PEMBROKE, Bermuda, Nov. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MHLD) (“Maiden” or “the Company”) today reported third quarter 2018 net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $308.8 million or $3.72 per diluted common share compared to a net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $63.6 million or $0.74 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2017. The non-GAAP operating loss (11) was $235.1 million, or $2.83 per diluted common share compared with a non-GAAP operating loss of $54.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2017.
Loss Portfolio Transfer
The Company also announced that it has signed an agreement with Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”) by which one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries will enter into a retrocession agreement to effect a loss portfolio transfer in which the Enstar entity would assume loss reserves of approximately $2.675 billion associated with quota share reinsurance contracts that Maiden’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Maiden Reinsurance Ltd., (“Maiden Bermuda”) has with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. or its subsidiaries (“AmTrust”). The retrocession will apply to losses arising and/or claims made on or prior to June 30, 2018, and loss reserves assumed will be subject to adjustment for paid losses since such date. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
Both of the Company’s current quota share reinsurance contracts with AmTrust remain in-force. As previously disclosed, the Company and AmTrust have mutually agreed to extend the notice period of non-renewal for the current Master Agreement until January 31, 2019.
Commenting on the Company’s results and announced transaction with Enstar, Maiden’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence F. Metz said, “Since late August, we have witnessed significant progress in the execution of the Company’s strategic review and our announcement today with Enstar materially advances our work and significantly strengthens our financial position. During that time, we announced the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. to Enstar for net proceeds of $307.5 million subject to closing adjustments, executed a Renewal Rights Agreement with Transatlantic Reinsurance Company for net proceeds of $7.5 million and subject to further increases, and sold our U.S. casualty facultative reinsurance team to Sompo Group. While there is still work to do, we believe that much has been accomplished, and we remain committed to completing our strategic review process and to taking the actions necessary to further enhance value to all our shareholders.”
Patrick J. Haveron, Maiden’s Chief Financial and Operating Officer added, “During the third quarter, we also took the opportunity to materially strengthen our carried loss reserves and position Maiden for profitable future results. Our announcement today with Enstar brings additional certainty and finality to the steps we have taken. Upon completion of all of the strategic transactions announced since August, Maiden’s capital position will be dramatically stronger. These measures will afford us significant flexibility to manage our capital to further increase shareholder value and combined with the significant and on-going expense reduction implemented in the third quarter, we anticipate an improved outlook for Maiden as 2018 heads to its final quarter and into 2019.”
Consolidated Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2018
In the third quarter of 2018, gross premiums written increased to $484.5 million from $443.0 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Net premiums earned were $520.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $457.3 million in the third quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 13.7%.
In the third quarter of 2018, net loss and loss adjustment expenses increased to $600.3 million compared to $370.8 million in the third quarter of 2017 due primarily to higher adverse prior year loss development for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment which was $210.4 million for the third quarter of 2018.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 totaled $18.9 million compared to $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in compensation benefits paid, greater corporate insurance costs incurred and higher technology-related expenses.

Reportable Segments
As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of the Company’s U.S. treaty reinsurance operations, the Company has revised the composition of its reportable segments to include: (i) Diversified Reinsurance which consists of a portfolio of property and casualty reinsurance focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe; and (ii) AmTrust Reinsurance which includes all business ceded to our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Bermuda, from AmTrust and its subsidiaries (primarily the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share).

Gross premiums written and net premiums written increased by 37.9% and 39.2%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to new account growth and expansion of client relationships in our European capital solutions business and growth in German auto programs. Net premiums earned increased by 37.6% in the third quarter of 2018 driven by new client development and favorable growth in the German auto program. The net loss and LAE ratio increased by 4.8 points compared to the same period in 2017 due to higher initial loss ratios on current year premiums earned during the period partially offset by lower adverse prior year loss development which was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2017. The segment’s combined ratio increased by 1.5 points to 107.6% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 106.1% in the same period last year due primarily to higher initial loss ratios on current year premiums earned during the period partially offset by lower adverse prior year loss development.

Gross premiums written and net premiums written increased 7.8% and 10.1%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2018 generated by growth in the Specialty lines of business partially offset by reductions in Small Commercial Business. Net premiums earned in the segment increased by 12.6% compared to the same period in 2017 mainly due to the growth in net premiums written in the Specialty lines of the AmTrust quota share. The Net loss and LAE ratio increased by 36.5 points due to higher adverse prior year loss development which was $210.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $61.1 million for the same period in 2017. The 2018 development was largely from Workers Compensation, which represented nearly half of the adverse development, and was primarily driven by accident years 2014 to 2017, and to a lesser extent, development in European hospital liability, Commercial Auto and General Liability. This compares to $61.1 million of adverse development for the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to Worker’s Compensation, General liability as well as Commercial Auto liability lines for both Specialty Programs and Small Commercial Business where elevated loss activity had been observed. The segment combined ratio increased by 37.1 points to 150.4% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 113.3% in the same period in 2017 primarily due to higher adverse prior year loss development and higher initial loss ratios for current year premiums earned as well as elevated actual current year activity in the Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty lines.

The net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders was $301.0 million or $3.62 per diluted common share in the first nine months of 2018 compared to a net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $65.5 million or $0.76 per diluted common share in the first nine months of 2017.

The segment’s net loss and LAE ratio decreased by 2.5 points due to lower adverse prior year loss development of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2017. The 2018 development was due to adverse facultative reinsurance run-off partially offset by favorable development in International Auto. The development in 2017 was primarily due to adverse development in facultative reinsurance run-off lines as well as claims activity in International auto programs. The segment’s combined ratio decreased by 5.2 points to 103.3% for the first nine months of 2018 compared to 108.5% in 2017 primarily due to lower net adverse development compared to the same period in 2017.

Gross premiums written and net premiums written decreased by 3.6% and 0.8%, respectively, during the first nine months of 2018 which mainly reflects reductions in the Small Commercial Business lines combined with growth in Specialty Program, Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty. Net premiums earned in the segment increased by 0.5% compared to the same period in 2017 mainly due to growth in net premiums written on the Specialty lines within the AmTrust quota share. The Net loss and LAE ratio increased by 14.9 points due higher adverse prior year loss development of $247.3 million for the first nine months of 2018 largely from Workers Compensation and European Hospital liability, with a smaller contribution from General and Commercial Auto liability. This compares to adverse prior year loss development of $100.9 million for the first nine months of 2017 which was primarily related to General liability as well as Auto liability and Workers Compensation lines for both Specialty Programs and Small Commercial Business. The segment combined ratio increased by 15.0 points to 119.4% in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 104.4% in the same period in 2017 primarily due to a higher amount of adverse prior year loss development.

| (1) | Book value per common share is calculated using Maiden common shareholders’ equity (shareholders' equity excluding the aggregate liquidation value of our preference shares) divided by the number of common shares outstanding. | |
| (2) | Non-GAAP (loss) income from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income (loss) attributable to Maiden excluding foreign exchange and other gains and losses, interest and amortization expenses, accelerated amortization of senior note issuance cost, income tax (benefit) expense, loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss). The Company’s management believes that non-GAAP (loss) income from operations is a useful measure of the Company’s underlying earnings fundamentals based on its underwriting and investment income before financing costs. This (loss) income from operations enables readers of this information to more clearly understand the essential operating results of the Company. The Company’s measure of non-GAAP (loss) income from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. | |
| (3) | Dividends on preference shares consist of $3,094 and $9,282 paid to Preference shares - Series A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, $2,938 and $8,816 paid to Preference shares - Series C for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, $2,513 paid to Preference shares - Series D for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $7,538 and $2,513 paid to Preference shares - Series D for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. | |
| (4) | Underwriting related general and administrative expenses is a non-GAAP measure and includes expenses which are segregated for analytical purposes as a component of underwriting income. | |
| (5) | Underwriting (loss) income is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net premiums earned plus other insurance revenue less net loss and LAE, commission and other acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses directly related to underwriting activities. Management believes that this measure is important in evaluating the underwriting performance of the Company and its segments. This measure is also a useful tool to measure the profitability of the Company separately from the investment results and is also a widely used performance indicator in the insurance industry. | |
| (6) | Calculated by dividing net loss and LAE by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |
| (7) | Calculated by dividing commission and other acquisition expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |
| (8) | Calculated by dividing general and administrative expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |
| (9) | Calculated by adding together the commission and other acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio. | |
| (10) | Calculated by adding together the net loss and LAE ratio and the expense ratio. | |
| (11) | Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net (loss) income attributable to Maiden common shareholders excluding realized investment gains and losses, total other-than-temporary impairment losses, foreign exchange and other gains and losses, loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, divested NGHC Quota Share run-off and accelerated amortization of senior note issuance cost and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss). The Company's management believes that non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings is a useful indicator of trends in the Company's underlying operations. The Company's measure of non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. | |
| (12) | Non-GAAP operating return on average common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses non-GAAP operating return on average common shareholders' equity as a measure of profitability that focuses on the return to Maiden common shareholders. It is calculated using non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings attributable to Maiden common shareholders divided by average Maiden common shareholders' equity. | |
| (13) | Investable assets is the total of the Company's investments, cash and cash equivalents and loan to a related party. | |
| (14) | Total capital resources is the sum of the Company's principal amount of debt and Maiden shareholders' equity. | |
| (15) | During a period of loss, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computation as the effect of including potential dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive. |
