(“Validus” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VR) today reported net income of $499.2 million, or $5.21 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with a net (loss) of ($126.3) million, or ($1.71) per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $731.6 million, or $8.65 per diluted share, compared with $16.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $145.6 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared with a net operating (loss) of ($53.1) million, or ($0.73) per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Net operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) excluding net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, foreign exchange gains and losses and non-recurring items, including the gain on bargain purchase, net of expenses relating to the acquisition of IPC Holdings, Ltd. (“IPC”) Reconciliations of this measure to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, are presented at the end of this release.
Commenting on third quarter results and 2009 business conditions, Validus’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ed Noonan stated: “We completed the IPC amalgamation on September 4, 2009. As a consequence of the acquisition and of strong underlying financial results for our Validus Re and Talbot segments, we closed the quarter with total shareholders’ equity of $3.97 billion, total assets of $7.18 billion and total investments and cash of $5.71 billion. Diluted book value per share rose to $28.61 at September 30, 2009, which when combined with our $0.20 quarterly dividend resulted in an increase in diluted book value per share plus dividends of 10.5% in the quarter. Looking toward 2010, we approach the January renewal season with $4.3 billion of capital and the ability and intent to support our clients with our expanded resources.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may include forward-looking statements, both with respect to the Company and its industry, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Statements that include the words "expect," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project," "anticipate," "will," "may" and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events; 2) rating agency actions; 3) adequacy of Validus' risk management and loss limitation methods; 4) cyclicality of demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets; 5) Validus' limited operating history; 6) Validus' ability to implement its business strategy during "soft" as well as "hard" markets; 7) adequacy of Validus' loss reserves; 8) continued availability of capital and financing; 9) retention of key personnel; 10) competition; 11) potential loss of business from one or more major insurance or reinsurance brokers; 12) Validus' ability to implement, successfully and on a timely basis, complex infrastructure, distribution capabilities, systems, procedures and internal controls, and to develop accurate actuarial data to support the business and regulatory and reporting requirements; 13) general economic and market conditions (including inflation, volatility in the credit and capital markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates); 14) the integration of Talbot, IPC or other businesses Validus may acquire or new business ventures Validus may start; 15) the effect on Validus' investment portfolios of changing financial market conditions including inflation, interest rates, liquidity and other factors; 16) acts of terrorism or outbreak of war; 17) availability of reinsurance and retrocessional coverage; and 18) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the IPC acquisition, including as a result of failure or delay in integrating the businesses of Validus and IPC, as well as management's response to any of the aforementioned factors.
The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the risk factors included in Validus' most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and other documents of the Company on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Any forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Validus will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Validus or its business or operations. Except as required by law, the parties undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed certain schedules containing net operating income (loss), net operating income per share, underwriting income, annualized net operating return on average equity and diluted book value per common share that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures are referred to as non-GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net operating income to net income, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented in the section above entitled “Net Operating Income, Net Operating Income per share and Annualized Net Operating Return on Average Equity”. A reconciliation of underwriting income to net income, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented in the “Consolidated Statements of Operations” above. Underwriting income indicates the performance of the Company’s core underwriting function, excluding revenues and expenses. The Company believes the reporting of underwriting income enhances the understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of the Company’s core insurance and reinsurance business. Underwriting profitability is influenced significantly by earned premium growth, adequacy of the Company’s pricing and loss frequency and severity. Underwriting profitability over time is also influenced by the Company’s underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expense ratio, which it accomplishes through its management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. The Company believes that underwriting income provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability derived from underwriting activities.
Annualized net operating return on average equity is presented in the section above entitled “Net Operating Income, Net Operating Income per share and Annualized Net Operating Return on Average Equity”. A reconciliation of diluted book value per share to book value per share, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented in the section above entitled “Diluted Book Value Per Share”. Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-US$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business.
