Authored by AXIS

AXIS Capital Holdings Limited has announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Commenting on the fourth quarter 2023 financial results, Vince Tizzio, President and CEO of AXIS Capital, said:

“This was a transformative year for AXIS, one where we further elevated all aspects of how we operate and go to market, and we believe the Company is on a clear path to becoming a specialty underwriting leader. We’re capitalizing on favorable conditions in our chosen specialty markets while exhibiting underwriting discipline and strong cycle management. This was evidenced by our operating income of $486 million and a 4.5 point year-over-year improvement in the current accident year combined ratio to 91.8%.

“We’re energized by the continued profitable growth within our core specialty insurance business, highlighted by year-over-year increases in premium generation of 10% including new business premiums of 18%, and an excellent current accident year combined ratio of 87.4%. In parallel, we further solidified our repositioning of AXIS Re as a focused specialist reinsurer with increased profitability and reduced volatility.

“In 2023, through our ‘How We Work’ program, we made significant improvements to our operational infrastructure, while investing in talent, and becoming a more efficient and consistent company. We look ahead to 2024 with excitement. We have a robust global platform, strong and deep relationships with our customers, a great team and culture – and we’re relentlessly committed to taking this Company to the next level.”
