HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated and all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods have been reflected. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 filed on March 14, 202213, 2023 (the “2021“2022 Form 10-K”).

Significant accounting policies

a)
Income Taxes

During a third quarter assessment of the Company's deferred tax position, a valuation allowance of $10.7 million was recorded against the Company's deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2022. Based on the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 953(d) election made for Osprey Re, the Company's captive reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda, the Company concluded a valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets was necessary because those net deferred tax assets can only be applied to offset future taxable income of Osprey Re. Based on current available evidence, management does not believe there will be sufficient future Osprey Re taxable income over the next year in order to realize those net deferred tax assets. In the event Osprey Re recognizes future taxable income, the proportionate amount of the net operating loss carryforward will be used and an equivalent amount of the valuation allowance will reverse.

b)
Changes to Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to condensedthe consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of cashflows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" . The ASU i)simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models, and amends certain disclosures, ii) amends and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity's own equity, including share-based compensation, and iii) amends the diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The if-converted method will be the only permissible method for computing the dilutive effect of the convertible debt instruments. Interest expense no longer includes amortization of debt discount. The Company adopted the guidance of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, reporting no material impact to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements or disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “2022-02 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU 2022-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2023 and will provide the required disclosures, if determined to be material.

The Company has documented the summary of its significant accounting policies in its Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements annual report oncontained in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies since the filing of that report.

8


No other new accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effectiveadopted, have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company’s unrealized losses on corporate bonds have not been recognized into earnings because the bonds are of a high credit quality with investment grade ratings. The average rating was an A+ for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The unrealized losses are deemed to be caused by interest rates rising after the bonds were purchased and no credit loss allowance was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company completes a detailed analysis each quarter to assess whetherCompany’s unrealized losses on corporate bonds have not been recognized because the decline in the fair value of any investment below its cost basis is the resultbonds are of a high credit loss. All available-for-sale securitiesquality with unrealized losses are reviewed.investment grade ratings. The average rating was an A+ for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company considers

10


many factors in completing its quarterly review ofdoes not intend to sell and it is unlikely the Company will be required to sell the securities with unrealized losses for credit-related impairmentprior to determine whether a credit loss exists, including the extent to which fair value is below cost, the implied yield to maturity, rating downgrades of the securitytheir anticipated recovery, and whether or not the issuer has failed to make scheduled principal or interest payments. The Company also takes into consideration information about the financial condition of the issuer and industry factors that could negatively impact the capital markets.

If the decline in fair value of an available-for-sale security below its amortized cost is considereddeemed due to bechanges in interest rates and other market conditions. The debt issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the result of a credit loss,bonds. After taking into account these and other factors previously described, the Company comparesbelieves these unrealized losses generally were caused by an increase in market interest rates since the estimated present value oftime the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. For the threesecurities were purchased and nine months ending September 30, 2022, management concluded that the decline in the fair value was not as a result of credit losses but rather as a direct result fromlosses.

No credit loss allowance was recorded for the increase insix months ended June 30, 2023 or for the market interest rates. Therefore, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 oryear ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Quarterly, the Company considers whether it intends to sell an available-for-sale security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized costs. In these instances, a decline in fair value is recognized in net income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company is required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets/liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in the markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of SeptemberAt June 30, 2022 or2023 and December 31, 2021.2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, and 3.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the

11


event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The tables below present the balances of the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Financial Instruments excluded from the fair value hierarchy

The carrying value of premium receivables, and accounts payable, accrued expense, revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility bear interest resets periodically at market interest rates.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

The Company determines theAssets and liabilities that are measured at fair value of the goodwill andon a non-recurring basis include intangible assets using a combination of a discounted cash flow approachwhich are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates and market approaches, which contain significant unobservable inputs and thereforeassumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate.to be impaired.

For the yearthree and six months ended December 31, 2021,June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment following its annual valuation review of approximately $61 million. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recognized an impairment in other investments of approximately $1.0 million for a loss measurement based on the estimateddifference between the acquisition costs and current fair value (less any prior impairment loss that security previously recognized) on certain equity method investments. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are also in net realized (losses) gains and impairment losses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are not reversed.

Certain of the Company’s investments are measured in accordance with GAAP for the type of investment, using methodologies other than fair value. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment for named intangible assets related to certain brands and customer relations within the Company's ownership interest. Duringrestoration service provider with a net value of $766,600, which were impaired due to the second quarterdiscontinuation of providing restoration services to the Company’s policyholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Managementmanagement concluded that it had a full impairment of its remaining goodwill and that theits carrying value of $92.0 million should be written off based on the following factors: (i) disruptions in the equity markets, specifically for property and casualty insurance companies, largely due to recent weather-related catastrophe events; (ii) elevated loss ratios for property insurers in the Company'sour markets; and (iii) the Company's market cap was below book value.

NOTE 5. LEASES

The Company has entered into operating and financing leases primarily for real estate and vehicles. The Company will determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement. The operating leases have terms of one to ten years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from two to ten years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company considers these options in determining the lease term used in establishing the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease obligations. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Because the rate implicit in each operating lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine present value of the lease payments. The Company used the implicit rates within the finance leases.

Components of the Company’s lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred federal income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred taxes for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax return basis of assets and liabilities.

16


Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which the Company has already recorded the tax benefit in its income statement. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company's financial statements for which payment has been deferred or expenditures for which the Company has already taken a deduction in its tax return but have not yet been recognized in its financial statements. Under GAAP the Company is required to evaluate the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if necessary to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the amount of such allowances.

The Company establishes or adjusts valuation allowances for deferred tax assets when it estimates that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be insufficient to realize the value of the deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates all significant available positive and negative evidence as part of its analysis. Negative evidence includes the existence of losses in recent years. Positive evidence includes the forecast of future taxable income and tax-planning strategies that would result in the realization of deferred tax assets. The underlying assumptions its uses in forecasting future taxable income require significant judgment and take into account the Company's recent performance. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible or creditable. If actual experience differs from these estimates and assumptions, the recognized deferred tax asset value may not be fully realized, resulting in an increase to income tax expense in its results of operations.

As of September 30, 2022. the Company recognized a valuation allowance of $10.7 million against the net deferred tax assets generated at its foreign domiciled captive reinsurer, Osprey Re. The Company can only realize those net deferred tax assets to the extent Osprey Re contributes future taxable income to the consolidated group. Management believes there is not sufficient evidence at the current time to realize the Osprey Re net deferred tax assets within the next calendar year. The valuation allowance is accounted for as an increase to income tax expense for the quarter. Osprey Re’s future taxable income can be used to apply against its net deferred tax assets to reduce taxable income and the valuation allowance will decrease proportionately resulting in a reduction of income tax expense. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and its effective tax rate in the future.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, the Company recorded aincome tax provisions of $5.9 million and $563,000, respectively, which corresponds to effective tax rates of 43.0% and (0.6)%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $9.1 million and an income tax benefit of $1.1 million and $1.110.1 million, respectively, which corresponds to effective tax rates of 2.229.4% and 6.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $11.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, which corresponds to effective tax rates of 6.3% and 18.17.8%, respectively. The effective tax ratesrate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a valuation allowance related to certain tax elections made by Osprey Re, the Company’s captive reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda. The Company re-evaluates the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $863,000. The effective tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 werewas impacted by the mostly non-deductible goodwill impairment charge taken in the second quarter of 2022 described in Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets as well as the valuation allowance described above. Effective tax rates are dependent upon components of pre-tax earnings and the related tax effects. The effective tax rate for each period was also affected by various permanent tax differences, including disallowed executive compensation deductions which was further limited in 2018 and future years upon the enactment of H.R.1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”).differences. Additionally, the state effective income tax rate can also fluctuate as a result of changes in the geographic dispersion of the Company’s business. Finally, theThe effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the tax provision for each quarter are updated as more information becomes available throughout the year.

NOTE 12. REINSURANCE

Overview

In order to limit the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, the Company purchases significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of the Company’s largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 20212023 and 2022, the Company purchased reinsurance from the following sources: (i) the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe fund (“FHCF”) for Florida admitted market policies only, (ii) private reinsurers, all of which were rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized, and (iii) the Company’s captive wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”Osprey Re”). Additionally, for theThe Company also sponsored catastrophe bonds in 2023 and 2022 hurricane season, the Company purchased a portion of the Company's catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program fromthrough Citrus Re Ltd. (“Citrus Re), a Bermuda special purpose insurer, formed in 2014,which provides an alternative to traditional reinsurance through the 2022-1 notes, which coverissuance of catastrophe losses incurred for specific states.bonds. In addition to purchasing excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchased quota share, property per risk and facultative reinsurance. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative reinsurance to supplement its per risk reinsurance program where the Company capacity needs dictate.

Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of the risk exposure on policies the Company writes to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that the Company’s reinsurers are

18


unable to meet the obligations they assume under the Company’s reinsurance agreements, the Company remains liable for the entire insured loss.

The Company’s reinsurance agreements are prospective contracts. The Company records an asset, prepaid reinsurance premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of the Company’s new reinsurance agreements. The Company generally amortizes its catastrophe reinsurance premiums ratably over the 12-month contract period, which is June 1 through May 31. Its quota share reinsurance is amortized over the 12-month contract period and may be purchased on a calendar or fiscal year basis.

In the event that the Company incurs losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable under its reinsurance program, the Company records amounts recoverable from its reinsurers on paid losses plus an estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses. The estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses is a function of its liability for unpaid losses associated with the reinsured policies; therefore, the amount changes in conjunction with any changes to its estimate of unpaid losses. As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that an estimated recovery may change significantly in the near term from the amounts included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s insurance regulators require all insurance companies, like us,the Company, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage in order to cover losses and loss adjustment expenses upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event. The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of its state regulator requirements, which are based on the probable maximum loss that it would incur from an individual catastrophic event estimated to occur once in every 100 years based on its portfolio of insured risks. The nature, severity and location of the event giving rise to such a probable maximum loss differs for each insurer depending on the insurer’s portfolio of insured risks, including, among other things, the geographic concentration of insured value within such portfolio. As a result, a particular catastrophic event could be a one-in-100-year loss event for one insurance company while having a greater or lesser probability of occurrence for another insurance company. The Company also purchases

reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. The Company shares portions of its reinsurance program coverage among its insurance company affiliates.

2022-20232023 - 2024 Reinsurance Program

Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance

Effective June 1, 2022,2023, the Company entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements covering Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”) and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”). The catastrophe reinsurance programs are allocated among traditional reinsurers, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), Citrus Re Ltd., and Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”), the Company’s captive reinsurer.Re. The FHCF covers Florida admitted market risks only and the Company elected to participate at 90% for the 20222023 hurricane season. Additionally, for Florida admitted market risks, the Company also has reinsurance from the Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders (“RAP”) program created by the Florida legislature, which provides reinsurance at no cost to the Company. Osprey Re will provide reinsurance for a portion of the Heritage P&C, NBIC and Zephyr programs. The Company’s third-party reinsurers are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or S&P or are fully collateralized, to reduce credit risk. Osprey Re isand Citrus Re are fully collateralized.collateralized programs.

The reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects the Company for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The 2022-20232023-2024 reinsurance program provides first event coverage up to $1.31.1 billion for Heritage P&C, first event coverage up to $1.21.3 billion for NBIC, and first event coverage up to $780.0870.0 million for Zephyr. The Company’s first event retention in a 1 in 100-year event would include retention for the respective insurance company as well as any retention by Osprey. The first event maximum retention up to a 1 in 100-year event for each insurance company subsidiary is as follows: Heritage P&C – $40.0 million, of which $35.040.0 million would be ceded to Osprey; NBIC – $30.0 million of which $30.030 million would be ceded to Osprey in a shared contract with Zephyr; and Zephyr – $40.040 million, of which $30.030 million would be ceded to Osprey in a shared contract with NBIC.

The Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of the Company'sour reinsurance program. For second or subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of $3.22.9 billion of limit purchased in 20222023 includes reinstatement through the purchase of reinstatement premium protection. The amount of coverage, however, will be subject to the severity and frequency of such events.

The Company's estimated net cost for the 2022-2023 catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance programs was approximately $359.5 million. This cost estimate is based on projected exposures for which there is a true up as of August 31, 2022.

Additionally, the Company placed an occurrence contract for business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 31, 2021,2022, expiringDecember 31, 20222023. The limit on the contract is 70% placed with a $15.0 million limit in excess of a retention of $25.0 million, with the remaining 30% placed with a $20.0 million withlimit in excess of a retention of $20.0 million, and haswith one reinstatement available.

The Company placed an aggregate contract for the Company’s business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 1, 2021,2022, expiring March 31, 20222023. The limit on the contract is $20.0 million with an aggregate retention of $21.0 million, with a $21.0 million per occurrence cap, and a $1.02.0 million franchise deductible.

The Company’s Net Quota Share coverage is proportional reinsurance, which applies to business underwritten by NBIC, for which certain of the Company’s other reinsurance (property catastrophe excess of loss and the second layer of the general excess of loss) inures to the quota share program. An occurrence limit of $20.0 million for catastrophe losses is in effect on the quota share program, subject to certain aggregate loss limits that vary by reinsurer. The amount and rate of ceding commissions slide, within a prescribed minimum and maximum, depending on loss performance. The Net Quota Share program was renewed on December 31, 20212022 ceding 50.041.0% of the net premiums and losses and 516.0% of the prior year quota share is in run off.

Per Risk Coverage

For losses arising from business underwritten by Heritage P&C and losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, excluding losses from named storms, the Company purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1.0 million per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is $9.0 million and total limit for all losses is $27.0 million. There are two reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. For losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, the Company also purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustments expenses in excess of $750,000 per claim.

NOTE 13. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES

The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date. The

20


Company estimates its IBNR reserves by projecting its ultimate losses using industry accepted actuarial methods and then deducting actual loss payments and case reserves from the projected ultimate losses. Hurricane Ian struck Florida as a strong Category 4 hurricane on September 28, 2022. Gross catastrophe losses from Hurricane Ian are estimated to be of $655.4 million with net retained losses of $40.0 million. Gross losses from Hurricane Irma caused an increase in the ending balance as indicated below.

On November 7, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the revolving credit facility from $75 million to $50 million, (ii) establish a new $25 million term loan facility to refinance loans outstanding under the existing revolving credit facility and to pay fees, costs and expenses related

21


thereto, (iii) reduce, from $50 million to $25 million, the aggregate amount of potential future increases to the revolving credit facility commitments and/or term loan commitments, (iii) modify the amortization of the existing term loan facility and new term loan facility to 10% per annum, paid quarterly, and (iii) increase the applicable margin for loans under the Credit Agreement to a range from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum for SOFR loans (plus a 0.10% credit adjustment spread) and based on a leverage ratio (an increase from the prior range of 2.50% to 3.00%). The Seventh Amendment also modified certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement which may limit the Company’s flexibility in connection with future financing transactions and in the allocation of capital in the future, including the Company’s ability to pay dividends and make stock repurchases, and contribute capital to its insurance subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Agreement. For additional information regarding the changes to the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement, refer to Part II, Item 5, “Other Information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) afive-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the revolving credit facility) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

As amended by the Seventh Amendment, theThe principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021, and increasing to $2.4 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan Facility matures on July 28, 2026. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there was $66.584.4 million in aggregate principal outstanding onunder the Term Loan Facility and as of November 7, 2022, after giving effect to the additional term loan advance that was used to refinance amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto, there was $73.910 million in aggregate principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made principal payments of approximately $4.8 million and $1.8 million and interest payments of $3.4 million and $783,400, respectively, on the Term Loan Facility.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made principal and interest payments of approximately $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively and for the comparable period of 2021, the Company made interest payments of approximately $1.5 million on the Term Loan Facility.

On May 4, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors amended the Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) by entering into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent.

Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio included in the Credit Agreement will be calculated based on the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth, rather than the Company’s consolidated net worth as was required under the existing Credit Agreement.

After giving effect to Seventh Amendment, asAs of the date of this report, the Company was in compliance with the applicable terms of all its covenants and other requirements under the Credit Agreement, Convertible Notes, indenture, cash borrowings and other loans. The Company’s ability to secure future debt financing depends, in part, on its ability to remain in such compliance. The covenants in the Credit Agreement may limit the Company’s flexibility in connection with future financing transactions and in the allocation of capital in the future, including the Company’s ability to pay dividends and make stock repurchases, and contribute capital to its insurance subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Agreement.

The covenants and other requirements under the revolving agreement represent the most restrictive provisions that the Company is subject to with respect to its long-term debt.20

NOTE 16. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATIONS

State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as the Company’s insurance subsidiaries. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital, restrict insurers’ ability to pay dividends, restrict the allowable investment types and investment mixes, and subject the Company’s insurers to assessments.

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C, NBIC,&C)”, Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”), and Pawtucket Insurance Company (“PIC”) must maintain capital and surplus ratios or balances as determined by the regulatory authority of the states in which they are domiciled. Heritage P&C is required to maintain capital and surplus equal to thegreater of $1515.0 million or 10% of theirits respective liabilities.liabilities. Zephyr is required to maintain a deposit of $750,000 in a federally insured financial institution. NBIC is required to maintain capital and surplus of $3.0 million. The combined statutory surplus for Heritage P&C, Zephyr, NBIC and PICNBIC was $261.4262.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and $302.1276.3 million at December 31, 2021.2022. State law also requires the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to adhere to prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratios, and risk-based capital requirements with which the Company isCompany's insurance subsidiaries are in compliance. At SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries met the financial and regulatory requirements of each of the states in which they conduct business.

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period that it determines an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and it can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to its estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that the Company receives regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in the awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation.

The Company’s Florida insurance company affiliate is required to enter into a reinsurance contract with the FHCF for a portion of its catastrophe risk transfer each year. Since the Company’s inception in 2012, few catastrophic events have resulted in losses which pierced the FHCF layer and resulted in reimbursements from the FHCF. To date, losses from only Hurricane Irma, which struck in 2017, and Hurricane Ian, which struck in 2022, have triggered the Company’s FHCF coverage. The Company’s 2017 reinsurance agreement with the FHCF is consistent among Florida insurance companies and requires a commutation no later than 60 months after the end of the contract year, which the commutation process began in June 2023. This commutation represents an agreement between Heritage and the FHCF to terminate the 2017 reinsurance agreement and agree on the conditions under which all obligations for both parties are discharged. The terms of the 2017 reinsurance agreement with the FHCF provide for the commutation process as well as the process to settle any disagreements as to the present value of outstanding losses that will serve as the basis for determining the

21


amount payable by FHCF upon termination of the reinsurance agreement. The commutation process is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023. The Company cannot predict whether the loss estimates determined by Heritage and the loss estimates determined by the FHCF will differ. As such, there is no assurance that the reported reinsurance recoverable for Hurricane Irma losses from the FHCF will differ from the final amount that will be paid by the FHCF. Further, social inflation and the litigated claims environment in the State of Florida, which affected Hurricane Irma claims could result in adverse development of these claims, which create uncertainty as to the ultimate cost to settle the remaining Hurricane Irma claims. Accordingly, the final amount that will be paid by the FHCF could vary from the Company’s current or future estimation of losses to be recovered from the FHCF. The commutation process will be final and binding on both parties once complete.

NOTE 18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time the Company has been party to various related party transactions involving certain of its officers, directors and significant stockholders, including as set forth below.

NOTE 22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined there were no recognized or unrecognized subsequent events that would require an adjustment or additional disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

On November 7, 2022, Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary guarantors (together, the “Company”) amended that certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) by entering into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) with the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, and Regions Bank, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.

The Seventh Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the revolving credit facility from $75 million to $50 million, (ii) establish a new $25 million term loan facility to refinance loans outstanding under the existing revolving credit facility and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto, (iii) reduce, from $50 million to $25 million, the aggregate amount of potential future increases to the revolving credit facility commitments and/or term loan commitments, (iii) modify the amortization of the existing term loan facility and new term loan facility to 10% per annum, paid quarterly, and (iii) increase the applicable margin for loans under the Credit Agreement to a range from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum for SOFR loans (plus a 0.10% credit adjustment spread) and based on a leverage ratio (an increase from the prior range of 2.50% to 3.00%).

The Seventh Amendment also modifies certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement which may limit the Company’s flexibility in connection with future financing transactions and in the allocation of capital in the future. Specifically, starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Seventh Amendment amends certain financial covenants as follows: (1) require additional leverage ratios under the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) after the initial step down to 2.50x in the second quarter of 2023 not to exceed 2.25x as of the second quarter of 2024 and 2.00x as of the second quarter of 2025, (2) apply all (A) Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (B) fee forgiveness & other capital contributions to the Company’s regulated insurance companies that are not a party to the Credit Agreement (“Non-credit Parties”) that exceed $38 million, when calculating (i) Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is required to be not less than $100 million plus 50% of positive quarterly net income (including its subsidiaries and regulated subsidiaries) plus the net cash proceeds of any equity transactions and (ii) Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is required to be 1.20x. The Seventh Amendment also (A) eliminates the current $10 million basket available to the Company to pay dividends to its shareholders or to repurchase its securities, (B) provides for a dividend of up to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 under certain conditions and (C) restricts future dividends based on maintenance of certain financial ratios, including Consolidated Tangible

2724


Net Worth. As a result, going forward, dividends and stock repurchases may be limited or restricted entirely and the Company’s ability to contribute capital to its insurance subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Agreement may be limited.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (“20212022 Form 10-K”). Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “our Company”, and similar references refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company that primarily provides personal and commercial residential insurance products across our multi-state footprint. We provide personal residential insurance in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia and commercial residential insurance in Florida, New Jersey, and New York. We provide personal residential insurance in Florida on both an admitted and non-admitted basis and in California on a non-admitted basis. As a vertically integrated insurer, we control or manage substantially all aspects of risk management, underwriting, claims processing and adjusting, actuarial rate making and reserving, customer service, and distribution. Our financial strength ratings are important to us in establishing our competitive position and can impact our ability to write policies.

Trends

Inflation, Underwriting and Pricing

We continue to address rising reinsurance and loss costs in the property insurance sector through continued implementation of increased rates, resulting in an increase in the average premium per policy of 13.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year quarter. New rates, which are subject to approval by our regulators, become effective when a policy is written or renewed, and the premium is earned pro rata over the policy period of one year. As a result of this timing, it can take up to twenty-four months for the complete impact of a rate change to be fully earned in our financial statements. For that reason, we account for inflation in our rate indications and filings with our regulators.

We invest in data analytics, using software and experienced personnel, to continuously evaluate our underwriting criteria and manage exposure to catastrophe and other losses. our retention has remained steadily in the range of 90% despite the rate increases we have implemented, in large part due to a challenging property insurance market in many of the regions in which we operate. Weather losses and a higher cost of reinsurance have impacted these markets. While we believe our rates are generally competitive with private market insurers operating in our space, we are focused on managing exposure and achieving rate adequacy throughout the book of business.

We continue to experience rising inflation in the form of increased labor and material costs, which drive up claim costs throughout all states in which we conduct business. Our Florida personal lines market is also seeing claim costs impacted by litigated claims, which substantially increases loss costs thereby driving up rates for the insurance buying public. Our response to this phenomenon is a combination of raising rates and reducing exposure. Since that time the claims abuse has extended throughout much of Florida, generated from assignment of benefits, excessive roof claims, and unwarranted litigated claims which far exceeds levels experienced in other states. Correspondingly, our exposure reduction plan expanded to personal lines business throughout the state of Florida.

Our industry experienced higher reinsurance costs and more constrained availability for catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance in the Spring 2022 renewals. We anticipate continued cost increases and availability constraints for the 2023 renewal season. As described herein, we are carefully managing exposure by reducing new business written in certain geographies, non-renewing unprofitable business in compliance with regulatory requirements, increasing rates, and narrowing our underwriting requirements.

While we see improvement in the geographic distribution of our business, which is becoming more rate adequate, our Florida loss costs have continued to increase from a combination of adverse weather and exacerbation of losses on weather and other claims resultant from the litigated claims environment. Recent legislative changes have been made in Florida in each of the last three years, which we believe is making some progress toward reducing losses from abusive claim reporting practices.

The table below shows reductions in Florida policy count and total insured value (“TIV”) of 17.6% and 10.3%, respectively, from the prior year quarter. During this period, Florida premium in force declined by only 2.6% as rate increases dampened the impact of the reduction in policy count. For markets outside of Florida, the premiums-in-force increased at a much larger rate than the increases in policies in force and TIV, primarily due to rate increases.

Strategic Profitability Initiatives

The following provides an update to the Company’s strategic initiatives that we expect will enable Heritage to achieve consistent long-term quarterly earnings and drive shareholder value. The Supplemental Information table included in this earnings release demonstrates progress made since third quarter 2021.

Generate underwriting profit though rate adequacy and more selective underwriting.
o
Premiums-in-force of $1.24 billion are up 5.8% from the prior year quarter, while policy count is down 6.9%, driven by higher rates.
o
Average premium per policy throughout the book increased 13.6% over the prior year quarter.
o
Continued focus on tightening underwriting criteria while also restricting new business written in over-concentrated markets or products.
Optimize capital allocation toward products and geographies that maximize long-term returns.
o
Reduction of policy count for Florida personal lines product is a key focus and will continue if meaningful legislation to reduce abusive claims practices does not occur. Florida PRES policies in force intentionally declined by 18.8% as compared to the prior year period.
o
Continued offering of Florida commercial lines product with 18.2% growth in annual premium while value TIV increased only 4.2%.
Improve portfolio diversity.
o
Diversification efforts led to a premium in-force growth of 14.1% in other States other than Florida.
o
Overall premium-in-force increase of 5.8%, despite an 8.5% reduction in Florida admitted personal lines business.
o
TIV in other states improved to 74.8%, compared to 71.3% as of the third quarter of 2021.

Recent Developments

Economic and Market Factors

We continue to monitor the effects of general changes in economic and market conditions on our business. As a result of general supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, increased cost of materials and labor needed for repairs and to otherwise remediate claims.claims throughout all states in which we conduct business. Additionally, we anticipate continued rising costs and constrained availability of catastrophe reinsurance. We mitigate these conditions by continued exposure management, implementation of increased rates and the use of inflation guard, which increases the insured value of a property to reflect the inflationary impact on costs to repair properties.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

We evaluate goodwillThe table below provides policy count, premiums-in-force, and TIV for Florida and all other intangible assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changesstates as of June 30, 2023 and compares these metrics to the second quarter of 2022. One of our goals has been to reduce personal lines exposure in circumstances indicate that itFlorida, given historical abusive claims practices. Florida policies-in-force declined from the prior year quarter by 15.4% with a 17.8% increase in premiums-in-force, and a TIV increase of only 2.5%. The increase in Florida premiums-in-force was driven by organic growth of our commercial residential business, rate increases across the book of business and use of inflation guard, partly offset by premium reductions associated with a nearly 16% reduction of our personal lines policies. The Florida TIV increase is likely thatsimilarly driven by strategic growth of our commercial residential portfolio as well as use of inflation guard across the carrying amountbook of goodwillbusiness, partly offset by a Florida personal lines TIV decrease of 9.2%. The increase in Florida premiums-in-force was driven by organic growth of our commercial residential business, rate increases across the book of business and other intangible assets may exceed the implied fair value. Any impairment is chargeduse of inflation guard which ensures appropriate replacement cost values, partly offset by premium reductions associated with a nearly 16% reduction of our personal lines policies. Compared to operations in the period that the impairment is identified. The evaluation of goodwill impairment requires considerable management judgment and includes a review of a variety of factors as described below. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our financial results. During the second quarter of 2022, we concluded it was appropriatepremiums-in-force for markets outside of Florida increased 4.2%, while the policy count outside of Florida decreased 8.7% due to performunderwriting actions and intentional exposure management.

Florida TIV increased 2.5% related to intentional growth of the Company’s commercial residential product and the use of inflation guard which ensures appropriate replacement cost values for all business, partly offset by the decrease in Florida personal lines policies over the prior year quarter.
o
TIV outside of Florida represented 73.8% of the entire amountportfolio, compared to 74.4% as of remaining goodwill,the second quarter of 2022, driven by exposure management of personal lines business throughout the book and selective growth of Florida commercial lines business.
Provide coverage suitable to the market and return targets.

Continued expansion of Excess & Surplus lines (“E&S”) premium-in-force in California and Florida.
o
Introduce E&S products in South Carolina during third quarter of 2023.
o
Continue to evaluate other strategic states for E&S products.

Reinsurance Commutation

As further described in Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, our 2017 reinsurance agreement with the FHCF requires a commutation no later than 60 months after the end of the contract year, which reduced our carrying valuecommutation process began in June 2023. As part of goodwill from $92.0 million to $0 basedthis process, Heritage and FHCF will terminate the 2017 reinsurance agreement and agree on the following factors: (i) disruptionsamount that FHCF will be required to pay to the Company to settle all outstanding losses owed under the agreement related to losses from Hurricane Irma. As such, this commutation process will ultimately result in a final determination of and payment for known, unknown or unreported claims relating to Hurricane Irma, with the potential for payment by the FHCF to Heritage of a larger or lesser amount than would otherwise have been the FHCF’s responsibility if the commutation were not required by Florida statutes and the contract terms. The commutation process began in June 2023 but has not yet been completed, and the Company cannot predict whether the loss estimates determined by Heritage and the loss estimates determined by the FHCF will differ. As such, there is no assurance that the reported reinsurance recoverable for Hurricane Irma losses from the FHCF will differ from the final amount that will be paid by the FHCF. Further, social inflation and the litigated claims environment in the equity markets, specifically for property and casualty insurance companies, largely dueState of Florida, which affected Hurricane Irma claims could result in adverse development of these claims which, create uncertainty as to recent weather-related catastrophe events; (ii) elevated loss ratios for property insurers in our markets; and (iii) tradingthe ultimate cost to settle of our stock below book value. Theseall the remaining Hurricane Irma claims. Accordingly, the final amount that will be paid by the FHCF could vary from the

Interest expense, net

Net interestInterest expense, net was $2.0$2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, slightly down from $2.2 million in the prior year quarter mostly due to a reduction in debt discount associated with the repurchase of convertible notes in the second quarter of 2022.2023, up 56.5% from the prior year quarter and driven by higher variable interest rates on our debt.

The year-over-year change primarily stems from a $90.8 million (net of a $1.2 million tax deductible portion) non-cash goodwill impairment charge as described above, coupled with(contributing a $3.41 loss per share) and an underwriting loss generated fordriven by a higher net loss ratio in the nine-monthprior year period, compared to underwriting income in the current year period driven by higher rates and investment income and lower weather and attritional losses, over the prior period, which includes a net retention of $40.0 million related to Hurricane Ian, as described above. Additionally, the benefit for income taxes was lower than our statutory rate, as described below.

The effective tax rate for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 was impacted by a valuation allowance related to certain tax elections made by Osprey Re, the Company’s captive reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda, which caused an increase in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was impacted by the mostly non-deductible goodwill impairment charge as described above as well as a valuation allowance of $10.7 million recorded against our deferred tax asset, related to our captive reinsurer, Osprey Re, related to the IRC Section 953(d) election made when Osprey Re was formed. As a result of this election, net operating losses for Osprey Re may only be used to offset taxable income at Osprey Re.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of SeptemberCredit Facilities. At June 30, 2022,2023, we had $297.5$256.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $651.8$708.3 million in investments, compared to $359.3$287.6 million and $694.7$653.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the timingstrategic investment of reinsurance payments for our catastrophe excess of loss program as well as timing of reinsurance recoveries. The decrease in investments is dueproceeds from investment maturities and operating cash into short term treasury bills to the unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale fixed income securities portfolio. The unrealized losses resulted from the continued decline in bond prices throughout 2022 asachieve a result of the higher interest rate environment. The Company’s fixed income portfolio averageyield without increasing credit rating is A+ with a duration of 3.4 years at September 30, 2022.risk, and to increase liquidity.

We generally hold substantial cash balances to meet seasonal liquidity needs including amounts to pay quarterly reinsurance installments as well as meet the collateral requirements of Osprey Re, our captive reinsurance company, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates.

We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We may continue to pursue the acquisition of complementary businesses and make strategic investments. We may increase capital expenditures consistent with our investment plans and anticipated growth strategy.business strategies. Cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund such expenditures. As such, in addition to the use of our existing Credit Facilities, we may need to utilize additional debt to secure funds for such purposes.

As part of the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, discussed below, going forward, dividends and stock repurchases may be limited or restricted entirely and our ability to contribute capital to our insurance subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Agreement may be limited.

Credit Facilities

The Company is party to a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Regions Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Hancock Whitney Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

Based on the Company’s results for the third quarter of 2022, management considered it likely at that time that the Company would be out of compliance with certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. In order to avoid a covenant violation, on November 7, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the revolving credit facility from $75 million to $50 million, (ii) establish a new $25 million term loan facility to refinance loans outstanding under the existing revolving credit facility and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto, (iii) reduce, from $50 million to $25 million, the aggregate amount of potential future increases to the revolving credit facility commitments and/or term loan commitments, (iii) modify the amortization of the existing term loan facility and new term loan facility to 10% per annum, paid quarterly, and (iii) increase the applicable margin for loans under the Credit Agreement to a range from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum for SOFR loans (plus a 0.10% credit adjustment spread) and based on a leverage ratio (an increase from the prior range of 2.50% to 3.00%). The Seventh Amendment also modified certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement which may limit the Company’s flexibility in connection with future financing transactions and in the allocation of capital in the future, including the Company’s ability to pay dividends and make stock repurchases, and contribute capital to its insurance subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Agreement. For additional information regarding the changes to the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement, refer to Part II, Item 5, “Other Information” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the revolving credit facility) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

Term Loan Facility. As amended by the Seventh Amendment, the The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021, and increasing to $2.4 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan Facility matures on July 28, 2026. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there was $66.5$84.4 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility and as of November 7, 2022, after giving effect to the additional term loan advance that was used to refinance amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto, there was $73.9 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility.Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $50 million inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022, we2023, the Company had $25.0drawn $10.0 million in borrowings and a $22.6 million letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the incurrence of additional amounts under the Term Loan Facility pursuant to the Seventh Amendment, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were repaid in full.and had unused letter of credit of $10.0 million.

The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities varies from 2.75% per annum to 3.25% per annum (for SOFR loans) and 1.75% to 2.25% per annum (for base rate loans) based on our consolidated leverage ratio ranging from 1.25-to-1 to greater than 2.25-to-1. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for SOFR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months.

We may prepay the loans under the Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions including minimum amounts and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of prepayments of SOFR loans. In addition, we are required to prepay the loan under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from certain financing transactions, involuntary dispositions or asset sales (subject, in the case of asset sales, to reinvestment rights).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. In September 2022, we assessed our deferred tax position and recorded a $10.7 million valuation against our net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2022. We intend to continue maintaining the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowance. We have made no other material changes or additions with regard to those policies and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Seasonality of our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal; hurricanes typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 and winter storms generally impact the first and fourth quarters each year. With our catastrophe reinsurance program effective on June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes to reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1 of each year, subject to certain adjustments.2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The information set forth under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” is incorporated herein by reference. We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The duration of the financial instruments held in our portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk was 3.3582.55 years and 3.8913.758 years at SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, and 3.9033.179 years at December 31, 2021.2022. As interest rates continue to rise, the fair value of our fixed rate debt securities are subject to decline. Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations. Credit risk is managed by maintaining a high credit quality fixed maturity securities portfolio. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the estimated weighted-average credit quality rating of the fixed maturity securities portfolio was A+, at fair value, consistent with the average rating at December 31, 2021.June 30, 2022.

Under the amended term loan agreement dated November 7, 2022, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to SOFR, plus an applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread equal to 0.10% or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the adjusted term SOFR in effect on such day for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, eliminating any reference to LIBOR.36


The Federal Reserve has tightened monetary policy, including multiple interest rate increases in the first half of 2022; however, the outlook is less certain for longer-term rates during the second half of 2022 and beyond. At September 30, 2022, weWe have not experienced a material impact when compared to the tabular presentations of our interest rate and market risk sensitive instruments in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

The Seventh Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the revolving credit facility from $75 million to $50 million, (ii) establish a new $25 million term loan facility to refinance loans outstanding undermaximum value amounts set forth in the existing revolving credit facilityemployment agreements, which amounts were not modified by the Amendments.

The Seventh Amendment also modifies certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement which may limit the Company’s flexibility in connection with future financing transactions and in the allocation of capital in the future. Specifically, starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Seventh Amendment amends certain financial covenants as follows: (1) require additional leverage ratios under the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) after the initial step down to 2.50x in the second quarter of 2023 not to exceed 2.25x as of the second quarter of 2024 and 2.00x as of the second quarter of 2025, (2) apply all (A)

The Equity Awards were issued pursuant to the terms of a restricted stock award agreement substantially in the form previously filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and10.22 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.
