HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enstar Group Limited (Nasdaq: ESGR) today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024.

Merger and Financial Results Audio Update:

     

As previously announced, Enstar has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by a consortium of institutional investors led by Sixth Street for $5.1 billion or $338 per ordinary share. A copy of the press release can be found by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Enstar corporate website at EnstarGroup.com. In light of the announced transaction, Enstar will not be providing recorded commentary to accompany its June 30, 2024 financial results.

President’s Departure:

     

Enstar also announced today that President, Orla Gregory, will step down at the end of the year. Ms. Gregory has been a pivotal leader at Enstar, contributing significantly to the Company’s growth and success over her 21-year tenure, and serving in senior executive leadership roles since 2015. She will focus on leading the Company’s preparations for closing the merger and its transition to a privately held business, as well as continuing to serve as a director and executive leadership team member until December 31, 2024.

Mr. Silvester said: “Orla has spent her career in dedicated service to Enstar. She is a dynamic executive who has contributed massively to the strong leadership, culture, and brand built at Enstar. We are appreciative that she will be involved in transitioning us into our next chapter. We will miss Orla tremendously.”

Ms. Gregory said: “I am very proud of the achievements by so many during my time at Enstar. With great leadership in place, and significant opportunities in the legacy space, I have no doubt that Enstar will continue to excel. Today’s transaction is an exciting evolution, and I look forward to working with the team in preparation for closing. I thank Dominic for the great opportunities I’ve had and all of my colleagues for their dedication and support.”

Transactions:

     

During the second quarter 2024, we:

  • Announced $400 million Loss Portfolio Transfer (“LPT”) agreement with SiriusPoint to reinsure a portfolio of workers’ compensation business covering underwriting years 2018 to 2023.
  • Signed an agreement to reinsure certain 2019 and 2020 business written by a third-party capital platform for which Enstar will receive a premium of $350m for the portfolio, which marks our first ever deal in ILS and the first solution of its type in this market. This deal closed on July 25, 2024.
  • Entered into an adverse development cover (“ADC”) agreement with Insurance Australia Group, where Enstar will provide approximately $430 million of excess cover over approximately $1.7 billion of underlying reserves related to certain long-tail insurance business, including product & public liability, compulsory third-party motor, professional risks and workers’ compensation.
  • Completed a $297 million transaction to reinsure legacy business with Accredited, in connection with Accredited’s acquisition by Onex Partners.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Highlights:

     
  • Net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $126 million, or $8.49 per diluted ordinary share, compared to $21 million, or $1.34 per diluted ordinary share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
  • Return on equity ("ROE") of 2.5% and Adjusted ROE* of 2.9% for the quarter compared to ROE and Adjusted ROE* of 0.5% and 2.1%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023. Quarter-over-quarter ROE performance was positively impacted by an increase in the gain from fair value changes in trading securities, funds held and other investments and favorable prior period loss development (“PPD”). Second quarter 2024 Adjusted ROE* excludes $35 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 $62 million for the quarter relative to the comparative quarter RLE of $10 million was driven by favorable loss development on our construction defect line of business after assuming active claims management, as well as our professional indemnity/directors and officers line of business.
  • Annualized total investment return (“TIR”) of 5.2% and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 5.6% for the quarter compared to Annualized TIR and Annualized Adjusted TIR* of 3.0% and 5.1%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. TIR in the second quarter of 2024 benefited from the fact that interest rates increased by less during the period relative to the second quarter of 2023, resulting in reduced losses from fair value changes in fixed income securities and funds held. Quarter-over-quarter TIR performance was also positively impacted by increased gains from fair value changes in other investments, including equities, partially offset by a loss from equity method investments.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Highlights:

 
  • Net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $245 million, or $16.49 per diluted ordinary share. In comparison, net income attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders of $445 million, or $27.19 per diluted ordinary share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which includes the one-time Enstar's share of gain on novation of $194 million of our closed block reinsurance of life annuity policies in Enhanzed Re.
  • ROE of 4.9% and Adjusted ROE* of 5.6%, compared to 10.0% and 8.6%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 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. Period-over-period ROE performance was also impacted by a decline in the gain from fair value changes in trading securities, funds held and other investments and losses from equity method investments. This is partially offset by an increase in favorable prior period loss development. Year-to-date second quarter 2024 Adjusted ROE* also excludes $60 million of net realized losses on our fixed maturities and fair value changes in trading securities and funds held.
  • RLE of $86 million was driven by favorable loss development on our construction defect line of business after assuming active claims management, as well as our asbestos and professional indemnity/directors and officers lines of business, partially offset by adverse loss development on our environmental and general casualty lines of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, RLE of $20 million was positively impacted by favorable loss development in our workers’ compensation and general casualty line of business. The favorable results in 2023 were partially offset by an increase in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option and an increase in the unallocated loss adjustment expenses (“ULAE”) provision as a result of assuming active claims management control.
  • Annualized TIR of 5.0% and Adjusted Annualized TIR* of 5.6%, compared to 6.1% and 5.6%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. TIR was negatively impacted by increased losses from fair value changes on trading securities and funds held as a result of comparatively more significant increases in interest rates in the U.S. in the first half of 2024 than in the prior period. Period-over-period TIR was also impacted by losses from equity method investments, partially offset by increases in the fair value of other investments.
  • In March 2024, 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.

Overall Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 versus 2023: Net income from our Run-off segment was $19 million compared to net loss of $34 million in the comparative quarter, primarily due to:

  • A $56 million increase in favorable PPD in the current quarter, mainly driven by a $34 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses and a $22 million release of ULAE provisions.
    • During the second quarter of 2024, we recognized favorable loss development on our construction defect and professional indemnity/directors and officers lines of business of $24 million and $12 million, respectively, driven by favorable claims experience.
    • In comparison, during the second quarter of 2023 we recognized favorable loss development of $9 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of favorable claims experience, most notably in the 2021 acquisition year. We also increased our ULAE provision by $21 million as a result of assuming active claims control on the 2022 LPT agreement with Argo, which offset other ULAE reserve adjustments from our run-off operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 versus 2023: Net income from our Run-off segment was $8 million compared to net loss of $39 million in the comparative period, primarily due to:

  • A $46 million increase in favorable PPD, mainly driven by a $25 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses and a $21 million increase in the release of ULAE provisions relative to the comparative period.
    • During the first half of 2024, PPD was driven by favorable loss development across multiple lines of business. We recognized $41 million and $22 million of favorable loss development on our professional indemnity/directors and officers and construction defect line of business, respectively, as a result of favorable claims experience, as well as $25 million of favorable loss development on our asbestos line of business resulting from actuarial analysis. This was partially offset by adverse loss development on our general casualty line of business of $17 million, driven by adverse claims experience and adverse loss development on our environmental line of business of $25 million due to results from actuarial reviews during the period.
    • In comparison, in the first half of 2023, we recognized favorable loss development of $20 million on our workers’ compensation line of business as a result of continued favorable claims experience, most notably in the 2021 acquisition year.

Overall Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 versus 2023: Net income from our Investments segment was $214 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $149 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $65 million was primarily due to:

  • an increase in the gain from fair value changes in other investments, including equities of $50 million, primarily driven by a favorable variance in relation to an embedded derivative related to the assets supporting one of our LPTs and increases in the gains for our CLO equities, hedge funds, private equity funds, privately held equities and infrastructure. This is partially offset by decreases in the gain from publicly traded equities, fixed income funds, and real estate; and
  • a decrease in the aggregate of net realized losses and losses from fair value changes in trading securities and funds held of $54 million, primarily as a result of moderating increases in interest rates across U.S., U.K. and European markets in the current period, relative to the comparative quarter. This is partially offset by;
  • a decrease in our net investment income of $17 million due to an overall reduction in investments and funds held assets as a result of claims payments which outpaced new business relative to the periods and an increase in investment expenses primarily due to increased performance fees; and
  • a loss from equity method investments of $8 million for the current quarter compared to $14 million income in the comparative quarter as a result of increased losses on our investment in Monument Re.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 versus 2023: Net income from our Investments segment was $438 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $493 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $55 million was primarily due to:

  • an increase in the aggregate of net realized losses and losses from fair value changes in trading securities and funds held of $12 million, primarily as a result of comparatively more significant increase in interest rates in the U.S., as well as comparatively less significant tightening credit spreads;
  • a loss from equity method investments of $13 million for the current period compared to $25 million income in the comparative period as a result of increased losses on our investment in Monument Re, partially offset by an increase in income on our investment in Core Specialty; and
  • a decrease in our net investment income of $13 million, which is primarily due reductions in our investments and funds held assets as a result of claims payments which outpaced new business, less dividend income earned on our publicly traded equities and increased investment expenses primarily due to increased performance fees; partially offset by;
  • an increase in the gain on fair value changes from other investments, including equities, of $7 million, primarily driven by our privately held equities, CLO equities, hedge funds, and private equity funds relative to the comparative period, partially offset by decreased gains on publicly traded equities, private debt, and real estate, and an unfavorable variance in relation to an embedded derivative related to the assets supporting one of our LPTs.

Effective January 1, 2024, Assumed Life and Legacy Underwriting were determined to no longer meet the definition of reportable segments and their residual income and loss activities were prospectively included in Corporate and other activities. Activities prior to January 1, 2024 are recorded in their respective segments. In addition, Legacy Underwriting had no revenue or income activity for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and therefore is excluded from the table above.

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
(numerator)
 Adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders divided by adjusted opening Enstar ordinary shareholder's equity



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
 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.
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)

 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 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
 

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

(2) As of January 1, 2024, Legacy Underwriting is no longer a reportable segment as it no longer engages in any active business.

(3) The reinsurance contractual arrangements (including the Capacity Lease Agreement) were settled during the second quarter of 2023. Other than the settlement of these arrangements, we did not record any other transactions in the Legacy Underwriting segment in 2023.
