PRESS RELEASE

Maiden Holdings, Ltd. Announces
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

PEMBROKE, Bermuda, May 10, 2019 - Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ:  MHLD) ("Maiden" or the "Company") today reported a first quarter 2019 net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $36.6 million or $0.44 per diluted common share, compared to a net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $13.7 million or $0.16 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2018 . The non-GAAP operating loss (11) was $26.9 million , or $0.32 per diluted common share compared with a non-GAAP operating income of $5.8 million , or $0.07 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2018 .
Maiden's book value per common share (1) was $1.44 at March 31, 2019 , an increase of 33.3% from December 31, 2018 .
Consolidated Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2019
In the first quarter of 2019 , gross premiums written were $(561.1) million , compared to $623.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the termination of both quota share contracts in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment and the return of unearned premiums on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Agreement with AmTrust. As previously reported, both terminations were effective January 1, 2019. Net premiums earned were $183.1 million in first quarter 2019 , compared to $516.8 million in first quarter 2018 due to the combined impact of the terminated quota share contracts within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment and non-renewals in Maiden's European Capital Solutions business and a reduction in the German Auto programs produced by the Company's IIS unit within its Diversified Reinsurance segment.
First quarter 2019 net loss and loss adjustment expenses decreased to $152.7 million from $353.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 , due primarily to lower earned premiums for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. The first quarter 2019 loss ratio (6) was 83.0% compared to 67.9% reported in first quarter 2018 . The increase in the loss ratio was primarily due to a change in the mix of business resulting from the Partial Termination Amendment entered into with AmTrust. Prior year adverse loss development was $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2019 , compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2018 .
Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased to $69.6 million in first quarter 2019 , from $166.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to significantly lower earned premiums resulting from the terminations in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment. The commission and other acquisition expense ratio increased 5.9 points to 37.9% for the first quarter of 2019 from 32.0% for the same period in 2018 as a result of the additional ceding commission agreed to as part of the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2019 totaled $15.9 million , compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 . Non-recurring expenses were $3.0 million during the first quarter of 2019 , primarily related to salaries and related benefits for headcount reductions occurring in 2019 . The general and administrative expense ratio (8) in the first quarter of 2019 increased to 8.7% from 3.0% in first quarter 2018 primarily as a result of lower earned premiums, while the total expense ratio (9) was 46.6% in first quarter 2019 compared with 35.0% for the same period last year.
The combined ratio (10) for first quarter 2019 totaled 129.6% , compared with 102.9% in first quarter 2018 .
First quarter 2019 net investment income decreased modestly to $32.0 million from $32.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 largely due to the decline in average yield to 3.1% from 3.2% in the same period in 2018 .
Additional information regarding the Company’s results of operations can be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing made concurrent with this news release.

The Company's management believes that non-GAAP operating (loss) income is a useful indicator of trends in the Company's underlying operations. The Company's measure of non-GAAP operating (loss) income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
(12) Non-GAAP operating return on average common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure.
