HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- P&C operations combined ratio of 96.4% for the quarter and 93.6% for the year -- Book value per ordinary share of $24.60 at December 31, 2009, an increase of 3% in the quarter and 59% for the full year -- Operating income(1) of $235.8 million, or $0.69 per ordinary share, for the quarter and $917.3 million, or $2.69 per ordinary share, for the full year -- Net loss of $40.3 million, or $0.12 per ordinary share, for the quarter, primarily due to $254.8 million of after-tax net realized losses on investments -- Net income of $206.6 million, or $0.61 per ordinary share, for the full year -- Full year return on equity based on operating income(1) of 13.5%

XL Capital Ltd ("XL" or the "Company") (NYSE:XL) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2009 results.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Chief Executive Officer Mike McGavick said: "Our results for the quarter and the full year clearly illustrate XL's re-emergence as a leading P&C company. Our top line in the fourth quarter of 2009 was within 3 points of the same quarter a year ago. Our P&C combined ratio was a healthy 96.4% for the quarter and 93.6% for the full year. Taken together, these metrics demonstrate that we were able to achieve a turnaround while maintaining our underwriting discipline and historically prudent reserving standards. And we did so even in the continued soft market.

"Successfully meeting the challenge to reduce expenses was one of the primary reasons we were able to achieve these strong results. Our cost-saving initiatives have allowed us to stem the tide of the difficult financial times and are intended to put XL in a competitively advantageous position.

"One of our key initiatives throughout the year has been to reposition the investment portfolio to one more typical of a P&C company, and to reduce its inherent volatility.

"During the quarter, we saw market prices approach intrinsic values for certain asset classes as a result of a technical driven spread rally but where the holdings were still exposed to weak fundamentals. We seized this opportunity to further de-risk our investment portfolio by selling $1.2 billion of such assets. The repositioning of our P&C portfolio is now 80% complete, and further reductions in legacy positions are more likely to occur over time from natural cash flows. Our attention has now turned to the optimal realignment of the portfolio rather than pure de-risking actions.

"Our strong operating income for the quarter of $235.8 million, or $0.69 per ordinary share, was offset by total after-tax net realized losses on investments in the fourth quarter of $254.8 million, which was the principal driver of the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $40.3 million or $0.12 per ordinary share.

"Book value grew for the third straight quarter, as we recorded a 3% increase in book value per ordinary share to $24.60 and a 4% increase in tangible book value per ordinary share to $22.13 in the fourth quarter. Total shareholders' equity increased from $9.2 billion to $9.4 billion in the quarter.

"We are tremendously proud of the turnaround XL made in 2009. Our full year net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was $206.6 million compared to a loss of $2.6 billion in 2008. We generated an operating return on equity for the year of 13.5%. Our tangible book value per ordinary share grew by 72% in 2009. All of this was achieved in the depths of a soft market."

Mr. McGavick concluded: "No one can state with certainty when or how the underwriting cycle will turn, but we believe we have taken the steps necessary to position XL well, both in the face of current challenges and for when market conditions improve."

Three and twelve months ended December 31 (US dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

Three months ended Twelve months ended December 31 December 31 2009 2008 2009 2008

Net (loss) income attributable to ordinary shareholders ($40,319) ($1,433,158) $206,607 ($2,632,458) Per ordinary share (diluted) ($0.12) ($4.33) $0.61 ($10.94)

Operating income(1) $235,756 $189,510 $917,255 $840,347 Per ordinary share (diluted) $0.69 $0.57 $2.69 $3.49

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders for the fourth quarter of $40.3 million, or $0.12 per ordinary share, compared to a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $1,433.2 million, or $4.33 loss per ordinary share for the fourth quarter of 2008. Operating income was $235.8 million, or $0.69 per ordinary share, compared to $189.5 million, or $0.57 per ordinary share in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The significant improvement in the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $990.0 million non-cash charge for the partial impairment of goodwill taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. Also contributing to the improvement was an increase in operating income of $46.2 million primarily due to an increase of $240.6 million in the net income from investment affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in the underwriting contribution of XL's P&C operations of $116.5 million and a decrease in investment income of $76.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net investment income for the quarter was $316.4 million compared to $393.1 million in the prior year quarter. Net investment income on the P&C and Corporate portfolio decreased 24% from the prior year quarter to $233.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower investment yields, driven by both the impact of lower US LIBOR rates on floating rate structured credit assets, and higher allocations to lower yielding US Treasuries, agencies and cash as a result of continued de-risking activities.

Pre-tax net realized investment losses for the quarter were $263.6 million compared to a loss of $568.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 comprises other-than-temporary impairments, net of non-credit impairments, totaling $120.8 million, and realized losses on securities sold of $142.8 million. The other-than-temporary impairments in the quarter arose primarily on below investment grade structured securities. Realized losses on securities sold resulted from sales of $1.2 billion of securities, including CMBS, prime RMBS, corporate and hybrid securities, partially offset by gains from sale of $2.2 billion of lower yielding government and corporate holdings.

The operating expenses for the quarter included charges of approximately $21.8 million related to the Company's previously announced cost reduction efforts, compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2008. These restructuring charges totaled $81.5 million for the full year 2009, compared to $50.8 million for the full year 2008.

The annualized return on ordinary shareholders' equity, based on operating income, was 11.4% for the quarter as compared to 12.4% in the prior year quarter.

For the year, the Company produced net income of $206.6 million, or $0.61 per ordinary share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 billion, or $10.94 per ordinary share, for the prior year period. Included in the prior year was a loss of $1.4 billion related to the transaction closed on August 5, 2008 with Syncora and certain of its subsidiaries. Our underlying effective tax rate for the year was 14.5% compared to a third quarter estimate of 12%. This primarily resulted from changes in the proportion of profits generated in some of the jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.

Operating income was $917.3 million or $2.69 per ordinary share, compared to $840.3 million or $3.49 per ordinary share in the prior year period. The full year return on ordinary shareholders' equity, based on operating income, was 13.5% compared to 12.0% in 2008.

P&C operations Three and twelve months ended December 31 (US dollars in thousands)

Three months ended Twelve months ended December 31 December 31 2009 2008 2009 2008

Gross premiums written $1,147,684 $1,182,291 $6,111,311 $7,569,391 Net premiums written 965,004 984,359 4,743,712 5,738,293 Net premiums earned 1,254,424 1,403,661 5,151,739 5,990,251

-- P&C gross and net premiums written for both the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 declined from the prior year primarily due to planned reductions in several targeted areas, termination of certain programs and general macroeconomic conditions impacting insured values and retention. Also impacting the decline was the Company's focus on rate discipline in a competitive environment.

-- P&C net premiums earned included $862.8 million from the Insurance segment and $391.6 million from the Reinsurance segment for the fourth quarter 2009, and $3.6 billion and $1.6 billion for the full year, respectively.

-- The loss ratio for the quarter was 62.2% compared to 58.0% for the fourth quarter of 2008, with full year loss ratios of 61.5% and 66.2%, respectively. Included in the current quarter loss ratio was prior year favorable development of $30.8 million compared to $268.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Included in the full year loss ratio was prior year favorable development of $284.7 million compared to $610.7 million for the full year 2008. The effect of this reduction in favorable prior year development was offset by significantly lower current year loss experience in 2009 compared to the fourth quarter and full year of 2008, particularly in the property line of business.

-- The fourth quarter 2009 loss ratio included favorable development related to current year catastrophes (net of reinsurance recoveries and reinstatement premiums) of $5.5 million compared to the $7.8 million unfavorable development in the fourth quarter of 2008, which included development on Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Full year net losses due to catastrophes (net of reinsurance recoveries and reinstatement premiums) were $52.3 million and $376.0 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

-- The expense ratio for the quarter included charges of approximately $16.8 million related to the Company's previously announced cost reduction efforts, of which $15.2 million and $1.6 million related to the Insurance and Reinsurance segments, respectively. These restructuring charges totaled $67.5 million for the full year 2009, of which $57.0 million and $10.5 million related to the Insurance and Reinsurance segments, respectively. There were restructuring charges of $4.0 million in the prior year quarter and $31.2 million in the full year 2008 impacting the expense ratio.

-- Both the fourth quarter and full year 2009 expense ratios also included increased acquisition costs primarily as a result of higher profit-related commissions.

-- The P&C combined ratio for the quarter was 96.4% compared to 88.4% for the fourth quarter of 2008. The full year combined ratio was 93.6% and 94.9% for 2009 and 2008, respectively. Excluding the charges for the cost reduction initiatives, the P&C combined ratios would have been 95.1% and 92.3% for the current quarter and full year, respectively, compared to 88.1% and 94.4% for the same periods in 2008, respectively.

Capital Position

Book value per ordinary share was $24.60 at December 31, 2009 as compared to $15.46 at December 31, 2008.

Net unrealized losses on investments, net of tax, were $1.2 billion at December 31, 2009 compared with net unrealized losses, net of tax, of $1.5 billion at September 30, 2009. The decrease in net unrealized losses for the quarter in the Company's P&C operations was substantially due to realized losses during the quarter, combined with favorable mark-to-market movements arising from tightening spreads, offset by rising interest rates. The decrease in net unrealized losses in the Company's Life operations was a result of realized losses during the quarter, offset by negative mark-to-market as a result of rising U.K. interest rates partially offset by tightening spreads. In addition, as a means of reducing U.S. GAAP book value volatility arising from the Company's run-off Life operations, the Company designated $546.1 million of Euro-denominated long-duration government securities as held-to-maturity during the quarter, which results in these securities being carried at amortized cost.

At the end of the year, 56% of our $33.9 billion fixed income portfolio remained in cash, government, government-related or government-supported securities.

Further details of the results for the quarter and of the Company's fixed income investment portfolio may be found in the Company's Financial Supplement and Fixed Income Portfolio Data Supplement, respectively. These documents are both dated February 9, 2010 and are available from the Investor Relations section of the XL Capital website.

Rating Action on XL Capital

By: Zacks Equity Research
January 19, 2010
http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/29489/Rating+Action+on+XL+Capital

Rating agency A.M. Best affirmed the rating of XL Capital’s (XL - Analyst Report) subsidiaries with a stable outlook. It includes the affirmation of a financial strength rating (FSR) of “A-“ and an issuer credit rating (ICR) of “a-” for XL Life Ltd., FSR of “A-“ and ICR of “a-” of XL Life Insurance and Annuity Company as well as the ICR of “a-” and the debt ratings for XLLIAC Global Funding.

The rating agency acknowledges XL Life’s adequate capitalization and strong support of the parent. It accounts for life insurance and reinsurance operations of the group.

However, negatives to the ratings include XL Life’s thinning business profile within the group, declining premiums and unfavorable operating results. Moreover, uncertainty and volatility in the markets have led to mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses recently.

XL Capital’s performance has deteriorated in the recent years due to softer policy sales coupled with investment losses. Thus, the company is focusing on those lines of business within its insurance and reinsurance operations that provide the best return on capital over the pricing cycle. The company will be highly selective about new business, emphasizing short-tail lines where applicable in its reinsurance operations, exiting other businesses (e.g., casualty facultative business), not renewing certain insurance programs as well as continuing to reduce long-term agreements (within the insurance operations) in order to reap the benefit of improving pricing. We expect that this selective exposure will result in a reduction in both gross and net premiums written in 2009, and hence further restrict its top-line growth.

Last week, XL Capital announced its intention of shifting its place of incorporation to Ireland from the Cayman Islands.

XL Capital is expected to release fourth quarter 2009 results on Feb. 9, 2010. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter is a gain of 69 cents per share.

XL's Chief Executive Officer, Michael S. McGavick, said: "We believe that changing XL's place of incorporation from the Caymans to Ireland is in the best interests of XL and our shareholders. Among other benefits, we believe the proposed move will reduce certain risks that may impact us and offer us the opportunity to reinforce our reputation, which is one of our key assets, and to better support our global business platforms. The new "XL Group" name is desirable to reflect our exclusive focus on providing property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance products for our customers' complex risks."

To effect the redomestication, a new Irish public limited company, XL Group plc, would replace XL Capital Ltd as the ultimate holding company of the XL group of companies, and the Company's ordinary shareholders would receive one ordinary share of the new Irish company in lieu of each ordinary share of the Company held by them. XL expects to submit the proposal for redomestication, along with related proposals, to its shareholders in the next several months and complete the transaction on July 1, 2010. The proposed redomestication will be subject to approval by the Company's ordinary shareholders and the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, as well as satisfaction of other conditions

XL has operated in Ireland for most of its corporate history and is very familiar with its regulatory and legal environment. Ireland has strong international relationships as a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union, a long history of international investment, and long-established commercial relationships, trade agreements and tax treaties with the other European Union member states, the United States and other countries around the world. As a result, XL believes Ireland offers a stable long-term legal and regulatory environment with the financial sophistication to meet the needs of XL's global business

XL does not expect the redomestication will have any material impact on its financial results. XL will continue to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and be subject to SEC reporting requirements. Further, the Company will continue to be subject to the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), and will continue to report its financial results in U.S. dollars and under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, in addition to any reporting requirements under Irish law. The Company's shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "XL"

This communication is being made in respect of the proposed redomestication. In connection with the proposed redomestication, XL has today filed a proxy statement in preliminary form with the SEC, and XL will mail the definitive proxy statement to its shareholders when available. Security holders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement regarding the proposed redomestication when it becomes available because it will contain important information. You may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement (when available) and other related documents filed by XL with the SEC at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/. The definitive proxy statement (when it is available) and the other documents may also be obtained for free by accessing XL's website at http://www.xlcapital.com/ by clicking on the link for "Investor Relations" and then clicking on the link for "SEC Filings"

XL and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees may be soliciting proxies from shareholders in favor of the redomestication. You can obtain information about XL's executive officers and directors in XL's proxy statement for the 2009 annual general meeting filed with the SEC on March 9, 2009. You can obtain free copies of this document from XL using the contact information in this press release

The foregoing factors are in addition to those factors included in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents on file with the SEC (including the proxy statement filed with the SEC in connection with the redomestication).

I hate to say it, but I hope not. It's been so easy buying on the crash and flipping. I do have a feeling things are going to change though. With the SEC enforcing their rules on short selling in about a month it is going to force a lot of covering.

Yep, bought at 2.83 on Friday and sold yesterday at 3.39. Waiting for the next big hit til I get back in. Tried to buy another symbol yesterday, but low-balled a little too much and missed it. Today I sit doing nothing.
