FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) or in documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about (i) our ability to meet our investment objectives and to manage and mitigate market risk with respect to our investments; (ii) the adequacy of our reinsurance program and our ability to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position; (iii) business and risk management strategies, including acquisitions, strategic investments and risk diversification; (iv) our estimates with respect to tax and accounting matters including the impact on our financial statements; (v) future dividends, if any; (vi) our expectations related to our financing activities; (vii) the sufficiency of our liquidity to pay our insurance company affiliates’ claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events; (viii) the sufficiency of our capital resources, together with cash provided from our operations, to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements and the source of funds needed to fund our business and risk management strategies; (ix) the potential effects of the seasonality of our business, including effects on our reinsurance business and financial results; (x) our ability to successfully mitigate the effects of inflation on our business; (xi) our intentions with respect to our credit risk investments; (xii) the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and (xiii) the potential effects of our current legal proceedings.
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The forward-looking statements we make in our Form 10-Q are valid only as of the date of our Form 10-Q and may not occur in light of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we describe from time to time in our filings with the SEC. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" . The ASU i) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models, and amends certain disclosures, ii) amends and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity's own equity, including share-based compensation, and iii) amends the diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The if-converted method will be the only permissible method for computing the dilutive effect of the convertible debt instruments. Interest expense no longer includes amortization of debt discount. The Company adopted the guidance of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, reporting no material impact to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements or disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “2022-02 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU 2022-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2023 and will provide the required disclosures, if determined to be material.
The Company has documented the summary of its significant accounting policies in its Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements annual report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies since the filing of that report.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company completes a detailed analysis each quarter to assess whether the decline in the fair value of any investment below its cost basis is the result of a credit loss. All available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses are reviewed. The Company considers many factors in completing its quarterly review of securities with unrealized losses for credit-related impairment to determine whether a credit loss exists, including the extent to which fair value is below cost, the implied yield to maturity, rating downgrades of the security and whether or not the issuer has failed to make scheduled principal or interest payments. The Company also takes into consideration information about the financial condition of the issuer and industry factors that could negatively impact the capital markets.
If the decline in fair value of an available-for-sale security below its amortized cost is considered to be the result of a credit loss, the Company compares the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2022, management concluded that the decline in the fair value was not a result of credit losses but rather as a direct result from the increase in the market interest rates. Therefore, the Company did
Quarterly, the Company considers whether it intends to sell an available-for-sale security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized costs. In these instances, a decline in fair value is recognized in net income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security.
Other Investments
Non-Consolidating Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
The Company makes passive investments in limited partnerships (“LPs”), which are accounted for using the equity method, with income reported in earnings. The Company also makes passive investments in a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and an Insurtech company, which are accounted for using the measurement alternative method, which is reported at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes from observable price changes.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and maximum loss exposure of the Company’s non-consolidated VIEs at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company is required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
10
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments excluded from the fair value hierarchy
The carrying value of premium receivables and accounts payable, accrued expense, revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility bear interest resets periodically at market interest rates.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill which are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. To evaluate such assets for a potential impairment, the Company determines the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets using a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market approaches, which contain significant unobservable inputs and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate.
Certain of our investments in accordance with GAAP for the type of investment, are measured using methodologies other than fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment following its annual valuation review of approximately $

Osprey Re, our reinsurance affiliate, based in Bermuda, made an irrevocable election under section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be treated as a domestic insurance company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, our reinsurance subsidiary is subject to United States income tax as if it were a U.S. corporation.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had
NOTE 12. REINSURANCE
Overview
In order to limit the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, the Company purchases significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of the Company’s largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 2021 and 2022, the Company purchased reinsurance from the following sources: (i) the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe fund (“FHCF”) for Florida policies only, (ii) private reinsurers, all of which were rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized, and (iii) the Company’s wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”). Additionally, for the 2022 hurricane season, the Company purchased a portion of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program from Citrus Re Ltd. (“Citrus Re), a Bermuda special purpose insurer formed in 2014, through the 2022-1 notes, which cover catastrophe losses incurred for specific states. In addition to purchasing excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchased quota share, property per risk and facultative reinsurance. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative reinsurance to supplement its per risk reinsurance program where the Company capacity needs dictate.
Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of the risk exposure on policies we write to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that the Company’s reinsurers are unable to
16
meet the obligations they assume under the Company’s reinsurance agreements, the Company remains liable for the entire insured loss.
The Company’s reinsurance agreements are prospective contracts. The Company records an asset, prepaid reinsurance premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of the Company’s new reinsurance agreements. The Company generally amortizes its catastrophe reinsurance premiums ratably over the
In the event that the Company incurs losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable under its reinsurance program, the Company records amounts recoverable from its reinsurers on paid losses plus an estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses. The estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses is a function of its liability for unpaid losses associated with the reinsured policies; therefore, the amount changes in conjunction with any changes to its estimate of unpaid losses. As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that an estimated recovery may change significantly in the near term from the amounts included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s insurance regulators require all insurance companies, like us, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage in order to cover losses and loss adjustment expenses upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event. The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of its state regulator requirements, which are based on the probable maximum loss that it would incur from an individual catastrophic event estimated to occur once in every 100 years based on its portfolio of insured risks. The nature, severity and location of the event giving rise to such a probable maximum loss differs for each insurer depending on the insurer’s portfolio of insured risks, including, among other things, the geographic concentration of insured value within such portfolio. As a result, a particular catastrophic event could be a one-in-100-year loss event for one insurance company while having a greater or lesser probability of occurrence for another insurance company. The Company also purchases reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. The Company shares portions of its reinsurance program coverage among its insurance company affiliates.
2022-2023 Reinsurance Program
Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
Effective June 1, 2022, the Company entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements covering Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”) and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”). The catastrophe reinsurance programs are allocated among traditional reinsurers, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), Citrus Re Ltd., and Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”), the Company’s captive reinsurer. The FHCF covers Florida risks only and the Company elected to participate at
The reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects the Company for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The 2022-2023 reinsurance program provides first event coverage up to $
The Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of our reinsurance program. For second or subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of $
The Company's estimated net cost for the 2022-2023 catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance programs is approximately $
Additionally, the Company placed an occurrence contract for business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 31, 2021, expiring
The Company placed an aggregate contract for the Company’s business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms, on December 1, 2021, expiring

Net Quota Share Reinsurance
The Company’s Net Quota Share coverage is proportional reinsurance, which applies to business underwritten by NBIC, for which certain of the Company’s other reinsurance (property catastrophe excess of loss and the second layer of the general excess of loss) inures to the quota share program. An occurrence limit of $
Per Risk Coverage
For losses arising from business underwritten by Heritage P&C and losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, excluding losses from named storms, the Company purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $
In addition, the Company purchased facultative reinsurance for losses in excess of $
General Excess of Loss
The Company’s general excess of loss reinsurance protects business underwritten by NBIC and Zephyr multi-peril policies from single risk losses. For the contract period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, the coverage is in
In addition, the Company purchased facultative reinsurance for losses underwritten by NBIC in excess of $

NOTE 13. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES
The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date. The
18
Company estimates its IBNR reserves by projecting its ultimate losses using industry accepted actuarial methods and then deducting actual loss payments and case reserves from the projected ultimate losses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “our Company”, and similar references refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company that primarily provides personal and commercial residential insurance products across our multi-state footprint. We provide personal residential insurance in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia and commercial residential insurance in Florida, New Jersey, and New York. As a vertically integrated insurer, we control or manage substantially all aspects of risk management, underwriting, claims processing and adjusting, actuarial rate making and reserving, customer service, and distribution. Our financial strength ratings are important to us in establishing our competitive position and can impact our ability to write policies.
Trends
Inflation, Underwriting and Pricing
We continue to address rising reinsurance and loss costs in the property insurance sector through continued implementation of increased rates, resulting in an increase in the average premium per policy of 11.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year quarter. New rates, which are subject to approval by our regulators, become effective when a policy is written or renewed, and the premium is earned pro rata over the policy period of one year. As a result of this timing, it takes an average of eighteen months for the impact of a rate change to be fully recognized in our financial statements. For that reason, we account for inflation in our rate indications and filings with our regulators.
We invest in data analytics, using software and experienced personnel, to continuously evaluate our underwriting criteria and manage exposure to catastrophe and other losses. Our retention has remained steadily in the range of 90% despite the rate increases we have implemented, in large part due to a challenging property insurance market in most of the regions in which we operate. Weather losses and a higher cost of reinsurance have impacted these markets. While we believe our rates are generally competitive with private market insurers operating in our space, we are committed to achieving rate adequacy to address a higher cost of doing business in our markets.
We continue to experience rising inflation in the form of increased labor and material costs, which drive up claim costs throughout all states in which we conduct business. Some of our markets are also seeing claim costs impacted by litigated claims, which substantially increases loss costs. Our response to this phenomenon is a combination of raising rates and reducing exposure, particularly in the geographic regions which generate the highest number of litigated claims. We initiated an exposure reduction plan for the tri-county area of Florida in 2016 due to claims abuse from water damage claims. We have since experienced a claims surge throughout much of Florida, generated from assignment of benefits, excessive roof claims, and unwarranted litigated claims which far exceeded levels experienced in other states. Our exposure reduction plan then expanded to the entire state of Florida. Our policy count and total insured value (“TIV”) in Florida declined by 22.2% and 13.5%%, respectively, since December 31, 2020. While we see improvement in the geographic distribution of our business, which is becoming more rate adequate, our Florida loss costs have continued to increase from a combination of adverse weather and exacerbation of losses on weather and other claims from the litigated claims environment. Recent legislative changes have been made in Florida which we believe have helped to make some progress toward reducing losses from abusive claim reporting practices.
The following table, which provides policy count, in-force premium, and TIV, demonstrates the results of our exposure management as relates to Florida. Florida premiums-in-force declined 5.7% as of June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year quarter despite much larger reductions of our policies-in-force and TIV, primarily due to rate increases. For states outside of Florida, the premiums-in-force increased at a much larger rate than the increases in policies in force and TIV, primarily due to rate increases.

Recent Developments
COVID-19 and Other Matters
We continue to monitor the short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 virus and its variants. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we saw negligible impact to our business. As a residential property insurer, we view our business as somewhat insulated because property owners and renters generally view our products as a necessity. Most of our gross and net premiums written are from renewals of expiring policies. New business, which accounts for a smaller portion of our revenue, may be impacted if consumers are not buying as many new homes in our geographies, but this could be partially or fully offset by increased retention in our renewal portfolio. We could experience disruptions to our independent agency distribution channel, which may have a negative impact on our revenues and financial condition. Changes in the cost of materials for home repairs resultant from COVID-19 related supply shortages can influence our loss costs associated with claims.
While we acknowledge uncertainties associated with future economic conditions, we do not expect a material impact to our business going forward relating to COVID-19 other than supply chain related issues which may cause inflation to the cost of building material. We will continue to monitor economic conditions and, in the case of a prolonged economic slowdown as a result of COVID-19, will take necessary actions to mitigate any negative impacts to our business, operations or financial results.
Goodwill Impairment Charge
We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is likely that the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets may exceed the implied fair value. Any impairment is charged to operations in the period that the impairment is identified. The evaluation of goodwill impairment requires considerable management judgment and includes a review of a variety of factors as described below. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our financial results. During the second quarter of 2022, we concluded it was appropriate to perform an interim evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment given a variety of market factors as described below. As a result of the analysis, we impaired the entire amount of remaining goodwill, which reduced our carrying value of goodwill from $92.0 million to $0 based on the following factors: (i) disruptions in the equity markets, specifically for property and casualty insurance companies, largely due to recent weather-related catastrophe events; (ii) elevated loss ratios for property insurers in our markets; and (iii) trading of our stock below book value. These factors reduced our previously modeled fair value of the Company and resulted in a $92.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, most of which is not tax deductible.
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows provides information that will assist the reader in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, including certain key performance indicators such as net combined ratio, net expense ratio and net loss ratio, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial

statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

Total revenue
Total revenue was $163.8 million in second quarter 2022, up 9.0% from $150.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from higher net premiums earned and an increase in investment income, as described in detail below.
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written were $365.3 million, up 8.2% from $337.7 million the prior year quarter, reflecting a 4.6% growth in Florida and 12.1% growth in other states, primarily from increased rates as well as a small increase in policy count in states outside of Florida. Rate increases continued to meaningfully benefit written premiums throughout the book of business.
Premiums-in-force were $1.2 billion in second quarter 2022, up 3.4% from second quarter 2021, while policies-in-force were down 7.3%, with the difference largely stemming from rate increases. The reduction in policies-in-force from the second quarter of 2021 reflects our exposure management initiatives.
Gross premiums earned
Gross premiums earned were $296.2 million in second quarter 2022, up 3.7% from $285.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months, which is primarily related to higher rates on a smaller book of business based on policy count.
Ceded premiums earned
Ceded premiums earned were $137.9 million in second quarter 2022, down 0.9% from $139.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease is driven by higher ceded premium for the second quarter of 2021 associated with our severe convective storm reinsurance contract, partly offset by higher ceded premium on our net quota share reinsurance program, which is driven by growth in our northeast business, and higher ceded premium on our June 1, 2022 catastrophe excess of loss program driven by higher TIV and higher reinsurance rates due to current market conditions.
Net premiums earned
Net premiums earned were $158.3 million in second quarter 2022, up 8.0% from $146.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from growth in gross premiums earned outpacing the increase in ceded premiums earned, as described above.
Net investment income
Net investment income, inclusive of realized investment gains and unrealized gains on equity securities, was $2.1 million in second quarter 2022, compared to a net investment loss of $44,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase is driven by a realized loss recognized on an investment held outside our managed portfolio in the prior year quarter as well as higher balances in our fixed income portfolio than the prior year quarter.
Other revenue
Other revenue was $3.4 million in second quarter 2022, down by 8.1% from $3.7 million in the prior year quarter, driven primarily by a decline in policy fee income associated with the reduction of policies in force.

Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses were up $95.1 million, or 61.7% in the second quarter 2022, primarily due to the previously mentioned $92.0 million goodwill impairment charge taken in the quarter.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses
Losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) were $101.5 million in second quarter 2022, slightly up from $100.8 million in the prior year quarter. Net current accident year weather losses include $38.1 million, up 7.3% from $35.5 million in the prior year quarter. Current accident year weather losses include $32.1 million of net current accident quarter catastrophe losses, up from $24.5 million in the prior year quarter, and $6.0 million of other weather losses, down from $11.0 million in the prior year quarter. We experienced a 4.0% decline in attritional losses from the prior year quarter, despite the increase in gross earned premiums.
Policy acquisition costs
Policy acquisition costs were $38.4 million in second quarter 2022, up 1.4% from $37.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to growth in gross premiums written.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $17.5 million in second quarter 2022, up 12.5% from $15.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to a state tax credit of $1.5 million recorded in the prior year quarter.
Goodwill impairment
As a result of our analysis, at June 30, 2022 we impaired the entire amount of remaining goodwill, reducing our carrying value of goodwill from $92.0 million to $0. See the section titled “Goodwill Impairment Charge” above for more detail on our goodwill impairment charge.

Net loss
Second quarter 2022 net loss was $87.9 million ($3.32 loss per share), down from net loss of $4.0 million ($0.14 loss per share) in the prior year quarter, with the reduction stemming primarily from a $90.8 million (net of a $1.2 million tax deductible portion) non-cash goodwill impairment charge (contributing a $3.43 loss per share), partly offset by underwriting income for the quarter.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, down due to a reduction in debt discount associated with the repurchase of convertible notes in the first quarter of 2022.
29
Provision (benefit) for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was $563,000 in second quarter 2022 compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2.0 million in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate in second quarter 2022 was impacted by the mostly non-deductible goodwill impairment charge described above. The impact of permanent tax differences on projected results of operations for the calendar year impacts the effective tax rate, which can also fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

Net combined ratio
The net combined ratio was 99.4% in second quarter 2022, down 5.8 points from 105.2% in the prior year quarter. The decrease stems from improvements in all three of our key operating ratios, resultant from a focus on rate adequacy and effective exposure management, as described above.
Ceded premium ratio

Net loss and LAE ratio
The net loss and LAE ratio was 64.1% in second quarter 2022, down 4.7 points from 68.8% in the prior year quarter, driven by relatively flat losses and an increase in net premiums earned as described above.
Net expense ratio
The net expense ratio was 35.3% in second quarter 2022, down 1.1 point from 36.4% in the prior year quarter, driven by a lower PAC ratio.

Total revenue
Total revenue was $322.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up 8.4% from $297.4 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from higher net premiums earned and investment income, as described below.
Gross premiums written
30
Gross premiums written were $648.5 million for the six months ended June 30. 2022, up 6.0% from $611.9 million in the prior year period. We experienced growth of 11.8% outside of Florida and 0.7% growth in Florida. Growth throughout our book of business was largely driven by rate increases resulting in a higher average premium per policy as described above.
Premiums-in-force were $1.2 billion at second quarter 2022, up 3.4% from second quarter 2021, while policies-in-force were down 7.3%, with the difference largely stemming from rate increases. The reduction in policies in force from the second quarter of 2021 reflects our exposure management initiatives.
Gross premiums earned
Gross premiums earned were $583.6 million for the six months ended June 30. 2022, up 4.9% from $556.1 million in the prior year period. The increase reflects higher gross premiums written over the preceding twelve months.
Ceded premiums earned
Ceded premiums earned were $272.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up 1.9% from $267.4 million in the prior year period. The increase is attributable to an increase in the cost of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program driven by an increase in TIV for the respective reinsurance contract periods and higher rate-on-line, as well as higher premium ceded under our net quota share program driven by growth in our northeast business, partly offset by higher premium for the six months ended June 30, 2021 for our severe convective storm reinsurance program.
Net premiums earned
Net premiums earned were $311.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up 7.8% from $288.7 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from growth in gross premiums earned outpacing the increase in ceded premiums earned, as described above.
Net investment income
Net investment income, inclusive of realized investment gains and unrealized gains on equity securities, was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to higher balances in our fixed income portfolio than the prior six-month period, coupled with a realized loss recognized on an investment held outside our managed portfolio in the prior year quarter.
Other revenue
Other revenue was $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, down 3.8% from $7.4 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by a decline in policy fee income associated with the reduction of policies in force.

Net loss
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $118.6 million ($4.46 loss per share), compared to a net loss of $9.1 million ($0.33 loss per share) in the prior year period. The year-over-year change primarily stems from a $90.8 million (net of a $1.2 million tax deductible portion) non-cash goodwill impairment charge (contributing a $3.41 loss per share), coupled with an underwriting loss generated for the six-month period driven by higher weather losses over the prior period, as described above.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, slightly down from the prior year period.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes
Benefit for income taxes was $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 33.2% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was impacted by the mostly non-deductible goodwill impairment charge as described above. The impact of permanent tax differences on projected results of operations for the calendar year impacts the effective tax rate, which can also fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

Net combined ratio
The net combined ratio was 114.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, up 7.8 points from 106.4% in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from a higher net loss and LAE ratio, partly offset by a decrease in the net expense ratio.
Ceded premium ratio
The ceded premium ratio was 46.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, down 1.4 points from 48.1% in the prior year period, reflecting the growth in gross premiums earned outpacing the growth in ceded premiums earned as described above.
Net loss and LAE ratio
The net loss and LAE ratio was 77.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, up 8.8 points from 68.8% in the prior year period, driven by higher weather losses compared to the prior year period, which was partly offset by the 7.8% increase in net premiums earned.
Net expense ratio
The net expense ratio was 36.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, down 1.0 point from 37.6% in the prior year period, driven by a lower PAC ratio.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2022, we had $290.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $654.3 million in investments, compared to $359.3 million and $694.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the timing of reinsurance payments for our catastrophe excess of loss ("XOL") program as well as timing of reinsurance recoveries. The decrease in investments is due to the unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale fixed income securities portfolio. The unrealized losses resulted from the sharp decline in bond prices during 2022 as a result of the higher interest rate environment. The Company’s fixed income portfolio average credit rating is A+ with a duration of 3.6 years at June 30, 2022.
We generally hold substantial cash balances to meet seasonal liquidity needs including amounts to pay quarterly reinsurance installments as well as meet the collateral requirements of Osprey, our captive reinsurance company, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates.
We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
We may continue to pursue the acquisition of complementary businesses and make strategic investments. We may increase capital expenditures consistent with our investment plans and anticipated growth strategy. Cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund such expenditures. As such, in addition to the use of our existing Credit Facilities, we may need to utilize additional debt to secure funds for such purposes.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $47.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $104.4 million for the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in cash from operating activities relates primarily to timing of cash flows associated with claim and reinsurance payments as well as reinsurance reimbursements during the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $14.0 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $92.9 million for the comparable period in 2021. The change in cash used in investing activities relates primarily to allocations of funds for investment in each period. Strategic sales of investments to yield realized gains in 2020 produced proceeds which were re-invested in 2021, driving up the cash used for investing activities.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6.8 million, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in cash used for financing activities was driven by our $15 million draw from our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below) to purchase and retire $11.7 million of Convertible Notes, and our purchase of $5 million of treasury stock during the first half of 2022.
Credit Facilities
The Company is party to a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Regions Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Hancock Whitney Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
Term Loan Facility. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and increasing to $1.3 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan Facility matures on July 27, 2026. As of June 30, 2022, there was $67.4 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $75 million inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans. As of June 30, 2022, we had $15 million in borrowings and a $7.5 million letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to LIBOR (based on one, two, three or six-month interest periods), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR index rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreement provides for mechanisms for the transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate and replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.
The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities varies from 2.5% per annum to 3.0% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.5% to 2.0% per annum (for base rate loans) based on our consolidated leverage ratio ranging from 1.25-to-1 to greater than 2.25-to-1. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months. As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing under our Credit Facilities were accruing interest at a rate of 3.5625 % per annum.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by our consolidated leverage ratio.
We may prepay the loans under the Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions including minimum amounts and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of prepayments of LIBOR loans. In addition, we are required to prepay the loan under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from certain financing transactions, involuntary dispositions or asset sales (subject, in the case of asset sales, to reinvestment rights).
All obligations under the Credit Facilities are or will be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than all of the Company’s current and future regulated insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The Company and the Guarantors are party to a Pledge and Security Agreement, (as amended from time to time the “Security Agreement”), in favor of Regions Bank, as collateral agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the present and future assets of the
34
Company and each Guarantor (subject to certain exceptions), including all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, other than its regulated insurance subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Company is required to maintain, as of each fiscal quarter (1) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 (2) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 and (3) a minimum consolidated net worth for the Company and its subsidiaries. Events of default include, among other events, (i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (ii) failure to perform or observe certain covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement; (iii) breach of any representation or warranty; (iv) cross-default to other indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; (vi) monetary judgment defaults and material nonmonetary judgment defaults; (vii) customary ERISA defaults; (viii) a change of control of the Company; and (ix) failure to maintain specified catastrophe retentions in each of the Company’s regulated insurance subsidiaries.
Convertible Notes
On August 10, 2017, the Company and Heritage MGA, LLC (the “Notes Guarantor”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Notes Guarantor and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes, after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $120.5 million. The offering of the Convertible Notes was completed on August 16, 2017.
The Company issued the Convertible Notes under an Indenture (the “Convertible Note Indenture”), dated August 16, 2017, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Notes Guarantor, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness or other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries other than the Notes Guarantor, which fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
The Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2037, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 1, 2037, other than during the period from, and including, February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2017, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (2) during the ten consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Convertible Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
During the period from and including February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, and on or after February 1, 2037 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2037, holders may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was initially 67.0264 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.92 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances and is subject to increase for holders that elect to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with certain corporate transactions (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture)) that occur prior to August 5, 2022.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture), holders of the Convertible Notes may
35
require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Except as described below, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 5, 2022. On or after August 5, 2022 but prior to February 1, 2037, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Convertible Notes periodically. Holders of the Convertible Notes are able to cause the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on any of August 1, 2022, August 1, 2027 and August 1, 2032, in each case at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.
The Convertible Note Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (as set forth in the Convertible Note Indenture) with respect to the Company, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable.
In January 2022, the Company repurchased $11.7 million principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2022, there was $11.7 million principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes.
As discussed above, holders of the Convertible Notes issued by the Company had an optional put right, pursuant to the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, to require the Company to repurchase the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that are validly tendered. The Company has received notice from the Depositary for the Convertible Notes that, on July 29, 2022, $10,895,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes has been validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the indenture and the Company’s notice with respect to the optional put right of the Convertible Notes, and the Company has requested that the trustee cancel the Convertible Notes tendered. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022 of non-affiliated Notes was $11.8 million. On August 1, 2022, the Company made payments for the principal amount of the Convertible Notes tendered and unpaid interest in the aggregate amounts of $10.9 million and $320,041, respectively. The Company has drawn $10.0 million from its revolver to replenish the cash used to pay the $10.9 million for the purchase of the tendered Convertible Notes.
FHLB Loan Agreements
In December 2018, a subsidiary of the Company pledged U.S. government and agency fixed maturity securities with an estimated fair value of $31.0 million as collateral and received $19.2 million in a cash loan under an advance agreement with the FHLB Atlanta. The loan originated on December 12, 2018 and bears a fixed interest rate of 3.094% with interest payments due quarterly commencing in March 2019. The principal balance on the loan has a maturity date of December 13, 2023. In connection with the agreement, the subsidiary became a member of FHLB. Membership in the FHLB required an investment in FHLB’s common stock which was purchased on December 31, 2018 and valued at $1.4 million. The subsidiary is permitted to withdraw any portion of the pledged collateral over the minimum collateral requirement at any time, other than in the event of a default by the subsidiary. The proceeds from the loan was used to prepay the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2023 in 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed within our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Seasonality of our Business
Our insurance business is seasonal; hurricanes typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 and winter storms generally impact the first and fourth quarters each year. With our catastrophe reinsurance program effective on June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes to reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1 of each year, subject to certain adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information set forth under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” is incorporated herein by reference. We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The duration of the financial instruments held in our portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk was 3.629 years and 3.801 years at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 3.903 years at December 31, 2021. As interest rates continue to rise, the fair value of our fixed rate debt securities are subject to decline. Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations. Credit risk is managed by maintaining a high credit quality fixed maturity securities portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated weighted-average credit quality rating of the fixed maturity securities portfolio was A+, at fair value, consistent with the average rating at December 31, 2021.
On July 28, 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to provide mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate for its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and replace LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.
The The Federal Reserve has tightened monetary policy, including multiple interest rate increases in the first half of 2022; however, the outlook is less certain for longer-term rates during the second half of 2022 and beyond. At June 30, 2022, we have not experienced a material impact when compared to the tabular presentations of our interest rate and market risk sensitive instruments in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting for the period ending June 30, 2022.
37
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flow.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company documented its risk factors in Item 1A of Part I of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 14, 2022. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the filing of that report.
