Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report"), as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made by us, contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including those regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, products, services, and technology offerings, market conditions, growth and trends, expansion plans and opportunities, and our objectives for future operations. The words "anticipate," "believe," "envision," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," "ongoing," "contemplate," and similar expressions, and the negative of these expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our "Annual Report"), which highlight, among other risks our ability to:
•compete effectively within our industry and attract and retain our insurance policyholders and paid HDC subscribers (collectively, "Members");
•maintain key strategic relationships with our insurance distribution and underwriting carrier partners;
•prevent, monitor, and detect fraudulent activity;
•manage risks associated with disruptions, interruptions, outages or other issues with our technology platforms or our use of third-party services;
•accelerate the adoption of our membership products as well as any new insurance programs and products we offer;
•manage the cyclical nature of the insurance business, including through any periods of recession, economic downturn or inflation;
•address unexpected increases in the frequency or severity of claims;
•comply with the numerous laws and regulations applicable to our business, including state, federal and foreign laws relating to insurance and rate increases, privacy, the internet, and accounting matters;
•manage risks associated with being a controlled company; and
•successfully defend any litigation, government inquiries, and investigations.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Hagerty, Inc.
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms "Hagerty," and "the Company" refer to Hagerty, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including The Hagerty Group, LLC ("THG") unless the context requires otherwise. In addition, the Company's insurance policyholders and paid Hagerty Drivers Club ("HDC") subscribers are collectively referred to herein as "Members".
Description of Business — Hagerty is a market leader in providing insurance for classic cars and enthusiast vehicles. Through Hagerty's insurance model, the Company acts as a Managing General Agent ("MGA") by underwriting, selling, and servicing classic car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies. The Company then reinsures a large portion of the risks written by its MGA subsidiaries through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hagerty Reinsurance Limited ("Hagerty Re"). In addition, Hagerty offers HDC memberships, which can be bundled with its insurance policies and give subscribers access to an array of products and services, including Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, Hagerty's proprietary vehicle valuation tool, emergency roadside assistance, and special vehicle-related discounts. Lastly, to complement its insurance membership offerings, the Company offers Hagerty Marketplace ("Marketplace"), where car enthusiasts can buy, sell, and finance collector cars.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Basis of Presentation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Hagerty, Inc., which is comprised of THG and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as permitted by such rules and regulations.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain the accounts of Hagerty, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Hagerty, Inc. had economic ownership of 24.9% of THG and is its sole managing member. Hagerty, Inc. reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in THG held by other parties.
The financial statements of THG are consolidated by the Company under the voting interest method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidations ("ASC 810"). Non-controlling interest is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Stockholders' Equity.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities — Broad Arrow Capital LLC ("BAC") and certain of its subsidiaries transfer notes receivable to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entities (each, an "SPE") to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt).
These SPEs are considered to be variable interest entities (each, a "VIE") under GAAP and their financial statements are consolidated by BAC, which is the primary beneficiary of the SPEs and is also a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. BAC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because it has (i) power over the significant activities of the SPEs through its role as servicer of the notes receivable used to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through its interest in the residual cash flows of the SPEs.
Refer to Note 3 — Notes Receivable and Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated variable interest entities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Emerging Growth Company — The Company currently qualifies as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies.
The Company intends to avail itself of this extended transition period and, therefore, the Company may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or have opted out of using such extended transition period. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not delayed the adoption of any new or revised accounting standards despite qualifying as an emerging growth company.
Reclassifications — Certain prior period operating lease balances on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows originally reported within changes in "Other assets and liabilities, net" are now reported within "Non-cash lease expense" to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are considered reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including incurred but not reported claims (see Note 8); (ii) the valuation of the Company's deferred income tax assets (see Note 17); (iii) the amount of the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") (see Note 17); (iv) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (v) the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets (see Note 7); and (vi) the fair value of the Company's warrant liabilities (see Note 11). Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the current estimates are reasonable in all material respects. These estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted as necessary. Adjustments related to changes in estimates are reflected in the Company’s results of operations in the period during which those estimates changed.
Segment Information — The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on consolidated financial information. The Company’s segment presentation reflects a management approach that utilizes a decision making framework with its Members and customers at the center of all decisions, which requires the CODM to have a consolidated view of the Company's results.
Foreign Currency Translation — The Company translates its foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into United States ("U.S.") dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and foreign currency denominated income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in "Foreign currency translation adjustments", a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized within "Interest and other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes — In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (ASC 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign), and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU No. 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The effective date of ASU No. 2023-09 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still assessing the impact of ASU No. 2023-09 and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosure in the footnotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Reporting — In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enables investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows through improved reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The effective date of ASU 2023-07 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
2 — Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue — The tables below present Hagerty's revenue by distribution channel, as well as a reconciliation to total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Commission and fee revenue and contingent underwriting commission ("CUC") revenue earned from the agent distribution channel includes revenue generated through Hagerty's relationships with independent agents and brokers. Commission and fee revenue and CUC revenue earned from the direct distribution channel includes revenue generated by Hagerty's employee agents.
Historically, the Company's MGA subsidiaries have earned a base commission of approximately 32% of written premium, as well as an additional contingent commission of up to 10% annually. In December 2023, the Company's alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel Group, Inc. ("Markel") was amended to increase the base commission rate on the personal lines U.S. auto business to 37% and to adjust the contingent commission to range from -5% to a maximum of +5% of annual written premium. This amendment resulted in a smaller proportion of total revenue being attributable to contingent commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Contract Assets and Liabilities — The following table is a summary of the Company's contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |

| in thousands |
Contract assets | $ | 8,017 | | | $ | 75,891 | |
Contract liabilities | $ | 48,165 | | | $ | 47,651 | |
Contract assets, which are reported within "Commissions receivable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of CUC receivables, which are earned throughout the year and have historically been settled by a cash payment from the insurance carrier in the first quarter of the following year. As a result of its amended alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel, beginning in 2024, 80% of the CUC receivables from Markel are now being settled monthly rather than on an annual basis. This amendment resulted in a significant decrease in the contract assets balance compared to the prior year.
Contract liabilities consist of cash collected in advance of revenue recognition and primarily includes the unrecognized portion of HDC membership fees, as well as the unrecognized portion of the advanced commission payment received from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm"). Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information regarding the Company's master alliance agreement with State Farm.
3 — Notes Receivable
BAC provides financing solutions to qualified collectors and businesses by structuring loans secured by collector cars. The loans underwritten by BAC include term loans and short-term bridge financings. BAC also provides advances to consignors who agree to sell their cars via auction or private sale through subsidiaries of Broad Arrow Group, Inc. ("Broad Arrow"). The loans underwritten by BAC are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Notes receivable" while consignor advances are recorded within "Other current assets".
Loans carry either a fixed or variable rate of interest and typically have an initial maturity of up to two years, often with an option for the borrower to renew for one year increments, provided the borrower remains in good standing, including maintaining a specified targeted loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio for the loan. The carrying value of the BAC loan portfolio approximates its fair value due to the relatively short-term maturities and the market rates of interest associated with most loans.
In certain situations, BAC makes loans to refinance accounts receivable balances generated by Broad Arrow auction or private sale purchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, BAC issued $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of such loans. These loans are accounted for on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as non-cash reclassifications between "Accounts receivable" and "Notes receivable" and are, therefore, not presented within Investing Activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Upon repayment, the cash received in settlement of such loans is classified within Operating Activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, such repayments totaled $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Beginning in December 2023, a portion of the lending activities of BAC are funded with borrowings drawn from the BAC Credit Facility, with the remainder funded by the Company's available liquidity. Prior to December 2023, the lending activities of BAC were funded primarily by the Company's available liquidity. Refer to Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information regarding the BAC Credit Facility.
BAC aims to mitigate the risk associated with a potential devaluation in collateral by targeting a maximum LTV ratio of 65% (i.e., the principal loan amount divided by the estimated value of the collateral at the time of underwriting). The LTV ratio is reassessed on a quarterly basis or if the loan is renewed. The LTV ratio is reassessed more frequently if there is a material change in the circumstances related to the loan, including if there is a material change in the value of the collateral, a material change in the borrower's disposal plans for the collateral, or if an event of default occurs. If, as a result of this reassessment, the LTV ratio increases above the target level, the borrower may be asked to make principal payments and/or post sufficient additional collateral to reduce the LTV ratio as a condition of future financing, renewal, or to avoid a default. In the event of a default by a borrower, BAC is entitled to sell the collateral to recover the outstanding principal, accrued interest balance, and any expenses incurred with respect to the recovery process.
Management considers the valuation of the underlying collateral and the LTV ratio as the two most critical credit quality indicators for the loans made by BAC. In estimating the value of the underlying collateral for BAC's loans, management utilizes its expertise in the collector car market and considers an array of factors impacting the current and expected sale value of each car including the year, make, model, mileage, history, and in the case of classic cars, the provenance, quality of restoration (if applicable), the originality of the body, chassis, and mechanical components, and comparable market transaction values.
The repayment of BAC's loans can be adversely impacted by a decline in the collector car market in general or in the value of the collateral, which may be concentrated within certain marques, vintages, or types of cars. In addition, in situations when BAC’s claim on the collateral is subject to a legal process, the ability to realize proceeds from the collateral may be limited or delayed.
As of March 31, 2024, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $60.9 million, of which $56.5 million was classified within current assets and $4.4 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $52.9 million, of which $35.9 million was classified within current assets and $17.0 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The classification of a loan as current or long-term takes into account the contractual maturity date of the loan, as well as known renewals after the balance sheet date.
The table below provides the aggregate LTV ratio for BAC's loan portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, | | December 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| | | |
| in thousands |
Secured loans | $ | 60,947 | | | $ | 52,914 | |
Estimate of collateral value | $ | 112,299 | | | $ | 108,496 | |
Aggregate LTV ratio | 54.3 | % | | 48.8 | % |
As of March 31, 2024, two borrowers had loan balances that exceeded 10% of the total loan portfolio. These loans total $24.6 million, representing 40% of the total loan portfolio. The collateral related to these loans was $47.2 million, resulting in an aggregate LTV ratio of 52%.
Management considers a loan to be past due when an interest payment is not paid within 10 business days of the monthly due date, or if the principal amount is not repaid by the contractual maturity date. Typically, a loan becomes past due only for a short period of time during which the loan is renewed or collateral is sold to satisfy the borrower's obligations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of past due principal and interest payments was not material.
A non-accrual loan is a loan for which future interest income is not recorded due to management’s determination that it is probable that future interest on the loan will not be collectible. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of non-accrual loans was not material.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for expected credit losses related to the BAC loan portfolio was not material based on management’s quarterly risk assessment, which takes into consideration a number of factors including the level of historical losses for similar loans, the quality of the collateral, the low LTV ratio of the loans, management's overall assessment of the current circumstances and risks related to each loan, and, to a lesser extent, the circumstances related to each borrower.

Ceded Reinsurance
Hagerty Re purchases catastrophe reinsurance to protect its capital from large catastrophic events and to provide earnings protection and stability. Hagerty Re renegotiated its catastrophe reinsurance coverage effective January 1, 2024, with terms and limits similar to 2023. The 2024 catastrophe reinsurance program for accounts with total insured values ("TIV") of up to $5.0 million affords coverage in excess of a per event retention of $28.0 million in two layers; $22.0 million excess of $28.0 million, and $55.0 million excess of $50.0 million for a total of $105.0 million.
In 2023, Hagerty Re had quota share agreements with various reinsurers to cede 70% of its physical damage exposure on U.S. accounts written or renewed with TIV equal to or greater than $5.0 million ("High-Net-Worth Accounts"). These High-Net-Worth Accounts are assumed 100% from a wholly owned subsidiary of Markel. Effective January 1, 2024, Hagerty Re is ceding 100% of its High-Net-Worth Accounts physical damage exposure via quota share agreements with various reinsurers. Some of the reinsurers involved in these quota share agreements are related parties. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.
Hagerty Re receives ceding commissions related to premiums ceded under reinsurance contracts related to High-Net-Worth Accounts. Ceding commissions are recognized ratably over the terms of the related policies, which are generally 12 months, and are recorded within "Ceding commissions, net" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred portions of ceding commissions received are included in "Deferred acquisition costs, net" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve Hagerty Re from its primary liability to the ceding carriers according to the terms of its reinsurance treaties. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in additional losses to Hagerty Re. Hagerty Re evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers. All of Hagerty Re's reinsurers have an A.M. Best rating of A- (Excellent) or better, or fully collateralize their maximum obligation under the treaty.
10 — Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges
In the first quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in force (the "2023 RIF") following a strategic review of business processes as the Company focuses on driving efficiencies in order to achieve growth and profitability goals. As a result, the Company recognized $5.5 million within "Restructuring, impairment and related charges, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These charges consisted of $5.1 million of severance-related costs associated with the 2023 RIF and a $0.4 million impairment charge to write-down the value of certain digital media content assets. As of December 31, 2023, all liabilities associated with the 2023 RIF were settled.
11 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company's recurring significant fair value measurements primarily relate to interest rate swaps, warrant liabilities, and fixed income investments. The Company uses valuation techniques based on inputs such as observable data, independent market data, and/or unobservable data. Additionally, the Company makes assumptions in valuing its assets and liabilities, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques.
The Company classifies fair value measurements within one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy. The level assigned to a fair value measurement is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input requires judgment. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
•Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to measure the asset or liability at fair value.
The Company's policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels, if any, at the end of the reporting period.
Recurring fair value measurements
Interest rate swaps
Interest rate swap agreements are used to fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company's existing variable rate debt to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense within "Interest and other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had one outstanding interest rate swap, which was entered into in December 2020, with an original notional amount of $35.0 million, a fixed swap rate of 0.81%, and maturity in December 2025. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap is included within either "Other long-term assets" or "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company designated its outstanding interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company also assessed, at the hedge's inception and will continue to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the interest rate swap was highly effective in offsetting variability in the cash flows of the variable rate borrowings. The hedge is deemed effective, and therefore, the change in fair value is recorded within "Derivative instruments" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). In the event the cash flow hedge is no longer deemed effective, such amounts would be reclassified into interest expense, net from "Other comprehensive income (loss)". There were no such reclassifications during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect to have a reclassification into earnings within the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest swap was in an asset position and had a fair value of $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Interest rate swaps are determined to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of interest rate swaps, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") forward curve, are considered observable market inputs. The Company monitors the credit and nonperformance risk associated with its counterparty and believes them to be insignificant.
Warrant liabilities
The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(1) The Public Warrants may be exercised on a cash only basis and expire in December 2026.
(2) The Private Placement Warrants, Underwriter Warrants, and PIPE Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and expire in December 2026.
(3) The OTM Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and expire in December 2031.
The Company's Public Warrants are Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy as they are measured utilizing quoted market prices. The Company's Private Placement Warrants, Underwriter Warrants, OTM Warrants, and PIPE Warrants are Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of these warrants. The Company’s Monte Carlo simulation model includes assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate.
The following table summarizes the significant inputs used in the valuation model for the Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Inputs | | Private Placement Warrants | | Underwriter Warrants | | OTM Warrants | | PIPE Warrants |

Risk-free rate | | 4.50% | | 4.50% | | 4.20% | | 4.50% |
Dividend yield | | —% | | —% | | —% | | —% |
The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on factors including, but not limited to, implied volatility of the Public Warrants, the historical performance of comparable companies, and management's understanding of the volatility associated with similar instruments of other entities.
The risk-free rate is based on the yield of the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity for a term that approximates the expected remaining life of the warrants, which is assumed to be the remaining contractual term.
The dividend rate is based on the Company’s historical rate, which is expected to remain at zero.

Fixed Income Investments
The Company has fixed income investments that consist of Canadian Sovereign, Provincial and Municipal fixed income securities held in a trust account to meet the requirements of a third-party insurer in connection with Hagerty Re's reinsurance agreement. These fixed income investments are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. The Company has determined that its fixed income investments are Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as these investments are valued using observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date. The critical credit quality indicator for the fixed income investments is the credit ratings of the issuer. Management considers all of the fixed income investments currently held by Hagerty Re to be investment grade. The fixed income investments are included within "Other current assets" and "Other long-term assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table discloses the fair value and related carrying amount of fixed income investments held within Hagerty Re as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total | $ | 17,953 | | | $ | 17,773 | | | $ | 16,472 | | | $ | 16,262 | |
Each reporting period, management reviews the credit rating of each security to ensure it is considered investment grade. Based on the factors outlined above, as of March 31, 2024, the Company does not expect any credit losses related to the fixed income investments and therefore there is no allowance for credit losses recorded. The Company did not record any gains or losses on these securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

JPM Credit Facility
THG has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, as amended (the "JPM Credit Agreement"). The JPM Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "JPM Credit Facility") with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $230.0 million. The JPM Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental facility under which the Company may request one or more increases in the amount of the commitments available under the JPM Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. Additionally, the JPM Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $25.0 million and borrowings in the British Pound and Euro of up to $40.0 million in the aggregate. The JPM Credit Agreement matures in October 2026, but may be extended if agreed to by the Company and the lenders party thereto. Any unpaid balance on the JPM Credit Facility is due at maturity.
The JPM Credit Facility accrues interest at the applicable reference rate, primarily Term SOFR, depending on the currency of the borrowing plus an applicable margin determined by the Company's net leverage ratio for the preceding period (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement). The effective interest rate related to the JPM Credit Facility was 6.81% and 7.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
JPM Credit Facility borrowings are collateralized by assets and equity interests in THG and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for (i) the assets held by the SPEs related to the BAC Credit Facility and (ii) all or a portion of foreign and certain excluded or immaterial subsidiaries.
Under the JPM Credit Agreement, THG is required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement), including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the JPM Credit Agreement.
BAC Credit Facility
In December 2023, BAC and its wholly owned subsidiary BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC, as borrower, entered into a revolving credit facility with a certain lender (the "BAC Credit Agreement"). The BAC Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "BAC Credit Facility"), which has an aggregate borrowing capacity of $75.0 million and is subject to a borrowing base that is determined by a calculation that is primarily based upon a percentage of the carrying value of certain BAC notes receivable. As of March 31, 2024, the applicable borrowing base for the BAC Credit Agreement was $29.2 million.
The revolving borrowing period provided by the BAC Credit Agreement expires on December 21, 2025 and the BAC Credit Agreement matures on December 21, 2026. The revolving borrowing period and the maturity date of the BAC Credit Agreement may be extended by one year if requested by BAC and agreed to by the administrative agent. BAC is not a borrower or guarantor of the BAC Credit Facility.
In connection with the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and certain of its subsidiaries transfer certain notes receivable originated by BAC and certain of its subsidiaries to wholly owned, bankruptcy remote SPEs to secure the borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement. These SPEs have the limited purpose of acquiring notes receivable or a certificate representing beneficial ownership interest therein from BAC and certain of its subsidiaries. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. BAC continues to service the notes receivable transferred to the SPEs.
Recourse to the Company and its subsidiaries that originated and transferred notes receivable that represent collateral under the BAC Credit Facility is limited to (i) an obligation of the applicable seller to repurchase a note receivable if it is determined that there was a breach of any representation or warranty relating to such note receivable as of the relevant date specified in the related transfer agreement and (ii) a limited guarantee covering certain liabilities that may result under certain foreign exchange hedging activity of one of the SPEs.
Under the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC are required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants, including the requirement of BAC, as the servicer, to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity balances, and an indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BAC Credit Agreement.
State Farm Term Loan
In September 2023, Hagerty Re entered into an unsecured term loan credit facility with State Farm in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the "State Farm Term Loan"). The State Farm Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and will mature in September 2033. State Farm is a related party to the Company. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.
Notes Payable
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding notes payable, which are used to fund certain loans made by BAC in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), totaling $6.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The effective interest rates for these notes payable range from 7.0% to 9.8% with repayment due between October 2024 and August 2025. Refer to Note 3 — Notes Receivable for additional information on the lending activities of BAC.
Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2024, the Company has authorized three letters of credit for a total of $11.1 million for operational purposes related to Hagerty Re's Section 953(d) tax structuring election and lease down payment support.
13 — Convertible Preferred Stock
In June 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which it closed, issued and sold (the "Closing") to the Investors an aggregate of 8,483,561 shares of the Company's newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $80.0 million, at a per-share purchase price of $9.43 (the "Series A Purchase Price" and the transaction, the "Private Placement").
The Investors include State Farm, Markel, and persons related to Hagerty Holding Corp. ("HHC"). State Farm and Markel are both significant stockholders of the Company, each holding in excess of 5% of the outstanding common stock. McKeel Hagerty is the Company's CEO and the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Hagerty and Tammy Hagerty may be deemed to control HHC, which is the controlling stockholder of the Company. Prior to and continuing after the Private Placement, each of State Farm and Markel have the right to nominate one director to the Company’s Board of Directors and HHC has the right to nominate two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. Refer to Note 14 — Stockholders' Equity and Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.
The net proceeds from the Private Placement, after deducting issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million, were $79.2 million, which was recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is using the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2024, the estimated redemption value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $123.4 million, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid if the Optional Term Redemption provision in the Certificate of Designations, as summarized below, is exercised as of the earliest possible redemption date of June 23, 2028. The decision to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash is made at the discretion of the Company; however, the Company is controlled by HHC through its voting control of the Company. Accordingly, the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is considered outside the control of the Company and, as a result, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has elected to apply the accretion method to adjust the carrying value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value. Amounts recognized to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend and are recorded as a reduction to "Additional paid-in capital". The estimated redemption value may vary in subsequent periods and the Company has elected to recognize such changes prospectively.
The captioned sections below provide a summary of the material terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations").
Ranking — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Class A Common Stock, the Class V Common Stock and each other class or series of shares of the Company that the Company may issue in the future the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks equally with, or senior to, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution.
Dividends — Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 7% of the Series A Purchase Price of each share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually (the "Accruing Dividends"). The Company may elect to pay the Accruing Dividends either in cash or in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will participate on an as-converted basis in dividends declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock.
Conversion — Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is initially $11.79 and is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including a stock split, a reverse stock split, or a dividend of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock to the Company’s common stockholders (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price"). The Company may require such conversion (i) if the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock, for at least twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days, exceeds: (a) on or after the third and prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing, 150% of the Conversion Price; or (b) on or after the seventh and prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing, 100% of the Conversion Price; and (ii) on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing. The conversion rate in effect at any applicable time (the "Conversion Rate") is the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A Purchase Price by the Conversion Price.
As of March 31, 2024, no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted and the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 6,785,410 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Voting — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class. The Investors have veto rights over (i) changes to the terms of the Certificate of Designations or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws that adversely impact the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the issuance of equity securities senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or other securities convertible thereto.
Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid the greater of (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, and (ii) the amount that such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the "Liquidation Preference"). After payment of the Liquidation Preference, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will no longer be convertible and will not participate in any distribution made to the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock.
Change of Control — Upon a merger, consolidation, sale or other change of control transaction as described in the Certificate of Designations (a "Change of Control"), either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the greater of: (a) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by (i) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing, 120%; (ii) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, 110%; (iii) if after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, 100%; and (b) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock prior to the Change of Control. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are not so redeemed will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock and be paid in connection with the Change of Control.
Fundamental Transaction — In the event of any acquisition by the Company with a transaction value of at least $500.0 million or any equity or debt financing by the Company that raises at least $500.0 million, either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing, 120%; (b) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, 110%; (c) if after the fifth but prior to or on the sixth anniversary of the Closing, 108%; (d) if after the sixth but prior to or on the seventh anniversary of the Closing, 106%; (e) if after the seventh but prior to or on the eighth anniversary of the Closing, 104%; (f) if after the eighth but prior to or on the ninth anniversary of the Closing, 102%; or (g) if after the ninth anniversary of the Closing, 100%.
Optional Term Redemption — Any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash (a "Term Redemption"). The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be equal to the greater of: (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if after the fifth but prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing, 110%; (b) if on or after the sixth but prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing, 108%; (c) if on or after the seventh but prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing, 106%; (d) if on or after the eighth but prior to the ninth anniversary of the Closing, 104%; (e) if on or after the ninth but prior to tenth anniversary of the Closing, 102%; or (f) if on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing, 100%; and (ii) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into Class A Common Stock prior to the Term Redemption.
Registration Rights Agreement — In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which, the Investors will be entitled to certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.

In connection with the business combination that formed Hagerty, Inc. in 2021, Hagerty issued shares of Class V Common Stock to HHC and Markel (together, the "Legacy Unit Holders") along with an equivalent number of THG units, as discussed below. Each share of Class V Common Stock, together with the corresponding unit of THG, is exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 251,033,906 shares of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Preferred Stock — Hagerty is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Hagerty's Board of Directors has the authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time.
In June 2023, the Company issued 8,483,561 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $80.0 million, at a per-share purchase price of $9.43. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 8,483,561 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Refer to Note 13 — Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information.
Non-controlling Interests — Hagerty, Inc. is the sole managing member of THG and, as a result, consolidates the financial statements of THG into its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Hagerty, Inc. reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in THG held by other unit holders of THG. Each THG unit and, if applicable, the associated share of Class V Common Stock, is exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock.
The following table summarizes the ownership of THG units as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |

THG units held by Hagerty, Inc. | 84,655,539 | | | 24.9 | % | | 84,588,536 | | 24.9 | % |
THG units held by other unit holders | 255,499,164 | | | 75.1 | % | | 255,499,164 | | | 75.1 | % |
Total | 340,154,703 | | | 100.0 | % | | 340,087,700 | | | 100.0 | % |
In connection with the Private Placement, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of THG was amended and restated in the form of a Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, to, among other things, create a new series of preferred units within THG ("THG Preferred Units"), which are all held by Hagerty, Inc., to parallel the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. THG Preferred Units are recorded on the standalone unconsolidated financial statements of THG at their estimated redemption value, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid to Hagerty, Inc. upon a Term Redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Amounts recognized to accrete the THG Preferred Units to their estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend due to Hagerty, Inc. The amount of this deemed dividend is attributed entirely to Hagerty, Inc. prior to allocating the remainder of THG's net income between controlling and non-controlling interests. Refer to Note 13 — Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information on the Private Placement and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
At the end of each reporting period, THG equity attributable to Hagerty, Inc. and the non-controlling unit holders, respectively, is reallocated to reflect their current ownership in THG.
15 — Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated under the Two-Class Method using Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using diluted Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
The Company's potentially dilutive securities consist of (i) unexercised warrants, unvested share-based compensation awards, and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan, with the dilutive effect calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, and (ii) non-controlling interest units of THG and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with the dilutive effect calculated using the more dilutive of the If-Converted Method and the Two-Class Method.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

16 — Share-Based Compensation
The Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to approximately 38.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock to employees and non-employee directors. The 2021 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 29.0 million shares available for future grants under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
Share-based compensation expense related to employees is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Salaries and benefits" and, to a much lesser extent, when applicable, "Restructuring, impairment and related charges, net." Share-based compensation expense related to non-employee directors is recognized within "General and administrative services." The Company recognizes forfeitures of share-based compensation awards in the period in which they occur.
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Restricted Stock Units
RSU grants typically vest over a two to five-year period. The grant date fair value is determined based on the closing market price of the Class A Common Stock on the business day prior to the grant date. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $7.80. There were no RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The tax impact related to vested RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due to the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG.
Unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs as of March 31, 2024 was $27.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 3.38 years.
The following table provides a summary of the RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Restricted Stock Units | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |

Performance Restricted Stock Units
Market Condition Award
In April 2022, the CEO was granted 3,707,136 performance-based RSUs ("PRSUs"), which provide him the opportunity to receive up to 3,707,136 shares of Class A Common Stock. The award had a grant date fair value of approximately $19.2 million, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PRSUs have both market-based and service-based vesting conditions. Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under this award can be earned based on the achievement of the following stock price targets: (i) 25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $20.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, (ii) 25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $25.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, and (iii) 50% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $30.00 per share for 60 consecutive days. These market-based conditions must be met in order for these performance-based RSUs to vest, and it is therefore possible that no shares will ultimately vest. If the market-based conditions are met, shares of Class A Common Stock earned will vest over the earlier of three years after achievement of the stock price target or the end of the seven-year performance period. The Company will recognize the entire $19.2 million of compensation expense for this award over the requisite service period, regardless of whether such market-based conditions are met. As of March 31, 2024, no PRSUs granted under this plan had vested.
The following table summarizes the assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of PRSUs awarded in April 2022:
| | | | | | | | |
Inputs | | Performance Restricted Stock Units |
Weighted average grant-date fair value per share | | $5.19 |
Expected stock volatility | | 35% |
Expected term (in years) | | 7.0 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 2.5% |
Dividend yield | | —% |
Performance Condition Awards
On March 29, 2024, the Talent, Culture, and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors adopted a new form of Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the "2024 PRSU Agreement") to be used for awards of PRSUs to certain employees under the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
PRSUs granted under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be eligible to vest subject to the satisfaction of both performance-based and time-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting condition will be satisfied contingent upon the Company's level of performance over the designated performance period (the "Performance Period") as measured against the target performance goals for the Performance Period (the "Performance Target"), each as determined by the Compensation Committee. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee will determine the applicable attained performance levels with payout percentages ranging from 35% to 200% (each, a "Payout Percentage") of the target number of PRSUs awarded. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2024 PRSU Agreement) before the end of a scheduled Performance Period, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to end the Performance Period early and measure performance levels as of a revised measurement date.
When both the time-based and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied, the PRSU holder will be entitled to receive that number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, if any, determined by multiplying the aggregate number of PRSUs subject to the applicable PRSU Agreement by the applicable Payout Percentage that corresponds to the level of achievement of the performance goals pursuant to the payout formula approved by the Compensation Committee.
The amount of compensation expense recognized for PRSUs issued under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be dependent upon management's assessment of the likelihood of achieving the applicable payout levels. If, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a greater number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to increase compensation expense is recorded in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a lower number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to decrease compensation expense is recorded in the period such determination is made.
As of March 31, 2024, no PRSUs had been issued under the 2024 PRSU Agreement.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") allows substantially all of the Company's employees to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. The ESPP allows purchases of Class A Common Stock to be made at a discount of up to 15% and for the purchase price to occur at the lesser of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on (i) the offering date and (ii) the applicable purchase date. The Company's two previous offering periods offered discounts of 10% and 5%. Employees are allowed to terminate their participation in the ESPP at any time during the purchase period prior to the purchase of shares. As of March 31, 2024, 197,819 shares had been purchased under the ESPP and there were approximately 11.3 million shares available for future purchases.
17 — Taxation
United States — With the exception of certain U.S. corporate and foreign subsidiaries, THG is taxed as a pass-through ownership structure under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and a similar section of state income tax law. As such, any taxable income or loss generated by THG is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of THG unit holders, including Hagerty, Inc. Hagerty, Inc. is taxed as a corporation under the IRC and pays corporate, federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from THG. Hagerty, Inc., Hagerty Re, Broad Arrow, Hagerty Radwood, Inc., and various foreign subsidiaries are treated as taxable entities and income taxes are provided where applicable.
The Company has a TRA with the Legacy Unit Holders that requires the Company to pay 85% of the tax savings that are realized as a result of increases in the tax basis in THG's assets as a result of an exchange of THG units and Class V Common Stock for Class A Common Stock or cash. See "Tax Receivable Agreement Liability" below for additional information.
Canada — Hagerty's Canadian entities are taxed as non-resident corporations and subject to income tax in Canada under provisions of the Canadian Revenue Agency.
United Kingdom — Hagerty's U.K. entities are taxed as corporations and subject to income tax in the U.K. under provisions of HM Revenue & Customs.
Bermuda — Hagerty Re made an irrevocable election under Section 953(d) of the U.S. IRC, as amended, to be taxed as a U.S. domestic corporation. As a result, Hagerty Re is subject to U.S. taxation on its world-wide income as if it were a U.S. corporation. In accordance with an agreement between Hagerty Re and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS'), Hagerty Re established an irrevocable letter of credit with the IRS in 2021.
Tax Legislation — The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as "Pillar 2"), with certain aspects of Pillar 2 effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025. While its uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. The Company is still assessing the impact of Pillar 2.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) — Income tax expense (benefit) reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements differs from the tax computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal rate of 21% to "Income (loss) before income tax expense" as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets — As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has deferred tax assets of $144.0 million and $146.0 million, respectively, related to the difference between the outside tax basis and book basis of its investment in the assets of THG. The Company's deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management believes it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After considering all positive and negative evidence of taxable income in the carryback and carryforward periods, as permitted by law, the Company believes it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG, will not be realized. As a result, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $169.2 million and $169.6 million against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In the event that management subsequently determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets in the future over the recorded amount, a decrease to the valuation allowance will be made, which will reduce the provision for income taxes.
Tax Examinations — The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as many state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2024, tax years 2020 to 2023 are subject to examination by various tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of March 31, 2024, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations for years before 2020. THG is currently under audit by the IRS for the 2021 tax year.
The Canadian Revenue Agency examination of the Company for the 2018 tax year was closed as of March 31, 2024 with no changes to previously filed tax returns.
Uncertain Tax Positions — The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.
The Company records uncertain tax benefits ("UTB") as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when management's conclusion changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the UTB liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and had no material accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. If recorded, interest and penalties would be recorded within "Income tax expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability — The TRA provides for payment to the Legacy Unit Holders of 85% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by Hagerty, Inc. as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits as outlined in the Business Combination Agreement (provided as Exhibit 2.1, incorporated by reference within Item 6. Exhibits, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) upon the exchange of THG units and Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock or cash. THG made an election under Section 754 of the IRC with the filing of its 2019 income tax return, which cannot be revoked without the permission of the IRS Commissioner and will be in place for any future exchange of THG units. The remaining 15% cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by Hagerty, Inc.
The amount and timing of any payments under the TRA will vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the increase in tax basis of THG's assets, the timing of any future redemptions, exchanges or purchases of THG units held by Legacy Unit Holders, the price of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock at the time of the purchase, redemption, or exchange, the extent to which redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income that Hagerty, Inc. generates in the future, the tax rates then applicable and the portion of the payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. The estimated value of the TRA recorded by the Company within "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was limited by the ability to currently utilize tax benefits.
In general, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of Hagerty, Inc. for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of THG units and Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company produces taxable income and the resulting cash tax liability is reduced by deducting the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. The payments under the TRA are expected to be substantial.

State Farm
Alliance Agreement
Hagerty has a 10-year master alliance agreement with State Farm under which State Farm's customers, through State Farm agents, are able to access Hagerty's features and services. This program began issuing policies in four initial states in September 2023. Under this agreement, State Farm paid Hagerty an advanced commission of $20.0 million, which is being recognized as "Commission and fee revenue" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the arrangement.
In conjunction with the master alliance agreement, the Company also entered into a managing general underwriter agreement whereby the State Farm Classic+ policy is offered through State Farm Classic Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of State Farm. The State Farm Classic+ policy is available to new and existing State Farm customers through their agents on a state-by-state basis. Hagerty is paid a commission under the managing general underwriter agreement and ancillary agreements for each policy issued in the State Farm Classic+ program. Additionally, the Company has the opportunity to offer HDC membership to State Farm Classic+ customers which provides Hagerty an additional revenue opportunity. Commission revenue associated with the State Farm Classic+ policies was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Reinsurance Agreement
Hagerty Re has a quota share agreement to cede 50% of the risk assumed from a subsidiary of Markel in relation to High-Net-Worth Accounts to Oglesby Reinsurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of State Farm.

Other Related Party Transactions
From time-to-time, in the ordinary course of business, related parties, such as members of the Board of Directors and management, purchase insurance policies from the Company, receive payments on claims required by the Company's insurance policies, and buy and sell collector cars through Marketplace auctions or in private transactions.
19 — Commitments and Contingencies
Employee Compensation Agreements — In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into certain employee compensation agreements from time to time which commit the Company to severance obligations in the event an employee terminates employment with the Company. If applicable, these obligations are included in the accrued expenses lines of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these legal contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. The determination of the amount of any losses to be recorded or disclosed as a result of these contingencies is based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel. The amount of losses recorded or disclosed for such contingencies may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or a change in legal or settlement strategy. While the impact of any one or more legal claims or proceedings could be material to the Company's operating results in any period, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these pending claims or proceedings (including the data security incident discussed below), individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Data Security Incident — In 2021, the Company experienced an unauthorized access into its online insurance quote feature whereby attackers used personal information already in their possession to obtain additional consumer data, including driver’s license numbers. The unauthorized access issue has been remediated. This incident is the subject of coordinated industry-wide regulatory investigations in New York state. The Company could be subject to litigation, fines and/or penalties related to this incident. In 2023, the Company accrued an estimated liability related to this incident based on the facts known by management and developed through its assessment of the current status of ongoing dialog with the regulatory investigators. The amount of the estimated liability is not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The amount of any fines, penalties, and/or settlements related to this incident could differ from the amount currently accrued and such difference is not currently estimable.
20 — Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 7, 2024, which is the date these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and no material subsequent events were identified that are required to be reported.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Please refer to the section in this Quarterly Report entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".
Overview
We are a market leader in providing insurance for classic cars and enthusiast vehicles. Through our insurance model, we act as a Managing General Agent ("MGA") by underwriting, selling, and servicing classic car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies. Then, due to our consistent track record of delivering strong underwriting results, we reinsure a large portion of the risks written by our MGA subsidiaries through our wholly owned subsidiary, Hagerty Reinsurance Limited ("Hagerty Re"). In addition, we offer Hagerty Drivers Club ("HDC") memberships, which can be bundled with our insurance policies and give subscribers access to an array of products and services, including Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, our proprietary vehicle valuation tool, emergency roadside assistance, and special vehicle-related discounts. Lastly, to complement our insurance and membership offerings, we also offer Hagerty Marketplace ("Marketplace"), where car enthusiasts can buy, sell, and finance collector cars. Through these offerings, our goal is to be the world's most trusted and preferred brand for enthusiasts to protect, buy and sell, and enjoy the special cars that are their passion.
Business Review
In 2023, we conducted a review of certain components of our operations which resulted in the sale or reorganization of certain businesses, including Hagerty Garage + Social and DriveShare, as discussed below. This initiative supported our strategy to prioritize investments and resources in the areas of our business that offer the strongest growth and profit potential. As a result of this review, we recognized approximately $4.0 million of losses and impairments in the third quarter of 2023 related to actions taken with respect to Hagerty Garage + Social and DriveShare. We may incur additional losses and/or impairment charges in future periods as a result of actions which we may take related to this review.
Key Performance Indicators
The tables below present a summary of our Key Performance Indicators, which include important operational metrics, as well as certain GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the periods presented. We use these Key Performance Indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends against planned initiatives, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe these Key Performance Indicators are useful in evaluating our performance when read together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Total Written Premium is the total amount of insurance premium written by our MGA subsidiaries on policies that were bound by our insurance carrier partners during the period. We view Total Written Premium as an important metric as it most closely correlates with our growth in insurance commission revenue and Hagerty Re earned premium. Total Written Premium reflects the actual business volume and direct economic benefit generated from our policy acquisition efforts.
(2) Loss Ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of (i) losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to (ii) earned premium in Hagerty Re. We view Loss Ratio as an important metric because it is a powerful benchmark for profitability. This benchmark allows us to evaluate our historical loss patterns including incurred losses and make necessary and appropriate adjustments.
(3) New Business Count represents the number of new insurance policies issued by our MGA subsidiaries during the applicable period. We view New Business Count as an important metric to assess our financial performance because it is critical to achieving our growth objectives. While Hagerty benefits from strong renewal retention, new business policies more than offset those cancelled or non-renewed at expiration. Often new policies mean new relationships and an opportunity to sell additional products and services.
(4) Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a description of this non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP amount.
(5) Policies in Force ("PIF") represents the number of current and active insurance policies as of the applicable period end date. We view PIF as an important metric to assess our financial performance because policy growth drives our revenue growth, increases brand awareness and market penetration, generates additional insight to improve the performance of our platform, and provides key data to assist us in strategic decision making.
(6) PIF Retention represents the percentage of expiring insurance policies that are renewed on the renewal effective date, calculated on a rolling twelve months basis. We view PIF Retention as an important measurement of the number of policies retained each year, which contributes to recurring revenue streams from MGA commissions, membership fees, and earned premiums. It also contributes to maintaining our NPS, as discussed below.
(7) Vehicles in Force represents the number of current insured vehicles as of the applicable period end date. We view Vehicles in Force as an important metric to assess our financial performance because insured vehicle growth drives our revenue growth and increases market penetration.
(8) HDC Paid Member Count represents the number of current Members who pay an annual membership subscription as of the applicable period end date. We believe that HDC Paid Member Count is important because it helps us measure membership revenue growth and provides an opportunity to customize our value proposition and benefits to specific types of enthusiasts, both by demographic and vehicle interest.
(9) Hagerty uses Net Promoter Score ("NPS") as an important measure of the overall strength of our relationship with insurance policyholders and paid HDC subscribers (collectively referred to herein as "Members"). NPS is measured twice annually through a web-based survey sent by email invitation to a random sample of existing Members, which currently excludes customers in our new Marketplace business, and is reported annually using an average of the two surveys. Often referred to as a barometer of brand loyalty and engagement, NPS is well-known in our industry as a strong indicator of growth and retention.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Commission and fee revenue
We generate commission and fee revenue through our MGA subsidiaries primarily from the underwriting, sale, and servicing of classic car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies on behalf of our insurance carrier partners. Commissions are earned for both new and renewed policies. In addition, under the terms of certain of our contracts with insurance carriers, we have the opportunity to earn a contingent underwriting commission ("CUC") based on written or earned premium and the loss ratio results of the insurance book of business.
Historically, our MGA subsidiaries have earned, on average, a base commission of approximately 32% of written premium, as well as a CUC of up to 10%. In December 2023, our alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel Group, Inc. ("Markel"), which generates approximately 95% of our total commission revenue, was amended to increase the base commission rate to 37% and to adjust the contingent commission to range from -5% to a maximum of +5% of annual written premium, with 80% of the expected CUC being paid monthly, beginning in the first quarter of 2024.
Commission and fee revenue is earned when the policy becomes effective, net of allowances for policy changes and cancellations, as our performance obligation is substantially complete when the policy is issued.
Earned premium
We earn reinsurance premium revenue for the risks assumed by Hagerty Re from the classic car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies underwritten by our MGA subsidiaries. Hagerty Re is registered as a Class 3A reinsurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act of 1978.
Earned premium represents the earned portion of written premiums that Hagerty Re has assumed under quota share reinsurance agreements with our insurance carrier partners, net of premiums ceded to various reinsurers and the cost of catastrophe reinsurance coverage. Premiums assumed and ceded are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related reinsured policies, which is generally 12 months. The cost of catastrophe reinsurance coverage is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the related earned premium.
Membership, marketplace and other revenue
We earn subscription revenue through HDC memberships, which can be bundled with our insurance policies and give subscribers access to an array of products and services, including Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, our proprietary vehicle valuation tool, emergency roadside assistance, and special vehicle-related discounts. We also earn fee-based revenue from Hagerty Garage + Social memberships, which include storage services in addition to the HDC Member benefits. Revenue from the sale of HDC and storage memberships is recognized ratably over the period of the membership. The membership is treated as a single performance obligation to provide access to stated member benefits over the life of the membership, which is currently one year.
Marketplace earns fee-based revenue primarily from the sale of collector cars through live auctions, time-based online auctions, and brokered private sales. In addition, Marketplace earns revenue from financing provided to qualified collectors and businesses secured by collector cars. Fee-based revenue earned by Marketplace is recognized when the underlying sale is completed. Finance revenue is recognized when earned based on the amount of the outstanding loan, the applicable interest rate on the loan, and the length of time the loan was outstanding during the period.
Lastly, other revenue includes sponsorship, admission, advertising, valuation and registration income. Other revenue is recognized when the performance obligation for the related product or service is satisfied.
Operating Expenses
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits consist primarily of costs related to employee compensation, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and employee development costs. Employee compensation includes wages paid to employees, as well as various incentive compensation plans. Employee benefits include the costs of various employee benefit plans, including retirement, medical, dental, and wellness plans. Costs related to employee education, training, and recruiting are included in employee development costs. Salaries and benefits are expensed as incurred except for those costs which are required to be capitalized, which are then amortized over the useful life of the asset created, primarily software. Salaries and benefits are expected to increase over time as the business continues to grow but will likely decrease as a percent of revenue.
Ceding commissions, net
Ceding commissions, net represents the commissions paid by Hagerty Re to insurance carrier partners for the risk assumed under the quota share agreements with those carriers. These commissions represent Hagerty Re's pro-rata share of the carrier's costs including (i) policy acquisition costs, which primarily consists of the commissions earned by our MGA subsidiaries, (ii) general and administrative costs, and (iii) other costs. Ceding commissions paid is recorded net of commissions received by Hagerty Re related to ceded reinsurance premiums. Ceding commissions, net is recognized ratably over the term of the related reinsured policies, which is generally 12 months.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses
Losses and loss adjustment expenses represent our best estimate of the losses related to the risk assumed by Hagerty Re. Losses consist of claims paid, case reserves, and incurred but not reported costs, which are recorded net of estimated recoveries from reinsurance, salvage and subrogation. Loss adjustment expenses consist of the cost associated with the investigation and settlement of claims. The estimates utilized in determining the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded in a period are based on statistical analysis performed by our internal and external actuarial team. Reserves are reviewed regularly and adjusted, as necessary, to reflect our estimate of the ultimate cost of settlement.
Sales expense
Sales expense includes costs related to the sale and servicing of insurance policies, as well as costs related to our Membership and Marketplace offerings, such as broker expense, cost of sales, promotion expense, and travel and entertainment expenses. Broker expense is the compensation paid to our agent partners and national broker partners when an insurance policy is written through a broker relationship. Broker expense generally tracks with written premium growth. Cost of sales includes payment processing fees, emergency roadside service costs, postage and other variable costs associated with the sale and servicing of a policy. Cost of sales also includes the cost of vehicles held in inventory and sold through Marketplace, as well as interest expense and borrowing costs associated with the Broad Arrow Capital LLC ("BAC") credit facility ("BAC Credit Facility"). Promotion expense includes various costs related to branding, events, advertising, marketing, and customer acquisition. Sales expenses, in general, are expensed as incurred and will trend with revenue growth.
General and administrative services
General and administrative services primarily consist of expenses related to professional services, occupancy costs, and non-capitalized hardware and software. These costs are expensed as incurred. We expect this expense category to increase in dollar amount over time but will likely decrease as a percentage of revenue over the next few years after we reach scale to handle incoming business from new partnerships.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization reflects the recognition of the cost of our investments in various assets over their useful lives. Depreciation expense relates to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, vehicles, hardware, and purchased software. Amortization relates to investments associated with acquisitions, SaaS implementation, and internal software development, as well as investments made in and impairments of digital media content assets. Depreciation and amortization are expected to increase in dollar amount over time but will likely decrease as a percent of revenue as investments in platform technology reach scale.
Other Items
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and are measured at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income (expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In general, under the fair value accounting model, in periods when our stock price increases, the warrant liability increases, and we recognize additional expense. In periods when our stock price decreases, the warrant liability decreases, and we recognize additional income.
Interest and other income (expense)
Interest and other income (expense) primarily includes interest income related to our cash balances and interest expense related to outstanding borrowings, as well as changes in the value of the liability related to our Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with Hagerty Holding Corp. ("HHC") and Markel. Refer to Note 17 — Taxation in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information related to the TRA.
Income tax expense
The Hagerty Group, LLC ("THG") is taxed as a pass-through ownership structure under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and a similar section of state income tax law, except certain United States ("U.S.") corporate subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries. Any taxable income or loss generated by THG is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of all holders of THG units, including Hagerty, Inc. Hagerty, Inc. is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from THG.

Revenue
Commission and fee revenue
Commission and fee revenue was $88.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $14.2 million, or 19.1%, compared to 2023, consisting of increases of $10.9 million related to renewal policies and $3.3 million related to new policies.
The increase in revenue from renewal policies was primarily related to an increase of 19.2% in underlying policy premiums, as well as continued strong policy retention. The increase in renewal policy premiums reflects sustained year-over-year growth in PIF and changes in our mix of business by vehicle type and value. In addition, there were rate increases in several states due to inflation and higher vehicle repair costs, both of which contribute to higher premiums and, in turn, higher commission revenue.
The increase in revenue from new policies was driven by sustained year-over-year growth in New Business Count, as well as rate increases in several states. The average premium on a newly issued policy increased 7.6% when compared to the prior year period as a result of writing policies with higher insured values at higher premium rates. Accordingly, premiums from new policies increased $8.2 million, or 23.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In turn, base commission revenue from newly issued policies grew by $4.7 million, or 42.6%, over the same period.
Commission and fee revenue from agent sources increased $7.9 million, or 19.3%, and Commission and fee revenue from direct sources increased $6.3 million, or 18.8%, during the year ended March 31, 2024. Commission rates vary based on geography, but do not differ by distribution channel (i.e., whether they are direct-sourced or agent-sourced).
Earned premium
Earned premium at Hagerty Re was $151.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $34.4 million, or 29.3%, compared to 2023. This increase was primarily due to a higher volume of subject premiums written through our MGA subsidiaries in recent periods, partially offset by an increase in ceded reinsurance premiums related to high-net-worth accounts in the U.S., which commenced in 2023. In addition, effective January 1, 2024, Hagerty Re is no longer reinsuring classic auto risks produced by its U.K. MGA affiliate.

Membership, marketplace and other revenue
Membership, marketplace and other revenue was $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.7 million, or 17.9%, compared to 2023.
Membership fee revenue was $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.9 million, or 7.2%, compared to 2023. This improvement was primarily due to a $1.5 million, or 14.0%, increase in revenue attributable to new insurance policies issued with a bundled HDC membership, partially offset by a decrease in storage revenue as a result of fewer Hagerty Garage + Social locations in operation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, membership fees were 43.0% and 47.3%, respectively, of total Membership, marketplace and other revenue.
Marketplace revenue was $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.9 million, or 57.9%, compared to 2023. This improvement was primarily due to the successful Broad Arrow auction at The Amelia, as well as a higher level of private sale revenues and an increase in finance revenue associated with the lending activities of BAC. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Marketplace revenue was 33.6% and 25.1%, respectively, of total Membership, marketplace and other revenue.
Other revenue, which primarily includes sponsorship, admission, advertising, valuation, and registration income, was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, other revenue was 23.3% and 27.6%, respectively, of total Membership, marketplace and other revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits were $56.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.9 million, or 1.6%, compared to 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by headcount reductions associated with a reduction in force that occurred in the first quarter of 2023. Refer to Note 10 — Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Ceding commissions, net
Ceding commissions, net attributable to Hagerty Re was $70.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $15.5 million, or 28.0%, compared to 2023. This increase is consistent with the 29.3% increase in Hagerty Re Earned premium, as discussed above.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses
Losses and loss adjustment expenses at Hagerty Re were $62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $13.9 million, or 28.8%, compared to 2023. This increase is consistent with the 29.3% increase in Hagerty Re Earned premium, discussed above. Hagerty Re's loss ratio was 41.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 41.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Sales expense
Sales expense was $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.5 million, or 12.9%, compared to 2023. The higher level of sales expense was due, in part, to a $2.4 million increase in Marketplace cost of sales resulting from a higher level of auction and private sales during the period, as well as borrowing costs associated with the BAC Credit Facility, which was entered into in December 2023. In addition, broker expense increased by $2.3 million, which is consistent with the written premium growth at our MGA subsidiaries across the agent distribution channel.
General and administrative services
General and administrative services expense was $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 7.1%, compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a $1.5 million reduction in occupancy costs as a result of fewer Hagerty Garage + Social locations in operation.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 23.2%, compared to 2023. This decrease was driven primarily by a $3.6 million impairment of digital media content assets recorded in the prior year period, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in amortization attributable to a higher base of information technology assets in the current period.
Restructuring, impairment and related charges, net
In the first quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in force (the "2023 RIF") following a strategic review of our business processes as we focus on driving efficiencies in order to achieve growth and profitability goals. As a result, we recognized restructuring, impairment and related charges of $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which consisted of $5.1 million of severance related costs associated with the 2023 RIF and a $0.4 million impairment charge to write-down the value of certain digital media content assets.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the change in the fair value of our warrant liabilities resulted in losses of $6.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Refer to Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information with respect to our warrants.
Interest and other income (expense)
Interest and other income (expense) was $7.2 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.6 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.6 million. This increase was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in interest income, primarily as a result of higher cash balances and higher interest rates. In addition, there was a decrease in interest expense of $0.6 million, primarily driven by less outstanding debt related to the JPM Credit Facility. These factors were partially offset by $2.6 million of income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to a decrease in the value of the TRA liability.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.5 million compared to 2023. This increase was primarily due to a $7.2 million increase in Hagerty Re taxable income. Refer to Note 17 — Taxation in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information with respect to items affecting our effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Maintaining a strong balance sheet and capital position is a top priority for us. We manage liquidity globally and across all operating subsidiaries.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Our sources of liquidity include our: (i) balances of cash and cash equivalents; (ii) net working capital; (iii) cash flows from operations; (iv) borrowings from the JPM Credit Facility (as defined below) to fund the general corporate needs of THG and its subsidiaries; and (v) borrowings from the BAC Credit Facility to fund a portion of the lending activities of BAC.
Our primary liquidity needs and capital requirements include cash required for: (i) the funding of business operations, including strategic investments; (ii) the servicing and repayment of borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility, the BAC Credit Facility, and the unsecured term loan credit facility with State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm Term Loan"); (iii) the payment of income taxes; and (iv) the funding of potential payments under the TRA.
Based on our current expectations, we believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to provide an adequate level of capital to support our anticipated short and long-term commitments, operating needs, and capital requirements.
Financing Arrangements
JPM Credit Facility
THG has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, as amended (the "JPM Credit Agreement"). The JPM Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "JPM Credit Facility") with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $230.0 million. The JPM Credit Agreement matures in October 2026, but may be extended if agreed to by us and the lenders party thereto. As of March 31, 2024, total outstanding borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility were $37.0 million. JPM Credit Facility borrowings are collateralized by the assets of and equity interests in THG and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for (i) the assets held by the special purpose entities related to the BAC Credit Facility and (ii) all or a portion of certain foreign and certain excluded or immaterial subsidiaries. Under the JPM Credit Agreement, we are required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of March 31, 2024.
Refer to Note 12 — Long-Term Debt in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the JPM Credit Facility.
BAC Credit Facility
On December 21, 2023, BAC and its wholly owned subsidiary BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC, as borrower, entered into the BAC Credit Agreement. The BAC Credit Agreement provides for the BAC Credit Facility, which has an aggregate borrowing capacity of $75.0 million and is subject to a borrowing base that is determined by a calculation that is primarily based upon a percentage of the carrying value of certain BAC notes receivable. As of March 31, 2024, the applicable borrowing base for the BAC Credit Agreement was $29.2 million.
The revolving borrowing period provided by the BAC Credit Agreement expires on December 21, 2025 and the BAC Credit Agreement matures on December 21, 2026. The revolving borrowing period and the maturity date of the BAC Credit Agreement may be extended by one year if requested by BAC and agreed to by the administrative agent. BAC is not a borrower or guarantor of the BAC Credit Facility.
In connection with the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and certain of its subsidiaries transfer certain notes receivable originated by BAC and certain of its subsidiaries to wholly owned, bankruptcy remote special purpose entities (each, an "SPE") to secure the borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement. These SPEs have the limited purpose of acquiring notes receivable or a certificate representing beneficial ownership interest therein from BAC and certain of its subsidiaries, with BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC also being the borrower under the BAC Credit Agreement. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. BAC continues to service the notes receivable transferred to the SPEs.
Recourse to the Company and its subsidiaries that originated and transferred notes receivable that represent collateral under the BAC Credit Facility is limited to (i) an obligation of the applicable seller to repurchase a note receivable if it is determined that there was a breach of any representation or warranty relating to such note receivable as of the relevant date specified in the related transfer agreement and (ii) a limited guarantee covering certain liabilities that may result under certain foreign exchange hedging activity of one of the SPEs.
Under the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC are required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants, including the requirement of BAC, as the servicer, to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity balances, and an indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BAC Credit Agreement.
Refer to Note 12 — Long-Term Debt in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information related to the BAC Credit Agreement.
Capital and Dividend Restrictions
Through our reinsurance subsidiary, Hagerty Re, we reinsure the same personal lines risks that are underwritten by our MGA subsidiaries on behalf of our insurance carrier partners. Hagerty Re's reinsurance operations are funded primarily through existing capital and net cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2024, Hagerty Re had approximately $521.2 million in "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Restricted cash and cash equivalents". The balance of "Restricted cash and cash equivalents" is maintained in a trust account for the benefit of the ceding insurer as security for Hagerty Re's obligations for losses, loss expenses, unearned premium and profit-sharing commissions. The use of the funds in this trust account is restricted to the payment of these amounts.
We, and particularly Hagerty Re, pay close attention to the underlying underwriting and reserving risks by monitoring the pricing and loss development of the underlying business written through our MGA subsidiaries. Additionally, Hagerty Re manages its investment portfolio in accordance with an investment policy approved by its Board of Directors that seeks to generate an attractive total return on an after-tax basis on its investment assets, over the long-term, subject to compliance with several constraints and objectives including a requirement to assume only a modest amount of risk of principal loss.
Capital Restrictions
In Bermuda, Hagerty Re is subject to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") administered by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA"). No regulatory action is taken by the BMA if an insurer's capital and surplus is equal to or in excess of their enhanced capital requirement, as determined by the BSCR model. In addition, the BMA has established a target capital level for each insurer which is 120% of the enhanced capital requirement. Hagerty Re maintained sufficient statutory capital and surplus to comply with regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2024.
Dividend Restrictions
Under Bermuda law, Hagerty Re is prohibited from declaring or issuing a dividend if it fails to meet its minimum solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio. Prior approval from the BMA is also required if Hagerty Re's proposed dividend payments would exceed 25% of its prior year-end total statutory capital and surplus. The amount of dividends which could be paid by Hagerty Re in 2024 without prior approval is approximately $55 million.
We believe that Hagerty Re's existing cash and cash equivalents, municipal securities, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Hagerty Re's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its reinsurance premium growth rate, renewal rates, underwriting results, successful entry in new geographic markets, and the continuing market adoption of its product offerings.
Comparative Cash Flows

N/M = Not meaningful
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $58.2 million, an increase of $46.5 million, compared to 2023. This increase was due to a $24.0 million increase in Net income, after excluding non-cash adjustments, and a $22.5 million increase in cash from operating assets and liabilities.
The increase in Net income, after excluding non-cash adjustments, was primarily driven by revenue growth across all areas of our business, as well as management's cost containment measures. The increase in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by a $16.0 million increase in CUC payments associated with 2023 results, as well as an amendment to our alliance agreement and associated agency agreement with Markel whereby, beginning in 2024, 80% of our CUC receivables are settled monthly rather than on an annual basis.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $6.5 million when compared to 2023. The lower level of cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $3.6 million, primarily related to internally developed software, as well as a decrease in acquisition-related payments of $2.2 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $18.4 million when compared to 2023, primarily due to an increase in net repayments of JPM Credit Facility borrowings of $21.6 million, partially offset by net borrowings from the BAC Credit Agreement, resulting in net cash inflows of $3.5 million.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Hagerty, Inc. expects to have adequate capital resources to meet the requirements and obligations under the TRA entered into with the Legacy Unit Holders on December 2, 2021. The TRA provides for the payment by Hagerty, Inc. to the Class V Common Stock holders, HHC and Markel (together the "Legacy Unit Holders"), of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, under U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax realized as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis of Hagerty, Inc.'s assets resulting from (a) the purchase of THG units from any of the Legacy Unit Holders using the net proceeds from any future offering, (b) redemptions or exchanges by the Legacy Unit Holders of Class V Common Stock and THG units for shares of Class A Common Stock or (c) payments under the TRA and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the TRA.
Legacy Unit Holders may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions as described in the Legacy Unit Holders Exchange Agreement executed in connection with the Business Combination, redeem or exchange their Class V Common Stock and THG units for shares of Class A Common Stock of Hagerty, Inc. on a one-for-one basis. THG made an election under Section 754 of the IRC with the filing of its 2019 income tax return, which cannot be revoked without the permission of the IRS Commissioner and will be in place for any future exchange of THG units. The redemptions and exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of THG. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Hagerty, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. This payment obligation as a part of the TRA is an obligation of Hagerty, Inc. and not of THG. For purposes of the TRA, the cash tax savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Hagerty, Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Hagerty, Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of THG as a result of the redemptions or exchanges and had Hagerty, Inc. not entered into the TRA. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates that materially affect the amounts reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management's judgments, assumptions, and estimates are based on historical experience, future expectations, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may ultimately differ from management's original estimates, as future events and circumstances sometimes do not develop as expected.
Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report. We include herein certain updates to those policies.
New Accounting Standards
New accounting standards are described in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies, in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated Net income (loss), excluding interest and other income (expense), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude (i) changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities; (ii) share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, (iii) restructuring, impairment and related charges, net; (iv) the net gain or loss from asset disposals; (v) losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (vi) certain other unusual items.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations.
By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to Net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for Net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance. Hagerty's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income (loss):

Adjusted EPS
We define Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") as consolidated Net income (loss), less changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities, divided by our outstanding and total potentially dilutive securities, which includes (i) the weighted average issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; (ii) all issued and outstanding non-controlling interest units of THG; (iii) all unexercised warrants; (iv) all unissued share-based compensation awards; and (v) all issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.
The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EPS is basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS"), which is calculated as Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of Class A Common Stock shares outstanding during the period.
We present Adjusted EPS because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the consolidated performance of other companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EPS, which compares our consolidated Net income (loss) with our outstanding and potentially dilutive shares, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance on a fully consolidated basis.
Management uses Adjusted EPS:
•as a measurement of operating performance of our business on a fully consolidated basis;
•to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
•as a preferred predictor of core operating performance, comparisons to prior periods and competitive positioning.
We caution investors that Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including Basic EPS, and that Adjusted EPS, as we define it, may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a measure of profit or loss per share.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Basic EPS:

For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to the market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms specified by the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Refer to Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information related to legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or currently view as immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
