Item 2.02.                                        Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On April 23, 2015, HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) released certain supplemental financial data relating to the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company modified its reporting structure and recast certain prior financial data to be comparable to the revised reporting structure.

 

Previously, the Company reported its results in five underwriting segments — U.S. Property & Casualty, Professional Liability, Accident & Health, U.S. Surety & Credit and International — and the Investing segment. Under the new structure, the new North America Property & Casualty segment includes the former U.S. Property & Casualty segment, the U.S. portion of the former Professional Liability segment, and the Surety portion of the former U.S. Surety & Credit segment. The new International segment includes the former International segment, the International portion of the former Professional Liability segment, and the Credit portion of the former U.S. Surety & Credit segment. The Accident & Health and Investing segments are unchanged from the prior reporting structure. The description of the Company’s presentation of the prior financial data is qualified in its entirety by reference to the supplemental financial data that is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
