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 consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are 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 period presentation, including the changes to the composition of the reportable segments described in Note 4 and changes in future policy benefits and expenses and reinsurance recoverables from the modified retrospective application of the accounting pronouncement, targeted improvements to long duration contracts, as described in Notes 3 and 9.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The following table provides a description of ASUs recently issued by the FASB and the impact of their adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adopted

The table below describes the impacts of the ASUs adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2023:

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


Standard	Summary of the Standard	Effective date Method of Adoption	Impact of the Standard on the Company’s Financial Statements
ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, as amended by ASU 2019-09, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date, as amended by ASU 2020-11, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application and as amended by ASU 2022-05, Financial services—Insurance (Topic 944): Transition for Sold Contracts	The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses 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 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued guidance to provide entities an accounting policy election to not apply the accounting guidance to contracts or legal entities sold and derecognized before the effective date when the entity has no significant continuing involvement with them. The election may be applied on a transaction-by-transaction basis.	January 1, 2023, to be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively to January 1, 2021 (with early adoption permitted)	The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method on liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses to January 1, 2021 for long-term care insurance contracts that have been fully reinsured. The Company also adopted the amended guidance in ASU 2022-05 and elected to not apply the amended accounting guidance to long duration contracts of legal entities sold and derecognized before the January 1, 2023 effective date as the Company has no significant continuing involvement with them. The adoption of this standard along with the amended guidance on transition has no impact on equity or net income on the long-term care contracts as they are fully reinsured with third party reinsurers. However, disclosure along with a roll-forward table on a gross basis on the long-term care business is presented in Note 9.

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers			The guidance improves 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 acquired 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.			January 1, 2023, to be applied prospectively (with early adoption permitted).			The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2023. The amendments will be applied to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments.

Not Yet Adopted

As of September 30, 2023, ASUs not yet adopted were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

4. Segment Information

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two reportable operating segments, Global Lifestyle and Global Housing. In addition, we report the Corporate and Other segment, which includes corporate employee-related expenses and activities of the holding company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability, as net income, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, non-core operations (defined below), restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), Assurant Health runoff operations (described below), interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, as well as other highly variable or unusual items.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company realigned the composition of its reportable operating segments to correspond with changes to its operating structure. As a result, the Global Housing segment is now comprised of two key lines of business: Homeowners, and Renters and Other. Certain specialty products, mainly the leased and financed business, previously reported in the Global Housing segment are now reported in Global Lifestyle to better align with the Company’s go-to-market strategy. This realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results.

The following table presents segment Adjusted EBITDA with a reconciliation to net income:

The Company has ceased depreciation of these assets which are recorded at carrying value, which is less than the estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. During third quarter 2023, the Company submitted an agreement to a potential acquiror, which is subject to review, approval, execution and other conditions. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

5. 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 $258.3 million for Global Lifestyle and $22.3 million and $19.8 million for Global Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $779.5 million and $826.6 million for Global Lifestyle and $63.1 million and $63.0 million for Global Housing for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Global Lifestyle

In the Global Lifestyle segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the 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

Assurant, Inc.

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

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 Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Homeowners business. As part of the Homeowners 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 $311.5 million and $161.6 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023, and $271.7 million and $171.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $22.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $64.8 million and $69.0 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $51.7 million and $61.4 million, respectively, of such intangible assets attributed to service contracts that will be expensed over the term of the client contracts.

recognize credit-related losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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, 2023, approximately 37% 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 $10.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and from $0.1 million to $9.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

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 annual net operating income to its annual 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

7. 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

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.

9. 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.

Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other (1)	869.5		1,958.0
Claims and benefits payable, at end of period (1)	$	2,010.8	$	2,941.4

(1)Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $104.9 million and $960.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 favorable loss development of $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and net unfavorable loss development of $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as presented in the roll forward table above.

Global Lifestyle contributed $27.4 million and $44.5 million in net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net favorable loss development in both periods was attributable to nearly all lines of business in Global Lifestyle across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience. Positive trends in frequency and severity drove the significant favorable development in Global Automotive in 2022, but development was flat in 2023 due to inflationary impacts on parts and labor costs. 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 $30.0 million of net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $22.8 million of net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of favorable non-catastrophe development of $40.4 million, partially offset by unfavorable development from prior catastrophe events of $10.4 million. The favorable non-

catastrophe development was driven by $37.7 million from lender-placed hazard primarily in accident year 2022 due to favorable frequency and severity trends from lower than anticipated inflation. The unfavorable development primarily consisted of $9.2 million related to Winter Storm Elliott (which occurred in late December 2022) as a result of higher severity than initially projected. The net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable primarily to Tropical Storm Eta from accident year 2020, where the loss development pattern had been longer than typical and the average claim severities were higher than expected.

The sharing economy and small commercial lines of business, reported within non-core operations, contributed $32.0 million and $56.6 million in net unfavorable loss development during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $32.0 million in net unfavorable loss development consisted of $32.4 million from sharing economy, driven by reserve increases related to higher frequency expectations for the number of claims closed with indemnity payment, partially offset by $0.4 million in favorable loss development from small commercial. The net unfavorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable primarily to emerging adverse development trends on known claims in sharing economy, as well as reserve assumption revisions to reflect relevant industry benchmarks.

All others contributed $5.3 million and $2.4 million of net favorable loss development for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Long-Duration Contracts

The Company adopted the targeted improvements accounting guidance for long-duration insurance contracts as of January 1, 2023, using a modified retrospective method on liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses to January 1, 2021 for long-term care insurance contracts that have been fully reinsured. The Company also elected to not apply the amended accounting guidance to long-duration contracts of legal entities sold and derecognized before the January 1, 2023 effective date as the Company has no significant continuing involvement with them.

Under the transition guidance, the long-term care insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts based on the contract’s issue year. Premiums are recognized when due as net earned premiums in the consolidated statement of operations. A future policy benefits and expenses reserve is recorded as the present value of estimated future policy benefits and expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums. The net premium ratio (“NPR”) approach is used to recognize a liability when expected insurance benefits are accrued over the life of the contract in proportion to premium revenue. Policy expense assumptions are locked in as of December 31, 2020 as the long-term care insurance products are in run-off as of the transition date. Actual premiums and benefits are recognized on a quarterly basis in the consolidated statement of operations allocated in proportion to prior period cash flow projections at the cohort level. The updated cash flows used in the calculation are discounted using the discount rate used in the last premium deficiency test update prior to December 31, 2020 (the “original discount rate”) and presented as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The revised NPR is used to measure benefit expense based on the recognized premium revenue in the period. The difference between the updated future policy benefits and expenses reserve opening period and previous ending period due to updating the NPR is presented as a remeasurement gain or loss (e.g., a cumulative catch-up adjustment) in policyholder benefits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

A remeasurement of the ending reporting period future policy benefits and expenses reserve is calculated using the current upper medium grade fixed-income corporate bond instrument yield as of the consolidated balance sheet ending period (the “current discount rate”). The current discount rate used is an externally published US corporate A index weighted average spot rate that is updated quarterly and effectively matches the duration of the expected cash flow streams of the long-term care reserves. The difference between the ending period future policy benefits and expenses reserve measured using the original discount rate and the future policy benefits and expenses reserve measured using the current discount rate is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The long-term care insurance contracts are fully reinsured and there is no impact to consolidated stockholders’ equity or net income as the reserves are fully reinsured.

Current discount rate	5.45	%	4.42	%

Concurrent with the transition period beginning January 1, 2021, the Company elected to account for the long-term care insurance contracts using reserve updates on a quarter lag whereby the September 30, 2020 cash flow and other assumptions are used for the pre-adoption December 31, 2020 future policy benefits and expenses reserve. Under the modified retrospective method, the long-term care insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts based on the contract’s issue year. Premium deficiency reserves are allocated proportional to the cohort’s reserve balance as of the transition date of December 31, 2020. At the cohort level, the NPR calculation is performed, and the unlocking of the NPR for cohorts in excess of 100% is recognized through opening retained earnings. A balance sheet remeasurement of the revised future policy benefits and expenses reserve is recorded using the current discount rate as of December 31, 2020 with the remeasurement amount recorded through AOCI.

Discount rate changes between the original and current discount rate as of December 31, 2020 were significant. The original discount rate at transition is a spot rate of 5.95% which is based on the most recent premium deficiency unlocking discount rate prior to transition using asset yields from investments allocated to the product at the time of the unlocking of the assumption. The current discount rate at transition was 1.69% reflecting prevailing interest rates as of December 31, 2020. The amended guidance has no impact to consolidated stockholders’ equity or net income on the long-term care insurance contracts as the reserves are fully reinsured.

10. Debt

Debt Issuance

2026 Senior Notes: In February 2023, the Company issued senior notes due February 2026 with an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million, which bear interest at a rate of 6.1% per year and were issued at a 0.035% discount to the public (the “2026 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, beginning on August 27, 2023. Prior to January 27, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium as described in the 2026 Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. On or after that date, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date.

In anticipation of the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge the risk associated with changes in interest rates up to the date the 2026 Senior Notes were issued. The Company determined that the derivative qualified for cash flow hedge accounting and recognized a deferred gain of $1.4 million upon settlement which was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 2026 Senior Notes on an effective yield basis.

Debt Redemption

In March 2023, the Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Senior Notes (and available cash on hand) to redeem $175.0 million of the $225.0 million then outstanding principal amount of its 4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, the Company recognized a net gain from the extinguishment of the debt of $0.1 million. The net gain resulted from the recognition of a previously deferred gain from the termination of a hedge of the interest rate risk associated with the redeemed notes, partially offset by the immediate recognition of the remaining deferred debt issuance costs relating to the redeemed notes.

In September 2023, the remaining $50.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Senior Notes was paid upon maturity.

12. 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 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. 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 52,715 and 66,144 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method. Average PSUs totaling 57,895 and 59,669 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method.

13. 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 Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $80.0 million at September 30, 2023 and $94.1 million at December 31, 2022 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 116% and 117% funded status at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 2023.

14. Restructuring and Related Impairment Charges

In December 2022, the Company finalized its plan to realize greater efficiencies by continuing to simplify its business portfolio and leverage its global footprint to reduce costs. This included realigning its organizational structure and talent to support its business strategy (the “transformational plan”). The Company also accelerated its ongoing real estate consolidation to support work-from-home arrangements given its increasingly hybrid workforce (the “return to work strategy”).

In September 2023, the Company amended and extended the December 2022 plan to include additional actions within the initiatives described above, including further consolidation of its real estate portfolio and additional changes to its organizational structure. The Company now expects to complete these actions by mid 2024.

The following table summarizes the costs by major type that are recorded in underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cumulative costs incurred through December 31, 2022, the estimated remaining costs to be incurred and the estimated total costs. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be cash. Restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities) are not allocated to a reportable segment.

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 $2.9 million and $2.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

Segment Information

As of September 30, 2023, we had two reportable operating 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, leased and financed solutions and related services (referred to as “Global Automotive”); and

•Global Housing: includes lender-placed and voluntary homeowners insurance and manufactured housing insurance, and lender-placed flood insurance (referred to as “Homeowners”); and renters insurance and related and other products (referred to as “Renters and Other”).

In addition, we report the Corporate and Other segment, which includes corporate employee-related expenses and activities of the holding company.

We define Adjusted EBITDA, our segment measure of profitability, as net income, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, non-core operations (which consists of certain businesses which we have fully exited or expect to fully exit, including the long-tail commercial liability businesses (sharing economy and small commercial businesses), as well as certain legacy long-duration insurance policies), restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), Assurant Health runoff operations, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, as well as other highly variable or unusual items.

Executive Summary

Summary of Financial Results

Consolidated net income increased $182.8 million to $190.1 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $7.3 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily due to higher earnings and lower reportable catastrophes within Global Housing. This was partially offset by a $10.5 million after-tax charge from additional restructuring costs related to extending our previously announced restructuring plan in fourth quarter 2022.

Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.4 million, or 7%, to $191.8 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $179.4 million for Third Quarter 2022, driven by growth in Connected Living, which was partially offset by lower Global Automotive results. Excluding a one-time $11.2 million client contract benefit from Third Quarter 2022, underlying Global Lifestyle results increased $23.6 million, or 14%, primarily driven by higher net investment income, stronger mobile device protection results and improved mobile trade-in margins in North America. This increase was partially offset by ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive and lower results in Asia Pacific within Connected Living.

Global Lifestyle net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $83.2 million, or 4%, to $2.11 billion for Third Quarter 2023 from $2.02 billion for Third Quarter 2022, driven mainly by prior period sales in Global Automotive. Connected Living increased modestly from growth in North American mobile subscribers, partially offset by an approximately $53.6 million impact from previously disclosed mobile program contract changes as well as runoff mobile programs.

Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA increased $203.6 million, or 529%, to $165.1 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $(38.5) million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily due to $97.6 million of lower pre-tax reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA increased $106.0 million, or 124%, primarily due to lower non-catastrophe loss experience, including a $14.6 million reserve reduction in the current quarter compared to $24.3 million of reserve strengthening in the prior year period, as well as higher net earned premiums and expense leverage within Homeowners. Higher net investment income also contributed to the increase.

Global Housing net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $103.4 million, or 23%, to $555.2 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $451.8 million for Third Quarter 2022, largely driven by Homeowners from increases in lender-placed policies in-force as well as higher average insured values and premium rates primarily to address increased claims severity. The increase was also driven by the absence of catastrophe reinstatement premiums compared to $34.2 million in Third Quarter 2022.

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA was $(26.2) million for Third Quarter 2023 compared to $(24.9) million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, which was partially offset by higher net investment income.

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 realize greater operational efficiencies and manage our expenses. Our results also depend on our ability to profitably grow our businesses, including our Connected Living and Global Automotive businesses, and the performance of our Homeowners business. Factors affecting these items, including conditions in the financial markets, the global economy, political conditions and the markets in which we operate, fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, including the current period of inflationary pressures which have impacted claims costs primarily in the Global Housing segment and the Global Automotive business, 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 2022 Annual Report, and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Factors Affecting Results” in our 2022 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 and Global Automotive businesses, which will be affected by our ability to provide a superior digital-first customer experience, including from our investments in technology and digital initiatives, and capitalize on the smart home opportunity. Our mobile business is subject to volatility in mobile device trade-in volumes and margins based on the actual and anticipated timing of the release of new devices, carrier promotional programs and sale prices for used devices, as well as to changes in consumer preferences. Our Homeowners revenues will be impacted by changes in the housing market. In addition, across many of our businesses, we must respond to competitive pressures, including the threat of disruption and competition for talent, which has increased due to labor shortages and wage inflation. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business, Strategic and Operational Risks—Significant competitive pressures, changes in customer preferences and disruption could adversely affect our results of operations”, “—Our mobile business is subject to the risk of declines in the value and availability of mobile

devices in our inventory, and to export compliance and other risks” 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 2022 Annual Report.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net income increased $182.8 million to $190.1 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $7.3 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily due to $76.7 million of lower after-tax reportable catastrophes, lower non-catastrophe loss experience in Global Housing, higher lender-placed net earned premiums and expense leverage in Global Housing, higher net investment income and higher mobile results in Global Lifestyle. The increase was partially offset by ongoing elevated Global Automotive claims costs in Global Lifestyle and $10.5 million of additional after-tax restructuring costs related to our previously announced restructuring plan in fourth quarter 2022.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net income increased $251.5 million, or 121%, to $460.0 million for Nine Months 2023 from $208.5 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily driven by higher lender-placed net earned premiums and lower non-catastrophe loss experience in our Homeowners business within Global Housing, a $85.9 million decrease in after-tax net unrealized losses from changes in the fair value of equity securities and $47.2 million of lower after-tax reportable catastrophes. The increase was partially offset by lower earnings from Global Lifestyle, mainly due to ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive, and $14.4 million of additional after-tax restructuring costs related to our previously announced restructuring plan in fourth quarter 2022.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.4 million, or 7%, to $191.8 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $179.4 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily driven by higher net investment income across Global Lifestyle, and stronger mobile device protection results from carrier and cable operator clients and improved trade-in margins in North America related to higher sale prices for used devices, as well as contributions from financial services and other, within Connected Living. This was partially offset by ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive, including higher labor and parts costs due to inflation and unfavorable loss experience in select ancillary products, the absence of a one-time $11.2 million client contract benefit from Third Quarter 2022 and lower results in Asia Pacific within Connected Living.

Total revenues increased $110.7 million, or 5%, to $2.19 billion for Third Quarter 2023 from $2.08 billion for Third Quarter 2022. Net earned premiums increased $68.6 million, or 4%, primarily driven by continued organic growth from prior period sales in our U.S. Global Automotive business across all distribution channels. Net earned premiums from Connected Living increased modestly, mainly from growth in North American mobile subscribers, as well as organic growth in financial services and other products, partially offset by the impact of a previously disclosed mobile program contract change that resulted in lower retention of premiums net of reinsurance, as well as the run-off of certain global mobile programs. Net investment income increased $27.5 million, or 47%, primarily due to higher yields on fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments. Fees and other income increased $14.6 million, or 6%, primarily due to higher average selling prices on North American mobile trade-in programs and the recent launch of several new trade-in programs in Asia Pacific, partially offset by a decline from a mobile program contract change related to our in-store mobile service and repair business.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $98.3 million, or 5%, to $2.00 billion for Third Quarter 2023 from $1.90 billion for Third Quarter 2022. Policyholder benefits increased $69.3 million, or 20%, primarily due to ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive, as described above, partially offset by a mobile program contract change that resulted in lower retention of losses net of reinsurance. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $29.0 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher cost of sales in North American mobile trade-in programs due to mix of business and from the recent launch of several new trade-in programs in Asia Pacific, the absence of a one-time $11.2 million client contract benefit

from Third Quarter 2022 and higher employee and information technology-related expenses to support growth. The increase was partially offset by a mobile program contract change related to our in-store mobile service and repair business.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $39.4 million, or 6%, to $587.7 million for Nine Months 2023 from $627.1 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily due to ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive, as described above, the absence of certain one-time benefits that were recorded in Nine Months 2022, including a $18.5 million gain from the sales of real estate joint venture partnerships and a $11.2 million client contract benefit, and lower Connected Living results in Asia Pacific, including the impact of foreign exchange. The decline was partially offset by higher net investment income across Global Lifestyle and stronger mobile device protection results in North America within Connected Living.

Total revenues increased $293.1 million, or 5%, to $6.50 billion for Nine Months 2023 from $6.21 billion for Nine Months 2022. Net earned premiums increased $274.2 million, or 5%, primarily driven by continued organic growth from prior period sales in our U.S. Global Automotive business across all distribution channels and growth in extended service contracts and domestic mobile subscribers. This increase was partially offset by the run-off of certain global mobile programs, a mobile program contract change that resulted in lower retention of premiums net of reinsurance and the impact of foreign exchange. Net investment income increased $61.9 million, or 34%, primarily due to higher yields on fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments, partially offset by the absence of a gain from the sales of real estate joint venture partnerships in Nine Months 2022. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fees and other income of $43.0 million, or 5%, mainly due to a mobile program contract change related to our in-store mobile service and repair business, partially offset by higher average selling prices on mobile trade-in programs.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $332.5 million, or 6%, to $5.91 billion for Nine Months 2023 from $5.58 billion for Nine Months 2022. Policyholder benefits increased $197.5 million, or 20%, primarily due to ongoing elevated claims costs in Global Automotive, as described above, partially offset by a mobile program contract change that resulted in lower retention of losses net of reinsurance. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $135.0 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher commission expenses from growth across Global Lifestyle, higher employee and information technology-related expenses to support growth and a one-time $11.2 million client contract benefit from Nine Months 2022, partially offset by a mobile program contract change related to our in-store mobile service and repair business, as well as the impact of foreign exchange.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA increased $203.6 million, or 529%, to $165.1 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $(38.5) million for Third Quarter 2022, mainly due to a $97.6 million decrease in reportable catastrophes, lower non-catastrophe loss experience, including a $14.6 million reserve reduction in Third Quarter 2023 compared to $24.3 million of reserve strengthening in the Third Quarter 2022, growth in Homeowners from higher lender-placed premium rates and average insured values, as well as higher policies in force and expense leverage, and higher net investment income across both lines of business, partially offset by exits from certain international markets.

Total revenues increased $115.8 million, or 25%, to $584.8 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $469.0 million for Third Quarter 2022. Net earned premiums increased $102.2 million, or 24%, primarily driven by our Homeowners business from higher lender-placed average insured values and premium rates primarily to address increased claims severity, as well as higher policies in force and the absence of $34.2 million of catastrophe reinstatement premiums from Third Quarter 2022, partially offset by exits from certain international markets. Net investment income increased $12.4 million, or 72%, primarily due to higher yields on fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments. Fees and other income increased $1.2 million, or 4%, primarily due to growth in lender-placed loss drafts product within Homeowners, partially offset by a decline in Renters and Other from lower installment fees.

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $87.8 million, or 17%, to $419.7 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $507.5 million for Third Quarter 2022. Policyholder benefits decreased $82.0 million, or 27%, due to lower reportable catastrophe losses and a decrease in non-catastrophe prior period reserve development, partially offset by higher current period lender-placed non-catastrophe losses from business growth and higher severity. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.8 million, or 3%, primarily due to exits from certain international markets.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA increased $261.2 million, or 206%, to $388.1 million for Nine Months 2023 from $126.9 million for Nine Months 2022, mainly due to growth in Homeowners from higher lender-placed average insured values and premium rates, as well as higher policies in force, a $61.2 million decrease in reportable catastrophes, lower non-catastrophe loss experience,

including a $40.4 million reserve reduction in Nine Months 2023 compared to $11.1 million of reserve strengthening in Nine Months 2022, and higher net investment income.

Total revenues increased $243.6 million, or 17%, to $1.67 billion for Nine Months 2023 from $1.43 billion for Nine Months 2022. Net earned premiums increased $226.6 million, or 18%, primarily driven by Homeowners from higher lender-placed average insured values and premium rates primarily to address increased claims severity, as well as higher policies in force, and the absence of $34.0 million of catastrophe reinstatement premiums from Nine Months 2022 compared to a favorable adjustment of $4.9 million in Nine Months 2023, partially offset by exits from certain international markets. Net investment income increased $22.0 million, or 41%, primarily due to higher yields on fixed maturity securities, cash and short-term investments, partially offset by the absence of gains from the sales of real estate joint venture partnerships in Nine Months 2022. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fees and other income of $5.0 million, or 5%, mainly driven by a decline in Renters and Other from lower installment fees.

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $17.6 million, or 1%, to $1.29 billion for Nine Months 2023 from $1.30 billion for Nine Months 2022. Underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $26.8 million, or 4%, primarily due to exits from certain international markets, higher reimbursements related to the National Flood Insurance Program for processing flood claims for Hurricane Ian and a discretionary benefit from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The decrease in underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by an increase of $9.2 million, or 1%, in policyholder benefits, primarily due to higher current period non-catastrophe loss experience from business growth and higher severity. This increase in policyholder benefits was partially offset by a decrease in non-catastrophe prior period development and lower reportable catastrophe losses.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA was $(26.2) million for Third Quarter 2023 compared to $(24.9) million for Third Quarter 2022. The change in results was primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, partially offset by higher net investment income.

Total revenues increased $1.7 million, or 30%, to $7.4 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $5.7 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily driven by an increase in net investment income of $1.7 million, or 30%, mostly due to higher real-estate related income and higher cash yields.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $3.0 million, or 10%, to $33.6 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $30.6 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Adjusted EBITDA was $(79.1) million for Nine Months 2023 compared to $(72.0) million for Nine Months 2022. The change in results was primarily due to lower net investment income, mostly due to lower invested assets from the use of the Global Preneed sale proceeds in Nine Months 2022 for share repurchases, and higher employee-related expenses.

Total revenues decreased $5.6 million, or 26%, to $15.8 million for Nine Months 2023 from $21.4 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in net investment income of $5.3 million, or 25%, mostly due to lower invested assets from the use of the Global Preneed sale proceeds in Nine Months 2022 for share repurchases, partially offset by higher cash yields.

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $1.5 million, or 2%, to $94.9 million for Nine Months 2023 from $93.4 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses, partially offset by the reduction of expenses from a subsidiary that was sold in second quarter 2022.

Investments

We had total investments of $7.92 billion and $7.52 billion as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net unrealized losses on our fixed maturity securities portfolio increased by $94.9 million during Nine Months 2023, from $637.1 million as of December 31, 2022 to a net unrealized loss of $732.0 million as of September 30, 2023, 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

Net investment income	$	125.5	$	83.5	$	343.6	$	261.8

Net investment income increased $42.0 million, or 50%, to $125.5 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $83.5 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily driven by higher yields on fixed maturity securities, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents.

Net realized losses on investments and fair value changes to equity securities decreased $8.3 million, or 30%, to $19.1 million for Third Quarter 2023 from $27.4 million for Third Quarter 2022, primarily driven by lower sales of fixed maturity securities for Third Quarter 2023.

Net investment income increased $81.8 million, or 31%, to $343.6 million for Nine Months 2023 from $261.8 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily driven by higher yields on fixed maturity securities, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in income from other investments due to lower real estate joint venture sales.

Net realized losses on investments and fair value changes to equity securities decreased $116.5 million, or 70%, to $49.7 million for Nine Months 2023 from $166.2 million for Nine Months 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized losses from changes in fair value of equity securities and lower sales of fixed maturity securities, partially offset by a decrease in realized gains on sales of equity securities.

As of September 30, 2023, we owned $15.5 million of securities guaranteed by financial guarantee insurance companies. Included in this amount was $13.1 million of municipal securities, whose credit rating was A+ with the guarantee, but would have had a rating AA- without the guarantee.

For more information on our investments, see Notes 6 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Catastrophe Reinsurance Program

In June 2023, we finalized our 2023 property catastrophe reinsurance program. As of September 30, 2023, 2023 reinsurance premiums for the total program are estimated to be $193.4 million pre-tax compared to approximately $189.0 million pre-tax for 2022, predominantly reflecting increased lender-placed exposure as a result of higher average insured values compared to 2022. 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 $1.28 billion of coverage in excess of a $125.0 million retention for a first event, which drops to $100.0 million for a second and third event. All layers of the program allow for one automatic reinstatement. When combined with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, the U.S. program is covered for gross Florida losses of up to approximately $1.58 billion.

The 2023 catastrophe reinsurance program also includes Caribbean protection of up to $55.0 million, in excess of a $5.0 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.

During Third Quarter 2023, we submitted an agreement to sell our Miami, Florida office (the “Agreement”) to a potential acquiror, which is subject to review, approval, execution and other conditions. If the transaction is consummated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we expect to record a gain in 2024 above the current carrying value of $46.0 million as of September 30, 2023. We do not anticipate that the gain will impact our capital deployment priorities. The entry into a definitive agreement and the consummation of the transaction are subject to significant uncertainty. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

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 2022 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, 2023, 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 $344.7 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. 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 2022 Annual Report.

Holding Company

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $490.8 million in holding company liquidity, which was $265.8 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 losses 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 $565.8 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 stockholder dividends, stock repurchases, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

Dividends or returns of capital paid by our subsidiaries, net of infusions of liquid assets and excluding amounts used for or as a result of acquisitions or received from dispositions, were $493.1 million and $549.5 million for Nine Months 2023 and Twelve Months 2022, respectively. 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 repurchase our common stock and to fund investments and acquisitions. 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 2023, we made common stock repurchases and paid common stock dividends of $183.8 million. We paid dividends of $0.70 per common share on September 18, 2023 to stockholders of record as of August 28, 2023. Any determination to pay future dividends 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 2023, we repurchased 517,438 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $70.0 million, exclusive of commissions. In May 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $900.0 million of our outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2023, $204.5 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.

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’ 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 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 2022 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 public 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 what is 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Principal Amount		Carrying Value		Principal Amount		Carrying Value
4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023	$	—	$	—	$	225.0	$	224.7
6.10% Senior Notes due February 2026	175.0		173.4		—		—
4.90% Senior Notes due March 2028	300.0		298.1		300.0		297.8
3.70% Senior Notes due February 2030	350.0		347.8		350.0		347.6

7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due March 2048	400.0		396.9		400.0		396.5
5.25% Subordinated Notes due January 2061	250.0		244.1		250.0		244.1
Total Debt			$	2,080.0			$	2,129.9

2026 Senior Notes: In February 2023, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million, which bear interest at a rate of 6.10% per year, mature in February 2026 and were issued at a 0.035% discount to the public (the “2026 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, beginning on August 27, 2023. Prior to January 27, 2026, we may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium as described in the 2026 Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. On or after that date, we may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date.

In anticipation of the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, we entered into a derivative transaction to hedge the risk associated with changes in interest rates up to the date the 2026 Senior Notes were issued. We determined that the derivative qualified for cash flow hedge accounting and recognized a deferred gain of $1.4 million upon settlement which was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 2026 Senior Notes on an effective yield basis.

In March 2023, we used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Senior Notes (and available cash on hand) to redeem $175.0 million of the $225.0 million then outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million. The net gain resulted from the recognition of a previously deferred gain from the termination of a hedge of the interest rate risk associated with the redeemed notes, partially offset by the immediate recognition of the remaining deferred debt issuance costs relating to the redeemed notes.

In September 2023, the remaining $50.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Senior Notes was paid upon maturity.

In the next five years, we have two debt maturities in February 2026 and March 2028 when the 2026 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes 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 under the Credit Facility during Nine Months 2023 and no loans were outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

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. This program is currently backed up by the Credit Facility, of which $500.0 million was available as of September 30, 2023.

We did not use the commercial paper program during Nine Months 2023 and there were no amounts relating to the commercial paper program outstanding as of September 30, 2023. Our subsidiaries do not maintain commercial paper or other borrowing facilities.

Cash Flows

We monitor cash flows at the consolidated and entity levels. Cash flow forecasts at the consolidated and entity 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):	2023		2022
Operating activities	$	775.5	$	319.8


Investing activities	(640.8)		(134.9)


Financing activities	(241.9)		(767.2)


Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(4.2)		(42.7)


Net change in cash	$	(111.4)	$	(625.0)

We typically generate operating cash inflows from premiums collected from our insurance products, fees received for services and income received from our investment portfolio, while outflows generally consist of policy acquisition costs, benefits paid and operating expenses. These net cash flows are then invested to meet 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 was $775.5 million for Nine Months 2023 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $319.8 million for Nine Months 2022. The change in net operating cash flows was largely attributable to our mobile business operations, primarily from higher collections of premiums and fees due to timing, and a decrease in payments to vendors for the acquisition of mobile devices used to meet insurance claims or generate profits through sales to third parties. The increase was partially offset by higher net paid claims for Nine Months 2023 and a receipt of a tax refund that was in excess of tax payments during Nine Months 2022.

Net cash used in investing activities was $640.8 million for Nine Months 2023 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $134.9 million for Nine Months 2022. The change in net investing cash flows was primarily driven by the investment of net cash provided by operating activities and the reinvestment of proceeds from the sales of maturities of investments in higher yielding fixed maturities during the period. Also contributing to the change was an increase in purchases of short-term investments due to the timing of working capital needs.

Net cash used in financing activities was $241.9 million for Nine Months 2023 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $767.2 million for Nine Months 2022. The change in net financing cash flows was primarily due to lower share repurchases during Nine Months 2023.

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


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Interest paid on debt	$	99.0	$	105.3
Common stock dividends	113.8		112.7

Total	$	212.8	$	218.0

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 $2.9 million and $2.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
