Key Takeaways

The lower net loss compared to the previous quarter was due to lower loss and loss expenses and the partial reversal of the financial market disruption from the first quarter.

Adjusted loss was $24 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.

Book Value per Share increased to $23.34, while Adjusted Book Value per Share decreased to $21.06.
