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, ~~2019~~2020 (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 ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K. ~~The following policies are new or revised disclosures or disclosures required on a quarterly basis.~~

Reclassification

~~Reclassification~~

Certain prior year amounts reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

~~Recently Adopted~~ Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

~~Measurement~~The Company has documented the summary of ~~Credit Losses~~its significant accounting policies in its Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements annual report on ~~Financial Instruments~~

~~In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit LossesASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Measurement of Credit Losses 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 allowance~~Form 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 consideration~~accounting policies since the filing of ~~a broader range of reasonable and supportable information and requires an entity~~that 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 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ~~While the adoption of this guidance did not~~ have, a material impact on the Company’s ~~condensed consolidated~~results of operations or financial ~~statements, it required changes to~~position.

Includes securities at September 30, 2020 with a carrying amount of $23.5 million that were pledged as collateral for the advance agreement entered into with a financial institution in 2018. The Company is permitted to withdraw or exchange any portion of the pledged collateral over the minimum requirement at any time.

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 A- 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 not deemed ~~due~~to relate to credit but 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, we believe these unrealized losses generally were caused by a decrease in market interest rates since~~Based on the ~~time the securities were purchased.~~

~~The Company reviews credit losses and the valuation allowance for~~Company’s expected credit ~~losses each quarter. When all or a portion of a debt security is identified as uncollectible~~loss criteria 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 0 marketable equity securities nor did it hold any marketable equity securities as of that date. For the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received proceeds from the sale of its holdings in marketable equity securities of approximately $26.5 million. The sale resulted in a gross gain of $2.4 million and a gross loss of $1.2 million, related primarily to unrealized holding gains or losses in certain marketable equity securities.

~~At September 30, 2019, the Company had unrealized net holding gains of $993,600 recognized on nonmarketable other investments still held.~~

~~The table below summarizes the Company’s fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2020 by contractual maturity periods.

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 September 30, 2020, the Company did not intend to sell 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 it had0t record a ~~credit event and therefore did 0t record any~~ credit allowance for securities that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, ~~2020.~~

~~The following tables summarizes debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position~~2021. There were neither any credit events nor credit allowances recorded at December 31, ~~2019, aggregated by major security category and length of time in a continued unrealized loss position (in thousands):~~

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.

In 2020, the Company entered into agreements for preferred units in the amounts of $7.5 million and $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, 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company ~~has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ~~INSTRUMENTS~~MEASUREMENTS

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

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



Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets/liabilities as of the reporting date.



Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in the markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.



Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

•

~~Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.~~

•

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

•

~~Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.~~

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

We The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 or December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The following tables 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~~the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under ~~our~~the Company’s 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. The Company maintains various interests in other markets of which are without a readily determinable fair value and are measured at amortized cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments or at net asset value. The Company reviews these investments each reporting period to determine whether an impairment or observable price change for the investment has occurred. When such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to its cost basis in the investment. Gains or losses from a change in fair value are included with other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the period.

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 September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, these non-recurring fair ~~value~~values 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 Company determines 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 three~~third quarters of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019. We record~~2020. The Company records any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

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.~~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~~the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease obligations. The ~~Company~~Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

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

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 and management concluded there was 0 impairment. For the third quarter of 2020 there has 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 September 30, 2020.

~~Our~~The Company’s 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.~~

Due to the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~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 the Company’s 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 ~~1,819,503~~2,677,355 and ~~2,139,770~~1,819,503 antidilutive shares as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively.

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 acquisition~~certain costs ~~commonly referred to as~~in connection with written policies, called deferred policy acquisition costs (“DPAC”), which are amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies.

NOTE 12. REINSURANCE

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.Overview

~~NOTE 13. 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 ~~our~~the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, ~~we purchase~~the Company purchases significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of the Company’s largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 2020 and 2021, 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 an~~subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”). In addition to purchasing excess of loss orcatastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchased quota share, ~~basis. We also purchase reinsurance for~~property per risk and facultative reinsurance. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses ~~on a quota share,~~and provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative ~~basis.~~ reinsurance to supplement its per risk reinsurance program where the Company capacity needs dictate.

Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of ~~our~~the Company’s 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~~the Company’s reinsurers are unable to meet the obligations they assume under ~~our~~the Company’s reinsurance agreements, ~~we remain~~the Company remains liable for the entire insured loss.

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

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

~~Our~~The 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 2020-2021~~The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of ~~our~~its 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 ~~purchase~~purchases reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. ~~We share~~The Company shares portions of ~~our~~its reinsurance program coverage among ~~our~~its insurance company affiliates.

2021-2022 Reinsurance Program

Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance

Effective June 1, ~~2020, we~~2021, the Company entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements covering Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”) and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”). The catastrophe reinsurance programs are allocated ~~amongst~~among traditional reinsurers, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”) and Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”), ~~our~~the Company’s captive reinsurer. The FHCF covers Florida risks only and wethe Company elected to participate at ~~90%~~90%. ~~Our~~For the 2021 hurricane season, Osprey Re will provide reinsurance only for a portion of the Heritage P&C program, covering the southeastern region. The Company’s third-party reinsurers are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or S&P or are fully collateralized, to reduce credit risk.

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~~2021-2022 reinsurance program provides first event coverage up to ~~$1.35~~$1.43 billion for Heritage P&C, first event coverage up to ~~$965.0 million~~$1.1 billion for NBIC, and first event coverage up to ~~$690.0~~$680.0 million for Zephyr. ~~Our~~The Company’s first event retention in a 1 in 100 year event would include retention for the respective insurance company as well as any retention by Osprey. The first

event maximum retention up to a 1 in 100 year event for each insurance company subsidiary is as follows: Heritage P&C – ~~$20.0 million;~~$32.0 million, which would be 100% ceded to Osprey; Zephyr – ~~$20.0~~$32 million; and NBIC – $~~13.3~~20.7 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~~the Company’s 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~~ The Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of our reinsurance program. For second or subsequent catastrophic events, ~~our~~the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as wethe Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of ~~$2.6~~$2.8 billion of limit purchased in ~~2020~~2021 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~~2021-2022 catastrophe reinsurance programs is approximately ~~$272.1~~$312.0 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~~The Company’s Net Quota Share coverage is proportional reinsurance, which applies to business underwritten by NBIC, for which certain of ~~our~~the Company’s other reinsurance (property catastrophe excess of loss and the second layer of the general excess of loss) inures to the quota share program. An occurrence limit of ~~$20.0~~$20.0 million for catastrophe losses is in effect on the quota share program, subject to certain aggregate loss limits that vary by reinsurer. The amount and rate of ceding commissions slide, within a prescribed minimum and maximum, depending on loss performance. The Net Quota Share program was renewed on December 31, ~~2019~~2020 ceding ~~56%~~56.5% of the net premiums and losses and 5%3% of the prior year quota share is in run off.

~~Aggregate Coverage~~

$976.0 million of limit is structured 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%~~100% of an occurrence contract for ~~our~~the Company’s business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, expiring December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The limit on the contract is ~~$20.0~~$20.0 million with a retention of ~~$20.0~~$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~~$1.0 million per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is ~~$9.0~~$9.0 million and total limit for all losses is ~~$27.0~~$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~~$750,000 per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is ~~$250,000~~$250,000 and total limit for all losses is ~~$750,000.~~$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~~$10.0 million for any properties it insured where the total insured value exceeded ~~$10.0~~$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~~The Company’s general excess of loss reinsurance protects business underwritten by NBIC and Zephyr multi-peril policies from single risk losses. For the contract period of July 1, ~~2020~~2021 through June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the coverage is in 2 layers in excess of ~~our~~the Company’s retention of the first ~~$500,000~~$500,000 of loss. The first layer is ~~$250,000~~$250,000 excess ~~$500,000~~$500,000 for property and casualty losses and the second layer for property losses is ~~$2.75~~$2.75 million excess ~~$750,000.~~$750,000. The second layer for casualty losses is ~~$1.25~~$1.25 million excess $750,000. For the contract period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, 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 losses and the second layer for property losses is $2.75 million excess $750,000. The second layer for casualty losses is $1.25 million excess $750,000.$750,000

In addition, wethe Company purchased facultative reinsurance for losses underwritten by NBIC in excess of ~~$3.5~~$3.5 million.

NOTE ~~22.~~21. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Common, Restricted and ~~Restricted~~Performance-based Stock

The Company has adopted the Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective on May 22, 2014. The Plan authorized 2,981,737 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan for future grants. The Company’s plan allows for a variety of equity awards including stock options, restricted stock awards and performance-based awards.

At September 30, ~~2020~~2021 there were ~~1,063,013~~939,691 shares available for grant under the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense under ASC 718 for its stock-based payments based on the fair value of the awards.

~~In September 2020,~~During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company ~~granted 5,000~~issued to its Chief Executive Officer 95,878 performance-based restricted shares with a market value at the time of grant of $10.43 per share.

In addition, the ~~Agreement. The fair~~Company issued this executive 47,939 time-based restricted shares with a market value at the time of grant of $10.43 per share. The time-based restricted shares will vest in three equal installments of 15,979 on December 31, 2021, and 15,980 on December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued to its Chief Financial Officer 28,012 performance-based restricted shares with a market value at the time of grant of 10.71 per share. The performance-based restricted shares have a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 and will vest following the end of the performance period but no later than March 5, 2024. The number of shares that will be earned at the end of the performance period is subject to decrease based on the ~~date~~results of the performance condition. In addition, the Company issued this executive 14,006 time-based restricted shares with a market value at the time of grant of $10.71 per share. The time-based restricted shares will vest in three equal installments 4,668 on December 31, 2021 and 4,669 on December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

For awards with performance-based vesting conditions expense is not recognized until it is determined that it is probable the ~~shares was $10.83 and the associated~~performance-based conditions will be met. When achievement of a performance-based condition is probable, a catch-up of expense will be ~~amortized ratably~~recorded as if the award had been vesting on a straight-line basis from the award date. The award will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis until probability of achieving the performance-based conditions changes, if applicable. For awards with only a service condition, the Company expenses stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the ~~term of~~requisite service period for the ~~vesting period commencing on the date of the grant.~~entire award.

In April 2020, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock to an employee of the Company. The stock award vests in 2 equal installments of 5,000 shares on April 6, 2021 and 2022 subject to continued employment. The fair market value on the date of grant of the shares was $10.60 and the associated compensation expense will be amortized ratably over the term of the vesting period commencing on date of the grant.

The Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates the options are granted. Any options granted would typically have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and vest primarily in equal annual installments over a range of one to five-year periods following the date of grant for employee options. If a participant’s employment relationship ends, the participant’s vested awards would remain exercisable for the shorter of a period of 30 days or the period ending on the latest date on which such award couldThe Company has not granted any stock options since 2015 and all unexercised stock options have since been exercisable. The fair value of each option grant is separately estimated for each grant date. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the award and each vesting date.forfeited.

The Company has also granted shares of its common stock subject to certain restrictions under the Plan. Restricted stock awards granted to employee’s vest in equal installments generally over a five-year period from the grant date subject to the recipient’s continued employment. The fair value of restricted stock awards is estimated by the market price at the date of grant and amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the period of vesting. Recipients of restricted stock awards have the right to receive dividends.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and information included and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (“~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K”). Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “our Company”, and similar references refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., is a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company that primarily provides personal and commercial residential insurance ~~through~~products across its multi-state footprint. We provide personal residential insurance ~~company subsidiaries. We are~~in sixteen states and commercial residential insurance in three of those states, while maintaining licenses in one additional state. As a vertically integrated ~~and~~insurer, we control or manage substantially all aspects of ~~insurance~~ underwriting, customer service, actuarial analysis, distribution and claims processing and adjusting.

This discussion should be read in ~~three of those states. We also write personal residential insurance on an admitted basis~~conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in ~~Hawaii and in California on an excess and surplus lines basis.~~this document.

Our operating subsidiaries include, but are not limited to: Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), which provides personal and commercial residential property insurance and commercial general liability insurance; Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”), which provides personal and commercial residential property insurance; Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”), which provides personal residential wind-only property and multi-peril property insurance in Hawaii; Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”), our captive reinsurance subsidiary that may provide a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance company subsidiaries; Heritage MGA, LLC, our managing general agent; NBIC Service Company, which provides services to NBIC; and Contractors’ Alliance Network, LLC (“CAN”), our vendor network manager for claims and provider of restoration, emergency and recovery services.

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 working from home. Our corporate and remote offices remain operational, and we are practicing social distancing, enhanced cleaning protocols, usage of personal protective equipment and other preventative measures.

We continue to monitor the ~~short-and~~short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 ~~a global pandemic that has caused a significant slowdown in~~virus and its variants. For the ~~global economy beginning in March 2020. During the nine months~~year ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2020, we saw ~~limited~~negligible impact to our ~~business.~~business, and that trend has continued through the third quarter of 2021. As a residential property insurer, we view our business as somewhat insulated because 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. Increases in the cost of materials and labor for home repairs can influence our losses associated with claims. To the extent state and local requirements allow employees to return to the office, the Company has implemented return-to-office and hybrid programs, with the latter including a combination of in-office and remote work.

Climate change, to the extent it produces extreme changes in temperatures and changes in weather patterns, could affect the frequency or severity of weather-related catastrophes. The incidence and severity of catastrophes are inherently unpredictable and the extent of losses from a catastrophe is a function of both the total amount of insured exposure in the area affected and the severity of the event. Although we attempt to manage our exposure to catastrophes through our underwriting process and the purchase of reinsurance protection, an especially severe catastrophe or series of catastrophes could exceed our reinsurance protection and may have ~~not experienced~~ a ~~significant amount~~material adverse impact on our results of payment delays, or non-payment, there may be delays in premium payments in geographies that 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.

Further, an increased incidence of catastrophic weather events could impact the cost and ~~disruptions as a result~~availability 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. 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.reinsurance program.

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 on~~except for the benefit associated with a 5-year carryback of our ~~annual estimated effective~~2020 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.

Ceded premiums earned were $399.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, up 18.1% from $338.2 million in the prior year period. The increase is attributable to an increase in the cost of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program and an increase in TIV associated with premium growth as well as higher premium for our severe convective storm reinsurance coverage.

Net premiums earned were $451.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, up 14.7% from $393.3 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from higher gross premiums earned, ~~and lower~~partly offset by higher ceded premiums, ~~earned,~~ as described above.

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$509.6~~$393.4 million of cash and cash equivalents ~~which~~and $686.1 million in investments, compared to $441.0 million and $589.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily ~~consisted~~due to the allocation of cash ~~and money market accounts.~~ used for investing 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. During the third quarter of 2020, we benefitted from favorable pricing on certain fixed income security investments and recognized significant realized gains for the quarter. We intends to methodically re-invest the cash proceeds as opportunities are identified. In addition, we have $5.4 million in restricted cash primarily related to our state insurance department depository requirements.

~~Osprey~~company, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates. ~~At September 30, 2020, approximately $36 million was held in Osprey’s trust account.~~

~~On November 2, 2020, we announced~~We believe that our ~~Board~~sources of Directors extended our existing stock repurchase program by one year to a December 31, 2021 expiration and increased the authorization under the program from the $23.8 million remaining to $50 million. Wecash are authorized to repurchase up to $50 million of our common stock through December 31, 2021 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows us to repurchase shares below a predetermined price per share. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined based on market conditions and other factors and the program may be discontinued or suspended at any time.

Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay our insurance company affiliates’ claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event 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 sufficientadequate to meet ~~currently anticipated working capital~~our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We ~~maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate~~may continue to ~~diversify risk~~pursue the acquisition of complementary businesses and ~~safeguard~~make 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$118.6~~$70.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of ~~$116.2~~$118.6 million for the comparable period in ~~2019.~~2020. The decrease in cash from operating activities relates primarily to timing of cash flows associated with claim and reinsurance ~~deposit premium~~ payments as well as reinsurance reimbursements during the first nine months of ~~2020~~2021 compared to the first nine months of ~~2019.~~2020.

Net cash ~~provided by~~used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$136.6~~$110.3 million as compared to net cash ~~used~~provided by of ~~$100.6~~$136.6 million for the comparable period in ~~2019.~~2020.

On December 14, 2018, the Company ~~as borrower,~~ entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Regions Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Hancock Whitney Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with the guarantors and Lenders. The Fifth Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the revolving credit facility from $50 million to $75 million and make related changes to the Credit Agreement, (ii) provide for a $13.75 million advance under the existing $75 million term loan facility for an aggregate of $70 million principal amount outstanding as of the date of the Fifth Amendment, extend the maturity of the term loan facility from December of 2023 to July 2026 and reduce the amortization of the term loan facility, (iii) reduce the applicable margin for loans under the Credit Agreement to 2.5% to 3.0% per annum for LIBOR loans (reduced from the prior range of 3.25% to 3.75%) and 1.5% to 2.0% per annum for base rate loans (reduced from the prior range of 2.25% to 2.75%), in each case based on a consolidated leverage ratio ranging from less than or equal to 1.25-to-1 to greater than 2.25-to-1 (previously less than or equal to 2.0-to-1 to greater than 3.0-to-1), (iv) reduce the restriction on negative covenants thereby allowing the Company greater flexibility and (iv) provide mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate and replace LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, as amended, the participating Lenders agreed to provide (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of ~~$50~~$75 million (inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had in aggregate ~~$61.9~~$70 million principal outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, which was increased to $70 million on the date of the Fifth Amendment, and ~~$10.0 million of~~no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to LIBOR (based on one, two, three or six-month interest periods), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR index rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities, as amended, varies from ~~3.25% per annum~~2.5% to ~~3.75%~~3.0% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and ~~2.25%~~1.5% to ~~2.75%~~2.0% per annum (for base rate loans) based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the ~~Company’s effective~~borrowing under our Credit Facilities were accruing interest at a rate ~~for both the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.44%~~of 3.38% per annum.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined ~~based on~~by our consolidated leverage ratio.

Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility mature on December ~~14, 2023.~~31, 2026. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1,875,000 per quarter, payable ~~monthly or~~ quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and increasing to $1,375,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with the balance payable at maturity.

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

All obligations under the Credit Facilities are or will be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than all of the Company’s current and future regulated insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The Company and the Guarantors entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement, on December 14, 2018 (the “Security Agreement”), in favor of Regions Bank, as collateral agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and each Guarantor (subject to certain exceptions), including all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, other than its regulated insurance subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Company is required to maintain, as of each fiscal quarter (1) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of ~~3.25~~2.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ~~ending on or before December 31, 2019,~~in 2021, stepping down ~~on each of the three anniversaries~~to 2.50 to 1.00 in 2022 and thereafter; (2) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 and (3) a minimum consolidated net worth for the Company and its subsidiaries. Events of default include, among other events, (i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (ii) failure to perform or observe certain covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement; (iii) breach of any representation or warranty; (iv) cross-default to other indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; (vi) monetary judgment defaults and material nonmonetary judgment defaults; (vii) customary ERISA defaults; (viii) a change of control of the Company; and (ix) failure to maintain specified catastrophe retentions in each of the Company’s regulated insurance subsidiaries.

On August 10, 2017, the Company and Heritage MGA, LLC (the ~~“Guarantor”~~“Notes Guarantor”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”) ~~(the “Offering”)~~. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations,

warranties and agreements of the Company and the Notes Guarantor and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The net proceeds from the ~~Offering,~~offering of the Convertible Notes, after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $120.5 million. The ~~Offering~~offering of the Convertible Notes was completed on August 16, 2017.

The Company issued the Convertible Notes under an Indenture (the “Convertible Note Indenture”), dated August 16, 2017, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Notes Guarantor, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year. Interest ~~began accruing on August 16, 2017 and~~ is payable semi-annually in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each ~~year, starting on February 1, 2018.~~year. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness or other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries other than the Notes Guarantor, which fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

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.

During the period from and including February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, and on or after February 1, 2037 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2037, holders may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

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.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture), holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal

to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Except as described below, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 5, 2022. On or after August 5, 2022 but prior to February 1, 2037, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Convertible Notes periodically. Holders of the Convertible Notes are able to cause the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on any of August 1, 2022, August 1, 2027 and August 1, 2032, in each case at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.

The Convertible Note Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (as set forth in the Convertible Note Indenture) with respect to the Company, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable.

~~In the third quarter~~As of ~~2018, the Company repurchased $10.6 million principal amount of Convertible Notes for cash. In the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased~~September 30, 2021, there were Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of ~~$81.6~~$23.4 million ~~for a combination of cash~~issued and ~~the issuance of an aggregate of 3,880,653 shares of the Company’s common stock, leaving~~

~~$23.4 million in aggregate principal amount~~ outstanding. ~~There were no repurchases of Convertible Notes in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 or in the first three quarters of 2020.~~

In December 2018, a subsidiary of the Company pledged U.S. government and agency fixed maturity securities with an estimated fair value of $31.0 million as collateral and received $19.2 million in a cash loan under an advance agreement with the ~~Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)~~FHLB Atlanta. 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.

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~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed within our ~~2019~~2020 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.~~

~~The following table represents our contractual obligations for which cash flows are fixed or determinable as of September 30, 2020:~~

Our insurance business is ~~seasonal as~~seasonal; 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.

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.

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.

~~Our investment portfolios~~The duration of the financial instruments held in our portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk was 3.891 years at September 30, 2021, 2.971 years at September 30, 2020, ~~included fixed maturity~~ and ~~equity securities, the purposes of which are not for trading or speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity~~3.615 years at December 31, 2020. Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet ~~policyholder obligations while minimizing market~~its obligations. Credit 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 maintaining 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 exposed to interest rate risk,~~high credit ~~risk and equity price risk. We classify our~~quality fixed maturity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component 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.

Our fixed maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.

~~The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates to the fair value of our fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2020 (in thousands):~~

~~Credit~~rate and market risk ~~can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes~~sensitive instruments in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for 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 September 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.

~~The following table presents the composition of our fixed maturity portfolio by rating at September 30, 2020 (in thousands):~~year ended December 31, 2020.

Our equity investment portfolio at September 30, 2020 consists of $1.6 million of Federal Home Loan Bank membership stock. The investment is recorded at cost and adjusted, if and when subsequent price changes are provided by the institution. Such changes in the basis of the equity investment are recognized in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company recorded in aggregate $58,400 in dividends and reduced its membership stock holdings by $25,700.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a portion of our employees continue to work 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 September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

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 September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

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.

The Company documented its risk factors ~~disclosed~~in Item 1A of Part I of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 9, 2021. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the filing of that report.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, we purchased 148,109 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $1.0 million under our stock repurchase program. In addition, the Company acquired 6,473 shares of common stock for a total cost of $44,500 during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that were not part of the publicly announced stock repurchase program authorization. These shares were delivered to the Company by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations with the vesting of restricted stock awards.

A summary of our common stock repurchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, is set forth in the ~~section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K set forth information relating to various risks~~table below (in thousands, except shares and ~~uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition,~~price per share):

(1) Represents the balance before commission and ~~operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding~~fees at the end of ~~our business, financial condition, and operating results.~~each period.

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.

~~Beginning in March~~(2) On November 2, 2020, the ~~global pandemic related~~Board of Directors extended the Company’s prior share repurchase program from December 31, 2020 to ~~the novel coronavirus COVID-19 began to impact the global economy and our results of operations.~~ ~~The cumulative effects of COVID-19 on~~December 31, 2021, authorizing the Company ~~and the effect~~to repurchase up to $50.0 million of ~~any other epidemic, pandemic or public health outbreak, cannot~~its common stock through such date. Repurchases may be ~~predicted at this time, but could include, without limitation:~~

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid. The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, the persistence of the resulting pandemic and measures implemented to combat it may have an adverse effect on our business. Moreover, the longer the pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects are likely to be. It is likely that there will be future negative effects that we cannot presently predict, including near term effects. 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 onmade under the Company’s ~~results~~current Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows the Company to purchase shares below a predetermined price per share, or otherwise. At September 30, 2021, the Company has the capacity to repurchase $49.0 million 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.its common stock until December 31, 2021.

The information required by this Item 6 is set forth in the Index to Exhibits accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
