GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

1.	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Global Indemnity Limited (“Global Indemnity” or “the Company”) was incorporated on February 9, 2016 and is domiciled in the Cayman Islands. On November 7, 2016, Global Indemnity replaced Global Indemnity plc as the ultimate parent company as a result of a redomestication transaction. The Company’s A ordinary shares are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol GBLI.

The Company manages its business through four business segments: Commercial Specialty, Specialty Property, Farm, Ranch, & Stable, and Reinsurance Operations. The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment offers specialty property and casualty insurance products in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. The Company manages Commercial Specialty by differentiating them into four product classifications: 1) Penn-America, which markets property and general liability products to small commercial businesses through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which markets insurance products for targeted insured segments, including specialty products, such as property, general liability, and professional lines through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which markets property, casualty, and professional lines products, which are developed by the Company’s underwriting department by individuals with expertise in those lines of business, through wholesale brokers and also markets through program administrators having specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is marketed through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. These product classifications comprise the Company’s Commercial Specialty business segment and are not considered individual business segments because each product has similar economic characteristics, distribution, and coverage. The Company’s Specialty Property segment offers specialty personal lines property and casualty insurance products through general and specialty agents with specific binding authority on an admitted basis. The Company’s Farm, Ranch, & Stable segment provides specialized property and casualty coverage including Commercial Farm Auto and Excess/Umbrella Coverage for the agriculture industry as well as specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry on an admitted basis. These insurance products are sold through wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority. Collectively, the Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiaries are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Commercial Specialty, Specialty Property, and Farm, Ranch, & Stable segments comprise the Company’s U.S. Insurance Operations (“Insurance Operations”). The Company’s Reinsurance Operations consist solely of the operations of its Bermuda-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company, Ltd. (“Global Indemnity Reinsurance”). Global Indemnity Reinsurance is a treaty reinsurer of specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies. The Company’s Reinsurance Operations segment provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies.

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.	Investments

The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. For financial assets held at amortized cost basis, the new guidance requires a forward-looking methodology for in-scope financial assets that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information for credit loss estimates, including historical experience, current economic conditions and supportable forecasts

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

that affect the collectability of the financial asset. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are still measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired security and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses continue to be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

The Company elects the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default of payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable was $6.6 million and $7.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed maturities securities were as follows as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

(1)	Fixed maturities in a gross unrealized loss position are comprised of non-credit losses on investment grade securities where management does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be forced to sell the security before recovery.

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and uncertainty around the extent of its economic impact caused severe declines in financial markets which are reflected in the fair values of our investments.

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:

(1)

the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;

(2)

the issuer is in financial distress;

(3)

the investment is secured;

(4)

a significant credit rating action occurred;

(5)

scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed;

(6)

changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry;

(7)

the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity;

(8)

the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and

(9)

changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. That new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any:

U.S. treasury and agency obligations – As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasury and agency obligations were $0.025 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities. Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on U.S. treasury and agency obligations during the period.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions – As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were $0.218 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, elements that may influence the performance of the municipal bond market are considered in evaluating these securities such as investor expectations, supply and demand patterns, and current versus historical yield and spread relationships. The analysis relies on the output of fixed income credit analysts, as well as dedicated municipal bond analysts who perform extensive in-house fundamental analysis on each issuer, regardless of their rating by the major agencies. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions during the period.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) – As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were $3.179 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, mortgage-backed securities are modeled to project principal losses under downside, base, and upside scenarios for the economy and home prices. The primary assumption that drives the security and loan level modeling is the Home Price Index (“HPI”) projection. These forecasts incorporate not just national macro-economic trends, but also regional impacts to arrive at the most granular and accurate projections. These assumptions are incorporated into the model as a basis to generate delinquency probabilities, default curves, loss severity curves, and voluntary prepayment curves at the loan level within each deal. The model utilizes HPI-adjusted current LTV, payment history, loan terms, loan modification history, and borrower characteristics as inputs to generate expected cash flows and principal loss for each bond under various scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on mortgage-backed securities during the period.

Asset backed securities (“ABS”) - As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were $9.215 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset backed portfolio is 32.3. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before an asset backed security will incur its first dollar of principal losses. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, every ABS transaction is analyzed on a stand-alone basis. This analysis involves a thorough review of the collateral, prepayment, and structural risk in each transaction. Additionally, the analysis includes an in-depth credit analysis of the originator and servicer of the collateral. The analysis projects an expected loss for a deal given a set of assumptions specific to the asset type. These assumptions are used to calculate at what level of losses the deal will incur its first dollar of principal loss. The major assumptions used to calculate this ratio are loss severities, recovery lags, and no advances on principal and interest. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on asset backed securities during the period.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) - As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were $3.739 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s CMBS portfolio is 29.8. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before a mortgage-backed security will incur its first dollar of principal loss. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, a loan level analysis is utilized where every underlying CMBS loan is re-underwritten based on a set of assumptions reflecting expectations for the future path of the economy. Each loan is analyzed over time using a series of tests to determine if a credit event will occur during the life of the loan. Inherent in this process are several economic scenarios and their corresponding rent/vacancy and capital market states. The five primary credit events that frame the analysis include loan

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

modifications, term default, balloon default, extension, and ability to pay off at balloon. The resulting output is the expected loss adjusted cash flows for each bond under the base case and distressed scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on commercial mortgage-backed securities during the period.

Corporate bonds - As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were $7.965 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, analysis for this asset class includes maintaining detailed financial models that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on corporate bonds during the period.

Foreign bonds – As of March 31, 2020, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were $2.394 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, detailed financial models are maintained that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on foreign bonds during the period.

Variable Interest Entities

A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights. Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results.

The Company has variable interests in three VIE’s for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as their ownership interest exceeds 3% of their respective investments.

The carrying value of one of the Company’s VIE’s, which invests in distressed securities and assets, was $12.5 million and $13.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $26.7 million and $27.7 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying value of a second VIE that also invests in distressed securities and assets was $24.3 million and $24.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $41.3 million and $41.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying value of a third VIE that invests in REIT qualifying assets was $10.5 million and $9.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments, was $11.0 million and $10.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s investment in VIEs is included in other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in carrying value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

The limited partnerships typically report results one to three months following the end of the reporting period. As a result, the impact of the recent disruption in markets due to COVID-19 is not reflected in the 1^st quarter results. Certain information has come to our attention that these limited partnership investments will have a decline in value which will be reflected in the 2^nd quarter.

3.	Derivative Instruments

Derivatives are used by the Company to reduce risks from changes in interest rates and limit exposure to severe equity market changes. The Company has interest rate swaps with terms to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. In 2019, the Company began to utilize exchange-traded futures contracts, which give the holder the right and obligation to participate in market movements at a future date, to allow the Company to react faster to market conditions. The Company posts collateral and settles variation margin in cash on a daily basis equal to the amount of the futures contracts’ change in value scaled by a multiplier.

The Company accounts for the interest rate swaps and futures as non-hedge instruments and recognizes the fair value of the interest rate swaps in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with the changes in fair value recognized as net realized investment gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is ultimately responsible for the valuation of the interest rate swaps. To aid in determining the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps, the Company relies on the forward interest rate curve and information obtained from a third party financial institution.

The following table summarizes information on the location and the gross amount of the derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

These amounts are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company posted initial margin of $10.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in securities for trading futures contracts and has a mark-to-market receivable of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in connection with the futures contracts. Variation margin is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

4.	Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.

The Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

In certain cases, 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 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 considers factors specific to the asset.

The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The securities classified as Level 1 in the above table consist of U.S. Treasuries and equity securities actively traded on an exchange.

The securities classified as Level 2 in the above table consist primarily of fixed maturity securities and derivative instruments. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, security prices are derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments, consisting of interest rate swaps, is obtained from a third party financial institution that utilizes observable inputs such as the forward interest rate curve.

For the Company’s material debt arrangements, the current fair value of the Company’s debt at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

(1)	As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value and fair value of the 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2045 is net of unamortized debt issuance cost of $3.1 million.

(2)	As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value and fair value of the 7.875% Subordinated Notes due 2047 are net of unamortized debt issuance cost of $3.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of the margin borrowing facility approximates its carrying value due to the facility being due on demand. The subordinated notes due 2045 and 2047 are publicly traded instruments and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

(1)

This limited partnership invests in distressed securities and assets through senior and subordinated, secured and unsecured debt and equity, in both public and private large-cap and middle-market companies. The Company does not have the ability to sell or transfer its limited partnership interest without consent from the general partner. The Company does not have the contractual option to redeem its limited partnership interest but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets.

(2)

This limited partnership invests in stressed and distressed securities and structured products. The Company does not have the ability to sell or transfer its limited partnership interest without consent from the general partner. The Company does not have the contractual option to redeem its limited partnership interest but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets.

(3)

This limited partnership invests in REIT qualifying assets such as mortgage loans, investor property loans, and commercial mortgage loans. The Company does not have the ability to sell or transfer its limited partnership interest without consent from the general partner. The Company does not have the contractual option to redeem its limited partnership interest but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets.

Limited Partnerships with ownership interest exceeding 3%

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in limited partnerships where its ownership interest exceeds 3%. The equity method of accounting for an investment in a limited partnership requires that its cost basis be updated to account for the income or loss earned on the investment. The investment income associated with these limited partnerships, which is booked on a one quarter lag, is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the amounts of $0.5 million and ($3.7) million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The limited partnerships typically report results one to three months following the end of the reporting period. As a result, the impact of the recent disruption in markets due to COVID-19 is not reflected in the 1^st quarter results. Certain information has come to our attention that these limited partnership investments will have a decline in value which will be reflected in the 2^nd quarter.

Pricing

The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:

•

Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges.

•

Corporate and agency bonds are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities.

•

Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread “OAS” matrix and prepayment model used for commercial mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds.

•

For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

•

U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers.

•

For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors.

The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to:

•

Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch. This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change.

•

Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy.

•

On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not adjusted quotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors.

5.Allowance for Credit Losses - Premiums Receivable and Reinsurance Receivables

The Company implemented new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Please see footnote 16 for further discussion on this new accounting guidance.

For premiums receivables, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, direct placement with collection agencies, solvency of insured or agent, terminated agents, and other relevant factors.

For reinsurance receivables, the allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of key aspects of amounts outstanding, including but not limited to, length of collection periods, disputes, applicable coverage defenses, insolvent reinsurers, financial strength of solvent reinsurers based on A.M Best Ratings and other relevant factors.

The following table is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to the Company's premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables for the quarter ended March 31, 2020:

When analyzing loss reserves and prior year development, the Company considers many factors, including the frequency and severity of claims, loss trends, case reserve settlements that may have resulted in significant development, and any other additional or pertinent factors that may impact reserve estimates.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $0.6 million. This reduction consisted of increases and decreases in prior accident year loss reserves in all segments with the primary impact being a $0.6 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations.

The increases and decreases in prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Specialty primarily consisted of the following:

•

General Liability: An increase of less than $0.3 million primarily in the 2016 through 2018 accident years reflects higher than anticipated claims severity. These increases were mostly offset by decreases mainly in the 2012 through 2015 and 2019 accident years due to lower than expected claims severity.

•

Workers Compensation: A $0.2 million reduction primarily in loss adjustment expense reserves in the 2012 accident year and accident years prior to 2005.

•

Property: A decrease of less than $0.1 million is mainly due to decreases in the 2018 and 2019 accident years primarily recognizing lower than expected claims severity, offset by an increase in the 2016 accident year due to higher than anticipated claims severity.

The increases and decreases in prior accident year loss reserves related to Specialty Property primarily consisted of the following:

•

General Liability: A $0.4 million decrease primarily recognizes lower than expected claims severity in the 2015, 2016 and 2019 accident years.

•

Property: A $0.4 million increase mainly reflects higher than anticipated claims severity in the 2019 accident year, partially offset by a decrease in the 2018 accident year due to lower than expected claims severity.

Farm, Ranch, & Stable had immaterial increases and decreases in prior accident year loss reserves.

The $0.6 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations was from the property lines. Decreases were primarily in the 2014 through 2017 accident years based on a review of the experience reported from cedants, partially offset by an increase in the 2018 accident year mainly due to development on Typhoons Jebi and Trami and an increase in attritional losses in the 2019 accident year.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $7.9 million, which consisted of a $6.7 million decrease related to Commercial Specialty, a $0.9 million increase related to Specialty Property, a $2.1 million decrease related to Farm, Ranch, & Stable, and a $0.1 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations.

The $6.7 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Specialty primarily consisted of the following:

•

General Liability: A $5.0 million reduction in aggregate with $0.5 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $4.5 million of favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories. The decreases in the construction defect reserve category recognize lower than anticipated claims frequency and severity that led to reductions in the 2004 through 2009 and 2011 through 2018 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2010 accident year. For the other general liability reserve categories, lower than expected claims severity was the primary driver of the favorable development mainly in accident years 2005 through 2014 and the 2016 and 2017 accident years, partially offset by an increase in the 2015 accident year.

•

Commercial Auto Liability: A $0.8 million decrease in total primarily in the 2000 through 2002, 2010, 2012 and 2013 accident years. The decreases recognize lower than anticipated claims severity.

•

Property: A $1.0 million decrease in aggregate recognizes lower than anticipated claims severity primarily in the 2012 through 2016 and 2018 accident years partially offset by increases in the 2010 and 2017 accident years.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

The $0.9 million increase of prior accident year loss reserves related to Specialty Property primarily consisted of the following:

•

Property: A $0.8 million increase recognizes higher than expected claims severity in the 2018 accident year partially offset by decreases in the 2015 through 2017 accident years.

The $2.1 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Farm, Ranch, & Stable primarily consisted of the following:

•

Property: A $0.4 million decrease in total reflects lower than expected case incurred emergence in the 2018 accident year partially offset by an increase in the 2017 accident year.

•

Liability: A $1.7 million decrease in total, recognizes lower than anticipated claims severity in the 2016 and 2017 accident years partially offset by increases in the 2013 through 2015 accident years.

The $0.1 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations was from the property lines. Decreases were primarily in the 2013 and 2015 through 2017 accident years, mostly offset by an increase in the 2018 accident year. The accident year change was based on a review of the experience reported from cedants.

8. Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which increased transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance using the optional transition method. Under this method, the Company applied the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of less than $0.1 million to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. For leases with a term of greater than 12 months, lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and lease liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU assets are calculated using the initial lease liability amount, plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements may contain both lease and non-lease components which are accounted separately. The Company elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from non-lease components for its equipment leases.

The Company leases office space and equipment under various operating lease arrangements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 5 months to 10 years. Some building leases have options to extend, terminate, or retract the leased area. The Company did not factor in term extension, terminations, or space retractions into the lease terms used to calculate the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities since it was uncertain as to whether these options would be executed.

The Company is also party to certain service contracts. These agreements will continue to be accounted for as service contracts and expensed in the period the services have been provided. As contracts are signed, renewed, or renegotiated, they will be evaluated using the criteria set forth in the new lease guidance to determine if these contracts contain a lease and will be accounted for properly depending upon the terms and language in the contract.

Lease expenses for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

11.Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate.

The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

13.Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Quarters Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)	2020			2019
Net income (loss)	$	(44,578	)	$	19,600
Basic earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		14,249,551			14,153,918
Net income (loss) per share	$	(3.13	)	$	1.38
Diluted earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted (1)		14,249,551			14,315,091
Net income (loss) per share	$	(3.13	)	$	1.37

(1)	For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, weighted average shares outstanding – basic was used to calculate diluted earnings per share due to a net loss for the period.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

A reconciliation of weighted average shares for basic earnings per share to weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share is as follows:

	Quarters Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Weighted average shares for basic earnings per share		14,249,551		14,153,918
Non-vested restricted stock		—		14,723
Options		—		146,450
Weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share		14,249,551		14,315,091

If the Company had not incurred a loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 14,417,506 weighted average shares would have been used to compute the diluted loss per share calculation. In addition to the basic shares, weighted average shares for the diluted calculation would have included 16,298 shares of non-vested restricted stock, 29,261 shares of non-vested restricted stock units, and 122,396 share equivalents for options.

The weighted average shares outstanding used to determine dilutive earnings per share does not include 500,000 options for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 which were deemed to be anti-dilutive.

16.	New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

In March, 2020, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that affected a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments in this update are meant to make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarification. This guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August, 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which removed, modified, and added certain disclosures related to Topic 820, Fair Value. The affected disclosures are related to transfers between fair value levels, level 3 assets, and investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value. This guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

In January, 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance that simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e. Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test). Under the new amendments, an entity may still first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test shall be used to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of a goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for public business entities’ annual or interim goodwill impairment testing in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June, 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance addressing the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes but are not limited to premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the asset using an allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance are charged to earnings. The measurement of expected credit losses should consider relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured similar to the old guidance; however, the new guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the impaired securities and allows for the reversal of credit losses in the current period net income. In addition, the Company made certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivables which are described in Note 2. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 using a modified-retrospective approach. The adoption of this new accounting guidance and the impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is described primarily within Note 2 and 5.

Please see Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted.

17.Subsequent Events

COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global health emergency and was elevated to “pandemic” status on March 11, 2020. Following these events, numerous jurisdictions issued shelter in place orders requesting or requiring residents to remain at home. The Company can experience increased risk of loss any time unforeseen infectious diseases impact large portions of certain populations. Specifically, the Company’s business could experience losses resulting from COVID-19 related impacts as a result of complete or partial closure of the Company’s or its policyholders’ facilities, labor shortages, disruptions in public and private infrastructure, increased cybersecurity risk as well as unforeseen perils. The Company may experience reductions in premium volume, delays in collection of premiums, and increases in COVID-19 related claims. As a result of a pandemic and other geopolitical factors, the Company could also experience losses in its investment portfolio as a result of volatile markets. Management is taking actions it considers prudent to minimize the impact on the Company’s operations. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, magnitude and geographic reach of COVID-19, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on its business and operations.

Management Agreement

On May 6, 2020, the Company and Fox Paine & Company, LLC entered into the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement effective as of September 5, 2019 (the “Agreement”) to: (i) eliminate the Company’s obligation to reimburse Fox Paine & Company, LLC for its travel, lodging, meals, and other items relating to attendance at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors, which have averaged approximately $550,000 per year (since execution of the Agreement in 2013) and (ii) increase Fox Paine & Company, LLC’s base Annual Service Fee by $550,000 per year.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Global Indemnity included elsewhere in this report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to the Company’s plans and strategy, constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this Item 2 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. For more information regarding the Company’s business and operations, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent Developments

COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 presents significant risks to the Company which the Company is not able to fully evaluate at the current time. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the value of the Company’s portfolio declined as a result of changes in fair value of the Company’s equity securities and derivative instruments due to the recent disruption in global financial markets due to COVID-19. The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will affect the Company’s operations in the second quarter and may continue to do so indefinitely, thereafter. The Company may experience reductions in premium volume, delays in the collection of premiums, and increases in COVID-19 related claims. The disruption in the global financial markets may continue to negatively impact the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio and result in additional net realized investment losses as well as a decline in the liquidity of the investment portfolio. All of these factors may have far reaching impacts on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitation impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, distribution, marketing, customers and agents, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic ends.

Dividend

On February 9, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a dividend payment of $0.25 per ordinary share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 24, 2020. Dividends paid were $3.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Overview

The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment sells its property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 180 professional general agencies that have limited quoting and binding authority, as well as a number of wholesale insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. Commercial Specialty operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. The Company manages its Commercial Specialty segment via product classifications. These product classifications are: 1) Penn-America, which includes property and general liability products for small commercial businesses sold through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which includes property, general liability, and professional lines products sold through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which includes property, casualty, and professional lines products sold through wholesale brokers and program administrators with specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is sold through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents.

The Company’s Specialty Property segment, via American Reliable, offers specialty personal lines property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 240 agents, primarily comprised of wholesale general agents, with specific binding authority in the admitted marketplace.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

through a group of approximately 210 agents, primarily comprised of wholesalers and retail agents, with a selected number having specific binding authority.

The Company’s Reinsurance Operations, consisting solely of the operations of Global Indemnity Reinsurance, currently provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and on a direct basis. Global Indemnity Reinsurance is a Bermuda based treaty reinsurer for specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies. Global Indemnity Reinsurance conducts business in Bermuda and is focused on using its capital capacity to write niche and specialty-focused treaties and business which meet the Company’s risk tolerance and return thresholds.

The Company derives its revenues primarily from premiums paid on insurance policies that it writes and from income generated by its investment portfolio, net of fees paid for investment management services. The amount of insurance premiums that the Company receives is a function of the amount and type of policies it writes, as well as prevailing market prices.

The Company’s expenses include losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, corporate and other operating expenses, interest, investment expenses, and income taxes. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated by management and reflect the Company’s best estimate of ultimate losses and costs arising during the reporting period and revisions of prior period estimates. The Company records its best estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses considering both internal and external actuarial analyses of the estimated losses the Company expects to incur on the insurance policies it writes. The ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses will depend on the actual costs to resolve claims. Acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and premium taxes that are typically a percentage of the premiums on the insurance policies the Company writes, net of ceding commissions earned from reinsurers. Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and general operating expenses related to underwriting activities. Corporate and other operating expenses are comprised primarily of outs ide legal fees, other professional and accounting fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, and salaries and benefits for company personnel whose services relate to the support of corporate activities. Interest expense is primarily comprised of amounts due on outstanding debt.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The most critical accounting policies involve significant estimates and include those used in determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, recoverability of reinsurance receivables, investments, fair value measurements, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred acquisition costs, and taxation. For a detailed discussion on each of these policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes to any of these policies or underlying methodologies during the current year except for the following.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. In conjunction with implementing this new guidance, the Company modified its impairment process as well as made certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivables. Please see Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a discussion on the Company’s impairment process and accounting policy elections related to accrued interest receivable. Please see Note 5 for a discussion on the Company’s policies related to the evaluation process when estimating expected credit losses for premiums receivable and reinsurance receivables.

(1)	Gross written premiums represent the amount received or to be received for insurance policies written without reduction for reinsurance costs, ceded premiums, or other deductions.

(2)	Net written premiums equal gross written premiums less ceded written premiums.

(3)	Includes business ceded to the Company’s Reinsurance Operations under a quota share agreement. This quota share agreement was cancelled effective January 1, 2018.

(4)	External business only, excluding business assumed from affiliates.

Gross written premiums increased by 9.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to same period in 2019. The increase is mainly due to organic growth from existing agents, increased pricing, and several new programs within Commercial Specialty, rate increases and new agent appointments within Farm, Ranch, & Stable, and growth of the new casualty treaty entered into by Reinsurance Operations in 2019. This growth in premiums was partially offset by a continued reduction of catastrophe exposed business and a reduction in business not providing an adequate return on capital within Specialty Property. In addition, the growth in premium was also partially offset by the Reinsurance Operations’ non-renewal of its property catastrophe treaties.

Net Retention

The ratio of net written premiums to gross written premiums is referred to as the Company’s net premium retention. The Company’s net premium retention is summarized by segments as follows:

	Quarters Ended March 31,						Point
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			Change
Commercial Specialty		89.7	%		85.9	%		3.8
Specialty Property		85.1	%		83.7	%		1.4
Farm, Ranch, & Stable		86.3	%		84.2	%		2.1
Reinsurance		100.0	%		100.0	%		—
Total		89.3	%		86.8	%		2.5

The net premium retention for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 increased by 2.5 points as compared to the same period in 2019. This increase in retention is primarily driven by the restructuring of the Company’s catastrophe reinsurance treaties as well as a change in the mix of business.

Net Earned Premiums

Net earned premiums within the Commercial Specialty segment increased by 21.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in net earned premiums was primarily due to a growth in premiums written as a result of organic growth from existing agents, pricing increases, and several new programs. Property net earned premiums were $30.5 million and $28.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $37.2 million and $27.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net earned premiums within the Specialty Property segment decreased by 1.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to a continued reduction of catastrophe exposed business and a reduction in business not providing an adequate return on capital. Property net earned premiums were $31.7 million and $31.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $2.6 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net earned premiums within the Farm, Ranch, & Stable segment increased by 9.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in net earned premiums was primarily due to a growth in premiums written as a result of rate increases and new agent appointments. Property net earned premiums were $13.4 million and $12.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $5.3 million and $4.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net earned premiums within the Reinsurance Operations segment increased by 62.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the new casualty treaty entered into during 2019. Property net earned premiums were $10.0 million and $12.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $13.9 million and $2.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Reserves

Management’s best estimate at March 31, 2020 was recorded as the loss reserve. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $639.5 million and $560.7 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2020. A breakout of the Company’s gross and net reserves, as of March 31, 2020, is as follows:

	Gross Reserves
(Dollars in thousands)	Case		IBNR (1)		Total
Commercial Specialty	$	111,119	$	286,279	$	397,398
Specialty Property		14,939		34,605		49,544

Total	$	166,082	$	394,633	$	560,715

(1)	Losses incurred but not reported, including the expected future emergence of case reserves.

(2)	Does not include reinsurance receivable on paid losses.

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $78.2 million for claims occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2020:

		Severity Change
(Dollars in thousands)		-10%			-5%			0%			5%			10%
Frequency Change	-5%	$	(11,339	)	$	(7,625	)	$	(3,910	)	$	(196	)	$	3,519

	5%		(4,301	)		(196	)		3,910			8,016			12,121

The Company’s net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $560.7 million as of March 31, 2020 relate to multiple accident years. Therefore, the impact of changes in frequency and severity for more than one accident year could be higher or lower than the amounts reflected above.

The expense ratio for the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment improved by 2.6 points from 41.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 to 38.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to an increase in the net earned premiums as discussed above.

COVID-19

COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Commercial Specialty’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

Casualty loss ratio		59.2	%		52.3	%		6.9
Total accident year loss ratio		51.4	%		59.6	%		(8.2	)

The current accident year non-catastrophe property loss ratio improved by 17.0 points during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 due to a lower claims frequency and severity for the first accident quarter compared to last year.

The current accident year catastrophe loss ratio increased by 3.0 points during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 reflecting a slightly higher claims frequency and much higher claims severity for the first accident quarter compared to last year.

The current accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 6.9 points during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to a higher claims severity for the first accident quarter compared to last year.

The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 includes a net decrease of zero related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 includes a decrease of $2.1 million, or 12.1 percentage points, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.

Expense Ratios

The expense ratio for the Company’s Farm, Ranch, & Stable Segment improved 1.6 points from 42.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 to 40.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the expense ratio is primarily due to an increase in the net earned premiums as discussed above.

COVID-19

There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Farm, Ranch, & Stable’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

The table above includes a reconciliation of the current accident year loss ratio, which is a non-GAAP ratio, to its calendar year loss ratio, which is its most directly comparable GAAP ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends in the Company's Reinsurance Operations may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. This non-GAAP ratio should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Premiums

See “Result of Operations” above for a discussion on premiums.

Other Income

The Company recognized a loss of $0.3 million and a gain of less than $0.01 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Other income is comprised of foreign exchange gains and losses.

Loss Ratio

The current accident year loss ratio increased by 2.1 points during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The current accident year loss ratio decreased for both property and casualty lines compared to the same

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

period last year but the total loss ratio increased reflecting the mix of business shift to more casualty premium which has a higher expected loss ratio than property.

The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 includes a decrease of $0.6 million, or 2.5 percentage points, related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 includes a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.7 percentage points, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.

Expense Ratio

The expense ratio for the Company’s Reinsurance Operations increased by 1.8 points from 34.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 to 35.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to an increase in commission expense.

COVID-19

COVID-19 could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Reinsurance Operations’ business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Unallocated Corporate Items

The Company’s fixed income portfolio, excluding cash, continues to maintain high quality with an AA- average rating and a duration of 4.0 years.

Net Investment Income

	Quarters Ended March 31,						%
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			Change
Gross investment income (1)	$	11,118		$	7,802			42.5	%
Investment expenses		(989	)		(583	)		69.6	%
Net investment income	$	10,129		$	7,219			40.3	%

(1)	Excludes realized gains and losses

Gross investment income increased by 42.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase for the quarter ended was primarily due to increased returns from alternative investments which are booked on a one quarter lag due to the limited partnerships typically not reporting results until one to three months following the end of the reporting period.

Investment expenses increased by 69.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased investment management expenses resulting from hiring new investment managers during 2019.

At March 31, 2020, the Company held agency mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $236.9 million. Excluding the agency mortgage-backed securities, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 4.5 years as of March 31, 2020, compared with 3.1 years as of March 31, 2019. Including cash and short-term investments, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio, excluding agency mortgage-backed securities, was 4.2 years as of March 31, 2020, compared with 3.0 years as of March 31, 2019. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. The Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 2.9% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 3.2% as of March 31, 2019. The embedded book yield on the $65.3 million of municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio, which includes $64.9 million of taxable municipal bonds, was 3.1% at March 31, 2020, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.4% on the Company’s municipal bond portfolio of $75.1 million at March 31, 2019.

See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for an analysis of total investment return on a pre-tax basis for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Corporate and Other Operating Expenses

Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate and other operating expenses were $4.2 million and $3.2 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily due to an increase in legal and compensation expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased 3.1% during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to a reduction in the Fed Funds effective interest rate in March, 2020.

Income Tax Expense / Benefit

Income tax benefit was $12.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared with an income tax expense of $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily due to investment losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

See Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods.

Net Income

The factors described above resulted in a net loss of $44.6 million and net income of $19.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Funds

Global Indemnity is a holding company. Its principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its U.S. insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company; and its Reinsurance Operations: Global Indemnity Reinsurance.

Global Indemnity’s short term and long term liquidity needs include but are not limited to the payment of corporate expenses, debt service payments, dividend payments to shareholders, and share repurchases. In order to meet their short term and long term needs, the Company’s principal sources of cash includes dividends from subsidiaries, other permitted disbursements

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

from its direct and indirect subsidiaries, reimbursement for equity awards granted to employees and intercompany borrowings. The principal sources of funds at these direct and indirect subsidiaries include underwriting operations, investment income, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments, capital contributions, intercompany borrowings, and dividends from subsidiaries. Funds are used principally by these operating subsidiaries to pay claims and operating expenses, to make debt payments, fund margin requirements on interest rate swap agreements, to purchase investments, and to make dividend payments. In addition, the Company periodically reviews opportunities related to business acquisitions and as a result, liquidity may be needed in the future.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company also had future funding commitments of $31.7 million related to investments. The timing of commitments related to investments is uncertain.

The future liquidity of Global Indemnity is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Global Indemnity’s U.S. insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company within the Insurance Operations that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation - Statutory Accounting Principles” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes. See Note 18 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on dividend limitations related to the U.S. Insurance Companies. The U.S. Insurance Companies did not declare or pay any dividends during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

For 2020, the Company believes that Global Indemnity Reinsurance, including distributions it could receive from its subsidiaries, should have sufficient liquidity and solvency to pay dividends. Global Indemnity Reinsurance is prohibited, without the approval of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”), from reducing by 15% or more its total statutory capital or 25% or more of its total statutory capital and surplus as set out in its previous year’s statutory financial statements, and any application for such approval must include such information as the BMA may require. See “Regulation—Bermuda Insurance Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Board of Directors of Global Indemnity Reinsurance approved a dividend up to $50 million may be declared and paid to the Company on or before September 30, 2020.

Cash Flows

Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income. Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments. As a result of the dividend policy established in 2017, funds may also be used in the future to pay dividends to shareholders of Global Indemnity Limited.

The Company’s reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by (used for) operations is generally influenced by the following:

•

the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commissions, in advance of losses paid;

•

the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and

•

the timing of the Company’s loss payments.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was $20.8 million and ($23.2) million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows of approximately $44.0 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items:

	Quarters Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			Change
Net premiums collected	$	147,119		$	123,872		$	23,247

See the consolidated statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for details concerning the Company’s investing and financing activities.

Liquidity

COVID-19

The Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted by the cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premiums. There is risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage which would negatively impact liquidity. In addition, the liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by the disruption experienced in the global financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the value of the investment portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. In particular, the Company experienced significant declines in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities and derivative instruments. Management is taking actions it considers prudent to minimize the impact on the Company’s liquidity. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, magnitude and geographic reach of COVID-19, the Company is regularly evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on its liquidity.

Dividends

Other than the items discussed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Please see Item 7 of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

Capital Resources

COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and uncertainty around the extent of its economic impact caused severe declines in global financial markets which are reflected in the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio. In particular, the Company experienced significant declines in the fair value of the Company’s equity securities and derivative instruments.

Other than the item discussed in the preceding paragraph, there have been no material changes to the Company’s capital resources during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Please see Item 7 of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s capital resources.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For the quarter ending March 31, 2020, globed equities declined 20.2% as the COVID-19 health crisis continued to escalate globally, prompting governments to announce aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus measures. US equities fell 12.4% during a month characterized by volatility, which saw both the fastest sell-off on record and the largest weekly percentage gain since 2009.

The U.S. fixed income market was very volatile during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to periods of panicked selling and zero liquidity. Markets have begun to improve as policy responses gain traction and confidence builds that authorities will do all that is necessary to stave off the severest of predictions. The shuttering of activity around the globe is weakening economies, negatively impacting nearly all markets and prompting unprecedented action from fiscal and monetary authorities. As the timeline for a return to normal is pushed further out, the economic impact will be more severe.

The Company’s investment grade fixed income portfolio continues to maintain high quality with an AA- average rating and a duration of 4.0 years. Portfolio purchases were focused within US Treasuries and MBS securities. These purchases were funded primarily through cash inflows, sales of US Treasuries and investment grade credit, as well as maturities and paydowns. During the first quarter, the portfolio’s allocation to MBS and US Treasuries increased, while our exposure to investment grade credit decreased. There have been no other material changes to the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2019. Please see Item 7A of Part II in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s market risk.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of Part I in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020. The risk factors identified therein have not materially changed except as follows:

The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak, could result in declines in business and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is exposed to various risks arising out of natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, landslides, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunamis, hailstorms, explosions, climate events or weather patterns and public health crises, illness, epidemics or pandemic health events, as well as man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism, military actions, cyber-terrorism, explosions and biological, chemical or radiological events. The continued threat of terrorism and ongoing military actions may cause significant volatility in global financial markets, and a natural or man-made disaster could trigger an economic downturn in the areas directly or indirectly affected by the disaster. These consequences could, among other things, result in a decline in business and increased claims from those areas. They could also result in reduced underwriting capacity making it more difficult for our agents to place business. Disasters also could disrupt public and private infrastructure, including communications and financial services, which could disrupt the Company’s ordinary business operations.

A natural or man-made disaster also could disrupt the operations of the Company’s counterparties or result in increased prices for the products and services they provide to the Company. Finally, a natural or man-made disaster could increase the incidence or severity of E&O claims against the Company.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, including the United States, and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business will depend on future developments in the United States and other countries, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including:

• the ultimate geographic spread and severity of COVID-19;

• the duration of the outbreak;

• business closures, travel restrictions, social distancing and other actions taken to contain the threat of COVID-19; and

• the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the virus.

As the COVID-19 outbreak and any associated protective or preventative measures continue to spread in the United States and around the world, we may experience disruptions to our business, including but not limited to:

GLOBAL INDEMNITY LIMITED

•

clients choosing to limit purchases of insurance due to declining business conditions, which would inhibit the Company’s ability to generate earned premium;

•

travel restrictions and quarantines leading to a lack of in-person meetings, which would hinder the Company’s ability to establish relationships or originate new business;

•

cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premium could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity;

•

risk that legislation could be passed which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

•

alternative working arrangements, including colleagues working remotely, which could negatively impact the Company’s business should such arrangements remain for an extended period of time; and

•

significant volatility in financial markets affecting the market value and liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio;

These and other disruptions related to COVID-19 could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
