Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation |
Global Indemnity Limited (“Global Indemnity” or “the Company”) was incorporated on

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, 2020 and 2019 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 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments |
The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. For financial assets held at amortized cost basis, the new guidance requires a forward-looking methodology for in-scope financial assets that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information for credit loss estimates, including historical experience, current economic conditions and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial asset. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are still measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired security and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses continue to be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable was $

Fixed maturities in a gross unrealized loss position are comprised of non-credit losses on investment grade securities where management does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be forced to sell the security before recovery. |
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 credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:
|
(1) |
the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; |
|
(2) |
the issuer is in financial distress; |
|
(3) |
the investment is secured; |
|
(4) |
a significant credit rating action occurred; |
|
(5) |
scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed; |
|
(6) |
changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry; |
|
(7) |
the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity; |
|
(8) |
the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and |
|
(9) |
changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement. |
According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for 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.

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

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.

Derivative Instruments |
Derivatives are used by the Company to reduce risks from changes in interest rates and limit exposure to severe equity market changes. The Company has interest rate swaps with terms to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. In 2019, the Company began to utilize exchange-traded futures contracts, which give the holder the right and obligation to participate in market movements at a future date, to allow the Company to react faster to market conditions. The Company posts collateral and settles variation margin in cash on a daily basis equal to the amount of the futures contracts’ change in value scaled by a multiplier.
The Company accounts for the interest rate swaps and futures as non-hedge instruments and recognizes the fair value of the interest rate swaps in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with the changes in fair value recognized as net realized investment gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is ultimately responsible for the valuation of the interest rate swaps. To aid in determining the estimated fair value of the
19
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
interest rate swaps, the Company relies on the forward interest rate curve and information obtained from a third party financial institution.
The following table summarizes information on the location and the gross amount of the derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Fair Value Measurements |
The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.
The Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:
|
• |
Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
|
• |
Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly. |
20
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
|
• |
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. |
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.
The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

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

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
The securities classified as Level 2 in the above table consist primarily of fixed maturity securities and derivative instruments. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, security prices are derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments, consisting of interest rate swaps, is obtained from a third party financial institution that utilizes observable inputs such as the forward interest rate curve.
For the Company’s material debt arrangements, the current fair value of the Company’s debt at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

Pricing
The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:
|
• |
Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges. |
|
• |
Corporate and agency bonds are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities. |
|
• |
Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for commercial mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds. |
|
• |
For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research. |
|
• |
U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers. |
|
• |
For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors. |
The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to:
|
• |
Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch. This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change. |
|
• |
Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy. |
|
• |
On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities. |
During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not adjusted quotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors.
6.Allowance for Credit Losses - Premiums Receivable and Reinsurance Receivables
The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Please see Note 16 for further discussion on this new accounting guidance.
23
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
For premiums receivables, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, direct placement with collection agencies, solvency of insured or agent, terminated agents, and other relevant factors.
For reinsurance receivables, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, disputes, applicable coverage defenses, insolvent reinsurers, financial strength of solvent reinsurers based on A.M Best Ratings and other relevant factors.
The following table is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to the Company's premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020:

11.Commitments and Contingencies
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.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
In March, 2020, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that affected a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments in this update are meant to make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarification. This guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In August, 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which removed, modified, and added certain disclosures related to Topic 820, Fair Value. The affected disclosures are related to transfers between fair value levels, level 3 assets, and investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value. This guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
In January, 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance that simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e. Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test). Under the new amendments, an entity may still first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of a goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for public business entities’ annual or interim goodwill impairment testing in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June, 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance addressing the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes but are not limited to premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the asset using an allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance are charged to earnings. The measurement of expected credit losses should consider relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired securities and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income. In addition, the Company made certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivables which are described in Note 3. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 using a modified-retrospective approach. The adoption of this new accounting guidance and the impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is described primarily within Note 3 and Note 6.
Please see Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted.
17.Subsequent Events
Please see Note 10 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s 2045 Notes.

The COVID-19 pandemic may affect the Company’s operations in the third quarter and may continue to do so indefinitely, thereafter. The Company may experience reductions in premium volume, delays in the collection of premiums, and increases in COVID-19 related claims. The volatility in the global financial markets may negatively impact the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio and may result in net realized investment losses as well as a decline in the liquidity of the investment portfolio. All of these factors may have far reaching impacts on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitation impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, distribution, marketing, customers and agents, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic ends.
Proposed Redomestication
On June 23, 2020, the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to redomesticate the Company and its Bermuda subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance, to the United States. The Board also approved the filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders that will be called to consider and approve the redomestication plan. The preliminary proxy was filed on June 23, 2020. This plan to redomesticate is also awaiting regulatory approval. If approved by its shareholders and regulatory approval is received, the Company anticipates that the redomestication will close on or around 12:01am (Eastern Time) on August 28, 2020. Please see Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for additional information on the proposed redomestication.
Redemption of Debt
In July 2020, the Company notified the Trustee of the 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2045 (“2045 Notes”) that it has elected to redeem the entire $100 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2045 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2045 Notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date of August 15, 2020.
Dividend
During 2020, the Board of Directors approved a dividend payment of $0.25 per ordinary share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 24, 2020 and June 23, 2020. Dividends paid were $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Overview
The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment sells its property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 180 professional general agencies that have limited quoting and binding authority, as well as a number of wholesale insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. Commercial Specialty operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. The Company manages its
49
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
Commercial Specialty segment via product classifications. These product classifications are: 1) Penn-America, which includes property and general liability products for small commercial businesses sold through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which includes property, general liability, and professional lines products sold through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which includes property, casualty, and professional lines products sold through wholesale brokers and program administrators with specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is sold through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents.
The Company’s Specialty Property segment, via American Reliable, offers specialty personal lines property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 230 agents, primarily comprised of wholesale general agents, with specific binding authority in the admitted marketplace.
The Company’s Farm, Ranch, & Stable segment, via American Reliable, provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry on an admitted basis. These insurance products are sold through a group of approximately 210 agents, primarily comprised of wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority.
The Company’s Reinsurance Operations, consisting solely of the operations of Global Indemnity Reinsurance, currently provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and on a direct basis. Global Indemnity Reinsurance is a Bermuda based treaty reinsurer for specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies. Global Indemnity Reinsurance conducts business in Bermuda and is focused on using its capital capacity to write niche and specialty-focused treaties and business which meet the Company’s risk tolerance and return thresholds. Assuming the Company redomesticates, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2020, Global Indemnity Reinsurance’s business will be assumed by the Company’s existing U.S. insurance company subsidiaries.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from premiums paid on insurance policies that it writes and from income generated by its investment portfolio, net of fees paid for investment management services. The amount of insurance premiums that the Company receives is a function of the amount and type of policies it writes, as well as prevailing market prices.
The Company’s expenses include losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, corporate and other operating expenses, interest, investment expenses, and income taxes. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated by management and reflect the Company’s best estimate of ultimate losses and costs arising during the reporting period and revisions of prior period estimates. The Company records its best estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses considering both internal and external actuarial analyses of the estimated losses the Company expects to incur on the insurance policies it writes. The ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses will depend on the actual costs to resolve claims. Acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and premium taxes that are typically a percentage of the premiums on the insurance policies the Company writes, net of ceding commissions earned from reinsurers. Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and general operating expenses related to underwriting activities. Corporate and other operating expenses are comprised primarily of outside legal fees, other professional and accounting fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, and salaries and benefits for company personnel whose services relate to the support of corporate activities. Interest expense is primarily comprised of amounts due on outstanding debt.
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,
50
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes to any of these policies or underlying methodologies during the current year except for the following.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. In conjunction with implementing this new guidance, the Company modified its impairment process as well as made certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivables. Please see Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a discussion on the Company’s impairment process and accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivable. Please see Note 6 for a discussion on the Company’s policies related to the evaluation process when estimating expected credit losses for premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables.

The decrease is mainly due to the reduction of catastrophe exposed business within both Specialty Property and Farm, Ranch, & Stable, reduction in business not providing an adequate return on capital within Specialty Property, and Reinsurance Operations’ non-renewal of its property catastrophe treaties. This reduction in premiums was partially offset by organic growth from existing agents, increased pricing, and several new programs within Commercial Specialty, rate increases and new agent appointments within Farm, Ranch, & Stable, and growth of the new casualty treaty entered into by Reinsurance Operations in 2019.

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 $164.9 million for claims occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

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

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
Expense Ratios
The expense ratio for the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment improved by 2.4 points from 40.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to 38.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and improved by 2.5 points from 40.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 38.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to higher earned premiums.
COVID-19
COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Commercial Specialty’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.
There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.
Specialty Property
The components of income and loss from the Company’s Specialty Property segment and corresponding underwriting ratios are as follows:

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

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

Expense Ratios
The expense ratio for the Company’s Farm, Ranch, & Stable Segment improved 2.3 points from 42.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to 40.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and improved 2.0 points from 42.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 40.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to higher earned premiums.
COVID-19
There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.
COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Farm, Ranch, & Stable’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
The table above includes a reconciliation of the current accident year loss ratio, which is a non-GAAP ratio, to its calendar year loss ratio, which is its most directly comparable GAAP ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends in the Company's Reinsurance Operations may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. This non-GAAP ratio should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.
Premiums
See “Result of Operations” above for a discussion on premiums.
Other Income
The Company recognized income of $0.3 million and a loss of less than $0.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and recognized a loss of less than $0.1 million and income of less of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Other income is comprised of foreign exchange gains and losses.
Loss Ratio
The current accident year loss ratio increased by 1.3 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The current accident year loss ratio increased for the property non-catastrophe business compared to the same period last year. Also, the increase in the total loss ratio reflects a mix of business shift to more casualty premium which has a higher expected loss ratio than property.
The current accident year loss ratio increased by 1.8 points during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in the property non-catastrophe loss ratio and the change in mix of business, as there is more casualty premium being written which has a higher expected loss ratio than property.
The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.7 percentage points, and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.6 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes an increase of $3.0 million, or 15.9 percentage points, and an increase of $2.9 million, or 8.6 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.
Expense Ratio
The expense ratio for the Company’s Reinsurance Operations increased by 0.3 points from 28.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to 29.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and increased by 1.7 points from 31.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 32.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to an increase in commission expense resulting from a change in business mix.
COVID-19
COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Reinsurance Operations’ business, financial condition, and results of operation.
Unallocated Corporate Items
The Company’s fixed income portfolio, excluding cash, continues to maintain high quality with an AA- average rating and a duration of 4.2 years.

Excludes realized gains and losses |
Gross investment income decreased by 113.6% and 59.6% for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease for the quarter and six months ended was primarily due to decreased returns from alternative investments which are booked on a one quarter lag due to the limited partnerships typically not reporting results until one to three months following the end of the reporting period.
Investment expenses decreased by 62.4% and 11.2% for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2019 due to including investment expenses related to mutual funds as a direct offset to investment income.
At June 30, 2020, the Company held agency mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $262.8 million. Excluding the agency mortgage-backed securities, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 4.8 years as of June 30, 2020, compared with 3.7 years as of June 30, 2019. Including cash and short-term investments, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio, excluding agency mortgage-backed securities, was 4.5 years as of June 30, 2020, compared with 3.5 years as of June 30, 2019. 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 2.5% as of June 30, 2020, compared to 3.0% as of June 30, 2019. The embedded book yield on the $64.3 million of municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio, which includes $63.8 million of taxable municipal bonds, was 3.1% at June 30, 2020, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.5% on the Company’s municipal bond portfolio of $40.9 million at June 30, 2019.

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, 2020 and 2019.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
Corporate and Other Operating Expenses
Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate and other operating expenses were $8.6 million and $4.6 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $12.8 million and $7.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees related to the proposed redomestication.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 6.5% and 4.8% during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to a reduction in the Fed Funds effective interest rate in March, 2020.
Income Tax Expense / Benefit
Income tax expense was $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared with an income tax expense of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to higher pre-tax income for the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.
Income tax benefit was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with an income tax expense of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily due to investment losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
See Note 7 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 $37.6 million and $14.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a net loss of $7.0 million and net income of $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
Global Indemnity is a holding company. Its principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its U.S. insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company; and its Reinsurance Operations: Global Indemnity Reinsurance.
Global Indemnity’s short term and long term liquidity needs include but are not limited to the payment of corporate expenses, debt service payments, dividend payments to shareholders, and share repurchases. In order to meet their short term and long term needs, the Company’s principal sources of cash includes dividends from subsidiaries, other permitted disbursements from its direct and indirect subsidiaries, reimbursement for equity awards granted to employees and intercompany borrowings. The principal sources of funds at these direct and indirect subsidiaries include underwriting operations, investment income, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments, capital contributions, intercompany borrowings, and dividends from subsidiaries. Funds are used principally by these operating subsidiaries to pay claims and operating expenses, to make debt payments, fund margin requirements on interest rate swap agreements, to purchase investments, and to make dividend payments. In addition, the Company periodically reviews opportunities related to business acquisitions and as a result, liquidity may be needed in the future.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company also had future funding commitments of $31.2 million related to investments. However, the related investments are currently in their harvest period and it is unlikely that a capital call will be made.
The future liquidity of Global Indemnity is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Global Indemnity’s U.S. insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval
67
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company within the Insurance Operations that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation - Statutory Accounting Principles” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes. See Note 18 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on dividend limitations related to the U.S. Insurance Companies. The U.S. Insurance Companies did not declare or pay any dividends during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Global Indemnity Reinsurance is prohibited, without the approval of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), from reducing by 15% or more its total statutory capital or 25% or more of its total statutory capital and surplus as set out in its previous year’s statutory financial statements, and any application for such approval must include such information as the BMA may require. See “Regulation—Bermuda Insurance Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In June, 2020, the Board of Directors of Global Indemnity Reinsurance declared and paid a dividend of $226 million to its parent company, Global Indemnity Limited.
Cash Flows
Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income. Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments. As a result of the dividend policy established in 2017, funds may also be used in the future to pay dividends to shareholders of Global Indemnity Limited.
The Company’s reconciliation of net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used for) operations is generally influenced by the following:
|
• |
the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commissions, in advance of losses paid; |
|
• |
the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and |
|
• |
the timing of the Company’s loss payments. |
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was $52.4 million and ($3.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows of approximately $55.5 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items:

Liquidity
COVID-19
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted by the cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premiums related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s
68
GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage which would negatively impact liquidity. In addition, the liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by the disruption experienced in global financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the fair value of the Company’s equity securities and derivative instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management is taking actions it considers prudent to minimize the impact on the Company’s liquidity. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, magnitude and geographic reach of COVID-19, the Company is regularly evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on its liquidity.
Dividends
During 2020, the Board of Directors approved a dividend payment of $0.25 per ordinary share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 24, 2020 and June 23, 2020. Dividends paid were $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Redemption of Debt
In July 2020, the Company notified the Trustee of the 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2045 (“2045 Notes”) that it has elected to redeem the entire $100 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2045 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2045 Notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date of August 15, 2020.
Other than the items discussed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. Please see Item 7 of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

Other than the items discussed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no material changes to the Company’s capital resources during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. Please see Item 7 of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s capital resources.

Item 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
For the quarter ending June 30, 2020, global equities rose approximately 18.8% with US equities leading the charge and erasing first quarter losses. Despite skyrocketing unemployment, widespread social unrest, and a rising number of COVID-19 cases, the U.S. economy has been supported by nearly $2.9 trillion in fiscal stimulus and the expansion of historically accommodative monetary policy.
The US fixed income market rose approximately 2.9% as spreads in nearly all sectors compressed. Many economic indicators have shown positive results of late but not to the point consistent enough to suggests a trend. The market will continue to focus on the massive amount of fiscal stimulus and monetary policy actions, but will need to monitor the scale of virus-driven shut downs and the volatility that may be introduced with the upcoming U.S. elections.
The Company’s investment grade fixed income portfolio continues to maintain high quality with an AA- average rating and a duration of 4.2 years. Portfolio purchases were focused within US Treasuries and MBS securities. These purchases were funded primarily through cash inflows, sales of CMBS, Asset Backed, and MBS securities, as well as maturities and paydowns. During the second quarter, the portfolio’s allocation to MBS, investment grade credit and US Treasuries increased, while the portfolio’s exposure to CMBS decreased. There have been no other material changes to the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2019. Please see Item 7A of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s market risk.
Item 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
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 risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of Part I in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020, as supplemented by the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2020 filed on May 8, 2020, and the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed July 23, 2020. The risk factors identified therein have not materially changed.
Item 2. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
The Company’s Share Incentive Plan allows employees to surrender the Company’s A ordinary shares as payment for the tax liability incurred upon the vesting of restricted stock. There were no shares surrendered by the Company’s employees during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. All A ordinary shares surrendered by the employees by the Company are held as treasury stock and recorded at cost until formally retired.
