HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MHLD) (“Maiden” or “the Company”) today reported a second quarter 2017 net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $22.4 million or $0.26 per diluted common share compared to net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $30.9 million or $0.39 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2016. The non-GAAP operating loss(1) was $12.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share compared with non-GAAP operating earnings of $28.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2016.
Commenting on the results, Art Raschbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Maiden stated, “The emergence of adverse loss development in both of our key operating segments has impacted our second quarter 2017 results. We do not believe that the development observed in the quarter is analogous to the trend observed across our portfolio over recent quarters which specifically emanated from elevated commercial auto liability frequency and severity from the 2011-2014 underwriting years, a phenomenon which has plagued many in the industry. While the AmTrust Reinsurance segment adverse development is relatively modest in the context of the overall historical portfolio assumed, as we have committed to in the past, it is our practice to respond to confirmed adverse development promptly. In response to observed elevated claims activity which we noted in our first quarter earnings call, Maiden’s audit activity has confirmed claims operational changes in AmTrust’s U.S. small commercial lines business which are believed to have contributed to a portion of the increased emergence in related casualty lines. We have however increased our reserves in these lines in the quarter in response to elevated severity in specific jurisdictions.
“In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, adverse development was observed in the segment’s casualty facultative business and from a small number of treaty accounts. Despite the adverse development in the quarter, year-to-date treaty commercial auto which has been the source of significant development over many recent quarters, has been benign, giving us increasing comfort that we have addressed this issue. In the quarter, Maiden also experienced elevated non-cat property loss activity in its Diversified Reinsurance segment. As we have observed in prior quarters, the most recent underwriting years continue to perform within expectations. Despite the underwriting results, we did benefit from strong investment income, up 14.7% from the prior year period driven by increased investable assets. Absent adverse development, this will improve both return on equity and operating results in future quarters.”

| (1) Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders excluding realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, foreign exchange and other gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, divested excess and surplus business and NGHC run-off, accelerated amortization of senior note issuance cost and non-cash deferred tax expense and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. 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. | |||||||
| (2) Non-GAAP income from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income attributable to Maiden excluding foreign exchange and other gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, interest and amortization expenses, accelerated amortization of senior note issuance cost, income tax expense and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. The Company’s management believes that non-GAAP 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 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 income from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. | |||||||
| (3) Investable assets is the total of the Company’s investments, cash and cash equivalents and loan to a related party. | |||||||
| (4) 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. |
|||||||
| (5) Total capital resources is the sum of the Company’s principal amount of debt and Maiden shareholders’ equity. | |||||||
| (6) Dividends on preference shares consist of $3,094 and $6,188 paid to Preference shares – Series A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,939 paid to Preference shares – Series C for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $5,878 and $6,532 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It also includes $2,990 and $5,980 paid to Preference Shares – Series B during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. On September 15, 2016, each of then outstanding Preference share – Series B were automatically converted into 12,069,090 of the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of 3.6573 per preference share. |
|||||||
| (7) 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. | |||||||
| (8) 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. | |||||||
| (9) Calculated by dividing net loss and LAE by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |||||||
| (10) Calculated by dividing commission and other acquisition expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |||||||
| (11) Calculated by dividing general and administrative expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. | |||||||
| (12) Calculated by adding together the commission and other acquisition expense ratio and general and administrative expense ratio. | |||||||
| (13) Calculated by adding together the net loss and LAE ratio and the expense ratio. | |||||||
