| Segment Information |
Segment Information The Company currently has two reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Bermuda, from AmTrust, primarily the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. In addition to our reportable segments, the results of operations of the former NGHC Quota Share segment have been included in the "Other" category. Please refer to "Note 8. Related Party Transactions" for additional information. As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance operations as discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" and "Note 6. Discontinued Operations", the Company revised the composition of its reportable segments. Previously, the underwriting results associated with the discontinued operations of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance business were included within the Diversified Reinsurance segment and the operating results associated with the remnants of the U.S. excess and surplus business were included within the Other category. These are now excluded and all prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to this new presentation. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit separately from the results of our investment portfolio. General and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments on an actual basis except salaries and benefits where management’s judgment is applied. The Company does not allocate general corporate expenses to the segments. In determining total assets by reportable segment, the Company identifies those assets that are attributable to a particular segment such as reinsurance balances receivable, deferred commission and other acquisition expenses, funds withheld receivable, loans and restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments. All remaining assets are allocated to Corporate. As discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" and "Note 8. Related Party Transactions", the Partial Termination Amendment and the termination of the remaining business with AmTrust effective January 1, 2019 resulted in a significant reduction in gross premiums written. This was due to the return of unearned premium on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Agreement, with no new business written in 2019 due to the termination of the remaining business within the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. The following tables summarize our reporting segment's underwriting results and the reconciliation of our reportable segments and Other category's underwriting results to our consolidated net (loss) income from continuing operations: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 | | Diversified Reinsurance | | AmTrust Reinsurance | | Other | | Total | Gross premiums written | | $ | 11,244 |
