3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”)Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In June 2016,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendednew guidance on reporting credit lossesto simplify the accounting for assets held at amortized costincome taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and available for sale debt securities (codifiedalso simplify areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard was adopted by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”)). For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit-related impairment losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as ofbeginning on January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.
Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain
10

Assurant, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)



internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The Company adopted the guidance on its effective date of January 1, 20202021 with no material impact on its financial position andor results of operations.
Not Yet Adopted
Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on the upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the
8

discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.
The guidance will beis effective for the Companyfiscal years beginning January 1,after December 15, 2022, includingand interim periods within that year.those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. In July 2020, the FASB issued a proposed accounting standards update that, if adopted, would extend the effective date of this guidance for the Company to January 1, 2023 (with early adoption permitted) and the application transition date would be January 1, 2022.
This guidance will apply to the Company’s preneed life insurance policies, as well as its annuity and universal life products (which are no longer offered and are in run-off). The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting: In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued.
The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed.
As certain published LIBOR isperiods are expected to be discontinued after 2021, the Company is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance and the impact to debt, investments and derivatives that have references to LIBOR and the subsequent transition to alternative reference rates. 
Improvements to Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current
11

Assurant, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)



GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more contracts in an entity’s own equity to qualify for it. The guidance also simplifies the diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculation in the areas of convertible instruments and instruments that qualify for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to address accounting for the guidance changes to the classification, recognition and measurement.
This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations.

The Company incurred additional exit related expenses of $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, that were also included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the sale, the CLOs were variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that the Company consolidated, as described in Note 12. The Company retained its direct investments in the CLOs following the sale, but deconsolidated the CLOs in third quarter 2020 since it no longer acts as collateral manager and, as a result, no longer has the power to control the CLO entities.
Sale of Investment in Iké
In 2014, the Company made an approximately 40% investment in Iké Grupo, Iké Asistencia and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Iké”), a services assistance business, for which the Company paid approximately $110.0 million. At the same time, the Company also entered into a shareholders’ agreement that provided the right to acquire the remainder of Iké from the majority shareholders and the majority shareholders the right to put their interests in Iké to the Company (together, the “put/call”) in mid-2019 at a predetermined price. During 2019,March 2021, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with the majority shareholders of Iké to extend the put/call. In January 2020, in lieu of exercising the put/call, the Company entered into a formaldefinitive agreement to sell its interests in Iké.
In May 2020, the Company completedlegal entities which comprise the salebusinesses previously reported as the Global Preneed segment and certain businesses previously disposed of its interests in Iké and terminated its put/call obligations recognizing a net loss on sale of $3.9 million pre-tax and $2.9 million after-taxthrough reinsurance, which were previously reported in the secondCorporate and Other segment (collectively, the “disposal business”) to CUNA Mutual Group (“CUNA”) for total cash consideration of $1.25 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2020. Prior2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the anticipated sale, the Company entered into a financial derivative in January 2020 that provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar since the purchase price was to be paid in Mexican Pesos. The Company settled its position upon the sale, resulting in a cash inflow of $22.0 million,reinsurance rates; and net realized (losses) gains on the derivative of $20.3 million during the second quarter of 2020.

A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount of $34.0 million (the “Iké Loan”). The Iké Loan matures in May 2025, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum payable quarterly and provides for quarterly principal amortization payments through the maturity date. The Iké Loan, which has an outstanding balance of $33.2 million as of September 30, 2020, is classified in other investments in the consolidated balance sheets and interest income is reflected as a component of net investment income in the consolidated statements of operations.

6. Goodwill
Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life and is not amortized, but rather is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For the year ended December 31, 2019, goodwill of all reporting units was not considered impaired based on qualitative and quantitative tests.
Global Preneed Goodwill Impairment
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators impacting theestimated fair value ofless costs to sell, which is required to be remeasured each reporting period. If the Global Preneed reportable segment in connection with exploring strategic alternatives for the Global Preneed business, including the possible salecarrying amount of the business to focusexceeds its estimated fair value, which is based on opportunities within the Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments. Such impairment indicators included the evaluationestimated sales price of the long term economic performancetransaction, less costs to sell, a loss is recognized. Depreciation is not recorded on assets of a business classified as held for sale.
The Company reports the segment in lightresults of further expected declines in interest rates fromoperations of a business as discontinued operations if (i) the resurgence of COVID-19 cases. As interest rates are critical tobusiness is classified as held for sale; (ii) the performancebusiness represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on the Company’s operations and financial results; (iii) the operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the anticipated long-term declines in interest rates are expected toongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (iv) the Company will not have adverse impacts on existing business and causeany significant challenges to profitability from new business. The overall expected adverse impact to the businesscontinuing involvement in the segment was an important indicator that triggered the requirement for an interim goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarter of 2020. As a result, an updated fair value assessment was completed based on how a market participant would consider the long-term outlook for business performance, long-term forecasts of the interest rate environment and its impact on the fair value of liabilities.
The fair value of the reportable segment was determined using a discounted cash flow method which calculates the present value of future earnings developed from projected earnings arising from existing and new business and considers all aspectsoperations of the business including investment assumptionsafter the disposal transaction. The results of asset portfolios. The fair value calculateddiscontinued operations are reported in the third quarter of 2020 was lower than the carrying value of the reportable segment, resulting in the pre-tax impairment charge of the entire goodwill of $137.8 million and after-tax impairment charge of $135.6 million (substantial portion is not tax deductible) related to the segment. The goodwill impairment charge is reported separatelynet income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented, commencing in the threeperiod in which the business is either disposed of or is classified as held for sale, including any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less costs to sell.

7. Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASC 326 using a modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for the reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 and afterdisposal business are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts are reported in accordance with previous applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a decrease of $20.4 million to retained earnings,as net of tax, as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative impact of adoption.
The following table illustrates the impact of adoption:

The total allowance for credit losses for the financial assets was $53.0 million, $46.2 million and $20.3 million as of September 30, 2020, January 1, 2020 (date of adoption) and December 31, 2019, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net increase in the allowance for credit losses that reduced pre-tax income was $10.2 million, consisting of increases in the allowance for credit losses of $14.1 million, partially offset by recoveries of $3.9 million, principally related to account write-downs established prior to implementation of the new standard. The net increase is classifiedfrom discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and segregated in the consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods presented, and the assets and liabilities for the disposal business have been classified as follows: $2.6 million is included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses and $7.6 million included in net realized losses on investments, comprised of $4.7 million related to commercial mortgage loans on real estate, $1.5 million related to availableheld for sale fixed maturity securities and $1.4 million related tosegregated for all periods presented in the Iké Loan (as referenced in Note 5).
Reinsurance Recoverables
As part of the Company’s overall risk and capacity management strategy, reinsurance is used to mitigate certain risks underwritten by various business segments. The Company is exposed to the credit risk of reinsurers, as the Company remains liable to insureds regardless of whether related reinsurance recoverables are collected. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, reinsurance recoverables totaled $9.80 billion and $9.59 billion, respectively, the majority of which are protected from credit risk by various types of collateral or other risk mitigation mechanisms, such as trusts, letters of credit or by withholding the assets in a modified coinsurance or funds withheld arrangement.
Methodology:
The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default methodology in estimating the allowance, whereby the credit ratings of reinsurers are used in determining the probability of default. The allowance is established for reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid future policy benefits and claims and benefits. Prior to applying default factors, the net exposure to credit risk is reduced for any collateral for which the right of offset exists, such as funds withheld, assets held in trust and letters of credit, which are part of the reinsurance arrangements, with adjustments to include consideration of credit exposure on the collateral. The methodology used by the Company incorporates historical default factors for each reinsurer based on their credit rating using comparably rated bonds as published by a major ratings service. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing and other relevant factors.
The Company utilizes external credit ratings published by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., at theconsolidated balance sheet date when determining the allowance. Where rates are not available, the Company assigns default credit ratingssheets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $2.8 million was principally due to the reduction of anticipated recoveries upon default following the recent economic impact related to COVID-19. When determining the allowance at September 30, 2020, the Company did not increase default probabilities by reinsurer since there had been no credit rating downgrades or major negative credit indications of the Company’s reinsurers that has impacted rating. The allowance may be increased and income reduced in future periods if there are future ratings downgrades or other measurable information supporting an increase in reinsurer default probabilities, including, but not limited to, collateral reductions.
Premium and Accounts Receivables
The Company is exposed to credit risk from premiums and other accounts receivables. For premiums receivable, the exposure to loss upon a default is often mitigated by the ability to terminate the policy on default and offset the corresponding unearned premium liability. The Company has other mitigating offsets from amounts payable on commissions and profit share arrangements when the counterparty to the receivable is a sponsor/agent of the Company’s insurance product.
Methodology:
For receivables due directly from the insured or consumer, the allowance is generally calculated by aging receivable balances and applying default factors based on the Company’s historical collection data. For receivables due from product sponsors or agents, receivable balances are generally segregated by the sponsor or agent and an appropriate default factor determined based on creditworthiness, billing terms and aging of balances. The financial exposure of a credit loss is determined net of offsets (such as related unearned premium reserves for consumer receivables and receivables net of commissions payable, profit share liabilities and captive reinsurance for balances due from sponsors/agents) prior to applying a default factor.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $3.5 million relates to an increase in past due accounts and default factors following the economic impact related to COVID-19 to reflect the expectation that future defaults will exceed historical defaults. There is a risk that income may be reduced in future periods for additional credit losses.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. and Canada. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 40% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Utah and New York. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.1 million to $12.2 million as of September 30, 2020 and from $0.1 million to $12.3 million as of December 31, 2019.
Methodology:
The Company records commercial mortgage loans at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for the Company’s commercial mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, utilizing a probability-of-default and loss methodology, which incorporates various probability weighted economic scenarios. The probability of default is estimated using macroeconomic factors as well as individual loan characteristics, including loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan term, collateral type, geography and underlying credit. The loss given default is driven primarily by the type and value of underlying collateral, and to a lesser extent by expected liquidation costs and time to recovery. Each loan is analyzed individually based on loan-specific data elements to estimate the expected loss and then aggregated.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status after 90 days of delinquent payments (unless the loans are secured and in the process of collection). A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status before this time if information is available that suggests collection is unlikely. The Company charges off loan and accrued interest balances that are deemed uncollectible. Charge offs are recorded to net income in the period deemed uncollectible.
Upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses from $0.6 million to $2.2 million with the after-tax impact of $1.3 million reflected in retained earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the CECL allowance was increased by an additional $4.7 million due to an increase in anticipated default factors following the recent economic impact related to COVID-19.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at September 30, 2020.

Available for Sale Securities
ASC 326 includes certain changes to the accounting and reporting for impairments involving available for sale securities, including presentation of credit-related impairments as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment, eliminating duration of unrealized loss as a consideration when assessing recognition of an impairment, recognition of credit impairments upon purchase of securities as applicable, and requiring reversals of previously recognized credit-related impairments when applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company’s updated accounting policy for available for sale securities is as follows:
For available for sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, changes to the credit rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, among other factors. If this assessment indicates a potential credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit-related impairment exists, and a charge to income and an associated allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit-related impairment. Any impairment not related to credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Upon recognizing a credit-related impairment, the cost basis of the security is not adjusted.
Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. For fixed maturities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. Write-offs are charged against the allowance when management concludes the financial asset is uncollectible. For fixed maturities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par. The Company recorded a $1.5 million allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
For available for sale fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment loss, or difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security, is recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of the security is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized and is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. 
The Company reports receivables for accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities available for sale and elected not to measure allowances for credit losses for accrued investment income as uncollectible balances are written off in a timely manner.

8. Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020,following table summarizes the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted, implementing numerous changes to tax law including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilizationcomponents of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical correctionsincome from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company filed a refund claim for $198.4 million and recorded a $79.3 million tax benefit related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act, resulting in a decrease of the deferred tax asset of $107.1 million and increase to the current receivable of $186.4 million. The Company accrued a $5.2 million after-tax interest benefit related to the refund from the carryback for the nine months ended September 30, 2020,discontinued operations included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company received the full amount of the refund plus interest in July 2020. The Company also recorded refundable employee retention tax credits of $3.1 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Due to the recent enactment of this legislation, the Company continues to assess the potential tax impacts on its financial position and results of operations.operations:

Total gross unrealized losses represented approximately 4% and 2% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Approximately 92% and 60% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 619 and 180 individual securities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not recognize credit-related losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.
The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. and Canada. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 53% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Texas and Oregon. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.2 million to $9.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and from $0.1 million to $9.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
Credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios. The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan, and is

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved with various types of investment entities that may be considered VIEs. The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required. The Company’s maximum risk of loss is limited to the carrying value and unfunded commitments of its investments in the VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs
One of the Company’s subsidiaries was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser. The subsidiary (or one of its affiliates) managed and invested in CLOs and real estate funds and conducted other forms of investment activities. Prior to third quarter 2020, the Company had determined that the CLOs and real estate

fund were VIEs and consolidated each because the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities due to (i) its role as collateral manager, which gave it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, and (ii) its economic interest in the entities, which exposed it to losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities. During the third quarter 2020, the Company sold its CLO asset management platform and outsourced its real estate asset management. As a result of these transactions, the Company deconsolidated the CLO entities and real estate fund since it no longer acts as collateral manager and, as a result, no longer has the power to control these entities. See Note 5 for additional information on the sale of the CLO asset management platform.

(1)Prior to the deconsolidation in the third quarter of 2020, the CLO entities were collateralized financing entities. Under the elected measurement alternative for collateralized financing entities, the carrying value of the CLO debt equals the fair value of the CLO assets (senior secured leveraged loans) as the assets have more observable fair values. The CLO liabilities are reducedLoan-to-value ratio derived from current loan balance divided by the fair value of the beneficial interests the Company retains in the CLO and the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. CLO earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the change in theproperty. The fair value of the Company’s CLO investments, net investment income earned and investment management and contingent performance fees earned. Investment management fees are reported as a reduction to investment expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the CLOs are legally isolated from the Company’s creditors and can only be used to settle obligations of the CLOs. The liabilities of the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company and the Company has no obligation to satisfy the liabilities of the CLOs.underlying commercial properties is updated at least annually.
As of September 30, 2020, due to the deconsolidation, the CLO investments are reported in the consolidated balance sheet in fixed maturity securities and other investments. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the CLOs that had closed was $77.4 million in subordinated debt tranches and $21.1 million in senior debt tranches.
The Company’s retained beneficial interests in subordinated tranches are measured at fair value using the market or income valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, including prepayment, default rate, recovery lag, reinvestment, collateral liquidation price, discount rate and call date assumptions.
Real Estate Fund:(2) Prior to the deconsolidation in the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s real estate fund investment was a closed ended fund that included contributions from third party investors, which were recorded as non-controlling interests. Real estate fund earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the net investment income of the real estate fund, which includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments in the real estate fund and investment management fees earned. The Company had a majority investment in the real estate fund in the form of an equity interest. As of September 30, 2020, the real estate fund is reported in the consolidated balance sheet in other investments. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the real estate fund was $88.3 million as of December 31, 2019.
For all consolidated investment entities, intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Fair Value of VIE Assets and Liabilities
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. See Note 13 for the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019.

13.8. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures
The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, theThe Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.
Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, a modified coinsurance arrangement and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP and other derivatives, including the put/call for Iké. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

The Company experienced favorable development in both periods presented in the roll forward table above. Global Lifestyle contributed $34.0$30.6 million and $28.5$29.7 million to the net favorable development during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in both years was attributable to nearly all lines of business across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience each period. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable. Global Housing contributed $2.9$12.6 million and $9.9 million of net favorable development and $7.5 million of net unfavorable development for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in 2020both years was primarily attributable to Lender-placed Insurance products from the most recent accident year 2019years due to lower than expected non-catastrophe claim frequency for water damage and other claims. The net unfavorable development in 2019 was primarily attributable to $4.5 million in net unfavorable development from prior catastrophes, due to rising severity trends from Hurricane Maria and Michael, partially offset by increased subrogation recoveries associated with the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires. Global Preneed and otherfrequency. All others contributed $6.1$3.0 million and $6.3$5.4 million inon net favorable development for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Credit Facility
The Company has a senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million, which may be increased up to $575.0 million. The Credit Facility is available until December 2022, provided the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million. The proceeds from these loans may be used for the Company’s commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes.
On March 27, 2020, the Company drew down $200.0 million from its Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to strengthen its liquidity position and capital flexibility due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial interest period for the loan ended on June 26, 2020 and bore a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. Upon the expiration of the initial interest period, the Company continued the $200.0 million loan for an additional month bearing a floating interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. The Company repaid the full $200.0 million loan on July 29, 2020. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, 0 borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, and $445.5 million was available under the Credit Facility due to $4.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. Total interest expense on the $200.0 million draw for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.7 million.
Interest Rate Derivatives
In March 2018, the Company exercised a series of derivative transactions it had entered into in 2017 to hedge the interest rate risk related to expected borrowing to finance the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. The Company determined that the derivatives qualified for hedge accounting as effective cash flow hedges and recognized a deferred gain of $26.7 million upon settlement that was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain is being recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 4.20% senior notes due 2023, the 4.90% senior notes due 2028 and the 7.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2048, in each case on an effective yield basis. The amortization of the deferred gain for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and the amortization of deferred gain for nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.million. The remaining deferred gain as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was $19.3$17.9 million.

The fair value of PSUs with market conditions was estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. Expected volatilities for awards issued during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were based on the historical stock prices of the Company’s stock and peer group. The expected term for grants issued during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 was assumed to equal the average of the vesting period of the PSUs. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

19.14. Earnings Per Common Share
The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon the conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. Refer to Notes 1712 and 1813 for further information regarding potential common stock issuances. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

In February 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Health Benefits to terminate effective December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Benefits will be paid up to the Termination Date. The Retirement Health Benefits obligations were re-measured using a discount rate of 1.55%, selected based on a cash flow analysis using a bond yield curve as of February 29, 2020, and the fair market value of the Retirement Health Benefits assets as of February 29, 2020. The remeasurement resulted in a reduction to the Retirement Health Benefits obligations of $65.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be reclassified from AOCI as it is amortized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining period until the Termination Date.
The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019:2020:

21.16. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $7.6$7.2 million and $12.1$7.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. In particular, the Company is a
42

Assurant, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
defendant in class actions in a number of jurisdictions regarding its Lender-placed Insurance programs. These cases assert a variety of claims under a number of legal theories. The plaintiffs typically seek premium refunds and other relief. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these class actions.proceedings. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable.
The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the accrual. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the
30

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)



basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is actively monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the ongoing impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition. While continuing to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets.
At this time, it is not possible to estimate how long it will take to halt the spread of the virus or the long-term effects that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the economy or the Company’s business.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition, including demand for the Company’s products and services and the value of the Company’s investment portfolio and other tangible or intangible assets, among other impacts, will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These include the severity and duration of the pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other third parties to contain or address its impact. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may experience materially adverse impacts to its business, results of operations and financial condition as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact.

22. Subsequent Event
Acquisition of HYLA Mobile
In October 2020, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire HYLA Mobile, a provider of smartphone software and trade-in and upgrade services, for $325.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2020, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, and to be funded through a combination of existing cash at the holding company and new debt to be issued before closing.

General
Global Preneed Discontinued Operations
In March 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the legal entities which comprise the businesses previously reported as the Global Preneed segment and certain businesses previously disposed of through reinsurance, which were previously reported in the Corporate and Other segment (collectively, the “disposal business”) to CUNA Mutual Group (“CUNA”) for total cash consideration of $1.25 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments at closing. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
The estimated carrying value of the disposal business is subject to adjustment in future quarters until closing, and may be influenced by various factors including the following:
The performance of the disposal business, including the impact of discount, interest, mortality and reinsurance rates; and
Changes in the terms of the agreement with CUNA, including as a result of any subsequent negotiations, any necessary changes to obtain regulatory approval or any changes due to unanticipated developments.
We have determined that the disposal business meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of operations of the disposal business are presented as net income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
33


operations and segregated in the consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods presented and the assets and liabilities for the disposal business have been classified as held for sale and segregated for all periods presented in the consolidated balance sheets. Transactions between the disposal business and businesses in our continuing operations are not eliminated to appropriately reflect the continuing operations and the assets, liabilities and results of the disposal business. Refer to “—Results of Operations—Discontinued Operations” below and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Reportable Segments
As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had fourthree reportable segments, excluding discontinued operations described above, which are defined based on the manner in which the Company’s chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews the business to assess performance and allocate resources, and which align to the nature of the products and services offered:
Global Lifestyle: provides mobile device solutions and extended service products and related services for consumer electronics and appliances (referred to as “Connected Living”); vehicle protection and related services (referred to as “Global Automotive”); and credit and other insurance products (referred to as “Global Financial Services and Other”);
Global Housing: provides lender-placed homeowners insurance, lender-placed manufactured housing insurance and lender-placed flood insurance (referred to as “Lender-placed Insurance”); renters insurance and related products (referred to as “Multifamily Housing”); and voluntary manufactured housing insurance, voluntary homeowners insurance and other specialty products (referred to as “Specialty and Other”);
Global Preneed: provides pre-funded funeral insurance, final need insurance and related services; and
45


Corporate and Other: includes activities of the holding company, financing and interest expenses, net realized gains (losses) on investments (which includes unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and changes in fair value of direct investments in collateralized loan obligations), interest income earned from short-term investments held, income (expenses) primarily related to the Company’s frozen benefit plans, amounts related to businesses previously disposed of through reinsurance and the run-off of the Assurant Health business. Corporate and Other also includes goodwill impairments, the foreign currency gains (losses) from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and other expenses related to merger and acquisition activities, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes (reportable catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments, and including reinstatement and other premiums).
The following discussion covers the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 (“ThirdFirst Quarter 2020” and “Nine Months 2020”2021”) and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 (“ThirdFirst Quarter 2019” and “Nine Months 2019”2020”).
Executive Summary
COVID-19
    WhileConsolidated net income from continuing to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges suchoperations was relatively flat at $148.5 million for First Quarter 2021 from $148.6 million for First Quarter 2020, as the temporary closuresabsence of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets.
    Toward the end of the first quarter of 2020 and into the second quarter of 2020, the pandemic impacted each of our operating segments and may continue to impact our businesses if similar conditions continue to persist or worsen. Overall,a $79.3 million one-time tax benefit in Third Quarter 2020, we believe COVID-19 had a modest negative impact on our net income, mainly due to lower investment income from lower yields. Our investment portfolio will continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and related financial market volatility. Though we generally believe our portfolio remains well diversified and high-quality, with the majority comprised of investment grade fixed maturity assets, interest rates are expected to remain relatively low for the foreseeable future. Refer to “—Investments” below and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Our Response to COVID-19
As a global organization, we actively monitor the developments of the continuously evolving situation resulting from COVID-19. Throughout this period of uncertainty, we have acted swiftly and deliberately to safeguard our employees, to maintain business operations and service levels for customers, and to support our local communities. Since implementing restrictions on non-essential business travel and transitioning the vast majority of our workforce to work-from-home, we have approved a limited return to office within certain Asian and European locations, as well as limited, essential business travel. For those employees who need to work in our offices or global facilities, we’ve maintained safety and hygiene protocols, such as social distancing, mandatory use of personal protection equipment and regular cleaning and disinfecting of our locations. To support our employees, we have implemented additional floating holidays, a one-time COVID-19 relief payment for eligible work-from-home employees and incentive bonuses for eligible on-site employees, as well as increased well-being and mental health support services. We offered financial support through a special COVID-19 Emergency Relief Program to eligible employees who experienced severe financial hardship caused by the pandemic. We also have been active in maintaining our support within our local communities through charitable contributions.
Evaluation of Business Trends, Capital and Liquidity
We have run multiple scenarios based on the potential duration and severity of this crisis to better understand how our business might perform and stress-tested our capital, cash flows and liquidity. Our business has performed on the high-end of the scenarios, demonstrating its overall resilience.
Although in late March and through April, our businesses experienced a reduction in new sales across our Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive lines of business, as well as Global Preneed, these trends have generally reversed through the end of Third Quarter 2020. Our mobile business experienced lower trade-in activity and slower sales growth, which also improved through the end of Third Quarter 2020. We believe we have benefitted from our installed customer base across Connected Living, Global Automotive, Multifamily Housing and Global Preneed.
Third Quarter 2020 Global Lifestyle results were modestly impacted by COVID-19-related factors, including more favorable international claims activity in Connected Living and Global Automotive and lower expenses, offset by lower investment income and foreign exchange impacts. We expect that claims activity in Connected Living and Global Automotive will continue to normalize in the fourth quarter of 2020. We also expect investment income to be impacted from lower investment yields coming from new business. Throughout Global Lifestyle, we may also continue to see adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange.
46


Third Quarter 2020 Global Housing results were modestly impacted by COVID-19-related factors, including lower real estate owned (“REO”) volumes in Lender-placed Insurance and lower investment income, partially offset by lower expenses. For Lender-placed Insurance, we will continue to monitor the state of the overall housing market and the potential impact of the current mortgage moratorium, including REO volumes. Should the housing market deteriorate for a prolonged period, we would expect a longer-term increase in our placement rates. We also expect investment income to be impacted from lower investment yields.
For Global Preneed, sales have generally rebounded from April levels but remain below 2019 levels. We are also monitoring mortality trends, which have fluctuated during the pandemic, but were not a material driver of overall Global Preneed results in the quarter. We expect longer term results to be impacted from lower yields on new sales due to the current interest rate environment, given the average duration of our investment portfolio.
We continue to take actions to mitigate potential impacts, including deferring certain discretionary expenses and delaying the fulfillment of open positions in support functions, though we expect to see increased spending in these items in the fourth quarter of 2020, as well as in investments that had been deferred.
Throughout this period, we believe our liquidity has remained strong. As of September 30, 2020, we had $460.3 million of holding company liquidity.
For a discussion of the material risks relating to COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition, refer to the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020 and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The value of our deferred tax assets could become impaired, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” in our 2019 Annual Report.
Global Preneed Goodwill Impairment and Review of Strategic Alternatives
During Third Quarter 2020, we identified impairment indicators impacting the fair value of Global Preneed in connection with exploring strategic alternatives for the Global Preneed business, including the possible sale of the business, to focus on opportunities within the broader Global Lifestyle and Global Housing portfolio. Such impairment indicators included the evaluation of the long-term economic performance of the segment in light of further expected decline in interest rates from the resurgence of COVID-19 cases. As interest rates are critical to the performance of the business, the anticipated declines in interest rates are expected to have adverse impacts on existing business and cause significant challenges to profitability from new business. The overall expected adverse impact to the business in the segment was an important indicator that triggered the requirement for an interim goodwill impairment analysis in the Third Quarter 2020. The fair value calculated in ThirdFirst Quarter 2020 was lower than the carrying value of the reporting unit, resulting in the impairment of the entire goodwill of $137.8 million related to the Global Preneed reporting unit. For additional information on the impairment test, refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Iké
    In May 2020, we sold our minority interests in Iké Grupo, Iké Asistencia and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Iké”), terminated our obligations to purchase the remaining shares of Iké, and settled a financial derivative that provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar. These transactions resulted in net cash outflows of $85.3 million, which included financing of $34.0 million, the proceeds from the settlement of the derivative and transaction expenses. For additional information on this transaction, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
American Financial & Automotive Services
In May 2020, we completed our acquisition of American Financial & Automotive Services, Inc. (“AFAS”), a provider of finance and insurance products and services including vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection insurance and other ancillary products sold directly through a network of nearly 600 franchised dealership clients across 40 states, for total consideration of $176.9 million. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Catastrophe Reinsurance Program
In June 2020, we finalized our 2020 property catastrophe reinsurance program. The U.S. per-event catastrophe coverage provides $930.0 million of protection in excess of $80.0 million of retention per event. The coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best.
Acquisition of HYLA Mobile
47


In October 2020, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire HYLA Mobile, a provider of smartphone software and trade-in and upgrade services, for $325.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2020, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, and to be funded through a combination of existing cash at the holding company and new debt to be issued before closing.
Summary of Financial Results
Consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $24.6 million, or 41%, to $34.9 million for Third Quarter 2020 from $59.5 million for Third Quarter 2019. The decrease was largely driven by the absence of the $124.8 million reduction in fair value of Iké, as well as improved results from our Global Housing segment, excluding reportable catastrophes, partially offset by the $135.6 million after-tax impairmenthigher net realized gains on the Global Preneed goodwill and $51.3 million of higher after-tax reportable catastrophes for Global Housing.investments compared to net realized losses in First Quarter 2020.
Global Lifestyle segment net income increased $4.5$8.2 million, or 4%7%, to $106.6$129.1 million for ThirdFirst Quarter 20202021 from $102.1$120.9 million for ThirdFirst Quarter 2019,2020, primarily driven by strong results in Global Automotive, including a $4.3 million one-time benefit, as well as higher investment income and underlying global growth. Connected Living mainly due toresults also increased from mobile from continued subscriber growth in Asia Pacific and North America, and Asia Pacific, as well as improved profitability from extended service contracts. Results were partially offset by lower investment income and unfavorable foreign exchange, as well as lowerhigher trade-in volumes and unfavorable loss experience incontributions from recent acquisitions.

The increase was partially offset by lower mobile trade-in results, including a $39.0 million impact resulting from athe previously disclosed mobile program change,contract change. Excluding this $98.0 million reduction, net earned premiums, fees and unfavorable foreign exchange.other income was flat year-over-year.
Global Housing segment net income decreased $28.5$6.8 million, or 69%9%, to $13.1$67.4 million for ThirdFirst Quarter 2021 from $74.2 million for First Quarter 2020, from $41.6driven by $21.7 million for Third Quarter 2019. Segment net income for Third Quarter 2020 included $87.0 million of higher reportable catastrophes primarily from Hurricane Laura, compared to $35.7 million of reportable catastrophes for Third Quarter 2019.the severe winter storms in Texas. Excluding reportable catastrophes, segment net income increased $22.8$14.9 million, primarily due to more favorable non-catastrophe loss experience, across ourmainly in Specialty and Other products driven by underwriting improvements and lower overall claims frequency, as well as growth in Multifamily Housing.

Global Preneed segment net income increased $5.8 million, or 78%, to $13.2 million for Third Quarter 2020 from $7.4 million for Third Quarter 2019. Third Quarter 2019 included a $9.9 million after-tax expense related to an out of period adjustment for over-capitalization of deferred acquisition costs occurring over a ten-year period. Excluding this adjustment, underlying results decreased primarily due to lower investment income from lower yields and real estate joint venture partnerships compared to the prior year period.
Global Preneed net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $1.1 million, or 2%, to $51.9 million for Third Quarter 2020 from $50.8 million for Third Quarter 2019, primarily driven by prior period sales of the Final Need product.
Critical Factors Affecting Results
Our results depend on, among other things, the appropriateness of our product pricing, underwriting, the accuracy of our reserving methodology for future policyholder benefits and claims, the frequency and severity of reportable and non-reportable catastrophes, returns on and values of invested assets, and our ability to manage our expenses and achieve expense savings. Our results will also depend on our ability to profitably grow our businesses, in particular our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses, and maintainingmaintain our position in our Lender-placed Insurance business and the North American credit insurance business in Global Financial Services and Other.business. Factors affecting these items, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto, conditions in financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. For more information on these and other factors that could affect our results, including COVID-19 and measures taken in response thereto, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors”, below and in our 20192020 Annual Report, and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Factors Affecting Results” in our 20192020 Annual Report and “—Executive Summary—COVID-19” and “—Executive Summary—Our Response to COVID-19,” above.

Report.
Our results may be impacted by our ability to continue to grow in the markets in which we operate and to maintain relationships with significant clients, distributors and other parties or renew contracts with them on favorable terms, including in our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses. Our mobile business is subject to volatility in mobile device trade-in volumes based on the actual and anticipated timing of the release of new devices and carrier promotional programs, as well as to changes in consumer preferences. Our Lender-placed Insurance revenues will also be impacted by changes in the housing market. In addition, across many of our businesses, we must respond to the threat of disruption. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business, Strategic and CompetitiveOperational Risks—SignificantOur revenues and profits may decline if we are unable to maintain relationships with significant clients, distributors and other parties, or renew contracts with them on favorable terms, or if those parties face financial, reputational or regulatory issues” and “Significant competitive pressures, changes in customer preferences and disruption could adversely affect our results of operations” in our 20192020 Annual Report.
Management believes that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months, including the ability to pay interest on our debt and dividends on our common and preferred stock.
For Nine Months 2020,First Quarter 2021, net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $454.0 million; net cash provided by operating activities was $901.6 million; net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $275.2$63.2 million; and net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $296.8$153.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our 20192020 Annual Report describes the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The accounting policies and estimation process described in the 20192020 Annual Report were consistently applied to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for ThirdFirst Quarter 2020.2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Regulatory Matters
We are subject to extensive federal, state and international regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which we do business, including insurance holding company laws in the jurisdictions in which our insurance companies are domiciled. For example, under applicable insurance holding company regulations, no person may acquire a controlling interest in the Company or any of our insurance company subsidiaries, unless such person has obtained prior regulatory approval for such acquisition. Under these laws, “control” is presumed when any person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our common stock or of the voting securities of any of our insurance company subsidiaries. To obtain approval, the proposed acquiror must file an application with the relevant regulator, including the regulator for the insurance subsidiaries we have established in the Netherlands for continued access to the European markets after the transition period for the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union. As previously disclosed, our insurance subsidiaries in the Netherlands have received the necessary regulatory approvals for the Company to continue conducting business in Europe following the end of the transition period.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $24.6 million, or 41%, to $34.9 million for Third QuarterMarch 31, 2020 from $59.5 million loss for Third Quarter 2019. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the absence of certain events that occurred in Third Quarter 2019, mainly a $124.8 million after-tax loss related to a decrease in the estimated fair value of Iké, $29.6 million of after-tax debt related charges associated with refinancing debt at a lower interest rate and a $9.9 million after-tax expense related to an out of period adjustment in our Global Preneed segment for over-capitalization of deferred acquisition costs occurring over a ten-year period. Additionally, the decrease in net loss was due to improved results from our Global Housing segment, excluding reportable catastrophes, due to more favorable non-catastrophe loss experience across our Specialty and Other products and Lender-placed Insurance driven by lower claims frequency, previously implemented underwriting initiatives and reserve releases related to run-off business, and a $9.7 million of income, net of certain exit costs, from the sale of our CLO asset management platform. The decrease in net loss was partially offset by the $135.6 million after-tax impairment on the Global Preneed goodwill and $51.3 million of higher after-tax reportable catastrophes for Global Housing.

Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 3%, due to decrease in general expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in policyholder benefits of $9.5 million, or 5%, driven by the growth in the domestic preneed business.

The decreaseincrease in net loss was primarily due to the absence of a $124.8 million after-tax loss related to a decrease in the estimated fair value of Iké and $29.6 million of after-tax debt related charges associated with refinancing debt at a lower interest rate that were both recorded in Third Quarter 2019. The decrease in net loss was also due $10.0 million of lower net losses from foreign exchange related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Argentina, a highly inflationary currency, and a $9.7 million of income, net of certain exit costs, from the sale of our CLO asset management platform. The decrease in net loss was partially offset by the $135.6 million after-tax impairment on the Global Preneed goodwill.
Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased $8.3 million, or 26%, to $23.1 million for Third Quarter 2020 from $31.4 million for Third Quarter 2019, primarily due to an $8.1 million decrease in net investment income driven by lower income from a higher concentration of lower yielding liquid investments for Third Quarter 2020 compared to Third Quarter 2019 and lower income from real estate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
COVID-19 did not materially impact our liquidity and capital resources during Third Quarter 2020. Throughout this period, we believe our liquidity remained strong. As of September 30, 2020, we had $460.3 million of holding company liquidity. Refer to the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020 for a discussion of COVID-19 related factors that could impact our liquidity and capital resources in the future.
The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, includes measures to assist companies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures include the ability to carry back net operating losses to prior years taxed at higher rates and defer the due dates of certain tax payments. Pursuant to the CARES Act, we carried back net operating losses to 2013 and 2014, resulting in a refund claim of $198.4 million. We also deferred our first quarter 2020 and second quarter 2020 federal estimated tax payments and payments related to the employer’s portion of social security tax in 2020. This will have the effect of increasing cash outlays for these taxes during the second half of 2020, 2021 and 2022. In July 2020, we received the full amount of the refund plus interest related to the net operating losses we carried back under the CARES Act, a portion of which was included in Third Quarter 2020 holding company liquidity. We continue to monitor and assess the potential tax impact of this and other COVID-19-related legislation on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.
Regulatory Requirements
Assurant, Inc. is a holding company and, as such, has limited direct operations of its own. Our assets consist primarily of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our future cash flows depend upon the availability of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments from our subsidiaries, such as payments under our tax allocation agreement and under management agreements with our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay such dividends and to make such other payments will be limitedis regulated by applicable lawsthe states and regulations of the jurisdictionsterritories in which our subsidiaries are domiciled, which subject our subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. Thedomiciled. These dividend requirements and regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and by type of insurance provided by the applicable subsidiary. These laws and regulationssubsidiary, but generally require among other things, our insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends theythese subsidiaries can pay to the holding company. Regulatory actions in response to COVID-19 could further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation—U.S. Insurance Regulation” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risks—Changes in insurance regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth”growth” and “—Macroeconomic, Political and Global Market Risks—The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in our 20192020 Annual Report and the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020.Report. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”).
Regulators or rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, increasing capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries and may base these changes using different factors including industry studies, management actions or market conditions. The rating agencies’ assessment of the Company may consider the results of internally developed stress testing models and potential impacts to our earnings and capital, including from COVID-19 and the associated economic environment.capital. For further information on our ratings and the risks of ratings downgrades, see “Item 1—Business—Ratings” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Financial Risks—A decline in the financial strength ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” in our 20192020 Annual Report.
For the year ending December 31, 2020,2021, the maximum amount of dividends our regulated U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries could pay us, under applicable laws and regulations currently in effect and without prior regulatory approval, is $423.7$544.7 million. This amount includes $81.6 million from subsidiaries included in the disposal business which is subject to additional restrictions pursuant to the Global Preneed transaction agreement that would reduce the maximum amount of dividends without prior regulatory approval to $52.5 million from such subsidiaries. In addition, our international and non-insurance subsidiaries provide additional sources of dividends.
Holding Company
As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had approximately $460.3$332.0 million in holding company liquidity, which was $235.3$107.0 million above our targeted minimum level of $225.0 million. The target minimum level of holding company liquidity, which can be used for unforeseen capital needs at our subsidiaries or liquidity needs at the holding company, is calibrated based on approximately one year of corporate operating and interest expenses and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”)

dividends.expenses. We use the term “holding company liquidity” to represent the portion of cash and other liquid marketable securities held at Assurant, Inc., out of a total of $576.1$448.4 million of holding company investment securities and cash, which we are not otherwise holding for a specific purpose as of the balance sheet date. We can use thesuch assets that comprise holding company liquidity for stock repurchases, stockholder dividends, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.
Dividends or returns of capital paid by our subsidiaries, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, were approximately $529.0$183.0 million for Nine Months 2020.First Quarter 2021. In 2019,2020, dividends, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, made to the holding company were $748.0 million.$821.0 million (including approximately $31.0 million of dividends from subsidiaries, net of infusions, included in the disposal business).
In addition to paying expenses and making interest payments on indebtedness, and making dividend payments on our preferred stock, our capital management strategy provides for several uses of the cash generated by our subsidiaries, including returning capital to common stockholders through share repurchases and dividends, investing in our business to support growth in targeted areas and making prudent and opportunistic acquisitions. From time to time, we may also seek to purchase outstanding debt in open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. During Nine Months 2020First Quarter 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, we made common stock repurchases and paid dividends to our common stockholders of $268.3$79.7 million and $426.3$454.4 million, respectively. We expect to deploy capital primarily to support business growth, fund other investments and return capital to shareholders, subject to Board of Directors (the “Board”) approval and market conditions. In addition, as previously disclosed in March 2021 in connection with the Global Preneed transaction, we intend to return 75% of the expected net proceeds of $1.2 billion to shareholders through share repurchases within one year of closing, subject to Board approval.

In May 2020, we soldconnection with the sale of our minority interests in Iké and terminated our obligations to purchase the remaining shares of Iké (collectively, the “Sale”). In connection with the Sale,in May 2020, we provided $34.0 million of financing to Iké Grupo in an aggregate principal amount of $34.0 million (the “Iké Loan”). The Iké Loan matures in May 2025, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum payable quarterly and provides for quarterly principal amortization payments through the maturity date. The outstanding balanceform of the Iké Loan as of September 30, 2020 was $33.2 million.
For Nine Months 2020, net cash outflows related to the Sale were $85.3 million, including net proceeds paid of $73.3 million andLoan. In April 2021, the Iké Loan of $34.0 million, less cash inflows of $22.0 million upon settling a financial derivative we had entered intowas prepaid in connection with our agreement to sell our interests in Iké. The financial derivative had provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar since the purchase price was to be paid in Mexican Pesos. See Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Report.
On May 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of AFAS, a provider of finance and insurance products and services including vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection insurance and other ancillary products sold directly through a network of nearly 600 franchised dealership clients across 40 states, for total consideration of $176.9 million. See Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Report.
In October 2020, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire HYLA Mobile, a provider of smartphone software and trade-in and upgrade services, for $325.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2020, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, and to be funded through a combination of existing cash at the holding company and new debt to be issued before closing. In parallel, we are exploring a range of strategic alternatives for Global Preneed, including the possible sale of the business, to focus on opportunities within the broader lifestyle and housing portfolio.full.
In management’s opinion, dividends from our subsidiaries and other expected cash inflows together with our income and gains from our investment portfolio and cash and liquid assets on hand will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our needs in the ordinary course of business.
Assurant Subsidiaries
The primary sources of funds for our subsidiaries consist of premiums and fees collected, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments and net investment income. Cash is primarily used to pay insurance claims, agent commissions, operating expenses and taxes. We generally invest our subsidiaries’ excess funds in order to generate investment income.
We conduct periodic asset liability studies to measure the duration of our insurance liabilities, to develop optimal asset portfolio maturity structures for our significant lines of business and ultimately to assess that cash flows are sufficient to meet the timing of cash needs. These studies are conducted in accordance with formal company-wide Asset Liability Management guidelines.
To complete a study for a particular line of business, models are developed to project asset and liability cash flows and balance sheet items under a large, varied set of plausible economic scenarios. These models consider many factors including the current investment portfolio, the required capital for the related assets and liabilities, our tax position and projected cash flows from both existing and projected new business.
62


Alternative asset portfolio structures are analyzed for significant lines of business. An investment portfolio maturity structure is then selected from these profiles given our return hurdle and risk preference.appetite. Scenario testing of significant liability assumptions and new business projections is also performed. Specific to COVID-19, several scenarios around impact on near term asset and liability projections, including new business, were modeled and evaluated.
Our liabilities generally have limited policyholder optionality, which means that the timing of payments is relatively insensitive to the interest rate environment. In addition, our investment portfolio is largely comprised of highly liquid fixed maturity securities with a sufficient component of such securities invested that are near maturity which may be sold with minimal risk of loss to meet cash needs. Therefore, we believe we have limited exposure to disintermediation risk.
Generally, our subsidiaries’ premiums, fees and investment income, along with planned asset sales and maturities, provide sufficient cash to pay claims and expenses. However, there may be instances when unexpected cash needs arise in excess of that available from usual operating sources. In such instances, we have several options to raise needed funds, including selling assets from the subsidiaries’ investment portfolios, using holding company cash (if available), issuing commercial paper, or drawing funds from the five-year senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (of which $445.5 million was available as of September 30, 2020)March 31, 2021). In addition, in January 2018,2021, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. This registration statement allows us to issue equity, debt or other types of securities through one or more methods of distribution. The terms of any offering would be established at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions. If we decide to make an offering of securities, we will consider the nature of the cash requirement as well as the cost of capital in determining what type of securities we may offer.

We typically generate operating cash inflows from premiums collected from our insurance products, fees received for services and income received from our investments while outflows consist of policy acquisition costs, benefits paid and operating expenses. These net cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees, and investment income received and expenses paid.

The decreaseincrease in net cash provided byused in operating activities was primarily due to lower premiums collected from our mobile business due to timing. Net cash used in operating activities for both First Quarter 2021 and First Quarter 2020 was also impacted by the timing of certain cash payments and business activities from our Global Lifestyle business. The primary factors contributing to the decrease in cash from operations included the absence of a prior year receipt of prepaid premiums for our Japan business given subsequent changes in payment terms under the program, an increase in advancedfollow-on commission payments associated with fourth quarter 2020 premiums and full year programs as a result of subscriber growth from mobile protection programs and growth from our Global Automotive business, the timing of cumulativewell as payments to a vendor related to a program initiated in 2019various vendors for acquiringthe acquisition of mobile devices used to meet insurance claims or generate profits through sales to third parties, and an increase in follow-on commission payments associated with both higher fourth quarter 2019 premiums and 2019 full year programs. These decreases were partially offset by higher collections of premium receivable balances mostly due to timing and the receipt of a $204.9 million tax refund, which includes interest, related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act.parties.
