Mei Zhang

Thank you, Keith. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m happy to welcome you to our conference call to discuss the financial results for AXIS Capital for the third quarter ended September 30. Our earnings press release and financial supplement were issued last night after the market closed. If you’d like copies, please visit the Investor Information section of our website at axiscapital.com. We set aside an hour for today’s call, which is also available as an audio webcast on our website.

With me today are Albert Benchimol, our President and CEO; and Pete Vogt, our CFO. Before I turn the call over to Albert, I will remind everyone that the statements made during this call, including the question-and-answer session, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the risk factors set forth in the company’s most recent report on Form 10-K and other reports the company files with the SEC. This includes the additional risks identified in the cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements in our earnings press release issued last night.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. In addition, this presentation may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations are included in our earnings press release and financial supplement.

With that, I’ll turn the call over to Albert. Albert?

Albert Benchimol

Thank you Mei. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our third quarter earnings call.

Before we begin our review of results, I’d like to say that our foremost concern is with the welfare of the communities impacted by Hurricane Ian and other catastrophic events across the globe both natural and manmade. It’s at times like these that our industry has an opportunity to fulfill its social purpose to help people when they’re down. And for AXIS we’re committed to do our part to support the victims and aid in the recovery effort.
