PRESS RELEASE

Maiden Holdings, Ltd. Announces
Second Quarter of 2020 Financial Results


PEMBROKE, Bermuda, August 14, 2020 - Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ:  MHLD) ("Maiden" or the "Company") today reported second quarter 2020 net income of $9.2 million or $0.11 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $15.4 million or $0.19 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP operating earnings(5) were $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $21.3 million or $0.26 per diluted common share for the same period in 2019.
Maiden's book value per common share(1) was $0.78 at June 30, 2020 compared to $0.51 at December 31, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted for the unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance recognized as of June 30, 2020 of $111.5 million, the Company's adjusted book value per common share(2) was $2.09 at June 30, 2020.
Commenting on the second quarter of 2020 financial results, Lawrence F. Metz, Maiden’s President and Co-Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased to report our second consecutive profitable quarter, during which loss experience continued to stabilize and we regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules. As we increase our emphasis on asset and capital management, we are also remaining vigilant in managing our operating expenses to ensure that we are positioned for further increases in Maiden’s profitability. The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have been immaterial as expected."
Patrick J. Haveron, Maiden’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer added, "Our book value recovered sharply in the second quarter as we reported another profit and asset prices recovered quickly from the volatility experienced at the end of the first quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once again in the quarter we were able to capture realized investment gains in conjunction with expected settlement of our run-off insurance liabilities. While the ultimate loss development of our run-off portfolio still requires further maturity to fully emerge, the continuation of more recent stable loss development trends have been encouraging, although there is no guarantee these trends will persist. We are actively evaluating the strategic options available to us in order to deploy our assets and capital to further increase Maiden’s value to all shareholders."
Consolidated Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2020
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $9.2 million compared to a net loss of $15.4 million for the same period in 2019. The net improvement in results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the following:
net income from continuing operations of $9.2 million compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.0 million for the same period in 2019 largely due to the following factors:
a negligible underwriting loss(4) in second quarter of 2020 compared to $39.1 million in the same period in 2019. The reduction in the underwriting loss was due to:
the impact of lower loss ratios combined with lower current year premiums earned during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019; and
favorable prior year loss development of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to adverse prior year loss development of $26.0 million during the same period in 2019 which had been incurred primarily within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.
The improved underwriting results were partially offset by the following:
lower realized gains on investment of $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to realized gains of $24.1 million for the same period in 2019;
a reduction in investment income to $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $31.1 million





for the same period in 2019; and
foreign exchange and other losses of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to foreign exchange and other gains of $1.2 million for the same period in 2019.
no net income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $19.4 million for the same period in 2019, as a result of the Settlement and Commutation Agreement entered into by Maiden and Enstar on July 31, 2019 which caused a net additional loss of $16.7 million to be recognized.
Net premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $4.1 million compared to $(0.4) million in the same respective period in 2019. Premiums written in the Diversified Reinsurance segment decreased by $0.2 million or 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to lower premiums written in German Auto programs within our IIS business. There were no new written premiums within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment due to the termination of both the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share effective January 1, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the negative premiums written were primarily the result of the Partial Termination Amendment which resulted in our indirect wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Reinsurance") returning approximately $648.0 million in unearned premium to AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. ("AII"), or $436.8 million net of applicable ceding commission and brokerage.
Net premiums earned decreased by $112.7 million or 84.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to the combined impact of the terminated quota share contracts within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, non-renewals in Maiden Reinsurance's European Capital Solutions business and a reduction in the German Auto programs produced by our IIS unit within the Diversified Reinsurance segment.
Net investment income decreased by $16.8 million or 54.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same respective period in 2019, primarily due to the decline in average investable assets of 38.0% in those same periods. The decline in investable assets is largely due to the cessation of active reinsurance underwriting and other initiatives resulting from the Strategic Review that was commenced in 2018 and has been responsible for significant negative operating cash flows as we run-off our existing reinsurance liabilities. Lower investment income was also impacted by the decline in average book yields to 2.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 3.1% for the same period in 2019. Net realized gains on investment were $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net realized gains of $24.1 million for the same respective period in 2019. The realized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily due to sales of corporate bonds during the second quarter of 2020 for the settlement of claim payments to AmTrust.
Net loss and LAE decreased by $110.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same respective period in 2019 largely due to the termination of the AmTrust Reinsurance quota share agreements effective January 1, 2019. Net loss and LAE for the second quarter of 2020 was impacted by net favorable prior year reserve development of $0.1 million compared to net adverse prior year reserve development of $26.0 million during the same period in 2019. Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by $41.5 million or 83.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same respective period in 2019 due to significantly lower earned premiums in both of our reportable segments.
Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 23.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 largely due to continued decrease in salary, benefits and other corporate expenses associated with the Strategic Review and related headcount reductions since 2018. The Company estimates that it incurred operating expenses of approximately $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 which it believes will not recur in future periods.
Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $30.1 million compared to a net loss of $52.0 million for the same period in 2019. The net improvement in results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the following:
net income from continuing operations of $30.1 million compared to net loss from continuing operations of $29.9 million for the same period in 2019 largely due to the following factors:
underwriting loss of $3.7 million compared to $81.8 million in the same period in 2019. The reduction in the underwriting loss was due to:
the impact of lower loss ratios combined with lower current year premiums earned during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019; and
favorable prior year loss development of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to adverse prior year loss development of $33.3 million during the same period in 2019 which had been incurred primarily within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.





realized gains on investment of $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to realized gains of $13.0 million for the same period in 2019.
This was partially offset by the following:
a reduction in net investment income to $32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $63.1 million for the same period in 2019; and
foreign exchange and other gains of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to foreign exchange and other gains of $6.2 million for the same period in 2019.
no net income or loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $22.1 million for the same period in 2019, as a result of the Settlement and Commutation Agreement entered into by Maiden and Enstar on July 31, 2019 which caused a net additional loss of $16.7 million to be recognized.
Net premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $14.5 million compared to $(561.9) million for the same respective period in 2019. Premiums written in the Diversified Reinsurance segment decreased by $4.7 million or 20.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to lower premiums written in German Auto programs within our IIS business. There were no new written premiums within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment due to the termination of both the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share effective January 1, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the negative premiums written were primarily the result of the Partial Termination Amendment which resulted in Maiden Reinsurance returning approximately $648.0 million in unearned premium to AII or $436.8 million net of applicable ceding commission and brokerage.
Net premiums earned decreased by $264.6 million or 83.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to the combined impact of the terminated quota share contracts within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, non-renewals in Maiden Reinsurance's European Capital Solutions business and a reduction in the German Auto programs produced by our IIS unit within the Diversified Reinsurance segment.
Net investment income decreased by $30.9 million or 48.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same respective period in 2019, primarily due to the decline in average investable assets of 35.9% in those same periods. The decline in investable assets is largely due to the cessation of active reinsurance underwriting and other initiatives resulting from the Strategic Review that was commenced in 2018 and has been responsible for significant negative operating cash flows as we run-off our existing reinsurance liabilities. Lower investment income was also impacted by the decline in average book yields to 2.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 3.1% for the same period in 2019. Net realized gains on investment were $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net realized gains of $13.0 million for the same respective period in 2019. The realized gains for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily due to sales of corporate bonds during the first half of 2020 for the settlement of claim payments to AmTrust.
Net loss and LAE decreased by $242.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same respective period in 2019 largely due to the termination of the AmTrust Reinsurance quota share agreements effective January 1, 2019. Net loss and LAE for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by net favorable prior year reserve development of $0.6 million compared to net adverse prior year reserve development of $33.3 million during the same period in 2019. Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by $99.1 million or 83.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same respective period in 2019 due to significantly lower earned premiums in both of our reportable segments.
Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $11.0 million, or 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 largely due to continued decrease in salary, benefits and other corporate expenses associated with the Strategic Review and related headcount reductions since 2018. The Company estimates that it incurred operating expenses of approximately $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 which it believes will not recur in future periods.
Non-GAAP Operating Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Non-GAAP operating earnings was $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $21.3 million or $0.26 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2019.
Non-GAAP operating earnings was $4.4 million or $0.05 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $48.9 million or $0.59 per diluted common share for the same period in 2019.
In addition to other adjustments, management has adjusted the GAAP net operating earnings and underwriting results by recognizing the decrease in the unamortized deferred gain arising from the Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement (the "LPT/ADC Agreement") which is fully recoverable from Enstar's Bermuda reinsurance affiliate, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited to show the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement to Maiden. The amount recognized as an unamortized deferred gain liability pursuant to this agreement was $111.5 million as of June 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.4 million compared to





$113.0 million at December 31, 2019. Adjusted for the amortization into income of the decrease in the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance of $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the non-GAAP underwriting loss(10) was $1.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively, compared to an underwriting loss of $39.1 million and $81.8 million for the same respective periods in 2019.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the non-GAAP operating results are primarily the result of underwriting results not covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement, specifically the run-off of AmTrust quota share business with losses occurring after December 31, 2018 (including the additional ceding commission paid under the Partial Termination Amendment) as well as claims related to the European Hospital Liability Quota Share.
In addition, as previously noted, the Company estimates that it incurred operating expenses of approximately $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, which it believes will not recur in future periods.
Similar to the reported GAAP results, the improvement in the non-GAAP operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily reflects the improved underwriting results described above.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and Other Financial Matters
The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2020. Additional information on the matters reported in this news release along with other required disclosures including risk factors related to COVID-19 can be found in that filing.
Total assets were $3.2 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2019. Shareholders' equity was $530.7 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $507.7 million at December 31, 2019. Adjusted shareholders' equity(2) was $642.3 million at June 30, 2020, compared to adjusted shareholders' equity of $620.7 million at December 31, 2019, reflecting the unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance of $111.5 million at June 30, 2020 and $113.0 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company has discontinued the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures such as combined ratio and its related components in this news release, as it believes that as the run-off of its reinsurance portfolios progresses, such ratios are increasingly not meaningful and of less value to readers as they evaluate the financial results of the Company. The Company has, for the time being, continued to utilize such non-GAAP measures on a quarterly basis in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Quarterly Dividends
The Company's Board of Directors did not authorize any quarterly dividends related to either its common shares or any series of its preferred shares.

The Company cautions that the list of important risk factors in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is not intended to be and is not exhaustive.

(1) Book value per common share is calculated using common shareholders’ equity (shareholders' equity excluding the aggregate liquidation value of our preference shares) divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Management uses growth in this metric as a prime measure of the value we are generating for our common shareholders, because management believes that growth in this metric ultimately results in growth in the Company’s common share price. This metric is impacted by the Company’s net income and external factors, such as interest rates, which can drive changes in unrealized gains or losses on our investment portfolio, as well as share repurchases.
 
(2) Adjusted Total Shareholders' Equity and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share: Management has adjusted GAAP shareholders' equity by adding the estimated unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance arising from the LPT/ADC Agreement relating to losses incurred subject to that agreement to shareholders' equity. As a result, by virtue of this adjustment, management has also computed the Adjusted Book Value per Common Share. The deferred gain represents amounts estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello and management believes adjusting for this shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement. We believe reflecting the economic benefit of this retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful for understanding future trends in our operations, which will improve shareholders' equity over the settlement period.
 
(3) Underwriting related general and administrative expenses is a non-GAAP measure and includes expenses which are segregated for analytical purposes as a component of underwriting loss.
 
(4) Underwriting loss is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net premiums earned plus other insurance revenue less net loss and LAE, commission and other acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses directly related to underwriting activities. For purposes of these non-GAAP operating measures, the fee-generating business which is included in our Diversified Reinsurance segment, is considered part of the underwriting operations of the Company. Management believes that this measure is important in evaluating the underwriting performance of the Company and its segments. This measure is also a useful tool to measure the profitability of the Company separately from the investment results and is also a widely used performance indicator in the insurance industry.
 
(5) Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted operating earnings (loss) per common share are non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding realized investment gains and losses, total other-than-temporary impairment losses, foreign exchange and other gains and losses, loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, income (loss) from NGHC Quota Share run-off and change in unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss). The Company's management believes that the use of non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and non-GAAP diluted operating earnings (loss) per common share enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze its performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. Management also believes that these measures generally follow industry practice therefore allowing the users of financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group, and that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow the Company, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income (loss).
 
(6) Non-GAAP operating return on average common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses non-GAAP operating return on average common shareholders' equity as a measure of profitability that focuses on the return to common shareholders. It is calculated using non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) divided by average common shareholders' equity.
 
(7) Investable assets is the total of the Company's investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to a related party and funds withheld receivable.
 
(8) Total capital resources is the sum of the Company's principal amount of debt and shareholders' equity.
 
(9) During a period of loss, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computation as the effect of including potential dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive.
 
(10) Non-GAAP net loss and LAE and Non-GAAP underwriting income (loss): Management has further adjusted the net loss and LAE and underwriting income (loss) (as defined above) by recognizing into income the unamortized deferred gain arising from the LPT/ADC Agreement relating to losses subject to that agreement. The deferred gain represents amounts estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello and management believes adjusting for this shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement on Maiden's underwriting income (loss). Management believes reflecting the economic benefit of this retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful for understanding future trends in our operations.
