May 04, 2023 at 06:59 AM EDT

Net Earnings of $424 million and Return on Equity of 9.5%, primarily driven by strong investment results
Book Value per Ordinary Share grew 7.8% to $282.74 (Adjusted* $277.38) as of March 31, 2023
Returned $341 million to shareholders through share repurchases
Completed novation of Enhanzed Re reinsurance policies, recording $194 million gain
Subsequent to quarter end, completed $1.9 billion Loss Portfolio Transfer with QBE

HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enstar Group Limited (Nasdaq: ESGR) filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC earlier today. An audio presentation reviewing the first quarter 2023 results with expanded commentary is available on Enstar's investor relations website at investor.enstargroup.com.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights:

Net earnings of $424 million, or $24.79 per diluted ordinary share, compared to net loss of $267 million, or $15.19 per diluted ordinary share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Return on equity ("ROE") of 9.5% and Adjusted ROE* of 6.8% for the quarter compared to (4.6)% and (1.1)%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. ROE performance was driven by investment returns of $355 million and a one-time net gain recognized on the completion of the novation of the Enhanzed Re reinsurance closed block of life annuity policies of $194 million. Adjusted ROE* excludes $41 million of net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed income securities.
Run-off liability earnings ("RLE") of $10 million, driven by favorable development on our workers' compensation line of business and partially offset by increases in the value of certain portfolios that are held at fair value. In comparison, RLE of $176 million in the prior-year period benefited from reductions in the value of certain portfolios that we hold at fair value and favorable results on our inactive catastrophe programs held by Enhanzed Re.
Annualized total investment return (“TIR”) of 9.5% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 6.3%, compared to (11.0)% and 0.5%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Recognized investment results benefited from net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed income securities and other investments, including equities, of $275 million and an increase in net investment income of $76 million.
Entered into $1.9 billion Loss Portfolio Transfer (“LPT”) agreement with certain subsidiaries of QBE Insurance Group Limited (“QBE”) and AUD$360 million (USD $245 million) LPT with RACQ Insurance Limited (“RACQ”). Subsequent to quarter-end, completed the LPT transaction with QBE.
Repurchased remaining $341 million of non-voting convertible ordinary shares, at a price that represented a 13% discount to year-end book value at the time the repurchase was negotiated as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, simplifying Enstar’s capital structure. Following the adoption of ASU 2018-12 on a retrospective basis, the price paid in the repurchase transaction represented a 23% discount to year-end book value as reported in and further described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 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:

“We had a solid start to 2023, delivering strong net earnings largely driven by positive performance in our investment portfolio. We continued to build on our M&A successes from the prior year, entering into a $1.9 billion ground-up LPT with QBE, which we completed at the beginning of April, and a second USD $245 million transaction with RACQ, which we expect to close later this month. We are well-equipped to take advantage of the many opportunities we continue to see in an ever-growing sector of the market.

We also took the opportunity to simplify our capital structure through an accretive repurchase of all outstanding non-voting convertible ordinary shares. Looking ahead, strengthened by our scale, differentiated expertise, claims management function, and strong balance sheet, we remain well-positioned to provide long-term value to our shareholders.”

Overall Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 versus 2022: Net loss from our Run-off segment was $5 million compared to net earnings of $19 million in the comparative quarter, primarily due to:

A $17 million decrease in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses in the current quarter, mainly driven by a $14 million decrease in favorable prior period development in comparison to the comparative quarter.
- We recognized favorable development of $11 million on our workers’ compensation line of business in the current quarter as a result of continued favorable claims experience, most notably in the 2021 acquisition year.
- In comparison, we recognized favorable development of $34 million on our workers’ compensation line of business in the comparative quarter as a result of favorable loss activity in the period, partially offset by adverse development of $13 million on our property line of business due to unfavorable loss emergence relating to construction risks; and
Reductions in net premiums earned that were greater than the reductions in current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs, following our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020.

Overall Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 versus 2022: Net earnings from our Investments segment was $344 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to net losses of $314 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The favorable movement of $658 million was primarily due to:

net realized and unrealized gains on fixed income securities of $41 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $328 million in the comparative period. The favorable variance of $369 million was primarily driven by a decline in interest rates in the current period, in comparison to an increase in interest rates across U.S., U.K. and European markets and widening credit spreads in the prior period;
net realized and unrealized gains on other investments, including equities, of $147 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $84 million in the comparative period. The favorable variance of $231 million was primarily driven by:
- Net unrealized gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily from our public equities, CLO equity, fixed income funds, private equity funds and hedge funds, largely as a result of a rally in global equity markets;
- Net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven by our fixed income funds, public equities, hedge funds and CLO equities, largely as a result of global equity market declines and the widening of high yield credit spreads. This was partially offset by gains on our private equity funds, private credit funds and real estate funds, which are typically recorded on a one quarter lag; and
an increase in our net investment income of $80 million, which is primarily due to the investment of new premium and reinvestment of fixed income securities at higher yields and the impact of rising interest rates on the $3.0 billion of our fixed income securities that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments generated increased net investment income of $27 million, which equates to an increase of 361 basis points on those investments in comparison to the prior period.

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 and unrealized (gains)/losses on fixed maturity investments recognized in our income statement, 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
Adjusted 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 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 net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturity investments 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 income securities 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 earnings 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 earnings (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders, adjusted for: -net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturity investments 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 earnings 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: -net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturity investments 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 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 income securities (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: -net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities and funds held-directly managed; and -unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities, AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification adjustments and excluding foreign exchange.
*Adjusted average aggregate total investable assets (denominator***)	Total investment return (dollars), adjusted for: -net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities and funds held-directly managed; and -unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities, AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification adjustments and excluding foreign exchange.
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: The results of our Legacy Underwriting segment have been economically transferred to a third party primarily through use of reinsurance and a Capacity Lease Agreement⁽²⁾; as such, the results are not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE, which is designed to analyze the impact of our claims management strategies; The results of our Assumed Life segment relate only to our exposure to active property catastrophe business; as this business is not in run-off, the results are not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE; 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.
