the SEC earlier today, reporting its earnings and financial position for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Enstar reported consolidated net earnings of $12.1 million (or $0.83 per fully
diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $24.9 million
(or $1.78 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30,
2011, compared to $21.4 million (or $1.53 per fully diluted share) for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 and $49.8 million (or $3.57 per fully
diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

of $267.4 million) (or $71.68 per fully diluted share) at December 31, 2010.
Shareholders' equity increased at September 30, 2011 due primarily to the first

is available on Enstar's website, www.enstargroup.com, contains a more detailed

separated the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by appointing
current director Robert J. Campbell as the new Chairman of the Board of
Directors. Dominic F. Silvester will continue as Chief Executive Officer and a
director of Enstar.
