HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 03, 2022 (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 third quarter 2022 results with expanded commentary is available on Enstar's investor relations website at investor.enstargroup.com.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights:

• Net loss of $444 million, or $26.10 per diluted ordinary share, compared to $196 million, or $10.68 per diluted ordinary share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
• Return on equity ("ROE") of (10.6)% and Adjusted ROE* of (2.9)% for the quarter compared to (2.9)% and (2.8)%, respectively, in the third quarter 2021. ROE was impacted by $395 million of net unrealized losses arising primarily from interest rate increases on fixed maturity portfolios that are classified as trading, combined with $151 million of net unrealized losses in Enstar's non-core portfolios.
• Our Group regulatory solvency, or economic balance sheet, strengthened during the third quarter due to:
  • the impact of a higher discount rate on our reserves; and
  • our core fixed income securities being shorter in duration than our insurance liabilities.
• Run-off liability earnings ("RLE") of $109 million, or 3.7% were driven by reductions in the value of certain portfolios that are held at fair value and 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.
• Entered into loss portfolio transfer (“LPT”) agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo”) covering a number of its U.S. casualty insurance portfolios, including construction, for accident years 2011 to 2019. The LPT agreement covers ground up reserves of $746 million, and an additional $275 million of cover in excess of $821 million, up to a policy limit of $1.1 billion. Argo will retain a loss corridor of $75 million up to $821 million. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

Dominic Silvester, Enstar CEO, said:

“The significant rise in interest rates to combat high inflation continues to drive unrealized bond losses in our investment portfolio. However, we expect our bond portfolio to recover these unrealized losses over time as these bonds will amortize back to par or full principal value as they reach maturity.

Operationally, we are pleased with the accretive transactions signed with Argo and Probitas, as well as our robust pipeline of opportunities. These transactions further demonstrate Enstar’s ability to provide capital relief solutions to partners of varying size and jurisdictions.

Our balance sheet remains strong, and we have the capacity to meet market demand. We will continue to provide tailored solutions to our clients, drive positive claims outcomes and invest for the long term. We are confident that this focus will provide exceptional returns for our stakeholders.”

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 Highlights:

• Net loss of $1.2 billion, or $70.59 per diluted ordinary share, compared to net earnings of $365 million, or $17.53 per diluted ordinary share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
• ROE of (21.8)% and Adjusted ROE* of (7.0)%, compared to 5.9% and 7.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. ROE was impacted by unrealized losses arising from interest rate increases on fixed maturity portfolios that are classified as trading combined with unrealized losses in Enstar's non-core portfolios.
• Annualized RLE of 3.8% and Annualized Adjusted RLE* of 0.5%, compared to 2.5% and 1.4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. RLE benefited from reductions in the value of certain portfolios that are held at fair value, favorable development on our workers’ compensation, professional indemnity/directors and officers and marine, aviation and transit lines of business, and favorable results on Enstar's inactive catastrophe programs held by Enhanzed Re. RLE was impacted by adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business.
• Annualized total investment return (“TIR”) of (8.7)% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of (1.0)%, compared to 2.8% and 4.1%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Recognized investment results were impacted by the combination of interest rate increases, widening credit spreads and equity market declines.

SEGMENT NET EARNINGS	$	19			$	47			$	(28	)		$	116			$	89			$	27

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net earnings from our Run-off segment decreased by $28 million, primarily due to:

• A $25 million decrease in favorable PPD, driven by a $26 million decrease in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses.
  • Results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were driven by $54 million of favorable development on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claim settlements, most notably in the 2018 and 2019 acquisition years, and $28 million of favorable development on our marine, aviation and transit line of business as a result of lower claim activity, relating to the 2014, 2018 and 2019 acquisition years; partially offset by
  • Adverse development in the 2018, 2020 and 2021 acquisition years on our general casualty and motor lines of business of $21 million and $19 million, respectively, primarily due to worse than expected claims experience and adverse development on claims.
  • Results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily driven by favorable development on our workers’ compensation, property, construction defect and marine, aviation and transit lines as a result of better than expected claims experience and favorable results from actuarial reviews.
• A reduction in other income of $10 million, primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to our defendant A&E liabilities in comparison to the prior period; 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; partially offset by
• A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $13 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.
  
  

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net earnings from our Run-off segment increased by $27 million, primarily due to:

• A $48 million increase in favorable PPD, driven by a $44 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses.
  • Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were driven by favorable development of $104 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claim settlements, most notably in the 2018 and 2021 acquisition years. We also had favorable development of $85 million on our professional indemnity/directors and officers line of business relating to the 2018 and 2021 acquisition years and favorable development of $38 million on our marine, aviation and transit lines of business relating to the 2014, 2018 and 2019 acquisition years as a result of lower claims activity; partially offset by
  • Adverse development on our general casualty and motor lines of business of $31 million and $20 million, respectively, most notably impacting the 2018, 2020 and 2021 acquisition years, as a result of worse than expected claims experience and adverse development on claims.
  • Results for the nine months ended September 30, 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.
• A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $30 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 $29 million, primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to our defendant A&E liabilities; 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.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net loss from our Investments segment was $493 million and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net losses of $203 million and net earnings of $419 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The unfavorable movements of $290 million and $1.8 billion, respectively, were primarily due to:

• An increase in net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed income securities of $328 million and $968 million, respectively, driven by rising interest rates and widening credit spreads;
• Net realized and unrealized losses on our other investments, including equities, of $164 million and $468 million, respectively, in comparison to net losses of $187 million and net gains of $294 million, respectively, in the comparative periods, primarily driven by negative performance from our public equities, CLO equities and hedge funds as a result of significant volatility in global equity markets and widening high yield credit spreads; and
• An $89 million decrease in earnings from equity method investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, largely due to our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021 (consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re was $231 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022). Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments within the Investments segment; partially offset by:
• Increases in our net investment income of $22 million and $65 million, respectively, which is primarily due to an increase in our average aggregate fixed income assets due to new business during the past year, in addition to the investment of new premium and reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields and the impact of rising interest rates on the $2.7 billion of our fixed maturity investments that are subject to floating interest rates. Our floating rate investments generated increased net investment income of $16 million and $39 million, respectively, which equates to an increase of 257 and 165 basis points, respectively, on those investments in comparison to the prior period.

Total investment losses on the fixed income securities that support our Enhanzed Re life reinsurance business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $141 million and $269 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 investment 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.

We have presented the results and GAAP reconciliations for these measures further below. The following tables present more information on each non-GAAP measure.

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 maturity investments 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 the amortization of fair value adjustments as a non-GAAP adjustment to the adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders as it is a non-cash charge that is 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 -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 maturity 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 maturity investments and funds held-directly managed
Adjusted average aggregate total investable assets (denominator)		Total average investable assets, adjusted for: -net unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities, AFS investments included within AOCI -net unrealized (gains) losses on fixed maturities, trading instruments
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.    In order to provide a complete and consistent picture of our claims management performance, we combine:   the reduction (increase) in estimates of prior period net ultimate losses relating to our Run-off segment; with   the amortization of deferred charge assets (as the amortization will increase or decrease as a result of the periodic development in accordance with our accounting policies).   Both adjustments are included in net incurred losses and LAE.    We also include our performance in managing claims on our defendant A&E liabilities, that do not form part of loss reserves.     The remaining 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); The reduction/(increase) in provisions for ULAE are not considered directly related to the reserves and their exclusion provides alignment with our insurance contract disclosures, which is a key measure of our comparability between the acquisition years over time; and  The amortization of fair value adjustments are non-cash charges that obscure our trends on a consistent basis. 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 -the reduction/(increase) in provisions for unallocated LAE (ULAE) -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 our defendant A&E ultimate net 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 -the net ULAE provision -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 asbestos and environmental exposures.
