Commenting on the figures, chief executive Charles Brindamour said in a release: “The past year has been challenging for society, particularly in the face of numerous natural disasters. Through it all, our people worked relentlessly to ensure customers get back on track quickly. Despite shouldering elevated catastrophe losses as a result, the business demonstrated tremendous resilience.

“We achieved mid-teens operating ROE (return on equity) and maintained a strong balance sheet with CA$2.7 billion of total capital margin. As we look ahead to 2024, we are well positioned for outperformance, given strong top-line momentum, continued underwriting discipline, and a refocused UK&I segment.”
