Everest Group reported second-quarter revenue of $3.96 billion, missing analyst estimates of $4.03 billion and marking an 11.8% year-on-year decline. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $14.85, beating the consensus of $14.53 by 2.2%. Management attributed the revenue shortfall to deliberate reductions in U.S. casualty and property exposures and a challenging reinsurance pricing environment, while highlighting double-digit growth in global specialty segments such as financial lines, marine, and political violence. The company also launched Annapurna Re, a new reinsurance sidecar facility that will cede approximately $200 million of premium per quarter to enhance capital efficiency. Looking ahead, Everest Group emphasized continued underwriting discipline, cautious reserve strengthening, and selective expansion in specialty and international lines.
