CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of our management, as well as the markets for our securities and the insurance and reinsurance sectors in general.
Statements that include words such as "estimate," "project," "plan," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "would," "should," "could," "seek," "may" and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise.
All forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates or expectations, and not statements of historical fact, reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.
These forward looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These factors include:
•the adequacy of our loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time, including due to the impact of emerging claim and coverage issues and disputes that could impact reserve adequacy;
•our acquisitions, including our ability to evaluate opportunities, successfully price acquisitions, address operational challenges, support our planned growth and assimilate acquired portfolios and companies into our internal control system in order to maintain effective internal controls, provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud;
•increased competitive pressures, including increased competition in the market for run-off business;
•our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, including the timing, terms and conditions of any such approvals, and to satisfy other closing conditions in connection with our acquisition agreements, which could affect our ability to complete acquisitions;
•Enhanzed Re’s life and annuity business, including the performance of assets to support the liabilities, the risk of mismatch in asset/liability duration and assumptions used to estimate reserves for future policy benefits proving to be inaccurate;
•the variability of statutory capital requirements and the risk that we may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms;
•our reinsurance subsidiaries may not be able to provide the required collateral to ceding companies pursuant to their reinsurance contracts, including through the use of letters of credit;
•the availability and collectability of our ceded reinsurance;
•the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us and the resulting impact on our liquidity;
•losses due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
•climate change and its potential impact on the returns from our run-off business and our investments;
•the value of our investment portfolios and the investment income that we receive from these portfolios may decline materially as a result of market fluctuations and economic conditions, including those related to interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices;
•the effects of inflation, including its impact on our loss cost trends and operating expenses, and the effects of global economic policy responses to inflation, such as increasing interest rates and their impact on our investment portfolio;
•our ability to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs;
•our strategic investments in alternative asset classes and joint ventures, which are illiquid and may be volatile;
6
•our ability to accurately value our investments, which requires methodologies, estimates and assumptions that can be highly subjective, and the inaccuracy of which could adversely affect our financial condition;
•the complex regulatory environment in which we operate, including that ongoing or future industry regulatory developments will disrupt our business, affect the ability of our subsidiaries to operate in the ordinary course or to make distributions to us, or mandate changes in industry practices in ways that increase our costs, decrease our revenues or require us to alter aspects of the way we do business;
•loss of key personnel;
•operational risks, including cybersecurity events, external hazards, human failures or other difficulties with our information technology systems that could disrupt our business or result in the loss of critical and confidential information, increased costs;
•tax, regulatory or legal restrictions or limitations applicable to us or the (re)insurance business generally;
•changes in tax laws or regulations applicable to us or our subsidiaries, or the risk that we or one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries become subject to significant, or significantly increased, income taxes in the United States or elsewhere; and
•the ownership of our shares resulting from certain provisions of our bye-laws and our status as a Bermuda company.
The factors listed above should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the Risk Factors that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Operational highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include:
Assumed $3.1 billion of loss reserves from Run-off Transactions
•On May 20, 2022 we completed an LPT transaction with Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) with respect to $3.1 billion of net loss reserves, subject to a limit of $3.6 billion. An existing ADC between Aspen and us that closed in June 2020 was absorbed into this LPT.
•As a result of this LPT transaction, we assumed an incremental $1.9 billion of net loss reserves with a diverse mix of property, liability and specialty lines of business, in exchange for incremental premium of $1.9 billion,1 and assumed claims control.
Executed Capital Transactions

•We repurchased 697,580 voting ordinary shares during the six months ended June 30, 2022 for an aggregate $163 million, representing an average price per share of $233.92 and a weighted average discount to our net book value per ordinary share of 20.3%.

Overall Measures of Performance
BVPS and Adjusted BVPS*
BVPS and Adjusted BVPS* decreased by 22.3% and 22.4%, respectively, from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, primarily due to recognized and unrecognized investment losses of $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. |
ROE and Adjusted ROE*
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: ROE decreased by 15.8 and 23.0 pp for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to:
i.net realized and unrealized losses on other investments, including equities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net gains in the comparative periods. This contributed 9.1 and 13.2 pp to the total reduction in ROE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively;
ii.net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net gains and net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. This contributed 9.9 and 11.7 pp to the total reduction in ROE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively;
iii.a reduction in earnings from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 which contributed 1.3 pp to the total reduction in ROE for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
These negative factors were partially offset by:
iv. higher favorable PPD, which offset the reduction in ROE by 1.4 and 2.0 pp for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively; and
v. higher net investment income, which offset the reduction in ROE by 0.9 and 1.1 pp for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Adjusted ROE* decreased by 8.0 and 15.1 pp for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as it excludes the impact of net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities.
*Non-GAAP measure; refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for reconciliation to the applicable GAAP financial measure.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 11
We discuss the results of our operations by aggregating certain captions from our condensed consolidated statement of earnings, as we believe it provides a more meaningful view of our results and eliminates repetition that would arise if captions were discussed on an individual basis.
In order to facilitate discussion, we have grouped the following captions:
•Underwriting results: includes net premiums earned, net incurred losses and LAE, policyholder benefit expenses and acquisition costs.
•Investment results: includes net investment income, net realized losses, net unrealized losses and earnings from equity method investments.
•General and administrative results: includes general and administrative expenses.
Underwriting Results
Our strategy is focused on effectively managing portfolios and businesses in run-off. Although we have largely exited our active underwriting platforms, we still record net premiums earned and the associated current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs as a result of the run-off of unearned premiums from transactions completed in recent years.
Premiums earned in the Run-off segment are generally offset by the related current period net incurred losses and LAE and acquisition costs.
The components of underwriting results are as follows:

Current Period - Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
The current period underwriting results from our (re)insurance operations include net earned premiums that have been declining as we transition away from active underwriting activities.
The below charts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
The reductions in net premiums earned and current period net incurred losses and LAE were driven by reduced levels of activity arising from our exit of our active underwriting platforms beginning in 2020.
We continue to earn premium from our StarStone International business and from our Enhanzed Re segment. In comparison, our 2021 earned premium was primarily driven by StarStone International and AmTrust reinsurance to close (“RITC”) business, which was entered into in 2019.

Our Annualized RLE % was positively impacted by a reduction of $48 million in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option in the 2017 and 2018 acquisition years as a result of increases in interest rates. Annualized RLE % was also positively impacted by favorable loss activity in our professional indemnity/directors and officers and workers’ compensation lines of business, most notably in the 2021 acquisition year.

Net Investment Income
The below charts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net investment income increased primarily due to:
•an increase in our average aggregate fixed income assets of $2.1 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, due to new business during the past year;
•the reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields; and
•the impact of rising interest rates on our investments that are subject to floating interest rates.
Our annualized book yield decreased by 33 and 21 basis points, respectively, as a result of timing differences, whereby we experienced a significant increase to our average aggregate fixed income assets as of June 30, 2022 by recording $1.9 billion in funds held by reinsured companies as a result of the Aspen transaction, with net investment income only being recognized for the period from the May 20, 2022 closing of the transaction to June 30, 2022.
Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses) Gains
The below charts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net realized and unrealized losses increased relative to the prior period net realized and unrealized gains primarily due to:
•net realized and unrealized losses on fixed income securities of $409 million and $743 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net gains of $110 million and net losses of $96 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The unfavorable movements of $519 million and $647 million, respectively, were primarily driven by rising interest rates across U.S., U.K. and European markets, in addition to widening credit spreads in the current period; and
•net realized and unrealized losses on other investments, including equities, of $220 million and $304 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net gains of $296 million and $481 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The unfavorable movements of $516 million and $785 million, respectively, were primarily driven by:
◦Losses from our fixed income funds, public equities and CLO equities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, largely as a result of global equity market declines and the widening of high yield credit spreads. This was partially offset by gains on our private equity funds, private credit funds and real estate funds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which are typically recorded on a one quarter lag,
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 18
and gains on our hedge funds for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of exposure to Chinese equities; and
◦Net realized and unrealized gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which were driven by strong performance in our equities and equity funds, private equity funds, private credit funds, fixed income funds, CLO equity and CLO equity funds.
Earnings (losses) from equity method investments
The below charts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Earnings from equity method investments decreased, primarily due to our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, which resulted in us consolidating Enhanzed Re effective September 1, 2021. Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments. The consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re was $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Investable Assets
The below charts are in billions of U.S. dollars
•Investable assets decreased by 3.9% from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decline in carrying value of our fixed income securities and other investments, including equities, and due to assets used to support net paid losses, partially offset by an increase in funds held by reinsured companies as a result of the Aspen transaction. •Adjusted investable assets* increased by 2.3% from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, as a result of an increase in funds held by reinsured companies as a result of the Aspen transaction, partially offset by a decline in the carrying value of our other investments, including equities, and the impact of net paid losses. •Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.0 billion from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions to other investments, including equities. |

(3) The average credit ratings calculation includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, fixed maturity securities and the fixed maturity securities within our funds held - directly managed portfolios.
The overall decrease in the balance of our fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions from cash and cash equivalents to other investments, including equities, and the recognition of net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities as described above. Further contributing to the decrease was the use of both fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents to support net paid losses.
As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents had an average credit quality rating of A+.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our fixed income securities that were non-investment grade (i.e. rated lower than BBB- and non-rated securities) comprised 6.5% and 5.6% of our total fixed income securities portfolio, respectively. The increase in non-investment grade fixed income securities was driven by the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions to higher-yield fixed income securities in the period.
General and Administrative Expenses for the For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
The below charts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: The $10 million reduction in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by current quarter decreases in salaries and benefits due to reductions in head count and long-term incentive plan costs and decreases in professional fees, in comparison to the prior quarter.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 20
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: The $8 million decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by reductions in IT costs as a result of reduced project activity in the current period and decreases in professional fees. This was partially offset by higher salaries and benefits in the current period due to the absence of a proportional reduction in accrued performance-based costs that was recorded in the comparative period, although the impact of this was largely offset by declines in current period salaries and benefits due to reductions in head count and long-term incentive plan costs in comparison to the prior period.
New Business
We define new business as material transactions, which generally take the form of reinsurance or direct business transfers, or business acquisitions.
When we acquire new business through reinsurance or direct business transfers, the liabilities we assume typically exceed the fair value of the assets we receive. This is generally due to the future earnings expected on the assets, as well as negotiations if we believe the liabilities could potentially be reduced in the future through successful claims management.
The difference between the liabilities assumed and the assets acquired is recorded as a DCA or deferred gain, which is then amortized over the expected settlement period. As such, the performance of the new business is assessed over time by comparing the net of investment income, loss reserve development and amortization of the DCA or deferred gain.
The table below sets forth a summary of new business that we have completed between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022:

(1) Where the estimated ultimate losses payable exceed the premium consideration received at the inception of the agreement, a DCA is recorded.
(2) We agreed to assume $3.1 billion of net loss reserves, subject to a limit of $3.6 billion. Pursuant to terms of the contract, the amount of net loss reserves assumed, in addition to the premium consideration provided in the LPT agreement, were adjusted for the original ADC cash premium of $770 million as well as claims paid between October 1, 2021 and May 20, 2022 and other contractual obligations totaling $432 million.

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.
We have presented the results and GAAP reconciliations for these measures further below. The following tables present more information on each non-GAAP measure.

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 valuable and consistent measure of the performance of our business, and enhances comparisons to prior periods: •by adjusting investment returns for the temporary impact of the change in fair value of fixed maturity securities (both credit spreads and interest rates) which we hold until the earlier of maturity or used to fund any settlement of related liabilities which are generally recorded at cost; •by removing the impact of non-cash charges that obscure our trends on a consistent basis; and •by removing items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations; We use this non-GAAP measure in our annual incentive compensation program. We include the amortization of fair value adjustments as a non-GAAP adjustment to the adjusted operating income (loss) attributable to Enstar ordinary shareholders as it is considered to be a non-cash charge and not indicative of our operating results. | ||||||||||||
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. Adjusts investment returns for the temporary impact of the change in fair value of fixed maturity securities (both credit spreads and interest rates) which we hold 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 measurement of our claims management performance. We use this measure to evaluate our ability to settle our 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 performance, we combine the reduction (increase) in estimates of prior period net ultimate losses relating to our Run-off segment with the amortization of deferred charge assets, both of which are included in net incurred losses and LAE and have an inverse effect on our results. We also include our performance in managing our defendant A&E liabilities, that do not form part of loss reserves. The remaining components of net incurred losses and LAE and net loss reserves are not considered key components of our claims performance as they are either not non-life run-off in nature, or are considered to be non-cash charges that obscure our trends on a consistent basis. We use this measure to assess the performance of our claim strategies and part of the performance assessment of our past acquisitions. | ||||||||||||
Adjusted prior period development (numerator) | Prior period net incurred losses and LAE, adjusted to: Remove: -Legacy Underwriting and Enhanzed Re operations -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 Underwriting and Enhanzed Re net 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) and Add: -net nominal defendant asbestos and environmental exposures. | |||||||||||||
Investable assets - management's view | Investable assets, adjusted to reallocate certain categories of investments based on management's view of the underlying economic exposure of a particular investment. Refer to the reconciliation for further details. | Management’s view “looks through” the legal form of an investment and aggregates the classification based upon the underlying economic exposure of each investment, which is consistent with the manner in which management views our investment portfolio composition. |

Other Financial Measures
In addition to our non-GAAP financial measures presented above, we refer to TIR, which provides a key measure of the return generated on the capital held in the business. It is reflective of our investment strategy and it provides a consistent measure of investment returns as a percentage of all assets generating investment returns.
The following tables provide the calculation of our Annualized TIR by segment:

(1) Second quarter 2021 results include incremental expenses attributable to the first quarter 2021 general and administrative expenses following a refinement made to the allocation of expenses in the second quarter of 2021, which increased the general and administrative expenses of the Run-off segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 by $16 million.
Overall Results
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net earnings from our Run-off segment increased by $69 million and $55 million, respectively, primarily due to:
•A $62 million and $73 million increase in favorable PPD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, driven by a $66 million and $70 million increase in the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses, respectively, primarily due to favorable loss activity in the professional indemnity/directors and officers and workers’ compensation lines of business; and
•A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $28 million and $17 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of the refinement made to the allocation of expenses in the second quarter of 2021 as described above,

Item 2 | Management's Discussion and Analysis | Results of Operations by Segment | Run-off Segment
these decreases were primarily driven by lower salaries and benefits due to reductions in head count and long-term incentive plan costs and decreases in professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022; partially offset by
•Reductions in net premiums earned that were greater than the reductions in current period net incurred losses and LAE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, following our exit of our StarStone International business beginning in 2020; and
•A reduction in other income of $7 million and $19 million, respectively, primarily driven by lower favorable prior period development related to our defendant A&E liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Enhanzed Re Segment
On September 1, 2021 we purchased an additional 27.7% in Enhanzed Re, a company that was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. We now own 75.1% of this company and have consolidated it as of September 1, 2021.
The Enhanzed Re segment consists of life and property aggregate excess of loss (catastrophe) business. The catastrophe business was not renewed for 2022.
We report the results of this segment on a one quarter lag. The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for our Enhanzed Re segment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022: Net earnings from our Enhanzed Re segment was primarily driven by:
•Favorable PPD of $29 million, primarily due favorable claim activity on catastrophe business; partially offset by
•Policyholder benefit expenses that were only partially offset by net premiums earned on the life reinsurance business and in-force catastrophe reinsurance treaties.

(1) Second quarter 2021 results include incremental expenses attributable to the first quarter 2021 general and administrative expenses following a refinement made to the allocation of expenses in the second quarter of 2021, which increased the general and administrative expenses of the Investments segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 by $3 million.
Overall Results
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net loss from our Investments segment was $532 million and $846 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net earnings of $466 million and $622 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The unfavorable movements of $998 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, were primarily due to:

•net realized and unrealized losses on our other investments, including equities, of $220 million and $304 million, respectively, in comparison to net gains of $296 million and $481 million, respectively, in the comparative periods, primarily driven by underperformance of our fixed income funds, public equities and CLO equities as a result of significant volatility in global equity markets and widening high yield credit spreads. The results were partially offset by gains on our private equity funds, private credit funds and real estate funds, which are typically recorded on a one quarter lag, and net gains on our hedge funds for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of exposure to Chinese equities; and

•an $83 million decrease in earnings from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022, largely due to our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021 (consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re was $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022). Prior to that date, the results of Enhanzed Re were recorded in earnings from equity method investments within the Investments segment; partially offset by:
•increases in our net investment income of $28 million and $43 million, respectively, which is primarily due to an increase in our average aggregate fixed income assets due to new business during the past year and the reinvestment of fixed maturities at higher yields.
Net investment losses recognized on the fixed income securities that support our Enhanzed Re life reinsurance business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $109 million and $128 million, respectively.

The overall decrease in the balance of our fixed income securities of $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by the recognition of net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities and assets used to support net paid losses during the period.
The change in the corporate average credit rating for the Run-off portfolio from A- as of December 31, 2021 to BBB+ as of June 30, 2022 was driven by the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions to higher-yielding fixed income securities in the period.

Our equities decreased by $219 million and other investments increased by $796 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, primarily due to the redeployment of a portion of the InRe Fund redemptions into various non-core asset strategies. The balances of both equities and other investments were negatively impacted by the recognition of net unrealized losses during the period.

(1) We own 31.9% of the common shares in HH CTCO Holdings Limited, which in turn owns 15.4% of the convertible preferred shares, amounting to a 6.2% interest in the total equity of Citco III Limited ("Citco").
(2) We own 20.0% of the common shares in Monument Re as well as preferred shares which have a fixed dividend yield and whose balance is included in the Investment amount.
The carrying value of our equity method investments increased from December 31, 2021 as a result of recognizing $32 million in earnings from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by unfavorable cumulative translation adjustments of $18 million due to the strengthening of the US dollar against the Euro. This net increase was primarily driven by our investment in Monument Re whose reporting currency is the Euro.
Overall, the earnings from equity method investments decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in comparison to the comparative period largely due to our acquisition of the controlling interest in Enhanzed Re, effective September 1, 2021 (consolidated net loss from Enhanzed Re was $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022). This decrease was partially offset by an increase in earnings from Monument Re for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Overall Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net loss from our corporate and other activities decreased by $63 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to:
•The attribution of net losses to noncontrolling interests of $42 million in the current quarter in comparison to the attribution of net earnings of $3 million in the comparative quarter, as a result of net losses sustained in 2022 for those companies where there is a noncontrolling interests; and
•Other income of $14 million in the current quarter in comparison to other expense of $6 million in the comparative quarter, a favorable change of $20 million; partially offset by
•An increase in general and administrative expenses of $21 million; and
•A reduction in adverse PPD of $9 million in the current quarter, primarily driven by:

Item 2 | Management's Discussion and Analysis | Results of Operations by Segment | Corporate and Other
◦A $65 million increase in the favorable change in the value of the fair value option related to liabilities on our assumed retroactive reinsurance agreements for which we have elected the fair value option due to increases in interest rates; partially offset by
◦A $57 million increase in the amortization of DCAs due to favorable PPD on recent acquisition years.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Net loss from our corporate and other activities decreased by $55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to:
•The attribution of net losses to noncontrolling interests of $31 million in the current period in comparison to the attribution of net earnings of $14 million in the comparative quarter, as a result of net losses sustained in 2022 for those companies where there is a noncontrolling interests;
•Other income of $17 million in the current period in comparison to other expense of $11 million in the comparative quarter, a favorable change of $28 million; and
•An increase in favorable PPD of $7 million in the current quarter primarily driven by:
◦An $88 million increase in the favorable change in the value of the fair value option related to liabilities on our assumed retroactive reinsurance agreements for which we have elected the fair value option due to increases in interest rates; partially offset by
◦An $82 million increase in the amortization of DCAs due to favorable PPD on recent acquisition years.
•The above movements were partially offset by a reduction in net gain on sales of subsidiaries in the current quarter of $15 million, with 2021 primarily driven by a $23 million gain on sale of SUL; and
•An increase in interest expense of $15 million, primarily due to the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes in August 2021 and the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes in January 2022.

Current Outlook
Run-off Outlook
Transactions
On August 8, 2022, we executed an LPT agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo”) covering a number of its U.S. casualty insurance portfolios, with a policy limit of $1.1 billion. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions which we expect to be completed in the second half of 2022.
We continue to evaluate transactions in our active pipeline including LPTs, ADCs, and other transaction types including acquisitions, and seek opportunities to execute on creative and accretive transactions by offering innovative capital release solutions that enable our clients to meet their capital and risk management objectives. Should we execute additional transactions, our mix of loss reserves by line of business, asset mix and both rate and timing of earnings may be impacted in the medium term.
We are also developing and evaluating the feasibility of initiatives to optimize our future return and capital position, including restructuring initiatives for some of the older loss portfolios that we have carried for a number of years.
Seasonality
We complete most of our annual loss reserve studies in the third and fourth quarters of each year and, as a result, tend to record the largest movements, both favorable and adverse, to net incurred losses and LAE in these periods.
In the interim periods where a reserve study has not been completed, we perform quarterly reviews to ascertain whether changes to claims paid or case reserves have varied from our expectations developed during the last annual reserve review. In this event, we consider the timing and magnitude of the actual versus expected development, and we may record an interim adjustment to our recorded reserves if, and when warranted.
Enhanzed Re
As part of our strategic review of Enhanzed Re, we evaluated the current marketplace offerings and the strategic position of Enhanzed Re to take advantage of future opportunities and have concluded that we will not be seeking new life business portfolios for the Enhanzed Re platform.
In the second quarter of 2022, we redeemed $490 million from Enhanzed Re’s investment portfolio and distributed $200 million of dividends to its shareholders (of which we retained our 75.1% share), which will be reflected in our third quarter results.
Investment Outlook
Global financial markets will remain, in our view, volatile for the remainder of 2022 as a result of inflationary pressures, the current tightening and anticipation of future monetary policy by central banks, ongoing supply chain disruptions, geopolitical events and the lingering effects of the pandemic.
To date, we have recognized significant unrealized losses on our fixed income investments, a trend that will continue in the event of further interest rate rises and credit spread widening. However, elevated interest rates represent an opportunity for us in the medium to long term, notably;
•We hold 17% of our portfolio in individual securities and funds that have floating interest rates which, should interest rates remain elevated, we expect to be accretive to future investment income book yields and unrealized gains for fund investments.
•Higher interest rates also provide us with the opportunity to reinvest at higher yields as our securities mature or as we invest premium received from new business.
•Lastly, as we generally aim to maintain fixed income securities that are shorter or of equivalent duration to the timing of our estimated payments for losses and LAE, we expect unrealized losses to be recouped as our fixed maturity assets get closer to their maturity and the prices pull to par.
Global equity markets are expected to remain turbulent in the second half of 2022 and this, combined with our reporting lag on certain investments, will impact the valuation of our non-core risk investments.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 44
However, we remain committed to our strategic asset allocation investment strategy and expect our other investments, including equities, to provide higher risk adjusted returns and diversification benefits over the medium to long term. In addition, we continue to seek investment opportunities that have inflationary pass-through components, including investments in private credit, real estate, and infrastructure asset classes.
Inflation
We continue to monitor the inflationary impacts resulting from pandemic-related government stimulus, supply-demand imbalances, and labor force and supply chain disruptions, on our loss cost trends.
Our Run-off net loss reserves primarily consist of general casualty, workers’ compensation and asbestos lines of business which, as long tailed lines of business, have not, so far, been significantly impacted by ongoing inflationary pressures in comparison to other lines of business such as property and auto lines. The limited impact of inflation on our loss cost trends reflects a combination of the opportunity we have to re-price seasoned books of business and our claims management model that seeks to settle claims in an efficient and responsive manner to protect and mitigate the impact to us from adverse outcomes and social inflation. We continue to monitor claims in difficult legislative districts, seek to actively settle claims and monitor for reserving adequacy.
Global economic policy responses to inflation have led to increases in interest rates, which, in the short term, have had a significant impact on our investments, in particular our fixed maturity securities. Any further rise in interest rates will have further negative impacts on our fixed income investments. Anticipations of economic downturn will further negatively impact our non-core investments. We continue to monitor liquidity, capital and potential earnings impact of these changes but remain focused on medium to long term asset allocation decisions.
Inflation may also result in increased wage pressures underlying our operating expenses, as we remain focused on being a competitive employer in our market.
Russian Invasion of Ukraine
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting impact on global commodity markets has increased commodity inflation rates, disrupted supply chains and generated significant insurance losses. In response, many countries have established comprehensive sanctions regimes and geopolitical tension between NATO and Russia has increased.
To quantify our exposure, we have performed an analysis of, and continue to monitor, our direct investment and underwriting risks, our acquisition pipeline and the potential for operational disruption (including disruption via our third party service providers). We have concluded that we have no significant direct impacts from this event. We continue to monitor for, and respond to, all changes in the global sanctions regime, updating our procedures accordingly.

For purposes of the financial covenants in our credit facilities, total debt excludes any portion of hybrid capital (defined as our Series D and E Preferred Shares and Subordinated Notes) that is less than 15% of total capital attributable to Enstar. As of June 30, 2022 our hybrid capital made up 21.6% of the total capital attributable to Enstar and we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $785 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, that supports (re)insurance operations, and included in this amount was $325 million held by our foreign subsidiaries outside of Bermuda.
Based on our group's current corporate structure with a Bermuda domiciled parent company and the jurisdictions in which we operate, if the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be distributed to us, as dividends or otherwise, such amounts would not be subject to incremental income taxes; however, in certain circumstances withholding taxes may be imposed by some jurisdictions, including by the United States.
Based on existing tax laws, regulations and our current intentions, there were no accruals as of June 30, 2022 for any material withholding taxes on dividends or other distributions.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
We believe that the best investment is in our business, by funding future transactions and meeting our financing obligations. We may choose to return value to shareholders in the form of share repurchases or dividends. To date, we have not declared any dividends on our ordinary shares. For details on our share repurchase programs, refer to
2 Including gross loss reserves, future policyholder benefits and defendant A&E liabilities.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 46
Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We may re-evaluate this strategy from time to time based on overall market conditions and other factors.
We have 16,000 Series D Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation value of $400 million and 4,400 Series E Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation value of $110 million. The dividends on both Series of Preferred Shares are non-cumulative and may be paid quarterly in arrears, only when, as and if declared.
Any payment of common or preferred dividends must be approved by our Board. Our ability to pay ordinary and preferred dividends is subject to certain restrictions.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Holding Company Liquidity
The potential sources of cash flows to Enstar as a holding company consist of cash flows from our subsidiaries including dividends, advances and loans, and interest income on loans to our subsidiaries. We also utilize our credit and loan facilities, and we have issued senior notes and preferred shares and guaranteed junior subordinated notes issued by one of our subsidiaries.
We use cash to fund new acquisitions of companies. We also utilize cash for our operating expenses associated with being a public company and to pay dividends on our preferred shares and interest and principal on loans from subsidiaries and debt obligations, including loans under our credit facilities, our Senior Notes, our Junior Subordinated Notes and Enhanzed Re’s 2031 Subordinated Notes (together with the Junior Subordinated Notes, the "Subordinated Notes").
Under the eligible capital rules of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), the Senior Notes qualify as Tier 3 capital and the Preferred Shares and Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital when considering the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirements (“BSCR”).
We may, from time to time, raise capital from the issuance of equity, debt or other securities as we continuously evaluate our strategic opportunities. We filed an automatic shelf registration statement in August 2020 with the SEC to allow us to conduct future offerings of certain securities, if desired, including debt, equity and other securities.
As we are a holding company and have no substantial operations of our own, our assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries and our loans and advances to subsidiaries. Dividends from our (re)insurance subsidiaries are restricted by (re)insurance laws and regulations, as described below. The ability of all of our subsidiaries to make distributions and transfers to us may also be restricted by, among other things, other applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our credit facilities and our subsidiaries' bank loans and other issued debt instruments.
U.S. Finance Company Liquidity
Enstar Finance is a wholly-owned finance subsidiary and is dependent upon funds from other subsidiaries to pay any amounts due under the Junior Subordinated Notes. In addition, as noted above, we are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries. Our only significant assets are the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Because substantially all of our operations are conducted through our (re)insurance subsidiaries, substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by our subsidiaries and most of our cash flow, and, consequently, our ability to pay any amounts due under the guaranty of the Junior Subordinated Notes, is dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the transfer of funds by those subsidiaries to us in the form of distributions or loans.
In addition, the ability of our (re)insurance subsidiaries to make distributions or other transfers to Enstar Finance or us is limited by applicable insurance laws and regulations, as described below. These laws and regulations and the determinations by the regulators implementing them may significantly restrict such distributions and transfers, and, as a result, adversely affect the overall liquidity of Enstar Finance or us. The ability of all of our subsidiaries to make distributions and transfers to Enstar Finance and us may also be restricted by, among other things, other applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our credit facilities and our subsidiaries’ bank loans and other issued debt instruments.
Operating Company Liquidity
The ability of our (re)insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which our (re)insurance subsidiaries operate, including Bermuda, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Continental Europe, which subject these subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 47
These laws and regulations require, among other things, certain of our (re)insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital requirements and limit the amount of dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to us, which in turn may limit our ability to pay dividends and make other payments.
As of June 30, 2022, all of our (re)insurance subsidiaries’ capital requirement levels were in excess of the minimum levels required.
Our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends and make other forms of distributions may also be limited by our repayment obligations under certain of our outstanding credit facility agreements and other debt instruments. Variability in ultimate loss payments and collateral amounts required may also result in increased liquidity requirements for our subsidiaries.
Our sources of funds primarily consist of cash and investment portfolios acquired on the completion of acquisitions and new business, investment income earned, proceeds from sales and maturities of investments and collection of reinsurance recoverables.
Cash balances acquired upon the purchase of (re)insurance companies are classified as cash provided by investing activities, whereas cash from new business is classified as cash provided by operating activities.
We expect to use funds from cash and investment portfolios, collected premiums, collections from reinsurance debtors, investment income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments to meet expected claims payments and operational expenses, with the remainder used for acquisitions and additional investments.
Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were negative as we did not receive premium in the form of cash as a result of assuming new business in the period, and our net paid losses and cash used to purchase trading securities exceeded cash provided by sales and maturities of trading securities. By contrast operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were positive as the cash acquired from new business and the sale of trading securities exceeded cash used in the purchase of trading securities, with the net proceeds being used in the purchase of AFS securities and other investments included within investing cash flows.
Overall, we expect our cash flows, together with our existing capital base and cash and investments acquired and from new business, to be sufficient to meet cash requirements and to operate our business.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to increasing by $533 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 48
Cash used in operations of $117 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was predominantly driven by:
(i) net paid losses of $828 million; partially offset by
(ii) the cash inflows from net sales of trading securities of $772 million.
Cash used in investing activities of $934 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to:
(i) net purchases of other investments of $902 million; and
(ii) net purchases of AFS securities of $34 million.
Cash provided by financing activities of $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was attributable to the net proceeds from the issuance of debt of $214 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $163 million and preferred share dividends of $18 million.
Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was predominantly driven by:
(i) cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents from new business of $1.4 billion; and
(ii) the cash inflows from net sales and maturities of trading securities of $1.2 billion; partially offset by
(iii) net paid losses of $704 million.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to:
(i) net purchases of AFS securities of $2.0 billion; and
(ii) the sales of subsidiaries, net of cash sold, of $232 million; partially offset by
(iii) the impact of consolidating the opening cash and restricted cash balances of the InRe Fund of $574 million.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to net loan repayments of $10 million, share repurchases of $11 million and preferred share dividends of $18 million.
The change in cash of businesses held-for-sale for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to the disposal of Northshore Holdings Limited ("Northshore").
Investable Assets
We define investable assets as the sum of total investments, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and funds held. Investable assets were $20.9 billion as of June 30, 2022 as compared to $21.7 billion as of December 31, 2021. This represents a decrease of 3.9% primarily due to a decline in the carrying value of our fixed income securities and other investments, including equities, and net paid losses, partially offset by an increase in funds held by reinsured companies as a result of the Aspen transaction.
Reinsurance Balances Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Losses
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses of $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
Our (re)insurance run-off subsidiaries and assumed portfolios, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of (re)insurance assumed.
We remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible.

(1) The reserves for losses and LAE represent management’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling losses. The estimation of losses is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses paid may differ, perhaps significantly, from the reserve estimates reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in actual payment activity. The assumptions used in estimating the likely payments due by period are based on our historical claims payment experience and industry payment patterns, but due to the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid in any such period can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed above. The amounts in the above table represent our estimates of known liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and do not take into account corresponding reinsurance recoverable amounts that would be due to us. Furthermore, certain of the reserves included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 were acquired by us and initially recorded at fair value with subsequent amortization, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustment in the amount payable.
We generally seek to maintain investment portfolios that are shorter or of equivalent duration to our liabilities in order to provide liquidity for the settlement of losses and, where possible, to avoid having to liquidate longer-dated investments. The settlement of liabilities also has the potential to accelerate the natural payout of losses, which may require additional liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, we have entered into certain investment commitments and parental guarantees4. We also utilize unsecured and secured letters of credit and a deposit facility. We do not believe it is reasonably likely that these arrangements will have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar") is a leading global (re)insurance group that offers innovative capital release solutions through its network of group companies. Our core focus is acquiring and managing (re)insurance companies and portfolios of (re)insurance business in run-off.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, that are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair statement. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policy has been updated following the completion of the loss portfolio transaction (“LPT”) with Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) on May 20, 2022 as further described in Note 3.
(a) Funds Held
We receive a fixed crediting rate of return or other contractually agreed return on our funds held by reinsured companies. Where we receive a contractually agreed return, we evaluate whether we are required to recognize an embedded derivative.
Funds held by reinsured companies are carried at cost and any embedded derivative is carried at fair value. We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets with the host contract in order to reflect the expected settlement of these features with the host contract.
The investment return is recognized in net investment income with the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative included in net unrealized gains (losses).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2022-03 - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
In June 2022, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, which includes reflecting the fair value of such securities in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions, and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions.
The ASU is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 1 | Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 2. Segment Information
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our segment structure is aligned with how our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who was determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, views our business, assesses performance and allocates resources to our business components. Our business is organized into four reportable segments: (i) Run-off; (ii) Enhanzed Re; (iii) Investments; and (iv) Legacy Underwriting. In addition, our corporate and other activities, which do not qualify as an operating segment, include income and expense items that are not directly attributable to our reportable segments.
Our assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis by management for decision making purposes since they support business operations across all of our four reportable segments as well as our corporate and other activities. We do not allocate assets to our reportable segments with the exception of (re)insurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses and goodwill that are directly attributable to our reportable segments.

There was $11 million accelerated amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Funds Held by Reinsured Companies
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had funds held by reinsured companies of $4.0 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. The increase from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the LPT transaction with Aspen.
Pursuant to the terms of the Aspen LPT transaction, in addition to earning a fixed crediting rate (“base crediting rate”) on the funds withheld balance we received as premium consideration, as of October 1, 2022 and through September 30, 2025 we will also receive a variable return (together, the “full crediting rate”).
As of June 30, 2022, we recognized an embedded derivative of $27 million which represents the fair value of the amount by which all future interest payments on the funds withheld balance made at the full crediting rate are expected to exceed all future interest payments made on the funds withheld balance at the base crediting rate.

The gross realized gains and losses on AFS investments for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included in the table above resulted from sales of $217 million and $504 million, respectively. The gross realized gains and losses on AFS investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included in the table above resulted from the sales of $977 million and $1.2 billion, respectively.
Net recognized gains and losses on fixed maturity trading and the fixed maturities within our funds held-directly managed are presented within net unrealized losses in the table above. This is a change to our previous presentation which split recognized gains (losses) between net realized losses on sale and net unrealized losses. This change resulted in a revision to the presentation of realized losses and losses on sale of investments and unrealized losses on investments within the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (with no impact to net earnings).

4. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments in our risk management strategies and investment operations.
Foreign currency forward exchange rate contracts are used in qualifying hedging relationships to hedge the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of our net investments in foreign operations.
We also utilize foreign currency forward contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships as part of our overall foreign currency risk management strategy or to obtain exposure to a particular financial market, as well as for yield enhancement and collectively managing credit and duration risk.
From time to time we may also utilize credit default swaps to both hedge and replicate credit exposure and government bond futures contracts for interest rate management.

5. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
The liability for losses and LAE, also referred to as loss reserves, represents our gross estimates before reinsurance for unpaid reported losses (Outstanding Loss Reserves, or "OLR") and includes losses that have been incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR") using a variety of actuarial methods. We recognize an asset for the portion of the liability that we expect to recover from reinsurers. LAE reserves include allocated LAE ("ALAE") and unallocated LAE ("ULAE"). ALAE are linked to the settlement of an individual claim or loss, whereas ULAE are based on our estimates of future costs to administer the claims. IBNR includes amounts for unreported claims, development on known claims and reopened claims.
Our loss reserves cover multiple lines of business, including asbestos, environmental, general casualty, workers' compensation, marine, aviation and transit, construction defect, professional indemnity/directors and officers, motor, property and other non-life lines of business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022:
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $103 million related to prior periods was driven by the Run-off segment primarily due to favorable loss activity in the professional indemnity/directors and officers and workers’ compensation lines of business.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021:
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $38 million related to prior periods was driven by the Run-off segment as a result of favorable development in our professional indemnity/directors and officers line of business across our Lloyd’s portfolios arising from a change in projected ultimate losses and reductions in case reserve estimates for large claims, continued favorable actual experience versus expected losses in our workers’ compensation line of business, as well as favorable actual experience versus expected losses across multiple StarStone International books of business. Partially offsetting this favorable development was an increase in net incurred losses of $22 million due to our reevaluation of our gross and net exposure on COVID-19 related losses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022:
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $161 million related to prior periods was driven by the Run-off and Enhanzed Re segments primarily due to favorable loss activity in the professional indemnity/directors and officers and workers’ compensation lines of business and favorable claim activity on Enhanzed Re’s catastrophe business, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021:
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $69 million related to prior periods was driven by the Run-off segment as a result of favorable development in our professional indemnity/directors and officers line of business across our Lloyd’s portfolios arising from a change in projected ultimate losses and reductions in case reserve estimates for large claims, continued favorable actual experience versus expected losses in our workers’ compensation line of business, as well as favorable actual experience versus expected losses across multiple StarStone International books of business. Partially offsetting this favorable development was an increase in net incurred losses of $22 million due to our reevaluation of our gross and net exposure on COVID-19 related losses.
Amortization of DCAs
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022:
The amortization of DCAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 of $80 million and $113 million, respectively, was primarily driven by the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses in the professional indemnity/directors and officers line of business which resulted in an acceleration of the amortization of the associated DCA.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021:
The amortization of DCAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $23 million and $31 million, respectively, was related to normal amortization consistent with loss settlement periods.
Changes in Fair Value - Fair Value Option
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
PPD was favorably impacted by changes in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option of $48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 which was primarily driven by increases in corporate bond yields, which is a component of the discount rate used to calculate the fair value of the liabilities, in 2022. For the comparative period, PPD was adversely impacted by changes in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option of $17 million due to a decrease in corporate bond yields.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
PPD was favorably impacted by changes in the fair value of liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option of $146 million and $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was primarily driven by increases in corporate bond yields in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants. We use a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:
•Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.
•Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or significant inputs that are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity. Unadjusted third party pricing sources or management's assumptions and internal valuation models may be used to determine the fair values.
In addition, certain of our other investments are measured using net asset value ("NAV") per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and have not been classified within the fair value hierarchy above.

Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The following includes only material changes in our valuation methodologies of financial instruments measured at fair value as disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and relate to changes resulting from the Aspen transaction.
Funds Held by Reinsured Companies
The fair value of the embedded derivative representing the contractually agreed variable return on our Aspen funds held by reinsured companies is classified as Level 3 and is calculated using an internal model.
The fair value was calculated as the difference between:
i.the present value of all future expected interest payments based on the full crediting rate, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model; and
ii.the present value of all future expected interest payments based on the base crediting rate, calculated using a discounted cash flow model.
The Monte Carlo simulation model uses:
i.a continuous forward risk-free rate commensurate with the crediting interest rate period (observable); and
ii.an estimated historical volatility rate based upon the annualized standard deviation of daily log returns observed on a portfolio replicating the Aspen investment over a period commensurate with the crediting rate period (unobservable).
The discounted cash flow model uses:
i.estimated expected loss payments based upon an appropriate payment pattern developed in accordance with standard actuarial techniques (unobservable);
ii.a risk-free rate based on U.S. treasury rates as of the valuation date (observable); and
iii.a credit spread based upon the historical option adjusted spread of the Aspen publicly traded corporate debt instrument (observable).
Level 3 Measurements and Changes in Leveling
Transfers into or out of levels are recorded at their fair values as of the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of determination of fair value.

Item 1 | Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
Below is a summary of the quantitative information regarding the significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the internal model to determine fair value on a recurring basis:
Valuation Technique | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||
Unobservable (U) and Observable (O) Inputs | Weighted Average | |||||||||||||
Internal model | Corporate bond yield (O) | A rated | A rated | |||||||||||
Internal model | Credit spread for non-performance risk (U) | 0.2% | 0.2% | |||||||||||
Internal model | Risk cost of capital (U) | 5.1% | 5.1% | |||||||||||
Internal model | Weighted average cost of capital (U) | 8.25% | 8.25% | |||||||||||
Internal model | Average payout - liability (U) | 7.92 years | 7.95 years | |||||||||||
Internal model | Average payout - reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses (U) | 7.79 years | 7.63 years |
The fair value of the liability for losses and LAE and reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses may increase or decrease due to changes in the corporate bond rate, the credit spread for non-performance risk, the risk cost of capital, the weighted average cost of capital and the estimated payment pattern.
In addition, the estimate of the capital required to support the liabilities is based upon current industry standards for capital adequacy.

Item 1 | Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 8. Variable Interest Entities
8. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We have investments in certain limited partnership funds which are deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The activities of these VIEs are generally limited to holding investments and our involvement in these entities is passive in nature. We consolidate all VIEs in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary.
InRe Fund
During 2021, we redeemed an aggregate of $2.7 billion from the InRe Fund and completed the liquidation of our investment in the fourth quarter of 2021.
On April 1, 2021, we obtained control of the InRe Fund following redemption by the general partner, an affiliate of Hillhouse Group, of all of its outstanding ownership interests and the termination of its investment management activities. From that date we had both full ownership of the InRe Fund and the power to direct its activities, which led to our determination to consolidate the InRe Fund.
Prior to consolidation, our investment in the InRe Fund was recorded at fair value using the NAV as a practical expedient, with any changes included within net unrealized gains in the consolidated statements of earnings. Thus, there was no gain or loss upon consolidation.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net investment expenses for the InRe Fund of $20 million for both periods; and net unrealized gains of $216 million and $293 million, respectively.
During the three and six months end June 30, 2021, our consolidated statements of cash flows included net operating cash flows of $1.2 billion for both periods, driven by net sales of trading securities, partially offset by net payments to cover securities sold short; and net investing cash flows of $574 million, for both periods, resulting from the initial consolidation of the InRe Fund's cash and restricted cash balances.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
The tables below present the fair value of our investments in nonconsolidated VIEs as well as our maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs:

Item 1 | Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 9. Debt Obligations
9. DEBT OBLIGATIONS
New Debt Obligations
On January 14, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Enstar Finance LLC (“Enstar Finance”), completed the issuance and sale of a series of junior subordinated notes due 2042 (the "2042 Junior Subordinated Notes") for an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest (i) during the initial five-year period ending January 14, 2027, at a fixed rate per annum of 5.50% and (ii) during each five-year reset period thereafter beginning January 15, 2027, at a fixed rate per annum equal to the five-year U.S. treasury rate calculated as of two business days prior to the beginning of such five-year period plus 4.006%.
The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes are unsecured junior subordinated obligations of Enstar Finance, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Company on an unsecured and junior subordinated basis, and are contractually subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future obligations of our other subsidiaries (other than Enstar Finance).
The 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes are exclusively the obligations of Enstar Finance and the Parent Company, to the extent of the guarantee, and are not guaranteed by any of our other subsidiaries, which are separate and distinct legal entities and, except for Enstar Finance, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay holders any amounts due on the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes or to make any funds available for payment on the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes, whether by dividends, loans or other payments.
Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes may declare the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the then outstanding 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Subject to threshold regulatory requirements, Enstar Finance may repurchase the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time during a par call period, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and at any time not during a par call period, plus an additional "make-whole" premium.
We incurred costs of $7 million in issuing the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes. The net proceeds of the 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes were partially used to fund the payment at maturity of the outstanding $280 million aggregate principal amount of our 2022 Senior Notes.
Amendment to Existing Letter of Credit Facility
On June 27, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our existing $250 million letter of credit facility to procure the issuance of an additional $115 million letter of credit, thereby increasing the aggregate face amount of letters of credit issued under the facility to $365 million.

The decrease in RNCI for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the Exchange Transaction5, which was completed on January 1, 2021. Following the completion of the Exchange Transaction, there is no RNCI in respect of Northshore Holdings Limited ("Northshore"), the holding company of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited and Arden Reinsurance Company, and the remaining RNCI as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 relates only to the remaining international operations of StarStone Specialty Holdings Limited.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $193 million and $230 million, respectively, of non-controlling interests (“NCI”) primarily related to external interests in three of our subsidiaries, including Enhanzed Re. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the equity attributable to NCI is included in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholder's equity.

(1) Weighted-average ordinary shares for basic earnings per share includes ordinary shares (voting and non-voting), but excludes ordinary shares held in the Enstar Group Limited Employee Benefit Trust (the "EB Trust") in respect of Joint Share Ownership Plan ("JSOP") awards.
(2) Share-based dilutive securities include restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance share units. Certain share-based compensation awards, including the ordinary shares held in the EB Trust in respect of JSOP awards, were excluded from the calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 because they were anti-dilutive.
(3) Warrants to acquire 175,901 Series C Non-Voting Ordinary Shares for an exercise price of $115.00 per share were exercised on a non-cash basis during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in a total of 89,590 Series C Non-Voting Ordinary Shares being issued in the period. As of December 31, 2021, there were no warrants outstanding following the exercise described. The warrants presented in the table above are a weighted-average of the warrants outstanding for the period.
(4) During a period of loss, the basic weighted average ordinary shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per ordinary share computation as the effect of including potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Joint Share Ownership Plan Award Amendment
On July 1, 2022, the terms of the JSOP award made to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) on January 21, 20206 were amended to extend the vesting date of the award from January 20, 2023 to January 20, 2025. The amendment preserved the compound annual growth used to determine the hurdle price that must be achieved in order for the JSOP award to vest, which resulted in an increase to the hurdle from $266.00 to $315.53. A corresponding extension was made to the term of the performance condition based on growth in fully diluted book value per share from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
The accounting for stock-settled JSOP awards is similar to options, whereby the grant date fair value is expensed over the life of the award. The incremental fair value of the amended award on July 1, 2022 was $15 million, or $27.25 per share, which will be expensed over the remaining life of the award commencing from July 1, 2022.

Item 1 | Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
We are subject to credit risk principally in relation to our:
i.investments, including equity method investments;
ii.cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents;
iii.assets pledged to ceding companies under reinsurance contracts;
iv.(re)insurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid losses; and
v.funds held by reinsured companies and funds held - directly managed (together funds held).
As of June 30, 2022, we had funds held concentrations to reinsured companies exceeding 10% of shareholders’ equity of $5.7 billion (December 31, 2021: $4.4 billion) in aggregate. However, we generally have the contractual ability to offset any shortfall in the payment of the funds held balances with amounts owed by us.
We limit the amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty, and none of our counterparty credit exposures, excluding U.S. government instruments and the counterparties noted above, exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2022. Our credit exposure to the U.S. government was $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $1.2 billion).
Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and arbitration regarding claims. Estimated losses relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including the anticipated outcome of any pending arbitration or litigation are included in the liability for losses and LAE in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition to claims litigation, we may be subject to other lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business, which may involve, among other things, allegations of underwriting errors or omissions, bad faith, employment claims or regulatory activity. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the (re)insurance industry, we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to A&E and other claims.
Unfunded Investment Commitments
As of June 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments of $1.9 billion to other investments, $29 million to privately held equity and $109 million to our majority owned subsidiary Enhanzed Re.
Guarantees
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, parental guarantees supporting reinsurance obligations, defendant A&E liabilities, subsidiary capital support arrangements and credit facilities were $2.7 billion, for both periods. We also guarantee the 2040 and 2042 Junior Subordinated Notes, which have an aggregate principal amount of $850 million as of June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $350 million).
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
We have the right to purchase the RNCI interests from the RNCI holders at certain times in the future (each such right, a "call right") and the RNCI holders have the right to sell their RNCI interests to us at certain times in the future (each such right, a "put right"). Following the closing of the Exchange Transaction, we have maintained a call right over the portion of StarStone Specialty Holdings Limited owned by the Trident V Funds and Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P. and Capital City Partners LLC, and they will maintain put rights to transfer those interests to us.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Transactions
Argo
On August 8, 2022, we executed an LPT agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo”) covering a number of its U.S. casualty insurance portfolios, including construction, for accident years 2011 to 2019.
We will provide ground up cover of $746 million, and an additional $275 million of cover in excess of $821 million, up to a policy limit of $1.1 billion. Argo will retain a loss corridor of $75 million up to $821 million. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions which we expect to be completed in the second half of 2022.
Investments
Reporting Lag
The impact from continued volatility in global financial markets during the second quarter of 2022 will be recognized in future periods as a result of Enhanzed Re and certain other investments being recorded on a one quarter lag basis.
We anticipate the net unrealized investment losses from this lag to be in the range between $300 million to $350 million, which we expect to record in our third quarter 2022 results. Excluding losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, we expect our share of these losses to be in the range between $240 million to $290 million.
As of June 30, 2022, the carrying value of Enhanzed Re’s investment portfolio, which is recorded on a one quarter lag, was $2.6 billion.
Noncontrolling Interests
Enhanzed Re
During the second quarter of 2022, Enhanzed Re declared and paid a $200 million dividend, whereby $150 million was retained by the Company, and $50 million was paid to Allianz in respect of its ownership interest in Enhanzed Re. The dividend will be reflected in our third quarter 2022 results.
Enstar Group Limited | Second Quarter 2022 | Form 10-Q 93
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, except as noted below, that we maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
On September 1, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the controlling interest of Enhanzed Re. Enhanzed Re is reported on a one quarter lag and therefore its balance sheet and operating results as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2022 are included in our balance sheet and operating results as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Enhanzed Re represented 11.9% of our total assets and 12.3% of our total consolidated net loss as a consolidated subsidiary as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We are in the process of evaluating internal control over financial reporting for Enhanzed Re and have accordingly excluded Enhanzed Re from our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
