Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements for HCI Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies for reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairment involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Acquisitions. The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method, which requires it to measure and recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. In the event that the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.

Acquisitions of income-producing properties are typically considered business acquisitions. As such, the Company allocates the purchase price to land, land improvements, buildings, tenant improvements, intangibles such as the value of significant tenant (i.e. anchor tenant) relationships, in-place leases, and assumed liabilities, if any. Tangible assets are presented as real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Buildings subject to leases are valued as if vacant.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

The value attributable to in-place leases reflects the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level that existed at the acquisition date. These costs include leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and other direct costs required to lease the property. In addition, the estimated fair value of in-place leases reflects the value of base rental revenues that would have been earned during the assumed periods of vacancy and the related carrying costs that would have been incurred to lease the vacant property to its existing occupancy. The Company also reviews terms of the assumed leases to evaluate whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable relative to the market at the acquisition date. In the event the assumed leases are not at market terms, the Company recognizes an intangible asset for a lease with favorable terms and a liability if the terms of the lease are unfavorable.

Transaction costs related to a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The Company includes acquisition-related costs associated with real estate investments in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Intangible Assets. Intangibles consist of the value attributable to the acquired in-place leases and the primary, or anchor, tenant relationships. The value attributable to the anchor tenant relationship represents the economic benefits of having a nationally recognized retailer as the lead tenant, which draws traffic and other tenants to the retail center. These intangibles are amortized to expense over the related lease term. Amortization of the intangibles related to real estate investments is reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statement of income. The Company reviews these intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15. In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230), which clarifies or provides specific guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. Some of the guidelines that may have potential impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows are cash payments for debt prepayment, distributions received from equity method investments, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement of credit losses for financial assets at each reporting date based on reasonable and supportable information. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures on significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

Other-than-temporary Impairment

The Company regularly reviews its individual investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including-

• the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;

12

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

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

• general market conditions, industry or sector specific factors and other qualitative factors;

• nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and

• the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

At September 30, 2016, one fixed-maturity security the Company intends to hold to maturity had a credit related loss. This compares with two fixed-maturity securities at December 31, 2015 that were other-than-temporarily impaired. In June 2016, the Company sold one other-than-temporarily impaired fixed-maturity security due to uncertainties surrounding the issuer’s restructuring plan. Prior to the sale, this security’s remaining $202 of impairment loss was reclassified from comprehensive income and recognized in total other-than-temporary impairment losses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $531 of impairment loss on one fixed-maturity security, of which $180 was considered other-than-temporarily impaired due to a credit related loss and recorded in the consolidated statement of income, with the remaining amount of $351 related to non-credit factors and recorded in other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $675 of impairment losses in the consolidated statement of income, representing $206 of additional losses recorded during the period and the reclassification of $469 previously recorded in other comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $705 of impairment losses on two fixed-maturity securities, of which $109 was related to credit losses, with the remaining amount of $596 related to non-credit factors.

The following table presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in income from available for sale fixed-maturity securities:

	2016			2015
Balance at January 1	$	111		$	—
Additional credit impairments on previously impaired securities		293			—
Balance at March 31		404			—
Credit impaired security fully disposed of for which there was no prior intent or requirement to sell		(385	)		—
Reduction due to increase in expected cash flows recognized over the remaining life of the previously impaired security		(19	)		—
Balance at June 30		—			—
Credit impairments on impaired securities		180			109
Balance at September 30	$	180		$	109

In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost, the length of time each security has been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near term prospect for recovery. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had 16 and 17 equity securities, respectively, that were other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company recognized impairment losses of $44 and $1,777, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized impairment losses of $766 and $3,760, respectively.

ADC Arrangement

On August 16, 2016, the Company exercised the purchase option in its ADC Arrangement and acquired the retail shopping center and its appurtenant facilities. The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition. See Note 5 — “Business Acquisition” for additional information. In addition, the Company received $10,200 plus accrued investment income of $74 in full settlement of the note receivable associated with the ADC Arrangement. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to this variable interest was $10,200, representing the carrying value of the ADC Arrangement. There was no credit loss allowance established as of December 31, 2015 as management believed the credit risk associated with the ADC Arrangement was mitigated by the collateral used to secure the loan.

Note 5 — Business Acquisition

On August 16, 2016, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Greenleaf Capital, LLC, assigned the right to purchase the developed property in the ADC Arrangement to its subsidiary, Sorrento PBX, LLC. Sorrento PBX simultaneously exercised the purchase option and acquired the property from Sorrento Retail Investments, LLC. The acquired assets included a retail shopping center and appurtenant facilities in Sorrento, Florida as well as existing tenant lease agreements to use the property. The acquisition is part of the Company’s strategic plan to expand its real estate operations. The purchase price was $12,250, which was determined using a predetermined capitalization rate and the projected net operating income of the property. The Company recognized

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

a $2,071 gain on bargain purchase, resulting primarily from a favorable fair value at the date of acquisition as compared with the Company’s purchase price. The Company relied on an independent appraisal report, which is based on the weighted results of two valuation approaches, in determining the estimated fair values of the significant assets acquired. This acquisition was financed in part by the proceeds from the issuance of a 3.75% promissory note. See Note 9 — “Long-Term Debt” for additional information.

Purchase price	$	12,250

The acquired business contributed $99 of rental income and $112 of net loss to the Company for the period from August 16, 2016 to September 30, 2016. Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the effects of the acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company records and discloses certain financial assets at their estimated fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1	—	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets;
Level 2	—	Other inputs that are observable for the asset and the liability, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities that are not observable throughout the full term; and
Level 3	—	Inputs that are unobservable.

Valuation Methodology

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money-market funds. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity and high liquidity of these funds.

Available-for-sale securities

Estimated fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are generally measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar securities. In those instances where observable inputs are

21

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

not available, fair values are measured using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value estimates derived from unobservable inputs are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

The estimated fair values for securities that do not trade on a daily basis are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from an independent pricing service and information provided by brokers. Management reviews the assumptions and methods utilized by the pricing service and then compares the relevant data and pricing to broker-provided data. The Company gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through ongoing monitoring of the reported fair values.

ADC Arrangement Classified as Real Estate Investment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under ADC Arrangement, the ADC Arrangement represented a financing agreement with a purchase option between Greenleaf Capital and a property developer. Based on the characteristics of this ADC Arrangement which were similar to those of an investment, combined with the expected residual profit being greater than 50%, the arrangement was included in real estate investments at its carrying value in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Projected future cash inflows at maturity were discounted using a prevailing borrowing rate to estimate its fair value that relies on Level 3 inputs. This ADC Arrangement was terminated at the time the Company exercised the purchase option to acquire the related property in August 2016.

Limited Partnership Investments

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under Limited Partnership Investments, the Company has interests in limited partnerships which are private equity funds. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, these funds are required to use fair value accounting; therefore, the estimated fair value approximates the carrying value of these funds.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt includes the Company’s 8% senior notes due 2020, 3.875% convertible senior notes due 2019 and two promissory notes due through 2036. The 8% senior notes trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The estimated fair value of the 8% senior notes is based on the closing market price at each balance sheet date. The 3.875% convertible senior notes were sold in a private offering. The fair values of the 3.875% convertible senior notes and the promissory notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow method that relies on Level 3 inputs.

3.75% Promissory Note

In connection with the business acquisition described in Note 5 — Business Acquisition, Sorrento PBX, LLC entered into a 20-year secured loan agreement for gross proceeds of $9,000. The loan proceeds were used to finance the acquisition. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 3.75% and is collateralized by the acquired property and the assignment of associated lease agreements. Approximately $53 of principal and interest is payable in 240 monthly installments beginning October 1, 2016. The promissory note may be repaid in full after September 1, 2017 as long as the Company provides at least 60 days’ written notice and pays a prepayment premium as specified in the loan agreement. In addition, the lender may require full payment of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest on September 1, 2031 provided a written notice of its intention to call the note is given at least six months in advance.

4% Promissory Note

On January 14, 2016, HCPCI Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a 15-year secured loan agreement for proceeds of $9,200. The loan is collateralized by the Company’s Tampa, Florida real estate, which is owned by HCPCI Holdings, and the lease agreements associated with this property. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 4%. Approximately $68 of principal and interest is payable in 180 monthly installments beginning March 1, 2016. The promissory note may be repaid in full after February 1, 2017 as long as the Company provides at least 60 days’ written notice and pays a prepayment premium as specified in the loan agreement. The proceeds were used for real estate development projects or other general business purposes.

3.875% Convertible Senior Notes

Repurchases of Convertible Senior Notes

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $13,010 in principal of its 3.875% convertible senior notes in privately negotiated transactions for cash in the amount of $11,347, inclusive of $81 in commissions. As a result, the Company recognized a $153 gain on extinguishment net of $1,591 in unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and commissions associated with the notes that were repurchased during the first quarter of 2016.

Note 10 — Reinsurance

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and one quota share agreement. The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company enters into reinsurance treaties with highly rated and reputable reinsurers and it evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.

The impact of the reinsurance treaties on premiums written and earned is as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Premiums Written:

Net premiums earned	$	63,300		$	62,765		$	180,275		$	220,880

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no recoveries pertaining to reinsurance contracts that were deducted from losses incurred. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 35 and 21 reinsurers, respectively, participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. There were no amounts receivable with respect to reinsurers at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Thus, there were no concentrations of credit risk associated with reinsurance receivables as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In addition, based on the insurance ratings and the financial strength of the reinsurers, management believes there was no credit risk associated with its reinsurers’ obligations to perform on any prepaid reinsurance contract as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

Certain of the reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums or increase the amount of future coverage in the event losses are minimal or zero. Effective June 1, 2016, retrospective provisions include premium adjustments only. These adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as net reductions in ceded premiums of $3,428 and $2,901 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $594 and $336 relates to the Company’s contract with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited (see Note 17 — Related Party Transactions). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, these adjustments were $9,250 and $15,515, respectively, of which $1,334 and $2,461 relates to the Company’s contract with Oxbridge. In June 2016, the Company received a total of $37,800 in cash benefits related to two retrospective reinsurance contracts that terminated May 31, 2016 of which $7,560 was received from Oxbridge. In September 2016, the Company received the final cash payment of $5,716 under the terms of the remaining retrospective reinsurance contract which terminated May 31, 2016.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, other assets included $3,320 and $36,176, respectively, and prepaid reinsurance premiums included $1,214 and $2,625, respectively, which are related to these adjustments. Management believes the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal as the amount receivable is concentrated with one reinsurer and the Company monitors the creditworthiness of this reinsurer based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial position.

Note 11 — Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claim development and losses incurred, but not reported.

Activity in the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:

The establishment of loss reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such estimates are adjusted. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company experienced unfavorable development of $4,626 and $10,558, respectively, attributable to the settlement and further development of older claims and an increase in late reported claims, primarily claims related to the 2015 loss year.

The Company writes insurance in the state of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded approximately $8,696 and $4,567, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in effective tax rates of 43.4% and 38.3%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $16,542 and $33,796, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rates of 40.4% and 38.2%, respectively. The increase in the 2016 effective tax rate was primarily attributable to permanent differences between financial and tax income. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain nondeductible and tax-exempt items.

Note 13 — Earnings Per Share

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic earnings per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities affect the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of net income.

Restricted Stock Awards

From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to its executive officers, other employees and nonemployee directors in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance and market-based conditions. The fair value of the awards with market-based conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards concerning only performance or service-based conditions is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies

Obligations under Multi-Year Reinsurance Contracts

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has contractual obligations related to multi-year reinsurance contracts. These contracts were effective June 1, 2016 and may be cancelled only with the other party’s consent. The future minimum aggregate premiums payable to these reinsurers is $19,400 due in each of the twelve-month periods following September 30, 2016 and 2017.

Capital Commitment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under Limited Partnership Investments, the Company is contractually committed to capital contributions under three limited partnership agreements. At September 30, 2016, there was an aggregate unfunded balance of $13,554.

Premium Tax

In September 2013, the Company received a notice of intent to make audit adjustments from the Florida Department of Revenue (“the Department”) in connection with the Department’s audit of the Company’s premium tax returns for the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. The auditor’s proposed adjustments primarily related to the Department’s proposed disallowance of the entire amount of $1,754 in Florida salary credits applicable to that period. The proposed adjustment, which included interest through September 10, 2013, approximated $1,913. To resolve the matter, the Company entered into negotiations with the Department and reached an agreement in principle whereby certain of the Company’s subsidiaries would individually file and pay state reemployment taxes plus interest covering the periods under audit through the second quarter of 2014. Such filings were expected to yield a refund of reemployment taxes paid by the Company. In December 2015, the Department issued its Notice of Decision indicating the Company owed approximately $38 in full settlement of the premium tax and related interest, which the Company paid in February 2016. The Company received refunds totaling $57 related to its reemployment tax filings specific to the period for which the Company was required to file and pay the subsidiary reemployment tax returns as part of the negotiated settlement. As a result, the Company realized a net benefit of $19. Management believes this matter is fully resolved.

Note 17 — Related Party Transactions

Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd., the Company’s Bermuda domiciled reinsurance subsidiary has a reinsurance agreement with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited whereby a portion of the business assumed from the Company’s insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc., is ceded by Claddaugh to Oxbridge. With respect to the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, Oxbridge assumed $11,600 of the total covered exposure for $3,340 in premiums. With respect to the period from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017, Oxbridge assumed $6,000 of the total covered exposure for approximately $3,400 in premiums. See Note 10 — Reinsurance – which includes the amounts due from and paid by Oxbridge during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 with respect to benefits accrued in connection with the Oxbridge agreements. The premiums charged by Oxbridge are at rates which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. Oxbridge has deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. Trust assets may be withdrawn by Claddaugh, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the Oxbridge reinsurance agreements. Among the Oxbridge shareholders are Paresh Patel, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also chairman of the board of directors for Oxbridge, and members of his immediate family and three of the Company’s non-employee directors including Sanjay Madhu who serves as Oxbridge’s president and chief executive officer.

Note 18 — Subsequent Event

During October 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused significant property damage along an extensive area of Florida’s east coast. As of October 27, 2016, the Company had received approximately 2,000 claims and incurred initial losses totaling approximately $13,000, pre-tax, related to Hurricane Matthew. While it is too early to determine the ultimate net loss from this event, the Company expects gross losses to be between $20,000 and $25,000, which falls below the Company’s reinsurance retention level. As such, the Company does not anticipate reinsurance recoveries from its third-party reinsurers.

You should read the following discussion under this Item 2 in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and information included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2016. Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “HCI,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “our company,” and similar references refer to HCI Group, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in 2006, and its subsidiaries. All dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in whole dollars unless specified otherwise.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Typically, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions. The important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the effects of governmental regulation; changes in insurance regulations; the frequency and extent of claims; uncertainties inherent in reserve estimates; catastrophic events; changes in the demand for, pricing of, availability of or collectability of reinsurance; restrictions on our ability to change premium rates; increased rate pressure on premiums; and other risks and uncertainties detailed herein and from time to time in our SEC reports.

OVERVIEW – General

HCI Group, Inc. is a Florida-based company owning subsidiaries engaged in property and casualty insurance, information technology, real estate and reinsurance. Based on our organizational structure, revenue sources, and evaluation of financial and operating performances by management, we manage four operating segments under one reporting segment, which includes the following operations:

a) Insurance Operations

• Property and casualty insurance

• Reinsurance

b) Other Operations

• Real estate

• Information technology

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, revenues from property and casualty insurance operations represented 88.0% and 90.0%, respectively, of total revenues of all operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, revenues from property and casualty insurance operations represented 89.2% and 94.4%, respectively, of total revenues of all operations. There was no other operating segment representing ten percent or more of total operating revenues. As a result, our four operating segments have been aggregated under one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes.

36

Insurance Operations

Property and Casualty Insurance

Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc.

Our principal operating subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”), is a leading provider of property and casualty insurance in the state of Florida. HCPCI along with certain of our other subsidiaries currently provides property and casualty insurance to homeowners, condominium owners, and tenants in the state of Florida. Since 2014, HCPCI has offered flood-endorsed and wind-only policies to eligible new and pre-existing Florida customers. HCPCI strives to offer insurance products at competitive rates, while pursuing profitability using selective underwriting criteria.

HCPCI began operations in 2007 by participating in a “take-out program,” which is a legislatively mandated program designed to encourage private insurance companies to assume policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, a Florida state-supported insurer. Our growth since inception has resulted primarily from a series of policy assumptions. This growth track has been beneficial to us although there are fewer policies available for assumption today as a result of increased competition in the Florida market. Thus, we plan to seek other opportunities to expand by providing new or additional product offerings in and outside the state of Florida.

TypTap Insurance Company

TypTap Insurance Company was organized by HCI Group, Inc. and approved by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation in January 2016 to transact insurance business in the state of Florida. TypTap began writing standalone flood coverage to Florida homeowners in March 2016.

We expect the flood insurance product offered both by TypTap and HCPCI to become a significant contributor to future financial results.

Homeowners Choice Assurance Company, Inc.

In June 2016, our Alabama subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Assurance voluntarily surrendered its certificate of authority to the Alabama Department of Insurance and, as a result, formally terminated its plan to conduct business in the state of Alabama. The withdrawal was effective on June 30, 2016.

37

Reinsurance

We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd. We selectively retain risk in Claddaugh, displacing the need for HCPCI to pay premiums to third party reinsurers. Claddaugh fully collateralizes its exposure to HCPCI by depositing funds into a trust account. Claddaugh also mitigates a portion of its risk through retrocession contracts.

Other Operations

Real Estate

Our real estate operations consist of multiple properties we own and operate. One of these properties was acquired by us during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, we own and manage two commercial development projects through joint ventures.

Investment Projects

We had one real estate development and construction project in which our involvement was through an acquisition, development and construction loan arrangement (“ADC Arrangement”). Under the ADC Arrangement, Greenleaf Capital, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, had an option to purchase the property when the construction project was completed contingent upon tenant rental commitments for at least 90% of rentable space being secured by the developer. On August 16, 2016, we exercised the purchase option and acquired the property for a purchase price of $12,250,000, which resulted in a bargain purchase gain as of the acquisition date of approximately $2,071,000. See Note 5 — “Business Acquisition” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

We also have two real estate development projects through joint venture arrangements, one in which we have a 90% non-controlling equity interest and another which we consolidate with our operations. We believe these opportunities will enable us to grow our real estate portfolio and diversify our future sources of income. See Note 3 — “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Information Technology

Our information technology operations include a team of experienced software developers with extensive knowledge in developing web-based products and applications for mobile devices. The operations, which are in Noida, India and in Tampa, Florida, are focused on developing cloud-based, innovative products or services that can be marketed to the public in addition to providing affiliates with back-office technology support services designed to facilitate and improve our ongoing operations. Some of the technologies originally developed in-house for our own insurance operations have been launched for use by third parties. These products include the following:

38

• Exzeo^TM - a cloud application that provides automation and intelligence across multiple business processes.

• Proplet^TM - an insurance agency online platform for quoting homeowners policies for our subsidiary, HCPCI.

• Atlas Viewer^TM - an interactive cloud-based data mapping and visualization application.

• TypTap^TM - an online platform for quoting and binding flood policies for our subsidiary, TypTap Insurance Company.

Recent Events

On August 31, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc, was approved by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation to assume approximately 27,000 policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, Florida’s state-operated insurance company. The Company expects to send out approximately 17,000 assumption letters on selected policies.

During October 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused significant property damage along an extensive area of Florida’s east coast. As of October 27, 2016, we had received approximately 2,000 claims and incurred initial losses totaling approximately $13,000,000, pre-tax, related to Hurricane Matthew. While it is too early to determine the ultimate net loss from this event, we expect gross losses to be between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000, which falls below our reinsurance retention level. As such, we do not anticipate reinsurance recoveries from our third-party reinsurers.

On October 13, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share. The dividends are payable on December 16, 2016 to stockholders of record on November 18, 2016.

Comparison of the Three Months ended September 30, 2016 with the Three Months ended September 30, 2015

Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 reflect income available to common stockholders of approximately $11,333,000, or $1.10 earnings per diluted share, compared with approximately $7,371,000, or $0.71 earnings per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a reduction of $11,835,000 in premiums ceded, which offset an $11,300,000 decline in gross premiums earned. We also realized a $3,304,000 increase in net investment income and recognized a $2,071,000 gain on bargain purchase related to our August 2016 business acquisition. In addition, due primarily to the $8,091,000 increase in pre-tax income, our income tax expense increased $4,129,000 quarter over quarter.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $92,542,000 and $103,842,000, respectively. The decrease in 2016 was attributable to policy attrition as well as a rate decrease effective on new and renewal policies beginning in January 2016.

Premiums Ceded for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $29,242,000 and $41,077,000, respectively, representing 31.6% and 39.6%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $11,835,000 decrease was primarily attributable to the lower costs of our 2016/17 reinsurance program as compared with the costs of the 2015/16 program. In addition, the reduction to our ceded premiums attributable to retrospective provisions under certain reinsurance contracts was lower as compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

Our reinsurance program for 2016/17 provides coverage, which according to catastrophe models approved by the FLOIR, is sufficient to cover the probable maximum loss resulting from a 1 in 165 year event. Our reinsurance program for 2015/16 provided coverage for a probable maximum loss resulting from a 1 in 260 year event. As a result of our program and pricing changes, we expect to reduce our reinsurance costs by approximately $48,000,000 for the 2016/17 program year as compared with the 2015/16 program year.

Our premiums ceded represent amounts paid to reinsurers to cover losses from catastrophes that exceed the retention levels defined by our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and to assume a proportional share of losses defined in quota share arrangements, one of which was cancelled effective May 31, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, premiums ceded reflect net reductions of approximately $3,428,000 and $2,901,000, respectively, related to the provisions under certain reinsurance contracts. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned.

Net Premiums Written during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled approximately $64,022,000 and $64,294,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. We had approximately 145,000 policies in force at September 30, 2016 as compared with approximately 165,000 policies in force at September 30, 2015.

41

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $63,300,000 and $62,765,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016			2015
Net Premiums Written	$	64,022		$	64,294
Increase in Unearned Premiums		(722	)		(1,529	)
Net Premiums Earned	$	63,300		$	62,765

Net Investment Income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $2,785,000. This compared with a net investment loss of $519,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in 2016 was primarily due to $1,119,000 of income from limited partnership investments as compared with the $2,400,000 losses incurred during the corresponding period in 2015. See Note 3 — “Investments” under Net Investment Income to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $224,000 and $1,886,000, respectively. During the third quarter of 2016, we recognized impairment losses specific to one fixed-maturity security and four equity securities. One fixed-maturity security was subject to credit related loss impairment resulting from our analysis of the issuer’s expected cash flows. Four equity securities were deemed impaired due to the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position and giving consideration to the near term prospect of recovery. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we recognized impairment losses specific to two fixed-maturity securities and five equity securities.

Policy Fee Income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $972,000 and $994,000, respectively. The slight decrease from the corresponding period in 2015 was primarily attributable to fewer policies in force.

Gain on bargain purchase for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $2,071,000, resulting from the August 2016 acquisition of one real estate business. See Note 5 — “Business Acquisition” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Expenses

Our Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $25,909,000 and $26,200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included claims from Hurricane Hermine with incurred initial losses of approximately $2.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Our 2015 losses and loss adjustment expenses reflected a large volume of reported claims and losses from significant weather events that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

42

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of approximately $10,536,000 and $10,675,000, respectively, primarily reflect commissions and premium taxes related to the policies that have renewed.

Salaries and Wages for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $5,945,000 and $5,040,000, respectively. The $905,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2015 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee headcount as well as merit increases during 2016 and 2015. As of September 30, 2016, we had 243 employees located at our offices in Florida compared with 220 employees as of September 30, 2015. We also had 80 employees located in Noida, India at September 30, 2016 versus 85 at September 30, 2015.

Income Tax Expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $8,696,000 and $4,567,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 43.4% for 2016 and 38.3% for 2015. The increase in the 2016 effective tax rate was primarily attributable to permanent differences between financial and tax income.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2016 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 40.9% compared with 41.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses combined with a slight increase in net premiums earned.

The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2016 (defined as underwriting expenses, salaries and wages, interest and other operating expenses related to net premiums earned) was 37.7% compared with 36.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in personnel costs.

The combined ratio (total of all expenses in relation to net premiums earned) is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for each of the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 78.6%.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 53.8% compared with 47.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in 2016 is primarily due to the decrease in gross premiums earned.

Comparison of the Nine Months ended September 30, 2016 with the Nine Months ended September 30, 2015

Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect income available to common stockholders of approximately $24,413,000, or $2.41 earnings per diluted share, compared with approximately $54,771,000, or $4.84 earnings per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The period-over-period decline was primarily due to a $34,901,000 decrease in gross premiums earned as well as a $5,704,000 increase in premiums ceded, resulting in a decrease in net premiums earned of $40,605,000. In addition, our 2016 results were affected by a $13,457,000 increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses. These factors contributed to a $47,612,000 decrease in pre-tax income and, as a result, our income tax expense decreased $17,254,000 period over period.

43

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $286,273,000 and $321,174,000, respectively. The decrease in 2016 was attributable to policy attrition as well as a rate decrease effective on new and renewal policies beginning in January 2016.

Premiums Ceded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $105,998,000 and $100,294,000, respectively, representing 37.0% and 31.2%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. We did not purchase reinsurance coverage for policies assumed in December 2014 until June 1, 2015 as these policies were assumed outside of hurricane season. As a result, our reinsurance costs were lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared with the same period in 2016. In addition, the reduction to our ceded premiums attributable to retrospective provisions under certain reinsurance contracts was lower in 2016 as compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, premiums ceded reflected net reductions of approximately $9,250,000 and $15,515,000, respectively, related to the provisions under certain reinsurance contracts. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned.

Net Premiums Written for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled approximately $202,307,000 and $241,841,000, respectively. The decrease in 2016 resulted from a decrease of approximately $33,830,000 in gross premiums written combined with an increase of approximately $5,704,000 in premiums ceded during the year.

Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $180,275,000 and $220,880,000, respectively, and reflected the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016			2015
Net Premiums Written	$	202,307		$	241,841
Increase in Unearned Premiums		(22,032	)		(20,961	)
Net Premiums Earned	$	180,275		$	220,880

Net Investment Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $6,000,000 and $2,685,000. The increase in 2016 was primarily due to $54,000 of income from limited partnership investments as compared with the $2,862,000 losses incurred during the corresponding period in 2015.

Net Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $1,441,000 and $3,869,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized impairment losses specific to two fixed-maturity securities and 16 equity securities. The fixed-maturity securities were subject to credit related loss

44

impairment resulting from our analysis of their expected cash flows. Sixteen equity securities were impaired due to the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position and giving consideration to the near term prospect of recovery. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized impairment losses specific to two fixed-maturity securities and eight equity securities, one of which accounted for $1,598,000 of the total impairment losses.

Policy Fee Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $2,967,000 and $2,477,000, respectively. Beginning in March 2015, we have used actual policy cancellations in our calculation of policy fee income whereas estimated attrition rates were used in this calculation prior to March 2015. In addition, the unearned portion of nonrefundable policy fee income was fully recognized for policies that were cancelled during the 2016 period. As a result, our 2016 policy fee income was higher than in 2015 despite the decline in gross premiums earned.

Gain on Repurchases of Convertible Senior Notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $153,000. The gain was attributable to the repurchase of $13,010,000 in principal of our 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2016. We did not repurchase any of our 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes during 2015. See Note 9 — “Long-term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Gain on bargain purchase for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $2,071,000, resulting from the August 2016 acquisition of one real estate business. See Note 5 — “Business Acquisition” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Expenses

Our Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $79,261,000 and $65,804,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Our 2016 losses and loss adjustment expenses were impacted by weather-related events in both years and Hurricane Hermine in 2016 as well as continued reserve strengthening due to trends involving assignment of benefits and related litigation. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $32,525,000 and $30,917,000, respectively. The $1,608,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2015 was primarily attributable to commissions and premium taxes related to the policies assumed from Citizens that have renewed and are included in 2016 premiums.

Salaries and Wages for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $17,009,000 and $15,174,000, respectively. The $1,835,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2015 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee headcount as well as merit increases during the 2016 and 2015.

Other Operating Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $14,213,000 and $14,040,000, respectively. The $173,000 increase was primarily attributable to a $1,148,000 increase in general administrative expenses reduced by a $975,000 decrease in stock-based compensation.

45

Income Tax Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $16,542,000 and $33,796,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.4% for 2016 and 38.2% for 2015.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 44.0% compared with 29.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in net premiums earned and increased losses as described previously.

The expense ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 39.8% compared with 30.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in our expense ratio is primarily attributable to the decrease in 2016 net premiums earned.

The combined ratio is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 83.8% compared with 60.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 52.8% compared with 41.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Seasonality of Our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal as hurricanes and tropical storms typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 each year. Although not as typical, we may also experience significant winter storm activity as we did during the first quarter of 2016. With our reinsurance treaty year effective June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in 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 each year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Throughout our history, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuances of our common and preferred stock, debt offerings and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the cash received by insurance subsidiaries from premiums written and investment income. We may consider raising additional capital through debt and equity offerings to support our growth and future investment opportunities.

Our insurance subsidiary requires liquidity and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our liabilities and invested assets. In the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. Substantially all of our losses and loss adjustment expenses are fully settled and paid within 100 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.

46

We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.

In the future, we anticipate our primary use of funds will be to pay claims, reinsurance premiums, interest, and dividends and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we intend to continue investing in real estate to maximize returns and diversify our sources of income, pursue acquisition opportunities, or consider other strategic opportunities.

Senior Notes and Promissory Note

The following table summarizes our long-term debt’s principal and interest payment obligations at September 30, 2016:

	Maturity Date	Interest Payment Due Date
8% Senior Notes	January 2020	January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30
3.875% Convertible Senior Notes	March 2019	March 15 and September 15

See Note 9 — “Long-Term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information including information on repurchases of our convertible senior notes.

Limited Partnership Investments

Our limited partnership investments consist of four private equity funds managed by their general partners. Three of these funds have unexpired capital commitments which are callable at the discretion of the fund’s general partner for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. At September 30, 2016, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $13,554,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 3 — “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Share Repurchase Plan

On December 15, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a one-year plan to repurchase up to $20,000,000 of common shares under which we may purchase shares of common stock in open market purchases, block transactions and privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. At September 30, 2016, there was approximately $2,000,000 available under the plan which was completed November 1, 2016. See Note 14 — “Stockholders’ Equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Real Estate Development in Progress

We currently have development projects through our joint ventures. Although we have no outstanding commitment to fund any of the existing projects and we expect to finance existing and future development projects with cash from real estate operations and through property financings, we may be required to make additional capital contributions when warranted.

47

Impact from Hurricane Matthew

Based on our preliminary estimate of the losses caused by Hurricane Matthew as described in Note 18 — “Subsequent Event” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not believe there will be a significant impact on our future liquidity and financial position.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash Flows for the Nine months ended September 30, 2016

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $91,465,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $46,447,000 was primarily due to the purchases of available-for-sale securities of $92,491,000, and the limited partnership investments of $4,670,000, offset by the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities of $51,570,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $20,868,000, which was primarily due to $11,347,000 used in the repurchases of our convertible senior notes, $18,023,000 used in our share repurchase plan and $8,807,000 of net cash dividend payments, offset by $18,200,000 in aggregate proceeds from the issuance of two promissory notes.

Cash Flows for the Nine months ended September 30, 2015

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $106,330,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $79,773,000 was primarily due to the purchases of available-for-sale securities of $121,176,000, the funding of the ADC Arrangement of $6,276,000 and $22,486,000 used to fund the limited partnership investments, decreased by redemptions and repayments of fixed-maturity securities of $5,655,000, and the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities of $65,621,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $9,380,000, which was primarily due to $1,610,000 used in our share repurchase plan and $9,077,000 of net cash dividend payments, offset by $1,836,000 of tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

Investments

The main objective of our investment policy is to maximize our after-tax investment income with a reasonable level of risk given the current financial market. Our excess cash is invested primarily in money market accounts and available-for-sale investments.

At September 30, 2016, we had $221,476,000 of available-for-sale investments, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the general interest rate environment affect the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments. While a rising interest rate environment enhances the returns available on new investments, it reduces the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments and thus the availability of gains on disposition. A decline in interest rates reduces the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments but increases the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments, creating the opportunity for realized investment gains on disposition.

48

With the exception of large national banks, it is our current policy not to maintain cash deposits of more than an aggregate of $10,000,000 in any one bank at any time. From time to time, we may have in excess of $10,000,000 of cash designated for investment and on deposit at a single national brokerage firm. In the future, we may alter our investment policy as to investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2016, we had unexpired capital commitments for three of the four limited partnerships in which we hold interests. Such commitments are not recognized in the financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 16 — “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Contractual Obligations and Commitment below for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

49

We believe our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense. These policies are critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results. They require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported and reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) are specific to property insurance, which is our insurance division’s only line of business. The Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. At each period end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience. Changes in the estimated liability are charged or credited to operations when the losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted.

The IBNR represents our estimate of the ultimate cost of all claims that have occurred but have not been reported to us, and in some cases may not yet be known to the insured, and future development of reported claims. Estimating the IBNR component of our Reserves involves considerable judgment on the part of management. At September 30, 2016, $37,609,000 of the total $57,195,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $19,586,000 relates to known cases which have been reported but not yet fully settled in which case we have established a reserve based on currently available information and our best estimate of the cost to settle each claim. At September 30, 2016, $12,249,000 of the $19,586,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.

Our Reserves increased from $51,690,000 at December 31, 2015 to $57,195,000 at September 30, 2016. The $5,505,000 increase in our Reserves is comprised of $30,029,000 in reserves related to claims occurring in the 2016 loss year offset by reductions in our Reserves of $13,319,000 for 2015 and $11,205,000 for 2014 and prior loss years. The $30,029,000 in Reserves established for 2016 claims is primarily driven by an allowance for subsequent development of claims reported for the accident year and an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of September 30, 2016. The decrease of $24,524,000 specific to our 2015 and prior loss-year reserves is primarily due to settlement of claims related to those loss years.

Based on all information known to us, we consider our Reserves at September 30, 2016 to be adequate to cover our claims for losses that have occurred as of that date including losses yet to be reported to us. However, these estimates are continually reviewed by management as they are subject to significant variability and may be impacted by trends in claim severity and frequency or unusual exposures that have not yet been identified. As part of the process, we review historical data and consider various factors, including known and anticipated regulatory and legal developments, changes in social attitudes, inflation and economic conditions. As experience develops and other data becomes available, these estimates are revised, as required, resulting in increases or decreases to the existing unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they are made and the liabilities may deviate substantially from prior estimates.

Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions

Certain of our reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums or increase the amount of future coverage in the event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of loss experience gives rise to an increase in future coverage or obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under the contract. In the event that a loss arises, we will derecognize such asset in the period in which a loss arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our operating results when a catastrophic loss event occurs during the contract term. Effective June 1, 2016, retrospective provisions include premium adjustments only.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we accrued benefits of $2,490,000 and $4,709,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we deferred recognition of $937,000 in ceded premiums. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized ceded premiums of $1,808,000, representing amortization of previously deferred reinsurance costs for increased coverage. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, net reductions in ceded premiums totaled $3,428,000 and $2,901,000, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we accrued benefits of $11,120,000 and $17,077,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized net ceded premiums of $1,871,000, representing amortization of $3,085,000 of previously deferred reinsurance costs for increased coverage offset by $1,214,000 of ceded premiums deferred for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized net ceded premiums of $1,562,000, representing amortization of $1,825,000 of previously deferred reinsurance costs for increased coverage decreased by a net increase of $263,000 of ceded premiums deferred for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, net reductions in ceded premiums totaled $9,250,000 and $15,515,000, respectively.

In June 2016, we received cash totaling $37,800,000 in connection with the benefits accrued for two retrospective reinsurance contracts that were terminated effective May 31, 2016. In September 2016, we received the final cash payment of $5,716,000 under the terms of the remaining retrospective reinsurance contract which terminated May 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, we had $3,320,000 of accrued benefits and $1,214,000 of ceded premiums deferred, amounts that would be charged to earnings in the event we experience a catastrophic loss that exceeds the coverage limits provided under such agreements and in the period that the increased coverage is applicable. At December 31, 2015, we had $35,716,000 of accrued benefits and $3,085,000 of ceded premiums deferred related to these agreements.

We believe the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal based on available information about the individual reinsurer’s financial position.

The above and other accounting estimates and their related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there have been no material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our investment portfolio at September 30, 2016 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 to meet our obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Our investment securities are managed primarily by outside investment advisors and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our board of directors.

Our investment portfolios are exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Fiscal and economic uncertainties caused by any government action or inaction may exacerbate these risks and potentially have adverse impacts on the value of our investment portfolios.

We classify our fixed-maturity and equity 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. As such, any material temporary changes in their fair value can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risk

Our fixed-maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. 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, 2016 (amounts in thousands):

Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates	Estimated Fair Value		Change in Estimated Fair Value			Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Fair Value
300 basis point increase	$	148,755	$	(21,261	)		(12.51	)%
200 basis point increase		155,836		(14,180	)		(8.34	)%
100 basis point increase		162,923		(7,093	)		(4.17	)%
100 basis point decrease		177,112		7,096			4.17	%
200 basis point decrease		183,511		13,495			7.94	%
300 basis point decrease		186,627		16,611			9.77	%

Credit Risk

Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate the risk by investing in fixed-maturity securities that are generally investment grade, by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or business sector, and by continually monitoring each individual security for declines in credit quality. While we emphasize credit quality in our investment selection process, significant downturns in the markets or general economy may impact the credit quality of our portfolio.

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at September 30, 2016 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We may incur potential losses due to declines in equity security prices. We manage the risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset mix.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluating their benefits relative to costs.

54

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported in our Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016, the Company, each of the directors and two shareholders agreed to a settlement with respect to demands by the two shareholders. As a result, certain of the directors’ restricted shares were cancelled March 2, 2016. The cancelled shares were made up of 148,000 shares that would vest in the event our share price reached $50.00 and 12,000 shares that would vest in the event our share price reached $95.00. Our board members and the Company have also implemented certain non-financial corporate governance changes. We are not aware of any other pending shareholder demands.

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 consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

With the exception of the items described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016.

Our revenue from real estate investments may be affected by the success and economic viability of our anchor retail tenants. Our reliance on a single or significant tenant at certain properties may impact our ability to lease vacated space and adversely affect returns on the specific property.

At certain retail centers, we may have tenants, commonly referred to as anchor tenants, occupying all or a large portion of the gross leasable space. In the event an anchor tenant becomes insolvent, suffers a downturn in business, ceases its operations at the retail center, or otherwise determines not to renew its lease, any reduction or cessation of rental payments to us could adversely affect the returns on our real estate investments. A lease termination or cessation of operations by an anchor tenant could also lead to the loss of other tenants at the specific retail location. We may then incur additional expenses to make improvements and prepare the vacated space to be leased to one or more new tenants.

Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases.

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on Payment of Dividends

We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiary, however, is subject to restrictions on the dividends it may pay. Those restrictions could impact HCI’s ability to pay future dividends.    

Under Florida law, a domestic insurer such as our insurance subsidiary, HCPCI, may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholder except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, Florida statutes preclude our insurance subsidiary from making dividend payments or distributions to its stockholder, HCI, without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of (1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains.

56

Alternatively, a Florida domestic insurer may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (1) if the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains or (b) the insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, (2) the insurer will have policy holder capital surplus equal to or exceeding 115.0% of the minimum required statutory capital surplus after the dividend or distribution, (3) the insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution and (4) the notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution, the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory capital surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, a Florida domiciled insurer may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (1) subject to prior approval by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation or (2) 30 days after the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, HCPCI paid a $19,000,000 dividend to HCI.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements for HCI Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies for reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairment involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Acquisitions. The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method, which requires it to measure and recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. In the event that the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.

Acquisitions of income-producing properties are typically considered business acquisitions. As such, the Company allocates the purchase price to land, land improvements, buildings, tenant improvements, intangibles such as the value of significant tenant (i.e. anchor tenant) relationships, in-place leases, and assumed liabilities, if any. Tangible assets are presented as real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Buildings subject to leases are valued as if vacant.

The value attributable to in-place leases reflects the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level that existed at the acquisition date. These costs include leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and other direct costs required to lease the property. In addition, the estimated fair value of in-place leases reflects the value of base rental revenues that would have been earned during the assumed periods of vacancy and the related carrying costs that would have been incurred to lease the vacant property to its existing occupancy. The Company also reviews terms of the assumed leases to evaluate whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable relative to the market at the acquisition date. In the event the assumed leases are not at market terms, the Company recognizes an intangible asset for a lease with favorable terms and a liability if the terms of the lease are unfavorable.

Transaction costs related to a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The Company includes acquisition-related costs associated with real estate investments in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Intangible Assets. Intangibles consist of the value attributable to the acquired in-place leases and the primary, or anchor, tenant relationships. The value attributable to the anchor tenant relationship represents the economic benefits of having a nationally recognized retailer as the lead tenant, which draws traffic and other tenants to the retail center. These intangibles are amortized to expense over the related lease term. Amortization of the intangibles related to real estate investments is reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statement of income. The Company reviews these intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Other-than-temporary Impairment

The Company regularly reviews its individual investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including-

• the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;

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

• general market conditions, industry or sector specific factors and other qualitative factors;

• nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and

• the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

At September 30, 2016, one fixed-maturity security the Company intends to hold to maturity had a credit related loss. This compares with two fixed-maturity securities at December 31, 2015 that were other-than-temporarily impaired. In June 2016, the Company sold one other-than-temporarily impaired fixed-maturity security due to uncertainties surrounding the issuer’s restructuring plan. Prior to the sale, this security’s remaining $202 of impairment loss was reclassified from comprehensive income and recognized in total other-than-temporary impairment losses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $531 of impairment loss on one fixed-maturity security, of which $180 was considered other-than-temporarily impaired due to a credit related loss and recorded in the consolidated statement of income, with the remaining amount of $351 related to non-credit factors and recorded in other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $675 of impairment losses in the consolidated statement of income, representing $206 of additional losses recorded during the period and the reclassification of $469 previously recorded in other comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $705 of impairment losses on two fixed-maturity securities, of which $109 was related to credit losses, with the remaining amount of $596 related to non-credit factors.

The following table presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in income from available for sale fixed-maturity securities:

	2016			2015
Balance at January 1	$	111		$	—
Additional credit impairments on previously impaired securities		293			—
Balance at March 31		404			—
Credit impaired security fully disposed of for which there was no prior intent or requirement to sell		(385	)		—
Reduction due to increase in expected cash flows recognized over the remaining life of the previously impaired security		(19	)		—
Balance at June 30		—			—
Credit impairments on impaired securities		180			109
Balance at September 30	$	180		$	109

In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost, the length of time each security has been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near term prospect for recovery. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had 16 and 17 equity securities, respectively, that were other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company recognized impairment losses of $44 and $1,777, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized impairment losses of $766 and $3,760, respectively.

Securities with gross unrealized loss positions at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows:

	Less Than Twelve Months					Twelve Months or Greater					Total

At September 30, 2016, there were 75 securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these securities, 23 securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater. The gross unrealized loss of corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more included $351 of other-than-temporary impairment losses related to non-credit factors.

At December 31, 2015, there were 101 securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these securities, 10 securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater. The gross unrealized loss of corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more included $581 of other-than-temporary impairment losses related to non-credit factors.

Business Acquisition

Note 5 — Business Acquisition

On August 16, 2016, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Greenleaf Capital, LLC, assigned the right to purchase the developed property in the ADC Arrangement to its subsidiary, Sorrento PBX, LLC. Sorrento PBX simultaneously exercised the purchase option and acquired the property from Sorrento Retail Investments, LLC. The acquired assets included a retail shopping center and appurtenant facilities in Sorrento, Florida as well as existing tenant lease agreements to use the property. The acquisition is part of the Company’s strategic plan to expand its real estate operations. The purchase price was $12,250, which was determined using a predetermined capitalization rate and the projected net operating income of the property. The Company recognized a $2,071 gain on bargain purchase, resulting primarily from a favorable fair value at the date of acquisition as compared with the Company’s purchase price. The Company relied on an independent appraisal report, which is based on the weighted results of two valuation approaches, in determining the estimated fair values of the significant assets acquired. This acquisition was financed in part by the proceeds from the issuance of a 3.75% promissory note. See Note 9 — “Long-Term Debt” for additional information.

The table below presents an allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their fair values at the acquisition date:

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash	$	194
Land		1,600
Land improvements		3,045
Buildings		7,120
Intangibles		2,580

Other assets		33
Other liabilities		(356	)
Total net assets acquired		14,321
Less: gain on bargain purchase		(2,071	)
Purchase price	$	12,250

The acquired business contributed $99 of rental income and $112 of net loss to the Company for the period from August 16, 2016 to September 30, 2016. Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the effects of the acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2016

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company records and discloses certain financial assets at their estimated fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1	—	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets;
Level 2	—	Other inputs that are observable for the asset and the liability, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities that are not observable throughout the full term; and
Level 3	—	Inputs that are unobservable.

Valuation Methodology

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money-market funds. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity and high liquidity of these funds.

Available-for-sale securities

Estimated fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are generally measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar securities. In those instances where observable inputs are not available, fair values are measured using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value estimates derived from unobservable inputs are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

The estimated fair values for securities that do not trade on a daily basis are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from an independent pricing service and information provided by brokers. Management reviews the assumptions and methods utilized by the pricing service and then compares the relevant data and pricing to broker-provided data. The Company gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through ongoing monitoring of the reported fair values.

ADC Arrangement Classified as Real Estate Investment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under ADC Arrangement, the ADC Arrangement represented a financing agreement with a purchase option between Greenleaf Capital and a property developer. Based on the characteristics of this ADC Arrangement which were similar to those of an investment, combined with the expected residual profit being greater than 50%, the arrangement was included in real estate investments at its carrying value in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Projected future cash inflows at maturity were discounted using a prevailing borrowing rate to estimate its fair value that relies on Level 3 inputs. This ADC Arrangement was terminated at the time the Company exercised the purchase option to acquire the related property in August 2016.

Limited Partnership Investments

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under Limited Partnership Investments, the Company has interests in limited partnerships which are private equity funds. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, these funds are required to use fair value accounting; therefore, the estimated fair value approximates the carrying value of these funds.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt includes the Company’s 8% senior notes due 2020, 3.875% convertible senior notes due 2019 and two promissory notes due through 2036. The 8% senior notes trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The estimated fair value of the 8% senior notes is based on the closing market price at each balance sheet date. The 3.875% convertible senior notes were sold in a private offering. The fair values of the 3.875% convertible senior notes and the promissory notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow method that relies on Level 3 inputs.

Assets Measured at Estimated Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis. The table indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and one quota share agreement. The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company enters into reinsurance treaties with highly rated and reputable reinsurers and it evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.

The impact of the reinsurance treaties on premiums written and earned is as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no recoveries pertaining to reinsurance contracts that were deducted from losses incurred. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 35 and 21 reinsurers, respectively, participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. There were no amounts receivable with respect to reinsurers at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Thus, there were no concentrations of credit risk associated with reinsurance receivables as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In addition, based on the insurance ratings and the financial strength of the reinsurers, management believes there was no credit risk associated with its reinsurers’ obligations to perform on any prepaid reinsurance contract as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Certain of the reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums or increase the amount of future coverage in the event losses are minimal or zero. Effective June 1, 2016, retrospective provisions include premium adjustments only. These adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as net reductions in ceded premiums of $3,428 and $2,901 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $594 and $336 relates to the Company’s contract with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited (see Note 17 — Related Party Transactions). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, these adjustments were $9,250 and $15,515, respectively, of which $1,334 and $2,461 relates to the Company’s contract with Oxbridge. In June 2016, the Company received a total of $37,800 in cash benefits related to two retrospective reinsurance contracts that terminated May 31, 2016 of which $7,560 was received from Oxbridge. In September 2016, the Company received the final cash payment of $5,716 under the terms of the remaining retrospective reinsurance contract which terminated May 31, 2016.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, other assets included $3,320 and $36,176, respectively, and prepaid reinsurance premiums included $1,214 and $2,625, respectively, which are related to these adjustments. Management believes the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal as the amount receivable is concentrated with one reinsurer and the Company monitors the creditworthiness of this reinsurer based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial position.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Note 11 — Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claim development and losses incurred, but not reported.

Activity in the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Balance, beginning of period	$	54,727		$	54,329		$	51,690		$	48,908
Incurred related to:
Current period		21,283			24,419			68,703			63,473
Prior period		4,626			1,781			10,558			2,331
Total incurred		25,909			26,200			79,261			65,804
Paid related to:
Current period		(16,078	)		(16,059	)		(38,674	)		(31,111	)
Prior period		(7,363	)		(7,253	)		(35,082	)		(26,384	)
Total paid		(23,441	)		(23,312	)		(73,756	)		(57,495	)
Balance, end of period	$	57,195		$	57,217		$	57,195		$	57,217

The establishment of loss reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such estimates are adjusted. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company experienced unfavorable development of $4,626 and $10,558, respectively, attributable to the settlement and further development of older claims and an increase in late reported claims, primarily claims related to the 2015 loss year.

The Company writes insurance in the state of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.

Note 12 — Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded approximately $8,696 and $4,567, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in effective tax rates of 43.4% and 38.3%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $16,542 and $33,796, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rates of 40.4% and 38.2%, respectively. The increase in the 2016 effective tax rate was primarily attributable to permanent differences between financial and tax income. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain nondeductible and tax-exempt items.

Obligations under Multi-Year Reinsurance Contracts

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has contractual obligations related to multi-year reinsurance contracts. These contracts were effective June 1, 2016 and may be cancelled only with the other party’s consent. The future minimum aggregate premiums payable to these reinsurers is $19,400 due in each of the twelve-month periods following September 30, 2016 and 2017.

Capital Commitment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under Limited Partnership Investments, the Company is contractually committed to capital contributions under three limited partnership agreements. At September 30, 2016, there was an aggregate unfunded balance of $13,554.

Premium Tax

In September 2013, the Company received a notice of intent to make audit adjustments from the Florida Department of Revenue (“the Department”) in connection with the Department’s audit of the Company’s premium tax returns for the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. The auditor’s proposed adjustments primarily related to the Department’s proposed disallowance of the entire amount of $1,754 in Florida salary credits applicable to that period. The proposed adjustment, which included interest through September 10, 2013, approximated $1,913. To resolve the matter, the Company entered into negotiations with the Department and reached an agreement in principle whereby certain of the Company’s subsidiaries would individually file and pay state reemployment taxes plus interest covering the periods under audit through the second quarter of 2014. Such filings were expected to yield a refund of reemployment taxes paid by the Company. In December 2015, the Department issued its Notice of Decision indicating the Company owed approximately $38 in full settlement of the premium tax and related interest, which the Company paid in February 2016. The Company received refunds totaling $57 related to its reemployment tax filings specific to the period for which the Company was required to file and pay the subsidiary reemployment tax returns as part of the negotiated settlement. As a result, the Company realized a net benefit of $19. Management believes this matter is fully resolved.

Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd., the Company’s Bermuda domiciled reinsurance subsidiary has a reinsurance agreement with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited whereby a portion of the business assumed from the Company’s insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc., is ceded by Claddaugh to Oxbridge. With respect to the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, Oxbridge assumed $11,600 of the total covered exposure for $3,340 in premiums. With respect to the period from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017, Oxbridge assumed $6,000 of the total covered exposure for approximately $3,400 in premiums. See Note 10 — Reinsurance – which includes the amounts due from and paid by Oxbridge during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 with respect to benefits accrued in connection with the Oxbridge agreements. The premiums charged by Oxbridge are at rates which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. Oxbridge has deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. Trust assets may be withdrawn by Claddaugh, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the Oxbridge reinsurance agreements. Among the Oxbridge shareholders are Paresh Patel, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also chairman of the board of directors for Oxbridge, and members of his immediate family and three of the Company’s non-employee directors including Sanjay Madhu who serves as Oxbridge’s president and chief executive officer.

During October 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused significant property damage along an extensive area of Florida’s east coast. As of October 27, 2016, the Company had received approximately 2,000 claims and incurred initial losses totaling approximately $13,000, pre-tax, related to Hurricane Matthew. While it is too early to determine the ultimate net loss from this event, the Company expects gross losses to be between $20,000 and $25,000, which falls below the Company’s reinsurance retention level. As such, the Company does not anticipate reinsurance recoveries from its third-party reinsurers.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements for HCI Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies for reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairment involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Business Acquisitions

Business Acquisitions. The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method, which requires it to measure and recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. In the event that the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.

Acquisitions of income-producing properties are typically considered business acquisitions. As such, the Company allocates the purchase price to land, land improvements, buildings, tenant improvements, intangibles such as the value of significant tenant (i.e. anchor tenant) relationships, in-place leases, and assumed liabilities, if any. Tangible assets are presented as real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Buildings subject to leases are valued as if vacant.

The value attributable to in-place leases reflects the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level that existed at the acquisition date. These costs include leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and other direct costs required to lease the property. In addition, the estimated fair value of in-place leases reflects the value of base rental revenues that would have been earned during the assumed periods of vacancy and the related carrying costs that would have been incurred to lease the vacant property to its existing occupancy. The Company also reviews terms of the assumed leases to evaluate whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable relative to the market at the acquisition date. In the event the assumed leases are not at market terms, the Company recognizes an intangible asset for a lease with favorable terms and a liability if the terms of the lease are unfavorable.

Transaction costs related to a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The Company includes acquisition-related costs associated with real estate investments in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets. Intangibles consist of the value attributable to the acquired in-place leases and the primary, or anchor, tenant relationships. The value attributable to the anchor tenant relationship represents the economic benefits of having a nationally recognized retailer as the lead tenant, which draws traffic and other tenants to the retail center. These intangibles are amortized to expense over the related lease term. Amortization of the intangibles related to real estate investments is reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statement of income. The Company reviews these intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
