Our assessment is that these areas of strategic focus would enhance our profitability through increased returns, which would also increase the likelihood of fully utilizing the significant net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, as described further below, which would increase both GAAP book value and create additional common shareholder value.

The recognition of the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet remains a leading priority for the Company to increase its GAAP book value.

As a result of the Combination, as of September 30, 2025 , we invested $215.7 million into alternative investments which include equity securities, equity method investments and other investments in a wide variety of asset classes.

Please refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section on " Other Investments, Equity Method Investments and Equity Investments" for further information on these alternative asset classes and a detailed discussion of their investment returns.

Recent developments and trends in financial markets, particularly the ongoing volatility in interest rates and the associated economic uncertainty as a result of those and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, indicate that it may take longer than expected to achieve those returns and we expect that to factor into future capital allocation decisions.

Prior to the Combination, Maiden had determined that this asset management strategy did not serve its longer-term strategic goals, which had shifted to a focus on developing or acquiring fee income oriented insurance operations and had ceased making commitments to these alternative asset classes and had begun to dispose of these investments.

Accordingly, we expect our alternative investment portfolio to be reduced in future periods as we believe it is critical to reposition our balance sheet and increase our liquidity in support of the current initiatives being pursued.

We have not made, and do not expect to make any such additional commitments to alternative investments at this time.

While we believe that the Combination with Maiden will increase the likelihood of achieving our stated objectives, there can be no assurance that the run-off of its insurance liabilities will run-off at levels that will allow us to achieve those goals.

Key Financial Measures

In addition to our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance and the overall growth in value generated for the Company’s common shareholders.

Key Financial & Operating Measures

In addition to our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance and the overall growth in value generated for the Company’s common shareholders.

Management believes that these measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, explain the Company’s results to investors in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business.

4 unchanged sentences

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 should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S.

GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S.

GAAP net income (loss).

Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) is an internal performance measure used by management as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of the Company's operations by excluding, on a recurring basis:

(1) net realized investment gains (losses);

(1) net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses);

(2) foreign exchange and other gains (losses);

and (3) interest in income (loss) of equity method investments.

(3) interest in income (loss) of equity method investments;

and (4) amortization of intangible assets.

It also excludes on a non-recurring basis:

(1) loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax and;

(2) the bargain purchase gain resulting from the Combination Agreement, and (3) the change in the fair value of the earn out liability.

(2) restructuring and severance costs;

and (3) costs incurred due to the Combination on May 27, 2025.

We excluded net realized investment gains (losses), interest in income (loss) of equity method investments and foreign exchange and other gains (losses) as we believe these are influenced by market opportunities and other factors.

We do not believe the net loss from our discontinued operations, the bargain purchase gain on the Combination Agreement, and the change in fair value of the earn out liability are representative of our ongoing and future business.We believe all of these amounts are substantially independent of our business and any potential future underwriting process, therefore their inclusion would distort the analysis of underlying trends in our operations.

Underwriting and fee income 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.

Operating Metrics

Premium produced is an operating metric determined by management as a byproduct of the program services fees it earns and is paid by clients.

Premium produced is equal to the premium written by an MGA or capacity provider, and management believes this measure is important in understanding the underlying production trends of its Program Services business and the

fees it earns.

Where available, the Company utilizes underlying premium produced as reported by its clients.

Where the premium produced was not directly observable, the Company derived the premium produced by grossing up the known fee component using the applicable contractual fee percentage, including its arrangements with its insurance carrier partners.

As discussed in Part I, Item 1 - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) and "Note 15.

Business Combination" included in this Form 10-Q, the gain on bargain purchase of $73.6 million is the differential between the fair value of net assets of Maiden acquired on May 27, 2025 as a result of the Combination and the equity consideration effectively transferred to Maiden shareholders on that date.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows

Our sources of funds historically have consisted of premium receipts net of commissions and brokerage, investment income, net proceeds from capital raising activities, and proceeds from sales, maturities, pay downs and redemption of investments.

Cash is currently used primarily to pay loss and LAE, ceded reinsurance premium, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense, with the remainder in excess of our operating requirements made available to our investment managers for investment in accordance with our investment policy as well as for capital management such as repurchasing our shares.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we experienced negative operating cash flows as we run off the AmTrust Reinsurance Legacy Business reserves as shown in the cash flows table further below.

We currently expect a trend of positive investing cash flows through 2025, and we will use funds from cash and investment portfolios, fee revenue premiums, investment income and proceeds from investment sales and redemptions to meet our expected claims payments and operational expenses.

A significant portion of those liabilities are collateralized and claim payments will be funded by using this collateral which should provide sufficient funding to fulfill those obligations.

The Company’s management believes our current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months as we generally expect operating cash flows to be sufficiently offset by investing cash flows.

The consideration and related significant expenses associated with completing the combination has utilized substantial amounts of Maiden's current unrestricted liquidity.

While we continue to expect our cash flows to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements and to operate our business, as our reinsurance liabilities continue to run-off our balance sheet increasingly consists of more illiquid securities which we are seeking to dispose of for more liquid assets.

Our inability to monetize these illiquid assets on a timely basis while fulfilling our ongoing obligations may restrain our liquidity further and we may need to consider measures to ensure we continue to fulfill those obligations.

Further, while no new alternative asset commitments have been or will be made, Maiden's historical asset management strategy which was part of the Combination can be impacted by both investment specific and broader financial market

conditions and may not produce the expected liquidity and cash flows these investments are designed to achieve, or the timing thereof may also be impacted by those factors.

fiscal and trade policy while simultaneously, labor market conditions are noticeably weakening.

The impacts of these policies and conditions on both U.S.

Because we collateralize a significant portion of our insurance liabilities, unanticipated or large increases in interest rates could require us to utilize significant amounts of unrestricted cash and fixed maturity securities to provide additional collateral, which could impact our asset and capital management strategy described herein.

We also monitor the duration and structure of our investment portfolio as discussed below.

As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate 100 basis points increase in interest rates, assuming credit spreads remain constant, in our fixed maturity investments portfolio would decrease the fair value of that portfolio by $3.6 million.

We also monitor the duration and structure of our AFS fixed maturity investment portfolio as discussed below.

As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate 100 basis points increase in interest rates, assuming credit spreads remain constant, in our fixed maturity investments portfolio would decrease the fair value of that portfolio by $2.5 million.

Actual shifts in interest rates may not change by the same magnitude across the maturity spectrum or on an individual security and, as a result, the impact on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities may be materially different from the resulting change in value described above.

To limit our exposure to unexpected interest rate increases which would reduce the value of our fixed income securities and reduce our shareholders' equity, we attempt to maintain the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio combined with our cash and cash equivalents, both restricted and unrestricted, within a reasonable range of the duration of our loss reserves.

The differential in duration between these assets and liabilities may fluctuate over time and in the case of fixed maturities, historically has been affected by factors such as market conditions, changes in asset mix and prepayment speeds in the case of both our U.S.

agency mortgage-backed securities ("Agency MBS") and commercial mortgage-backed securities held.

At September 30, 2025, the duration of our loss reserves net of the LPT/ADC Agreement was higher than the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio.

The Company's reserve for loss and LAE decreased by $43.8 million or 6.9% primarily due to continuing settlement of loss reserves liabilities primarily for the legacy AmTrust Reinsurance contracts.

The funds withheld receivable decreased by 32.0% due to settlement of amounts due under International contracts.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $5.4 million or 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to an increase in reinsurance losses payable under the legacy AmTrust reinsurance agreements.

NOL Carryforwards

We believe the Combination and our ability to increase pre-tax income will create opportunities to utilize Maiden's NOL carryforwards that totaled $466.7 million at March 31, 2026.

Approximately $387.6 million of these NOL carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029.

As of March 31, 2026, $79.1 million or 16.9% of Maiden's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S.

The NOL carryforwards combined with additional net deferred tax assets ("DTA") primarily related to Maiden's insurance liabilities result in net U.S.

DTA (before valuation allowance) of $138.7 million or $17.73 per common share at March 31, 2026.

Maiden's net U.S.

DTA of $138.7 million is not presently recognized on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as a full valuation allowance is carried against it.

Kestrel LLC has NOL carryforwards of $9.6 million with no expiry date.

Additionally, Kestrel LLC has net DTA of $11.0 million or $1.40 per common share at March 31, 2026 , which mainly relates to tax basis intangibles, which is not presently recognized on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a full valuation allowance is carried against it.

At this time, the Company believes it is necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against both net DTA's as more evidence is needed regarding the utilization of these losses.

As circumstances further develop, we continuously evaluate the amount of the valuation allowance held against the net DTA.

For further details on the NOL carryforwards, please see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
