Book value per share and adjusted book value per share decreased by **2%** in Q1 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in the market price of the company's investment in MediaAlpha, a loss on assets held for sale for NSM's Fresh Insurance motor business, and transaction expenses at Ark[229](index=229&type=chunk) Adjusted Book Value Per Share | Metric | March 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | GAAP book value per share | $1,231.27 | $1,259.18 | | Adjusted book value per share (Non-GAAP) | $1,241.71 | $1,263.64 | -
