Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Vericity, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Holding Company (Members) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, the Company completed the initial public offering of
On October 3, 2023, the Company, announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, iA American Holdings Inc. (“iA” or “Parent”), Long Grove Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for purposes of Section 6.03 and Article IX thereof, iA Financial Corporation, Inc. (“Guarantor”).
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The time that the Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “Effective Time.” The Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors.
Following execution of the Merger Agreement, Apex Holdco L.P. (the “Consenting Stockholder” or “Apex”) executed and delivered to the Company a written consent (the “Stockholder Written Consent”), adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
As a result of the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Written Consent, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have adopted the Merger Agreement. No further approval of the stockholders of the Company is required to adopt the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Company who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will, at the Effective Time, automatically be converted into the right to receive $
If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including: (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), and receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iii) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; and (iv) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants. Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations are also conditioned upon the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the absence of any burdensome condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) imposed by any regulators as part of the regulatory approval process.
On October 3, 2023, the Company issued a Form 8-K and press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Form 8-K is incorporated into this filing by reference. The Merger is expected to close in Q2, 2024.
The Company operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois‑domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non‑affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Basis of Presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates employed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the valuation of investments in fixed maturity, investment impairments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, future policy benefits and other policyholder liabilities.
Accounting Standards Adopted and Pending
There were no significant accounting changes in 2024 that had a material impact on the Company's GAAP-basis financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance requires that Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on a debt security will be recognized as an allowance going forward, such that improvements in expected future cash flows after an impairment will no longer be reflected as a prospective yield adjustment through net investment income, but rather a reversal of the previous impairment and recognized through net gains (losses) on investments. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosure. This ASU was issued to eliminate the troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance for creditors that have
Note 2 – Investments
The Company continuously monitors its investment strategies and individual holdings with consideration of current and projected market conditions, the composition of the Company’s liabilities, projected liquidity and capital investment needs, and compliance with investment policies and state regulatory guidelines.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity because they may require monthly principal installments and such loans may prepay principal.

Change in Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company regularly reviews its fixed income portfolio to identify and evaluate whether a security may require a credit loss allowance. For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets either of these criteria, any existing credit loss allowance would be written-off against the amortized cost basis of the asset along with any remaining unrealized losses, with incremental losses recorded in earnings. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to have a credit loss.
10
Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether a credit loss has occurred for a security. The Company has developed a consistent methodology and has identified significant inputs for determining whether a credit loss has occurred. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is a credit loss are the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, payment status, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, credit ratings of the securities, and the duration and severity of the decline.
The credit loss component of fixed maturity impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The credit loss component of a fixed maturity security impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity security, a credit loss allowance is recorded in earnings for the shortfall in expected cash flows; however, the amortized cost, net of the credit loss allowance, may not be lower than the fair value of the security. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income.
The measurement of credit losses for available-for-sale fixed income securities measured at fair value is not affected except that credit losses recognized are limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost and the credit loss adjustment is recognized through an allowance which may change over time but once recorded cannot subsequently be reduced to an amount below zero.
A roll-forward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturities are as follows:

Future Policy Benefits
Future policy benefits represent the reserve for direct and assumed traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status.
The annuities in payout status are certain structured settlement contracts. The policy liability for structured settlement contracts of $

Note 4 – Reinsurance
The Company uses reinsurance to mitigate exposure to potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, and provide greater diversity of business. For ceded reinsurance, the Company remains liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To manage the risk from failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations, the Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of all of its reinsurers. The reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for credit losses. We have recorded claim amounts anticipated to be uncollectible of $

Note 5 – Closed Block
The Closed Block was formed at October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at the inception of the Closed Block. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI).
In October 2011, the IDOI approved a reversion of a portion of the initial funding that the Company had determined was not required to fund the Closed Block. The carrying value of the assets transferred from the Closed Block on October 31, 2011, the date of transfer, was $

The assets and liabilities within the Closed Block are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other accounts of the Company. The maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $
The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block, which is referred to as the actuarial calculation. The actuarial calculation projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the actuarial calculation as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the course of our business. Management does not believe such litigation will have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be reasonably possible but not probable or, is probable but not reasonably able to be estimated, no accrual is established, but the matter, if material, is disclosed. The Company is not aware of any material legal or regulatory matters threatened or pending against the Company.

Note 7 – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company attempts to establish fair value as an exit price consistent with transactions taking place under normal market conventions. The Company utilizes market observable information to the extent possible and seeks to obtain quoted market prices for all securities. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company uses a number of methodologies to establish fair value estimates including discounted cash flow models, prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, or broker/dealer quotes.
Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Management reviews on an ongoing basis the reasonableness of the methodologies used by the pricing services to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. The main procedure the Company employs in fulfillment of this objective includes back-testing transactions, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates.
The Company’s assets and liabilities have been classified into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Level 1 and Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company can access. Level 1 assets include securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
Level 2 – This level includes fixed maturities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments on inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid assets for which significant inputs are unobservable in the market, such as structured securities with complex features that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
Certain assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, intangible assets, future policy benefits excluding term life reserves and policyholder account balances. Accordingly, such items are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the items are subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition (for example, when there is evidence of impairment) and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date.
Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Summary of Significant Valuation Techniques for Assets on a Recurring Basis
Level 1 securities include principally exchange‑traded funds that are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets.
Level 2 securities are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. All of the Company’s prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type and region of the world, based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type and region. For fixed maturities that do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications which incorporate a variety of inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, and U.S. Treasury curves. Specifically, for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Securities with validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they generally are based on observable pricing for similar assets or other market significant observable inputs.
18
Level 3 fair value classification consists of investments in securities where the fair value of the security is determined by a pricing service using internal pricing models where one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable in the marketplace, or there is a single broker/dealer quote. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant. The fair value of Level 3 liabilities is estimated on the discounted cash flows of contractual payments.
If the Company believes the pricing information received from third-party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. Historically, the Company has not challenged or updated the prices provided by third-party pricing services. However, any such updates by a pricing service to be more consistent with the presented market observations, or any adjustments made by the Company to prices provided by third-party pricing services would be reflected in the balance sheet for the current period.
When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the period and are based on observable inputs received from pricing sources; therefore, all net realized and unrealized gains and losses on these securities for the period are reflected in the table that follows.

The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude cash and cash equivalents and accrued investment income, that are not securities and therefore are not included in the three-level hierarchy table disclosed in the “Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements” section.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities.
Mortgage Loans — Fair value was based on the discounted value of future cash flows for all first mortgage loans adjusted for specific loan risk. The discount rate was based on the rate that would be offered for similar loans at the reporting date. Fair value excludes $
Policyholder Loans — Fair value of policyholder loans was estimated using discounted cash flows using risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash value of the underlying insurance policy.
Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances — Liabilities with interest rate guarantees greater than one year or with defined maturities, the fair value was estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk‑free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. Certain non-interest sensitive reserves are at carrying value, which approximates fair value.
Long and Short-Term Debt — Fair value was calculated using the discounted value of future cash flows method. The discount rate was based on the rate that is commensurable to the level of risk. The carrying amounts reported on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been divided into short and long-term based upon expected maturity dates.

Note 10 – Business Segments
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker makes decisions by analyzing our segment information. For internal decision-making purposes and external reporting purposes, we do not disaggregate revenue beyond our segment information and believe that any further disaggregation is immaterial. The Company’s current operations were organized into
The Insurance Segment is composed of three broad lines consisting of Traditional Life, Closed Block, and Assumed Life and Annuities. Traditional Life and the Closed Block are distinct operations; the Assumed life and annuities business and the small amount of structured settlements are all blocks in runoff from a prior management arrangement.
The Agency Segment includes the insurance distribution operations of the Company and includes commission revenue from the sale of Fidelity Life products.
The Corporate & Other Segment includes expenses that will benefit the overall organization, which are not allocated to a segment. This segment recognizes net investment income on cash and invested assets held mainly as a result of the IPO and transaction expenses related to our recently announced merger transaction and interest expense on the commission financing agreement.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including any profit or loss from the sale of Insurance Segment products through the Agency Segment.
The segment results are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements that are intended to enhance the reader’s ability to assess our future financial and business performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and contain words and phrases such as “may,” “expects,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions. In addition, statements that refer to our future financial performance, anticipated growth and trends in our business and in our industry and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different.
Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and do not undertake, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
The forward-looking statements include, among other things, those items listed below:
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis and set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitutes forward looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. You should review “Forward Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Overview
We provide life insurance protection targeted to the middle American market. We believe there is a substantial unmet need for life insurance, particularly among domestirc households with annual incomes of between $50,000 and $125,000, a market we refer to as our target Middle Market. We differentiate our product and service offerings through innovative product design and sales processes, with an emphasis on rapidly issued products that are not medically underwritten at the time of sale.
We conduct our business through our two operating subsidiaries, Fidelity Life, an Illinois-domiciled life insurance company, and Efinancial, a call center-based insurance agency. Efinancial sells Fidelity Life products through its own call center distribution platform, independent agents and other marketing organizations. Efinancial, in addition to offering Fidelity Life products, sells insurance products of unaffiliated carriers. We report our operating results in three segments: Agency, Insurance and Corporate & Other.
COVID-19
The stress and disruption placed on the global economy and financial markets from the outbreak of COVID-19 may continue to have near and long-term negative effects on investment valuations, returns, and credit allowance exposure. The Company will continue to closely monitor the situation, including potential negative impacts on sales of new policies and mortality; however, due to the highly uncertain nature of these conditions, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of COVID-19 or its impact to the Company’s operations, but the effect could be material.
War in Ukraine and Israel
The Company believes the wars in Ukraine and in and around Israel do not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company at March 31, 2024.
National Service Group of AmeriLife, LLC
In the second quarter 2020, Fidelity Life entered into a General Agent’s agreement with an unaffiliated third party, National Service Group of AmeriLife, LLC (“AmeriLife”). The President of this entity, Scott Perry also sits on the Company’s Board of Directors. This agreement provides Fidelity Life access to AmeriLife distribution channels, its commission systems and assists in streamlining administrative processes related to commissions. This agreement also allows Efinancial to operate as a sub agent to AmeriLife. On May 15, 2020, the Company began selling products using this new distribution arrangement. Due to the large amount of the Company’s insurance policies now being sold through AmeriLife, dissolution of this agency arrangement could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has additional arrangements with AmeriLife wherein Efinancial’s sub agents may sell third party products through AmeriLife. To date it is not believed that any of these arrangements will exceed the related party thresholds described in 17 CFR § 229.404. Should these or other arrangements change or exceed the aforementioned threshold, after review by the CFO and General Counsel, the Company’s Chairman will be advised and written sign-off will be required from the Company's Chairman.
Agency Segment
This segment primarily consists of the operations of Efinancial. Efinancial is a call center-based insurance agency that markets life insurance for Fidelity Life and unaffiliated insurance companies. Efinancial’s primary operations are conducted through employee agents from three call center locations, which we refer to as our retail channel. In addition, Efinancial operates as a wholesale agency, assisting independent agents that seek to produce business for the carriers that Efinancial represents, which we refer to as our wholesale channel. The Agency Segment’s main source of revenue is commissions earned on the sale of insurance policies sold through our retail and wholesale channels. Efinancial also generates data and click-through revenue (reported as part of Insurance Lead Sales on the related Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) through its eCoverage web presence.
Agency Segment expenses consist of marketing costs to acquire potential customers, salary and bonuses paid to our employee agents, salary and other costs of employees involved in managing the underwriting process for our insurance applications, sales management, agent licensing, training and compliance costs. Other Agency Segment expenses include costs associated with financial and administrative employees, facilities rent, and information technology. After payroll, the most significant Agency Segment expense is the cost of acquiring leads. We partially offset our sales leads expense through advertising revenues from individuals who click on specific advertisements while viewing one of our web pages, and through the resale of leads that are not well suited for our call center.
Insurance Segment
This segment consists of the operations of Fidelity Life. Fidelity Life underwrites primarily term life insurance through Efinancial and a diverse group of independent insurance distributors. Fidelity Life specializes in life insurance products that can be issued immediately or within a short period following a sales call, using non-medical underwriting at the time of policy issuance.
25
Fidelity Life engages in the following business lines:
Core Life - Our Core Life insurance business is the primary business of the Insurance Segment. Core Life represents a significant portion of the insurance business written by Fidelity Life since it resumed independent operations in 2005. Our Core Life business consists of inforce policies that are considered to be of high strategic importance to Fidelity Life.
Non Core Life - Our Non Core Life business consists of: products that are currently being marketed but are not deemed to be of high strategic importance to the Company inforce policies from product lines introduced since Fidelity Life resumed independent operations in 2005 but were subsequently discontinued and an older annuity block of business that was not included in the Closed Block.
Closed Block - Our Closed Block represents all inforce participating insurance policies of Fidelity Life. The Closed Block was established in connection with our 2007 reorganization into a mutual holding company structure.
Annuities and Assumed Life - We have assumed reinsurance commitments with respect to annuity contract holder deposits and a block of life insurance contracts that were ceded by former affiliates of Fidelity Life. Under an agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company (Protective Life), the successor to a former affiliate of Fidelity Life, Fidelity Life had assumed a portion of risk on a group of life insurance contracts primarily written in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Insurance Segment revenues consist of net insurance premiums, net investment income, and net realized gains (losses) on investments. We recognize premium revenue from our policyholders. We purchase reinsurance coverage to help manage the risk on our insurance policies by paying, or ceding, a portion of the policyholder premiums to the reinsurance company. Our net insurance premiums reflect amounts collected from policyholders, plus premiums assumed under reinsurance agreements less premiums ceded to reinsurance companies. Net investment income represents primarily interest income earned on fixed maturity investments. We also realize gains and losses on sales of investment securities.
Insurance Segment expenses consist of benefits paid to policyholders or their beneficiaries under life insurance policies. Benefit expenses also include additions to the reserve for future policyholder benefits to recognize our estimated future obligations under the policies. Benefit expenses are shown net of amounts ceded under our reinsurance contracts. Our Insurance Segment also incurs policy acquisition costs that consist of commissions paid to agents, policy underwriting, issue costs and variable sales costs. A portion of these policy acquisition costs are deferred and expensed over the life of the insurance policies acquired during the period. In addition to policy acquisition costs, we incur expenses that vary based on the number of contracts that we have in-force, or variable policy administrative costs. These variable costs consist of expenses paid to third-party administrators based on rates for each policy administered. Our insurance operations also incur overhead costs for functional and administrative staff to support insurance operations, financial reporting and information technology.
Corporate & Other Segment
The results of this segment consist of net investment income and net gains (losses) on investments earned on invested assets. We also include certain corporate expenses, including severance costs that are not allocated to our other segments, including expenses of Vericity, Inc., board of director's expenses, allocation of executive management time spent on corporate matters, and financial reporting and auditing costs related to our consolidation and internal controls. Our Corporate & Other Segment recognizes income (loss) to the extent that net investment income and net gains (losses) on investments exceed (are less than) corporate expenses.
Included in the Corporate & Other Segment is the elimination of intercompany transactions which primarily consists of the sales by our Agency Segment of life products of our Insurance Segment. The eliminations represent the amounts required to eliminate the intercompany transactions as recorded in our segment results, and in particular, to eliminate any intersegment profits resulting from such transactions. Our segment results follow the accounting principles and methods applicable to each segment as if the intercompany transactions were with unaffiliated organizations: See "Corporate & Other" segment results included in this Management Discussion & Analysis for further discussion.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Form 10-K. The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, market indicators and other relevant factors and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may affect our financial position and results of operations. Accordingly, these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K.

Total Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total revenues were $45.5 million compared to $44.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase of $0.9 million resulted primarily from an increase in earned commissions, other income, insurance lead sales, partially offset by a decrease in net insurance premiums and net investment income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total benefits and expenses were $51.7 million compared to $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase of $5.2 million is driven by higher operating expenses and claim benefits.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loss before taxes was $6.2 million compared to net loss before taxes of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in net loss of $4.3 million was primarily due to lower net insurance premiums and higher operating expenses and higher claim benefits, partially offset by an increase from earned commissions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, earned commissions were $16.8 million compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase of $1.7 million resulted from increased sales in the retail channel.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Net Insurance Premiums
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net insurance premiums were $22.6 million compared to $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease of $1.7 million in net insurance premiums was attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million related to the LifeTime Benefit term product.
Other Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other income increased to $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $0.1 million increase was mainly due to our licensing arrangement on our patented LifeTime Benefit term product.
Life, Annuity and Health Claim Benefits
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, life, annuity and health claim benefits were $17.9 million compared with $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase of $1.5 million was primarily due to our Non Core lines of $1.4 million and our Core lines of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in Closed Block of $0.5 million.
Operating Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating costs and expenses were $8.2 million compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $0.5 million increase was primarily due to increased staff costs.
Amortization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $3.7 million compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease of $0.1 million is primarily related to a decrease of $0.3 million in Closed Block and an increase in Non core of $0.2 million and Core of $0.1 million.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loss was $3.7 million compared to net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in net loss of $3.9 million resulted primarily from a decrease in net insurance premiums of $1.7 million, increased claim benefits of $1.5 million, and higher operating costs and expenses of $0.5 million.
Closed Block
The Closed Block was formed as of October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at inception. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future adverse experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, it is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the IDOI.
The maximum future earnings to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are $11.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience.
The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block which is referred to as the “glide path.” The glide path model projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the glide path as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block policies and the investment experience of the Closed Block assets. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. See “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Net (Losses) Gains on Investments
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net losses on investments was zero compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net loss is attributable to market value losses on other invested assets held in the Corporate segment during 2023.
Earned Commissions
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, earned commissions were zero compared to ($0.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change is attributable to no intersegment earned commissions in the Corporate and Other segment.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses were $1.5 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease of $0.1 million is attributable to a decrease in staff costs.
(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loss decreased $1.4 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decreased loss is primarily due to no earned commissions and a decrease in operating costs and expenses.
Investments
Investment Returns
We invest available cash and funds that support our regulatory capital, surplus requirements and policy reserves in investment securities that are included in the Insurance and Corporate & Other Segments. We earn income on these investments in the form of interest on fixed maturities (bonds and mortgage loans) and dividends (equity holdings). Net investment income is recorded as revenue, net of investment related expenses. The amount of net investment income that we recognize will vary depending on the amount of invested assets that we own, the types of investments, the interest rates earned, and amount of dividends received on our investments.
Gains and losses on sales of investments are classified as “realized investment gains (losses)” and are recorded as revenue. Capital appreciation and depreciation caused by changes in the market value of investments classified as “available-for-sale” is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amount of investment gains and losses that we recognize depends on the amount of and the types of invested assets we own, and the market conditions related to those investments. Our cash needs can vary from time to time and could require that we sell invested assets to fund cash needs.
Investment Guidelines
Our investment strategy and guidelines are developed by management and approved by the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. Our investment strategy related to the Insurance Segment is designed to maintain a well-diversified, high quality fixed income portfolio that will provide adequate levels of net investment income and liquidity to meet our policyholder
30
obligations under our life insurance policies and our assumed annuity deposits. To help maintain liquidity, we establish the duration of invested assets within a tolerance to the policy liability duration. The investments of the Insurance Segment are managed with an emphasis on current income within quality and diversification constraints. The focus is on book yield of the fixed income portfolio as the anticipated portfolio yield is a key element used in pricing our insurance products and establishing policyholder crediting rates on our annuity contracts.
We apply our overall investment strategy and guidelines on a consolidated basis for purposes of monitoring compliance with our overall guidelines. All of our investments are owned by Fidelity Life and are maintained in compliance with insurance regulations. Critical guidelines of our investment plan include:
Our investment portfolios are all managed by third-party investment managers that specialize in insurance company asset management. These managers are selected based upon their expertise in the particular asset classes that we own. We contract with an investment management firm to provide overall assistance with oversight of our portfolio managers, evaluation of investment performance and assistance with development and implementation of our investment strategy. This investment management firm reports to our Chief Financial Officer and to the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances require, we review the performance of all portfolios and portfolio managers with the Investment Committee.
The following table shows the distribution of the fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale by quality rating using the rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. For securities where the S&P rating is not available (not rated), the NAIC rating is used. Over the periods presented, we have maintained a consistent weighted average bond quality rating of “A.” The percentage allocation of total investment grade securities was 96.2% and 96.0% at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Every quarter, we review all investments where the market value is less than the carrying value to ascertain if the impairment of the security’s value has credit losses. The quarterly review is targeted to focus on securities with larger impairments and that have been in an impaired status for longer periods of time. See “Note 2 – Investments” in the accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Net Investment Income
One key measure of our net investment income is the book yield on our holdings of fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale. Fair value of these securities totaled $301.5 million and $313.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Book yield is the effective interest rate, before investment expenses, that we earn on these investments. Book yield is calculated as the percent of net investment income to the average amortized cost of the underlying investments for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our book yield on fixed maturities available-for-sale was 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively. See “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Interest Credited to Policyholder Account Balances
Included with the future policy benefits is the liability for contract holder deposits on deferred annuity contracts assumed through two reinsurance agreements effective in 1991 and 1992 and certain other policy funds left on deposit with the Company. The aggregate liability for deposits is as follows:

The liability for deferred annuity deposits represents the contract holder account balances. Due to the declines in market interest rates and the book yield on our investment portfolio, we credit interest on all contract holder deposit liabilities at contractual rates that are currently at the minimum rate allowed by the contract or by state regulations.
Our Insurance Segment realizes operating profit from the excess of our book yield realized on fixed maturities that support our contract holder deposits over the amount of interest that we credit to the contract holder. We refer to this operating profit as the “spread” we earn on contract holder deposits. If book yields decline further, the amount of spread between the interest earned and credited will be reduced.
Net Gains (Losses) on Investments
Net gains (losses) on investments are subject to general economic trends and generally correlate with movements in major market indexes. The amounts classified as net realized gains (losses) in our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include amounts realized from sales of investments, mark-to-market adjustments and allowances for credit loss of individual securities related to credit impairment. See “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
32
Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)
The Company records capital appreciation/depreciation on the available-for-sale fixed maturities. At March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), from mark-to-market adjustments of our available-for-sale fixed income securities, net of federal income taxes and reserves was ($1.5) million and $6.3 million, respectively. See “Note 9 – Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
At March 31, 2024 our fixed maturity securities had an unrealized loss of $24.7 million compared to an unrealized loss of $22.8 million at December 31, 2023. The Company’s unrealized loss incurred in 2024 was $2.0 million in our fixed maturities portfolio, which has a duration of 7.0 years, convexity of 0.787, and current yield of 5.6%, is primarily accounted for by the increase in the 10-year treasury bill yield for the first three months of 2024 of 32 basis points, partially offset by compressed credit spreads during the same period.
Financial Position
At March 31, 2024, we had total assets of $827.3 million compared to total assets at December 31, 2023 of $822.8 million, an increase of $4.5 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.7 million, which is attributable to cash inflows from investing activities, offset by cash outflows from operating and financing activities. See Cash Flows section for further discussion on changes in cash. Commission and agent balances increased $4.8 million due to increased commission advanced in the Insurance segment. Other assets increased $1.8 million, primarily due to unsettled trades of fixed maturities. Reinsurance recoverables increased $1.6 million as a result of a $4.5 million increase in ceded policy and claim reserves, offset by a $2.9 million decrease related to the timing of reinsured claim settlements. Deferred policy acquisition costs increased $1.1 million, resulting from deferrals of new business of $4.8 million and amortization of $3.8 million. Deferred income tax assets increased $1.0 million due to a tax credit of $0.7 million and an increase of $0.3 million as a result of a deferred tax on increased unrealized investment gains. The above increases were partially offset by a decrease in the invested asset base of $11.7 million, mainly due to $9.3 million in net sales along with an increase in net unrealized losses of $2.0 million in our fixed maturities portfolio.
At March 31, 2024, we had total liabilities of $724.1 million compared to total liabilities of $712.6 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $11.5 million. Future policy benefits and claims increased $10.0 million, primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in Core Life and Non Core Life lines, resulting from growth of the underlying blocks of business, partially offset by decreases in Annuities and assumed life of $0.3 million and Closed Block of $0.2 million. Reinsurance liabilities and payables increased $5.8 million, primarily due to timing of reinsurance settlements. Debt increased $2.2 million related to an increase in short-term debt of $3.7 million offset by a decrease in $1.5 million in long-term debt. The above increases were partially offset by decreases in Other liabilities of $4.5 million and a $1.3 million decrease in Policyholder account balances, largely due to annuity payments.
At March 31, 2024, total equity decreased to $103.2 million from $110.2 million at December 31, 2023. This decrease in equity of $7.0 million primarily consists of a net loss of $5.5 million and a decrease of $1.5 million in other comprehensive income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds are from premium revenues, commission revenues, net investment income and proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments and net borrowings. The Company’s primary uses of funds are for payment of life, annuity and health claim benefits, contract holder withdrawals on assumed annuity contracts, new business acquisition costs for our insurance operations (i.e., commissions, underwriting and issue costs), cost of sales for Agency operations (i.e., agent compensation, purchased lead and lead generation costs), operating costs and expenses and purchases of investments. Our investment portfolio is structured to provide funds periodically over time, through net investment income and maturities, for the payment of policy benefits and contract holder withdrawals.
Under our commission financing arrangement with Hannover Life, which ended on January 1, 2024, Fidelity Life was able to pay level annual commissions instead of first year only commissions to Efinancial for sales of RAPIDecision® Life policies and Hannover Life advanced to Efinancial amounts approximately equal to first year only commissions for sales of those policies. This arrangement reduces Fidelity Life’s surplus strain associated with issuing RAPIDecision® Life business while helping to provide liquidity for Efinancial through the receipt of larger first year only commissions. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had net advances of $36.6 million and $40.4 million, respectively, under this arrangement.
We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC). As a member, we are able to borrow on a collateralized basis from the FHLBC. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $270 and $270 of FHLBC common stock, which is included in Other invested assets, respectively. The Company's ability to borrow under this facility is subject to the FHLBC's discretion and requires the availability of qualifying assets. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by the FHLBC based on the interest rate option selected at the time of the borrowing. The Company borrowed $5.3 million and $21 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
33
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had a net increase in cash of $5.7 million compared to a net decrease of $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily due to timing related to both reinsurance recoverables settlements and payments of reinsurance liabilities.
Cash flows from investing activities mainly includes our fixed maturities and mortgage loans. Period to period, the cash flows associated with the changes in these portfolios will vary between cash sources and cash uses depending on the need for cash or the excess of cash from operating activities, as well as portfolio trading due to investment market conditions. In the first three months of 2024, cash of $7.5 million was provided by investing activities and includes $9.3 million of investment sales and maturities net of purchases, primarily in the fixed maturities portfolio, partially offset by $1.7 million of capitalized software.
Cash flows used financing activities were $0.4 million which includes $2.0 million in cash withdrawals, net of deposits, by contract holders of annuities that were primarily written in the late 1980s, partially offset by $1.5 million net proceeds comprised of our borrowings from the FHLBC less net payments under from our commission financing program.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All applicable adopted accounting pronouncements have been reflected in our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. These matters often raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues; differences or developments in applicable laws and judicial interpretations; class certification issues; judges reconsidering prior rulings; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement, through litigation, or otherwise.
The outcome of these matters may be affected by many factors included but not limited to decisions, verdicts, and settlements in other individual and class action lawsuits that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities and/or by other legal, governmental, and regulatory actions that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities.
While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such legal proceedings, in light of known facts, current issues under consideration via motions to dismiss or otherwise, existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, we believe that there is no individual or class action case pending against the Company that is currently likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Cybersecurity
Vericity maintains a dedicated Cybersecurity Department with a mission to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems, identity systems, and data assets to help our company remain a trusted and secure brand by accelerating risk reduction in a way that lines up with business goals and constraints on budget and resources.
The cybersecurity framework is in alignment with corporate governance programs and regulatory requirements such as the following:
Enterprise Risk Management led by the Legal Department
SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Program, and IDOI compliance led by Internal Audit
Privacy and GLBA Compliance led by the Privacy and Compliance Teams.
The Cybersecurity Department uses the Center for Internet Security Controls as a base to safeguard our company and the team focuses on Data Protection and Compliance. The Cybersecurity Department establishes, implements and tests multiple policies, principles, standards and guidelines including, but not limited to, Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, Disaster Recovery Plan, Access Review, Application Security, Cloud Security, Data Loss Prevention, Email Security, Endpoint Security, Penetration Testing, Privilege Management, Risk Assessments, Risk Identification, Security Awareness Training and Vulnerability Management.
35
We also use various tools to help manage our overall program including third party threat detection, email filtering, security training, penetration testing and other tools typically associated with protecting company data.
With a more than 20 years of experience in the information technology field, the team is led by our Director of Cybersecurity who in turn reports directly to Vericity’s Chief Information Officer. Vericity’s Board of Directors oversees cybersecurity risk management and delegates oversight of our information security program to our executive officers and our Chief Information Officer reports quarterly to our Board of Directors. Vericity’s partially outsourced internal audit team reports to Vericity’s Audit Committee on Cybersecurity testing and the program itself.
Like most companies, our systems are exposed to cybersecurity threats on a regular basis and our efforts may be insufficient to prevent or defend against incidents or an attack. We, and certain of our third-party vendors, have experienced attacks and incidents in the past, and there can be no assurance that we, or any vendor, will be successful in preventing future attacks or incidents or detecting and stopping them once they have begun. Through the date hereof, risks from cybersecurity threats, including prior incidents and attacks, have not materially affected, and we do not believe are reasonably likely to materially affect, our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, we cannot guarantee that we will not be materially affected in the future. Cybersecurity risks rapidly evolve and are complex, so we must continually adapt and enhance our processes and defenses. As we do this, we must make judgments about where to invest resources to most effectively protect ourselves from cybersecurity risks. These are inherently challenging processes, and we can provide no assurance that processes and defenses that we implement will be effective.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Vericity, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Holding Company (Members) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, the Company completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual Holding Company from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by the Company of all of the capital stock of Members following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, the Company became the holding company for converted Members Mutual Holding Company and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial). On October 3, 2023, the Company, announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, iA American Holdings Inc. (“iA” or “Parent”), Long Grove Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for purposes of Section 6.03 and Article IX thereof, iA Financial Corporation, Inc. (“Guarantor”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The time that the Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “Effective Time.” The Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors. Following execution of the Merger Agreement, Apex Holdco L.P. (the “Consenting Stockholder” or “Apex”) executed and delivered to the Company a written consent (the “Stockholder Written Consent”), adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. As a result of the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Written Consent, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have adopted the Merger Agreement. No further approval of the stockholders of the Company is required to adopt the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Company who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will, at the Effective Time, automatically be converted into the right to receive $11.43 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). The aggregate equity value of the Common Stock acquired by Parent will be approximately $170 million. If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including: (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), and receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iii) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; and (iv) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants. Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations are also conditioned upon the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the absence of any burdensome condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) imposed by any regulators as part of the regulatory approval process. On October 3, 2023, the Company issued a Form 8-K and press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Form 8-K is incorporated into this filing by reference. The Merger is expected to close in Q2, 2024. The Company operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois‑domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non‑affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Basis of Presentation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of interim condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates employed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the valuation of investments in fixed maturity, investment impairments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, future policy benefits and other policyholder liabilities.
Accounting Standards Adopted and Pending There were no significant accounting changes in 2024 that had a material impact on the Company's GAAP-basis financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance requires that Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on a debt security will be recognized as an allowance going forward, such that improvements in expected future cash flows after an impairment will no longer be reflected as a prospective yield adjustment through net investment income, but rather a reversal of the previous impairment and recognized through net gains (losses) on investments. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosure. This ASU was issued to eliminate the troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance for creditors that have adopted the current expected credit loss guidance while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company has assessed the impact of ASU 2016-13 and has established an additional for credit losses on our mortgage portfolio of $237. The tax effected amount of $187 is reflected as a beginning of year equity as a Cumulative effect adjustment from changes in accounting guidance, net of tax. The Company has also assessed fixed maturities - available-for-sale, reinsurance recoverables and commissions and agent balances and determined no additional allowance for credit losses is needed. We also adopted the required disclosures within Note 2 Investments, Note 4 Reinsurance, Note 9 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Note 10 Business Segments. Due to the adoption of the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments accounting standard, prior change in valuation allowance is now presented as a change in allowance for credit losses |

Investments | Note 2 – Investments The Company continuously monitors its investment strategies and individual holdings with consideration of current and projected market conditions, the composition of the Company’s liabilities, projected liquidity and capital investment needs, and compliance with investment policies and state regulatory guidelines. Fixed Maturities The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, fair value, and net of allowances for credit losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of fixed maturities available-for-sale are as follows:
Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity because they may require monthly principal installments and such loans may prepay principal. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities available-for-sale by contractual maturity, are presented in the following table:
Fixed maturities with a carrying value of $2,610 and $2,689 were on s, as required by law at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was primarily composed of investment grade securities, defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa from Moody’s, AAA, AA, A, or BBB from Standard & Poor’s, or National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2. Investment grade securities comprised 96.2% and 96.0% of the Company’s total fixed maturities portfolio at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had commitments to make investments in available-for-sale securities in the amount of $411 and $0, respectively. Mortgage Loans The Company makes investments in commercial mortgage loans. The Company, along with other investors, owns a pro rata share of each loan. The Company participates in 33 such investment instruments with ownership shares ranging from 0.6% to 30.0% of the trust at March 31, 2024. The Company owns a share of 307 mortgage loans with an average loan balance of $130 and a maximum exposure related to any single loan of $600. Mortgage loan holdings are diversified by geography and property type as follows:
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, $0 and $144 of new mortgage loans were purchased, respectively, which did not include second lien mortgage loans. There were no taxes, assessments, or any amounts advanced that were not included in the mortgage loan balances at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no mortgage loans that were in a restructured status, respectively. There were no impairments for mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The changes in the allowances for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans were as follows:
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no mortgage loans that were on non-accrual status. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had commitments to make investments in mortgage loans in the amount of $3,828 and $3,734, respectively. Net Investment Income The sources of net investment income are as follows:
Investment expenses include investment management fees, some of which include incentives based on market performance, custodial fees and internal costs for investment-related activities. Net Investment (Losses) Gains The sources of net investment gains (losses) are as follows:
Change in Allowance for Credit Losses The Company regularly reviews its fixed income portfolio to identify and evaluate whether a security may require a credit loss allowance. For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets either of these criteria, any existing credit loss allowance would be written-off against the amortized cost basis of the asset along with any remaining unrealized losses, with incremental losses recorded in earnings. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to have a credit loss. Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether a credit loss has occurred for a security. The Company has developed a consistent methodology and has identified significant inputs for determining whether a credit loss has occurred. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is a credit loss are the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, payment status, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, credit ratings of the securities, and the duration and severity of the decline. The credit loss component of fixed maturity impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The credit loss component of a fixed maturity security impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity security, a credit loss allowance is recorded in earnings for the shortfall in expected cash flows; however, the amortized cost, net of the credit loss allowance, may not be lower than the fair value of the security. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income. The measurement of credit losses for available-for-sale fixed income securities measured at fair value is not affected except that credit losses recognized are limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost and the credit loss adjustment is recognized through an allowance which may change over time but once recorded cannot subsequently be reduced to an amount below zero. A roll-forward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturities are as follows:
Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturities The Company’s fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturities available-for-sale, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position are as follows:
The indicated gross unrealized losses in all fixed maturity categories increased to $27,394 from $26,476 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Based on the Company’s current evaluation of its fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, in accordance with our impairment policy and the Company’s current intentions to hold these securities, the Company concluded that these securities do not have credit losses. Information and concentrations related to fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position are included below. The tables below include fixed maturities and number of securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than and less than 12 months and the percentage that were investment grade at March 31, 2024.
(1) Below investment grade fixed income securities include $108 that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. (2) Related to securities with an unrealized loss position less than 20% of amortized cost, net, the degree of which suggests that these securities do not pose a high risk of having credit losses. (3) Below investment grade fixed income securities include $756 that have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve or more consecutive months. (4) Evaluated based on factors such as discounted cash flows and the financial condition and near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer and were determined to have adequate resources to fulfill contractual obligations. |

Policy Liabilities | Note 3 – Policy Liabilities Future Policy Benefits Future policy benefits represent the reserve for direct and assumed traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status. The annuities in payout status are certain structured settlement contracts. The policy liability for structured settlement contracts of $12,400 and $12,665 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is computed as the present value of contractually specified future benefits. The amounts included in the policy liability for structured settlements that are life contingent at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is $9,850 and $10,014, respectively. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed maturities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, a premium deficiency reserve is recorded. A liability of $429 and $629 is included as part of the liability for structured settlements with respect to this deficiency at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized capital gains included in AOCI. Participating life insurance in-force was 2.3% and 2.3% of the face value of total life insurance at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. |

Reinsurance | Note 4 – Reinsurance The Company uses reinsurance to mitigate exposure to potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, and provide greater diversity of business. For ceded reinsurance, the Company remains liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To manage the risk from failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations, the Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of all of its reinsurers. The reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for credit losses. We have recorded claim amounts anticipated to be uncollectible of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2023. On July 18, 2023, the Liquidation Order of Scottish Re was approved by the Delaware Court specifying the effective date of the liquidation as September 30, 2023. The Liquidation Order specifies that all reinsurance agreements of Scottish Re are cancelled effective September 30, 2023. Accordingly, ceded future policy benefits of $657 were taken down as of the effective date of the order. Amounts recoverable on paid claims of $1.4 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively have been evaluated for any further credit losses and all amounts recorded are expected to be collectible. Reinsurance recoverables are as follows:
The reconciliation of direct premiums to net premiums is as follows:
The reconciliation of direct, assumed and ceded amounts for life, annuity, and health claim benefits is as follows:
Net policy charges on universal life products were $47 and $47 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and are included in other income. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, reserves related to fixed‑rate annuity deposits assumed from a former affiliate company amounted to approximately $61,416 and $62,665, respectively, and are included with policyholder account balances in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Closed Block | Note 5 – Closed Block The Closed Block was formed at October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at the inception of the Closed Block. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI). In October 2011, the IDOI approved a reversion of a portion of the initial funding that the Company had determined was not required to fund the Closed Block. The carrying value of the assets transferred from the Closed Block on October 31, 2011, the date of transfer, was $4,397. The assets and liabilities within the Closed Block are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other accounts of the Company. The maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $11,236 and $11,143 of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience, respectively. The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block, which is referred to as the actuarial calculation. The actuarial calculation projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the actuarial calculation as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $9,783 and $9,636, respectively, resulting from the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings and from accumulated net unrealized investment gains (losses) that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block.
Information regarding the Closed Block liabilities (assets) designated to the Closed Block is as follows:
Information regarding the Closed Block revenues and expenses is as follows:
The Company charges the Closed Block with federal income taxes and state and local premium taxes, policy maintenance costs and investment management expenses relating to the Closed Block as provided in the Closed Block Memorandum.
The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of the Closed Block fixed maturities portfolio by contractual maturity at March 31, 2024. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties:

The Company attempts to establish fair value as an exit price consistent with transactions taking place under normal market conventions. The Company utilizes market observable information to the extent possible and seeks to obtain quoted market prices for all securities. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company uses a number of methodologies to establish fair value estimates including discounted cash flow models, prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, or broker/dealer quotes. Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Management reviews on an ongoing basis the reasonableness of the methodologies used by the pricing services to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. The main procedure the Company employs in fulfillment of this objective includes back-testing transactions, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates. The Company’s assets and liabilities have been classified into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Level 1 and Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company can access. Level 1 assets include securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Level 2 – This level includes fixed maturities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments on inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid assets for which significant inputs are unobservable in the market, such as structured securities with complex features that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. Certain assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, intangible assets, future policy benefits excluding term life reserves and policyholder account balances. Accordingly, such items are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the items are subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition (for example, when there is evidence of impairment) and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date. Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s assets that are carried at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, by fair value hierarchy level, are as follows:
Summary of Significant Valuation Techniques for Assets on a Recurring Basis Level 1 securities include principally exchange‑traded funds that are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets. Level 2 securities are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. All of the Company’s prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type and region of the world, based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type and region. For fixed maturities that do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications which incorporate a variety of inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, and U.S. Treasury curves. Specifically, for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Securities with validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they generally are based on observable pricing for similar assets or other market significant observable inputs. Level 3 fair value classification consists of investments in securities where the fair value of the security is determined by a pricing service using internal pricing models where one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable in the marketplace, or there is a single broker/dealer quote. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant. The fair value of Level 3 liabilities is estimated on the discounted cash flows of contractual payments. If the Company believes the pricing information received from third-party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. Historically, the Company has not challenged or updated the prices provided by third-party pricing services. However, any such updates by a pricing service to be more consistent with the presented market observations, or any adjustments made by the Company to prices provided by third-party pricing services would be reflected in the balance sheet for the current period. When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the period and are based on observable inputs received from pricing sources; therefore, all net realized and unrealized gains and losses on these securities for the period are reflected in the table that follows. A summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets held at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
There was 1 transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 and no transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 in 2024. There were 3 transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 and 1 transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 in 2023. Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude cash and cash equivalents and accrued investment income, that are not securities and therefore are not included in the three-level hierarchy table disclosed in the “Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements” section. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities. Mortgage Loans — Fair value was based on the discounted value of future cash flows for all first mortgage loans adjusted for specific loan risk. The discount rate was based on the rate that would be offered for similar loans at the reporting date. Fair value excludes $1,005 and $1,098 of second and mezzanine mortgages carried at cost for which fair value is not measurable at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Policyholder Loans — Fair value of policyholder loans was estimated using discounted cash flows using risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash value of the underlying insurance policy. Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances — Liabilities with interest rate guarantees greater than one year or with defined maturities, the fair value was estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk‑free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. Certain non-interest sensitive reserves are at carrying value, which approximates fair value. Long and Short-Term Debt — Fair value was calculated using the discounted value of future cash flows method. The discount rate was based on the rate that is commensurable to the level of risk. The carrying amounts reported on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been divided into short and long-term based upon expected maturity dates. |

Business Segments | Note 10 – Business Segments Our Chief Operating Decision Maker makes decisions by analyzing our segment information. For internal decision-making purposes and external reporting purposes, we do not disaggregate revenue beyond our segment information and believe that any further disaggregation is immaterial. The Company’s current operations were organized into three reportable segments: Insurance, Agency, and Corporate & Other. The Insurance Segment is composed of three broad lines consisting of Traditional Life, Closed Block, and Assumed Life and Annuities. Traditional Life and the Closed Block are distinct operations; the Assumed life and annuities business and the small amount of structured settlements are all blocks in runoff from a prior management arrangement. The Agency Segment includes the insurance distribution operations of the Company and includes commission revenue from the sale of Fidelity Life products. The Corporate & Other Segment includes expenses that will benefit the overall organization, which are not allocated to a segment. This segment recognizes net investment income on cash and invested assets held mainly as a result of the IPO and transaction expenses related to our recently announced merger transaction and interest expense on the commission financing agreement. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including any profit or loss from the sale of Insurance Segment products through the Agency Segment. The segment results are as follows:
All the Company’s significant revenues and long-lived assets are located in the United States, which is the Company’s country of domicile. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business Vericity, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Holding Company (Members) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, the Company completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual Holding Company from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by the Company of all of the capital stock of Members following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, the Company became the holding company for converted Members Mutual Holding Company and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial). On October 3, 2023, the Company, announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, iA American Holdings Inc. (“iA” or “Parent”), Long Grove Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for purposes of Section 6.03 and Article IX thereof, iA Financial Corporation, Inc. (“Guarantor”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The time that the Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “Effective Time.” The Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors. Following execution of the Merger Agreement, Apex Holdco L.P. (the “Consenting Stockholder” or “Apex”) executed and delivered to the Company a written consent (the “Stockholder Written Consent”), adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. As a result of the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Written Consent, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have adopted the Merger Agreement. No further approval of the stockholders of the Company is required to adopt the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Company who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will, at the Effective Time, automatically be converted into the right to receive $11.43 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). The aggregate equity value of the Common Stock acquired by Parent will be approximately $170 million. If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including: (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), and receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iii) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; and (iv) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants. Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations are also conditioned upon the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the absence of any burdensome condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) imposed by any regulators as part of the regulatory approval process. On October 3, 2023, the Company issued a Form 8-K and press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Form 8-K is incorporated into this filing by reference. The Merger is expected to close in Q2, 2024. The Company operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois‑domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non‑affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of interim condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates employed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the valuation of investments in fixed maturity, investment impairments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, future policy benefits and other policyholder liabilities. |
Accounting Standards Adopted and Pending | Accounting Standards Adopted and Pending There were no significant accounting changes in 2024 that had a material impact on the Company's GAAP-basis financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance requires that Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on a debt security will be recognized as an allowance going forward, such that improvements in expected future cash flows after an impairment will no longer be reflected as a prospective yield adjustment through net investment income, but rather a reversal of the previous impairment and recognized through net gains (losses) on investments. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosure. This ASU was issued to eliminate the troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance for creditors that have adopted the current expected credit loss guidance while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company has assessed the impact of ASU 2016-13 and has established an additional for credit losses on our mortgage portfolio of $237. The tax effected amount of $187 is reflected as a beginning of year equity as a Cumulative effect adjustment from changes in accounting guidance, net of tax. The Company has also assessed fixed maturities - available-for-sale, reinsurance recoverables and commissions and agent balances and determined no additional allowance for credit losses is needed. We also adopted the required disclosures within Note 2 Investments, Note 4 Reinsurance, Note 9 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Note 10 Business Segments. Due to the adoption of the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments accounting standard, prior change in valuation allowance is now presented as a change in allowance for credit losses |
