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.
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 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 retuon 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:
•we typically hold most of our fixed income securities 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.
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 earnings 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 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, and
-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 retu(%) | Adjusted total investment retu(dollars) recognized in earnings for the applicable period divided by period average adjusted total investable assets. | Provides a key measure of the retugenerated 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 income 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 retu($) (numerator)
|
Total investment retu(dollars), adjusted for:
-net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities and funds held-directly managed; and
-unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities, AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification adjustments and excluding foreign exchange.
|
|
Adjusted average aggregate total investable assets (denominator)
|
Total investment retu(dollars), adjusted for:
-net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities and funds held-directly managed; and
-unrealized (gains) losses on fixed income securities, AFS included within OCI, net of reclassification adjustments and excluding foreign exchange.
|
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:
•The results of our Legacy Underwriting segment have been economically transferred to a third party primarily through use of reinsurance and a Capacity Lease Agreement(2); as such, the results are not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE, which is designed to analyze the impact of our claims management strategies;
•The results of our Assumed Life segment relate only to our exposure to active property catastrophe business; as this business is not in run-off, the results are not a relevant contribution to Adjusted RLE;
•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.
|

(numerator)
|

Remove:
-Legacy Underwriting and Assumed Life operations
-amortization of fair value adjustments,

-the reduction/(increase) in estimates of net ultimate liabilities and reduction in estimated future expenses of our defendant A&E liabilities.
|
|
