Global Indemnity Group, LLC (“Global Indemnity”, "GBLI", or “the Company”), a
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any declines in value related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
10
For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:
According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. That new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Subject to the risks and uncertainties in evaluating the potential impairment of a security's value, the impairment evaluation conducted by the Company as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 concluded the unrealized losses in the tables above are non-credit losses on securities where management does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery.
The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities was $
The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any:
U.S. treasuries – As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasuries were $
Obligations of states and political subdivisions – As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were $
11
Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) – As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were $
Asset backed securities (“ABS”) - As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were $
Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) - As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were $
Corporate bonds - As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were $
Foreign bonds – As of June 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were $

The Company has evaluated its investment portfolio and has determined that an allowance for expected credit losses on its investments is not required.

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

The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.
16
The Company’s invested assets are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.
The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.

Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

Results of Operations
The Company realized net income of $10.1 million and $9.3 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and realized net income of $21.5 million and $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net investment income increased by $2.1 million and $4.6 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. This increase in net investment income was primarily due to strategies employed by the Company to take advantage of rising interest rates which resulted in a 18% increase in book yield on the fixed maturities portfolio to 4.5% at June 30, 2024 from 3.8% at June 30, 2023. The weighted average duration of the fixed maturities portfolio was 1.0 years as of June 30, 2024.
The Company generated underwriting income of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to underwriting income of $3.2 million for the same period in 2023. This increase in underwriting income is driven by strong underwriting results within the Company's Penn-America segment mainly due to a 3.0 point improvement in its current accident year loss ratio. Underwriting income for the quarter was $3.5 million in 2024 compared to $4.3 million in 2023. This decrease was predominantly due to a decline in earned premium volume related to Non-Core Operations. Overall, the combined ratio for the quarter improved to 96.6 in 2024 from 96.9 in 2023.
The following table summarizes the Company’s results for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Gross written premiums decreased by 8.5% and 16.7% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to same periods in 2023. The decrease in gross written premiums is mainly due to a reduction in premiums within Non-Core Operations for lines of business that have been de-emphasized or no longer written. In addition, within Penn-America, the gross written premiums for Programs decreased primarily due to actions taken in 2023 to improve underwriting results through increased rates and form changes. These reductions in premiums were partially offset by continued growth of 10.5% and 8.8% in aggregate for Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The growth in Wholesale Commercial and InsurTech is driven by premium rate increases, new agency appointments, organic growth of existing agents, and new products. The growth in Assumed Reinsurance is primarily due to new treaties entered into during 2023 and 2024 and increased participation or organic growth from existing treaties.

The net premium retention for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 0.8 points and 2.6 points, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. Penn-America's retention increased by 0.7 points and 1.7 points for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to the termination of two quota share agreements and lower cost on the Company's catastrophe reinsurance treaty. Cessions on Non-Core Operations were significantly reduced due to sale of manufactured home and dwelling business in 2021 and the Farm, Ranch and Stable business in 2022. See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the sale of renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes business and the Company's Farm, Ranch & Stable business.
Net Earned Premiums
Net earned premiums within the Penn-America segment decreased by 3.6% and 2.6% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to the reduction in premiums written for Programs as a result of underwriting actions taken in 2023 to improve underwriting profitability partially offset by continued premium growth in Penn-America's InsurTech and Assumed Reinsurance divisions. Property net earned premiums were $39.1 million and $35.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $79.0 million and $73.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $50.2 million and $57.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $99.5 million and $110.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net earned premiums within the Non-Core Operations segment decreased by 90.5% and 87.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to the non-renewal of a casualty treaty as well as a reduction in earned premiums due to the sale of Farm, Ranch & Stable renewal rights on August 8, 2022. There were no property earned premiums for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Property earned premiums were $4.4 million and $13.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $3.6 million and $32.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $10.9 million and $72.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Reserves
Amounts recorded for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s best estimate at June 30, 2024. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $844.2 million and $773.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024. A breakout of the Company’s gross and net reserves, as of June 30, 2024, is as follows:

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $107.1 million for claims occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

The Company’s net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $773.8 million as of June 30, 2024 relate to multiple accident years. Therefore, the impact of changes in frequency and severity for more than one accident year could be higher or lower than the amounts reflected above.

Expense Ratios
The expense ratio for the Company’s Penn-America segment increased by 0.9 points from 37.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to 38.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and increased by 0.9 points from 37.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the expense ratio is predominantly due to a reduction of earned premiums in 2024 as well as a one time recovery of expenses related to employee medical benefits in 2023 which did not repeat.

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

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

Net investment income increased by 15.9% and 18.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. This increase in net investment income was primarily due to strategies employed by the Company to take advantage of rising interest rates which resulted in a 18% increase in book yield on the fixed maturities portfolio to 4.5% at June 30, 2024 from 3.8% at June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, the Company held asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations with a market value of $303.7 million. Excluding the asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 0.8 years as of June 30, 2024, compared with 1.2 years as of June 30, 2023. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. The Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 4.5% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 3.8% as of June 30, 2023. The embedded book yield on the $19.4 million of taxable municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio was 2.9% at June 30, 2024, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.0% on the Company’s taxable municipal bonds of $30.6 million at June 30, 2023.

See Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for an analysis of total investment return on a pre-tax basis for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Corporate and Other Operating Expenses
Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees and advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, impairment losses, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate and other operating expenses were $6.4 million and $5.0 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12.7 million and $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees.
41
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.5 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to higher taxable income during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023.
See Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods.
Net Income
The factors described above resulted in net income of $10.1 million and $9.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and net income of $21.5 million and $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The most critical accounting policies involve significant estimates and include those used in determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, recoverability of reinsurance receivables, investments, fair value measurements, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred acquisition costs, and taxation. For a detailed discussion on each of these policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to any of these policies or underlying methodologies during the current year.
