HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enstar Group Limited (Nasdaq: ESGR) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights:

Net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $119 million, or $8.02 per diluted ordinary share, compared to $424 million, or $24.79 per diluted ordinary share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Return on equity ("ROE") of 2.4% and Adjusted ROE* of 2.6% for the quarter compared to ROE and Adjusted ROE* of 9.5% and 6.8%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023. The prior-year period’s ROE and Adjusted ROE* included a $194 million net gain recognized on the novation of Enhanzed Re reinsurance closed block of life annuity policies. Year-over-year ROE performance was also impacted by a decline in the gain from fair value changes in trading securities, funds held and other investments. First quarter 2024 Adjusted ROE* also excludes $25 million of net realized losses on our fixed maturities and fair value changes in trading securities and funds held.
Run-off liability earnings ("RLE") of $24 million for the quarter (compared to RLE of $10 million in the prior-year period) was driven by favorable development on our professional indemnity/directors and officers and asbestos lines of business, partially offset by adverse development on our general casualty and environmental lines of business.
Annualized total investment return (“TIR”) of 4.9% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 5.5% for the quarter compared to Annualized TIR and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 9.5% and 6.3%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Recognized investment results in the first quarter of 2024 benefited from net investment income of $160 million and fair value change in other investments, including equities, of $104 million, partially offset by net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturities, including other comprehensive income (“OCI”), of $37 million.
Enstar’s Bermuda-based wholly owned subsidiary Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited was assigned an Insurer Financial Strength Rating of ‘A’ with stable outlook by S&P Global Ratings.
Announced $400 million Loss Portfolio Transfer (“LPT”) agreement with SiriusPoint subsequent to quarter-end, to reinsure a portfolio of workers’ compensation business covering underwriting years 2018 to 2023.

* Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Dominic Silvester, Enstar CEO, said:

“Our momentum continues with a growth in book value of 1.7% in the first quarter, driven by solid performance in our investment portfolio and another quarter of positive Run-Off Liability Earnings.

We were pleased to execute a $400 million Loss Portfolio Transfer with SiriusPoint earlier this week. The transaction expands our Workers’ Compensation portfolio, which is a line of business where we have a wealth of experience and have had significant success. We look forward to taking advantage of opportunities across our business throughout the year, as we stay focused on meeting the growing risk management needs of the (re)insurance sector while creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Overall Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 versus 2023: Net loss from our Run-off segment was $11 million compared to net loss of $5 million in the comparative quarter, primarily due to:

A $10 million decrease in favorable PPD in the current quarter, mainly driven by a $9 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses in the comparative quarter.
- During the first quarter of 2024, the net favorable development was primarily due to favorable development on our Professional Indemnity/Directors and Officers line of business of $29 million driven by favorable claims experience and favorable development on our Asbestos line of business of $24 million resulting from actuarial analysis. These were partially offset by adverse development on our General Casualty line of business of $18 million driven by adverse claims experience and adverse development on our Environmental line of business of $25 million due to results from actuarial reviews in the period.
- In comparison, during the first quarter of 2023 we recognized favorable development of $11 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claims experience, most notably in the 2021 acquisition year.
A net favorable change in current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs of $6 million.

Overall Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 versus 2023: Net income from our Investments segment was $224 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net income of $344 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The variance of $120 million was primarily due to:

a decrease in the gain from fair value changes in fixed maturities of $78 million, primarily as a result of increases in interest rates across U.S., U.K. and European markets in the current period, in comparison to decreases in interest rates in the comparative period;
fair value change in other investments, including equities, of $104 million, compared to $147 million in the comparative period. The decrease of $43 million was primarily driven by:
- a decrease in gain in the fair value change in other investments of $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by an unfavorable variance in the fair value change of an embedded derivative in relation to the Aspen LPT, partially offset by increases in the fair value change related to CLO equity funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and high yield bond and loan funds relative to the comparative quarter; and
- a decrease in the gain in fair value changes in equities of $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, largely as a result of the reduced amount of equities within the investment portfolio relative to the comparative quarter.
an increase in our net investment income of $4 million, which is primarily due to the reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields, deployment of consideration received from deals closed over the past 12 months and the impact of rising interest rates on the $3.1 billion of our average fixed maturities outstanding during the current period that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments generated net investment income of $58 million, an increase of $2 million in comparison to the comparative quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, compare our performance against prior periods and against our peers, and as performance measures in our incentive compensation program.

These non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long-term and provide the opportunity to analyze our results in a way that is more aligned with the manner in which our management measures our underlying performance.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, is used to enhance the understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. It is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Some of the adjustments reflected in our non-GAAP measures are recurring items, such as the exclusion of adjustments to net realized (gains)/losses and fair value changes on fixed maturity investments recognized in our statements of operations, the fair value of certain of our loss reserve liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option, and the amortization of fair value adjustments.

Management makes these adjustments in assessing our performance so that the changes in fair value due to interest rate movements, which are applied to some but not all of our assets and liabilities as a result of preexisting accounting elections, do not impair comparability across reporting periods.

It is important for the readers of our periodic filings to understand that these items will recur from period to period.

However, we exclude these items for the purpose of presenting a comparable view across reporting periods of the impact of our underlying claims management and investments without the effect of interest rate fluctuations on assets that we anticipate to hold to maturity and non-cash changes to the fair value of our reserves.

Similarly, our non-GAAP measures reflect the exclusion of certain items that we deem to be nonrecurring, unusual or infrequent when the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is not reasonably likely that such item may recur within two years, nor was there a similar charge or gain in the preceding two years. This includes adjustments related to bargain purchase gains on acquisitions of businesses, net gains or losses on sales of subsidiaries, net assets of held for sale or disposed subsidiaries classified as discontinued operations and other items that we separately disclose.

The following table presents more information on each non-GAAP measure. The results and GAAP reconciliations for these measures are set forth further below.

Non-GAAP Measure	Definition	Purpose of Non-GAAP Measure over GAAP Measure
Fully diluted book value per ordinary share	Total Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity Divided by Number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for: -the ultimate effect of any dilutive securities (which include restricted shares, restricted share units, directors’ restricted share units and performance share units) on the number of ordinary shares outstanding	Increases the number of ordinary shares to reflect the exercise of equity awards granted but not yet vested as, over the long term, this presents both management and investors with a more economically accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns by factoring in the impact of share dilution. We use this non-GAAP measure in our incentive compensation program.
Adjusted return on equity (%)	Adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders divided by adjusted opening Enstar ordinary shareholder's equity	Calculating the operating income (loss) as a percentage of our adjusted opening Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity provides a more consistent measure of the performance of our business by enabling comparison between the financial periods presented. We eliminate the impact of fair value changes and net realized (gains) losses on fixed maturities and funds-held directly managed and the change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we have elected the fair value option, as: we typically hold most of our fixed maturities until the earlier of maturity or the time that they are used to fund any settlement of related liabilities which are generally recorded at cost; and removing the fair value option improves comparability since there are limited acquisition years for which we elected the fair value option. Therefore, we believe that excluding their impact on our earnings improves comparability of our core operational performance across periods. We include fair value adjustments as non-GAAP adjustments to the adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders as they are non-cash charges that are not reflective of the impact of our claims management strategies on our loss portfolios. We eliminate the net gain (loss) on the purchase and sales of subsidiaries and net income from discontinued operations, as these items are not indicative of our ongoing operations. We use this non-GAAP measure in our incentive compensation program.
Adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders *(numerator)*	Net income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders, adjusted for: -fair value changes and net realized (gains) losses on fixed maturities and funds held-directly managed, -change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we have elected the fair value option ⁽¹⁾, -amortization of fair value adjustments, -net gain/loss on purchase and sales of subsidiaries (if any), -net income from discontinued operations (if any), -tax effects of adjustments, and -adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests
*Adjusted opening Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity (denominator)***	Opening Enstar ordinary shareholders' equity, less: -fair value changes on fixed maturities and funds held-directly managed, -fair value of insurance contracts for which we have elected the fair value option ⁽¹⁾, -fair value adjustments, and -net assets of held for sale or disposed subsidiaries classified as discontinued operations (if any)
Adjusted run-off liability earnings (%)	Adjusted PPD divided by average adjusted net loss reserves.	Calculating the RLE as a percentage of our adjusted average net loss reserves provides a more meaningful and comparable measurement of the impact of our claims management strategies on our loss portfolios across acquisition years and also to our overall financial periods. We use this measure to evaluate the impact of our claims management strategies because it provides visibility into our ability to settle our claims obligations for amounts less than our initial estimate at the point of acquiring the obligations. The following components of periodic recurring net incurred losses and LAE and net loss reserves are not considered key components of our claims management performance for the following reasons: Prior to the settlement of the contractual arrangements, the results of our Legacy Underwriting segment were economically transferred to a third party primarily through use of reinsurance and a Capacity Lease Agreement⁽³⁾; as such, the results were not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE, which is designed to analyze the impact of our claims management strategies⁽²⁾; The change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we have elected the fair value option⁽¹⁾ has been removed to support comparability between the two acquisition years for which we elected the fair value option in reserves assumed and the acquisition years for which we did not make this election (specifically, this election was only made in the 2017 and 2018 acquisition years and the election of such option is irrevocable); and The amortization of fair value adjustments are non-cash charges that obscure our trends on a consistent basis. We include our performance in managing claims and estimated future expenses on our defendant A&E liabilities because such performance is relevant to assessing our claims management strategies even though such liabilities are not included within the loss reserves. We use this measure to assess the performance of our claim strategies and part of the performance assessment of our past acquisitions.
Adjusted prior period development *(numerator)*	Prior period net incurred losses and LAE, adjusted to: Remove: -Legacy Underwriting⁽²⁾ operations -amortization of fair value adjustments, -change in fair value of insurance contracts for which we have elected the fair value option ⁽¹⁾, and Add: -the reduction/(increase) in estimates of net ultimate liabilities and reduction in estimated future expenses of our defendant A&E liabilities.
Adjusted net loss reserves *(denominator)*	Net losses and LAE, adjusted to: Remove: -Legacy Underwriting⁽²⁾ net loss reserves -current period net loss reserves -net fair value adjustments associated with the acquisition of companies, -the fair value adjustments for contracts for which we have elected the fair value option⁽¹⁾ and Add: -net nominal defendant A&E liability exposures and estimated future expenses.
Adjusted total investment return (%)	Adjusted total investment return (dollars) recognized in earnings for the applicable period divided by period average adjusted total investable assets.	Provides a key measure of the return generated on the capital held in the business and is reflective of our investment strategy. Provides a consistent measure of investment returns as a percentage of all assets generating investment returns. We adjust our investment returns to eliminate the impact of the change in fair value of fixed maturities (both credit spreads and interest rates), as we typically hold most of these investments until the earlier of maturity or used to fund any settlement of related liabilities which are generally recorded at cost.
*Adjusted total investment return ($) (numerator***)	Total investment return (dollars), adjusted for: -fair value changes in fixed maturities, trading and funds held-directly managed; and -unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities, AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification adjustments and excluding foreign exchange.
*Adjusted average aggregate total investable assets (denominator***)	Total average investable assets, adjusted for: -net unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities, AFS included within AOCI -fair value changes in fixed maturities, trading and funds held-directly managed
