Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

On 25 February 2026, FIHL announced that it intends to change its name to Pelagos Insurance Capital Limited and is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbol (NYSE: PLGO) in May 2026, subject to all necessary regulatory and legal approvals.
