XL Surges Amid Warren Buffett Takeover Speculation (Update1)
Email | Print | A A A
By Andrew Frye and Jeff Kearns
Dec. 18 (Bloomberg) -- XL Capital Ltd., the Bermuda-based insurer looking for a buyer after more than $1 billion in losses this year, surged as much as 28 percent amid speculation that Warren Buffett was considering a bid for the company.
XL rose 37 cents, or 10 percent, to $3.93 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The company, which reported a $1.62 billion third-quarter loss amid declines in investments, has plummeted 92 percent this year.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has been hired to gauge interest from potential bidders, said four people with knowledge of the matter last week. XL’s book value per share, a measure of assets minus liabilities, halved in the three months ended Sept. 30 to $21.65 after the insurer sold stock and investment losses depleted capital, XL said in a regulatory filing last month.
Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is increasing the pace of acquisitions amid a freeze in global credit markets that makes it more difficult for potential rivals to finance takeovers.
“The shares were up on talk that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire might be interested in taking a position in XL,” said Frederic Ruffy, the senior options strategist at WhatsTrading.com, a New York-based provider of options market analysis.
Jackie Wilson, a spokeswoman for Buffett, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

XL Capital Ltd (NYSE:XL) - Despite weakness, the steep price decline leaves the stock undervalued. Free research report for 3Q 08 results.
December 19th, 2008 · No Comments
XL Capital Ltd (XL Capital) reported a fall in total revenues, reflecting the decline in net investment income, further exacerbated by net realized losses on investments. The company also reported a significant loss from investment fund affiliates and derivative instruments. Decline in revenues, a y-o-y increase in total claims and expenses, augmented by a significant loss from operating affiliates, led to a large loss to common shareholders in 3Q 08. Although we expect premium rates in the US to begin to recover following recent hurricane activity, the recent ratings downgrades by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Fitch Ratings are likely to impact underwriting performance in the near to medium term, with economic weakness also curbing premiums. The ending of operating losses from Syncora Holdings Ltd (Syncora) will help support the company, and we believe that it has sufficient cash to sustain itself in the event of losses arising from investments and catastrophic events. Despite negatives, we believe that the steep price decline has left the NYSE common stock undervalued.

XL downgrade hurts business with other insurers
Posted On: Dec. 19, 2008 12:42 PM CST
Michael Bradford
HAMILTON, Bermuda—XL Capital Ltd.'s financial troubles are causing some insurers to rethink their underwriting relationships with the Bermuda-based insurance company.
Market sources say some insurers are reacting to the recent financial-strength rating downgrade to A from A+ of XL's core companies by Standard & Poor's Corp. by refusing to participate in coverage programs that include XL on long-tail exposures.
Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty confirmed that it has made such a move. A spokesman for the Munich, Germany-based insurer said in an e-mail that the S&P downgrade of XL's financial-strength rating "reflects the belief that XL's prospective competitive position and resulting underwriting performance have diminished because of perceived franchise issues stemming from a number of material earnings and capital charges over the past several years and a belief that renewal activity will be below historical norms."
Allianz remains confident that XL can meet its obligations regarding short-tail business, the spokesman said. "However, we can no longer front long-tail business for XL. This is not a negative move against XL but rather a result of the recent downgrade because it affects our own risk exposure."

XL's downgrade means the insurer's rating "no longer meets Allianz Group criteria for long-term business," the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, A.M. Best Co. recently decided to leave unchanged the A financial strength rating it has assigned to XL's core operating companies.

The Moody's downgrade was already factored into the stock, the market knew that was coming. XL is way undervalued here. I'm not saying it should be $30 again, but it's trading at $4 as if there's a threat they will go under. Fortunately, their situation is not that dire, and has improved lately. I'm referring to their structure portfolio in particular, which I believe is the primary reason their stock has been punished. Spreads have tightened in those products, and should continue to do so given that the Fed is basically forcing people to look elsewhere from treasuries.
It seems to me that all the bad news (including the Moody's downgrade) is well factored into the stock. At the very least I think we'll see a near term pop back to the 50 day moving average of ~$6. A break through that would be very bullish. I'm holding at least until February options expiration, let things settle out a bit. But if they make a move from $4 to $13 like they did in 3 trading days from Oct 9-14, I'll probably take some off the table.

Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
The following information is being furnished under Item 7.01, "Regulation FD Disclosure." This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, or 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.
Set forth below are prepared remarks of Mike McGavick, Chief Executive Officer of XL Capital, for insurance broker and client meetings occurring today:
XL is financially and operationally positioned to deliver for its customers as an independent company, and that's our exclusive focus. We expect to continue to be a strong competitor in insurance and reinsurance, without the need to raise additional capital at this time.
Our confidence is based on several factors: our strong capital, our resilient franchise, our reputation for customer service and the steps we have taken and will continue to take to de-risk our portfolio and enhance our enterprise risk management. The affirmation of our A.M. Best "A" Excellent/Stable financial strength rating, and even the one-notch downgrade from the other major agencies
- "A" (Excellent-Neg. outlook) from S&P, "A2" (Good-Neg. outlook) from Moody's and "A" (Strong-Ratings watch) from Fitch - place us within the range of many of our peers in the current difficult financial markets.
These recent ratings actions - and the commentaries accompanying them - remove a significant uncertainty surrounding our company and should affirm your continued confidence in us. You should know that, as we reduced our investment risk and maintained strong underwriting results in the third quarter of 2008, we have enhanced our operational capabilities. For example, we have taken steps to streamline our insurance operations into a single platform in Europe to serve the countries of the European Economic Area as well as Asia and Australia, and formally submitted our request for a license to the Chinese regulators and are exploring potential opportunities in our Brazilian insurance joint venture with Banco Itau, in light of its recently announced merger with Unibanco and the buyout by Unibanco of its JV partner, AIG.
We recently opened new insurance offices in two key business hubs in the U.S. in Boston and Atlanta, and we continue to build out our Upper Middle Market operations in the U.S. and Europe.
Plain and simple: XL remains a financially strong, successful and independent franchise. We thank you for your support and your business. We are pleased that you - and each of the major brokers - have recognized our financial strength and maintained us on their approved list of insurers. This is reflected in the fact that in Europe - where the core renewal date for the insurance business is January 1 - our retention rate is tracking well with prior years. And across the insurance segment our retention rates through November are in line with or ahead of rates for previous years.
-------------------------------------------------------
For the reinsurance segment, we are hard at work on our 1/1 renewals. Submission levels are high, and we are encouraged by strengthening market conditions, particularly in the short-tail lines.
We reiterate our longstanding commitment to you to pay claims, offer solutions to complex problems, and operate with unwavering integrity. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with you in the New Year.

NY insurance supt seeks to revive insurance mart
Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:28pm EST
Market News
By Lilla Zuill
NEW YORK, Jan 14 (Reuters) - New York Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo said he will renew his push to revive the defunct New York Insurance Exchange, and sees revenue from this market potentially adding to state coffers.
Dinallo, on the sidelines of an industry forum hosted by the Insurance Information Institute and other trade groups, said late Tuesday that New York could benefit financially because the exchange could draw business away from Bermuda, a large reinsurance market.
"We could compete for a lot of that business that goes to Bermuda," said Dinallo. "It would be a great alternative for reinsurance and insurance," he added.
The original New York exchange, which created a centralized marketplace for brokering and underwriting, was founded in 1980, but later in the decade closed its doors after the industry was hit by a severe period of losses. New York laws permitting the exchange still exist.
The mart could be similar to the Lloyds of London model, with companies set up in a central location, and brokers able to shop for various types insurance.
This time around, Dinallo sees the exchange as better positioned for success. He said some major insurance companies had pledged support, but declined to identify them.
The exchange would allow underwriters to form syndicates to insure and reinsure unusual or very large exposures.
Reinsurers provide back-up coverage to other insurers, spreading the risk of loss between multiple carriers.
Dinallo has formed a working group to see how the exchange could operate, and said technology would play a large role.
He began to look at a revival of the New York market last year, but said work was temporarily delayed by fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis.
He was appointed by U.S. officials with overseeing American International Group Inc's (AIG.N) sale of some assets to help repay the hefty debt it incurred as part of a $150 billion federal rescue package after it nearly collapsed under the weight of bad mortgage bets.
Dinallo said the timing was right to draw business away from Bermuda, calling the mid-Atlantic British colony "a really expensive place to do business" because of the high cost of goods and living expenses.
Still, Bermuda has built itself into one of the largest reinsurance markets over several decades because of its low corporate tax rate and a regulatory environment that is seen as less onerous than other places, including the United States, where insurers have to deal with a different regulator in each state.
Dinallo said the exchange could help resolve complaints about U.S. state-by-state regulations because members could do business across the nation through the exchange, bypassing the need to apply to each regulator individually.
There is a rising backlash in the U.S. against the Bermuda market. An increasingly vocal group of insurers, including W.R. Berkley Corp (WRB.N) and Berkshire Hathaway Inc's (BRKa.N)(BRKb.N) General Re Corp, are pushing legislators to raise the excise tax charged on foreign reinsurance from the current rate of 1 percent.

XL focused on staying independent, McGavick Says
By Andrew Frye and Erik Holm
Bloomberg News
Posted: 01/14/2009 07:40:33 PM EST
XL Capital Ltd., the Bermuda-based business insurer that has several insurance companies in Stamford and the region, is focused on remaining "an independent company," Chief Executive Officer Michael McGavick said.
XL is "exclusively focused" on running independently, McGavick told reporters after speaking in a roundtable discussion at a New York conference. The remarks reiterate comments from a Dec. 22 regulatory filing.
XL hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to gauge interest from potential bidders, said four people with knowledge of the matter last month. The stock fell by one-third Dec. 10 on concern the firm would be unable to find a buyer amid a worldwide credit crunch. XL said in a statement after the close of trading that day that it was "continuing to explore value-enhancing opportunities."
In the subsequent filing, McGavick said the insurer was "financially and operationally positioned to deliver for its customers as an independent company."

XL Capital Ltd.’s (NYSE:XL) NYSE common stock price has depreciated significantly since our last update report dated 19 December 2008, reflecting ongoing volatility and weakness in global financial markets. However, as we believe that the company has sufficient cash to sustain itself in the event of losses arising from hurricanes and investments, we maintain our BUY rating for the NYSE common stock. We will reassess our NYSE common stock rating for XL Capital once the company announces its 4Q 08 and FY 2008 results on 05 February 2009. As we expect a significant positive currency impact over the medium term, we maintain our BUY rating for the European stock at current levels. We will reassess the European stock rating for XL Capital in our next full update report.
