At September 30, 2017, fixed-maturity securities included $252 of U.S. Treasury securities related to a statutory deposit held in trust for the South Carolina Director of Insurance. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. The scheduled contractual maturities of fixed-maturity securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:
Sales of Available-for-Sale Securities Proceeds received, and the gross realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
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-
Fixed-maturity Securities There was no impairment loss recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $100 of impairment losses related to the sale of two intent-to-sell fixed-maturity securities. At September 30, 2017, two fixed-maturity securities were considered other-than-temporarily impaired due to their credit risk. The Company intends to hold these two fixed-maturity securities until maturity, but does not expect a full recovery of their carrying value. In June 2016, the Company sold one impaired fixed-maturity security that was previously intended to hold until maturity due to uncertainties surrounding the issuer’s announced restructuring plan. Prior to the sale of this security, the remaining $202 of unrealized 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, 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 loss 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. At September 30, 2016, one fixed-maturity security the Company intended to hold to maturity had a credit related loss. The following table presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses in other-than-temporary impairments recognized in income from available for sale fixed-maturity securities.
Equity Securities 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. The Company recognized impairment losses of $474 and $44 in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment losses of $764 and $766, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had four and 16 equity securities, respectively, that were other-than-temporarily impaired.
