Operating Segment Data
Operating Segment Data

Tiptree is a holding company that combines specialty insurance operations with investment management capabilities. We allocate our capital across our insurance operations and other investments. We classify our business into one reportable segment – Specialty Insurance. We refer to our non-insurance operations, assets and other investments, which is comprised of our non-reportable operating segments and other business activities, as Tiptree Capital. Corporate activities include holding company interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses.

Our reportable segment’s income or loss is reported before income taxes, discontinued operations and non-controlling interests. Segment results incorporate the revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries since they commenced operations or were acquired. As of December 31, 2018, Mortgage and Asset Management, which previously were reportable segments, no longer met the quantitative threshold for disclosure. Those are now reported in Other, which we refer to as Tiptree Capital. Prior periods have been conformed to the current year presentation. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Descriptions of our reportable segment and of Tiptree Capital are as follows:

Specialty Insurance operations are conducted through Fortegra Financial Corporation (Fortegra), an insurance holding company. Fortegra underwrites and provides specialty insurance products, primarily in the United States, and is a leading provider of credit insurance and asset protection products. Fortegra’s range of products and services include credit protection insurance, warranty and service contract products, and other specialty insurance programs which underwrite niche personal and commercial lines of insurance. We also offer various other insurance related products and services throughout the U.S. through our non-regulated subsidiaries.

Tiptree Capital includes our asset management, mortgage and shipping operations, and other investments (including our Invesque shares).

The tables below present the components of revenue, expense, pre-tax income (loss), and assets for our reportable segment as well as Tiptree Capital for the following periods:
