Why did amortization of intangible assets spike in Q3 2024?

The **significant increase** in full‐year net income in FY 2023 was primarily driven by several key factors. First, the enactment of Bermuda's new corporate income tax resulted in establishing a **net deferred tax asset of $1.18 billion**, which provided a substantial boost. Second, the company saw a marked improvement in operational performance, with **after‐tax operating income rising from $1,840 million in FY 2022 to $3,201 million in FY 2023**, reflecting stronger underwriting and profitability across segments. Third, there was a notable reduction in net realized losses, which decreased from **$663 million in FY 2022 to $165 million in FY 2023**. Finally, although the fiscal year experienced **net foreign exchange losses of $62 million** (compared to a gain of **$102 million in FY 2022**), this impact was not enough to offset the other significant positive factors.  **[0000947484-24-000007_ex-991release123123.htm:1]** **[0000947484-24-000007_ex-992supplement123123.htm:33]** **[0000947484-24-000020_acgl-20231231.htm:141]**

The significant increase in Operating Cash Flow in Q3 2023 was driven primarily by a **substantial rise in net income** (increasing from **$18 million** to **$723 million**), coupled with **favorable changes in working capital components**. Specifically, there were improvements such as **increased reinsurance balances payable**, a **notable decrease in premiums receivable**, and a **more moderate rise in loss reserves**, all of which collectively boosted the operating cash flows in Q3 2023.  **[0000947484-23-000093_ex-992supplement93023.htm:6]** **[0000947484-23-000093_ex-991release93023.htm:1]** 

Why did Operating Cash Flow nearly double in Q3 2023?

ACGL's operating cash flow in Q3 2024 reached **$2,018 million**, up significantly from **$1,518 million** in Q2 2024, driven by several key factors. **Higher net income** played a major role—with Q3 2024 net income at **$988 million**—which boosted cash inflows. Additionally, a substantial increase in the **reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses** contributed **$1,078 million** to operating cash flow in Q3 2024. Improvements in **premiums receivable** added **$178 million** (compared to a negative effect in Q2 2024), while adjustments in **unearned premiums** and **reinsurance balances payable** also played supporting roles. These elements together explain the significant spike in operating cash flow in Q3 2024.  **[0000947484-24-000130_ex-992supplement93024.htm:6]** **[0000947484-24-000130_ex-991release93024.htm:1]** **[0000947484-24-000091_ex-992supplement63024.htm:6]** **[0000947484-25-000008_ex-992supplement123124.htm:6]** 

What drove the spike in Operating Cash Flow in Q3 2024?

The **FY 2023 capital expenditures** increased by only **$2 million** compared to FY 2022, which is a **minor change**.

Does the higher capital expenditures in FY 2023 indicate increased investment activity?

The significant year-over-year increase in **Operating Cash Flow** was primarily driven by a **higher level of premiums collected** in FY 2023 compared to FY 2022, which reflected the company's strong operating performance. This boost in premiums played a key role in increasing the net cash provided by operating activities from **$3,816 million in FY 2022** to **$5,749 million in FY 2023**.  **[0000947484-24-000020_acgl-20231231.htm:192]** **[0000947484-24-000020_acgl-20231231.htm:167]**
