FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) or in documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about (i) our ability to meet our investment objectives and to manage and mitigate market risk with respect to our investments; (ii) the adequacy of our reinsurance program and our ability to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position; (iii) business and risk management strategies, including acquisitions, strategic investments and risk diversification; (iv) our estimates with respect to tax and accounting matters including the impact on our financial statements; (vi) future dividends, if any; (vi) our expectations related to our financing activities; (vii) the sufficiency of our liquidity to pay our insurance company affiliates’ claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events; (viii) the sufficiency of our capital resources, together with cash provided from our operations, to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements and the source of funds needed to fund our business and risk management strategies; (ix) the potential effects of the seasonality of our business, including effects on our reinsurance business and financial results; (x) our intentions with respect to our credit risk investments; (xi) the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and (xii) the potential effects of our current legal proceedings.

These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

•

the possibility that actual losses may exceed reserves;

•

the concentration of our business in coastal states, which could be impacted by hurricane losses or other significant weather-related events such as northeastern winter storms;

•

our exposure to catastrophic weather events;

•

inherent uncertainty of our models and our reliance on such models as a tool to evaluate risk;

•

the fluctuation in our results of operations;

•

increased costs of reinsurance, non-availability of reinsurance, non-collectability of reinsurance and our ability to obtain reinsurance on terms and at a cost acceptable to us;

•

increased competition, competitive pressures, and market conditions;

•

our failure to accurately assess and price the risks we underwrite;

•

our failure to identify suitable business acquisitions, effectively manage our growth and integrate acquired companies;

•

our failure to execute our diversification strategy;

•

our reliance on independent agents to write insurance policies for us on a voluntary basis and our ability to attract and retain agents;

•

the failure of our claims department to effectively manage or remediate claims;

•

low renewal rates and failure of such renewals to meet our expectations;

•

our inability to maintain our financial stability rating;

•

our ability to access sufficient liquidity or obtain additional financing to fund our operations and expand our business;

•

our inability to generate investment income;

•

effects of emerging claim and coverage issues relating to legal, judicial, environmental and social conditions;

•

the failure of our risk mitigation strategies or loss limitation methods;

•

lack of effectiveness of exclusions and loss limitation methods in the insurance policies we assume or write;

•

the regulation of our insurance operations;

•

changes in regulations and our failure to meet increased regulatory requirements, including minimum capital and surplus requirements;

•

climate change, health crisis, severe weather conditions and other catastrophe events;

•

litigation or regulatory actions;

•

regulation limiting rate increases or that require us to participate in loss sharing or assessments;

•

the terms of our indebtedness;

•

our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting;

•

certain characteristics of our common stock;

•

the continued and potentially prolonged impact of COVID-19 on the economy, demand for our products and our operations, including measures taken by the governmental authorities to address COVID-19, which may precipitate or exacerbate other risks and/or uncertainties;

•

failure of our information technology systems or those of our key service providers and unsuccessful development and implementation of new technologies;

•

a lack of redundancy in our operations;

•

our failure to attract and retain qualified employees and independent agents or our loss of key personnel; and

•

the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the impact of supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, labor availability and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The forward-looking statements we make in our Form 10-Q are valid only as of the date of our Form 10-Q and may not occur in light of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we describe from time to time in our filings with the SEC. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated and all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods have been reflected. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 14, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" . The ASU i) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models, and amends certain disclosures, ii) amends and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity's own equity, including share-based compensation, and iii) amends the diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The if-converted method will be the only permissible method for computing the dilutive effect of the convertible debt instruments. Interest expense no longer includes amortization of debt discount. The Company adopted the guidance of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, reporting no material impact to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements or disclosures for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “2022-02 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU 2022-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2023 and will provide the required disclosures, if determined to be material.

The Company has documented the summary of its significant accounting policies in its Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements annual report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies since the filing of that report.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company completes a detailed analysis each quarter to assess whether the decline in the fair value of any investment below its cost basis is the result of a credit loss. All available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses are reviewed. The Company considers many factors in completing its quarterly review of securities with unrealized losses for credit-related impairment to determine whether a credit loss exists, including the extent to which fair value is below cost, the implied yield to maturity, rating downgrades of the security and whether or not the issuer has failed to make scheduled principal or interest payments. The Company also takes into consideration information about the financial condition of the issuer and industry factors that could negatively impact the capital markets.

If the decline in fair value of an available-for-sale security below its amortized cost is considered to be the result of a credit loss, the Company compares the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. For the three months ending March 31, 2022, management concluded that the decline in the fair value was not a result from credit losses but rather as a direct result from the increase in the market interest rates. Therefore, the Company did 0t have an allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Quarterly, the Company considers whether it intends to sell an available-for-sale security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized costs. In these instances, a decline in fair value is recognized in net income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security.

Other Investments

Non-Consolidating Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

The Company makes passive investments in limited partnerships (“LPs”), which are accounted for using the equity method, with income reported in earnings. The Company also makes passive investments in a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and an Insurtech company, which are accounted for using the measurement alternative method, which is reported at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes from observable price changes.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and maximum loss exposure of the Company’s non-consolidated VIEs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:



	As of March 31, 2022				As of December 31, 2021

No agreements exist requiring the Company to provide additional funding to any of the non-consolidated VIEs in excess of the Company’s initial investment.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company is required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets/liabilities as of the reporting date.

•

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in the markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The tables below present the balances of the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Financial Instruments excluded from the fair value hierarchy

The carrying value of premium receivables and accounts payable, accrued expense, revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility bear interest resets periodically at market interest rates.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill which are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. To evaluate such assets for a potential impairment, the Company determines the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets using a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market approaches, which contain significant unobservable inputs and therefore are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate.

Certain of our investments in accordance with GAAP for the type of investment, are measured using methodologies other than fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment following its annual valuation review of approximately $61 million. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, the Company recognized an impairment in other investments of approximately $1.0 million based on the estimated fair value of the Company's ownership interest. For the quarter-ended March 31, 2022, there were no non-recurring fair value adjustments.

NOTE 5. LEASES

The Company has entered into operating and financing leases primarily for real estate and vehicles. The Company will determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement. The operating leases have terms of one to ten years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from two to ten years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company considers these options in determining the lease term used in establishing the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease obligations. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Because the rate implicit in each operating lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine present value of the lease payments. The Company used the implicit rates within the finance leases.

Components of the Company’s lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 12. REINSURANCE

Overview

In order to limit the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, the Company purchases significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of the Company’s largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 2020 and 2021, the Company purchased reinsurance from the following sources: (i) the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe fund (“FHCF”) for Florida policies only, (ii) private reinsurers, all of which were rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized, and (iii) the Company’s wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”). In addition to purchasing excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchased quota share, property per risk and facultative reinsurance. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative reinsurance to supplement its per risk reinsurance program where the Company capacity needs dictate.

Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of the risk exposure on policies the Company writes to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that the Company’s reinsurers are unable to meet the obligations they assume under the Company’s reinsurance agreements, the Company remains liable for the entire insured loss.

The Company’s reinsurance agreements are prospective contracts. The Company records an asset, prepaid reinsurance premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of the Company’s new reinsurance agreements. The Company generally amortizes its catastrophe reinsurance premiums ratably over the 12-month contract period, which is June 1 through May 31. Its quota share reinsurance is amortized over the 12-month contract period and may be purchased on a calendar or fiscal year basis.

In the event that the Company incurs losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable under its reinsurance program, the Company records amounts recoverable from its reinsurers on paid losses plus an estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses. The estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses is a function of its liability for unpaid losses associated with the reinsured policies; therefore, the amount changes in conjunction with any changes to its estimate of unpaid losses. As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that an estimated recovery may change significantly in the near term from the amounts included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s insurance regulators require all insurance companies, like us, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage in order to cover losses and loss adjustment expenses upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event. The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of its state regulator requirements, which are based on the probable maximum loss that it would incur from an individual catastrophic event estimated to occur once in every 100 years based on its portfolio of insured risks. The nature, severity and location of the event giving rise to such a probable maximum loss differs for each insurer depending on the insurer’s portfolio of insured risks, including, among other things, the geographic concentration of insured value within such portfolio. As a result, a particular catastrophic event could be a one-in-100-year loss event for one insurance company while having a greater or lesser probability of occurrence for another insurance company. The Company also purchases reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. The Company shares portions of its reinsurance program coverage among its insurance company affiliates.

For a detailed discussion of the Company’s 2021-2022 Reinsurance Program please Refer to Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and “Note 12. Reinsurance” in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

NOTE 13. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES

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

The table below summarizes the activity related to the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses:

As of March 31, 2022, the Company reported $311.7 million in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance which included $319.4 million attributable to IBNR net of reinsurance recoverable, or 74.4% of net reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

NOTE 14. LONG-TERM DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2017 and September 2017, the Company issued in aggregate $136.8 million of 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”) maturing on August 1, 2037, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears, on February 1, and August 1 of each year.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $11.7 million of the Convertible Notes outstanding, net of issuance and debt discount costs in aggregate of approximately $101,560 and net of $21.1 million of Convertible Notes held by an insurance company subsidiary. For each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company made interest payments, net of affiliated Convertible Notes of approximately $630,650 and $687,750, on the Convertible Notes, respectively.

In January 2022, the Company reacquired and retired $11.7 million of its outstanding Convertible Senior Notes. Payment was made in cash and the Convertible Notes were retired at the time of repurchase. In addition, the Company expensed $242,700 which was the proportionate amount of the unamortized issuance and debt discount costs associated with this repurchase.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company is party to a five-year, $150.0 million credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

Term Loan Facility: The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and increasing to $1.3 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan Facility matures on July 27, 2026. On December 31, 2021, there was $69.1 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. As of March 31, 2022, there was $68.3 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company made principal and interest payments of approximately $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively on the Term Loan Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility: The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $75 million inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 0 borrowings and 0 letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $15.0 million of borrowings and a $7.5 million letter of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. For the three months

ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company made interest payments of $100,908 and $116,805 under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.

At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to LIBOR (based on one, two, three or six-month interest periods), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR index rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin.

At March 31 2022, the effective interest rate on for the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility was 3.0% and 3.19%, respectively. The Company monitors the rates prior to the reset date which allows it to establish if the payment is monthly or quarterly payment based on the most beneficial rate used to calculate the interest payment.

Mortgage Loan

In October 2017, the Company and its subsidiary, Skye Lane Properties LLC, jointly obtained a commercial real estate mortgage loan in the amount of $12.7 million, bearing interest of 4.95% per annum and maturing on October 30, 2027. On October 30, 2022, the interest rate shall adjust to an interest rate equal to the annualized interest rate of the United States 5-year Treasury Notes as reported by Federal Reserve on a weekly average basis plus 3.10%. The Company makes monthly principal and interest payments towards the loan. For each of the respective three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company made principal and interest payments of approximately $223,200 on the mortgage loan.

FHLB Loan Agreements

In December 2018, a subsidiary of the Company received a 3.094% fixed interest rate cash loan of $19.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Atlanta. In connection with the loan agreement, the subsidiary became a member of FHLB. Membership in the FHLB required an investment in FHLB’s common stock which was purchased in December 2018 and valued at $1.4 million. Additionally, the transaction required the acquired FHLB common stock and certain other investments to be pledged as collateral. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the collateralized securities was $22.2 million and the equity investment in FHLB common stock was $1.2 million. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company made quarterly interest payments as per the terms of the loan agreement of approximately $150,160. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company also holds other common stock from FHLB Des Moines, and FHLB Boston valued at $221,800 and $215,900, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s long-term debt and credit facilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Provided there is no default or an event of default, the Company is permitted to pay out dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10.0 million in any fiscal year.

The covenants and other requirements under the revolving agreement represent the most restrictive provisions that the Company is subject to with respect to its long-term debt.

NOTE 21. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Common, Restricted and Performance-based Stock

The Company has adopted the Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective on May 22, 2014. The Plan authorized 2,981,737 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan for future grants. The Plan allows for a variety of equity awards including stock options, restricted stock awards and performance-based awards.

At March 31, 2022 there were 473,557 shares available for grant under the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense under ASC 718 for its stock-based payments based on the fair value of the awards.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the recommendations made by the Compensation Committee to revise the non-employee director compensation policy to provide that: (i) each non‐ employee director of the Company is entitled to an annual cash fee of $125,000, payable quarterly; (ii) each member of a committee of the Board is entitled to an additional annual cash fee of $2,500; (iii) each chair of a committee of the Board is entitled to an additional $5,000 annual cash fee; (iv) the chair of the Board, to the extent the chair is a non‐employee director, is entitled to an additional annual cash fee of $20,000; and (v) each non‐employee director of the Company is granted annually a number of shares of restricted stock with a value equal to $40,000 at the date of issuance, a grant date of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company and which restricted stock will vest on the earlier of the one‐year anniversary of the date of issuance and the day immediately prior to the date of the following year’s annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.

In January 2022, the Company awarded to non-employee directors in aggregate 21,768 shares of restricted stock with a fair value at the time of grant of $5.88 per share. The awards shall vest on the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders that occurs after the award date, provided the member remains on the Board until such date.

During the 2022 first quarter, the Company awarded 3,636 and 115,327 shares of time-based restricted stock with at the time of grant a fair value of $5.50 and $6.72 per share, respectively to certain employees. The time-based restricted stock will vest in two and three year equal installments on December 27, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. In addition, the Company awarded 10,909 shares and 245,536 of performance-based restricted stock with at the time grant a fair value of $5.50 and $6.72 per share, respectively. The performance-based restricted stock has a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024 and will vest following the end of the performance period but no later than March 5, 2025.

For the performance-based restricted stock the numbers of shares that will be earned at the end of the performance period is subject to decrease based on the results of the performance condition.

The Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates the options are granted. The Company has not granted any stock options since 2015 and all unexercised stock options have since been forfeited.

Restricted Stock

The Company has also granted shares of its common stock subject to certain restrictions under the Plan. Restricted stock awards granted to employee’s vest in equal installments generally over a two to five year period from the grant date subject to the recipient’s continued employment. The fair value of restricted stock awards is estimated by the market price at the date of grant and amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the period of vesting. Recipients of restricted stock awards granted prior to 2021 have the right to receive dividends; dividends accrue but are not paid until vesting for recipients of restricted stock awards granted 2021 and thereafter.

Restricted stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is as follows:


				Weighted-Average
				Grant-Date Fair
	Number of shares			Value per Share
Non-vested, at December 31, 2021		283,092		$	9.32

Canceled and surrendered		(9,849	)		5.88
Non-vested, at March 31, 2022		655,268		$	7.82

Awards are being amortized to expense over the two to five-year vesting period. The Company recognized $505,730 and $260,000 of compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 25,000 shares of restricted stock were vested and released, all of which had been granted to employees.

NOTE 22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined there were no recognized or unrecognized subsequent events that would require an adjustment or additional disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022.

On May 4, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors amended the Credit Agreement by entering into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent.

Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio included in the Credit Agreement will be calculated based on the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth, rather than the Company’s consolidated net worth as was required under the existing Credit Agreement. Specifically, the Sixth Amendment provides that, effective as of March 31, 2022 and for future fiscal quarters, the Company’s consolidated tangible net worth as of the end of a fiscal quarter may not be less than the sum of (1) $162,333,750, plus (2) 25% of the sum of the positive consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to each full fiscal quarter, plus (3) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain equity issuance transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries. All other material terms of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged.

On May 5, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share quarterly dividend payable on July 5, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 14, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “our Company”, and similar references refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., is a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company that primarily provides personal and commercial residential insurance products across its multi-state footprint. We provide personal residential insurance in sixteen states and commercial residential insurance in three of those states, while maintaining licenses in one additional state. As a vertically integrated insurer, we control or manage substantially all aspects of underwriting, customer service, actuarial analysis, distribution and claims processing and adjusting. Our financial strength ratings are important to the Company in establishing our competitive position and can impact our ability to write policies.

The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows provides information that will assist the reader in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 and Other Matters

We continue to monitor the short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 virus and its variants. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we saw negligible impact to our business. As a residential property insurer, we view our business as somewhat insulated because property owners and renters generally view our products as a necessity. The majority of our gross and net premiums written are from renewals of expiring policies. New business, which accounts for a smaller portion of our revenue, may be impacted if consumers are not buying as many new homes in our geographies, but this could be partially or fully offset by increased retention in our renewal portfolio. We could experience disruptions to our independent agency distribution channel, which may have a negative impact on our revenues and financial condition. Changes in the cost of materials and labor for home repairs can influence our loss costs associated with claims.

While we acknowledge uncertainties associated with future economic conditions, we do not expect a material impact to our business going forward. We will continue to monitor economic conditions and, in the case of a prolonged economic slowdown as a result of COVID-19, will take necessary actions to mitigate any negative impacts to our business, operations or financial results.

Financial Results for the first quarter of 2022

•

Net loss for the quarter was $30.8 million, or $1.15 per share, up from net loss of $5.1 million or $0.19 per share in the prior year quarter.

•

Book value per share of $10.65, on March 31, 2022 was down 16.9% from December 31, 2021. The decrease is attributable to underwriting losses in the first quarter 2022 coupled with unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale fixed income securities portfolio. The unrealized losses were unrelated to credit risk but were primarily due to the sharp first-quarter decline in bond prices in a higher interest rate environment.

•

Gross premiums earned of $287.4 million, up 6.3% from $270.4 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months.

•

Gross premiums written of $283.2 million, up 3.3% from the prior year quarter, with intentional exposure-management and re-underwriting efforts resulting in a 4.0% reduction in Florida, offset by growth of 11.4% in other regions.

•

Premiums in force of $1.2 billion, up 4.7% from first quarter 2021.

•

Net current accident year weather losses of $63.8 million, up substantially from $31.4 million in the prior year quarter. Current accident year weather losses include $45.0 million of net current accident quarter catastrophe losses, up from $15.4 million in the prior year quarter, and $18.8 million of other weather losses, up from $16.1 million in the prior year quarter.

•

Total capital returned to shareholders of $6.7 million, representing a $0.06 per share regular quarterly dividend and repurchase of 721,118 shares of stock.

Gross premiums written

Gross premiums written were $283.2 million, up 3.3% year-over-year, reflecting a 4.0% intentional exposure management related reduction in Florida that was offset by11.4% growth in other states. Rate increases meaningfully benefited written premiums throughout the book of business. The reduction in Florida gross written premium reflects our strategy to manage our Florida total insurance value ("TIV") and attritional loss ratios by controlling renewals and new business written.

Premiums-in-force were $1.2 billion in first quarter 2022, up 4.7% from first quarter 2021, while policies-in-force were down 5.5%, with the delta largely stemming from rate increases. Policies-in-force were 559,496, a 5.5% reduction from 591,924 policies at first quarter 2021. The reduction in policies in force from the second quarter of 2021 reflects our exposure management initiatives.

Gross premiums earned

Gross premiums earned were $287.4 million in first quarter 2022, up 6.3% from $270.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months.

Ceded premiums

Ceded premiums were $134.4 million in first quarter 2022, up 4.9% from $128.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is attributable to an increase in the cost of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program driven by an increase in TIV for the respective reinsurance contract periods.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned were $152.9 million in first quarter 2022, up 7.5% from $142.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from growth in gross premiums earned outpacing the increase in ceded premiums, as described above.

Net investment income

Net investment income, inclusive of realized investment gains and unrealized gains on equity securities, was $2.0 million in first quarter 2022, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher balances in our fixed income portfolio than the prior year quarter.

Other revenue

Other revenue was $3.7 million in first quarter 2022, relatively flat when compared to the prior year quarter.

Total revenue

Total revenue was $158.6 million in first quarter 2022, up 7.7% from $147.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from higher net premiums earned, as described above.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) were $140.0 million in first quarter 2022, up 43.0% from $97.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase stems from higher net weather losses, as described above.

Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs were $38.3 million in first quarter 2022, up 8.2% from $35.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to growth in gross premiums written and is partially offset by higher ceding commission income.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $19.7 million in first quarter 2022, relatively flat when compared to the prior year quarter.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, relatively flat quarter-over-quarter.

Benefit for income taxes

Benefit for income taxes was $10.6 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $2.6 million in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate was 25.7% in first quarter 2022, 7.6 points below the prior year quarter’s 33.2% rate. The lower effective tax rate relates to the impact of permanent tax differences on projected results of operations for the calendar year. The effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

Net loss

First quarter 2022 net loss was $30.8 million ($1.15 loss per share), up from net loss of $5.2 million ($0.19 loss per share) in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change primarily stems from a larger underwriting loss driven by significantly higher weather losses, which was partly offset by growth in net earned premium, as described above.

Ratios


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(Unaudited)	2022			2021
Ceded premium ratio		46.8	%		47.4	%

Net loss and LAE ratio		91.6	%		68.9	%
Net expense ratio		37.9	%		38.8	%
Net combined ratio		129.5	%		107.7	%

Ceded premium ratio

The ceded premium ratio was 46.8% in first quarter 2022, down 0.6 points from 47.4% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the growth in gross premiums earned outpacing the growth in ceded premiums.

Net loss and LAE ratio

The net loss and LAE ratio was 91.6% in first quarter 2022, up 22.7 points from 68.9% in the prior year quarter, driven by higher weather losses compared to the prior year quarter, which was partly offset by the 7.5% increase in net premiums earned.

Net expense ratio

The net expense ratio was 37.9% in first quarter 2022, relatively flat compared to 38.8% in the prior year quarter.

Net combined ratio

The net combined ratio was 129.5% in first quarter 2022, up 21.8 points from 107.7% in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from a higher net loss and LAE ratio with a relatively flat net expense ratio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our credit facilities. As of March 31, 2022, we had $286.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $689.5 million in investments, compared to $359.3 million and $694.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the timing of reinsurance payments for our catastrophe excess of loss ("XOL") program.

We generally hold substantial cash balances to meet seasonal liquidity needs including amounts to pay quarterly reinsurance installments as well as meet the collateral requirements of Osprey, our captive reinsurance company, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates.

We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We may continue to pursue the acquisition of complementary businesses and make strategic investments. We may increase capital expenditures consistent with our investment plans and anticipated growth strategy. Cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund such expenditures. As such, in addition to the use of our existing Credit Facilities, we may need to utilize additional debt to secure funds for such purposes.

Cash Flows

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(71,166	)	$	(38,186	)	$	(32,980	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $39.2 million for the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in cash from operating activities relates primarily to timing of cash flows associated with claim and reinsurance payments as well as reinsurance reimbursements during the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $27.6 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $73.7 million for the comparable period in 2021. The change in cash used in investing activities relates primarily to allocations of funds for investment in each period. Strategic sales of investments to yield realized gains in 2020 produced proceeds which were invested in early 2021.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.3 million, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2021. While net cash used in financing activities was relatively flat from the prior year quarter, we drew $15 million from our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below) to purchase and retire $11.7 million of Convertible Notes (defined below) during the first quarter of 2022, as described in Note 14.

Credit Facilities

The Company is party to a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Regions Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Hancock Whitney Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

Term Loan Facility. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021 and increasing to $1.3 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan Facility matures on July 27, 2026. As of March 31, 2022, there was $68.3 million in aggregate principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $75 million inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans. As of March 31, 2022, we had $15 million in borrowings and a $7.5 million letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities varies from 2.5% per annum to 3.0% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.5% to 2.0% per annum (for base rate loans) based on our consolidated leverage ratio ranging from 1.25-to-1 to greater than 2.25-to-1. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months. As of March 31, 2022, the borrowing under our Credit Facilities were accruing interest at a rate of 3.0 % per annum.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by our consolidated leverage ratio.

We may prepay the loans under the Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions including minimum amounts and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of prepayments of LIBOR loans. In addition, we are required to prepay the loan under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from certain financing transactions, involuntary dispositions or asset sales (subject, in the case of asset sales, to reinvestment rights).

All obligations under the Credit Facilities are or will be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than all of the Company’s current and future regulated insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The Company and the Guarantors are party to a Pledge and Security Agreement, (as amended from time to time the “Security Agreement”), in favor of Regions Bank, as collateral agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and each Guarantor (subject to certain exceptions), including all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, other than its regulated insurance subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Company is required to maintain, as of each fiscal quarter (1) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 (2) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 and (3) a minimum consolidated net worth for the Company and its subsidiaries. Events of default include, among other events, (i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (ii) failure to perform or observe certain covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement; (iii) breach of any representation or warranty; (iv) cross-default to other indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; (vi) monetary judgment defaults and material nonmonetary judgment defaults; (vii) customary ERISA defaults; (viii) a change of control of the Company; and (ix) failure to maintain specified catastrophe retentions in each of the Company’s regulated insurance subsidiaries.

Convertible Notes

On August 10, 2017, the Company and Heritage MGA, LLC (the “Notes Guarantor”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Notes Guarantor and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes, after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $120.5 million. The offering of the Convertible Notes was completed on August 16, 2017.

The Company issued the Convertible Notes under an Indenture (the “Convertible Note Indenture”), dated August 16, 2017, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Notes Guarantor, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness or other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries other than the Notes Guarantor, which fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

The Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2037, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 1, 2037, other than during the period from, and including, February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2017, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (2) during the ten consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Convertible Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

During the period from and including February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, and on or after February 1, 2037 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2037, holders may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was initially 67.0264 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.92 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances and is subject to increase for holders that elect to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with certain corporate transactions (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture)) that occur prior to August 5, 2022.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture), holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Except as described below, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 5, 2022. On or after August 5, 2022 but prior to February 1, 2037, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Convertible Notes periodically. Holders of the Convertible Notes are able to cause the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on any of August 1, 2022, August 1, 2027 and August 1, 2032, in each case at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.

The Convertible Note Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (as set forth in the Convertible Note Indenture) with respect to the Company, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable.

In January 2022, the Company repurchased $11.7 million principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2022, there was $11.7 million principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes.

FHLB Loan Agreements

In December 2018, a subsidiary of the Company pledged U.S. government and agency fixed maturity securities with an estimated fair value of $31.0 million as collateral and received $19.2 million in a cash loan under an advance agreement with the FHLB Atlanta. The loan originated on December 12, 2018 and bears a fixed interest rate of 3.094% with interest payments due quarterly commencing in March 2019. The principal balance on the loan has a maturity date of December 13, 2023. In connection with the agreement, the subsidiary became a member of FHLB. Membership in the FHLB required an investment in FHLB’s common stock which was purchased on December 31, 2018 and valued at $1.4 million. The subsidiary is permitted to withdraw any portion of the pledged collateral over the minimum collateral requirement at any time, other than in the event of a default by the subsidiary. The proceeds from the loan was used to prepay the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due 2023 in 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed within our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Seasonality of our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal; hurricanes typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 and winter storms generally impact the first and fourth quarters each year. With our catastrophe reinsurance program effective on June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes to reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1 of each year, subject to certain adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The information set forth under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” is incorporated herein by reference. We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The duration of the financial instruments held in our portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk was 3.758 years and 3.744 years at March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 3.903 years at December 31, 2021. As interest rates continue to rise, the fair value of our fixed rate debt securities are subject to decline. Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations. Credit risk is managed by maintaining a high credit quality fixed maturity securities portfolio. As of March 31, 2022, the estimated weighted-average credit quality rating of the fixed maturity securities portfolio was A+, at fair value, consistent with the average rating at December 31, 2021.

On July 28, 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to provide mechanics relating to a transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate for its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and replace LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.

We have not experienced a material impact when compared to the tabular presentations of our interest rate and market risk sensitive instruments in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting for the period ending March 31, 2022.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flow.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company documented its risk factors in Item 1A of Part I of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 14, 2022. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the filing of that report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased 721,118 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $5.0 million under out stock repurchase program. In addition, we acquired 9,849 shares of common stock for a total cost of $89,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that were not part of the publicly announced stock repurchase program authorization. These shares were delivered to the Company by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations with the vesting of restricted stock awards.

A summary of our common stock repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, is set forth in the table below (in thousands, except shares and price per share):


	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price (1) Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (2)
