HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.


Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” “we”, “us” or “our”). These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated and all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods have been reflected. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 Form 10-K”).

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 20192020 Form 10-K.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In 2016,The Company has documented the summary of its significant accounting policies in its Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) Financial Instruments – Credit LossesASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit LossesStatements annual report on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new credit reserving model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. Adoption of CECL required the evaluation to establish an allowanceForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 9, 2021.  There have been no material changes to the Company’s reinsurance recoverables, premium receivables and for our available-for-sale debt securities investments. The model requires considerationaccounting policies since the filing of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information and requires an entitythat report.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have had, or are expected to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020, and based on the composition of our reinsurance recoverables, investment portfolio and other financial assets, current economic conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of this standard did not have, a material impact on our condensed consolidatedresults of operations or financial statements and related disclosures. While the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, it required changes to the Company’s process to establish and estimate expected credit losses on available-for-sale investments, reinsurance recoverables and premium receivables.

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Other amendments in the update did not materially impact the Company. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Internal Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The standard was effective on January 1, 2020 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

For information regarding other accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, refer to our 2019 Form 10-K, filed on March 10, 2020, the section of Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements entitled “Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted”.position.

The Company’s unrealized losses on corporate bonds have not been recognized because the bonds are of high credit quality with investment grade ratings of AA- or higher, the Company does not intend to sell and it is unlikely the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is deemed due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The bond issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. After taking into account these and other factors previously described,Further, we believe these unrealized losses generally were caused by a decrease in market interest rates since the time the securities were purchased.

The Company reviews credit losses and the valuation allowance for expected credit losses each quarter. When all or a portion of a debt security is identified as uncollectible and written off, the valuation allowance for expected credit losses is reduced by the same amount. In general, a security is considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts to collect contractual cash flows have been exhausted. The Company considers the following considerations when deeming a security uncollectible:

sufficient information was available to determine the issuer of the security is insolvent;

receipt of notice of filed bankruptcy, and the collectability is expected to be adversely impacted;

issuer has violated multiple debt covenants;

the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized costs; and

receipt of notice indicating that the issuer does not intend to pay the contractual principal and interest.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company sold 0 equity securities nor did it hold any marketable equity securities as of that date.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of approximately $21.9 million and recorded a gross gain of $1.3 million and a gross loss of $1.1 million from the sale of these securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received proceeds from the sale of its holdings in marketable equity securities of approximately $23.8 million and recorded a gross gain of $2.7 million and a gross loss of $1.4 million from the sale of these securities. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had unrealized holding gains of $292,000 recognized on nonmarketable other investments still held at reporting date.

The table below summarizes the Company’s fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2020 by contractual maturity periods. Actual results may differ as issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, with or without penalties, prior to the contractual maturity of those obligations.

The Company evaluates expected credit losses for available-for-sale securities (“AFS”) when fair value is below amortized cost. AFS securities are evaluated for potential credit loss on an individual security level but the evaluation may use assumptions consistent with expectations of credit losses for a group of similar securities. If the Company has the intent to sell or will be required to sell the security before recovery, the entire impairment loss will be recorded through income to net realized gains and losses. If the Company does not have the intent to sell or will not be required to sell the security before recovery, an allowance for credit losses is established and the portion of loss that relates to credit losses is recorded in income to net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and the portion of the loss that relates to the non-credit loss is recorded in Other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2020, the Company did not intend to sell the securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income, and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Further, the Company did not believe itwe had a credit event and therefore did 0t record any credit allowance for securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2020.

The following tables summarizes debt securities available-for-saleMarch 31, 2021. We attribute the price decline and subsequent increase in anour unrealized loss position at December 31, 2019, aggregated by major security category and lengthlosses to interest rates rather than any sort of time in a continued unrealized loss position (in thousands):fundamental deterioration.

Other Investments

Classified in otherNon-Consolidating Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

The Company makes passive investments the Company has interest in limited partnerships (“LPs”), Partnershiplimited liability companies (“LLCs”), and a Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) and Limited Liability CompaniesTrusts (“LLCs”REITs”) totaling $6.4 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these investments.. These investments are carried at net asset value, which approximates fair valueaccounted for using the equity method, with changes in fair value recordedincome reported in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) onand losses or the measurement alternative method, which is reported at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes from observable price changes.

These investments are generally of a passive nature and the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. Investments in these entities are by nature less liquid and may involve more risk than other investments. The Company’s consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

In 2020, the Company entered into agreements for preferred units in the amounts of operations$7.5 million and other comprehensive income.$9.9 million. The preferred units are measured at amortized cost under the guidance of ASC 320 and are subject to a fixed principal and interest payment schedule with maturity dates of February 1, 2023 and April 1, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received $348,000 in interest payments from the preferred units. There is no active market for these investments.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSMEASUREMENTS

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

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

 

Level 1 Inputs to the valuation based onUnadjusted quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilitiesare available in active markets that are accessiblefor identical assets/liabilities as of the measurementreporting date.

 

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation includeValuations based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities inputsat the measurement date; quoted prices in the markets that are not active; or other than quoted pricesinputs that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally fromeither directly or corroborated by observable market data.indirectly.

 

Level 3 InputsPricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the valuation that are unobservable inputs foroverall fair value measurement, and the assetdetermination of fair value requires significant management judgment or liability.estimation.

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

We did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

The following table present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments excluded from the fair value hierarchy

The carrying value of premium receivables and accounts payable, accrued expense, revolving loans and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility bear interest resets periodically at market interest rates. All of these items are considered Level 1 assets and liabilities.

Investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy

The Company has interests in LPs, REITs and LLCs. This investment categorization has the potential for higher returns but also the potential for higher degrees of risk, including less than stable rates of returns and may provide less liquidity. These investments are carried at net asset value, as reported by the managers of the funds, and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill which are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for intangible assets acquired, were based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. For the quarters ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, these non-recurring fair valuevalues inputs consisted of brand, agent relationships, renewal rights, customer relations, trade names, non-compete and goodwill. To evaluate such assets for a potential impairment, we determine the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets using a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market approaches, which contain significant unobservable inputs and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate.

There were 0 non-recurring fair value adjustments to intangible assets and goodwill during the first two quarters of 20202021 and 2019.2020. We record any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

NOTE 5. LEASES

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


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

Components of the Company’sour lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 arewere as follows (in thousands):

Our annual goodwill impairment analysis was performed as of October 1, 2019. Management had determined that an impairment review was appropriate for the first quarter of 2020 given the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived assets were impaired as of March 31, 2020. For the second quarter of 2020 there had been no change in the Company’s qualitative assessment results for its goodwill assessment, and based on that assessment management determined that our goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired for the period ended June 30, 2020.


Other Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets consist of brand, agent relationships, renewal rights, customer relations, trade names, non-competes and insurance licenses. Finite-lived intangibles assets are amortized over their useful lives from 2.5 to fifteen years.

Amortization expense of our intangible assets was $1.6 million and $2.1$1.6 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and $3.2 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. NaN impairment in the value of amortizing or non-amortizing intangible assets was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or 2019.2020.

Due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the number of dilutive shares is the same as the number of basic shares due to the antidilutive impact of the convertible debt and restricted stock under the if-converted method. The convertible notes were excluded from the computations because the conversion price on these notes was greater than the average market price of our common shares during each of the respective periods, and therefore, would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share under the treasury method. The Company had 1,629,503 and 1,889,770 antidilutive shares as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 11.10. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

The Company incurs incremental policy acquisition costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the production of new business. Policy acquisition costs consist of the following four items: (i) commissions paid to outside agents at the time of policy issuance; (ii) policy administration fees paid to a third-party administrator at the time of policy issuance; (iii) premium taxes; and (iv) inspection fees. The Company capitalizes incremental policy acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful efforts of acquiring new or renewed insurance contracts to the extent recoverable, then the Company amortizes those costs over the contract period of the related policy. The Company defers the incurred incremental policy acquisitioncertain costs commonly referred to asin connection with written policies, called deferred policy acquisition costs (“DPAC”), which are amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies.

The statute of limitations related to our federal and state income tax returns remains open from our filings for 2018 through 2020. In April 2019, the Company was notified by the tax authority that the federal income tax returns for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 would be examined. In August 2020, the Company received a notice from the tax authority for the examined tax years, reporting that the returns were accepted as final. No further action will be examined. The Company does not believe the examination results will have an adverse impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.required and no other tax years are under examination.

At June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had 0 significant uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the TCJ Act, and estimated income tax payments that we are deferring to future periods. We do not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on our financial results, including on our annual estimated effective tax rate or on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation may have on our business and financial results.

NOTE 13.12. REINSURANCE

Overview

The Company’s reinsurance program is designed, utilizing the Company’s risk management methodology, to address its exposure to catastrophes or large non-catastrophic losses. The Company’s program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes and winter storms. The Company’s reinsurance agreements are part of its catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide its stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in its property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to the Company’s policyholders.

In order to limit ourthe Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, we purchase significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of our risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of our largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 2019 and 2020, the Company purchased reinsurance from the following sources: (i) the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe fund (“FHCF”) for Florida policies only, (ii) private reinsurers, all of which were rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized, and (iii) the Company’s wholly-owned reinsurance may be on ansubsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”). In addition to purchasing excess of loss orcatastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchased quota share, basis. We also purchase reinsurance forproperty per risk and facultative reinsurance. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses onand provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per


risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a quota share,severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative reinsurance to supplement its per risk or facultative basis. reinsurance program where the Company capacity needs dictate.

Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of our risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of our largest costs.strategy. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of the risk exposure on policies we write to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that our reinsurers are unable to meet the obligations they assume under our reinsurance agreements, we remain liable for the entire insured loss.

OurThe Company’s reinsurance agreements are prospective contracts. We record an asset, prepaid reinsurance premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of our new reinsurance agreements. We amortize ourThe Company generally amortizes its catastrophe reinsurance premiums ratably over the 12-month contract period, which generally begins onis June 1 on a straight-line basis. Ourthrough May 31. Its quota share reinsurance is amortized over the 12-month contract period and is currentlymay be purchased on a calendar or fiscal year basis.


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

OurThe Company’s insurance regulators and rating agency require all insurance companies, like us, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage in order to cover losses and loss adjustment expenses upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event. Our 2020-2021The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of ourits state regulator and rating agency requirements.requirements, which are based on the probable maximum loss that it would incur from an individual catastrophic event estimated to occur once in every 100 years based on its portfolio of insured risks. The nature, severity and location of the event giving rise to such a probable maximum loss differs for each insurer depending on the insurer’s portfolio of insured risks, including, among other things, the geographic concentration of insured value within such portfolio. As a result, a particular catastrophic event could be a one-in-100-year loss event for one insurance company while having a greater or lesser probability of occurrence for another insurance company. WeThe Company also purchasepurchases reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. We shareThe Company shares portions of ourits reinsurance program coverage among ourits insurance company affiliates.

Catastrophe ExcessFor a detailed discussion of Lossour 2020-2021 Reinsurance

Effective June 1, 2020, we entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements covering Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”) Program please Refer to Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”). The catastrophe reinsurance programs are allocated amongst traditional reinsurers, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”) and Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”),Supplementary Data” further “Note 12. Reinsurance” in our captive reinsurer. The FHCF covers Florida risks only and we elected to participate at 90%. Our third-party reinsurers are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or S&P or are fully collateralized, to reduce credit risk.

The reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects the Company for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The 2020-2021 reinsurance program provides first event coverage up to $1.35 billion for Heritage P&C, first event coverage up to $965.0 million for NBIC, and first event coverage up to $690.0 million for Zephyr. Our first event retention in a 1 in 100 year event would include retentionAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the respective insurance company as well as any retention by Osprey. The first event maximum retention up to a 1 in 100 year event for each insurance company subsidiary is as follows: Heritage P&C – $20.0 million; Zephyr – $20.0 million; NBIC – $13.3 million. In a 1 to 100 year event and including Osprey’s retention, the range of loss depending upon the geographic region affected would be between an additional $22.1 million to $41.8 million above the amounts noted for the insurance company retentions.

The majority of our program was placed on a cascading basis which provides greater horizontal protection in a multiple small events scenario and features additional coverage enhancements.

We are responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of our reinsurance program. For second or subsequent catastrophic events, our total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as we may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of $2.6 billion of limit purchased in 2020 includes reinstatement through the purchase of reinstatement premium protection. In total, we have purchased $2.6 billion of potential reinsurance coverage, including our retention, for multiple catastrophic events. The amount of coverage, however, will be subject to the severity and frequency of such events.

The Company's estimated net cost for the 2020-2021 catastrophe reinsurance programs is approximately $272.1 million.

Gross Quota Share Reinsurance

NBIC did not enter into a gross quota share reinsurance program for the contract term beginning June 1, 2019, nor was a gross quota share reinsurance program entered into in 2020. For the 2018 contract term, NBIC purchased an 8% gross quota share reinsurance treaty effective June 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019 which provided ground up loss recoveries of up to $1.0 billion.

Net Quota Share Reinsurance

Our Net Quota Share coverage is proportional reinsurance, which applies to business underwritten by NBIC, for which certain of our other reinsurance (property catastrophe excess of loss and the second layer of the general excess of loss) inures to the quota share program. An occurrence limit of $20.0 million for catastrophe losses is in effect on the quota share program, subject to certain aggregate loss limits that vary by reinsurer. The amount and rate of ceding commissions slide, within a prescribed minimum and maximum, depending on loss performance. The Net Quota Share program was renewed onended December 31, 2019 ceding 56% of2020, which was filed with the net premiums and losses and 5% of the prior year quota share is in run off.


Aggregate Coverage

$976.0 million of limit is structuredSEC on an aggregate basis (Top and Aggregate, Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, Multi-Zonal and northeast only). To the extent that this coverage is not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, it provides coverage commencing at its reduced retention for second and subsequent events where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. The Company purchased reinstatement premium protection for $621.0 million of this coverage, which can be reinstated one time. Layers (with exception to FHCF) are “net” of a $40.0 million attachment point. Layers inure to the subsequent layers if the aggregate limit of the preceding layer(s) is exhausted, and a portion of the subsequent layer cascades down in its place.

Additionally, for business underwritten by NBIC, we placed 42.5% of an aggregate contract to cover, all catastrophe losses excluding named storms from December 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The limit on the contract was $20.0 million, with a retention of $20.0 million and franchise deductible of $1.0 million. This program was not replaced.

We placed 100% of an occurrence contract for our business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 31, 2019, expiring December 31, 2020. The limit on the contract is $20.0 million with a retention of $20.0 million and has 1 reinstatement available.

Per Risk Coverage

For losses arising from business underwritten by Heritage P&C and losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, excluding losses from named storms, the Company purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1.0 million per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is $9.0 million and total limit for all losses is $27.0 million. There are 2 reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. For losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, the Company purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustments expenses in excess of $750,000 per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is $250,000 and total limit for all losses is $750,000. There are 2 reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted.

In addition, the Company purchased facultative reinsurance for losses in excess of $10.0 million for any properties it insured where the total insured value exceeded $10.0 million. This coverage applies to losses arising from business underwritten by Heritage P&C and losses arising commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, excluding losses from named storms.

General Excess of Loss

Our general excess of loss reinsurance protects business underwritten by NBIC and Zephyr multi-peril policies from single risk losses. The coverage is in 2 layers in excess of our retention of the first $400,000 of loss. The first layer is $350,000 excess $400,000 for property and casualty and the second layer for property is $2.75 million excess $750,000. The second layer for casualty is $1.25 million excess $750,000. This coverage was in place from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

In addition, we purchased facultative reinsurance for losses underwritten by NBIC in excess of $3.5 million.9, 2021.

NOTE 14.13. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date. We estimate our IBNR reserves by projecting our ultimate losses using industry accepted actuarial methods and then deducting actual loss payments and case reserves from the projected ultimate losses.

COVID-19 and Other Matters

With regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Approximately 50% of our total personnel are either working from home full-time or on a hybrid schedule between office and home. Our corporate and remote offices remain operational, we provideare practicing social distancing, and have enhanced cleaning protocols and are using personal residential insuranceprotective equipment in twelve eastern states and commercial residential insurance in three of those states.

Impact of Coronavirusemploying other preventative measures.

We continue to monitor the short- andshort-and long-term impacts of COVID-19 virus and its variants, a global pandemic that has caused a significant slowdown in the global economy beginning in March 2020. DuringFor the six monthsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2020, we saw limitedvirtually no impact to our business. As a residential property insurer, we view our business to beas somewhat insulated asbecause property owners and renters generally view our products as a necessity. The majority of our gross and net premiums written are from renewals of expiring policies. New business, which accounts for a smaller portion of our revenue, may be impacted if consumers are not buying as many new homes in our geographies, but this could be partially or fully offset by increased retention in our renewal portfolio. In a prolonged recessionary and social-distancing environment, we could experience disruptions to our independent agency distribution channel, which may have a negative impact on our revenues and financial condition.

Although we have not experienced a significant amount of payment delays, or non-payment, there may be delays in premium payments in geographies that might require us to grant policyholders additional time to pay their premiums and, under prolonged recessionary economic conditions, we could experience more significant delays in premium payments and possibly non-payment of premiums.

Global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. Although we were relatively unaffected by the condition of the credit markets, if the credit and financial markets again experience significant deterioration at a time when we need additional liquidity, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, and more dilutive. Notwithstanding these actual and potential impacts, we currently believe that our cash on hand, revolving credit facility and expected earnings give us sufficient liquidity to fund our operations. However, if we need additional liquidity at a time when equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, and more dilutive.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the TCJ Act, and estimated income tax payments that we are deferring to future periods. We do not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on our liquidity or our financial results, including onexcept for the benefit associated with a 5-year carryback of our annual estimated effective2020 tax rate or on our liquidity.net operating loss. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation may have on our business and financial results.

Gross premiums written

Gross premiums written were $519.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up 11.7% from $465.2 million in the prior year period. The increase reflects 11.8% growth outside Florida and 11.5% growth in Florida, with positive growth across all states and lines of business. Commercial residential business represented 45.9% of the Florida growth.

Gross premiums earned

Gross premiums earned were $476.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up 3.9% from $458.5 million95.2% in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher gross premiums written over the past twelve months.

Ceded premiums earned

Ceded premiums earned were $221.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down 5.7% from $234.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in the cost of our 2019-2020 catastrophe reinsurance program and a reduction in overall quota share reinsurance coverage, partly offset by the higher cost of our 2020-2021 catastrophe reinsurance program. The higher cost of the 2020-2021 catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance program was partially diluted by increased use of our captive reinsurer, Osprey Re. Our gross quota share reinsurance program was reduced from 18.75% to 8.0% effective June 1, 2018 and was eliminated effective June 1, 2019, while our net quota share reinsurance program increased from 52.0% to 56.0% effective December 31, 2019. Our excess-of-loss catastrophe reinsurance programs incept on June 1st of each year and run for twelve months.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned were $255.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up 14.0% from $223.8 million in the prior year period. The increase reflects higher gross premiums earned and lower ceded premiums earned, as described above.

Net investment income

Net investment income, inclusive of realized investment gains and unrealized gains on equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $7.0 million, down from $9.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to unrealized gains on equity securities in the prior year period. Investment income on the fixed income portfolio declined by $536,000 due to lower interest rates.

Other revenue

Other revenue was $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down from $7.5 million in the prior year period. The decline primarily stems from a reduction in non-insurance income.


Total revenue

Total revenue was $268.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up 11.5% from $241.1 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from higher net premiums earned, as described above.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) were $147.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up $10.6 million from $136.4 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from higher retained weather losses and lower cost savings from vertically integrated operations, partly offset by more favorable prior year reserve development.

Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs were $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, up 13.5% from $53.1 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to higher acquisition costs associated with gross premiums written growth and reduced ceding commission income. Ceding commissions decreased in the current year period due to a reduction to our overall quota share reinsurance program, as described above.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, up 12.6% from $37.0 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount associated with premium growth and lower ceding commission income associated with a reduction to our overall quota share reinsurance program, as described above.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down $413,000 from $4.1 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease stems from a lower principal amount of outstanding debt and a lower blended interest rate.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes was $4.3 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current year period was 26.7%, 0.4 points higher than the prior year’s 26.3%. The higher effective tax rate relates to permanent tax differences and a higher overall state income tax rate associated with our diversification outside Florida. The effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information throughout the year.


Net income

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $11.8 million ($0.42 per diluted share) compared to $7.7 million ($0.26 cents per diluted share) in the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects higher net premiums earned and a lower net loss ratio, partly offset by lower investment gains and other income and a modestly higher effective tax rate.

Ceded premium ratio

The ceded premium ratio was 46.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down 4.7 points from 51.2 % in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in the cost of our 2019-2020 catastrophe reinsurance program and a reduction in overall quota share reinsurance coverage, partly offset by the higher cost of our 2020-2021 catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance program.

Net loss and LAE ratio

The net loss and LAE ratio was 57.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, down 3.3 points from 61.0% in the prior year period. The decrease primarily stems from higher favorable prior year reserve development and a lower ceded premium ratio, partly offset by lower income from vertically integrated operations and higher retained weather losses. Catastrophe and weather losses in the current six month period primarily stemmed from hail, tornado and wind events in the southeast.

Net expense ratio

The net expense ratio, was 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, relatively flat from 40.3% in the prior year period. The decrease primarily stems from modest reductions in both the policy acquisition costs ratio and the G&A ratio resultant from the increase in net earned premiums.

Net combined ratio

The net combined ratio was 97.6% for six months ended June 30, 2020, down 3.7 points from 101.3% in the prior year period. The decrease stems from lower net loss and expense ratios, as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, our cash, and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $288.3$402.8 million of cash and cash equivalents which primarily consistedand $650.7 million in investments, compared to $441.0 million and $589.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in cash and money market accounts. cash equivalents was due primarily to the decrease in investment of funds held in cash at December 31, 2020, which was partly offset by cash provided by operating activities.

We generally hold substantial cash balances to meet seasonal liquidity needs including amounts to pay quarterly reinsurance installments as well as meet the collateral requirements of Osprey, Re Ltd. (“Osprey”), our captive reinsurance company. In addition, we have $11.8 million in restricted cash primarily related our contractual obligations related to the catastrophe bonds issued by Citrus Re Ltd. as well as state insurance department depository requirements.

Ospreycompany, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates. At June 30, 2020, approximately $20.0 million was held in Osprey’s trust account.

Although we can provide no assurances, weWe believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay our insurance company affiliates’ claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the eventsources of unforeseen events such as inadequate premium rates or reserve deficiencies. We believe our current capital resources, including funds available under our revolving credit facility, together with cash provided from our operations, will be sufficientare adequate to meet currently anticipated working capitalour cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequatemay continue to diversify riskpursue the acquisition of complementary businesses and safeguardmake strategic investments. We may increase capital expenditures consistent with our financial position.investment plans and anticipated growth strategy. Cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund such expenditures. As such, in addition to the use of our existing Credit Facilities, we may need to utilize additional debt to secure funds for such purposes.

The Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2037, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 1, 2037, other than during the period from, and including, February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2017, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (2) during the ten consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Convertible Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was initially 67.0264 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.92 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances and is subject to increase for holders that elect to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with certain corporate transactions (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture)) that occur prior to August 5, 2022.

The loan originated on December 12, 2018 and bears a fixed interest rate of 3.094% with interest payments due quarterly commencing in March 2019. The principal balance on the loan has a maturity date of December 13, 2023. In connection with the agreement, the subsidiary became a member of FHLB. Membership in the FHLB required an investment in FHLB’s common stock which was purchased on December 31, 2018 and valued at $1.4 million. The subsidiary is permitted to withdraw any portion of the pledged collateral over the minimum collateral requirement at any time, other than in the event of a default by the subsidiary. The proceeds from the loan was used to prepay the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (“Senior Notes”) in 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed within our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” we adopted on January 1, 2020, ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, and we have made no further material changes or additions with regard to such policies and estimates.

Seasonality of our Business

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have transactions with unconsolidated entities, such as entities often referred to as structured financial or special purpose entities, whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interest, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financial, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our investment portfolios at June 30, 2020 included fixed maturity and equity securities,The duration of the purposes of whichfinancial instruments held in our portfolio that are not for trading or speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet policyholder obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities’ prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Investment securities are managed by a group of nationally recognized asset managers and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our board of directors. Our investment portfolios are primarily exposedsubject to interest rate risk was 3.744 years at March 31, 2021, 3.137 years at March 31, 2020, and 3.615 years at December 31, 2020.  Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations. Credit risk is managed by maintaining a high credit risk and equity price risk. We classify ourquality fixed maturity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, netportfolio. As of deferred income taxes, as a componentMarch 31, 2021, the estimated weighted-average credit quality rating of other comprehensive income within our stockholders’ equity. We evaluate our available-for-sale securities for future expected credit losses and report any allowance in the income statement. We classify our equity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses in the income statement. As such, any material temporary changes in the fair value of such securities can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risk

Our fixed maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. portfolio was A+, at fair value, consistent with the average rating at December 31, 2020.

We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.

In addition, we have variable interest rate indebtedness underand market risk sensitive instruments in our Credit Facilities which bears interest at a rate that references LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020 we had in aggregate $65.6 million principal outstanding underAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the Term Loan Facility bearing interest at 4.10% per annum and $10.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at 4.36% per annum. There is currently uncertainty about whether LIBOR will continue to exist after 2021. The discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021 and the replacement with an alternative reference rate may adversely impact interest rates and our interest expense could increaseyear ended

Credit Risk

Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer of our fixed maturities. We mitigate this risk by investing in fixed maturities that are generally investment grade and by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or market sector. A majority of the securities in an unrealized gain position as of June 30, 2020 held an A rating or better. We do not intend to sell these investments until recovery of their amortized cost basis or maturity, and further believe that it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell these investments prior to that time.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of our employees continue to work from home or are on a hybrid schedule working both at our offices and from home. Established business continuity plans have been activated in order to continue business operations while mitigating any adverse impact to our control environment, operating procedures, data and internal controls. The design of our processes and controls allow for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting for the period ending June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flow.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company documented its risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2019Item 1A of Part I of its annual report on Form 10-K set forth information relatingfor the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 9, 2021. There have been no material changes to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. Thosethe Company’s risk factors continue to be relevant to an understandingsince the filing of our business, financial condition, and operating results.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic may adversely affect our business, including revenues, profitability, results of operations, and/or cash flows, in a manner and to a degree that cannot be predicted but could be material.report.

Beginning in March 2020, the global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 began to impact the global economy and our results of operations. The cumulative effects of COVID-19 on the Company, and the effect of any other epidemic, pandemic or public health outbreak, cannot be predicted at this time, but could include, without limitation:

We expect that the impact of COVID-19 on general economic activity could negatively impact our premium volumes. While we did not experience this impact for the first quarter of 2020, we anticipate premium volumes, particularly in new sales volumes, could be adversely affected prospectively if economic conditions worsen and home purchases in our geographies decline materially. If premium volumes were to decrease materially, our earned premium would also decline and we could experience an increase in our net operating expense ratio.

States and local governments have launched measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including travel bans, quarantines and lock-downs of affected areas which could cause disruption to our distribution channel of independent agents which may have a negative impact on our revenues and financial condition.

In an effort to support insurance consumers during this pandemic, most states where we market our products have issued mandates or requests such as moratoriums on policy cancellations or non-renewals for non-payments of premiums, forbearance on premium collections, waivers of late payment fees and extended periods in which policyholders may make their missed payments. Such actions may result in delayed premium receipts, disrupting cash flows and increasing credit risk from policyholders unable to make timely premium payments.

Increased claims, losses, litigation, and related expenses, as well as higher costs related to delays in adjusting claims, as a result of stay-at-home orders and quarantines;

increased volatility and declines in financial markets which, could negatively impact liquidity and credit availability and could continue to reduce the fair market value of, or result in the impairment of, invested assets held by the Company; and

the decline in interest rates which could reduce future investment results.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future, and the potential for a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity increases the longer the virus impacts activity levels in the United States and globally. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease.
