Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

References to “the Company” refer to Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its subsidiaries.  If prior to August 28, 2020, references to the Company refer to Global Indemnity Limited and its subsidiaries.  

 

Global Indemnity Group, LLC, (“Global Indemnity” or “the Company”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 23, 2020, replaced Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies as a result of a redomestication transaction completed on August 28, 2020.  The Company’sGlobal Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol GBLI.  The Company’sGlobal Indemnity Group, LLC’s predecessors have been publicly traded since 2003. See Note 2 belowof the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the redomestication.

 

Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company that is classified as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and meets the qualifying income exception to maintain partnership status.

Global Indemnity Group, LLC owns all shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company.        

The Company manages its businessinsurance companies’ primary activity is providing insurance products across a distribution network that includes binding authority, program, brokerage and reinsurance.  The insurance companies are managed through4 business segments:  Commercial Specialty, Specialty Property, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Reinsurance Operations.  The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment offers specialty property and casualty insurance products in the excess and surplus lines marketplace.  The Company manages Commercial Specialty by differentiating them into 4 product classifications: 1) Penn-America, which markets property and general liability products to small commercial businesses through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which markets insurance products for targeted insured segments, including specialty products, such as property, general liability, and professional lines through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which markets property, casualty, and professional lines products, which are developed by the Company’s underwriting department by individuals with expertise in those lines of business, through wholesale brokers and also markets through program administrators having specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is marketed through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. These product classifications comprise the Company’s Commercial Specialty business segment and are not considered individual business segments because each product has similar economic characteristics, distribution, and coverage. The Company’s Specialty Property segment offers specialty personal lines property and casualty insurance products through general and specialty agents with specific binding authority.  The Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable segment provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry.  These insurance products are sold through wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority. Collectively, the Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiaries are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Commercial Specialty, Specialty Property, and Farm, Ranch, & Stable segments comprise the Company’s Insurance Operations (“Insurance Operations”). The Company’s Reinsurance Operations segment provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. Prior to the redomestication transactions, the Company’s Reinsurance Operations consisted solely of the operations of its Bermuda-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company, Ltd. (“Global Indemnity Reinsurance”).  As part of the redomestication transactions, Global Indemnity Reinsurance was merged with and into Penn-Patriot Insurance Company ("Penn-Patriot"), with Penn-Patriot surviving, resulting in the assumption of Global Indemnity Reinsurance's business by the Company’sGlobal Indemnity group of companies’ existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries.  The Commercial Specialty, Specialty Property, Farm, Ranch & Stable, and Reinsurance Operations segments comprise the Company’s insurance operations.     

 

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.  Results of operations for the quarters and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year.  The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.RedomesticationCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 to present the lease right of use assets and lease liabilities separately from other assets and other liabilities, respectively. This change in classification does not affect previously reported Assets or Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

At 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on August 28, 2020 (the "Effective Time"), Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company's accounting policies during the current year except for the following:

The receipt of results for investments in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company withlimited partnerships and limited liability completedcompanies may vary. If results are received on a timely basis, they are included in current results. If they are not received on a timely basis, they are recorded on a one quarter lag. The recording of such results are applied consistently for each investment once the previously disclosed schemetiming of arrangement and amalgamation under Sections 86 and 87receiving the results has been established.

Please see Note 3 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the "Scheme of Arrangement") that effected certain transactions (the "Redomestication") that resultednotes to the consolidated financial statements in the shareholders of Global Indemnity Limited becoming the holders of allItem 8 Part II of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, the following steps occurred effectively simultaneously at the Effective Time:

1.

Global Indemnity Limited merged with and into New CayCo, a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, following which, New CayCo survived the merger (the "Amalgamation");

2.

in consideration of the Amalgamation, the Company issued an equal number of its common shares to Global Indemnity Limited shareholders at the record time of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 27, 2020 (the "Scheme Record Time"), on the following basis: for each Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary share cancelled, 1 class A common share of the Company was issued; and for each Global Indemnity Limited B ordinary share cancelled, 1 class B common share of the Company was issued; and

3.

pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement and as part of the Amalgamation, Global Indemnity Limited was dissolved without being wound up and ceases to exist as a separate legal entity.

As a result, any references to class A common shares after the Effective Time refer to Global Indemnity Group, LLC class A common shares and any references to class A common shares prior to the Effective Time refers to Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares.

As previously disclosed, the Redomestication was approved by Global Indemnity Limited’s shareholders at a special meeting and an extraordinary general meeting heldCompany's 2020 Annual Report on August 25, 2020, convened by Order of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands dated July 22, 2020. The terms and conditions of the issuance of the securities in connection with the Redomestication were sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands pursuant to an Order granted on August 26, 2020 after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all holders of Global Indemnity Limited ordinary shares had a right to appear and of which adequate notice had been given.

Following completion of the Scheme of Arrangement, New CayCo merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the ultimate parent company. Additionally, as part of the Redomestication transactions, Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company was merged with and into Penn-Patriot, with Penn-Patriot surviving, resulting in the assumption of Global Indemnity Reinsurance’s business by the Company’s existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries (the "GI Bermuda Transaction" and, together with the Redomestication and the other transactions described in Global Indemnity Limited's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2020 (the "Redomestication Proxy Statement"), the "Transactions").

Prior to the Redomestication, the Global Indemnity Limited A ordinary shares were listedForm 10-K for more information on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "GBLI" and registered under Section 12(b)Company's summary of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). At the Effective Time, the Company’s class A common shares are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act. The issuance of the class A common shares by the Company in the Redomestication was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by virtue of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. The Company’s class A common shares began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "GBLI," the same symbol under which the Global Indemnity Limited ordinary shares previously traded, at the commencement of trading on Nasdaq on August 28, 2020.significant accounting policies.

 

On August 27, 2020, the Company issued 4,000 series A cumulative fixed rate preferred shares.  Following the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding series A fixed rate preferred shares were unaffected by the Scheme of Arrangement.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding the issuance of these preferred shares.

Investments

The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.  For financial assets held at amortized cost basis, the new guidance requires a forward-looking methodology for in-scope financial assets that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information for credit loss estimates, including historical experience, current economic conditions and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are still measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired security and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income.  Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses continue to be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables.  Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment.  The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.  Accrued interest receivable was $6.1 million and $7.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.    

  

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed maturities securities were as follows as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019:2020:

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors.  In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security.  If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded.  Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense.  Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.  

11


GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

 

For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:

 

 

(1)

the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;

 

(2)

the issuer is in financial distress;

 

(3)

the investment is secured;

 

(4)

a significant credit rating action occurred;

 

(5)

scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed;

 

(6)

changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry;

 

(7)

the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity;

 

(8)

the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and

 

(9)

changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement.

 

According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery.  If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings.  That new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

 

12


GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLCThe Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables.  Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment.  The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.  Accrued interest receivable was $5.6 million and $5.7 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any:

 

U.S. treasury and agency obligationstreasuries – As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasury and agency obligationstreasuries were $0.215$2.840 million.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities.  Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on U.S. treasurytreasuries during the period.

Agency obligations – As of June 30, 2021, gross unrealized losses related to agency obligations were $0.056 million.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities.  Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on agency obligations during the period.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions – As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were $0.188$0.009 million.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, elements that may influence the performance of the municipal bond market are considered in evaluating these securities such as investor expectations, supply and demand patterns, and current versus historical yield and spread relationships. The analysis relies on the output of fixed income credit analysts, as well as dedicated municipal bond analysts who perform extensive in-house fundamental analysis on each issuer, regardless of their rating by the major agencies.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions during the period.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) – As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were $1.120$2.151 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, mortgage-backed securities are modeled to project principal losses under downside, base, and upside scenarios for the economy and home prices.  The primary assumption that drives the security and loan level modeling is the Home Price Index (“HPI”) projection.  These forecasts incorporate not just national macro-economic trends, but also regional impacts to arrive at the most granular and accurate projections.  These assumptions are incorporated into the model as a basis to generate delinquency probabilities, default curves, loss severity curves, and voluntary prepayment curves at the loan level within each deal. The model utilizes HPI-adjusted current LTV,loan to value, payment history, loan terms, loan modification history, and borrower characteristics as inputs to generate expected cash flows and principal loss for each bond under various scenarios.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on mortgage-backed securities during the period.

 

Asset backed securities (“ABS”) - As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were $1.001$0.229 million.  The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset backed portfolio is 33.3.32.1.  This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before an asset backed security will incur its first dollar of principal losses.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, every ABS transaction is analyzed on a stand-alone basis.  This analysis involves a thorough review of the collateral, prepayment, and structural risk in each transaction.  Additionally, the analysis includes an in-depth credit analysis of the originator and servicer of the collateral.  The analysis projects an expected loss for a deal given a set of assumptions specific to the asset type.  These assumptions are used to calculate at what level of losses the deal will incur its first dollar of principal loss.  The major assumptions used to calculate this ratio are loss severities, recovery lags, and no advances on principal and interest.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on asset backed securities during the period.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) - As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were $0.804$0.247 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s CMBS portfolio is 32.4.34.5.  This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before a commercial mortgage-backed security will incur its first dollar of principal loss.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, a loan level analysis is utilized where every underlying CMBS loan is re-underwritten based on a set of assumptions reflecting expectations for the future path of the economy.  Each loan is analyzed over time using a series of tests to determine if a credit event will occur during the life of the loan. Inherent in this process are several economic scenarios and their corresponding rent/vacancy and capital market states. The five primary credit events that frame the analysis include loan modifications, term default, balloon default, extension, and ability to pay off at balloon. The resulting output is the expected loss adjusted cash flows for each bond under the base case and distressed scenarios.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on commercial mortgage-backed securities during the period.

 

Corporate bonds - As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were $1.135$0.973 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, analysis for this

asset class includes maintaining detailed financial models that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral.  The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection.  Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on corporate bonds during the period.

 

Foreign bonds – As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were $0.204$0.235 million.  To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, detailed financial models are maintained that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral.  The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection.  Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default.  Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on foreign bonds during the period.

Variable Interest Entities

 

A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights.  Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results.

 

The Company has variable interests in 34 VIE’s for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as their ownership interest exceeds 3% of their respective investments.   

 

The carrying value of one of the Company’s VIE’s, which invests in distressed securities and assets, was $11.3$9.9 million and $13.5$10.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $25.5$24.1 million and $27.7$25.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.  The carrying value of a second VIE that also invests in distressed securities and assets was $17.0$13.7 million and $24.0$15.7 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $34.0$30.7 million and $41.0$32.7 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.  The carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of a third VIE that invests in REITReal Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) qualifying assets was $9.5$11.6 million and $9.8$10.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company’scarrying value and maximum exposure to loss from thisof a fourth VIE, which factorsinvests in future funding commitments,a broad portfolio of non-investment grade loans, was $9.5$105.7 million and $10.3$60.0 million at Septemberas of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.  The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.

 

19


GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

The Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:

 

 

Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  

 

 

Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly.  

20


GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

 

 

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The securities classified as Level 1 in the above table consist of U.S. Treasuriestreasuries and equity securities actively traded on an exchange.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

The securities classified as Level 2 in the above table consist primarily of fixed maturity securities and derivative instruments.  Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, security prices are derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information.  If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate.  Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities.  Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments, consisting of interest rate swaps, is obtained from a third party financial institution that utilizes observable inputs such as the forward interest rate curve.

The investments classified as Level 3 in the above table consist of fixed maturities with unobservable inputs.  The Company does not have access to daily valuations; therefore, market trades, performance of the underlying assets, and key risks are considered in order to estimate fair values of these debt instruments.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Pricing

 

The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships.  Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:

 

 

Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges.

 

 

Corporate and agency bonds are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve.  Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors.  Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities.

 

 

Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for commercialcollateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above.  For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports.  For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance.  The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds.

 

For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used.  The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research.

23


GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

 

U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers.

 

For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors.

 

The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy.  The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to:

 

Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch.  This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change.

 

Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy.

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities.

 

During the quarters and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Company has not adjusted quotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 20202021

 

In March, 2020,December, 2019, the FASB issued newupdated guidance related to the accounting for income taxes.  The updated guidance that affected a variety of topicsis intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions contained in the Codification.existing guidance and amending other existing guidance to simplify several other income tax accounting matters.  The amendments in this update are meant to make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarification.  Thisupdated guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020.2021. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August, 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which removed, modified, and added certain disclosures related to Topic 820, Fair Value.  The affected disclosures are related to transfers between fair value levels, level 3 assets, and investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value.  This guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC

In January, 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance that simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e. Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test).  Under the new amendments, an entity may still first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test.  If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of a goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any.  A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  This guidance is effective for public business entities’ annual or interim goodwill impairment testing in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June, 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance addressing the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.  The new guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes but are not limited to premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the asset using an allowance for credit losses.  Changes in the allowance are charged to earnings.  The measurement of expected credit losses should consider relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired securities and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income.  In addition, the Company made certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivables which are described in Note 3.  The Company adopted this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 using a modified-retrospective approach.  The adoption of this new accounting guidance and the impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is described primarily within Note 3 and Note 6.

Please see Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted.

(1)

Losses incurred but not reported, including the expected future emergence of case reserves.

(2)

Does not include reinsurance receivable on paid losses.

 

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made.  If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate.  For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity.  Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency.  The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $273.7$179.6 million for claims occurring during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020:2021:

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

 

The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends within Commercial Specialty may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Expense Ratios

The expense ratio for the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment improved by 4.31.0 points from 40.8%38.0% for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 to 36.5%37.0% for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and improved by 3.11.2 points from 40.7%38.2% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 to 37.6%37.0% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to higher earned premiums.

COVID-19

 

COVID-19COVID-19’s lasting impacts could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Commercial Specialty’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.  

 

There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends within Specialty Property may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends within Farm, Ranch & Stable may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Expense Ratios

The expense ratio for the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable Segment improved 5.0 points from 42.3%was 40.0% for both the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 to 37.3%2021 and June 30, 2020. The expense ratio improved 1.1 points from 40.4% for the quartersix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 to 39.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to a reduction of commission rate partially driven by a change in compensation and travel costagent distribution as well as higher earned premiums.  The expense ratio improved 3.1 points from 42.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 39.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to higher earned premiums.a reduction in compensation, travel, and advertising expenses.

COVID-19

 

There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

 

COVID-19COVID-19’s lasting impacts could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Farm, Ranch & Stable’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

The table above includes a reconciliation of the current accident year loss ratio, which is a non-GAAP ratio, to its calendar year loss ratio, which is its most directly comparable GAAP ratio.  The Company believes the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends in the Company's Reinsurance Operations may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. This non-GAAP ratio should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

The future liquidity of both Global Indemnity’sIndemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC’s insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company within the Insurance Operations that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.  See “Regulation - Statutory Accounting Principles” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes.  See Note 1820 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on dividend limitations related to the Insurance Companies.  The Insurance Companies did not declare or pay any dividends during the quarter and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

Cash Flows

 

Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income.  Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments.  As a result of the dividenddistribution policy, established in 2017, funds may also be used in the future to pay dividendsdistributions to shareholders of the Company.

 

The Company’s reconciliation of net income (loss) to net cash provided by operations is generally influenced by the following:

 

the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commissions, in advance of losses paid;

 

the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and

 

the timing of the Company’s loss payments.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $33.9$47.5 million and $45.9$52.4 million for the ninequarters and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.  The decrease in operating cash flows of approximately $12.0$4.9 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.  Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate.  However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost.  The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.  

There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff.  Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships.  The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of Part I in the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020, as supplemented by the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2020 filed on May 8, 2020, and the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed July 23, 2020.12, 2021. The risk factors identified therein have not materially changed except as follows:

Holders of the Company’s common shares will

The Company may be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local incomeadverse foreign taxes on their share of the Company’s taxable income, regardless of whether they receive any cash dividends.related to its historic non-US subsidiaries.

Under current law, so long as

Although the Company and its subsidiaries have eliminated most of their historic foreign subsidiaries, the statute of limitations remains open in certain foreign jurisdictions, and it is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and 90% of the Company’s gross income for each taxable year constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code on a continuing basis,possible that the Company currently expects that it will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Holders of the Company’s common shares willcould be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local taxation on their allocable sharematerially adverse foreign taxes with respect to its historic operations.  Such adverse foreign taxes could also potentially arise as a result of the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, for each of the Company’s taxable years ending with or within their taxable year, regardless of whether they receive cash dividends. Such holders may not receive cash dividends equal to their allocable share of the Company’s net taxable income or even the tax liability that results from that income. The characterization of an item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit generally will be determined at the Company’s (rather than at the holder’s) level.

The IRS Schedules K-1 the Company will provide holders of the Company’s common shares will be more complicated than the IRS Forms 1099 provided by corporations to their stockholders, and holders of the Company’s common shares may be required to request an extension of time to file their tax returns.

Holders of the Company’s common shares will be required to take into account their allocable share of the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and other items of the partnership for the Company’s taxable year ending within or with their taxable year, regardless of whether they received cash dividends. The Company has agreed to furnish holders of the common shares, as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each calendar year, with tax information (including IRS Schedules K-1), which describes their allocable share of gross ordinary income for the Company’s preceding taxable year. However, it may require longer than 90 days after the end of the Company’s calendar year to obtain the requisite information so that IRS Schedules K-1 may be prepared by the Company. Consequently, holders of the Company’s common shares who are U.S. taxpayers should anticipate the need to file annually with the IRS (and certain states) a request for an extension past April 15 or the otherwise applicable due date of their income tax return for the taxable year.

In addition, each holder of the Company’s common shares will be required to report for all tax purposes consistently with the information provided by the Company for the taxable year. Because holders will be required to report their allocable share of gross ordinary income, tax reporting for holders of the Company’s common shares will be more complicated than for shareholders of a regular corporation.
