Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common shares and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in dividends and earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
