Insights

The reported full-year net income of $1.1 billion and a Return on Equity (ROE) of 24.2% for Enstar Group Limited represent a substantial recovery from the previous year's net loss of $906 million. The growth in book value per share to $343.45 is a significant indicator of the company's enhanced intrinsic value, which is critical for investor valuation models. The repurchase of shares at a discount suggests a strategic move to capitalize on the perceived undervaluation of the company's stock, which could be seen as a positive signal to the market regarding management's confidence in the company's prospects.

Enstar's successful closure of loss portfolio transfer agreements with QBE and RACQ, totaling $2.2 billion in liabilities, underscores its competitive position in the legacy insurance market. This strategic move could potentially lead to increased future earnings stability due to the nature of run-off insurance businesses, which manage policies that are no longer actively written but still require claims management and resolution. However, investors should be aware of the risks associated with such transactions, including the potential for adverse development on assumed liabilities.

The enactment of the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 and the subsequent tax benefit of $205 million for Enstar is a notable event that has positively influenced the company's financial results. While this provides a short-term boost to net income, stakeholders should consider the sustainability of such benefits and the potential for changes in tax legislation to impact future earnings.

Enstar's engagement in a protection agreement with AIG to cover up to $400 million of adverse development on Validus Re carried loss reserves is a strategic maneuver within the reinsurance space, which could have implications for market dynamics. This deal not only strengthens Enstar's relationship with a major industry player but also exemplifies the demand for legacy insurance solutions. The implications for the broader insurance and reinsurance markets include potential shifts in how companies manage their legacy liabilities and the role of specialized firms like Enstar in this process.

It is important to highlight the Annualized Total Investment Return (TIR) of 14.8% and the Adjusted TIR of 5.5%, which are indicative of strong performance in Enstar's investment portfolio. The company's ability to generate substantial investment income and gains, particularly in a volatile market environment, is a testament to its investment management strategies. The figures presented suggest that Enstar has effectively navigated market challenges, which could reassure investors of the company's financial resilience and risk management capabilities.

The completion of significant transactions such as the acquisition of the remaining 41.0% equity interest in StarStone Specialty Holdings Limited, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary, reflects Enstar's ongoing strategic consolidation efforts within the insurance industry. Such moves can streamline operations and potentially lead to cost synergies. However, the legal complexities and regulatory approvals associated with such transactions must be managed effectively to realize the anticipated benefits. It is crucial for stakeholders to consider the legal due diligence performed during these transactions to mitigate risks associated with the integration of new business units and the management of legacy liabilities.

  • Full year 2023 Net Income attributable to Enstar Ordinary Shareholders of $1.1 billion, Return on Equity of 24.2% and Growth in Book Value per Ordinary Share of 31.0% to $343.45 (Fully Diluted* $336.72)
  • Fourth Quarter Net Income attributable to Enstar Ordinary Shareholders of $599 million and Return on Equity of 13.7%
  • Closed Previously Announced Transaction with AIG
  • Repurchased 841,735 Voting Ordinary Shares for $191 Million at a Significant Discount to Book Value Per Ordinary Share

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enstar Group Limited (Nasdaq: ESGR) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights:

 

  • Net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $599 million, or $39.71 per diluted ordinary share, for the quarter compared to net loss attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $227 million, or $13.26 per diluted ordinary share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
  • Return on equity ("ROE") of 13.7% and Adjusted ROE* of 9.0% for the quarter compared to 5.5% and 4.0%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022. ROE performance was driven by investment returns of $463 million and a tax benefit from the enactment of the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 in December 2023 of $205 million. Adjusted ROE* excludes $194 million of net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed maturities and funds held - directly managed.
  • Run-off liability earnings ("RLE") of $96 million for the quarter was driven by favorable development on our workers' compensation and property lines of business and a reduction in the provisions for ULAE, partially offset by a charge to increase the value of certain portfolios that are held at fair value due to decreases in global corporate bond yields and adverse development on our general casualty line of business. In comparison, RLE of $280 million in the comparative quarter was positively impacted by income resulting from reductions in the value of certain portfolio liabilities that are held at fair value due to increases in global corporate bond yields, favorable development in our workers’ compensation and marine, aviation and transit lines of business, and the recognition of a gain on commutation of Enhanzed Re’s catastrophe reinsurance business. The comparative annual results were partially offset by adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business.
  • Annualized total investment return (“TIR”) of 14.8% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 5.5% compared to 3.5% and 1.9%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Recognized investment results benefited from net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed maturities, including other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of $414 million, net investment income of $176 million and net unrealized gains on our other investments, including equities, of $102 million.
  • Signed agreement with American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) to provide protection to AIG on its retained exposure to adverse development on Validus Re carried loss reserves, up to a limit of $400 million. The agreement became effective as of November 1, 2023, corresponding to the closing of AIG’s sale of Validus Re to RenaissanceRe.
  • Repurchased 841,735 voting ordinary shares for $191 million at a price per share of $227.18, representing a 5% discount to the trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of our voting ordinary shares at the agreed November 2023 measurement date.
  • Acquired remaining 41.0% equity interest in StarStone Specialty Holdings Limited (“SSHL”) in exchange for total consideration of $182 million. Following the completion of the transaction, SSHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary and we no longer have any ownership interest in Atrium.

Dominic Silvester, Enstar CEO, said:

“We finished 2023 strong off the back of an excellent fourth quarter, as we received sizeable contributions from our investment portfolio and generated solid run-off liability earnings, which resulted in ROE for the full year of 24.2%. In addition, we repurchased $532 million of shares during the year, which contributed to our total growth in book value.”

“Turning to M&A, we maintained our leading market position through our completed loss portfolio transfer transactions with QBE and RACQ, as well as our bespoke agreement with AIG - all in acquiring $2.2 billion of liabilities. Looking ahead, we continue to see demand for our innovative legacy solutions and are confident that our strategy and robust business model will ensure we continue to meet our clients’ evolving needs as the dominant legacy player, while driving long-term shareholder value.”

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Highlights:
  • Net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $1.1 billion, or $68.47 per diluted ordinary share, compared to net loss attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $906 million, or $52.65 per diluted ordinary share, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
  • ROE of 24.2% and Adjusted ROE* of 18.8%, compared to (15.6)% and (1.1)%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. ROE performance was driven by investment returns of $1.1 billion, a tax benefit from the enactment of the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 of $205 million and a year-to-date net gain recognized on the completion of the novation of the Enhanzed Re reinsurance of a closed block of life annuity policies of $196 million.
  • RLE of $131 million was driven by favorable development on our workers' compensation and property lines of business and a reduction in the provisions for ULAE, partially offset by charges to increase the value of certain portfolios that are held at fair value and adverse development on our general casualty line of business. In comparison, RLE of $756 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was positively impacted by favorable development in our workers’ compensation and marine, aviation and transit lines of business and a reduction in the provisions for ULAE, as well as from reductions in the value of certain portfolio liabilities that are held at fair value. The favorable results in 2022 were partially offset by adverse development in our general casualty and motor lines of business.
  • TIR of 7.2% and Adjusted TIR* of 5.3%, compared to (9.0)% and (0.2)%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. Recognized investment results benefited from net unrealized gains on our other investments, including equities, of $397 million, net investment income of $647 million, and net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed maturities, including OCI of $288 million.
  • Completed LPT agreements with certain subsidiaries of QBE Insurance Group Limited (“QBE”) and with RACQ Insurance Limited (“RACQ”). At closing, we assumed net loss reserves of $2.0 billion from QBE and $179 million from RACQ in exchange for consideration of $1.9 billion and $179 million, respectively.
  • Amended and restated our existing revolving credit agreement, increasing commitments from $600 million to $800 million and increasing the term by five years.
  • In addition to the voting ordinary shares repurchased in the fourth quarter, repurchased our remaining 1,597,712 non-voting convertible ordinary shares outstanding for $341 million at a price per share of $213.13, representing a 5% discount to the trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of our voting ordinary shares at the agreed March 2023 measurement date.

Overall Results

2023 versus 2022: Net income from our Run-off segment decreased by $277 million, primarily due to:

  • A $260 million decrease in favorable prior period development (“PPD”), mainly driven by a $198 million decrease in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses in comparison to 2022.
    • Results for the year ended December 31, 2023 were driven by favorable development of $200 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of continued favorable claim settlements, most notably in the 2018, 2019 and 2021 acquisition years. We also had favorable development of $68 million on our property line of business relating to the 2022 acquisition year as a result of continued favorable claims experience; partially offset by
    • Adverse development on our general casualty line of business of $127 million, most notably impacting the 2019 and 2020 acquisition years, driven by increased average incurred losses in comparison to IBNR reserve assumptions.
    • Results for the year ended December 31, 2022 were driven by favorable development of $318 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claim settlements, most notably in the 2017 to 2021 acquisition years. We also had favorable development of $56 million on our marine, aviation and transit lines of business relating to the 2014, 2018 and 2019 acquisition years as a result of favorable experience across a variety of claim types; partially offset by
    • Adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business of $57 million and $74 million, respectively, most notably impacting the 2020 acquisition year, as a result of worse than expected claims experience, adverse development on claims and higher than expected claims severity.
  • An increase in general and administrative expenses of $34 million, primarily driven by an increase in salaries and benefits expenses and professional fees; and
  • Reductions in current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs that were greater than our reductions in net premiums earned, following our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020.

2022 versus 2021: Net income from our Run-off segment increased by $122 million, primarily due to:

  • A $148 million increase in favorable PPD, mainly driven by a $78 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses in comparison to 2021.
    • As described above, results for the year ended December 31, 2022 were driven by favorable development on our workers’ compensation and marine, aviation and transit lines of business, partially offset by adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business.
    • Results for the year ended December 31, 2021 were primarily related to favorable development on our workers’ compensation, property and marine, aviation and transit lines of business as a result of better than expected claims experience and favorable results from actuarial reviews, partially offset by adverse development on our general casualty line of business due to an increase in opioid exposure and increased expectations of latent claims and a lengthening of the payment pattern related to our 2019 acquisition year.
  • A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $45 million, primarily driven by a continued decrease in salaries and benefits and other costs following our exit of our StarStone business beginning in 2020 and a reduction in IT costs as a result of reduced project activity; partially offset by
  • A reduction in other income of $51 million, primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to our defendant A&E liabilities; and
  • Reductions in current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs that were less than our reductions in net premiums earned, following our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020.

Overall Results

2023 versus 2022: Net income from our Investments segment was $1.1 billion compared to a net loss of $1.3 billion in 2022. The favorable movement of $2.4 billion was primarily due to:

  • Net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed income securities of $66 million, driven by a decline in interest rates and tightening of investment grade credit spreads, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $1.2 billion in 2022, primarily due to a significant increase in interest rates and widening of investment grade credit spreads;
  • Net unrealized gains on our other investments, including equities, of $397 million, in comparison to losses of $433 million in 2022. The favorable variance of $830 million was primarily driven by:
    • Net gains for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by our public equities, private equity funds, private credit funds, CLO equities, fixed income funds, hedge funds and infrastructure funds, largely as a result of strong global equity market performance and tightening of high yield and leveraged loan credit spreads; in comparison to
    • Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by our public equities, fixed income funds, hedge funds and CLO equities, largely as a result of global equity market declines and widening of high yield and loan credit spreads;
  • Income from equity method investments of $13 million, in comparison to losses of $74 million in 2022. This was primarily due to income on our investments in Core Specialty and Citco, which included a gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 following our decision to divest our equity interest in Citco, partially offset by losses on our investment in Monument Re during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to losses on our investments in Monument Re and Core Specialty in 2022; and
  • An increase in our net investment income of $202 million, which is primarily due to the reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields, deployment of consideration received from LPT and insurance contract transactions 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 2023 that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments generated increased net investment income of $89 million, which equates to an increase of 246 basis points on those investments in comparison to 2022.

2022 versus 2021: Net loss from our Investments segment was $1.3 billion compared to net income of $485 million in 2021. The unfavorable movement of $1.8 billion was primarily due to:

  • An increase in net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed income securities of $964 million, driven by rising interest rates and widening of investment grade credit spreads in 2022;
  • Net unrealized losses on our other investments, including equities, of $433 million in 2022, in comparison to net realized and unrealized gains of $327 million in 2021. The unfavorable variance of $760 million was primarily driven by negative performance from our public equities, fixed income funds, CLO equities and hedge funds in 2022 as a result of significant volatility in global equity markets and widening of high yield and leveraged loan credit spreads; and
  • Losses from equity method investments of $74 million, in comparison to income of $93 million in 2021, primarily due to losses on our investments in Monument Re and Core Specialty in 2022 and our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021. Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in income from equity method investments. Our consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $235 million which compared to $82 million from Enhanzed Re that was included in equity method investment income in 2021; partially offset by
  • An increase in our net investment income of $136 million, which is primarily due to the investment of new premium and reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields and the impact of rising interest rates on the $2.9 billion of our average fixed maturities outstanding during the period that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments generated increased net investment income of $59 million, which equates to an increase of 195 basis points on those investments in comparison to 2021.

Total investment losses on the fixed maturities that supported our Enhanzed Re life reinsurance (prior to the novation) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $304 million and $17 million, respectively.

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
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 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 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:
-net realized and unrealized (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:
-net unrealized gains (losses) 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(2); as such, the results were 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 prior exposure to active property catastrophe business; as this business was not in run-off, the results were 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.

Adjusted prior period development
(numerator)
 Prior period net incurred losses and LAE, adjusted to:
Remove:
-Legacy Underwriting and Assumed Life 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 and Assumed Life 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:
-net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities 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
-net unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities, trading
 

(1) Comprises the discount rate and risk margin components.

(2) The reinsurance contractual arrangements (including the Capacity Lease Agreement) were settled during the second quarter of 2023. As a result of the settlement, we did not record any transactions in the Legacy Underwriting segment in 2023.
