Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Chief Executive Officer of Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, AG (the "Company") reorganized how the Company manages its business, and as a result, the Company realigned its executive management team and changed its reportable segments to correspond to the reorganization. The Company's Bermuda direct insurance operations, which had previously been included in the international insurance segment, were combined with the U.S. insurance segment, with the new segment renamed the "North American Insurance Segment". The remaining direct insurance operations of the international insurance segment were renamed the "Global Markets Insurance Segment". The Reinsurance Segment remained unchanged. The change in reportable segment structure had no impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows previously reported.
On January 9, 2015, the Company issued a financial supplement that contains its unaudited results of operations for the following periods recast under the new segment format: year ended December 31, 2013, year ended December 31, 2012, nine months ended September 30, 2014, nine months ended September 30, 2013, quarter ended September 30, 2014, quarter ended June 30, 2014, quarter ended March 31, 2014, quarter ended December 31, 2013, quarter ended September 30, 2013, quarter ended June 30, 2013, and quarter ended March 31, 2013. The financial supplement is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The information hereunder is not deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is not otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
