2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim financial data as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation, including the change to the segment measure of profitability described in Note 5.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 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

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

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.

4. Dispositions

Sale of John Alden Life Insurance Company

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its sale of John Alden Life Insurance Company (“JALIC”), a runoff 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheets. The major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale included $908.2 million and $915.8 million of future policy benefits and expenses, $875.4 million and $881.6 million of reinsurance recoverables, $146.7 million and $159.6 million of other investments and $114.1 million and $117.2 million of claims and benefits payable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Most of the $875.4 million and $881.6 million reinsurance recoverables balance for JALIC, which was included in assets held for sale as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, was reinsured with Employers Reassurance Corporation (“ERAC”) and was uncollateralized.

5. Segment Information

In conjunction with the transition of our new CEO and chief operating decision maker, 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 January 1, 2022. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the new segment measure for profitability.

As of March 31, 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, 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.

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 $277.6 million and $164.9 million for Global Lifestyle and $22.4 million and $24.5 million for Global Housing for the three months ended March 31, 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.

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

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 $320.0 million and $193.1 million, respectively, as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $22.6 million and $11.7 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $87.2 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 7% and 2% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Approximately 85% and 94% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 2,460 and 1,202 individual securities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not recognize credit-related losses during the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, approximately 35% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Texas and Nevada. 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 March 31, 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

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

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 March 31, 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 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 March 31, 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 Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period	$	1,595.9	$	1,610.3
Less: Reinsurance ceded and other	(825.6)		(849.4)
Net claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period	770.3		760.9
Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses related to:
Current year	524.6		574.9
Prior years	(30.1)		(46.2)
Total incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses	494.5		528.7
Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to:
Current year	211.4		235.8
Prior years	259.2		268.3
Total paid losses and loss adjustment expenses	470.6		504.1
Net claims and benefits payable, at end of period	794.2		785.5
Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other (1)	741.5		792.5
Claims and benefits payable, at end of period (1)	$	1,535.7	$	1,578.0

(1)Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $75.4 million and $66.1 million as of March 31, 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 favorable loss development in both periods presented in the roll forward table above. Global Lifestyle contributed $33.1 million and $30.6 million to the net favorable loss development during the three months ended March 31, 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. 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 had net unfavorable loss development of $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and net favorable loss development of $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net unfavorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to sharing economy products from a reserve adjustment and adverse development from policies previously written under less favorable terms. The net unfavorable loss development from non-catastrophe losses was partially offset by net favorable loss development of $1.6 million from prior catastrophe events. The favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to Lender-placed Insurance products from the most recent accident years due to lower than expected non-catastrophe claim frequency. All others contributed $4.6 million and $3.0 million on net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

12. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021.

13. 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.

14. 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 millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Qualified Pension Benefits				Unfunded Non-qualified Pension Benefits				Retirement Health Benefits
	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,				For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021
Interest cost	$	4.2	$	3.5	$	0.4	$	0.3	$	—	$	—
Expected return on plan assets	(6.9)		(6.9)		—		—		(0.3)		(0.4)
Amortization of prior service credit	—		—		—		—		(3.4)		(3.4)
Amortization of net loss (gain)	0.8		1.2		0.5		0.8		(0.2)		(0.1)

Net periodic benefit cost	$	(1.9)	$	(2.2)	$	0.9	$	1.1	$	(3.9)	$	(3.9)

The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $83.5 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 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.

15. 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 $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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.

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and accompanying notes (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”).

As of March 31, 2022, the Company 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 new CEO and chief operating decision maker, we changed our 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 January 1, 2022. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the new segment measure for profitability.

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, 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 $3.0 million, or 2%, to $145.5 million for First Quarter 2022 from $148.5 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities, partially offset by lower reportable catastrophes (reportable catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments, and including reinstatement and other premiums). We incurred $2.4 million of after-tax reportable catastrophes in First Quarter 2022, compared to $34.5 million in First Quarter 2021.

Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.4 million, or 13%, to $217.4 million for First Quarter 2022 from $193.0 million for First Quarter 2021, due to strong results across Connected Living and Global Automotive. In Connected Living, mobile increased primarily from device protection performance in North America, including more favorable loss experience and subscriber growth, as well as an increase in global mobile devices serviced, mainly from higher trade-in volumes. Global Automotive increased from higher investment income, favorable loss experience in select ancillary products and expansion across distribution channels.

Global Lifestyle net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $99.3 million, or 5%, to $1.96 billion for First Quarter 2022 from $1.86 billion for First Quarter 2021, led by Global Automotive premium increases from strong prior period sales. Connected Living increased modestly as mobile fee income growth from service and repair and trade-in volumes was partially offset by premium declines in runoff mobile programs.

Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.3 million, or 11%, to $103.8 million for First Quarter 2022 from $93.5 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily due to a $40.5 million pre-tax decrease in reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $30.2 million, or 22%, due to higher non-catastrophe loss experience, including a $13.8 million increase within sharing economy offerings primarily related to a reserve adjustment and adverse development from policies previously written under less favorable terms. Lender-placed Insurance also experienced higher non-catastrophe losses mainly from elevated fire claims.

Global Housing net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $3.8 million, or 1%, to $496.8 million for First Quarter 2022 from $493.0 million for First Quarter 2021, as growth in Lender-placed Insurance from higher average insured values and premium rates and Multifamily Housing was partially offset by a decline in Specialty and Other from client runoff.

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA was $(22.2) million for First Quarter 2022 compared to $(27.9) million for First Quarter 2021, primarily driven by lower employee-related expenses and an increase in net investment income from higher asset balances.

Critical Factors Affecting Results

Our results depend on, among other things, the appropriateness of our product pricing, underwriting, the accuracy of our reserving methodology for future policyholder benefits and claims, the frequency and severity of reportable and non-reportable catastrophes, 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 financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, including the conflict in Ukraine, fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, including the current inflationary environment, and competition, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. 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 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 smart 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 revenues will also be impacted by changes in the housing market. 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.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Net income from continuing operations decreased $3.0 million, or 2%, to $145.5 million for First Quarter 2022 from $148.5 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities mostly related to four equity positions that went public in 2021 through SPAC mergers and preferred stocks given an increase in interest rates. The decrease was also due to higher non-catastrophe loss experience in Global Housing, primarily within our sharing economy offerings, as well as Lender-placed Insurance. These decreases were partially offset by lower reportable catastrophes, strong growth in Global Lifestyle driven by Connected Living and Global Automotive results, as well as a $9.0 million one-time tax benefit from one of our international businesses.

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 (“CUNA”) 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.

Total	$	1,961.6	$	1,862.3

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA increased $24.4 million, or 13%, to $217.4 million for First Quarter 2022 from $193.0 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily due to strong results across Connected Living and Global Automotive. In Connected Living, mobile increased primarily from device protection performance in North America from carrier and cable operator clients, including more favorable loss experience and subscriber growth, as well as an increase in global mobile devices serviced, mainly from higher trade-in volumes. Global Automotive increased from higher net investment income, favorable loss experience in select ancillary products and expansion across all distribution channels.

Total revenues increased $105.5 million, or 6%, to $2.02 billion for First Quarter 2022 from $1.91 billion for First Quarter 2021. Fees and other income increased $74.0 million, or 35%, mainly driven by growth in our mobile business from our recently launched service and repair capabilities and higher trade-in volumes. Net earned premiums increased $25.3 million, or 2%, primarily driven by continued organic growth from strong 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 runoff of certain global mobile programs. Net investment income increased $6.2 million, or 12%, primarily due to higher real estate related income, higher fixed maturity asset levels and higher prepayment penalties for commercial mortgage loans on real estate.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $81.1 million, or 5%, to $1.80 billion for First Quarter 2022 from $1.72 billion for First Quarter 2021. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $105.2 million, or 8%, primarily due to higher cost of sales in Connected Living from our recently launched service and repair capabilities and higher trade-in volumes. Higher commission expenses also contributed to the increase, mainly from growth across our Global Automotive business and domestic mobile subscriber growth within our cable operator distribution channel, which was partially offset by the runoff of certain global mobile programs. Policyholder benefits decreased $24.1 million, or 7%, primarily due to the runoff of certain global mobile programs in our Connected Living business and favorable loss experience within Global Automotive from select domestic ancillary products, partially offset by growth across our Global Automotive and Connected Living businesses.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.3 million, or 11%, to $103.8 million for First Quarter 2022 from $93.5 million for First Quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for First Quarter 2022 included $3.1 million of reportable catastrophes compared to $43.6 million for First Quarter 2021. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $30.2 million, or 22%, driven by higher non-catastrophe loss experience, including a $13.8 million increase within sharing economy offerings primarily related to a reserve adjustment and adverse development from policies previously written under less favorable terms. Lender-placed Insurance also experienced higher non-catastrophe losses mainly from elevated fire losses and an increase in claims costs, which were partially offset by higher average insured values and premium rates.

Total revenues increased $5.2 million, or 1%, to $517.6 million for First Quarter 2022 from $512.4 million for First Quarter 2021. Net earned premiums increased $5.5 million, or 1%, primarily due to higher average insured values and premium rates in our Lender-placed Insurance business, and continued growth from renters insurance in our Multifamily Housing business. These increases were partially offset by a decline in Specialty and Other from client run-off and higher estimated catastrophe premium from exposure growth primarily in Lender-placed Insurance.

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 1%, to $413.8 million for First Quarter 2022 from $418.9 million for First Quarter 2021. Policyholder benefits decreased $10.1 million, or 5%, from lower reportable catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher non-catastrophe loss experience, as described above. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.0 million, or 2%, mainly due to lower reclassification of loss adjustment expenses to policyholder benefits due to lower claims volume compared to First Quarter 2021 and higher operating costs due to growth.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Adjusted EBITDA was $(22.2) million for First Quarter 2022 compared to $(27.9) million for First Quarter 2021. The change in results was primarily due to lower employee-related expenses and higher net investment income from higher invested asset balances.

Total revenues increased $2.6 million, or 42%, to $8.8 million for First Quarter 2022 from $6.2 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily driven by net investment income that increased by $2.4 million, or 39%, mostly due to higher invested asset balances primarily reflecting the remaining proceeds from the sale of Global Preneed.

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $3.1 million, or 9%, to $31.0 million for First Quarter 2022 from $34.1 million for First Quarter 2021, due to lower employee-related expenses.

Investments

We had total investments of $8.22 billion and $8.67 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net unrealized gains on our fixed maturity securities portfolio decreased by $419.5 million during First Quarter 2022, from $311.4 million as of December 31, 2021 to a net unrealized loss of $108.1 million as of March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in Treasury yields.

The following table shows the credit quality of our fixed maturity securities portfolio as of the dates indicated:


	Fair value as of
Fixed Maturity Securities by Credit Quality	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
Aaa / Aa / A	$	3,879.2	56.3	%	$	4,066.5	56.4	%

Total	$	6,887.9	100.0	%	$	7,215.3	100.0	%

The following table shows the major categories of net investment income for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Fixed maturity securities	$	62.3	$	57.4
Equity securities	3.7		3.6
Commercial mortgage loans on real estate	3.9		1.3

Total investment income	89.9		79.4
Investment expenses	(3.6)		(3.1)
Net investment income	$	86.3	$	76.3

Net investment income increased $10.0 million, or 13%, to $86.3 million for First Quarter 2022 from $76.3 million for First Quarter 2021, primarily driven by higher invested assets in fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans on real estate and increases in Other investments related to higher sales and valuations.

Net realized losses on investments and fair value changes to equity securities were $62.4 million for First Quarter 2022 compared to net gains of $0.8 million for First Quarter 2021. First Quarter 2022 was mostly due to $55.0 million of net unrealized losses from changes in fair value of equity securities that were driven by a $45.8 million decrease in net unrealized gains from four equity positions that went public in 2021 through SPAC mergers and a $17.9 million decrease in net unrealized gains from preferred stocks mostly related to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by $10.0 million of unrealized gains from an equity security accounted for under the measurement alternative in connection with a market observable event that occurred in First Quarter 2022. The net realized losses were also driven by a $21.5 million increase in net realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities that was partially offset by a $10.9 million increase in net realized gains on sales of equity securities.

As of March 31, 2022, we owned $17.2 million of securities guaranteed by financial guarantee insurance companies. Included in this amount was $13.7 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.

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.

Holding Company

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $737.6 million in holding company liquidity, which was $512.6 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 $857.1 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 $129.1 million for Three 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 Three Months 2022, we made common stock repurchases and paid common stock dividends of $279.8 million.

We paid dividends of $0.68 per common share on March 21, 2022 to stockholders of record as of February 28, 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 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 Three Months 2022, we repurchased 1,480,000 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $242.4 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 March 31, 2022, $599.7 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 intend to return $900.0 million of the Global Preneed net proceeds through share repurchases within one year of closing. Through March 31, 2022, we have completed approximately 85% of the $900.0 million in share repurchases. 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 (as defined below).

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021

Total Debt			$	2,203.0			$	2,202.5

In the next five years, we have one upcoming debt maturity in September 2023 when the 4.20% Senior Notes with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $300.0 million 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 Three Months 2022 and no loans were outstanding as of March 31, 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-3 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 March 31, 2022, due to $4.5 million of letters of credit outstanding.

We did not use the commercial paper program during Three Months 2022 and there were no amounts relating to the commercial paper program outstanding as of March 31, 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 Three Months Ended March 31,
Net cash provided by (used in):	2022		2021

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 used in operating activities from continuing operations was $501.1 million for Three Months 2022 compared to net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $468.3 million for Three Months 2021. Net cash used in operating activities for both First Quarter 2022 and First Quarter 2021 was driven by our mobile operations due to timing from both a reduction in premium and fees collected during the period as well as an increase in payments to various vendors for the acquisition of mobile devices used to meet insurance claims or generate profits through sales to third parties. The increase in net cash used in operations was impacted by the growth in our mobile business due to expanded relationships and our recently launched service and repair capabilities, partially offset by a reduction in commission payments also due to timing. Net cash used in operations for First Quarter 2021 included certain follow-on commission payments associated with fourth quarter 2020 premiums.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $13.3 million for Three Months 2022 compared to net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $63.2 million for Three Months 2021. The change in cash flows from investing activities was primarily driven by the ongoing management of our investment portfolio. Additionally, net cash provided by investing activities for First Quarter 2021 included a $60.1 million net cash outflow for transfers from the disposal business to the continuing operations related to investments that were not included in the sale.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $277.5 million for Three Months 2022 compared to net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations of $153.0 million for Three Months 2021. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was mainly due to a $188.0 million increase in share repurchases, mainly funded using the net proceeds from the Global Preneed sale. This was partially offset by a $50.0 million repayment of our Floating Rate Senior Notes due March 2021 in First Quarter 2021.

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


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Interest paid on debt	$	52.1	$	50.5
Common stock dividends	37.4		38.2
Preferred stock dividends	—		4.7
Total	$	89.5	$	93.4

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 $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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.
