AUSTIN, Texas, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kestrel Group Ltd (NASDAQ: KG) ("Kestrel" or the "Company") a leading specialty insurance platform that provides fronting services to program managers, reinsurers, and reinsurance brokers, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Key Highlights – First Quarter 2026 Financials Program Services net fee income was $1.6 million Premium produced(1) by Program Services clients was $94.2 million Total revenues were $10.2 million Net premiums earned were $3.2 million As of March 31, 2026, the Company's book value per common share was $15.52 Net loss from continuing operations was $7.0 million, or a loss of $0.90 per share Commenting on the results, Kestrel's Chief Executive Officer, Luke Ledbetter, stated, "The first quarter demonstrated continued momentum in our Program Services segment, with fee revenue and premiums produced up materially year-over-year. As we look across the broader fronting market, we continue to believe Kestrel is well-positioned, and our balance sheet light model allows us to focus on disciplined growth." Program Services Segment The Program Services segment provides fronting services to general agents and insurance carriers to leverage Kestrel's trusted reputation to provide access to the U.S. property and casualty insurance market and insurance paper rated "A-" (Excellent) A.M. Best rating and expansive licenses in exchange for fees. Kestrel issues the policy through exclusive use of four insurance carriers, and those carriers presently retain and reinsure the risk.

Premium produced(1) by client programs during the first quarter of 2026 totaled $94.2 million, a 303.6% increase over the first quarter of 2025. Legacy Reinsurance Segment The Legacy Reinsurance segment consists of the AmTrust Reinsurance and Diversified Reinsurance segments previously reported by Maiden Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden") prior to the Combination with Kestrel. The AmTrust portion of this segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust. The Diversified portion of this segment consists of a run-off portfolio of predominantly third-party property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe, as well as business produced by Maiden LF and Maiden GF along with transactions entered into by Genesis Legacy Solutions. During the first quarter of 2026, the Legacy Reinsurance segment produced an underwriting loss of $3.3 million. The underwriting loss in the first quarter of 2026 included $2.4 million of losses related to the segment's AmTrust business and $0.9 million of losses related to the Diversified business. The AmTrust business reported an underwriting loss of $1.9 million for the current accident year in the first quarter of 2026 as the run-off of certain remaining multiple year policies continues. In addition, there was approximately $0.6 million in adverse prior period loss development ("PPD") during the first quarter of 2026. Net adverse PPD was due to an adjustment for greater than expected amount of earned exposure in 2025 that was reported in the three months ended March 31, 2026 on Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty business in the AmTrust Quota Share, and a modest reduction in recoveries anticipated under the Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited. The results for the segment's Diversified business largely reflect the ongoing run-off of the Company's international operations. Investment Activities and Other Gains The Company reported combined income from investment activities totaling $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, resulting from net investment income of $2.6 million and net realized and unrealized investment gains of $1.3 million, the latter of which was substantially from Maiden's legacy alternative asset portfolio. Also, during the first quarter, the Company recognized foreign exchange and other gains of $2.2 million. This included $2.0 million of net foreign exchange gains due to appreciation of the U.S. dollar on the re-measurement of net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities denominated in the British pound and euro; and a $0.2 million gain from the revaluation of a contingent receivable in the insurance distribution industry. General and Administrative Expenses Total general and administrative expenses were $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. First quarter 2026 expenses include approximately $3.0 million in expenses that are annual in nature or are adjustments to previously accrued amounts that are not expected to recur during the remainder of 2026. In addition, during the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded $0.8 million in expenses related to fair value adjustments recognized at the time of its combination with Maiden. Balance Sheet Total assets were $964.2 million at March 31, 2026, and shareholders' equity was $121.4 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has available net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $476.3 million for income tax purposes. Approximately $387.6 million of NOL carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $88.7 million or 18.6% of the Company's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S. tax law.

Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $10.2 million. Total revenues for 2025 were $34.0 million(2). Net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $16.4 million, or a loss of $2.12 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $4.1 million, or a loss of $0.53 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was negatively impacted by a series of significant non-recurring or one-time items including: An adjustment of $5.3 million to reduce the bargain purchase gain recorded as a result of the Combination with Maiden based on revised information that impacted the fair value of an asset; Legal and other professional fees associated with the Company's previously disclosed arbitration totaling $2.0 million; and Restructuring and related severance costs associated with various headcount reductions in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaling $0.8 million. Non-GAAP operating loss was $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, including the impact of non-recurring items above. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further details. In addition to the non-GAAP operating loss the fourth quarter 2025 included certain one-time charges of $0.5 million associated with the commutation of a reinsurance contract in the Company's International Insurance Services business, and expenses for certain legal matters of $0.2 million. Program Services Segment The Program Services segment provides fronting services to general agents and insurance carriers to leverage Kestrel's trusted reputation to provide access to the U.S. property and casualty insurance market and insurance paper rated "A-" (Excellent) A.M. Best rating and expansive licenses in exchange for fees. Kestrel issues the policy through exclusive use of four insurance carriers, and those carriers presently retain and reinsure the risk. The Company continues to actively pursue reinsurance mechanisms with its existing partners that would selectively deploy the Company's underwriting capacity that it believes could facilitate and accelerate both its fee and premium revenue growth. In the fourth quarter of 2025, total fee revenues from the Program Services segment were $3.1 million, which represents a 91.5% sequential increase compared to the third quarter of 2025. These revenues are derived from fees from both new and existing client programs. Premium produced by client programs during the fourth quarter 2025 totaled $93.8 million, a 79.2% increase over the third quarter 2025. Year to date 2025 premium produced by client programs totaled $188.3 million, an 81.4% increase over the $103.8 million in premium produced by client programs in 2024. This resulted in $6.1 million of fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, a 67.2% increase compared with $3.6 million for 2024. Legacy Reinsurance Segment The Legacy Reinsurance segment consists of the AmTrust Reinsurance and Diversified Reinsurance segments previously reported by Maiden prior to the Combination with Kestrel. The AmTrust portion of this segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust. The Diversified portion of this segment consists of a run-off portfolio of predominantly third-party property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe, as well as business produced by Maiden LF and Maiden GF along with transactions entered into by GLS. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Legacy Reinsurance segment produced an underwriting loss of $7.6 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The underwriting loss in the fourth quarter included $3.2 million of losses related to the segment's AmTrust business and $4.3 million of losses related to the Diversified business, which included $3.3 million in non-recurring charges. The AmTrust business reported an underwriting loss of $2.9 million for the current accident year in the fourth quarter of 2025 as the run-off of certain multiple year policies continues. In addition, there was approximately $0.4 million in adverse prior period loss development ("PPD") during the fourth quarter of 2025. Net adverse PPD consisted of $4.8 million from the AmTrust Quota Share, which was largely offset by an increase of $4.2 million in the amount recoverable under the Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited. AmTrust's Hospital Liability business experienced modestly favorable development of approximately $0.3 million which was offset by adverse development on older excess of loss coverages. PPD in the Master Quota Share largely emanated from AmTrust's international structural defect and warranty business. More modest adverse development in U.S. small commercial and program business was substantially offset by continuing favorable development in Workers' Compensation and other lines of business. The results for the segment's Diversified business include $2.8 million in non-recurring expenses related to aforementioned arbitration and employee separation matters, as well as an additional non-recurring net charge of $0.5 million related to final accounting and commutation of an IIS-related reinsurance contract. Excluding these non-recurring charges, the adjusted underwriting loss for the fourth quarter was $1.0 million, which reflects the ongoing run-off of the Company's international operations. Investment Activities and Other Gains The Company reported combined income from investment activities totaling $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, resulting from net investment income of $3.3 million and realized and unrealized investment gains of $0.4 million, the latter of which was from Maiden's legacy alternative asset portfolio. Also, during the fourth quarter, the Company recognized foreign exchange and other gains of $0.4 million. This included a gain of $0.9 million in the revaluation of a contingent receivable in the insurance distribution industry partly offset by net foreign exchange losses due to depreciation of the U.S dollar on the re-measurement of net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities denominated in the British pound and euro. General and Administrative Expenses Excluding general and administrative expenses allocated to segments, and non-recurring expenses for certain legal matters that were $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, corporate general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million, reflecting elevated levels of certain costs such as legal and professional fees related to ongoing litigation and other legal matters. Balance Sheet Total assets were $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025, and shareholders' equity was $128.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has available net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $473.1 million for income tax purposes. Approximately $388.7 million of NOL carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $84.4 million or 17.8% of the Company's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S. tax law.

Best rating and expansive licenses in exchange for ceding fees. Kestrel issues the policy through exclusive use of four insurance carriers, and the reinsurer assumes the risk. In the third quarter of 2025, total fee revenues from the Program Services segment were $1.6 million, derived from fees from both new and existing client programs. Increased premium volume accounted for $1.1 million of fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Company continues to actively pursue reinsurance mechanisms with its existing partners that would selectively deploy the Company's underwriting capacity and facilitate and accelerate both its fee and premium revenue growth. Legacy Reinsurance Segment The Legacy Reinsurance segment consists of the AmTrust Reinsurance and Diversified Reinsurance segments previously reported by Maiden prior to the Combination with Kestrel. The AmTrust portion of this segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust. The Diversified portion of this segment consists of a run-off portfolio of predominantly third-party property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe, as well as business produced by Maiden LF and Maiden GF along with transactions entered into by GLS. During the third quarter, the Legacy Reinsurance segment produced an underwriting loss of $9.0 million, of which $7.6 million related to that segment's AmTrust business. The AmTrust business reported approximately $6.9 million in adverse prior period loss development ("PPD"), of which $4.7 million related to AmTrust's Hospital Liability business as well as a reduction of $3.6 million in the amount recoverable under the Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement"). These amounts were offset by favorable development in Workers' Compensation and other lines of business. The segment's Diversified business produced an underwriting loss of $1.4 million resulting from favorable PPD of $0.3 million and higher expenses due to the run-off of various programs within that business. Investment Activities and Other Gains The Company also reported combined income from investment activities totaling $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, resulting from net investment income of $3.5 million and realized and unrealized investment gains of $5.5 million, the latter of which was from Maiden's legacy alternative asset portfolio. Also, during the third quarter, the Company recognized foreign exchange and other gains of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to appreciation of the U.S dollar on the re-measurement of net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities denominated in the British pound and euro. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $10.8 million, reflecting elevated levels of one-time costs such as transaction, insurance and legal fees, severance expenses and increased consulting fees. Through strategic cost management initiatives and the non-recurring nature of certain one-time items totaling $1.9 million during the third quarter, the Company believes general and administrative will trend lower in future quarters. Balance Sheet Total assets were $1.1 billion at September 30, 2025, and shareholders' equity was $143.8 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has available net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $446.6 million for income tax purposes. Approximately $365.3 million of NOL carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $81.3 million or 18.2% of the Company's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S. tax law.
