The Company deposits funds with various state and governmental authorities. For a discussion of the Company’s deposits with state and governmental authorities, see also Note 3 – “Investments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

The amortized cost and fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers.

The Company views gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities as non-credit related and through its assessment of unrealized losses has determined that these securities will recover, allowing the Company to realize the anticipated long-term economic value. The Company currently does not intend to sell, nor does it expect to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate declines in fair value below amortized cost for fixed maturity securities. In determining impairments, the Company evaluates several factors and circumstances, including the issuer’s overall financial condition; the issuer’s credit and financial strength ratings; the issuer’s financial performance, including earnings trends and asset quality; any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer; the general outlook for market conditions in the industry or geographic region in which the issuer operates; and the degree to which the fair value of an issuer’s securities is below the Company’s amortized cost. The Company also considers any factors that might raise doubt about the issuer’s ability to make contractual payments as they come due and whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.

C. Proceeds from sales

D. Impairments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized impairments of $0.2 million on fixed maturities. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $1.4 million net recovery in impairment losses on fixed maturities, primarily resulting from increased market values during the quarter on credit losses recognized in the first quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $27.1 million of impairment losses, consisting primarily of $20.8 million on fixed maturities and $4.8 million on mortgage loans. Impairments on fixed maturities included $16.2 million categorized as intend-to-sell and $4.6 million of credit-related losses.    

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans was $7.9 million and the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities was $0.1 million.  

The methodology and significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit losses were as follows:

Fixed maturities, Corporate bonds – the Company utilized a financial model that derives expected cash flows based on probability-of-default factors by credit rating and asset duration, and loss-given-default factors based on security type. These factors are based on historical data provided by an independent third-party rating agency. In addition, other qualitative market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows may be considered, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Mortgage loans – the Company estimated losses by applying expected loss rates, which are based on historical data. Embedded in expected loss rates are mortgage risk ratings and risk factors associated with property type such as office, retail, lodging, multi-family and industrial. Risk ratings, based on property characteristics and metrics including the geographic market, are predominantly driven by estimates of loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. Ratings may be adjusted to reflect current conditions and to incorporate reasonable and supportable forecasts, such as volatility of cash flows and valuation.

 

E. Equity securities

Equity securities are carried at fair value and all increases or decreases in fair value are reported in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table provides pre-tax net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities:
