adjusted on subsequent measurement to reflect changes in the loss component of the onerous group of underlying contracts to the extent that it impacts reinsured cash flows, but it cannot exceed the portion of the loss component of the onerous group of underlying contracts that the company expects to recover from the reinsurance contract assets held.

Insurance contracts acquired in a transfer or in a business combination

Initial measurement - On initial recognition of insurance contracts that are acquired in a transfer or in a business combination, the company records the contracts as if it had entered into them on the acquisition date. The consideration received or paid represents the premium deemed to be received for insurance contracts acquired in a transfer or in a business combination. Consequently, the acquired contracts which are in their settlement period are included within the LRC and extends the coverage period to reflect the expected settlement of these claims.

Subsequent measurement - On subsequent measurement of insurance contracts that are acquired in a transfer or in a business combination, the company accounts for the contracts using the same principles as applied to other insurance contracts measured under the GMM and the LRC will be released into insurance revenue over the expected claims settlement pattern with the expenses representing the settlement of claims.

Derecognition and contract modification

An insurance contract is derecognized when it is extinguished, i.e. when the specified obligations in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. An insurance contract is also derecognized if its terms are modified in a way that would have significantly changed the accounting for the contract had the new terms always existed, in which case a new contract based on the modified terms is recognized. If an insurance contract modification does not result in derecognition, then the changes in cash flows caused by the modification are treated as changes in estimates of fulfillment cash flows.

Presentation

Portfolios of insurance contracts that are assets and those that are liabilities, and portfolios of reinsurance contract assets held that are assets and those that are liabilities, are presented net on the consolidated balance sheet. Any assets or liabilities recognized for cash flows arising before the recognition of the related group of contracts (including any assets for insurance acquisition cash flows) are included in the carrying amount of the related portfolios of contracts (see note 8).

Amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings for insurance contracts are disaggregated into (i) an insurance service result, comprised of insurance revenue and insurance service expenses ("net insurance result"), (ii) cost of reinsurance and recoveries of insurance service expense ("net reinsurance result"), and (iii) net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts.

Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are not disaggregated between the insurance service result and net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts. All changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are included in the insurance service result in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Consolidated Statement of Earnings

Insurance revenue

Contracts measured under the PAA

For contracts measured under the PAA, the company recognizes insurance revenue based on the expected premium receipts and the passage of time over the coverage period of a group of contracts unless the release of risk differs significantly from the passage of time, in which case insurance revenue is recognized based on the release of risk.

Contracts measured under the GMM

Insurance revenue is recognized over the coverage terms of the underlying policies in accordance with the level of protection provided, which is represented by the total of the changes in the LRC for which consideration is expected, comprised of the following:

•a release of the CSM, measured based on services provided as described below;

•changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk relating to current services, measured at the amounts expected at the beginning of the year;

•claims and other insurance service expenses incurred in the period, measured at the amounts expected at the beginning of the year;

•insurance revenue would be reduced by systematic allocations to the loss component for changes in risk adjustment and incurred claims and other insurance service expenses;

•amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows; and

•other amounts, including premium experience adjustments.

The amount of the CSM that is recognized as insurance revenue in each period is determined by calculating the amount of insurance services provided in the current period compared to future periods over the expected coverage period. The expected coverage period reflects the coverage term and expectations of insured events occurring to the extent that they affect the expected coverage period.

Insurance service expense

Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as they are incurred and include losses on claims, other insurance service expenses, amortization of insurance acquisition costs, losses and reversals of losses on onerous contracts, and impairment losses and reversals of those impairment losses on insurance acquisition cash flow assets.

Net reinsurance result

Net reinsurance result comprises the cost of reinsurance less recoveries of insurance service expenses from reinsurers. The cost of reinsurance is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as services are received from the reinsurer over the coverage period. Recoveries of insurance service expenses from reinsurers are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as claims and other insurance service expenses are recovered, including any changes in expectations for these amounts, and recoveries and reversals of recoveries of the loss-recovery component. The establishment of the loss-recovery component and subsequent increases or decreases in the loss-recovery component related to future service are presented in net reinsurance result.

Net finance income or expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held

Net finance income or expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings are comprised of changes in the carrying amounts of insurance and reinsurance contracts arising from the effects of the time value of money. The sources of the insurance finance income and expense arise from the effects of discounting the fulfillment cash flows within the ARC and LRC under the GMM and the AIC and LIC under all measurement models at current rates; discounting the ARC and LRC under the PAA where a significant financing component exists and accreting interest on the CSM at locked-in rates. Other financial risks include the effect of foreign exchange movements within a group of contracts where there are cash flows being converted into the functional currency at each reporting date to reflect insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities being treated as monetary items.

Insurance contract receivables and payables

Insurance contract receivables and payables primarily consist of amounts owing from and to third party administrators and other intermediaries that are not directly attributable to a specific group of insurance or reinsurance contracts.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currencies of subsidiaries using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities related to insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets held are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Impact of Transition

Under the transitional provisions of IFRS 17, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 17 was an increase to common shareholders' equity of $150.2, which was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings in the opening consolidated balance sheet as at January 1, 2022. Additionally, each prior period presented was restated as required, resulting in an increase to consolidated net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax of $2,229.3 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and a cumulative increase to common shareholders' equity of $2,439.6 at December 31, 2022. These adjustments are presented in the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 as applicable.

The majority of the company's insurance contracts issued and reinsurance contract assets held are measured using the PAA, minimizing the differences between IFRS 4 and IFRS 17. The measurement principles using the PAA which differ from those under IFRS 4 primarily include:

•the discounting and the inclusion of a specific risk adjustment for non-financial risk for the provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses (previously included in insurance contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) and now included within the LIC and AIC;

•the measurement of unearned premiums (previously included in insurance contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) and deferred premium acquisition costs which are now measured as the actual cash flows of premiums received less insurance acquisition cash flows paid and are included net within the LRC and ARC;

•the netting of certain assumed ceding commission expenses with insurance revenue which were shown gross in the consolidated statement of earnings under IFRS 4;

•the netting of certain reinsurance ceded commission revenue with the cost of reinsurance which were shown gross in the consolidated statement of earnings under IFRS 4; and

•the inclusion of net insurance finance income or expense from insurance contracts issued and reinsurance contract assets held in the consolidated statement of earnings which represents the accretion of the effect of discounting and the changes in interest rates and other financial assumptions.

The cumulative increases to common shareholders' equity were comprised as follows:

			December 31, 2022						January 1, 2022
Common shareholders' equity as previously reported			15,340.7						15,049.6
IFRS 17 adjustments:
Discounting of provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses			4,668.7						1,536.9
Inclusion of a specific risk adjustment for non-financial risk for provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses			(1,635.5)						(1,421.8)
Other measurement adjustments			375.8						106.7
Deferred income taxes			(726.1)						(60.9)
Non-controlling interests			(243.3)						(10.7)
			2,439.6						150.2
Common shareholders' equity as restated			17,780.3						15,199.8

The full retrospective approach was principally applied to identify, recognize and measure insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held on transition to IFRS 17 where practicable. Where impracticable, the modified retrospective approach was applied.

Full retrospective approach ("FRA") - Under the FRA, at January 1, 2022 the company identified, recognized and measured each group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held and any assets for acquisition costs, and derecognized previously reported balances that would not have existed had IFRS 17 always been applied. These included deferred premium acquisition costs for insurance contracts and certain insurance contract receivables and payables including loss reserves and unearned premiums which are included in the measurement of the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held under IFRS 17.

The company considered the FRA impracticable where effects of the retrospective application were not determinable or where hindsight was required to make assumptions on management's intent in previous periods including estimating the amounts recognized, measured or disclosed in those periods. Considerations for impracticability included data limitations related to system changes and conversions, data retention, and data quality.

The company determined that reasonable and supportable information was available for the majority of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, particularly those that are measured under the PAA. Where the FRA was determined to be impracticable, the modified retrospective approach was used and primarily related to certain long-duration contracts and acquired insurance contracts where the measurement models were those other than the PAA.

14

---

Irrespective of the transition approach applied, the consequential amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations introduced by IFRS 17 required that contracts acquired be classified as insurance contracts based on the contractual terms and other factors at the date of acquisition. This requirement was not applied to business combinations before January 1, 2023, for which contracts acquired were classified as insurance contracts based on the conditions at contract inception.

Consolidated statements of cash flows - The application of IFRS 17 did not affect the company's total cash flows from each of operating, investing, or financing activities.

Other accounting pronouncements adopted in 2023

On January 1, 2023 the company also adopted the following amendments, which did not have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12), Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) and Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8).

4.    Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In these interim consolidated financial statements management has made critical estimates and judgments in determining: (i) the measurement of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held (notes 8 and 9 respectively) as described below; and (ii) the fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (note 5) in a manner consistent with that described in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held

Fulfillment cash flows - Fulfillment cash flows comprise estimates of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money for both financial and non-financial risk. These estimates reflect a range of possible scenarios and outcomes, where the cash flows from each scenario are discounted and weighted by the estimated probability of that outcome to derive an expected present value. The estimates of future cash flows reflect the company's view of current conditions at the reporting date. This information includes both internal and external historical data about claims and other experience, updated to reflect current expectations of future events that might affect those cash flows.

The model to value the fulfillment cash flows may also include certain qualitative adjustments using professional judgment in circumstances where, in the company’s view, the existing inputs, assumptions, or modelling techniques do not capture all relevant risk factors. Where, through model development, the company identifies that the existing models do not capture all relevant risk factors or have other input or data limitations, post-model adjustments are used to address temporary shortcomings. Such adjustments may require significant judgment and may affect the amounts recognized.

The most significant judgments within the estimates of fulfillment cash flows are for property and casualty insurance provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include estimates of future cash flows from losses on claims which have not yet been paid and that are included within the LIC. These balances are estimated based on Canadian accepted actuarial practices, which are designed to ensure the company establishes an appropriate reserve on the consolidated balance sheet to cover insured losses and related claims expenses for both reported claims and IBNR claims as at each balance sheet date. The assumptions underlying the estimation of provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses are regularly reviewed and updated by the company to reflect recent and emerging trends in experience and changes in the risk profile of the business. The estimation techniques employed by the company in determining provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses and the inherent uncertainties associated with insurance contracts are described in the "Insurance contracts" and "Reinsurance contract assets held" sections of note 3 of these interim consolidated financial statements, and in the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the "Underwriting Risk" section of note 24 and note 8 for the historic development of the company’s insurance contract liabilities (adjustments to LIC).

Contract boundaries - The assessment of the contract boundary, which defines which cash flows are included in the measurement of a contract, requires judgment and consideration of the company’s substantive rights and obligations under the contract. In specific circumstances such as open-ended reinsurance covers, judgment is required in identifying how particular clauses shorten or lengthen the contract boundary. Further, significant judgment is required in determining expense allocations: the company generally allocates acquisition costs to groups of contracts based on total premiums, claims handling costs based on the number of claims, and maintenance and administration costs based on the number of in-force contracts. Other costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as they are incurred.

Discount rates - Cash flows are discounted using risk-free yield curves, adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the cash flows and the liquidity of the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. The company determines the yield curves using commercially available currency-specific rates and illiquidity premiums.

The tables below set out the primary yield curves that were used to discount the cash flows of insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held for currencies in which approximately 80% of the company's insurance revenue volume is based.

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk - The risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the compensation that the company requires for bearing uncertainty with respect to both the amount and the timing of cash flows that arise from non-financial risk from the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. The risk adjustment is measured at each of the company's insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, reflecting their estimates of uncertainty, diversification benefits and expected favourable and unfavourable outcomes. For reinsurance contract assets held, the risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the amount of risk being transferred by the company to the reinsurer. The company aggregates the sum of risk adjustments across its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and does not redistribute further benefits of diversification achieved at a consolidated level between subsidiaries. The insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries generally use stochastic bootstrapping for claims loss reserves and combines the resulting loss distributions with distributions for premiums, expenses, catastrophe losses and other risks provided using an appropriate dependency structure such as correlation matrices and copula. When determining their risk adjustments two quantile techniques are primarily used: value-at-risk and conditional tail expectation. The company then consolidates using stochastic methods, applying appropriate correlation structures between subsidiaries to produce a consolidated distribution. The aggregate risk adjustment is compared to the consolidated distribution to determine the confidence interval using a value-at-risk quantile technique. The resulting amount of the calculated risk adjustment corresponds to a consolidated confidence level at March 31, 2023 of 83.7% (December 31, 2022 - 84.0%; and January 1, 2022 - 84.4%).

Fixed Income Maturity Profile

Bonds are summarized by their earliest contractual maturity date in the table below. Actual maturities may differ from maturities shown due to the existence of call and put features. The table below excludes the impact of: U.S. treasury bond forward contracts to sell long-dated U.S. treasury bonds with a notional amount at March 31, 2023 of $194.5 (December 31, 2022 - $183.7) that economically hedge the company's exposure to interest rate risk; and U.S. treasury bond forward contracts entered into during the first quarter of 2023 to buy U.S. treasury bonds with a notional amount at March 31, 2023 of $2,984.7 (December 31, 2022 - nil) as described in note 7. The decrease in the company's holdings of bonds due in 1 year or less and after 1 year through 3 years was primarily due to net sales and maturities of short-dated U.S. treasury bonds of $5,275.0. The increase in the company's holdings of bonds due after 3 years through 5 years was primarily due to net re-investments of proceeds on net sales and maturities of short-dated U.S. treasury bonds into mid-dated U.S. treasury bonds with maturities between 3 to 5 years of $5,928.0.

(1)    Includes interest and dividends, share of profit of associates and net gains (losses) on investments reported in the Non-insurance companies and Corporate and other reporting segments as disclosed in note 15.

The company's capital management objectives, which are discussed in the Capital Management section of note 14, include maintaining sufficient liquid resources at the holding company and operating company levels to meet company obligations while remaining opportunistic in deploying capital. As a result, there is not a direct relationship between the company's net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held and the investment return on the portfolio investments. Certain of the company's investments, principally within the fixed income portfolio, are subject to interest rate risk (as discussed in note 14) and the net gains or losses on those investments which may result from changes in market interest rates may not correspond directly with changes in the company's net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. While net insurance finance income or expense reflects the effects and changes in time value of money and financial risk related to these net liabilities, investment returns are based on the company's overall investment strategy.

12.    Acquisitions and Divestitures

Subsequent to March 31, 2023

Acquisition of additional interest in Gulf Insurance

On April 19, 2023 the company entered into an agreement to acquire all shares of Gulf Insurance Group K.S.C.P. (“Gulf Insurance”) under the control of KIPCO and certain of its affiliates, representing 46.3% of the equity of Gulf Insurance. In accordance with applicable Kuwaiti regulatory requirements and the rules of the Boursa Kuwait, the exchange on which Gulf Insurance’s shares are traded, the company will pay the purchase price to KIPCO in full in Kuwaiti Dinar on closing. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, immediately following settlement of the transaction, KIPCO shall return to the company in cash the full purchase price less an amount of Kuwaiti Dinar equal to $200.0, together with a cash payment equal to all dividends received by KIPCO from Gulf Insurance after January 1, 2023, and the company will deliver to KIPCO a payment deed of $660.0 which requires the company to make four equal annual payments of $165.0 to KIPCO beginning on the first anniversary of closing of the transaction.

The company's acquisition of all of KIPCO's shares in Gulf Insurance will be for aggregate fair valuation consideration of approximately $770 (approximately 236 million Kuwaiti Dinar), to be paid as $200.0 in cash and the fair value of approximately $570 in a payment deed. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to be in the second half of 2023. On closing of the transaction, the company's equity interest in Gulf Insurance will increase from 43.7% to a controlling interest of 90.0%. Accordingly, the company anticipates that upon closing it will consolidate the assets and liabilities of Gulf Insurance and will record a pre-tax gain of approximately $300, with changes in the company's carrying value of its equity accounted investment in Gulf Insurance up until the date of closing affecting the pre-tax gain.

Sale of Ambridge Group by Brit

On May 10, 2023 Brit completed the sale of Ambridge Group ("Ambridge"), its Managing General Underwriter operations, to Amynta Group. The company received approximately $388 as part of the transaction, comprised principally of cash of $275.0 and a promissory note with a fair value of approximately $113. An additional $100.0 may be receivable based on 2023 performance targets of Ambridge. In its consolidated financial reporting in the second quarter of 2023, the company will deconsolidate assets and liabilities with carrying values at March 31, 2023 of approximately $417 and $286, and will record a pre-tax gain of approximately $255 (prior to ascribing any fair value to the potential additional receivable).

13.    Income Taxes

The company’s provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31 were comprised as follows:

			First quarter
			2023						2022
Current income tax:
Current year expense			139.5						83.0
Adjustments to prior years’ income taxes			(8.4)						0.9
			131.1						83.9
Deferred income tax:
Origination and reversal of temporary differences			209.9						123.1
Adjustments to prior years' deferred income taxes			24.1						(0.6)
			234.0						122.5
Provision for income taxes			365.1						206.4

Reconciliations of the provision for income taxes calculated at the Canadian statutory income tax rate to the provision for income taxes at the effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31 are presented in the following table:

			First quarter
			2023						2022
Canadian statutory income tax rate			26.5		%				26.5		%
Provision for income taxes at the Canadian statutory income tax rate			468.8						239.9
Non-taxable investment income and losses			(29.4)						6.4
Tax rate differential on income and losses outside Canada			(144.6)						(35.4)
Change in unrecorded tax benefit of losses and temporary differences			21.6						(11.5)
Other including permanent differences			48.7						7.0
Provision for income taxes			365.1						206.4

The tax rate differential on income and losses outside Canada of $144.6 in the first quarter of 2023 principally related to income taxed at lower rates in the U.S., Bermuda and Barbados. The tax rate differential on income and losses outside Canada of $35.4 in the first quarter of 2022 principally related to income taxed at lower rates in the U.S. and Barbados.

14.    Financial Risk Management

Overview

There were no significant changes to the company's risk exposures, including underwriting risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and various market risk, or the processes used by the company for managing those risk exposures at March 31, 2023 compared to those identified and discussed in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as described below.

Underwriting Risk

The adoption of IFRS 17 did not affect the company's exposure to, or management of, underwriting risk, which is described in the company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, but has resulted in changes to the terms used to describe underwriting risk. Underwriting risk upon adoption of IFRS 17 is the risk that insurance service expenses will exceed insurance revenue and can arise as a result of numerous factors, including pricing risk, reserving risk and catastrophe risk.

Credit Risk

Cash and short term investments

The company’s cash and short term investments (including those of the holding company) are primarily held at major financial institutions in the jurisdictions in which the company operates. In response to the global bank failures and economic volatility created by the events of the March 2023 banking crisis, the company expanded its monitoring of risks associated with cash and short term investments by regularly reviewing the financial strength and creditworthiness of the financial institutions with which it transacts. From these reviews, the company determined it had limited exposure to financial institutions where it perceived heightened credit risk.

Investments in debt instruments

The composition of the company's investments in bonds classified according to the higher of each security's respective S&P and Moody's issuer credit rating is presented in the table below. Management considers high quality debt instruments to be those with a S&P or Moody's issuer credit rating of BBB/Baa or higher.

						March 31, 2023																		December 31, 2022
Issuer Credit Rating						Amortized cost						Carrying value						%						Amortized cost						Carrying value						%

Total						32,764.4						32,545.2						100.0						29,968.6						29,001.2						100.0

(1)    Includes the company's investments in first mortgage loans at March 31, 2023 of $2,612.2 (December 31, 2022 - $2,500.7) secured by real estate predominantly in the U.S., Europe and Canada.

---

The increase in bonds rated AAA/Aaa primarily reflected net purchases of U.S. treasury bonds of $1,770.0. The increase in bonds rated AA/Aa was primarily due to net purchases of other government bonds of $380.6, while the increase in bonds rated BB/Ba was primarily due to net purchases of Greek government bonds and the increase in unrated bonds reflected net purchases of first mortgage loans of $102.7 and certain private placement corporate and other bonds.

Liquidity Risk

The holding company's remaining known significant commitments for 2023 consist of payment of interest and corporate overhead expenses, preferred share dividends, income tax payments, potential payments on amounts borrowed, if any, from the revolving credit facility and other investment related activities and the anticipated acquisition of additional interest in Gulf Insurance. The company may also make payments related to its derivative contracts and capital support for its insurance and reinsurance companies (for underwriting initiatives in favourable insurance markets).

Additionally, pursuant to the sale of RiverStone Barbados in 2021, the company, through financial instruments referred to as AVLNs, had guaranteed the value of certain securities held by the purchaser and certain affiliates thereof until such time that the securities are purchased by or sold at the direction of Hamblin Watsa, of which $393.0 remain held at March 31, 2023 and are required to be purchased or sold prior to the end of 2023, as described in note 7.

In the second quarter of 2023, Brit will pay a special dividend of approximately $275 to the holding company as a result of the net proceeds from the sale of its MGA Ambridge, as described in note 12.

Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The company's exposure to interest rate risk increased in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to net re-investments of proceeds on sales and maturities of short-dated U.S. treasury bonds into longer-dated U.S. treasury bonds. To reduce its exposure to interest rate risk (primarily exposure to certain long-dated U.S. corporate bonds and U.S. state and municipal bonds held in its fixed income portfolio), the company held forward contracts to sell long-dated U.S. treasury bonds with notional amounts of $194.5 at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $183.7) and continued to maintain a relatively low duration on its bond portfolio (see note 5 for details of the company's fixed income maturity profile). During the first quarter of 2023 the company entered into forward contracts to buy U.S. treasury bonds with a notional amount at March 31, 2023 of $2,984.7 (December 31, 2022 - nil) where the contracts held will provide an investment opportunity to buy U.S. treasury bonds as other fixed income investments mature. There were no other significant changes to the company's framework used to monitor, evaluate and manage interest rate risk at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022.

The table below displays the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the company's fixed income portfolio based on parallel 200 basis point shifts up and down, in 100 basis point increments, which the company believes to be reasonably possible in the current economic environment given the continued uncertainty caused by increased inflationary pressures and interest rates. This analysis was performed on each individual security to determine the hypothetical effect on net earnings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(as of May 11, 2023)

(Figures and amounts are in US$ and $ millions except per share amounts and as otherwise indicated. Figures may not add due to rounding.)

Notes to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(1)Readers of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should review the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the notes to the MD&A in the company's 2022 Annual Report.

(2)In this MD&A, Life Insurance and Run-off is included in references to the insurance and reinsurance companies and excluded in references to the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies.

(3)The company presents information on gross premiums written and net premiums written throughout its MD&A. Gross premiums written represents the total premiums on policies issued by the company during a specified period, irrespective of the portion ceded or earned, and is an indicator of the volume of new business generated. Net premiums written represents gross premiums written less amounts ceded to reinsurers and is considered a measure of the new business volume and insurance risk that the company has chosen to retain from new business generated. These measures are used in the insurance industry and by the company primarily to evaluate business volumes, including related trends, and the management of insurance risk.

(4)Management analyzes and assesses the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, and the financial position of the consolidated company, in various ways. Certain of the measures and ratios provided in this interim report, which have been used consistently and disclosed regularly in the company's Annual Reports and interim financial reporting, do not have a prescribed meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Please refer to the Glossary of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures at the end of this MD&A for details of the company's measures and ratios, which include:

Supplementary Financial Measures – Net insurance revenue, book value per basic share, increase (decrease) in book value per basic share (with and without adjustment for the $10.00 per common share dividend), long equity exposures and long equity exposures and financial effects.

Capital Management Measures – Net debt, net total capital, total capital, net debt divided by total equity, net debt divided by net total capital, total debt divided by total capital, interest coverage ratio and interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage ratio. The company presents all of these measures on a consolidated basis and also on a consolidated basis excluding non-insurance subsidiaries.

Total of Segments Measures – Supplementary financial measures presented for the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance segments in aggregate including net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, operating income (loss) and corporate overhead and other.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios – Net premiums earned, underwriting profit (loss), adjusted operating income (loss), various property and casualty insurance and reinsurance ratios including the combined ratio, excess (deficiency) of fair value over carrying value, cash provided by (used in) operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to investments recorded at FVTPL), investments in Fairfax insurance and reinsurance affiliates and investments in Fairfax affiliates.

Adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts ("IFRS 17") on January 1, 2023

On January 1, 2023 Fairfax adopted the new accounting standard for insurance contracts (IFRS 17).

•It has resulted in considerable changes to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of the company’s insurance and reinsurance operations – the most significant being the discounting of the company's net insurance liabilities and the addition of a risk adjustment for uncertainty.

•This new accounting standard has not changed the way management evaluates the performance of its insurance and reinsurance operations. The company remains focused on underwriting profit on an undiscounted basis with strong reserving and all of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations continue to use the traditional volume measures of gross premiums written, net premiums written and combined ratios to manage the business.

•A reconciliation from insurance service result presented within Note 15 (Segmented Information) to the interim consolidated financial statements to underwriting profit, a metric historically presented within the company's MD&A, is included within the Overview of Consolidated Performance and Components of Net Earnings sections of this MD&A for each of the company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance reporting segments.

•In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 17, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 17 was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings in the opening consolidated balance sheet as at January 1, 2022 and each prior period presented in the interim consolidated financial statements was restated.

•Refer to Note 3 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and to the Accounting and Disclosure Matters, under the heading Adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, at the end of this MD&A, for additional details on the adoption of IFRS 17.

Impact on Consolidated Financial Statements

Common Shareholders' Equity and Book value per share

The table below summarize the measurement adjustments to the restated consolidated balance sheets, recorded through retained earnings, as at January 1, 2022 and as at December 31, 2022, and the benefit to book value per share:

			December 31, 2022						January 1, 2022
Common shareholders' equity as previously reported (Book value per share at December 31, 2022 - $657.68 and January 1, 2022 - $630.60)			15,340.7						15,049.6
IFRS 17 adjustments:
Discounting of provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses			4,668.7						1,536.9
Inclusion of a specific risk adjustment for non-financial risk for provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses			(1,635.5)						(1,421.8)
Acquisition cost deferral and changes in attributable expenses			443.1						385.7
Loss component net of loss recovery component			(359.6)						(387.5)
Foreign exchange and other measurement adjustments			292.3						108.5
Deferred income taxes			(726.1)						(60.9)
Non-controlling interests			(243.3)						(10.7)
			2,439.6						150.2

•The effect of initially applying IFRS 17 was an increase in common shareholders' equity of $150.2 as presented in the table above which was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings in the opening consolidated balance sheet as at January 1, 2022.

•The cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 17 was an increase in common shareholders' equity of $2,439.6 (an increase in book value per share of $104.60), as presented in the table above, and was principally comprised of (i) the impact on the January 1, 2022 consolidated balance sheet of $150.2 recognized in retained earnings, and (ii) the increase in consolidated net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax for the full year of 2022 of $2,229.3.

•The risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the compensation that the company requires for bearing uncertainty with respect to both the amount and the timing of cash flows that arise from non-financial risk from the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. The risk adjustment is measured at each of the company's insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, reflecting their estimates of uncertainty, diversification benefits and expected favourable and unfavourable outcomes. For reinsurance contract assets held, the risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the amount of risk being transferred by the company to the reinsurer. The company aggregates the sum of risk adjustments across insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and does not redistribute further benefits of diversification achieved at a consolidated level between subsidiaries. The resulting amount of the calculated risk adjustment corresponds to a consolidated confidence level of 83.7% (December 31, 2022 - 84.0%; and January 1, 2022 - 84.4%).

Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the first quarter of 2022

The table below summarize the measurement adjustments to the restated net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax in the first quarter of 2022:

			First quarter
			2022
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax as previously reported ($4.49 net earnings per diluted share)			125.5
IFRS 17 adjustments:
Discounting of provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses recognized in insurance service result			197.6
Discounting of provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses recognized in net finance income			419.0
Inclusion of a specific risk adjustment for non-financial risk for provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses and other recognized in insurance service result			(45.8)
Foreign exchange and other measurement adjustments			85.6
Deferred income taxes			(136.2)
Non-controlling interests			(57.0)
			463.2
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax as restated ($22.67 net earnings per diluted share)			588.7

Measurement Items Recorded in Restated Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax in the First Quarter of 2022			Analysis
Effects of discounting in Insurance Service Result			Discounting losses and ceded losses on claims recorded in the period: cash flows are discounted using risk-free yield curves, adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the cash flows and the liquidity of the insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held. The company determines the yield curves using commercially available currency-specific rates and illiquidity premiums. Given the duration of the company's current accident year net reserves the majority was discounted using rates that ranged from the 1 year euro yield curve at 0.15% to the 5 year US yield curve at 2.38%.
Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held			Changes in the carrying amounts of insurance and reinsurance contracts arising from the effects of the time value of money. The sources of the insurance finance income and expense arise from the effects of discounting the fulfillment cash flows within the LRC under the GMM and the LIC under all measurement models at current rates. Reflects the benefit of the change in discount rates during the first quarter of 2022 as the change in the interest rate environment was more pronounced in 2022 compared to the transition adjustment recorded in retained earnings as at January 1, 2022, which was partially offset by interest accretion from unwinding of the discount.
Taxes and Other			Primarily comprised of the above noted items tax effected at the underlying operating companies' statutory tax rates and the allocation of the retained earnings impact to non-controlling interests at Allied World, Odyssey Group and Brit.

Overview of Consolidated Performance for the first quarter of 2023

Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax

Property and Casualty Insurance and Reinsurance Operations

Underwriting Performance

Highlights for the first quarter of 2023, with comparisons to the first quarter of 2022 except as otherwise noted, included the following:

•The insurance service result of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations increased from $661.9 to $977.7, primarily reflecting a greater benefit from discounting losses on claims due to higher discount rates in the period resulting in reduced losses on claims included within the insurance service result and recoveries of insurance service expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings, increased business volumes (net insurance revenue increased by 10.6%) and prudent expense management, partially offset by higher current period catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2023.

•The table below presents the insurance service result for the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations reconciled to underwriting profit, a key performance measure used by the company and the property and casualty industry in which it operates. The reconciling adjustments are (i) other insurance operating expenses as presented on the consolidated statement of earnings, and (ii) the effects of discounting of losses and ceded losses on claims recorded in the period and the effects of the risk adjustment and other, which are presented in insurance service expenses and recoveries of insurance service expenses. Other insurance operating expenses are adjusted to derive underwriting profit as the company measures the performance of management at all property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in the decentralized structure on disciplined underwriting profit which includes prudent expense management on all expenses incurred, including those that are not considered directly attributable to insurance contracts.

•Net premiums written by the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations increased by 6.1% to $5,619.4 from $5,297.3, while gross premiums written increased by 7.2%, principally attributable to the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment reflecting new business, strong customer retention and continued incremental rate increases in certain lines of business.

•Current period catastrophe losses on an undiscounted basis in the first quarter of 2023 were $191.9 or 3.7 combined ratio points, principally reflecting exposure to the earthquake in Turkey compared to $130.2 or 2.8 combined ratio points in the first quarter of 2022 which primarily reflected the impact of Australian floods.

Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held

•Total effects of discounting and risk adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings were comprised as follows:

			First quarter
			2023									2022
Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings:
Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts			(225.8)									513.6
Net finance income (expense) from reinsurance contract assets held			62.4									(94.6)
Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held			(163.4)									419.0
Effects of discounting for future periods and risk adjustment and other recognized in Insurance Service Result:
Discounting of losses and ceded on claims recorded in the period			414.9									170.0
Changes in the risk adjustment and other			58.1									49.9
Effects included in Insurance Service Results			473.0									219.9
Total net benefit			309.6									638.9

In the first quarter of 2023 the total benefit of $309.6 principally related to the benefit of discounting of losses and ceded losses on claims recorded in the period of $414.9 (recognized in insurance service result), partially offset by net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $163.4 primarily comprised of interest accretion as a result of the unwinding of the effects of discounting recognized during a high interest rate environment in 2022 related to payments made during the quarter of $253.7, partially offset by changes in discount rates in the period of $90.3.

In the first quarter of 2022 the total benefit of $638.9 principally related to net finance income from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held of $419.0, reflecting the benefit of changes in discount rates of $457.5 in the quarter as the change in the interest rate environment was more pronounced in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the interest accretion as a result of the unwinding of the discount of $38.5 and the benefit of discounting of losses and ceded losses on claims recorded in the period of $170.0 (recognized in insurance service result).

Refer to Note 4 (Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 for additional details on the discount rates applied on losses on claims recorded in the period.

Non-insurance companies

Operating income (loss) - Non-insurance companies

•Operating income of the Non-insurance companies reporting segment decreased to an operating loss of $0.6 in the first quarter of 2023 from operating income of $27.1 in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding non-cash charges and adjustments and the operating loss at Grivalia Hospitality (consolidated on July 5, 2022) which together totaled $74.7 in the first quarter of 2023, operating income increased by $47.0 to $74.1, principally reflecting increased operating income at Fairfax India (reflecting higher share of profit of associates and increased interest and dividend income) and at AGT (higher business volumes).

•The company’s investments in non-insurance associates and market traded consolidated non-insurance subsidiaries are primarily held in the insurance and reinsurance companies’ investment portfolios and as such are managed and reviewed by management as part of portfolio investment performance. Refer to the heading Financial Condition within this section of the MD&A for additional details on the pre-tax excess of fair value over the carrying value of investments in non-insurance associates and market traded consolidated non-insurance subsidiaries of $439.1 at March 31, 2023 that the company considers to be portfolio investments and is not reflected in the company’s book value per basic share.

Investment Performance

Interest and dividends

•Interest and dividends of $382.3 in the first quarter of 2023 significantly increased compared to $168.9 in the first quarter of 2022, with higher interest income earned principally due to a general increase in sovereign bond yields, net purchases of U.S. treasury and Canadian government bonds, first mortgage loans and other government bonds during 2022, partially offset by lower dividend income earned from long equity total return swaps.

•At March 31, 2023 the company's insurance and reinsurance companies held portfolio investments of $54.5 billion (excluding Fairfax India's portfolio of $2.0 billion), of which approximately $7.5 billion was in cash and short term investments and $6.6 billion in short-dated U.S. treasuries. During the first quarter of 2023 the company primarily used proceeds from net sales and maturities of holdings of short-dated U.S. treasury bonds to re-invest into mid-dated U.S. treasury bonds with maturities between 3 to 5 years, contributing to the increased interest and dividend income in the first quarter of 2023 of $213.4, and producing the company’s current run rate of over $1.5 billion annually.

Share of profit of associates

•Share of profit of associates increased to $333.8 in the first quarter of 2023 from $180.6 in the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting the company's increased share of profits of Eurobank ($94.6 compared to $30.7), EXCO Resources ($69.2 compared to $38.0) and Gulf Insurance ($28.7 compared to $1.3), and continued strong performance by Poseidon, formerly known as Atlas ($50.1 compared to $49.7), partially offset by decreased share of profit of Resolute due to the disposition of the investment on March 1, 2023 (nil compared to $11.7).

•On March 1, 2023 Domtar Corporation acquired all outstanding common shares of Resolute for a combination of cash consideration of $20.50 and a Contingent Value Right ("CVR") per Resolute common share, valued at $1.42 per share. The company received total consideration of $665.6 and recorded a realized gain of $44.2.

•On March 28, 2023 a consortium composed of the company, the Washington Family, David Sokol, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Atlas, and Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. (collectively, the "Consortium") acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Atlas, other than those shares owned by the Consortium, at a cash purchase price of $15.50, plus payment of all ordinary course quarterly dividends up until closing of the transaction. The company did not purchase any additional interest not already owned by the Consortium upon closing of the transaction and continues to apply the equity method of accounting to its interest in Atlas through its interest in Poseidon Corp., the entity formed by the Consortium that acquired Atlas.

•Subsequent to March 31, 2023, on May 9, 2023 Fairfax India entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 3.0% equity interest in Bangalore International Airport Limited ("Bangalore Airport") from Siemens Project Ventures GmbH ("Siemens") for cash consideration of approximately $75. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to certain closing conditions. Fairfax India also agreed to acquire an additional 7.0% equity interest in Bangalore Airport from Siemens for additional cash consideration of approximately $175, subject to certain performance conditions by Bangalore Airport and other closing conditions, which are expected to be assessed subsequent to October 31, 2023. The company expects to continue to apply the equity method of accounting to its interest in Bangalore Airport on closing of the transaction.

Refer to Note 6 (Investments in Associates) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 for additional details on these transactions.

•Net gains on bonds of $319.0 in the first quarter of 2023 was principally comprised of net gains on U.S. treasuries of $216.9 and net gains of $55.8 on corporate and other bonds. At March 31, 2023 the company's fixed income portfolio duration increased from approximately 1.6 years at December 31, 2022 to approximately 2.5 years at quarter end, with $14.1 billion remaining invested in cash and principally short-dated investments (comprised of cash, short term investments and the bond portfolio invested in short-dated U.S treasuries), enabling the company to benefit significantly from increased interest income in the remainder of 2023 and provides an opportunity for the portfolio to be deployed into longer-dated bonds.

Financial Condition

•Maintaining an emphasis on financial soundness, the company held $971.6 of cash and investments at the holding company at March 31, 2023 compared to $1,345.8 at December 31, 2022, with its $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility primarily undrawn. In the second quarter of 2023, Brit will pay a special dividend of approximately $275 to the holding company as a result of the sale of its Managing General Underwriter operations, Ambridge. Holding company cash and investments, as previously described, supports the company's decentralized structure and enables the company to deploy capital efficiently to its insurance and reinsurance companies.

Refer to the Financial Condition of this MD&A, under the heading Book Value Per Basic Share, for details.

•The company's total debt to total capital ratio, excluding non-insurance companies, improved to 22.9% at March 31, 2023 compared to 23.7% at December 31, 2022, reflecting the strong net earnings in the quarter, with no significant holding company debt maturities until 2024.

•There were no significant acquisitions or divestitures that closed during the first quarter of 2023. The following transactions closed subsequent to the quarter or are anticipated to close in 2023, with the impact not yet reflected in the company's book value per share:

◦Sale of Ambridge Group by Brit - On May 10, 2023 Brit completed the sale of Ambridge Group ("Ambridge"), its Managing General Underwriter operations, to Amynta Group. In the second quarter of 2023 Brit will deconsolidate the assets and liabilities of Ambridge, record a pre-tax gain of approximately $255 (prior to ascribing any fair value to the potential additional receivable) and will pay a special dividend of approximately $275 to the holding company as a result of the net proceeds received from the sale of Ambridge.

◦Acquisition of additional interest in Gulf Insurance - On April 19, 2023 the company entered into an agreement pursuant to which it will acquire all of the shares of Gulf Insurance Group K.S.C.P.

The company has not recorded any gains on its equity accounted investment in Digit, as regulatory approvals to permit the company to obtain control were still pending and as a result the company’s ownership interest remained unchanged at 49.0%.

•Common shareholders’ equity increased by $883.5 to $18,663.8 at March 31, 2023 from $17,780.3 at December 31, 2022, primarily reflecting:

◦net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax of $1,250.0, partially offset by

◦payments of common and preferred share dividends of $257.3, and

◦purchases of 156,685 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for cash consideration of $100.0, or $638.22 per share.

•Book value per basic share was $803.49 at March 31, 2023 compared to $762.28 at December 31, 2022, representing an increase per basic share in the first quarter of 2023 of 5.4% (an increase of 6.8% adjusted to include the $10.00 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2023).

The increase in net insurance revenue in the first quarter of 2023 of $485.5 (10.4%) was principally attributable to the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, primarily reflecting increased business volumes due to continued incremental rate increases and new business, partially offset by non-renewals from increased competition in certain lines of business. Refer to Components of Net Earnings in this MD&A for details by reporting segment.

An analysis of interest and dividends, share of profit of associates and net gains (losses) on investments for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 is provided in the Overview of Consolidated Performance at the beginning of this MD&A, under the heading Investment Performance, and in the Investments section of this MD&A.

The increase in non-insurance revenue to $1,558.4 in the first quarter of 2023 from $1,066.3 in the first quarter of 2022 principally reflected significantly higher business volumes at AGT.

The increase in the insurance service result from the company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in the first quarter of 2023 of $315.8 or 47.7% was principally attributable to the Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segment, primarily reflecting a greater benefit from discounting losses on claims due to higher discount rates in the period resulting in reduced losses on claims included within the insurance service result and recoveries of insurance service expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings, increased business volumes and prudent expense management, partially offset by higher current period catastrophe losses as shown in the table below.

The company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations produced an underwriting profit of $313.8 (combined ratio of 94.0%) in the first quarter of 2023 compared to an underwriting profit of $324.4 (combined ratio of 93.1%) in the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting the same factors as noted above in insurance service results except for the benefit from discounting losses on claims which had the effect of improving the insurance service result in the first quarter of 2023.

The following table presents the components of the company's combined ratios, a performance measure of underwriting profit, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

			First quarter

The commission expense ratio decreased to 16.3% in the first quarter of 2023 from 16.8% in the first quarter of 2022, principally reflecting decreases in the North American Insurers and Global Insurers and Reinsurers reporting segments primarily due to decreased average commission rates, particularly in surplus and specialty lines of business and increased commission income.

An analysis of interest and dividends, share of profit of associates and net gains (losses) on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is provided in the Overview of Consolidated Performance at the beginning of this MD&A, under the heading Investment Performance, and in the Investments section of this MD&A.

An analysis of net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is provided in the Overview of Consolidated Performance section at the beginning of this MD&A.

Net earnings attributable to shareholders of Fairfax increased to $1,250.0 (net earnings of $53.17 per basic share and $49.38 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2023 from net earnings of $588.7 (net earnings of $24.23 per basic share and $22.67 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2022. The improvement in profitability in the first quarter of 2023 principally reflected increased insurance service result, net gains on investments and increases in interest and dividends and share of profit of associates, partially offset by net finance expense from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held and higher provision for income taxes.

Changes in the risk adjustment and other			(12.0)						(10.9)
Underwriting profit			90.0						109.3

North American Insurers reporting segment's insurance service result of $275.8 in the first quarter of 2023 increased by $64.2 or 30.3% primarily reflecting an increased benefit from discounting losses on claims in first quarter of 2023 due to higher discount rates in the period which resulted in reduced losses on claims and recoveries of insurance service expenses, continued growth in net insurance revenue primarily at Crum & Forster (including rate increases across most lines of business) relative to modest increases in underwriting expenses and increased net favourable prior year reserve development at Northbridge, partially offset by increased current period losses for each operating company in the North American Insurers reporting segment.

North American Insurers reporting segment produced an underwriting profit of $90.0 and a combined ratio of 94.1% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to an underwriting profit of $109.3 and a combined ratio of 92.5% in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in underwriting profitability in the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflected the same factors as noted above in insurance service results except for the benefit from discounting losses on claims which had the effect of improving the insurance service result in the first quarter of 2023.

The commission expense ratio decreased to 15.5% in the first quarter of 2023 from 16.6% in the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting decreased average commissions in surplus and specialty, and accident and health lines at Crum & Forster and increased commission income from certain ceded lines at Northbridge.

The companies comprising the North American Insurers reporting segment had combined ratios and underwriting profit in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 as set out in the following table:

						Combined ratios												Underwriting profit
						First quarter												First quarter

North American Insurers						1,919.2						1,770.3						1,607.5						1,490.0

Gross premiums written increased by 8.4% in the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflecting increased business volumes at Crum & Forster (primarily accident and health) and Northbridge (primarily property lines of business) and rate increases across most lines of business with the exception of workers' compensation business, primarily at Zenith National, which continues to experience rate decreases.

Net premiums written increased by 2.4% in the first quarter of 2023 reflecting the growth in gross premiums written, partially offset by the effect of a fronting arrangement on Crum & Forster's pet business following the sale of Pet Insurance Group and Pethealth at Crum & Forster whereby no business was retained. Net insurance revenue increased by 7.9% in the first quarter of 2023, principally reflecting the increase in net premiums written during 2023 and 2022.

Cash provided by operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to investments recorded at FVTPL) increased to $188.8 in the first quarter of 2023 from $158.4 in the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting increased net premium collections and decreased net taxes paid at Northbridge, partially offset by increased net claims paid at Crum & Forster and Zenith National.

The increase in interest expense on borrowings at the non-insurance companies in the first quarter of 2023 principally reflected movements of certain redemption liabilities primarily at Boat Rocker, increased borrowings at Recipe as part of the privatization transaction on October 28, 2022 and at AGT, and higher interest rates on credit facilities across a number of non-insurance companies.

Interest expense by reporting segment is set out in note 15 (Segmented Information) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Corporate Overhead and Other

(3)    Presented as a consolidation elimination in note 15 (Segmented Information) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Investment management and administration fees and other of $31.8 in the first quarter of 2023 (2022 - $36.8) were primarily comprised of investment and administration fee income of $28.1 (2022 - $35.1).

Financial Risk Management

There were no significant changes to the company’s risk exposures or the processes used by the company for managing those risk exposures at March 31, 2023 compared to those identified at December 31, 2022 and disclosed in the company’s 2022 Annual Report. For details see note 14 (Financial Risk Management) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Financial Condition

    Capital Management

See note 14 (Financial Risk Management, under the heading "Capital Management") to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity

Operating, investing and financing cash flow activities discussed below are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, except for "cash provided by operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to investments recorded at FVTPL)" which is presented in the Glossary of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures at the end of this MD&A.

Operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Cash provided by operating activities (excluding net purchases of investments classified at FVTPL) increased to $1,156.1 in 2023 from $1,091.9 in 2022, principally reflecting higher interest and dividends received and higher net premium collections, partially offset by higher net paid losses.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Sales of investments in associates of $682.2 in 2023 primarily reflected proceeds from the sale of the company's investment in Resolute for cash consideration of $622.5 ($20.50 per Resolute common share).

Purchases of investments in associates of $216.7 in 2023 primarily reflected increased investment in Atlas common shares through the exercise of equity warrants for cash consideration of $78.7 and purchases of certain securities held through AVLNs entered with RiverStone Barbados.

Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Purchases of subsidiary shares from non-controlling interests of $122.0 in 2022 primarily reflected the company's acquisition of additional common shares of Fairfax India from non-controlling interests and purchases of common shares under normal course issuer bids by Fairfax India.

Holding company

Holding company cash and investments at March 31, 2023 was $971.6 ($823.2 net of $148.4 of holding company derivative obligations) compared to $1,345.8 ($1,326.4 net of $19.4 of holding company derivative obligations) at December 31, 2022.

Significant cash and investment transactions during the first quarter of 2023 included the payment of common and preferred share dividends of $257.3, purchases of 156,685 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for cash consideration of $100.0 and capital contributions to U.S. Run-off of $85.0, partially offset by dividends received from the insurance and reinsurance companies of $79.0.

The carrying value of holding company cash and investments was also affected by the receipt of investment management and administration fees, disbursements for corporate overhead expenses, interest paid on borrowings and changes in the fair value of holding company investments.

The company believes that holding company cash and investments, net of holding company derivative obligations, at March 31, 2022 of $823.2 provides adequate liquidity to meet the holding company’s remaining known commitments in 2023. The holding company expects to continue to receive investment management and administration fees from its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and Fairfax India, investment income on its holdings of cash and investments, and dividends from its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. In the second quarter of 2023, Brit will pay a special dividend of approximately $275 to the holding company as a result of the net proceeds received from the sale of its Managing General Underwriter operations, Ambridge. To further augment its liquidity, the holding company can draw upon its $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility.

56

---

The holding company’s known significant commitments for the remainder of 2023 consist of payment of interest and corporate overhead expenses, preferred share dividends, income tax payments, potential payments on amounts borrowed, if any, from the revolving credit facility and other investment related activities and the anticipated acquisition of additional interest in Gulf Insurance. The company may also in 2023 make payments related to its insurance and reinsurance companies to support their underwriting initiatives in favourable insurance markets.

Additionally, pursuant to the sale of RiverStone Barbados in 2021, the company, through financial instruments referred to as AVLNs, had guaranteed the value of certain securities held by the purchaser and certain affiliates thereof until such time that the securities are purchased by or sold at the direction of Hamblin Watsa, of which $393.0 remain held at March 31, 2023 and are required to be purchased or sold prior to the end of 2023.

Insurance and reinsurance companies

During the first three months of 2023 subsidiary cash and short term investments (including cash and short term investments pledged for derivative obligations) decreased by $1,907.8 primarily due to net re-investments of proceeds on sales and maturities of U.S. treasury short-term investments into longer-dated U.S treasury bonds for net purchases of $1,770.0.

    Book Value Per Basic Share

Book Value Per Basic Share

Common shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2023 was $18,663.8 or $803.49 per basic share compared to $17,780.3 or $762.28 per basic share at December 31, 2022, representing an increase per basic share in the first quarter of 2023 of 5.4% (an increase of 6.8% adjusted for the $10.00 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2023). During the first quarter of 2023 the number of basic shares decreased primarily as a result of purchases of 156,685 subordinate voting shares for cancellation, partially offset by net share-based payment awards of 59,919 subordinate voting shares from treasury. At March 31, 2023 there were 23,228,539 common shares effectively outstanding.

Excess (deficiency) of fair value over adjusted carrying value

The table below presents the pre-tax excess (deficiency) of fair value over adjusted carrying value of investments in non-insurance associates and certain consolidated non-insurance subsidiaries the company considers to be portfolio investments. Those amounts, while not included in the calculation of book value per basic share, are regularly reviewed by management as an indicator of investment performance. The aggregate pre-tax excess of fair value over adjusted carrying value of these investments at March 31, 2023 was $439.1 (December 31, 2022 - $310.0).

Accounting and Disclosure Matters

    

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023, the company revised certain of its internal controls over financial reporting at its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and at the holding company. These significant changes to internal controls were principally for implementation governance and controls over the initial implementation of IFRS 17 and the ongoing controls in the company’s actuarial and financial reporting processes, including the adoption of IFRS 17 accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates, the use of new information technology systems and the reconciliation of financial data between IFRS 4 and IFRS 17.

Adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The company's adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023 is described in note 3 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The reclassification and measurement adjustments in the restated consolidated statement of earnings above principally reflect the following:

Note			Reclassification adjustments			Measurement adjustments
1			Commission expense on assumed reinsurance business is netted with insurance revenue whereas it was previously included within commissions, net.			Changes in gross earning patterns and other adjustments.
2			The following under IFRS 4 are included in insurance service expense under IFRS 17: •losses on claims, gross; •gross commissions, which were previously included within commissions, net; and •other acquisition costs and certain operating expenses, both which were previously included within operating expenses.			The amount required to bring losses on claims, gross to its net present value using risk-free yield curves, adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the cash flows and the liquidity of the insurance contracts, and the application of a risk adjustment. The company determines the yield curves using commercially available currency-specific rates and illiquidity premiums. These measurement adjustments represent a timing difference as both the effects of discounting and the application of a risk adjustment will reverse through net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and insurance service expenses, respectively, to bring the claim to the amount that will be paid.
3			Netting of ceded commission income with the cost of reinsurance, whereas such income was previously included within commissions, net.			Changes in ceded earning patterns and other adjustments.
4			Losses on claims, ceded under IFRS 4 are presented as recoveries of insurance service expense under IFRS 17.			The amount required to bring losses on claims, ceded to reinsurers to its net present value using risk-free yield curves, adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the cash flows and the liquidity of the reinsurance contracts, and the application of a risk adjustment. The company determines the yield curves using commercially available currency-specific rates and illiquidity premiums. These measurement adjustments represent a timing difference as both the effects of discounting and the application of a risk adjustment will reverse through net finance income (expense) from reinsurance contract assets held and recoveries of insurance service expenses, respectively.
5			The portion of operating expenses under IFRS 4 which were determined to not be directly attributable are presented as other insurance operating expenses under IFRS 17.			No measurement adjustments.
6			No reclassification adjustments.			Unwind of the effects of discounting on both losses on claims, gross and losses on claims, ceded to bring these amounts to their ultimate settlement value.

(1)    Quarterly data for periods prior to 2023, with the exception of the quarter ended March 31, 2022, have not been restated for the adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023 which is described in note 3 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating results at the company’s insurance and reinsurance companies have been, and may continue to be, affected by the economic uncertainty caused by increased inflationary pressures and heightened interest rates. Individual quarterly results have been (and may in the future be) affected by losses from significant natural or other catastrophes, by favourable or adverse reserve development and by settlements or commutations, the occurrence of which are not predictable, and have been (and are expected to continue to be) significantly affected by net gains or losses on investments, the timing of which are not predictable.

In addition, the adoption of IFRS 17 on January 1, 2023 has affected the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 operating results of the company's insurance and reinsurance companies with the introduction of discounting net claims reserves and a risk adjustment for uncertainty related to the timing and amount of cash flows from non-financial risk, the occurrence of which are not predictable, and have been (and are expected to continue to be) a significant impact on net earnings.

Glossary of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

Management analyzes and assesses the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, and the financial position of the consolidated company, in various ways. Certain of those measures and ratios, which have been used consistently and disclosed regularly in the company's Annual Reports and interim financial reporting, do not have a prescribed meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Net insurance revenue – This measure of underwriting activity is calculated as insurance revenue less cost of reinsurance, both as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Book value per basic share – The company considers book value per basic share a key performance measure as one of the company’s stated objectives is to build long term shareholder value by compounding book value per basic share over the long term by 15% annually. This measure is calculated by the company as common shareholders' equity divided by the number of common shares effectively outstanding. Those amounts are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and note 11 (Total Equity, under the heading "Common stock") respectively to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Increase or decrease in book value per basic share is calculated as the percentage change in book value per basic share from the end of the last annual reporting period to the end of the current reporting period. Increase or decrease in book value per basic share adjusted for the $10.00 per common share dividend is calculated in the same manner except that it assumes the annual $10.00 per common share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2023 was not paid and book value per basic share at the end of the current reporting period would be higher as a result.

Equity exposures – Long equity exposures refer to the company's long positions in equity and equity-related instruments held for investment purposes, and long equity exposures and financial effects refers to the aggregate position and performance of the company's long equity exposures. Long equity exposures exclude the company’s insurance and reinsurance investments in associates, joint ventures, and other equity and equity-related holdings which are considered long-term strategic holdings. These measures are presented and explained in note 14 (Financial Risk Management, under the heading "Market risk") to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Capital Management Measures

Net debt, net total capital, total capital, net debt divided by total equity, net debt divided by net total capital and total debt divided by total capital are measures and ratios used by the company to assess the amount of leverage employed in its operations. The company also uses an interest coverage ratio and an interest and preferred share dividend distribution coverage ratio to measure its ability to service its debt and pay dividends to its preferred shareholders. These measures and ratios are calculated using amounts presented in the company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, both including and excluding the relevant balances of consolidated non-insurance companies, and are presented and explained in note 14 (Financial Risk Management, under the heading "Capital Management") thereto.

Total of Segments Measures

Property and casualty insurance and reinsurance – References in this MD&A to the company's property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations do not include the company's life insurance and run-off operations. The company believes this aggregation of reporting segments to be helpful in evaluating the performance of its core property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies and has historically disclosed measures on this basis including net premiums written, net premiums earned, underwriting profit (loss) and operating income (loss), consistent with the information presented in note 15 (Segmented Information) to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. References to “insurance and reinsurance” operations includes property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, life insurance and run-off operations.

Net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held - This measure represents the net change in the carrying amounts of the company's insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held arising from the effects of the time value of money, and is calculated as the sum of the respective amounts presented in the consolidated statement of earnings.

Operating income (loss) – This measure is used by the company as a pre-tax performance measure of operations that excludes net finance income (expense) from insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held, net gains (losses) on investments, interest expense and corporate overhead and other, and that includes interest and dividends and share of profit (loss) of associates, which the company considers to be more predictable sources of investment income. Operating income (loss) includes the insurance service result and other insurance operating expenses of the insurance and reinsurance operations and the revenue and expenses of the non-insurance companies. A reconciliation of operating income (loss) to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is presented in the table below. All figures in that table are from the company's unaudited interim consolidated statement of earnings

Interest expense			(124.3)						(103.9)
Corporate and other expenses			(106.5)						(78.8)
Earnings before income taxes			1,769.1						905.2

Corporate overhead and other – This measure includes corporate and other expenses as presented in the consolidated statement of earnings, representing the non-underwriting operating expenses of the Fairfax holding company and the holding companies of the insurance and reinsurance operations, and the amortization of intangible assets that primarily arose on acquisition of the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. Also included are investment management and administration fees paid by the insurance and reinsurance operating companies to the Fairfax holding company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

The financial measures and ratios described below are presented on the same basis as prior to the adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts on January 1, 2023.

Net premiums earned – Net premiums earned represents the portion of net premiums written that are considered earned by the company during a specified period in exchange for providing insurance coverage to the policyholder. This measure is used in the insurance industry and by the company primarily to evaluate business volumes, including related trends, and the management of insurance risk.

Underwriting profit (loss) – This is a measure of underwriting activity which is adjusted to remove the effects of discounting and risk adjustment in future periods for claims incurred in the current period and is calculated as insurance service result with the effects of discounting for net claims incurred in the current period, changes in the risk adjustment and other insurance operating expenses removed as shown in the table below.

Adjusted operating income (loss) – Calculated as the sum of underwriting profit (loss), interest and dividends and share of profit of associates, this measure is used in a similar manner to operating income (loss).

Property and casualty insurance and reinsurance ratios – The combined ratio is the traditional performance measure of underwriting results of property and casualty companies and is calculated by the company as the sum of the loss ratio (claims losses and loss adjustment expenses expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned), the commission expense ratio (commissions expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned) and the underwriting expense ratio (other underwriting expenses, including premium acquisition costs, expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned). Other ratios used by the company include the accident year loss ratio (claims losses and loss adjustment expenses excluding the net favourable or adverse development of reserves established for claims that occurred in previous accident years, expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned), and the accident year combined ratio (the sum of the accident year loss ratio and the expense ratio). The ratios described are derived from information disclosed in note 15 (Segmented Information) to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and adjusted principally to remove the effects of discounting for net claims incurred in the current period, the change in the risk adjustment and other insurance operating expenses. These ratios are used by the company for comparisons to historical underwriting results, to the underwriting results of competitors and to the broader property and casualty industry, as well as for evaluating the

performance of individual operating companies. The company may also refer to combined ratio points, which expresses a loss that is a component of losses on claims, net, such as a catastrophe loss or net favourable or adverse prior year reserve development, as a percentage of net premiums earned during the same period.

The table below presents the amounts used in the calculation of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance ratios and reconciles insurance revenue to net premiums earned and insurance service result to underwriting profit.

Non-insurance companies included in the performance measure

The fair values of market traded consolidated non-insurance companies are calculated as the company's pro rata ownership share of each subsidiary's market capitalization as determined by traded share prices at the financial statement date. The carrying value of each subsidiary represents Fairfax's share of that subsidiary's net assets, calculated as the subsidiary's total assets, less total liabilities and non-controlling interests. Carrying value is included in shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders of Fairfax in the company's consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as shown in the table below which reconciles the consolidated balance sheet of the market traded non-insurance companies to that of the Non-insurance companies reporting segment included in the company's consolidated balance sheet.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to investments recorded at FVTPL) is presented in this MD&A for each of the largest property and casualty insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries as management believes this measure to be a useful estimate of cash generated or used by a subsidiary's underwriting activities. This measure is a component of cash provided by (used in) operating activities as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows, the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

			First quarter
			2023						2022
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities (excluding operating cash flow activity related to investments recorded at FVTPL):
North American Insurers and Global Insurers and Reinsurers			1,112.7						1,126.8
All other reporting segments			43.4						(34.9)
Net purchases of investments classified at FVTPL			(2,281.1)						(2,073.2)
Cash used in operating activities as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows			(1,125.0)						(981.3)

Intercompany shareholdings - On the segmented balance sheets intercompany shareholdings of insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries are presented as "Investments in Fairfax insurance and reinsurance affiliates", intercompany shareholdings of non-insurance subsidiaries are included in “Portfolio investments” and total intercompany shareholdings of subsidiaries are presented as "Investments in Fairfax affiliates" in the “Capital” section. Intercompany shareholdings of subsidiaries are carried at cost in the segmented balance sheets as management believes that provides a better comparison of operating performance over time, whereas those shareholdings are eliminated upon consolidation in the consolidated financial statements with no directly comparable IFRS measure.
