PRESS RELEASE

Maiden Holdings, Ltd. Announces
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Recently Completed LPT/ADC with Enstar and Additional Strategic
Transactions Materially Strengthen Capital Position
 

PEMBROKE, Bermuda, August 12, 2019 - Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ:  MHLD) ("Maiden" or the "Company") today reported a second quarter 2019 net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $15.4 million or $0.19 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $5.9 million or $0.07 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2018. The non-GAAP operating loss(11) was $22.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share compared with $18.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2018.
Maiden's book value per common share(1) was $1.51 at June 30, 2019, an increase of 39.8% from December 31, 2018.
Lawrence F. Metz, Maiden’s President and Chief Executive Officer said “Our balance sheet continued to stabilize in the second quarter, and this improvement, combined with the strategic transactions announced on August 5, further advance Maiden’s recovery. While work remains to further reduce expenses and return to operating profitability, we continue to make steps toward the objective of building shareholder value.”     
Patrick J. Haveron, Maiden’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer added, “We expect our solvency ratios to continue to improve throughout 2019 and beyond, reflecting the cumulative effect of the strategic measures we have implemented to materially strengthen our capital position. Restoring a very strong capital position remains our primary objective and we continue to evaluate how to further advance our progress.”
Strategic Transactions
On August 5, 2019, the Company announced it had entered into a series of strategic transactions which have materially improved its capital position. The transactions completed include:
A loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement (“LPT/ADC”) with Enstar Group Limited (NASDAQ: ESGR, “Enstar”) pursuant to the previously announced Master Agreement;
A $330.7 million commutation agreement (“Commutation”) of certain workers’ compensation loss reserves to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. (“AmTrust”);
Entry into a Post-Termination Endorsement with AmTrust to:
Enable operation of the LPT/ADC and supporting collateral agreements; and
Amend the program loss corridor between Maiden and AmTrust pursuant to the terminated Amended and Restated Quota Share Agreement (the “AmTrust QS Agreement”) between Maiden’s Bermuda operating company, Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. (“Maiden Bermuda”) and AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”); and
Resolution with Enstar related to balances due under the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. (“MRNA”), which closed on December 27, 2018, including cancellation of the $25 million excess of loss reinsurance contract between Maiden Bermuda and Enstar on the MRNA loss reserves included in that transaction.
Additional information regarding the strategic transactions the Company has entered into can be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing made on August 9, 2019.
 





Consolidated Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2019
Net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $15.4 million compared to a net loss of $5.9 million for the same period in 2018. The higher net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the following:
Net loss from discontinued operations of $18.7 million compared to net income from discontinued operations of $8.2 million for the same period in 2018 largely as a result of the Settlement and Commutation Agreement regarding the sale of MRNA entered into by Maiden and Enstar on July 31, 2019 which caused a non-recurring net additional loss of $16.7 million to be recognized;
Net income from continuing operations of $3.3 million compared to net loss from continuing operations of $5.5 million for the same period in 2018 largely due to the following factors:
realized gains on investment of $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to realized losses of $0.4 million for the same period in 2018;
no dividends paid to preference shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2018 as the Company's Board of Directors did not declare dividends on any of our preference shares during 2019; offset by,
an underwriting loss of $39.1 million compared to $32.0 million in the same period in 2018. The deterioration in the underwriting result was principally due to the impact of:
higher initial loss ratios on premiums earned during the period within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment (which excludes the Terminated Business (as defined in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019) under the Partial Termination Amendment);
higher ceding commission payable of $6.5 million for the remaining in-force business immediately prior to January 1, 2019 which increased by five percentage points (excluding Terminated Business) and related unearned premium as of January 1, 2019 under the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust; and
adverse prior year loss development of $26.0 million or 19.3 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 compared to adverse prior year loss development of $28.2 million or 5.6 percentage points during the same period in 2018.
In the second quarter of 2019, gross premiums written were $2.1 million, compared to $521.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the termination of both quota share contracts in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment and the return of unearned premiums on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Agreement with AmTrust. As previously reported, both terminations were effective January 1, 2019. Net premiums earned were $134.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $504.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 due to the combined impact of the terminated quota share contracts within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment and non-renewals in Maiden Bermuda's European Capital Solutions business and a reduction in the German Auto programs produced by the Company's IIS unit within its Diversified Reinsurance segment.
During the second quarter of 2019, net investment income decreased modestly to $31.1 million from $34.3 million in the second quarter of 2018 largely due to the decline in average yield to 3.1% from 3.3% in the same period in 2018. The realized gains of $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily due to sales of corporate bonds during the second quarter in anticipation of completing and funding the LPT/ADC with Enstar.
During the second quarter of 2019, net loss and loss adjustment expenses decreased to $121.6 million from $370.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily as a result of lower earned premiums within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. The second quarter of 2019 loss ratio(6) was 90.2% compared to 73.1% reported in the second quarter of 2018, which increased primarily due to a significant change in the mix of business resulting from the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust and the termination of both AmTrust quota share contracts effective January 1, 2019. Prior year adverse loss development was $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $28.2 million for the same period in 2018.
Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased to $49.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, from $162.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 due to significantly lower earned premiums resulting from the terminations in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. The commission and other acquisition expense ratio(7) increased 4.8 points to 36.9% for the second quarter of 2019 from 32.1% for the same period in 2018 as a result of the additional ceding commission agreed under the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to $12.8 million, compared to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. Non-recurring expenses were $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2019, primarily related to salaries and related benefits for headcount reductions occurring in 2019. The general and administrative expense ratio(8) in the second quarter of 2019 increased to 9.5% from 2.9% in the second quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of lower earned premiums, while the total expense ratio(9) was 46.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared with 35.0% for the same period in 2018.





As a result of the above factors, the combined ratio(10) for the second quarter of 2019 increased to 136.6%, compared with 108.1% in the second quarter of 2018.
Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $52.0 million compared to net income of $7.8 million for the same period in 2018. The net decrease in results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the following:
Net loss from discontinued operations of $22.1 million compared to net income from discontinued operations of $18.2 million for the same period in 2018 largely as a result of the Settlement and Commutation Agreement entered into by Maiden and Enstar on July 31, 2019 which caused a non-recurring net additional loss of $16.7 million to be recognized;
Net loss from continuing operations of $30.0 million compared to net income from continuing operations of $6.8 million for the same period in 2018 largely due to the following factors:
an underwriting loss of $81.9 million compared to $36.7 million in the same period in 2018. The deterioration in the underwriting result was principally due to the impact of:
higher initial loss ratios on current year premiums earned during the period within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment (which excludes the Terminated Business under the Partial Termination Amendment);
higher ceding commission payable of $14.1 million for the remaining in-force business immediately prior to January 1, 2019, which increased by five percentage points (excluding Terminated Business) and related unearned premium as of January 1, 2019 under the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust; and
adverse prior year loss development of $33.3 million or 10.5 percentage points in the first half of 2019 compared to $38.0 million or 3.7 percentage points during the same period in 2018.
The unfavorable movements in results of operations were primarily offset by the following:
No dividends paid to preference shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $17.1 million for the same period in 2018 as the Company's Board of Directors did not declare dividends on any of our preference shares during 2019; and
Realized gains on investment of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to realized losses of $0.1 million for the same period in 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, gross premiums written were $(559.0) million compared to $1.14 billion for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the termination of both quota share contracts in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment and the return of unearned premiums on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Agreement with AmTrust. As previously reported, both terminations were effective January 1, 2019. Net premiums earned were $317.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.02 billion for the same period in 2018 due to the combined impact of the terminated quota share contracts within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment as well as the reduction in the German Auto programs produced by the Company's IIS unit within its Diversified Reinsurance segment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net investment income decreased modestly to $63.1 million from $67.1 million for the same period in 2018 largely due to the decline in average yield to 3.1% from 3.3% for the same period in 2018. The realized gains of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily driven by sales of corporate bonds during the second quarter in anticipation of completing and funding the LPT/ADC with Enstar, partially offset by net investment losses realized on the non-cash transfer of corporate and other debt securities in the first quarter of 2019 related to the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust and the conversion of a portion of reinsurance trust assets held as collateral into funds withheld receivable.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net loss and loss adjustment expenses decreased to $274.3 million from $723.2 million for the same period in 2018, primarily as a result of lower earned premiums within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the loss ratio(6) was 86.1% compared to 70.4% reported for the same period in 2018, which increased primarily due to a significant change in the mix of business resulting from the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust. Prior year adverse loss development was $33.3 million for the first half of 2019, compared to $38.0 million for the same period in 2018.
Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased to $119.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $329.4 million for the same period in 2018 due to significantly lower earned premiums resulting from the terminations in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. The commission and other acquisition expense ratio(7) increased 5.4 points to 37.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 32.1% for the same period in 2018 as a result of the additional ceding commission agreed under the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased to $28.8 million, compared to $30.5 million for the same period in 2018. Non-recurring expenses were $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to salaries and related benefits for headcount reductions occurring in 2019. The general and administrative expense ratio(8) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased to 9.0% from 3.0% for the same period in 2018 as a result of lower earned





premiums, while the total expense ratio(9) was 46.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 35.1% for the same period in 2018.
As a result of the above factors, the combined ratio(10) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased to 132.6%, compared with 105.5% for the same period in 2018.

(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 income (loss) from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net loss (income) attributable to Maiden excluding foreign exchange and other gains and losses, interest and amortization expenses, income tax (benefit) expense, loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of income tax and net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss (income). The Company’s management believes that non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is a useful measure of the Company’s underlying earnings fundamentals based on its underwriting and investment income before financing costs. This income (loss) 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 income (loss) from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
(3)
Dividends on preference shares consist of $0 paid to Preference shares - Series A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $3,094 and $6,188 paid to Preference shares - Series A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, $0 paid to Preference shares - Series C for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $2,939 and $5,878 paid to Preference shares - Series C for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 paid to Preference shares - Series D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $2,513 and $5,025 paid to Preference shares - Series D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 loss.
(5)
Underwriting loss 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.
