For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, our underwriting ratio in the Bespoke segment improved by 2.9 points and 4.2 points, respectively, from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in our loss ratio.
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, gross premiums written increased as a result of new business, predominantly structured credit deals, in addition to other contracts that had improved terms and conditions than in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, gross premiums written decreased as we were more selective on new business written. The Bespoke market is weighted towards opportunities which are non-recurring, and a number of factors impacted our view of risk in this segment in 2023, including geopolitical instability, inflation and rising interest rates.

Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses)
The net realized and unrealized investment gains in the three months ended December 31, 2023 resulted from a decrease in our allowance for credit losses and unrealized gains on other investments that are recorded at fair value. The net realized and unrealized investment gains for the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted from realized and unrealized gains on other investments, partially offset by net realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities.
Net Investment Income
The increase in our net investment income in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was due to increases in interest rates during 2022 and 2023, where the short duration nature of our portfolio meant that we were reinvesting at higher rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Press Release includes, and the related conference call will include, certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") including Operating net income, Operating EPS, Operating ROE and Operating ROAE, and therefore are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.
RPI Measure
Renewal price index (RPI) is a measure that Fidelis has used to assess an approximate index of rate increases on a particular set of contracts, using the base of 100% for the rates for the relevant prior year. Although management considers RPI to be an appropriate statistical measure, it is not a financial measure that directly relates to the Fidelis consolidated financial results. Management's calculation of RPI involves a degree of judgment in relation to comparability of contracts and the relative impacts of changes in price, exposure, retention levels, as well as any other changing terms and conditions on the RPI calculation. Consideration is given to potential renewals of a comparable nature so it does not reflect every contract in Fidelis' portfolio. The future profitability and performance of a portfolio of contracts expressed within the RPI is dependent upon many factors besides the trends in premium rates, including policy terms, conditions and wording.
Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release (including the documents incorporated herein) contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make (including on our related conference call), "forward-looking statements" which include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and which may concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "predict," "potential," "assumption," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "could," "will" and the negative of these and also similar terms and phrases. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are qualified by these cautionary statements, because they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions, but are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make in relation to: discussion relating to net income and net income per share; expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings; our expectations regarding our strategy and the performance of our business; information regarding our estimates for catastrophes and other loss events; our liquidity and capital resources; and expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings.
Our actual results in the future could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of changes in assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors impacting us, many of which are outside our control, including: the ongoing trend of premium rate hardening and factors likely to drive continued rate hardening; expected growth across our portfolio; the availability of outwards reinsurance and capital resources as required; the development and pattern of earned and written premiums impacting embedded premium value; changes in accounting principles or the application thereof; the level of underwriting leverage; the level and timing of catastrophe and other losses and related reserves on the business we underwrite; the performance of our investment portfolios; our strategic relationship with Fidelis MGU; the maintenance of financial strength ratings; the impact of global geopolitical and economic uncertainties impacting the lines of business we write; the impact of tax reform and insurance regulation in the jurisdictions where our businesses are located; and those risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed under the section titled 'Risk Factors' in Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited's final IPO prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) (Registration No. 333-271270) with the SEC on June 30, 2023 (which such section is incorporated herein by reference), as well as subsequent filings with the SEC available electronically at www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statements, expectations, beliefs and projections made by us in this release and on our related conference call speak only as of the date on which they are made and are expressed in good faith and our management believes that there is reasonable basis for them, based only on information currently available to us. However, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, our past performance, and that of our management team and of Fidelis MGU, should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED)
Operating net income: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income available to holders of common shares excluding net gain on distribution of Fidelis MGU, net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses), net foreign exchange gains/(losses), and corporate and other expenses which include warrant costs, reorganization expenses, any non-recurring income and expenses, and the income tax (benefit)/expense on these items and the 2023 establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to the implementation of the Bermuda corporate income tax.
Return on average common equity ("ROAE"): represents net income divided by average common shareholders' equity.
Operating return on average common equity ("Operating ROAE"): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders' equity.
Operating net income per diluted share ("Operating EPS"): is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information to more easily analyze the Group's results in a manner similar to how management analyzes the Group's underlying business performance. Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
Operating return on opening common equity ("Operating ROE"): is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted opening common shareholders' equity.
