Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Reporting
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of ProSight Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
Effective August 4, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Pedal Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Pedal Parent Inc. (“Parent”), owned by affiliates of TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. and Further Global Capital Management, and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each ProSight common share held by our stockholders converted into the right to receive $
In connection with the merger, all outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and fees under the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2020, (the “Credit Agreement”) were repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement were terminated. Simultaneously with the consummation of the merger and the termination of the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a credit agreement with third-party lenders and an administrative agent dated August 4, 2021, with terms that were materially similar to the Credit Agreement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statement balances, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically reviews its estimates and assumptions.
2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 provides the option to apply prospectively to costs for activities performed on or after the date that the entity first adopts or retrospectively in accordance with guidance on accounting changes. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 as of January 1, 2021 and elected to apply the adopted guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

ProSight Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). Among other items, the amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting treatment of tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods. An entity generally recognizes the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment; however, there is an exception for tax laws with delayed effective dates. Under current guidance, an entity may not adjust its annual effective tax rate for a tax law change until the period in which the law is effective. This exception was removed under ASU 2019-12, thereby providing that all effects of a tax law change are recognized in the period of enactment, including adjustment of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Regarding year-to-date losses in interim periods, an entity is required to estimate its annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year at the end of each interim period and use that rate to calculate its income taxes on a year-to-date basis. However, current guidance provides an exception that when a loss in an interim period exceeds the anticipate loss for the year, the income tax benefit is limited to the amount that would be recognized if the year-to-date loss were the anticipated loss for the full year. ASU 2019-12 removes this exception and provides that in this situation, an entity would compute its income tax benefit at each interim period based on its estimated annual effective tax rate. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. For the Company, ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2020-01”). ASU 2020-01 will clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU 2020-01 is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. For the Company, ASU 2020-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Companies can elect to adopt ASU 2020-04 as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 2020, or any date thereafter through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial condition and results of operations.

The Company analyzes fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for credit losses if they meet the following criteria: (i) they are trading in a significant loss position, (ii) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, (iii) there have been negative credit events with respect to the issuer, or (iv) there have been negative current events surrounding an issuer or the environment in which an issuer operates.
For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position that require a credit loss analysis, the Company estimates a present value of expected cash flows. If the results of the cash flow analysis indicate that the Company will not recover the full amount of its amortized cost basis, the Company records a credit loss for the excess of amortized cost over the present value of expected cash flows, not to exceed the unrealized loss. Changes in the credit loss allowance are recognized through realized investment gains, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The credit loss allowance benefit for fixed maturity securities was $

ProSight Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The carrying values used for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies generally are established on the basis of the current valuations provided by the managers of such investments. These valuations are determined based upon the valuation criteria established by the governing documents of such investments or utilized in the normal course of such manager’s business, which are reflective of fair value. Such valuations may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had available markets for these investments existed and the differences could be material.
The Company’s strategies for its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies include investment funds that employ diverse and fundamentally driven approaches to investing which include effective risk management, hedging strategies and leverage. The portfolio of investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies consists of common stocks, real estate assets, options, swaps, derivative instruments and other structured products.
The limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company invests sometimes impose limitations on the timing of withdrawals from the funds. The Company’s inability to withdraw its investment quickly from a particular limited partnership or a limited liability company that is performing poorly could result in losses and may affect liquidity. All of the Company’s limited partnerships and limited liability companies have timing limitations. Most limited partnerships and limited liability companies require a

(m) The Company began participating in a securities lending program in March 2021. The Company loans certain of its securities to third parties, for short periods through a lending agent. The Company maintains legal control over the securities it lends, retains the earnings and cash flows associated with the loaned securities and receives a fee from the borrower for the temporary use of the securities and cash collateral received earns income which are both recorded within net investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Collateral recorded within restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet is received in an amount that is in excess of fair value at the time of borrowing (
6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company has established a framework for valuing financial assets and financial liabilities. The framework is based on a hierarchy of inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value and categorize the assets and liabilities within the hierarchy:
Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These prices generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available. Active markets are defined as having the following for the measured asset/liability: (i) many transactions, (ii) current prices, (iii) price quotes not varying substantially among market makers, (iv) narrow bid/ask spreads and (v) most information publicly available.
The Company’s Level 1 assets include bond exchange-traded funds.
Level 2 – Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, nonbinding quotes in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets and other market observable inputs (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.).
The Company’s Level 2 assets include U.S. Treasury securities, government agency securities, municipal debt obligations, RMBS, CMBS, CLO, ABS, corporate debt securities, and non-redeemable preferred stock securities.
The Company generally obtains valuations from third-party pricing services and/or security dealers for identical or comparable assets or liabilities by obtaining nonbinding broker quotes (when pricing service information is not available) in order to determine an estimate of fair value. The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third-party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm’s-length transaction.
Level 3 – Fair value is based on at least one or more significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the asset. These inputs reflect the Company’s understanding about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company’s Level 3 assets include its investments in certain corporate debt securities, certain non-redeemable preferred stock securities and commercial levered loans as they are illiquid and trade in inactive markets. These markets are considered inactive as a result of the low level of trades of such investments. Commercial levered loans are also not
15
ProSight Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
considered within the Level 3 tabular disclosure, because they are in the “held for investment” category and are also not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The corporate debt securities and non-redeemable preferred stock securities classified under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are either provided to the Company by an independent valuation service provider or calculated by the Company. For certain securities, the Company uses observable inputs such as readily available indices as well as change in estimated fund returns provided by third party investment managers. Unobservable inputs, significant to the measurement and valuation of the corporate debt securities are assumptions about prepayment speed, default rates and recovery rates. Significant changes to any of these inputs, or combination of inputs, could significantly change the fair value measurement for these securities when using the income approach.
The primary pricing sources for the Company’s investments in commercial levered loans are reviewed for reasonableness, based on the Company’s understanding of the respective market. Prices may then be determined using valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow models, as well as matrix pricing analyses performed on nonbinding quotes from brokers or other market makers.

Allowances for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit loss for premium receivable is an assessment of ultimate non-collectability based on historical experience applicable to the respective current collection action status, age of the amount outstanding and expected collection costs. The credit loss allowance for premium receivables as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $
The majority of the allowance relates to audit premium on workers’ compensation coverages assessed during or after the period of coverage whereby there is limited ability to cancel or limit coverage. In the final collection action at the insured level, collection agencies are typically engaged. The amount with collection agencies as of June 30, 2021 was $
The reinsurance receivable allowance for credit loss is based on sources of credit ratings of reinsurers and applies probabilities of default and loss given default to the total uncollateralized exposure including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) by rating class. The credit loss allowance for reinsurance receivables on paid and unpaid losses as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $

The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year.

The Company’s effective tax rates were

On July 24, 2019, the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) became effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the initial public offering. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, RSUs, dividend equivalent rights, performance-based shares or other equity-based or equity-related awards.
The 2019 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2019 Plan, the compensation committee determines in its discretion, the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the size of awards (subject to certain limitations set forth in the compensation committee charter) and the terms and conditions of awards.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are subject to disputes, including litigation and arbitration, arising out of the ordinary course of business. The Company’s estimates of the costs of settling such matters are reflected in its reserves for losses and loss expenses, and the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), and in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”).
References to the "Company," "ProSight," "we," "us," and "our" are to ProSight Global, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. References to “insurance subsidiaries” are to New York Marine and General Insurance Company (“New York Marine”), Gotham Insurance Company (“Gotham”) and Southwest Marine and General Insurance Company (“Southwest Marine”) unless the context otherwise requires.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to future developments in our business or expectations for our future financial performance and any statement not involving a historical fact. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “should,” “seek,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● | our strategies to continue our growth trajectory, expand our distribution network and maintain underwriting profitability; |
● | the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and related economic conditions and governmental actions, including the Company's assessment of the vulnerability of certain categories of investments to the economic disruptions associated with COVID-19; |
● | future growth in existing niches or by entering into new niches; |
● | our loss expectations and expectation to decrease our loss ratio; and |
● | our expectations with respect to the ultimate financial obligations to the buyers of our United Kingdom (“U.K.”) operations. |
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and the development of the market in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include:
● | the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against us; |
● | the performance of and our relationship with third-party agents and vendors we rely upon to distribute certain business on our behalf; |
● | the adequacy of our loss reserves, including as a result of changes in the legal, regulatory, and economic environments in which the Company operates or the impacts of COVID-19; |
29
● | the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 and related risks such as governmental responses and economic contraction, including on the Company’s investments and business operations, its distribution or other key partners and its customers; |
● | the effects of uncertain emerging claim and coverage issues on the Company’s business, and court decisions or legislative or regulatory changes that take place after the Company issues its policies, including those taken in response to COVID-19 (such as effectively expanding workers’ compensation coverage by instituting presumptions of compensability of claims for certain types of workers or requiring insurers to cover business interruption claims irrespective of terms, exclusions or other conditions included in the policies that would otherwise preclude coverage); |
● | the effectiveness of our risk management policies and procedures; |
● | potential technology breaches or failure of our or our business partners’ systems; |
● | adverse changes in the economy which could lower the demand for our insurance products; |
● | our ability to effectively start up or integrate new product opportunities; |
● | cyclical changes in the insurance industry; |
● | the effects of natural and man-made catastrophic events; |
● | our ability to adequately assess risks and estimate losses; |
● | the availability and affordability of reinsurance; |
● | changes in interest rates, government monetary policies, general economic conditions, liquidity and overall market conditions; |
● | changes in the business, financial condition or results of operations of the entities in which we invest; |
● | our ability to protect intellectual property rights; and |
● | the impact of government regulation, including the impact of restrictions on our business activities under the Bank Holding Company (“BHC”) Act. |
We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under the section titled Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the 2020 Annual Report. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Merger Agreement and Merger
On January 15, 2021, we announced that we had entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pedal Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), owned by affiliates of TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. and Further Global Capital Management, and Pedal Merger Sub, Inc.
Effective August 4, 2021, we completed the merger with Pedal Merger Sub, Inc. pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the time the Merger became effective (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of the Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), other than Shares owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Parent or Merger Sub, and Shares that
30
were owned by stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights, converted into the right to receive $12.85 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Consideration”).
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (1) each vested and unvested time-vesting restricted stock unit award (each, a “Company RSU Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares subject to such award multiplied by (B) the Per Share Consideration; (2) each vested and unvested performance-based restricted stock unit award (each, a “Company PSU Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares subject to such award that became vested based on the higher of target performance and actual performance through the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Consideration; (3) each vested and unvested award of Shares subject to time-based vesting conditions (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares subject to such award multiplied by (B) the Per Share Consideration; and (4) each vested and unvested award of Shares subject to performance-based vesting conditions (each, a “Company Performance Share Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the number of shares subject to such award that became vested based on the higher of target performance and actual performance through the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Per Share Consideration.
Delisting
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading in the Company common stock be suspended on NYSE prior to the opening of trading August 4, 2021. On August 4, 2021, NYSE filed a notification of removal from listing and/or registration on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the Company common stock to report the delisting of the Common Shares from NYSE, and to deregister the Company common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Legacy Transfer Transaction
In connection with the Merger, the Company executed an adverse development cover and loss portfolio transfer transaction with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello Bay”).
Overview
We are an entrepreneurial specialty insurance company that since our founding in 2009 has built products, services and solutions with the goal of significantly improving the experience and value proposition for our customers. We write property and casualty insurance with a focus on underwriting specialty risks by partnering with a select number of distributors, often on an exclusive basis. We currently write insurance coverage in eight customer segments across a broad range of specialty lines of business. Our customer segments currently include: Media and Entertainment, Real Estate, Professional Services, Transportation, Construction, Consumer Services, Marine and Energy, and Sports. Within each customer segment, we have multiple niches which represent similar groups of customers. We believe having deep expertise in these niches across our organization is critical and therefore, we have aligned various functional areas at the niche level, including underwriting, operations and claims. We focus on small and medium-sized customers, a market segment which we believe has been, and will continue to be, less affected by intense competitive dynamics of the broader property and casualty insurance industry. Over time, the composition of business within our customer segments evolves as we identify certain niches that present opportunities to develop distinct customer solutions with attractive profit potential and others that were at one time attractive but may become less so. We are focused on delivering consistent underwriting profitability with low volatility of underwriting results. We market and distribute our insurance product offerings in all 50 states on both an admitted and non-admitted basis.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Gross Written and Earned Premiums
Gross written premiums (“GWP”) are the amounts received or to be received for insurance policies written by us during a specific period of time without reduction for policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs or other deductions. The volume of our GWP in any given period is generally influenced by:
● | Expansion or retraction of business within existing niches; |
● | Entrance into new customer segments or niches; |
● | Exit from customer segments or niches; |
● | Average size and premium rate of newly issued and renewed policies; and |
● | The amount of policy endorsements, audit premiums, and cancellations. |
We earn insurance premiums on a pro rata basis over the term of the policy. Our insurance policies generally have a term of one year. Net earned premiums represent the earned portion of our GWP, less that portion of our GWP that is earned and ceded to third-party reinsurers under our reinsurance agreements.
Ceded Written and Earned Premiums
Ceded written premiums are the amount of GWP ceded to reinsurers. We actively use ceded reinsurance across our book of business to reduce our overall risk position and to protect our capital. Ceded written premiums are earned over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered and the underlying policies. The volume of our ceded written premiums is impacted by the level of our GWP and any decision we make to increase or decrease retention levels.
Net Investment Income
We earn investment income on our portfolio of cash and invested assets. Our cash and invested assets are primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities, and may also include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, non-redeemable preferred stock securities, bond exchange-traded funds, commercial levered loans, and limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Neither our limited partnerships nor our limited liability companies are accounted for on a lag and thus reflect the current period fair value adjustments. The principal factors that influence net investment income are the size of our investment portfolio and the yield on that portfolio. As measured by amortized cost (which excludes changes in fair value, such as changes in interest rates and credit spreads), the size of our investment portfolio is mainly a function of our invested equity capital along with premiums we receive from our insureds less payments on policyholder claims and operating expenses.
Realized Investment Gains and Losses
Realized investment gains and losses are a function of the difference between the amount received by us on the sale of a security and the security’s amortized cost, as well as any change in current expected credit loss allowance for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities recognized in earnings.
Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are a function of the amount and type of insurance contracts we write, the loss experience associated with the underlying coverage, and the expenses incurred in the handling of the losses. In general, our losses and LAE are affected by:
● | Frequency of claims associated with the particular types of insurance contracts that we write; |
32
● | Trends in the average size of losses incurred on a particular type of business; |
● | Mix of business written by us; |
● | Changes in the legal or regulatory environment related to the business we write; |
● | Trends in legal defense costs; |
● | Wage inflation; and |
● | Inflation in medical costs. |
Losses and LAE are based on an actuarial analysis of the paid and estimated outstanding losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods. Losses and LAE may be paid out over a number of years.
Within Losses and LAE, we report catastrophe losses separately. Catastrophe losses are unusual in nature and do not reflect upon the normal loss results of our underlying business. We define catastrophe losses as any one claim, or group of claims, with an accumulation of paid and estimated outstanding losses equal to or greater than $1.0 million related to a single, natural or man-made loss event as designated by Property Claims Services (“PCS”).
Underwriting, Acquisition and Insurance Expenses
Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses include policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Policy acquisition costs are principally comprised of the commissions we pay our distribution partners and ceding commissions we receive on business ceded under certain reinsurance contracts. Policy acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of those policies are deferred. The amortization of such policy acquisition costs is charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the policy life. Other underwriting expenses represent the general and administrative expenses of our insurance business including employment costs, telecommunication and technology costs, the costs of our leases, and legal and auditing fees.
Income Tax Expense
Substantially all of our income tax expense relates to U.S. federal income taxes. Our insurance companies are generally not subject to income taxes in the states in which they operate; however, our non-insurance subsidiaries are subject to state income taxes. The amount of income tax expense or benefit recorded in future periods will depend on the jurisdictions in which we operate and the tax laws and regulations in effect. Our income tax expense for periods beginning in 2018 is based on the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 21%.
Key Metrics
We discuss certain key metrics, described below, which provide useful information about our business and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.
Net income is the amount of profit or loss remaining after deducting all incurred expenses, including income taxes, from the total earned revenues for an accounting period.
Underwriting (loss) income is calculated by subtracting losses and LAE and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums.
Adjusted operating income is net income excluding net realized investment gains and losses, impairment of goodwill and expenses relating to various transactions that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature (net of estimated tax impact).
Loss and LAE ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of losses and LAE, allocated and unallocated, to net earned premiums, net of the effects of reinsurance.
33
Expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses to net earned premiums.
Combined ratio is the sum of the loss and LAE ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.
Return on equity is net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period.
Adjusted operating return on equity is adjusted operating income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period.
Net retention ratio is the ratio of net written premiums to GWP.
Underwriting income, adjusted operating income, and adjusted operating return on equity are non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to underwriting income and adjusted operating income. See “Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations — The WAQS” for additional detail on the impact of the WAQS on our results of operations.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
The WAQS
In connection with the divestment of our U.K. business, New York Marine as reinsured entered into the whole account quota share reinsurance agreements (the “WAQS”) with third party reinsurers to maintain reasonable underwriting leverage within New York Marine and its subsidiary insurance companies during a transition period following the U.K. divestment. The effective date of the WAQS was April 1, 2017. During 2018 and following the transition of the U.S. business back to New York Marine, the WAQS were terminated. Previously ceded written and unearned premium, net of the ceding commission, was reversed. There were no ceded loss reserves under the WAQS as of June 30, 2021 and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 there was no impact of WAQS on underwriting results or ratios.

Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income was $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.8 million, or 4.5%. The increase in net income primarily resulted from an increase in realized gains largely driven by the sale of fixed maturity securities to generate cash required to fund the ceding of loss reserves associated with the proposed reinsurance transaction with Cavello Bay.
Premiums
GWP were $238.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 186.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $52.1 million, or 28.0%.

GWP from customer segments (excluding GWP within “Other”) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 grew by 28.8% primarily due to the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Transportation and Media & Entertainment customer segments, as well as strong growth in the Construction customer segment, partially offset by contraction in the Real Estate customer segment due to the strategic exit of certain niches.
The changes in GWP were most notable in the following customer segments:
● | Transportation GWP increased by 269.9% to $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to ($12.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The premium growth was driven by the rebound from the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic across all niches. |
● | Construction GWP increased 40.8% to 39.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The premium growth was driven by strong organic growth across all niches within the segment. |
● | Media and Entertainment GWP increased by 32.2% to $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The premium growth was driven by the rebound from the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic. |
● | Real Estate GWP decreased by 14.0% to $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The premium contraction is primarily driven by the strategic exit of certain niches within the segment. |
Net written premiums increased by $55.1 million, or 35.2%, to $211.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $156.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net written premiums was primarily related to the growth in GWP due to the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net earned premiums decreased by $2.7 million, or 1.5%, to $178.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 181.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net earned premiums was directly related to the contraction in net written premiums over the past twelve months.
Loss and LAE Ratio
Our loss and LAE ratio was 63.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 61.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses for accident years 2020 and prior developed unfavorably by $5.4 million driven by $8.1 million unfavorable development in All Other lines, $3.2 million unfavorable development in Commercial Auto and $2.7 million unfavorable development in Commercial Multiple Peril offset by $5.1 million favorable development in
36
Workers’ Compensation and $3.6 million favorable development in General Liability. In addition, the Company incurred $1.4 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses related to premium adjustments earned during the three months ended June 30, 2021 attributable to prior accident years 2020 and 2019.

(2) | Catastrophe losses are any one claim, or group of claims, equal or greater than $1.0 million related to a single PCS designated catastrophe event. PCS is Property Claim Services, a Verisk company. PCS has defined catastrophes in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands as events that cause $25.0 million or more in direct insured losses to property and affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers. |
Expense Ratio
Our expense ratio was 38.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 37.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the expense ratio is driven primarily by an increase in the policy acquisition expense ratio of 1.3% due to a shift in the mix of business and changing reinsurance structure.

Underwriting (Loss) Income
Underwriting loss was $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an underwriting income of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.4 million. The decrease in underwriting income is primarily due to adverse prior period development and the increased policy acquisition expense ratio.
Combined Ratio
Our combined ratio was 102.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 99.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Investing Results
Our net investment income decreased by 38.7% to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net investment income is primarily due to the reduction of income generated by our limited partnerships. Net investment yield was 2.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Realized investment gains, net increased by $12.2
37
million to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase is largely driven by the sale of fixed maturity securities to generate cash required to fund the ceding of loss reserves associated with the proposed reinsurance transaction with Cavello Bay.

Interest and Other Expenses, Net
Our interest and other expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily driven by the refinancing of our long term debt at a lower effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 20.6% and 21.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the tax effect of share-based compensation.
Our income tax expense was $4.7 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease is due to the lower effective tax rate as a result of share-based compensation.
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes certain income tax provisions for individuals and corporations; however, these benefits do not impact the Company’s current tax provision.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income was $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 61.0% from the adjusted operating income of $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in net investment income and underwriting income.
Adjusted Operating Return on Equity
Our adjusted operating return on equity was 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 8.3 percentage points from 12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the decrease in adjusted operating income combined with an increase in average book value.

GWP from customer segments (excluding GWP within “Other”) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 grew by 2.2% primarily due to the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Transportation customer segment, as well as strong organic growth in the Construction and Professional services customer segment, partially offset by contraction in the Real Estate customer segment due to the strategic exit of certain niches.
The changes in GWP were most notable in the following customer segments:
● | Transportation GWP increased by 281.3% to $34.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The premium growth was driven by the rebound from the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic across all niches. |
● | Construction GWP increased by 25.5% to $65.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $52.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The premium growth was driven by strong organic growth across all niches within the segment. |
● | Professional Services GWP increased by 10.7% to $68.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $61.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Premium growth was driven by strong organic growth across all niches within the segment. |
● | Real Estate GWP decreased by 24.7% to $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $80.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The premium contraction is primarily driven by the strategic exit of certain niches within the segment. |
Net written premiums increased by $16.8 million, or 4.9%, to $363.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $346.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net written premiums was primarily related to the growth in GWP due to the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a change in reinsurance structure.
Net earned premiums decreased by $35.4 million, or 9.1%, to $351.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $387.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net earned premiums was directly related to the contraction in net written premiums over the past twelve months.
Loss and LAE Ratio
Our loss and LAE ratio was 62.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 62.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses for accident years 2020 and prior developed unfavorably by $5.7 million driven by $7.5 million unfavorable development in All Other lines, $4.7 million unfavorable development in Commercial Multiple Peril and $2.9 million unfavorable development in Commercial Auto offset by $6.2 million favorable development in Workers’ Compensation, $3.2 million favorable development in General Liability. In addition, the Company incurred $3.9 million

(1) | Earned premiums are adjusted to exclude the impact of reinsurance reinstatement premiums related to catastrophe losses incurred during the period. |
(2) | Catastrophe losses are any one claim, or group of claims, equal or greater than $1.0 million related to a single PCS designated catastrophe event. PCS is Property Claim Services, a Verisk company. PCS has defined catastrophes in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands as events that cause $25.0 million or more in direct insured losses to property and affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers. |
Expense Ratio
Our expense ratio was 37.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 36.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the expense ratio is driven primarily by an increase in the policy acquisition expense ratio of 1.5% due to a shift in the mix of business and changing reinsurance structure.

Underwriting (Loss) Income
Underwriting loss was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an underwriting income of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $6.8 million. The decrease in underwriting income is primarily due to adverse prior period development and the increased policy acquisition expense ratio.
Combined Ratio
Our combined ratio was 100.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 98.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Investing Results
Our net investment income decreased by 4.1% to $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net investment yield was 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Realized investment gains, net increased by $44.3 million to $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020,
41
respectively. The increase is largely driven by the sale of fixed maturity securities to generate cash required to fund the ceding of loss reserves associated with the proposed reinsurance transaction with Cavello Bay.

Interest and Other Expenses, Net
Our interest and other expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily driven by the refinancing of our long term debt at a lower effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 21.4% and 21.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the tax effect of share-based compensation.
Our income tax expense was $15.1 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in income before income taxes compared to the same period in 2020.
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes certain income tax provisions for individuals and corporations; however, these benefits do not impact the Company’s current tax provision.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income was $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 22.6% from the adjusted operating income of $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in underwriting income.
Adjusted Operating Return on Equity
Our adjusted operating return on equity was 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 1.9% percentage points from 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the decrease in adjusted operating income combined with an increase in average book value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
We are organized as a holding company with our operations primarily conducted by our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, New York Marine and Gotham, which are domiciled in New York, and Southwest Marine, which is domiciled in Arizona. Accordingly, the holding company may receive cash through: (i) loans from banks; (ii) draws on a revolving loan agreement; (iii) issuance of equity and debt securities; (iv) corporate service fees from our operating subsidiaries; (v)
42
payments from our subsidiaries pursuant to our consolidated tax allocation agreement and other transactions; and (vi) subject to certain limitations discussed below, dividends from our insurance subsidiaries. We also may use the proceeds from these sources to contribute funds to the insurance subsidiaries in order to support premium growth, reduce our reliance on reinsurance, and pay dividends and taxes and for other business purposes.
We receive corporate service fees from the operating subsidiaries to reimburse us for most of the operating expenses that we incur. Reimbursement of expenses through corporate service fees is based on the actual costs that we expect to incur with no mark-up above our expected costs.
In June 2020, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and Truist Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (“Truist”), providing for a $165.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). In November 2020, the Company used the Term Loan Facility proceeds to repay $165.0 million in complete satisfaction of the outstanding debt under the Notes. (see “— Credit Agreement”).
Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity available to meet its operating cash needs and obligations and committed capital expenditures for the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
The most significant source of cash for our operating subsidiaries is from premiums received from our insureds, which, for most policies, we receive at the beginning of the coverage period, and net of the related commission amount for the policies. Our most significant cash outflow is for claims that arise when a policyholder incurs an insured loss. We also use cash to pay for operating expenses such as salaries, rent and taxes and capital expenditures such as technology systems. Because the payment of claims occurs well after the receipt of the premium, we invest the cash in various investment securities that generally earn interest and dividends. The operating subsidiaries’ investment portfolios represent an additional source of liquidity that could be accessed if needed. As described under “— Reinsurance” below, we use reinsurance to manage the risk that we take on our policies. We cede, or pay out, part of the premiums we receive to our reinsurers and collect cash back when losses subject to our reinsurance coverage are paid.
The casualty-focused nature of our products, and limited property exposures, typically allow us to generate significant operating cash flow. Some of our payments and receipts, including loss settlements and subsequent reinsurance receipts, can be significant, and as a result their timing can influence cash flows from operating activities in any given period. Management believes that cash receipts from premiums, proceeds from investment sales and maturities, and investment income are sufficient to cover cash outflows in the foreseeable future.

Our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were:

The increase in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, was largely driven by the sale of fixed maturity securities to generate cash required to fund the ceding of loss reserves associated with the reinsurance transaction with Cavello Bay.
Credit Agreement
On June 12, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into the Credit Agreement with certain lenders and Truist Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, providing for a $165.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used to refinance the Notes at maturity. As of June 30, 2021, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bore interest at 3.75%, however, in connection with the completion of the Merger, on August 4, 2021, all outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and fees under the Term Loan Facility were repaid and all commitments under the Term Loan Facility were terminated.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 30, 2020, we entered into an incremental facility agreement and amendment (the “Incremental Agreement”) with certain lenders and Truist as administrative agent.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $42.0 million outstanding principal under this facility that bore interest at 3.75%. In connection with the completion of the Merger, however, on August 4, 2021, all outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and fees under this facility were repaid and all commitments under this facility were terminated.
Master Lease Agreement
On June 26, 2020, we sold certain assets, in exchange for approximately $24.9 million of proceeds and agreed to lease such assets back from Citizens Bank (“Citizens”) in exchange for monthly payments bearing interest at 4.83%. The lease expires on July 1, 2025, on which date we will repurchase the assets from Citizens for one dollar. This transaction is treated as a secured loan payable under U.S. GAAP.
Reinsurance
We actively use ceded reinsurance across our book of business to reduce our overall risk position and to protect our capital. Reinsurance involves a primary insurance company transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of its premium and losses in order to limit its exposure. The ceding of liability to a reinsurer does not relieve the obligation of the primary insurance to the policyholder. The primary insurer remains liable for the entire loss if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement. Our reinsurance agreements are primarily contracted under excess of loss agreements. In excess of loss reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume all or a portion of the ceding company’s losses, in excess of a specified amount. In excess of loss reinsurance, the premium payable to the reinsurer is negotiated by the parties based on their assessment of the amount of risk being ceded to the reinsurer because the reinsurer does not share proportionately in the ceding company’s losses.
We use quota share and facultative reinsurance. In quota share reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume a specified percentage of the ceding company’s losses arising out of a defined class of business in exchange for a corresponding percentage of premiums, net of a ceding commission. Facultative coverage refers to a reinsurance contract
44
on individual risks as opposed to a group or class of business. It is used for a variety of reasons, including supplementing the limits provided by the treaty coverage or covering risks or perils excluded from treaty reinsurance.
The following is a summary of our significant in-force excess of loss reinsurance programs as of June 30, 2021:
Line of Business Covered | Reinsurance Coverage | |
Property - per risk | $37.0 million excess of $3.0 million | |
Property - catastrophe | $195.0 million excess of $5.0 million | |
Casualty | Supported Umbrella: $6.0 million excess of $4.0 million | |
Primary Workers' Compensation | $37.0 million excess of $3.0 million | |
Marine | $42.5 million excess of $2.5 million | |
Custom Bonds | $35.0 million excess of $5.0 million |
(1) | Our excess of loss reinsurance reduces the financial impact of a loss occurrence. Our excess of loss reinsurance includes reinstatement provisions, inuring relationships, and other clauses that may impact the amount recovered on a loss occurrence. |
At each annual renewal, we consider any plans to change the underlying insurance coverage we offer, as well as updated loss activity, the level of our capital and surplus, changes in our risk appetite and the cost and availability of reinsurance treaties.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. Failure of the reinsurer to honor its obligations could result in losses to us, and therefore, we establish allowances for amounts considered uncollectible. The allowance related to credit default with respect to our reinsurance assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively. In formulating our reinsurance programs, we are selective in our choice of reinsurers and we consider numerous factors, the most important of which are the financial stability of the reinsurer, its history of responding to claims and its overall reputation. In an effort to minimize our exposure to the insolvency of our reinsurers, we review the financial condition of each reinsurer annually. In addition, we continually monitor for rating downgrades involving any of our reinsurers.
Ratings
ProSight and its insurance subsidiaries have a financial strength rating of “A-” (Excellent) from A.M. Best. A.M. Best assigns 16 ratings to insurance companies, which currently range from “A++” (Superior) to “F” (In Liquidation). The “A-” (Excellent) rating is assigned to insurers that have, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. This rating is intended to provide an independent opinion of an insurer’s ability to meet its obligation to policyholders and is not an evaluation directed at investors. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—A downgrade in our Financial Strength Ratings (“FSRs”) from A.M. Best could negatively affect our results of operations.”
The financial strength ratings assigned by A.M. Best have an impact on the ability of the insurance subsidiaries to attract and retain our distribution partners and on the risk profiles of the submissions for insurance that the insurance subsidiaries receive. The “A-” (Excellent) rating affirmed by A.M. Best on December 17, 2020 is consistent with our business plan and allows us to actively pursue relationships with the distribution partners identified in our marketing plan.
Financial Condition
Stockholders’ Equity
At June 30, 2021, total stockholders’ equity was $621.0 million and tangible stockholders’ equity was $603.8 million, compared to total stockholders’ equity of $624.0 million and tangible stockholders’ equity of $606.7 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in both total and tangible stockholders’ equity was primarily due a reduction in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, net of tax of $58.0 million, offset by net income from continuing operations of $51.7 million.
45
Tangible stockholders’ equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define tangible stockholders’ equity as stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Our definition of tangible stockholders’ equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for stockholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible stockholders’ equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure.
Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 reconciles to tangible stockholders’ equity as follows:

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, and the lenders may have the right to put the securities back to the borrower.

Restricted Investments
In order to conduct business in certain states, we are required to maintain letters of credit or assets on deposit to support state-mandated insurance regulatory requirements and to comply with certain third-party agreements. Assets held on deposit or in trust accounts are primarily in the form of cash or certain high-grade securities.
The fair value of our restricted assets was $485.0 million at June 30, 2021. This includes $76.0 million of funds in trust for the mutual benefit of our insurance companies due to participation in our intercompany pooling agreement. Restricted investments decreased 1.0%, or $4.8 million, when compared to December 31, 2020 primarily due to decreases in interest rates that led to market appreciation for fixed maturity securities during the quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021.
As part of the 2017 sale transaction to divest our U.K. business, we entered into Aggregate Stop-Loss and 100% Quota Share reinsurance agreements as reinsurer, with Lloyd’s Syndicate 1110 as our reinsured and committed to fund Lloyd’s Syndicate 1110’s “Funds At Lloyd’s” requirements until June 30, 2020. The facility has a principal amount of £17.7 million and contains certain covenants that require us, among other items, to maintain a minimum net worth, to remain within maximum leverage ratios, meet a minimum risk based capital ratio and maintain specified liquidity levels. The requirement for us to provide the Funds At Lloyd’s were expected to terminate by June 30, 2020. However, the buyer disputed its contractual obligation with respect to substituting our Funds At Lloyd’s at that time. In February 2021, a U.K. court granted summary judgment in our favor requiring the buyer to substitute our Funds At Lloyds. The buyer is in the process of substituting our Funds At Lloyd’s
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of Underwriting Income
Underwriting (loss) income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful in evaluating our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. Underwriting (loss) income represents the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting losses and LAE and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums. We use underwriting (loss) income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives us and users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Underwriting (loss) income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may calculate underwriting (loss) income differently.
Net income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 reconciles to underwriting (loss) income as follows:

Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and underlying business performance, by excluding items that are not part of

our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future. Adjusted operating income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for our net income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted operating income differently.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We identified the accounting estimates which are critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those estimates that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to exercise significant judgment. We use significant judgment concerning future results and developments in applying these critical accounting estimates and in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These judgments and estimates affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of our material contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates regularly using information that we believe to be relevant. For a detailed discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data in the 2020 Annual Report.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the information about market risk set forth in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic SEC filings is made known to them in a timely manner.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
50
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.
Part II: Other Information
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
We are party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the outcome of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.
Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
