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:
* Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Dominic Silvester, Enstar CEO, said:
“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.”

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' equityDivided byNumber 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:
| ||
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:
| ||
Adjusted prior period development(numerator) | Prior period net incurred losses and LAE, adjusted to: Remove:-Legacy Underwritingand Assumed Lifeoperations -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 Underwritingand Assumed Lifenet 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)andAdd:-net nominal defendant asbestos and environmental exposures. |
(1) Comprises the discount rate and risk margin components.
(2) As described in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
