________________
(1)Net loss and LAE expenses disposed of $1,840.1 million represent the net loss reserves as at May 20, 2022 (“Closing Date”) for losses in relation to 2019 and prior accident years, in addition to the $770.0 million of ceded reserves under the previous ADC agreement, recognizing a total recoverable of $2,610.1 million. These reserves were rolled forward from the initial effective date of September 30, 2021, at which time the net losses reserves were $3,120.0 million.
As at December 31, 2023, the total amount recoverable from Enstar under the LPT was $1,627.4 million (December 31, 2022 — $2,132.0 million) which includes claims paid and reserve development since the Closing Date.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, there was an increase of $60.8 million in the Company’s estimate of the ultimate claims to be paid in respect of prior accident years compared to an increase of $28.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
The following tables show an analysis of incurred claims and allocated loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance and cumulative paid claims and allocated claim adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2023. Under the LPT agreement, the Company has reinsured net losses incurred on all accident years 2019 and prior. This has resulted in IBNR in the loss development triangles for 2019 and prior to be Nil. The loss development triangles are derived from all business written by the Company as although a limited number of contracts are written which have durations of greater than one year the contracts do not meet the definition of a long duration contract. All amounts included in the following tables related to transactions denominated in a foreign currency have been translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2023.
The Company has chosen to disaggregate the business in its Insurance segment, for the purposes of these loss development triangles as: Property; Casualty; Marine Aviation and Energy; and Financial and Professional
insurance lines. The Company considers that this presentation of its Insurance lines loss development triangles more precisely reflects meaningful trending information. The Company presents its loss development triangles for the Reinsurance segment in line with the reportable reinsurance lines: Property Catastrophe and Other Property; Casualty; and Specialty.

Net favorable reserve development of $28.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily from the favorable movement of $29.5 million in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts, offset by unfavorable prior year development of $1.2 million on accident years 2020 onwards.
Insurance. Net unfavorable development of $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly due to the unfavorable movement of $17.6 million in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts, together with unfavorable development on post-LPT years of $0.6 million. Net unfavorable development of $38.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was mainly due to the unfavorable movement of $23.7 million in the deferred gain on retroactive contracts, together with unfavorable development on post-LPT years of $15.1 million.
