A summary of revisions to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021; and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and changes in equity, in each case, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is presented in Note 17. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such errors in its future filings, as applicable.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting: In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued.

The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed.

This standard is effective as of January 1, 2022, but has no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company currently has no contracts or hedging relationships for which the reference LIBOR or another rate is expected to be discontinued and a GAAP contract modification is required.

Improvements to Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more contracts in an entity’s own equity to qualify for it. The guidance also simplifies the diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculation in the areas of convertible instruments and instruments that qualify for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to address accounting for the guidance changes to the classification, recognition and measurement.

This standard is effective as of January 1, 2022, but has no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company currently has no convertible instruments or contracts in its own equity.

Not Yet Adopted

Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on the upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. With the sale of the disposed Global Preneed business in August 2021, the adoption of this standard is expected to have no material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Recognition and Measurement of Revenue Contracts with Customers Acquired in a Business Combination: In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance to improve comparability after a business combination is reported in the acquirer’s financial statements by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. Generally, the acquirer will recognize the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in the acquisition accounting. Under the amended guidance, the acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is expected to have no material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions: In June 2022, the FASB issued guidance on investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual restrictions preventing the sale of those securities. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. Disclosures will be required to provide investors with information about the restriction including the fair value of the equity securities subject to any contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of such restrictions, and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in such restrictions.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company plans to early adopt the standard if it invests in equity securities that have contractual restrictions preventing the sale of those securities prior to the effective date.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022: In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) which makes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the imposition of (1) a new corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) based on applicable financial statement income and (2) a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases. The effective date of the IRA is January 1, 2023. After initial analysis of the IRA, the Company does not expect a material impact to the financial statements in 2022. The Company is undergoing further analysis to determine if the CAMT will apply to the financial statements in 2023 and future years. Additionally, any excise tax incurred on corporate stock repurchases is expected to be recognized as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock acquired and not reported as part of income tax expense.

Sale of John Alden Life Insurance Company

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its sale of John Alden Life Insurance Company (“JALIC”), a run-off business reported in the Corporate and Other segment. Prior to the sale, JALIC met the criteria for held for sale presentation and, therefore, its assets and liabilities were recorded as held for sale in the December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. The major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale included $915.8 million of future policy benefits and expenses, $881.6 million of reinsurance recoverables, $159.6 million of other investments and $117.2 million of claims and benefits payable as December 31, 2021.

Most of the $881.6 million reinsurance recoverables balance for JALIC, which was included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2021 was reinsured with Employers Reassurance Corporation and was uncollateralized.

5. Segment Information

In conjunction with the transition of the Company’s CEO and chief operating decision maker on January 1, 2022, the Company changed its segment measure of profitability for its reportable segments to an Adjusted EBITDA metric, as the primary measure used for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing performance, from segment net income from continuing operations, effective as of that date. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the new segment measure of profitability.

Beginning with second quarter 2022, the Company changed the calculation of its segment measure of profitability, Adjusted EBITDA, to exclude certain businesses which the Company expects to fully exit, including the long-tail commercial

liability businesses in Global Housing (sharing economy and small commercial businesses), as well as certain legacy long-duration insurance policies within Global Lifestyle (collectively referred to as “non-core operations”), and present them as a reconciling item to consolidated net income from continuing operations. The non-core operations have been or are in the process of being exited by the Company, but do not qualify as held for sale or discontinued operations under GAAP accounting guidance.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had three reportable segments: Global Lifestyle, Global Housing and Corporate and Other. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-core operations (defined above), net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), as well as other highly variable or unusual items.

All prior period amounts have been revised, which impacts both segment Adjusted EBITDA and other adjustments under reconciling items to consolidated net income from continuing operations, but does not impact consolidated net income. The sharing economy and small commercial businesses, previously reported through the Company’s Global Housing segment, generated Adjusted EBITDA of $(3.6) million and $(46.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $(6.1) million and $(0.6) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The legacy long-duration insurance policies included in non-core operations and previously reported through the Company’s Global Lifestyle segment, generated Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $(2.1) million and $(2.0) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was also revised for an error related to reinsurance of claims and benefits payable within the Connected Living business unit in the Global Lifestyle segment, and for other unrelated immaterial errors. See Note 2 for more information.

6. Contract Revenues

The Company partners with clients to provide consumers with a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products are accounted for as insurance contracts and are recognized over the term of the insurance protection provided. Revenues from service contracts and sales of products are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for performing the services or transferring products. If payments are received before the related revenue is recognized, the amount is recorded as unearned revenue or advance payment liabilities, until the performance obligations are satisfied or the products are transferred.

The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statements of operations are $257.9 million and $264.0 million for Global Lifestyle and $19.8 million and $22.4 million for Global Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $825.5 million and $730.1 million for Global Lifestyle and $63.4 million and $71.8 million for Global Housing for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Global Lifestyle

In the Company’s Global Lifestyle segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Connected Living business. Through partnerships with mobile carriers, the Company provides administrative services related to its mobile device protection products, including program design and marketing strategy, risk management, data analytics, customer support and claims handling, supply chain and service delivery, repair and logistics, and device disposition. Administrative fees are generally billed monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period (for example, based on the number of mobile subscribers) with payment due within a short-term period. Each service or bundle of services, depending on the contract, is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.

The Company also repairs, refurbishes and then sells mobile and other electronic devices, on behalf of its clients, for a bundled per unit fee. The entire processing of the device is considered one performance obligation with a standalone selling price and thus, the per unit fee is recognized when the products are sold. Payments are generally due prior to shipment or within a short-term period.

Global Housing

In the Company’s Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business. Under the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business, the Company provides loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. The Company generally invoices its customers weekly or monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period with payment due within a short-term period. Each service is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.

Contract Balances

The receivables and unearned revenue under these contracts were $265.9 million and $173.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022, and $313.7 million and $191.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. These balances are included in premiums and accounts receivable and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $20.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $69.0 million and $47.6 million, respectively.

In certain circumstances, the Company defers upfront commissions and other costs in connection with client contracts in excess of one year where the Company can demonstrate future economic benefit. For these contracts, expense is recognized as revenues are earned. The Company periodically assesses recoverability based on the performance of the related contracts. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $62.3 million and $93.0 million, respectively, of such intangible assets attributed to service contracts that will be expensed over the term of the client contracts.

Total gross unrealized losses represented approximately 13% and 2% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Approximately 76% and 94% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 3,874 and 1,202 individual securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not

recognize credit-related losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.

The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. As of September 30, 2022, approximately 36% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Texas and Maryland. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from less than $0.1 million to $9.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and from $0.1 million to $9.6 million as of December 31, 2021.

Credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios. The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan, and is commonly expressed as a percentage. The debt-service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt-service payments and is commonly expressed as a ratio. The loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are generally updated annually in the fourth quarter.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding the allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

8. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures

The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.

•Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP, contingent considerations related to business combinations and other derivatives. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

10. Reserves

Reserve Roll Forward

The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves.

Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.

The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other (1)	2,039.0		1,057.3
Claims and benefits payable, at end of period (1)	$	3,022.4	$	1,905.0

(1)Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $960.4 million and $221.6 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program.

The Company experienced net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $32.5 million and net favorable loss development of $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as presented in the roll forward table above. The unfavorable development is attributed to the sharing economy and small commercial lines of business, now reported in the Corporate and Other segment within non-core operations.

Global Lifestyle contributed $42.3 million and $34.1 million to the net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net favorable loss development in both periods was attributable to nearly all lines of business across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience each period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Global Automotive also experienced favorable loss development from ancillary products due to the strong used vehicle market. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable.

Global Housing contributed $22.8 million of net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $0.6 million of net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was comprised of $11.1 million from non-catastrophe losses and $11.7 million from prior catastrophe events. Hurricane Eta from accident year 2020 drove the unfavorable development for

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

catastrophes where the loss development pattern was longer than expected and the average claim severities were higher than expected. For non-catastrophe losses, Lender-placed Insurance and Multifamily Housing products developed unfavorably due to inflationary impacts on severity and lengthening claim settlement lags, partially offset by favorable development across other products. The net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were attributable to multiple lines of business with a concentration in recent accident years.

The sharing economy and small commercial lines of business, reported within non-core operations, contributed $57.1 million and $11.0 million in unfavorable development during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $57.1 million in unfavorable development consisted of $45.2 million from sharing economy and $11.9 million from small commercial. The unfavorable development from sharing economy was driven by emerging adverse claim development trends on known claims as well as reserve assumption revisions to reflect relevant industry benchmarks. Both sharing economy and small commercial experienced unfavorable development on known claims driven by social inflation and the release of the backlog from courts reopening after COVID-19. All others contributed $5.1 million and $6.9 million of net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

11. Debt

Debt Redemption

In June 2022, the Company redeemed $75.0 million of the $300.0 million then outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023 at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million.

13. Equity Transactions

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”)

In March 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of the MCPS, with a par value of $1.00 per share, at a public offering price of $100.00 per share. Each outstanding share of MCPS converted in March 2021 into 0.9405 of common shares, or 2,703,911 common shares in total plus an immaterial amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Company used a portion of its treasury stock for the common shares, using the average cost method to account for the reissuance of such shares.

Dividends on the MCPS were payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. The Company paid preferred stock dividends of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

14. Earnings Per Common Share

The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of performance share units (“PSUs”) and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon the conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. The outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Average PSUs totaling 66,144 and 3,289 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method. Average PSUs totaling 59,669 and 1,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method.

15. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan (“Assurant Pension Plan”) covering substantially all employees prior to closing to new hires on January 1, 2014. The Company also has various non-contributory, non-qualified supplemental plans covering certain employees, including the Assurant Executive Pension Plan and the Assurant Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The qualified and non-qualified plans are referred to as “Pension Benefits” unless otherwise noted. In addition, the Company provides certain life and health care benefits (“Retirement Health Benefits”) for retired employees and their dependents. The Pension Benefits and Retirement Health Benefits (together, the “Plans”) were frozen on March 1, 2016.

In February 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Health Benefits to terminate effective December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Benefits will be paid up to the Termination Date. The Retirement Health Benefits obligations were re-measured using a discount rate of 1.55%, selected based on a cash flow analysis using a bond yield curve as of February 29, 2020, and the fair market value of the Retirement Health Benefits assets as of February 29, 2020. The remeasurement resulted in a reduction to the Retirement Health Benefits obligations of $65.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be reclassified from AOCI as it is amortized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining period until the Termination Date.

The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Qualified Pension Benefits				Unfunded Non-qualified Pension Benefits				Retirement Health Benefits
	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021

Net periodic benefit cost	$	(2.0)	$	(2.1)	$	2.6	$	1.4	$	(3.9)	$	(3.9)

	Qualified Pension Benefits				Unfunded Nonqualified Pension Benefits				Retirement Health Benefits
	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021
Interest cost	$	12.5	$	10.5	$	1.0	$	0.9	$	0.1	$	0.1
Expected return on plan assets	(20.7)		(20.6)		—		—		(1.0)		(1.2)
Amortization of prior service credit	—		—		—		—		(10.2)		(10.2)
Amortization of net loss (gain)	2.3		3.6		1.6		2.4		(0.6)		(0.4)
Settlement loss	—		—		1.8		0.3		—		—
Net periodic benefit cost	$	(5.9)	$	(6.5)	$	4.4	$	3.6	$	(11.7)	$	(11.7)

The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $70.5 million at September 30, 2022 and $74.8 million at December 31, 2021 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 112% and 110% funded status at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no cash was contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan. Due to the Assurant Pension Plan’s current funded status, no additional cash is expected to be contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan over the remainder of 2022.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $7.0 million and $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these proceedings. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable.

The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the accrual. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.

17. Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

The Company revised its prior period financial statements for an error related to reinsurance of claims and benefits payable within the Connected Living business unit in the Global Lifestyle segment occurring in late 2018 through first quarter 2022 that resulted in an understatement of policyholder benefits and an overstatement of net income. See Note 2 for additional information. In addition, the Company has corrected other unrelated immaterial errors which were previously recorded in the periods in which the Company identified them.

A summary of revisions to our previously reported financial statements is presented below (in millions, except for per share data).

ALI is a provider of property and liability insurance products for commercial equipment and vehicles that are leased or financed.

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

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) and the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and accompanying notes (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”). The following discussion and analysis covers the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (“Third Quarter 2022” and “Nine Months 2022”) and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (“Third Quarter 2021” and “Nine Months 2021”).

Some of the statements in this Report, including our business and financial plans and any statements regarding our anticipated future financial performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and similar matters, may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

(xi)the impact of catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses, including as a result of the current inflationary environment and climate change;

(xii)negative publicity relating to our business or industry;

(xiii)the impact of general economic, financial market and political conditions and conditions in the markets in which we operate, including the current inflationary environment (that has increased the costs of paying claims, including for materials and labor, as well as our employee wages), any prolonged recessionary environment and the conflict in Ukraine;

(xiv)the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto;

(xv)the adequacy of reserves established for claims and our inability to accurately predict and price for claims;

(xvi)a decline in financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries or in our corporate senior debt ratings;

(xvii)fluctuations in exchange rates, including in the current environment;

(xviii)an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets;

(xix)the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;

(xx)unfavorable conditions in the capital and credit markets;

(xxi)a decrease in the value of our investment portfolio, including due to market, credit and liquidity risks, and changes in interest rates;

(xxii)an impairment in the value of our deferred tax assets;

(xxiii)the unavailability or inadequacy of reinsurance coverage and the credit risk of reinsurers, including those to whom we have sold business through reinsurance;

(xxiv)the credit risk of some of our agents, third-party administrators and clients;

(xxv)the inability of our subsidiaries to pay sufficient dividends to the holding company and limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends or repurchase shares;

(xxvi)limitations in the analytical models we use to assist in our decision-making;

(xxvii)the failure to effectively maintain and modernize our information technology systems and infrastructure, or the failure to integrate those of acquired businesses;

(xxviii)breaches of our information systems or those of third parties with whom we do business, or the failure to protect the security of data in such systems, including due to cyberattacks and as a result of working remotely;

(xxix)the costs of complying with, or the failure to comply with, extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject, including those related to privacy, data security, data protection or tax;

As of September 30, 2022, we had three reportable segments which are defined based on the manner in which the Company’s chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews the business to assess performance and allocate resources, and which align to the nature of the products and services offered:

•Global Lifestyle: includes mobile device solutions, extended service products and related services for consumer electronics and appliances, and credit and other insurance products (referred to as “Connected Living”); and vehicle protection and related services (referred to as “Global Automotive”);

•Global Housing: includes lender-placed homeowners insurance, lender-placed manufactured housing insurance and lender-placed flood insurance (referred to as “Lender-placed Insurance”); renters insurance and related products (referred to as “Multifamily Housing”); and voluntary manufactured housing insurance, voluntary homeowners insurance and other specialty products (referred to as “Specialty and Other”); and

•Corporate and Other: includes corporate employee-related expenses and activities of the holding company.

In conjunction with the transition of our CEO and chief operating decision maker on January 1, 2022, we changed our segment measure of profitability for our reportable segments to an Adjusted EBITDA metric, as the primary measure used for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing performance, from segment net income from continuing operations, effective as of that date. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the new segment measure of profitability. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for more information.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-core operations (defined below), net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), as well as other highly variable or unusual items.

Executive Summary

Summary of Financial Results

Consolidated net income from continuing operations decreased $143.7 million, or 95%, to $7.3 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $151.0 million for Third Quarter 2021. The decline was primarily due to the absence of net unrealized gains from three equity positions that went public in Third Quarter 2021 through SPAC mergers and an increase in net realized losses from sales of fixed maturity securities.

Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10.4 million, or 6%, to $165.9 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $176.3 million for Third Quarter 2021, largely reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment. Excluding a one-time $11.2 million client contract benefit in the quarter, underlying results decreased $21.6 million year-over-year, mainly driven by $7.6 million of unfavorable foreign exchange in Asia Pacific and Europe, higher claims costs in Connected Living and reduced mobile trade-in-margins that are expected to normalize in the fourth quarter. This was partially offset by continued mobile subscriber growth in North America.

Global Lifestyle net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $29.1 million, or 1%, to $1.99 billion for Third Quarter 2022 from $1.96 billion for Third Quarter 2021, primarily led by Global Automotive premium growth from strong prior period sales. Connected Living net earned premiums, fees and other income decreased, mainly from runoff mobile programs and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by device protection growth in North America.

Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA decreased $40.2 million, or 264%, to $(25.0) million for Third Quarter 2022 from $15.2 million for Third Quarter 2021. Pre-tax reportable catastrophes (defined as individual catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5.0 million pre-tax, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments, and including reinstatement and other premiums) increased $22.4 million, primarily due to losses from Hurricane Ian. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $17.8 million, or 15%, primarily due to $38.2 million of higher non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products, including $24.3 million of prior period loss development. In Lender-placed Insurance, the elevated loss experience and higher catastrophe reinsurance costs were mostly offset by higher average insured values and premium rates.

Global Housing net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $13.0 million, or 3%, to $484.1 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $471.1 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily due to growth in Specialty and Other products and Lender-placed Insurance, where higher average insured values and premium rates were partially offset by higher catastrophe reinstatement premiums.

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA was $(24.9) million for Third Quarter 2022 compared to $(23.0) million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily driven by lower investment income.

Critical Factors Affecting Results

Our results depend on, among other things, the frequency and severity of reportable and non-reportable catastrophes, the appropriateness of our product pricing, underwriting, the accuracy of our reserving methodology for future policyholder benefits and claims, returns on and values of invested assets, our investment income and our ability to manage our expenses and achieve expense savings. Our results also depend on our ability to profitably grow our businesses, in particular our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses, and to maintain our position in our Lender-placed Insurance business. Factors affecting these items, including conditions in the financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, including rising inflation and interest rates, fluctuations in exchange rates, any prolonged recessionary environment, the conflict in Ukraine and competition, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. For example, the current inflationary environment has increased the costs of paying claims, including for materials and labor, as well as our employee wages, which has impacted the results of our Lender-placed Insurance business and other businesses; and challenging macroeconomic factors internationally have impacted our Connected Living and other businesses, including from unfavorable foreign exchange rates. For more information on these and other factors that could affect our results, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors” below and in our 2021 Annual Report, and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Factors Affecting Results” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Our results may be impacted by our ability to maintain competitive advantages and to continue to grow in the markets in which we operate, including in our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses, which may be impacted by our ability to provide a superior digital-first customer experience, including from our investments in technology and digital initiatives, to capitalize on the connected home opportunity, and to maintain relationships with significant clients, distributors and other parties or renew contracts with them on favorable terms. Our mobile business is subject to volatility in mobile device trade-in volumes based on the actual and anticipated timing of the release of new devices and carrier promotional programs, as well as to changes in consumer preferences. Our Lender-placed Insurance results will be impacted by changes in the housing market as well as inflation. In addition, across many of our businesses, we must respond to the actions of our

competitors, the threat of disruption and the competition for talent. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business, Strategic and Operational Risks—Our revenues and profits may decline if we are unable to maintain relationships with significant clients, distributors and other parties, or renew contracts with them on favorable terms, or if those parties face financial, reputational or regulatory issues,” “Significant competitive pressures, changes in customer preferences and disruption could adversely affect our results of operations” and “The success of our business depends on the execution of our strategy, including through the continuing service of key executives, senior leaders, highly-skilled personnel and a high-performing workforce” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2021 Annual Report describes the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The accounting policies and estimation process described in the 2021 Annual Report were consistently applied to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for Third Quarter 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for more information.

Results of Operations

Beginning with second quarter 2022, we changed the calculation of our segment measure of profitability, Adjusted EBITDA, to exclude certain businesses which we expect to fully exit, including the long-tail commercial liability businesses in Global Housing (sharing economy and small commercial businesses), as well as certain legacy long-duration insurance policies within Global Lifestyle (collectively referred to as “non-core operations”). All prior period amounts have been revised, which impacts segment Adjusted EBITDA but does not impact consolidated net income. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for more information.

We have also revised our prior period financial statements to reflect the correction of an error identified in second quarter 2022 related to reinsurance of claims and benefits payable within the Connected Living business unit in our Global Lifestyle segment, as well as other immaterial errors which were previously recorded in the periods in which we identified them. See Notes 2 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for more information. Additionally, prior period disclosures have been revised to include Hurricane Eta, which should have been classified as a reportable catastrophe.

Discontinued Operations

In August 2021, we completed the sale of the legal entities which comprise the businesses previously reported as the Global Preneed segment and certain businesses previously disposed of through reinsurance, which were previously reported in the Corporate and Other segment (collectively, the “disposed Global Preneed business”) to subsidiaries of CUNA Mutual Group for an aggregate purchase price at closing of $1.34 billion. For additional information, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net income from continuing operations decreased $143.7 million, or 95%, to $7.3 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $151.0 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of

equity securities, mostly related to the absence of unrealized gains from three equity positions that went public in Third Quarter 2021 through SPAC mergers, and an increase in net realized losses from sales of fixed maturity securities. The decrease was also driven by lower earnings contributions from Global Housing, mainly due to higher non-catastrophe loss experience and an increase in reportable catastrophe losses mostly due to Hurricane Ian, and lower earnings contributions from Global Lifestyle driven by our Connected Living business. The decrease was partially offset by the absence of a $16.3 million after-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the repayment of our 4.00% senior notes due March 2023.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net income from continuing operations decreased $270.4 million, or 56%, to $208.5 million for Nine Months 2022 from $478.9 million for Nine Months 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities, mostly related to the absence of net unrealized gains from three equity positions that went public in Third Quarter 2021 through SPAC mergers, and an increase in net realized losses from sales of fixed maturity securities. The decrease was also driven by lower earnings contributions from Global Housing, due to higher non-catastrophe loss experience, and a $33.6 million after-tax decrease in earnings from our non-core operations, mostly related to adverse prior year reserve development from the sharing economy business. The decrease was partially offset by higher earnings contributions from Global Lifestyle across our Connected Living and Global Automotive businesses.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10.4 million, or 6%, to $165.9 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $176.3 million for Third Quarter 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, mostly driven by $7.6 million of unfavorable impact of foreign exchange in Asia Pacific and Europe, lower margins from our domestic mobile trade-in and upgrade programs due to lower volumes, lower performance from our extended service contract programs due to both higher claims costs from wage and materials and additional investments in connected home, and lower international volumes from global mobile programs, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe. The decrease was also driven by lower net investment income in Global Automotive, after client profit sharing, and higher losses in Europe. The decrease was partially offset by a one-time client contract benefit of $11.2 million, continued mobile subscriber growth in North America and favorable loss experience in select ancillary products in Global Automotive.

Total revenues increased $38.9 million, or 2%, to $2.05 billion for Third Quarter 2022 from $2.01 billion for Third Quarter 2021. Net earned premiums increased $41.7 million, or 2%, primarily driven by continued organic growth from strong prior period U.S. sales in our Global Automotive business across all distribution channels and domestic mobile subscriber growth within our cable operator distribution channel. The increase in net earned premiums was partially offset by a decrease from the run-off of certain global mobile programs and unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange. Net investment income increased $9.8 million, or 20%, primarily due to higher fixed maturity asset levels and higher yields. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fees and other income of $12.6 million, or 5%, mainly driven by a decrease in domestic repair and logistics fees, partially offset by device protection growth in North America.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $49.3 million, or 3%, to $1.88 billion for Third Quarter 2022 from $1.83 billion for Third Quarter 2021. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $39.3 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher commission expenses, mainly from growth across our Global Automotive business and domestic mobile subscriber growth within our cable operator distribution channel, and higher operating costs to support growth. This was partially offset by lower commission expenses related to the run-off of certain global mobile programs and a one-time client contract benefit of $11.2 million. Policyholder benefits increased $10.0 million, or 3%, primarily due to growth across our Global Automotive and Connected Living businesses and higher claim costs in our extended service contracts programs,

partially offset by the run-off of certain global mobile programs and favorable loss experience from select domestic ancillary products in Global Automotive.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA increased $41.3 million, or 8%, to $587.3 million for Nine Months 2022 from $546.0 million for Nine Months 2021, due to strong results across Connected Living and Global Automotive. The increase was primarily driven by mobile device protection contributions in North America, including subscriber growth and favorable loss experience; higher net investment income, after client profit sharing, in Global Automotive, mainly from higher fixed maturity asset levels, higher yields and the sale of real estate joint venture partnerships; and favorable loss experience in select ancillary products and expansion across distribution channels in Global Automotive. The increase was partially offset by unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange, mainly in Asia Pacific and Europe, and higher operating costs associated with growth.

Total revenues increased $208.4 million, or 4%, to $6.11 billion for Nine Months 2022 from $5.90 billion for Nine Months 2021. Fees and other income increased $90.3 million, or 12%, mainly driven by an increase in global mobile devices serviced. Net earned premiums increased $86.2 million, or 2%, primarily driven by continued organic growth from strong prior period U.S. sales in our Global Automotive business across all distribution channels and domestic mobile subscriber growth within our cable operator distribution channel. The increase in net earned premiums was partially offset by the run-off of certain global mobile programs and unfavorable foreign exchange. Net investment income increased $31.9 million, or 22%, primarily due to higher fixed maturity asset levels, higher yields and higher real estate related income.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $167.1 million, or 3%, to $5.53 billion for Nine Months 2022 from $5.36 billion for Nine Months 2021. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $197.1 million, or 5%, due to higher commission expenses, mainly from growth across our Global Automotive business and domestic mobile subscriber growth within our cable operator distribution channel, as well as higher cost of sales in Connected Living due to an increase in global mobile devices serviced and higher operating cost to support growth. This was partially offset by lower commission expenses related to the run-off of certain global mobile programs. The increase in total benefits losses and expenses was partially offset by a decrease in policyholder benefits of $30.0 million, or 3%, primarily due to the run-off of certain global mobile programs and favorable loss experience from select domestic ancillary products in Global Automotive, partially offset by growth across our Global Automotive and Connected Living businesses.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $40.2 million, or 264%, to $(25.0) million for Third Quarter 2022 from $15.2 million for Third Quarter 2021. Pre-tax reportable catastrophes for Third Quarter 2022 increased $22.4 million to $124.1 million, compared to $101.7 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily due to Hurricane Ian. Reportable catastrophe losses for Hurricane Ian for Third Quarter 2022 were $118.1 million inclusive of our $80 million pre-tax per-event retention and $34.7 million of associated reinstatement premiums to restore up to Layer 3 of our U.S. catastrophe reinsurance program. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $17.8 million, or 15%, year-over-year, primarily driven by approximately $38.2 million of higher non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products, including $24.3 million of prior period loss development. In Lender-placed Insurance, the elevated loss experience and higher catastrophe reinsurance costs from increased exposures were mostly offset by higher average insured values and premium rate increases.

Total revenues increased $11.6 million, or 2%, to $502.2 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $490.6 million for Third Quarter 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net earned premiums of $15.4 million, or 4%, mostly from growth in Specialty and Other products and Lender-placed Insurance, as higher average insured values, policies in force and premium rates were partially offset by higher catastrophe reinsurance costs from increased exposures and higher reinstatement premiums related to Hurricane Ian. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fees and other income of $2.4 million, or 7%, primarily due to lower transaction fees in our Lender-placed Insurance business, and a decrease in net investment income of $1.4 million, or 7%, primarily due to lower income from real estate-related investments.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $51.8 million, or 11%, to $527.2 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $475.4 million for Third Quarter 2021. Policyholder benefits increased $49.1 million, or 19%, primarily driven by approximately $38.2 million of higher non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products, largely within Lender-placed Insurance and Multifamily Housing, including $24.3 million of prior period loss development mainly due to higher claims severity related to inflation. The $24.3 million of prior period loss development included approximately $10 million of prior accident year development and an additional $14 million for current accident year development for claims incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in policyholder benefits was also due to higher reportable catastrophe losses. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 1%, mainly due to lower ceding fee income from lower volumes in the National Flood Insurance Program.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $68.5 million, or 29%, to $166.7 million for Nine Months 2022 from $235.2 million for Nine Months 2021, mainly driven by higher non-catastrophe loss experience, primarily in Lender-placed Insurance due to higher claims severity from inflation, particularly from elevated fire losses, as well as higher catastrophe reinsurance premiums, including $34.7 million of reinstatement premiums related to Hurricane Ian. The decrease was partially offset by higher average insured values, policies in force and premium rates in Lender-Placed Insurance.

Total revenues increased $14.1 million, or 1%, to $1.52 billion for Nine Months 2022 from $1.51 billion for Nine Months 2021. Net earned premiums increased $24.5 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher average insured values, policies in force and premium rates in our Lender-placed Insurance business, partially offset by higher catastrophe reinsurance costs. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in fees and other income of $6.3 million, or 6%, primarily due to a decline in our Multifamily Housing and Lender-placed Insurance businesses, and a decrease in net investment income of $4.1 million, or 7%, primarily due to lower income from real estate-related investments.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $82.6 million, or 6%, to $1.36 billion for Nine Months 2022 from $1.27 billion for Nine Months 2021. Policyholder benefits increased $65.9 million, or 10%, due to higher non-catastrophe loss experience as described above. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $16.7 million, or 3%, mainly due to higher operating costs to support growth.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA was $(24.9) million for Third Quarter 2022 compared to $(23.0) million for Third Quarter 2021. The change in results was primarily due to a decrease in net investment income.

Total revenues decreased $1.6 million, or 22%, to $5.7 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $7.3 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net investment income of $1.7 million, or 23%, mostly due to a reduction in income from limited partnerships, partially offset by increased income from higher yields.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $30.6 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $30.3 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily driven by higher employee-related and third party consulting expenses.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA was $(72.0) million for Nine Months 2022 compared to $(67.8) million for Nine Months 2021. The change in results was primarily due to higher employee-related and technology expenses.

Total revenues decreased $1.9 million, or 8%, to $21.4 million for Nine Months 2022 from $23.3 million for Nine Months 2021 primarily driven by a decrease in net investment income of $2.2 million, or 10%, mostly due a reduction in income from limited partnerships, partially offset by increased income from higher invested assets balances, primarily reflecting the remaining proceeds from the sale of Global Preneed.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $2.3 million, or 3%, to $93.4 million for Nine Months 2022 from $91.1 million for Nine Months 2021. General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 2%, to $92.9 million for Nine Months 2022 from $91.1 million for Nine Months 2021, primarily due to higher employee-related and technology expenses.

Investments

We had total investments of $7.52 billion and $8.67 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net unrealized gains on our fixed maturity securities portfolio decreased by $1,037.1 million during Nine Months 2022, from $311.4 million as of December 31, 2021 to a net unrealized loss of $725.7 million as of September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in Treasury yields.

Investment expenses	(3.6)		(4.3)		(10.8)		(11.0)
Net investment income	$	83.5	$	76.0	$	261.8	$	235.2

Net investment income increased $7.5 million, or 10%, to $83.5 million for Third Quarter 2022 from $76.0 million for Third Quarter 2021, primarily driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and cash and cash equivalents due to higher yields partially offset by lower income from other investments due to the absence of gains recorded in Third Quarter 2021 from the sale of one real estate property and from an increase in valuations of certain limited partnerships.

Net realized losses on investments and fair value changes to equity securities were $27.4 million for Third Quarter 2022 compared to net gains of $112.1 million for Third Quarter 2021. The change in Third Quarter 2022 was primarily driven by $21.9 million of net realized losses from sales of fixed maturity securities. The change in Third Quarter 2021 was primarily driven by $94.0 million of net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities that were driven by $74.6 million of unrealized gains from three equity positions that went public in Third Quarter 2021, and $16.1 million of net realized gains from sales of fixed maturity securities.

Net investment income increased $26.6 million, or 11%, to $261.8 million for Nine Months 2022 from $235.2 million for Nine Months 2021, primarily driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and cash and cash equivalents due to higher yields and higher income from commercial mortgage loans due to higher asset levels and prepayment fees. This was partially offset by lower income from other investments mostly due to a reduction in income from limited partnerships.

Net realized losses on investments and fair value changes to equity securities were $166.2 million for Nine Months 2022 compared to net gains of $123.2 million for Nine Months 2021. The change in Nine Months 2022 was primarily driven by $122.4 million of net unrealized losses from changes in fair value of equity securities that included a $94.3 million decrease in net unrealized gains from four equity positions that went public in 2021 through SPAC mergers. The net realized losses were also driven by $63.0 million of net realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities, partially offset by $20.0 million of net realized gains on sales of equity securities. The change in Nine Months 2021 was primarily driven by $98.5 million of net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities that included $74.6 million of unrealized gains from three equity positions that went public in Third Quarter 2021, and $19.3 million of net realized gains from sales of fixed maturity securities.

As of September 30, 2022, we owned $17.3 million of securities guaranteed by financial guarantee insurance companies. Included in this amount was $14.5 million of municipal securities, whose credit rating was A+ with the guarantee, but would have had a rating of AA- without the guarantee.

For more information on our investments, see Notes 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Catastrophe Reinsurance Program

In July 2022, we finalized our 2022 property catastrophe reinsurance program. 2022 reinsurance premiums for this program are estimated to be approximately $189.0 million pre-tax compared to approximately $149.0 million pre-tax for 2021, predominantly reflecting increased lender-placed exposure as a result of higher average insured values compared to 2021. Coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best. Actual reinsurance premiums will vary if exposure changes significantly from estimates or if reinstatement premiums are required due to catastrophe events.

The U.S. per-occurrence catastrophe coverage includes a main reinsurance program providing $1.16 billion of coverage in excess of an $80.0 million retention per event. In addition, it includes multiyear reinsurance contracts covering approximately 45% of the U.S. program, reducing volatility in future reinsurance costs. All layers of the program allow for one automatic reinstatement, except the first layer, which has two reinstatements. The 2022 U.S. program also maintains a cascading feature that provides multi-event protection in which higher coverage layers (Layers 3 through 6) drop down to $110.0 million as the lower layers and reinstatement limit are exhausted. Layer 7 does not cascade, with a retention of $955.0 million and a limit of $290.0 million. When combined with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, the U.S. program is covered for gross Florida losses of up to approximately $1.37 billion.

The 2022 catastrophe reinsurance program also includes Caribbean protection of up to $150.0 million, including a $2.0 million co-participation on the top layer, in excess of a $20.0 million retention.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months, including the ability to pay interest on our debt and dividends on our common stock.

Regulatory Requirements

Assurant, Inc. is a holding company and, as such, has limited direct operations of its own. Our assets consist primarily of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our future cash flows depend upon the availability of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments from our subsidiaries, such as payments under our tax allocation agreement and under management agreements with our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries’ ability to pay such dividends and make such other payments is regulated by the states and territories in which our subsidiaries are domiciled. These dividend regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and by type of insurance provided by the applicable subsidiary, but generally require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends these subsidiaries can pay to the holding company. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation—U.S. Insurance Regulation” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risks—Changes in insurance regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth” in our 2021 Annual Report. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends from insurance subsidiaries is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”). For the year ending December 31, 2022, the maximum amount of dividends our regulated U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries could pay us, under applicable laws and regulations currently in effect and without prior regulatory approval, is approximately $475.3 million. In addition, our international and non-insurance subsidiaries provide additional sources of dividends.

Regulators or rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, increasing capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries or the enterprise.

In August 2022, A.M. Best upgraded the insurance financial strength ratings on our insurance operating subsidiaries, American Bankers Life Assurance Company of Florida (“ABLAC”) and Caribbean American Life Assurance Company, to A from A- with a stable outlook. In June 2022, Moody’s upgraded the senior debt rating of Assurant, Inc. to Baa2 from Baa3 with a stable outlook and upgraded the insurance financial strength ratings on our insurance operating subsidiaries, American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida, ABLAC and American Security Insurance Company, to A2 from A3 with a stable outlook. For further information on our ratings and the risks of ratings downgrades, see “Item 1—Business—Ratings” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Financial Risks—A decline in the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Holding Company

As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $528.8 million in holding company liquidity, which was $303.8 million above our targeted minimum level of $225.0 million. The target minimum level of holding company liquidity, which can be used for unforeseen capital needs at our subsidiaries or liquidity needs at the holding company, is calibrated based on approximately one year of corporate operating and interest expenses. We use the term “holding company liquidity” to represent the portion of cash and other liquid marketable securities held at Assurant, Inc., out of a total of $615.3 million of holding company investment securities and cash, which we are not otherwise holding for a specific purpose as of the balance sheet date. We can use such assets for stock repurchases, stockholder dividends, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

Dividends or returns of capital paid by our subsidiaries, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, were $460.4 million for Nine Months 2022. In 2021, dividends, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, were $728.6 million (including approximately $12.0 million of dividends from subsidiaries, net of infusions, included in the disposed Global Preneed business). We use these cash inflows primarily to pay holding company operating expenses, to make interest payments on indebtedness, to make dividend payments to our common stockholders, to fund investments and acquisitions, and to repurchase our common stock. From time to time, we may also seek to purchase outstanding debt in open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions.

Dividends and Repurchases

During Nine Months 2022, we made common stock repurchases and paid common stock dividends of $667.3 million.

We paid dividends of $0.68 per common share on September 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 29, 2022. Any determination to pay future dividends on our outstanding common stock will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon various factors, including: our subsidiaries’ payments of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments to us; our results of operations and cash flows; our financial condition and capital requirements; general business conditions and growth prospects; any legal, tax, regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends; and any other factors the Board deems relevant. The Credit Facility (as defined below) also contains limitations on our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and repurchase capital stock if we are in default, or such dividend payments or repurchases would cause us to be in default, of our obligations thereunder. In addition, if we elect to defer the payment of interest on our 7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due March 2048 or our 5.25% Subordinated Notes due January 2061 (refer to “—Senior and Subordinated Notes” below), we generally may not make payments on or repurchase any shares of our capital stock.

During Nine Months 2022, we repurchased 3,257,671 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $554.6 million, exclusive of commissions. In May 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $900.0 million, respectively, of our outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2022, $287.5 million aggregate cost at purchase remained unused under the repurchase authorization. The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on various factors, including those listed above.

We expect to deploy capital primarily to support business growth by funding investments, mergers and acquisitions and returning capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends, subject to Board approval and market conditions. As previously announced, we returned $900.0 million of the Global Preneed net proceeds through share repurchases within one year of closing, completing the return in second quarter 2022. For additional information, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Assurant Subsidiaries

The primary sources of funds for our subsidiaries consist of premiums and fees collected, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments and net investment income. Cash is primarily used to pay insurance claims, agent commissions, operating expenses and taxes. We generally invest our subsidiaries’ excess funds in order to generate investment income.

We conduct periodic asset liability studies to measure the duration of our insurance liabilities, to develop optimal asset portfolio maturity structures for our significant lines of business and ultimately to assess that cash flows are sufficient to meet the timing of cash needs. These studies are conducted in accordance with formal company-wide Asset Liability Management guidelines.

To complete a study for a particular line of business, models are developed to project asset and liability cash flows and balance sheet items under a large, varied set of plausible economic scenarios. These models consider many factors including the current investment portfolio, the required capital for the related assets and liabilities, our tax position and projected cash flows from both existing and projected new business. For risks related to modeling, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors – Financial Risks –

Actual results may differ materially from the analytical models we use to assist in our decision-making in key areas such as pricing, catastrophe risks, reserving and capital management.” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Alternative asset portfolio structures are analyzed for significant lines of business. An investment portfolio maturity structure is then selected from these profiles given our return hurdle and risk appetite. Scenario testing of significant liability assumptions and new business projections is also performed.

Our liabilities generally have limited policyholder optionality, which means that the timing of payments is generally insensitive to the interest rate environment. In addition, our investment portfolio is largely comprised of highly liquid fixed-maturity securities with a sufficient component of such securities invested that are near maturity which may be sold with minimal risk of loss to meet cash needs.

Generally, our subsidiaries’ premiums, fees and investment income, along with planned asset sales and maturities, provide sufficient cash to pay claims and expenses. However, there may be instances when unexpected cash needs arise in excess of that available from usual operating sources. In such instances, we have several options to raise needed funds, including selling assets from the subsidiaries’ investment portfolios, using holding company cash (if available), issuing commercial paper, or drawing funds from the Credit Facility.

Senior and Subordinated Notes

The following table shows the principal amount and carrying value of our outstanding debt, less unamortized discount and issuance costs as applicable, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Principal Amount		Carrying Value		Principal Amount		Carrying Value
4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023	$	225.0	$	224.5	$	300.0	$	299.0
4.90% Senior Notes due March 2028	300.0		297.8		300.0		297.5
3.70% Senior Notes due February 2030	350.0		347.5		350.0		347.3
2.65% Senior Notes due January 2032	350.0		346.6		350.0		346.4
6.75% Senior Notes due February 2034	275.0		272.5		275.0		272.4
7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due March 2048	400.0		396.3		400.0		395.9
5.25% Subordinated Notes due January 2061	250.0		244.1		250.0		244.0
Total Debt			$	2,129.3			$	2,202.5

In June 2022, we redeemed $75.0 million of the $300.0 million then outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”) at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million, which included a $1.0 million make-whole premium and $0.2 million in debt issuance costs that were written off, partially offset by $0.3 million in unamortized hedging gains recognized upon extinguishment. The gain was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded through interest expense. In the next five years, we have one upcoming debt maturity in September 2023 when the 2023 Senior Notes will become due and payable.

Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program

We have a $500.0 million five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $500.0 million, which may be increased up to $700.0 million. The Credit Facility is available until December 2026, provided we are in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sublimit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million. The proceeds from these loans may be used for our commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes.

We made no borrowings using the Credit Facility during Nine Months 2022 and no loans were outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

Our commercial paper program requires us to maintain liquidity facilities either in an available amount equal to any outstanding notes from the program or in an amount sufficient to maintain the ratings assigned to the notes issued from the

program. Our commercial paper is rated AMB-1 by A.M. Best, P-2 by Moody’s and A-2 by S&P. Our subsidiaries do not maintain commercial paper or other borrowing facilities. This program is currently backed up by the Credit Facility, of which $495.5 million out of the $500.0 million was available as of September 30, 2022, due to $4.5 million of letters of credit outstanding.

We did not use the commercial paper program during Nine Months 2022 and there were no amounts relating to the commercial paper program outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

Cash Flows

We monitor cash flows at the consolidated, holding company and subsidiary levels. Cash flow forecasts at the consolidated and subsidiary levels are provided on a monthly basis, and we use trend and variance analyses to project future cash needs making adjustments to the forecasts when needed.

The table below shows our net cash flows for the periods indicated:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
Net cash provided by (used in):	2022		2021
Operating activities - continuing operations	$	319.8	$	375.8
Operating activities - discontinued operations	—		151.2
Operating activities	319.8		527.0
Investing activities - continuing operations	(134.9)		181.9
Investing activities - discontinued operations	—		(145.2)
Investing activities	(134.9)		36.7
Financing activities - continuing operations	(767.2)		(757.4)
Financing activities - discontinued operations	—		—
Financing activities	(767.2)		(757.4)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents - continuing operations	(42.7)		(7.2)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents - discontinued operations	—		0.2
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(42.7)		(7.0)
Net change in cash	$	(625.0)	$	(200.7)

We typically generate operating cash inflows from premiums collected from our insurance products, fees received for services and income received from our investments, while outflows consist of policy acquisition costs, benefits paid and operating expenses. These net cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees, and investment income received and expenses paid.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $319.8 million for Nine Months 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $375.8 million for Nine Months 2021. The decrease in net operating cash flows was primarily driven by the timing of our mobile business operations mostly due to lower collections of premiums and fee receivables and an increase in payments to vendors for the acquisition of mobile devices used to meet insurance claims or generate profits through sales to third parties. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash from the receipt of a tax refund that was in excess of tax payments for Nine Months 2022.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $134.9 million for Nine Months 2022 compared to net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $181.9 million for Nine Months 2021. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in cash from sales of subsidiaries, partially offset by an increase in cash from sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities, net of purchases, due to the ongoing management of our investment portfolio. Nine Months 2021 included the receipt of $1.31 billion of proceeds, net of $27.3 million of cash transferred, from the sale of the disposed Global Preneed business that were mostly reinvested in short term high quality liquid fixed income investments.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $767.2 million for Nine Months 2022 compared to net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations of $757.4 million for Nine Months 2021. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due a higher cash outflow for share repurchases mostly due to an increase in the cost per share of repurchases for Nine Months 2022 compared to Nine Months 2021.

The table below shows our cash outflows for interest and dividends for the periods indicated:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Interest paid on debt	$	105.3	$	107.0
Common stock dividends	112.7		118.5
Preferred stock dividends	—		4.7
Total	$	218.0	$	230.2

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which we are the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which we are required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. We had $7.0 million and $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources of the Company.
