2. BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Enstar Group Limited is a leading global (re)insurance group that offers innovative capital release solutions through its network of group companies in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, Belgium and Australia. 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 a fair statement of the financial results for the interim periods. 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 2024 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-09 - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which includes the following amendments to Topic 740 Income Taxes:
Disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation;
Disclose, on an annual basis, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate);
Disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes;
Disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received);
Disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign;
Disclose income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign;
Eliminates the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made; and
Eliminates the requirement to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures.
These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted.
Adopting ASU 2023-09 will require us to expand our income tax disclosures. We will prospectively adopt this ASU within our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ASU 2024-03 - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which resulted in the addition of Subtopic 220-40 Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures and includes the following amendments:
Disclose the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and certain other costs and expenses included in each relevant expense caption and include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under existing generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure;
Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and
Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, on an annual basis, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and must be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted.
Adopting ASU 2024-03 will require us to expand our disclosures related to costs and expenses. We are currently determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.
