Enstar Group Limited Reports First Quarter Results
05/05/2022 - 04:43 PM
Net Loss of $282 million and Return on Equity of (5.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven by unrealized losses on fixed income securities in the rising interest rate environment Book Value per Ordinary Share and Adjusted Book Value per Ordinary Share* of $286.51 and $282.10 , respectively, as of March 31, 2022, a decline of 9.4% and 9.2% , respectively, from December 31, 2021 Returned $42 million to shareholders through share repurchases at a weighted average discount to book value of 18.6% HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enstar Group Limited (Nasdaq: ESGR) filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC earlier today, reporting a net loss of $282 million and return on equity of (5.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Commenting on the Company’s results, Enstar CEO Dominic Silvester said:
"We started the year by signing one of our largest ever loss portfolio transactions and completing another successful debt raise at competitive rates, while our financial results in the first quarter reflect rising interest rates and economic uncertainty.
We remain focused on delivering long-term value and are well positioned to maintain our momentum during these volatile times."
First quarter results included:
Net loss of $282 million , compared to net earnings of $183 million for first quarter 2021. Net loss of $16.04 per diluted ordinary share, compared to net earnings of $8.38 per diluted ordinary share for the comparative quarter. Return on equity ("ROE") of (5.0)% and Adjusted ROE* of (1.4)% compared to 3.0% and 5.4% , respectively, in the first quarter 2021. Our ROE was impacted by unrealized losses from the impact of interest rate increases on fixed maturity portfolios that we classify as trading combined with unrealized losses in our non-core portfolios. Annualized run-off liability earnings ("RLE") of 5.1% and Annualized Adjusted RLE* of 0.0% , compared to 5.0% and 1.2% , respectively, in the first quarter 2021. Our RLE 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 (6.1)% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 0.5% , compared to 3.6% and 8.4% , respectively, in the first quarter 2021. Our recognized investment results were impacted by the combination of interest rate increases and equity market declines. *Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Operational Highlights
On January 10, 2022 we entered into a transaction with Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited ("Aspen") to assume $3.1 billion of net loss reserves in a loss portfolio transfer ("LPT") transaction, subject to a limit of $3.6 billion . As a result of an existing ADC between Aspen and us that will be absorbed by this transaction, we will assume an incremental $2.4 billion of net loss reserves with a diverse mix of property, liability and specialty lines of business, in exchange for incremental premium of $2.4 billion 1 , and assume claims control. This transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022. Following the redemption and subsequent liquidation of the InRe Fund L.P. (the “InRe Fund”) in 2021, we have invested or committed the remaining proceeds into liquid and illiquid non-core assets in accordance with our strategic asset allocation. For certain illiquid asset classes such as private equity, real estate equity and infrastructure equity, funds have been committed to the appointed manager. For these illiquid asset classes, our manager is deploying funds into liquid non-core asset classes while implementing a plan to rotate these investments into illiquid asset classes over time. We expect this rotation will be complete over the medium term. We took advantage of January's strong capital markets, raising $500 million of junior subordinated debt at 5.5% and used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the remaining $280 million aggregate principal amount of our 2022 senior notes at their March 2022 maturity. We also returned an additional $42 million to our shareholders through share repurchases in the first quarter of 2022. As part of our strategic review of Enhanzed Re, we evaluated the current marketplace offerings and the strategic position of Enhanzed Re to take advantage of future opportunities and have concluded that we will not be seeking new life business portfolios for the Enhanzed Re platform. We made progress on our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") strategy. In the first quarter of 2022, we published our inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report, a Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) Report and a Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) Report. We also announced a partnership with two U.K.-based women’s sports teams as part of our commitment to championing diversity and equality for women. Our ESG strategy remains focused on addressing climate change, sustainable investing, and developing our human capital. We believe that our achievements to date, in addition to our ongoing and future priorities, will benefit the communities we have a presence in and are an investment in our long-term value. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to volatility in global commodity markets, most notably the energy market, as well as the loss of insured property in Ukraine and Russia. We have performed a review of potential exposures in our investment portfolio, our underwriting risks, and our acquisition pipeline, and considered operational disruption, and have concluded that there are no significant direct impacts from this event at this time. We continue to monitor for changes to sanctioned individuals and organizations and update our procedures accordingly. We have published the "First Quarter Earnings Review" audio presentation with our Acting Chief Financial Officer, Orla Gregory, which contains expanded commentary on first quarter results and other business updates, and is available to listen to on the Investor Relations section of Enstar's website. _______________ 1 The amount of net loss reserves assumed, as well as the premium and limit amounts provided in the LPT agreement, will be adjusted for claims paid between October 1, 2021 and the closing date of the transaction pursuant to terms of the contract.

Results of Operations by Segment - For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Run-off Segment
The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for our Run-off segment.

NM - Not meaningful, we define NM as changes greater than or equal to +/- 300% .
Our Run-off segment net earnings decreased by $14 million , primarily due to:
Decreases in net premiums earned of $56 million , which was largely offset by decreases in current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs of $33 million and $21 million , respectively. The reduction in each of these amounts was driven by reduced levels of activity arising from our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020. A reduction in other income of $12 million primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to our defendant A&E liabilities in the current quarter; and An increase in general and administrative expenses of $11 million ; partially offset by An $11 million increase in favorable prior period development in the current quarter driven by: An increase in the reduction in provisions for ULAE of $7 million ; and A $4 million increase in favorable prior period development compared to the comparative quarter, driven by a $23 million increase in favorable development on the workers’ compensation line of business resulting from favorable actual claims experience compared to expected claims trends, partially offset by a $16 million increase in adverse development on our property line of business due to unfavorable loss emergence relating to construction risks.

Segment net loss from our Investments segment was $314 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to segment net earnings of $156 million for the same period in 2021, an unfavorable change of $470 million primarily due to:
net realized and unrealized losses of $328 million on our fixed income securities, driven by rising interest rates and widening credit spreads, an increase of $123 million from the comparative period; net realized and unrealized losses of $84 million on our other investments, including equities, in comparison to net realized and unrealized gains of $185 million in the comparative period, primarily driven by underperformance of our fixed income funds, public equities, hedge funds and CLO equities as a result significant volatility in global equity markets and widening high yield credit spreads, 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 $87 million decrease in earnings from equity method investments largely due to our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021 (consolidated net earnings from Enhanzed Re business, inclusive of investment results, corporate allocations and the effect of noncontrolling interests were $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022). Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments. Income and Earnings by Segment - For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022, and 2021

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 annual 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.
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 equity awards granted but not yet vested as, over the long term, this presents a prudent view of our book value per share. We use this non-GAAP measure in our annual 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 valuable and consistent measure of the performance of our business, and enhances comparisons to prior periods: by adjusting investment returns for the temporary impact of the change in fair value of fixed maturity securities (both credit spreads and interest rates) which we hold until the earlier of maturity or used to fund any settlement of related liabilities which are generally recorded at cost; by removing the impact of non-cash charges that obscure our trends on a consistent basis; and by removing items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations; We use this non-GAAP measure in our annual incentive compensation program. 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 considered to be a non-cash charge and not indicative of our operating results. 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 interest 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. Adjusts investment returns for the temporary impact of the change in fair value of fixed maturity securities (both credit spreads and interest rates) which we hold 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 measurement of our claims management performance. We use this measure to evaluate our ability to settle our 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 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, both of which are included in net incurred losses and LAE and have an inverse effect on our results. We also include our performance in managing our defendant A&E liabilities, that do not form part of loss reserves. The remaining components of net incurred losses and LAE and net loss reserves are not considered key components of our claims performance as they are either not non-life run-off in nature, or are considered to be 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 Enhanzed Re 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 Enhanzed Re 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.
