Beazley PLC - London-based specialist insurance underwriter, managing six Lloyd’s of London syndicates - Confirms there is no change to its guidance for underwriting performance, following the global IT crash on Friday last week caused by a faulty software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. Beazley notes that it is a leading cyber insurer but says that, ‘based on what is known at this point’, the event will not change its guidance for an undiscounted combined ratio in the low-80s for 2024. A combined ratio below 100 means a profit on underwriting, so the lower the better. Beazley says it will profit an update with its first-half results on August 8.
