Note 1 -- Nature of Operations

HCI Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“HCI” or the “Company”), is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business through two Florida domiciled insurance companies, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”) and TypTap Insurance Company (“TypTap”). Both HCPCI and TypTap are authorized to underwrite various homeowners’ property and casualty insurance products and allied lines business in the state of Florida and in several other states. The operations of both insurance subsidiaries are supported by HCI Group, Inc. and certain HCI subsidiaries. The Company emphasizes the use of internally developed technologies to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to generate savings and efficiency for the operations of the insurance subsidiaries.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company reorganized its operations to focus on specific business segments, resulting in the creation of TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. (“TTIG”) with a separate workforce, board of directors and financial reporting structure. In February 2021, TTIG received a capital investment from a third party representing a minority interest as described in Note 18 -- “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest.” Companies under TTIG include TypTap, TypTap Management Company, Exzeo USA, Inc., and Cypress Tech Development Company, Inc., the parent company of an India company, Exzeo Software Private Limited. TTIG and its subsidiaries are considered a new reporting segment known as TypTap Group. The Company’s reportable segments now include HCPCI insurance operations, TypTap Group, real estate operations, and corporate and other. Real estate operations are conducted by Greenleaf Capital, LLC, the Company’s real estate subsidiary, which is primarily engaged in the businesses of owning and leasing real estate and operating marina facilities.

Assumed Business

Effective December 31, 2020, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, an insurance subsidiary of United Insurance Holdings Corporation (“United”), ceded a portion of its personal lines insurance business in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island to HCPCI. Under the reinsurance agreement, HCPCI provides 69.5% quota share reinsurance on all of United’s in-force, new and renewal policies in those states from December 31, 2020 through May 31, 2021. In exchange, HCPCI paid United an allowance of $4,400 towards already purchased catastrophe reinsurance and a provisional ceding commission of 25% of premium. That percentage could increase up to 31.5% depending on the direct loss ratio results from the reinsured business.

On January 18, 2021, the Company entered into a renewal rights agreement with United in connection with the assumed business. Under the agreement, the Company acquired all rights to renew and/or replace United’s homeowners insurance policies at the end of their respective policy periods in the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The policy replacement date is June 1, 2021 or such other date as mutually agreed by both parties. The agreement also contains a non-compete clause that does not permit United to engage in marketing, selling, writing, renewing, or servicing any homeowners insurance contracts in these states until July 1, 2024. In return, United received 100,000 shares of HCI’s common stock and will receive a 6% commission on any replacement premium in excess of $80,000. The total commission will not exceed $3,100.

The Company and United agreed to postpone the policy replacement date under the renewal rights agreement to a later date and the Company, through HCPCI and TypTap, entered into a new quota share reinsurance agreement in June 2021 to provide 100% reinsurance on all of United’s in-force, new and renewal policies in those states from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022. Under the new agreement, each insurance subsidiary assumes 50% of the business and pays United a ceding commission of 24% of premium.

Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for HCI Group, Inc. and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies specific to reinsurance with retrospective provisions, reinsurance recoverable, deferred income taxes, limited partnership investments, warrants, redeemable noncontrolling interest, intangible assets acquired from United, and stock-based compensation expense involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 removes certain bifurcation models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Therefore, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in-capital. The amendments also remove three settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and amend the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity’s own equity. In addition, the amendments expand disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplify areas of the guidance for diluted earnings-per-share calculations that are impacted by the amendments.

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

The Company elected to early adopt this update on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this update increased long-term debt by $3,999 and simultaneously decreased beginning retained income and deferred income tax liabilities by $3,018 and $981, respectively. The if-converted method will be the only permissible method for computing the dilutive effect of a convertible debt instrument. Interest expense no longer includes amortization of debt discount.

Funds Held in Trust for Assumed Business

The Company accounts for trust account deposits with regards to the quota share reinsurance agreements between the Company's insurance subsidiaries and United as funds held in trust for assumed business. This balance consists of funds deposited to establish the trust accounts and assumed premiums written net of provisional commission, any catastrophe cost allowance applicable, and paid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents an economic interest in TTIG and is presented in the temporary equity (mezzanine) section of the consolidated balance sheet. The interest contains rights in dividends, voting, conversion, participation, liquidation preference and redemption. The redemption feature is not solely within the control of TTIG (See Note 18 -- “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest”).

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially recorded at fair value and is decreased by related issuance costs. The fair value is estimated using a residual fair value approach. The effect of increasing dividend rates is accreted to the redeemable noncontrolling interest with a corresponding debit to retained income. The effective interest method is used for accretion over the period of the increasing dividend rates. The carrying value of the interest is also subsequently adjusted for accrued dividends and dividend payments. The Company has an option to pay the dividends in cash or make a payment in kind. The dividends are accrued monthly assuming that they will be settled in cash.

When the redemption is probable, the Company elects to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as it occurs and adjust the carrying value of the interest to the maximum redemption value which is the higher of the redemption price or fair market value at the reporting date. Such changes in the redemption value are treated as dividends when calculating income available to common stockholders.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company has noncontrolling interests attributable to TTIG. A noncontrolling interest arises when the Company has less than 100% of the voting rights and economic interests in a subsidiary. The noncontrolling interest is periodically adjusted for the expensing of TTIG’s restricted stock awards granted to its employees, the interest’s share of TTIG’s net income or loss to common stockholders and change in other comprehensive income or loss.

Revenue from Claims Handling Services

The Company provides a claims handling service to a third-party insurance company. The service includes investigation, evaluation, adjustment and settlement of a claim. These highly interrelated activities are combined to fulfill the Company’s obligation to provide the claims handling service under a contract. As such, they are considered a single performance obligation for revenue recognition purposes. Fees are established on a per-claim basis by type of claim. For each type of claim, the per-claim fee revenue is recognized over an average claim processing period.

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

The Company may incur additional costs for outsourced services in connection with the investigation, coverage analysis, adjustment, negotiation, settlement, defense or general handling of a claim. These costs are reimbursable from the customer. The Company has control over how an outsourced service is performed on its behalf. Thus, these pass-through costs are recognized as revenue in the gross amount to which the Company expects to be entitled and when the outsourced service is completed and paid or accrued by the Company.

For a certain type of claim and in addition to the per-claim service fee, the Company is entitled to additional revenue which is determined based on a fixed percent of the paid indemnification of the loss per claim. The revenue is recognized when the indemnification is paid by the Company.

Revenue related to claims handling services is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenues from claims handling services were $1,709 and $1,916, respectively. At September 30, 2021, other assets included $768 of amounts receivable attributable to this service.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of U.S. GAAP which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the fair value of stock-based awards is generally recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which a recipient is required to provide service in exchange for an award. Forfeitures of the Company’s stock-based awards are accounted for as they occur. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Restricted stock grants with market conditions are expensed over the derived service period. Expensing market-based awards may be expedited if the conditions are met sooner than anticipated. The Company’s outstanding stock-based awards include stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards with service and market conditions. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in general and administrative personnel expenses. The Company receives a windfall tax benefit for certain stock option exercises and for restricted stock awards if these awards vest at a higher value than the value used to recognize compensation expense. In the event the restricted stock awards vest at a lower value than the value used to recognize compensation expense, the Company experiences a tax shortfall. The Company recognizes tax windfalls and shortfalls in the consolidated statements of income.

Reclassification

In response to the new reporting segment described in Note 1 -- “Nature of Operations,” the prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. TypTap and TypTap Management Company were removed from the segment previously referred to as Insurance Operations to form the new TypTap Group segment. The information technology companies which had previously been presented in the Corporate and Other segment were also added to the TypTap Group segment.

Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01. In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 (“ASU 2021-01”) Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This update refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board’s monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. ASU 2021-01 permits entities to apply certain optional expedients to modifications of interest rate indexes used for margining, discounting or contract price alignment of certain derivatives in connection with reference rate reform activities under way in global financial markets. It also extends optional expedients to account for a

derivative contract modified as a continuation of the existing contract and to continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change to modifications made as part of the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately and does not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-04. In May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-04 (“ASU 2021-04”) Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance clarifies whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. ASU 2021-04 is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2022 and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 -- Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.

Allowance for Credit Losses of Available-for-Sale Fixed-Maturity Securities

The Company regularly reviews its individual investment securities for credit impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether a credit loss exists for each individual security, including-



the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;



the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost;



general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors and other qualitative factors;



nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and



the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

The table below summarizes the activity in the allowance for credit losses of available-for-sale securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Note 7 -- Fair Value Measurements

The Company records and discloses certain financial assets at their estimated fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:


Level 1	-	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2	-	Other inputs that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets that are not observable throughout the full term of the asset.
Level 3	-	Inputs that are unobservable.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

Valuation Methodology

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money-market funds and certificates of deposit maturing within 90 days. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity and high liquidity of these funds.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash held by state authorities and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Fixed-Maturity and Equity Securities

Estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed-maturity and equity securities are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are generally measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar securities. In those instances where observable inputs are not available, fair values are measured using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value estimates derived from unobservable inputs are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

The estimated fair values for securities that do not trade on a daily basis are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from an independent pricing service and information provided by brokers, which are level 2 inputs. Management reviews the assumptions and methods utilized by the pricing service and then compares the relevant data and pricing to broker-provided data. The Company gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through ongoing monitoring of the reported fair values.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit facility is a variable-rate loan. The interest rate is periodically adjusted based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread. As a result, its carrying value approximates fair value.

Long-Term Debt

The following table summarizes components of the Company’s long-term debt and methods used in estimating their fair values:


	Maturity Date	Valuation Methodology
4.25% Convertible senior notes	2037	Quoted price
3.90% Promissory note	2032	Discounted cash flow method/Level 3 inputs
3.75% Callable promissory note	2036	Discounted cash flow method/Level 3 inputs

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

(a)

An anchor tenant is a tenant that attracted more customers than other tenants.

(b)

The entire amount was fully amortized in June 2021.

(c)

Will be amortized over four years after the policy replacement date.

The Company recorded intangible assets of $7,829 representing the renewal rights and non-compete agreement described in Note 1 -- “Nature of Operations” in exchange for 100,000 shares of HCI’s common stock and contingent consideration which is a 6% commission on any replacement premium in excess of $80,000. The contingent consideration was estimated at $2,419 which was included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Due to the postponement of the renewal and/or replacement of United’s policies as described in Note 1 -- "Nature of Operations,” amortization of the policy renewal rights intangible asset has yet to begin.

The renewal rights and non-compete intangible assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business as substantially all of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar assets. Therefore, the Company accounted for the purchase of the renewal rights and non-compete intangible assets as an asset acquisition. Total consideration paid consisted of $5,410 worth of HCI’s common stock plus a contingent liability of $2,419.

Convertible Senior Notes

4.25% Convertible Notes. The Company’s recent cash dividends on common stock have exceeded $0.35 per share, resulting in adjustments to the conversion rate of the 4.25% Convertible Notes. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the conversion rate of the Company’s 4.25% Convertible Notes was 16.4668 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which was the equivalent of approximately $60.73 per share.

As the Company’s common shares traded above 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of both the second and third quarters of 2021, the 4.25% Convertible Notes are convertible by all holders beginning July 1 through December 31, 2021 in accordance with the terms specified in the indenture.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into various agreements with certain holders of the 4.25% Convertible Notes whereby the holders converted $82,480 in aggregate principal of 4.25% Convertible Notes for aggregate consideration of 1,356,835 shares of HCI’s common stock and $1,414 of cash consideration. These transactions were accounted for as induced conversions based on the limited period of time the offers were open and the inclusion of cash consideration being one of the conversion options specified in the indenture. As such, the Company recognized debt conversion expense of $1,273 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 consisting of the difference between the fair value of all consideration transferred and the fair value of common stock issued.

An additional $311 in aggregate principal of 4.25% Convertible Notes were converted by election from holders of 4.25% Convertible Notes for aggregate consideration of 5,119 shares of HCI’s common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the remaining amortization period of the debt issuance costs for the 4.25% Convertible Notes was expected to be 5 months.

Note 12 -- Reinsurance

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts and one quota share reinsurance agreement. Ceded premiums under most catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts are subject to revision resulting from subsequent adjustments in total insured value. Under the terms of the quota share reinsurance agreement, the Company is entitled to a 30% ceding commission on ceded premiums written. The reinsurance premiums under one flood catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contract are generally determined on a quarterly basis based on the premiums associated with the applicable flood total insured value in force on the last day of the preceding quarter.

The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st of each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.

The impact of the reinsurance contracts on premiums written and earned is as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized ceded losses of $1,830 and $2,424, respectively, as a reduction in losses and loss adjustment expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized ceded losses of $1,871 and $2,220, respectively, as a reduction in losses and loss adjustment expenses. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 54 and 38 reinsurers, respectively, participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. Total net amounts recoverable and receivable from reinsurers at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $49,126 and $85,146, respectively. Approximately 66.4% of the gross reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2021 was receivable from three reinsurers, including the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state trust fund. Based on all available information considered in the rating-based method, the Company recognized decreases in credit loss expense of $13 and $41 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company derecognized credit loss expenses of $14 and $363, respectively. Allowances for credit losses related to the reinsurance recoverable balance were $44 and $85 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company has reinsurance contracts that include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $1,364 and $9,619, respectively, related to these adjustments in the consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $4,680 and $10,440, respectively.

Amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions are reflected in other assets. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, other assets included $1,819 and $10,920, respectively. In June 2021, the Company received $18,720 of premium refund under the retrospective reinsurance contract that ended May 31, 2021. Management believes the credit risk associated with the collectability of accrued benefits is minimal as the amount receivable is concentrated with two reinsurers and the Company monitors the creditworthiness of these reinsurers based on available information about each reinsurer’s financial condition.

Effective January 2021, the Company began providing quota share reinsurance on all in-force, new and renewal policies issued by United. The policies were issued in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, assumed premiums written related to United were $30,840 and $88,311, respectively. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a net balance of $6,636 due from United, consisting of premiums receivable of $14,951 offset by ceding commission payable of $3,588 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $4,727.

Note 13 -- Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claim development and losses incurred but not reported.

The Company primarily writes insurance in the states which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.

Activity in the liability for losses and LAE is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Net balance, beginning of period*	$	154,901		$	123,129		$	141,065		$	98,174

The establishment of loss and LAE reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss and LAE reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such estimates are adjusted. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized losses related to prior periods of $8,830 and $17,268, respectively, primarily to increase the reserve for the 2020 loss year resulting from increased litigation with regards to Hurricane Sally and Tropical Storm Eta. Losses and LAE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 included estimated losses, net of reinsurance, of approximately $19,830 and $43,330, respectively, related to policies assumed from United, approximately $9,767 and $12,367, respectively, of which pertained to TypTap.

Note 14 -- Segment Information

The Company identifies its operating divisions or segments based on managerial emphasis, organizational structure and revenue source. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company reorganized its operations to focus on specific business segments, resulting in the creation of TTIG with a separate workforce, board of directors and financial reporting structure. Companies under TTIG include TypTap, TypTap Management Company, Exzeo USA, Inc., and Cypress Tech Development Company, Inc., the parent company of an India company, Exzeo Software Private Limited. TTIG and its subsidiaries are considered a new reporting segment known as TypTap Group. The Company now has four reportable segments: HCPCI insurance operations, TypTap Group, real estate operations, and corporate and other. Due to their economic characteristics, the Company’s property and casualty insurance division and reinsurance operations, excluding the insurance operations under TypTap Group, are grouped together into one reportable segment under HCPCI insurance operations. The TypTap Group segment includes its property and casualty insurance operations, information technology operations and its management company’s activities. The real estate operations segment includes companies engaged in operating commercial properties the Company owns for investment purposes or for use in its own operations. The corporate and other segment represents the activities of the holding companies and any other companies that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment. The determination of segments may change over time due to changes in operational emphasis, revenues, and results of operations. The Company’s chief executive officer, who serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, evaluates each division’s financial and operating performance based on revenue and operating income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 73.9% and 59.1%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 24.0% and 12.6%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 76.4% and 73.8%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 20.7% and 12.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 60.2% and 68.9%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 26.3% and 16.7%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Note 16 -- Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded approximately $1,636 of income tax benefit, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded approximately $6,146 of income taxes, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.5%. The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the non-deductibility of certain executive compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded approximately $2,888 and $9,143, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in effective tax rates of 33.2% and 26.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2021 as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to an increase in non-deductible compensation expense related to

restricted stock granted to certain executives. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain nondeductible and tax-exempt items.

Note 17 -- Earnings Per Share

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic earnings per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities affect the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of net income or loss. For a majority-owned subsidiary, its basic and diluted earnings per share are first computed separately. Then, the Company’s proportionate share in that majority-owned subsidiary’s earnings is added to the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share at a consolidated level.

A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below.

Note 18 -- Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On February 26, 2021, TTIG completed a capital investment transaction with a fund associated with Centerbridge Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Lead Investor”), a private investment management fund. Under the investment agreement, TTIG issued 9,000,000 voting shares of its Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 1,000,000 non-voting shares of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock (together “Series A Preferred Stock”), $0.001 par value, at a price of $10 per share for total proceeds of $100,000. The proceeds will be used for TypTap’s operations and continued expansion. The Company incurred $6,262 of related issuance costs. In connection with the transaction, the Lead Investor was granted by HCI warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of HCI’s common stock with an exercise price of $54.40 per share. The warrants valued at $9,217 or $12.29 per warrant were immediately exercisable and will expire on the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance.

Dividends

Dividends accrue and accumulate from the date of issuance. Cumulative dividends are payable semi-annually in cash or paid-in-kind at TTIG’s option. Cash dividend rates are $0.50 per share in Year 1, $0.60 per share in Year 2, $0.75 per share in Year 3, and $0.95 per share in Year 4 and thereafter. The rates for paid-in-kind dividends are $0.60 per share in Year 1 and $0.70 per share in Year 2. In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid dividends on an as-converted basis when and if TTIG declares common stock dividends.

Conversion Rights

The holders of TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock have the right to convert the stock at any time into shares of TTIG’s common stock with an initial conversion rate of 1 to 1. The conversion rate will be adjusted under certain conditions. Unless converted earlier, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of TTIG’s common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate upon (1) a qualified public offering of TTIG’s common stock with gross proceeds of not less than $250,000 with a price per share at least equal to 150% of the original purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (2) at the election of requisite holders of a majority of TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock, whichever comes first.

Redemption Rights

On or after the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holders at a price equal to the greater of (1) $10 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and (2) a fair market value per share determined by an independent valuation firm selected by TTIG’s board of directors. Management determined that the redemption was not probable at September 30, 2021.

Guaranty by HCI

All payment obligations to the holders of TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock are fully guaranteed by HCI as long as TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding. As the guarantor, HCI is subject to certain financial covenants.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to TTIG’s common stock with respect to distribution rights.

Anti-Dilutive Protection

The holders of TTIG’s Series A Preferred Stock receive protection in the form of a down-round feature which will be triggered in the event that TTIG issues additional common equivalent shares at an effective price per share less than $10 per share.

Restricted Stock Awards

From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to its executive officers, other employees and nonemployee directors in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance and market-based conditions. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards containing only service-based conditions is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For awards with market-based conditions, the fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome.

Note 23 -- Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2021, TTIG granted options to purchase an aggregate of 6,450,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $23 per share to its chief executive officer, Paresh Patel, and certain other executives. The options will have a 10-year term and were granted pursuant to TTIG's 2021 Omnibus Plan. The options will vest over a four-year period, so long as the optionees remain employed by TTIG. TTIG is currently in the process of determining the grant date fair value of the options.

On October 5, 2021, a significant portion of market-based restricted stock awards that were granted in February 2021 met the condition for vesting. As a result, the expensing of an unrecognized balance of $7,130 will be accelerated and the expense related to these awards will be recognized over the next twelve months.

During the months of October and November 2021, an additional $27,846 and $4,340, respectively, of aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Convertible Notes was converted for 458,533 and 71,464 shares, respectively, of HCI's common stock and aggregate cash consideration of $481. The Company recognized debt conversion expense of $481 for certain of the conversions.

In October 2021, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation approved a 2022 assessment for the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (“FIGA”) which is necessary to secure funds for the payment of covered claims of insolvent insurance companies. The 2022 FIGA assessment will be levied at 0.70% on collected premiums of all covered lines of business except auto insurance. The surcharge, which is collectible from a policyholder, will be assessed on new and renewal policies with effective dates beginning January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries, as member insurers, will be required to collect and remit the pass-through assessments to FIGA on a quarterly basis.

OVERVIEW – General

HCI Group, Inc. is a Florida-based InsurTech company with operations in property and casualty insurance, reinsurance, real estate and information technology. After the reorganization of our business in the first quarter of 2021, we now manage our operations in the following organizational segments, based on managerial emphasis and evaluation of financial and operating performances:

HCPCI Insurance Operations



Property and casualty insurance



Reinsurance and other auxiliary operations

TypTap Group



Property and casualty insurance



Information technology

Real Estate Operations

Other Operations



Holding company operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 73.9% and 59.1%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group represented 24.0% and 12.6%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany

elimination represented 76.4% and 73.8%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group represented 20.7% and 12.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 60.2% and 68.9%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 26.3% and 16.7%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments. See Note 14 -- “Segment Information” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

HCPCI Insurance Operations

Property and Casualty Insurance

HCPCI provides various forms of residential insurance products such as homeowners insurance, fire insurance, flood insurance and wind-only insurance. HCPCI is authorized to write residential property and casualty insurance in the states of Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas. Currently, Florida is HCPCI’s primary market.

Effective January 2021, HCPCI began providing 69.5% quota share reinsurance on all in-force, new and renewal policies issued by United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, a subsidiary of United Insurance Holdings Corporation (“United”) in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In exchange, HCPCI paid United an allowance of $4,400,000 towards previously purchased catastrophe reinsurance and a provisional ceding commission of 25% of premium. That percentage can increase up to 31.5% depending on the direct loss ratio results from the reinsured business.

We and United agreed to postpone the policy replacement date under the renewal rights agreement to a later date and we, through HCPCI and TypTap, entered into a new quota share reinsurance agreement in June 2021 to provide 100% reinsurance on all of United’s in-force, new and renewal policies in those states from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022. Under the new agreement, HCPCI assumes 50% of the business and pays United a ceding commission of 24% of premium. Annual premiums from the total assumed business approximate $120,000,000. HCPCI will receive 50% of the total premiums.

Reinsurance and other auxiliary operations

We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd. We selectively retain risk in Claddaugh, reducing the cost of third-party reinsurance. Claddaugh fully collateralizes its exposure to HCPCI and TypTap by depositing funds into a trust account. Claddaugh may mitigate a portion of its risk through retrocession contracts. Currently, Claddaugh does not provide reinsurance to non-affiliates. Other auxiliary operations also include claim adjusting and processing services.

TypTap Group

Property and Casualty Insurance

TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. ("TTIG"), our majority-owned subsidiary, currently has four subsidiaries: TypTap Insurance Company (“TypTap”), TypTap Management Company, Exzeo USA, Inc., and Cypress Tech Development Company which also owns Exzeo Software Private Limited, a subsidiary domiciled in India. TTIG is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business and is currently using in-house developed technology to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to generate savings and efficiency for its insurance operations.

TypTap, TTIG’s insurance subsidiary, has been the primary source of our organic growth in gross written premium since 2016. TypTap’s policies in force have increased from 6,721 in January 2018 to 48,897 at September 30, 2021. TypTap has been successful in using internally developed proprietary technology to underwrite, select and write policies efficiently in Florida. As of October 26, 2021, TypTap has been approved to offer homeowners coverage in 17 states outside of Florida. In addition to the expansion in TypTap business, we also expect future growth from the United policies assigned to TypTap through the renewal rights agreement acquired by HCI.

In connection with the aforementioned new quota share agreement with United, TypTap assumes 50% of the business. TypTap will receive approximately $60,000,000 of annual premiums and pays a ceding commission of 24% of premium.

Information Technology

Our information technology operations include a team of experienced software developers with extensive knowledge in developing web-based products and applications for mobile device. The operations, which are in Tampa, Florida and Noida, India, are focused on developing cloud-based, innovative products or services that support in-house operations as well as our third-party relationships with our agency partners and claim vendors. These products include SAMSTM, Harmony, AtlasViewer and ClaimColony®.

Real Estate Operations

Our real estate operations consist of properties we own and use for our own operations and multiple properties we own and operate for investment purposes. Properties used in operations consist of one Tampa office building and a secondary insurance operations site in Ocala, Florida. Our investment properties include retail shopping centers, one office building, two marinas, and undeveloped land near TTIG’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

Other Operations

Holding company operations

Activities of our holding company, HCI Group, Inc., plus other companies that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment comprise the operations of this segment.

Recent Events

On October 1, 2021, TTIG granted options to purchase an aggregate of 6,450,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $23 per share to its chief executive officer, Paresh Patel, and certain other executives. The options will have a 10-year term and were granted pursuant to TTIG's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The options will vest over a four-year period, so long as the optionees remain employed by TTIG. TTIG is currently in the process of determining the grant date fair value of the options.

On October 15, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share. The dividends are payable on December 17, 2021 to stockholders of record on November 19, 2021.

During the months of October and November 2021, an additional $27,846,000 and $4,340,000, respectively, of aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Convertible Notes was converted for 458,533 and 71,464 shares, respectively, of HCI's common stock and aggregate cash consideration of approximately $481,000. We recognized debt conversion expense of $481,000 for certain of the conversions.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 reflect a net loss of approximately $4,868,000 or $0.72 diluted loss per share, compared with a net income of approximately $15,390,000 or $1.70 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a one-time gain on involuntary conversion of $36,969,000 included in our 2020 results, a $10,921,000 increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses, a $9,130,000 increase in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, and a $1,530,000 increase in other operating expenses, offset by an increase in net premiums earned of $31,769,000, a $1,681,000 increase in other income, and a $1,192,000 decrease in interest expense.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $149,809,000 and $106,694,000, respectively. HCPCI gross premiums earned were $98,256,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $86,840,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase included $29,046,000 of gross premiums earned from the United insurance policies assumed. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $51,553,000 versus $19,854,000 for the same comparative period with the increase due to a greater number of policies in force from the organic growth in TypTap’s business and from the business assumed from United beginning June 1, 2021.

Premiums Ceded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $55,577,000 and $44,231,000, respectively, representing 37.1% and 41.5%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $11,346,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance costs for the 2021 contract year due to an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount as a result of premium growth and expansion. Reinsurance costs were offset by a reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under multi-year reinsurance agreements.

Our premiums ceded represent costs of reinsurance to cover losses from catastrophes that exceed the retention levels defined by our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts or to assume a proportional share of losses as defined in a quota share agreement. The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, premiums ceded included a decrease of $1,364,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a decrease of $4,680,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Net Premiums Written for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled approximately $118,689,000 and $72,220,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. The increase in 2021 resulted from an increase in gross premiums written from the United insurance policies assumed and the growth of TypTap business. We had approximately 156,000 policies in force at September 30, 2021 (excluding policies assumed from United) as compared with approximately 157,000 policies in force at September 30, 2020.

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $94,232,000 and $62,463,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2021			2020
Net Premiums Written	$	118,689		$	72,220
Increase in Unearned Premiums		(24,457	)		(9,757	)
Net Premiums Earned	$	94,232		$	62,463

Net Investment Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $2,520,000 and $1,832,000, respectively. The $688,000 increase was primarily attributable to a $782,000 increase in income from limited partnership and real estate investments and a $491,000 increase in income from our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture, offset by a $505,000 decrease in interest income from fixed-maturity security investments. See Net Investment Income (loss) under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $1,232,000 and $177,000, respectively. The $1,055,000 increase was primarily attributable to net gains from selling equity securities.

Net Unrealized Investment Losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $1,869,000 versus net unrealized investment gains of approximately $1,340,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the sales of equity securities with aggregate net gains during the quarter.

Expenses

Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $62,664,000 and $51,743,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was attributable to additional losses associated with the growth in TypTap’s business during 2021 and was offset by lower third quarter 2021 losses at HCPCI when compared with 2020. TypTap experienced an additional $5,150,000 of losses related to growth in its homeowners business, $6,535,000 of losses from policies assumed from United, and $2,887,000 in combined losses from hurricanes Henri and Ida. HCPCI third quarter 2021 losses were comparatively lower due to 2020 losses of $17,679,000 from Hurricane Sally, $4,850,000 of losses from policies acquired from Anchor Property & Casualty Insurance Company, offset by third quarter 2021 losses of $6,535,000 from policies assumed from United, and $2,305,000 resulting from re-estimation of losses from Hurricane Sally. Both companies recorded additional losses during the quarter totaling a combined $4,165,000 from re-assessing losses from Tropical Storm Eta, a fourth quarter 2020 event. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $23,340,000 and $14,210,000 on a consolidated basis, respectively, and primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs such as commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies, and premium taxes. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI insurance operations were $13,035,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $10,593,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was due to amortization of increased costs associated with the policies assumed from United. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $10,360,000 versus $4,067,000 for the same comparative period, with the increase attributable to amortization of increased commission costs related to the growth of TypTap’s policies in force over the past 12 months and the policies assumed from United.

Debt Conversion Expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1,273,000, representing costs associated with certain of the conversions of our 4.25% convertible senior notes.

General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $11,537,000 and $9,871,000, respectively. Our general and administrative personnel expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation expenses, and employee benefit costs. Factors such as merit increases, changes in headcount, and periodic restricted stock grants, among others, cause fluctuations in this expense. In addition, our personnel expenses are decreased by the capitalization of payroll costs related to a project to develop software for internal use and the payroll costs associated with the processing and settlement of certain catastrophe claims which are recoverable from reinsurers under reinsurance contracts. The period-over-period increase of $1,666,000 was primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense, an increase in the headcount of temporary and full-time employees, and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in late February 2021.

Income Tax Benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1,636,000 for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. This compared with approximately $6,146,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.5%. The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the non-deductibility of certain executive compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2021 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 66.5% compared with 82.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net premiums earned.

The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2021 (defined as underwriting expenses, general and administrative personnel expenses, interest and other operating expenses related to net premiums earned) was 45.7% compared with 49.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in net premiums earned and the decrease in interest expense, offset by the increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses and the increase in policy acquisition, underwriting and personnel expenses.

The combined ratio (total of all expenses in relation to net premiums earned) is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 112.2% compared with 132.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in 2021 was attributable to the factors described above.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 70.6% compared with 77.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in 2021 was attributable to the factors described above.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflect net income of approximately $5,807,000 or $0.22 diluted earnings per share, compared with approximately $24,873,000 or $3.03 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The period-over-period decrease in net income was primarily due to a $44,668,000 increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses, a one-time gain on involuntary conversion of $36,969,000 included in our 2020 results, and a $30,547,000 increase in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, offset by an increase in net premiums earned of $77,521,000, a $12,617,000 increase in income from our investment portfolio (consisting of net investment income/loss and net realized and unrealized gains/losses), and a $3,103,000 decrease in interest expense.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $420,191,000 and $306,862,000, respectively. HCPCI gross premiums earned were $300,827,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $252,033,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase included $73,403,000 of gross premiums earned from the United insurance policies assumed. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $119,364,000 versus $54,829,000 for the same comparative period with the increase due to a greater number of policies in force from the growth in TypTap’s business.

Premiums Ceded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $145,112,000 and $109,304,000, respectively, representing 34.5% and 35.6%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $35,808,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance costs for the 2021 contract year due to an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount as a result of premium growth and expansion. Reinsurance costs were offset by a reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under multi-year reinsurance agreements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, premiums ceded included a decrease of $4,680,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a net reduction of $10,440,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Net Premiums Written for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled approximately $339,980,000 and $255,546,000, respectively. The $84,434,000 increase in 2021 resulted primarily from the factors described earlier.

Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $275,079,000 and $197,558,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended

Increase in Unearned Premiums		(64,901	)		(57,988	)
Net Premiums Earned	$	275,079		$	197,558

Net Investment Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $9,749,000 and $3,244,000, respectively. The $6,505,000 increase was primarily attributable to losses from limited partnership investments in 2020 due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and a net gain of $2,790,000 recognized in 2021 for a legal settlement received from The Kroger Co. See Net Investment Income (loss) under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Unrealized Investment Losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $649,000 and $581,000, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the sales of equity securities with aggregate net gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Expenses

Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $164,332,000 and $119,664,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was attributable to additional losses associated with the growth in TypTap’s business during 2021 and was offset by lower 2021 losses at HCPCI when compared with 2020. TypTap experienced an additional $13,985,000 of losses related to growth in its homeowners business, $9,116,000 of losses from policies assumed from United, and $2,887,000 in combined losses from hurricanes Henri and Ida. HCPCI 2021 losses for the nine months were comparatively lower due to 2020 losses of $17,679,000 from Hurricane Sally, $13,000,000 of losses from policies acquired from Anchor Property & Casualty Insurance Company, offset by 2021 losses of $27,712,000 from policies assumed from United, and $2,812,000 resulting from re-estimation of losses from Hurricane Sally. Both companies recorded additional losses during the nine months totaling a combined $8,000,000 from re-assessing losses from Tropical Storm Eta, a fourth quarter 2020 event. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $69,574,000 and $39,027,000 on a consolidated basis, respectively. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI insurance operations were $46,076,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $28,892,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was due to amortization of increased costs associated with the policies assumed from United. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $23,612,000 versus $10,641,000 for the same comparative period, with the increase attributable to amortization of increased commission costs related to the growth of TypTap’s policies in force over the past 12 months and the policies assumed from United.

General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $31,733,000 and $27,969,000, respectively. The period-over-period increase of $3,764,000 was primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense, an increase in the headcount of temporary and full-time employees, and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in late February 2021.

Interest Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $5,743,000 and $8,846,000, respectively. The decrease resulted from the early adoption of ASC 2020-06 “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity.” As described in Note 2 -- “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, ASU 2020-06 allows the reversal of discounts previously recorded to account for the cash conversion feature of convertible debt instruments. Our 4.25% convertible senior notes contain such a cash conversion feature and accordingly the discount was reversed January 1, 2021. As a result, interest expense no longer includes amounts representing the amortization of the discount.

Income Tax Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $2,888,000 and $9,143,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.2% for 2021 and 26.9% for 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain executive compensation.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 59.7% compared with 60.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net premiums earned.

The expense ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 44.6% compared with 43.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in policy acquisition, underwriting and personnel expenses, offset by the increase in net premiums earned and the decrease in interest expense.

The combined ratio is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 104.3% compared with 104.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 68.3% compared with 67.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily attributable to the increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses, offset by the increase in gross premiums earned.

Seasonality of Our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal as hurricanes and tropical storms affecting Florida, our primary market, typically occur during the period from June 1st through November 30th of each year. Winter storms in the northeast usually occur during the period between December 1st and March 31st of each year. Also, with our reinsurance treaty year typically effective June 1st of each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in reinsurance rates, coverage levels or changes in the total insured value of our policy base, will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1st of each year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Throughout our history, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuances of our common and preferred stock, debt offerings and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the cash received by our insurance subsidiaries from premiums written and investment income. We may consider raising additional capital through debt and equity offerings to support our growth and future investment opportunities.

Our insurance subsidiaries require liquidity and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our liabilities and invested assets. In the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. With the exception of litigated claims, substantially all of our losses and loss adjustment expenses are fully settled and paid within 100 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.

We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.

In the future, we anticipate our primary use of funds will be to pay claims, reinsurance premiums, interest, and dividends and to fund operating expenses and real estate acquisitions.

See Note 11 -- “Long-Term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Limited Partnership Investments

Our limited partnership investments consist of six private equity funds managed by their general partners. Four of these funds have unexpired capital commitments which are callable at the discretion of the fund’s general partner for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. Although capital commitments for two of the remaining funds have expired, the general partners may request additional funds under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2021, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $13,980,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Real Estate Investments

Real estate has long been a significant component of our overall investment portfolio. It diversifies our portfolio and helps offset the volatility of other higher-risk investments. Thus, we may consider increasing our real estate investment portfolio should an opportunity arise.

We currently have a 90% equity interest in FMKT Mel JV, LLC, a Florida limited liability company for which we are not the primary beneficiary. FMKT Mel JV’s real estate portfolio consists of outparcels for ground lease or sale. We have the option to take full ownership of these outparcels by acquiring the remaining 10% interest. Alternatively, we may sell these outparcels and allocate the profits from the sale before liquidating FMKT Mel JV.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $48,671,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries (of approximately $38,484,000) less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash provided by investing activities of $35,087,000 was primarily due to the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $100,130,000, the proceeds from redemptions and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $16,734,000, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $3,635,000, offset by the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $83,211,000, and the purchases of property and equipment of $2,583,000. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $54,077,000, which consisted of net proceeds of $93,738,000 from Centerbridge for investment in TTIG, offset by $9,713,000 of net cash dividend payments, net repayment of our revolving credit facility of $23,750,000, and $1,308,000 used in share repurchases.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $77,530,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries (of approximately $39,624,000) and $27,092,000 of net cash receipts from Anchor less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Due to the inclusion of the cash receipt from Anchor, net cash provided by operating activities was higher than usual. Net cash provided by investing activities of $133,800,000 was primarily due to the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $96,669,000, the proceeds from redemptions and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $60,870,000, and $44,000,000 of compensation received for the property taken by the power of eminent domain, offset by the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $57,375,000, the purchase of real estate investments of $3,052,000, limited partnership investments of $2,951,000, and the purchases of property and equipment of $5,928,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $28,151,000, which consisted of $16,533,000 used to repay 3.95% and 4% promissory notes, $9,279,000 of net cash dividend payments, $4,459,000 used to repurchase our 4.25% convertible senior notes, and $6,499,000 used in our share repurchases, and net repayment of our revolving credit facility of $1,000,000, offset by the proceeds from issuance of a 3.90% promissory note of $10,000,000.

Investments

The main objective of our investment policy is to maximize our after-tax investment income with a reasonable level of risk given the current financial market. Our excess cash is invested primarily in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and fixed-maturity and equity securities.

At September 30, 2021, we had $96,276,000 of fixed-maturity and equity investments, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the general interest rate environment affect the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments. While a rising interest rate environment enhances the returns available on new investments, it reduces the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments and thus the availability of gains on disposition. A decline in interest rates reduces the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments but increases the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments, creating the opportunity for realized investment gains on disposition. To maximize the gains from fixed-maturity investments in a low interest rate environment, we have decreased our holdings in fixed-maturity securities since the beginning of 2020.

In the future, we may alter our investment policy as to investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2021, we had unexpired capital commitments for limited partnerships in which we hold interests. Such commitments are not recognized in the financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 21 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Contractual Obligations and Commitment below for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our financial statements. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. We base our estimates on various assumptions and actuarial data we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

We believe our accounting policies specific to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets, warrants, and redeemable noncontrolling interest involve our most significant judgments and estimates material to our consolidated financial statements.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) is specific to property insurance, which is our insurance division’s only line of business. The Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. At each period end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience. Changes in the estimated liability are charged or credited to operations as the losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted.

The IBNR represents our estimate of the ultimate cost of all claims that have occurred but have not been reported to us, and in some cases may not yet be known to the insured, and future development of reported claims. Estimating the IBNR component of our Reserves involves considerable judgment on the part of management. At September 30, 2021, $151,669,000 of the total $203,177,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $51,508,000 relates to known cases which have been reported but not yet fully settled in which case we have established a reserve based on currently available information and our best estimate of the cost to settle each claim. At September 30, 2021, $33,889,000 of the $51,508,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.

Our Reserves decreased from $212,169,000 at December 31, 2020 to $203,177,000 at September 30, 2021. The $8,992,000 decrease is comprised of reductions in our Reserves of $30,790,000 specific to Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Michael, and reductions in our non-catastrophe Reserves of $43,738,000 for 2020 and $17,895,000 for 2019 and prior loss years, offset by $76,228,000 in reserves established for the 2021 loss year and additional reserves of $7,203,000 for Hurricane Sally and Tropical Storm Eta. The Reserves established for 2021 claims is primarily driven by an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of September 30, 2021. The decrease of $61,633,000 specific to our 2020 and prior loss-year reserves is due to settlement of claims related to those loss years.

Based on all information known to us, we consider our Reserves at September 30, 2021 to be adequate to cover our claims for losses that have occurred as of that date including losses yet to be reported to us. However, these estimates are continually reviewed by management as they are subject to significant variability and may be impacted by trends in claim severity and frequency or unusual exposures that have not yet been identified. As part of the process, we review historical data and consider various factors, including known and anticipated regulatory and legal developments, changes in social attitudes, inflation and economic conditions. As experience develops and other data becomes available, these estimates are revised, as required, resulting in increases or decreases to the existing unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they are made, and the liabilities may deviate substantially from prior estimates.

Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions

Two of our reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of loss experience obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under the contract. In the event that a loss arises, we will derecognize such asset in the period in which a loss arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our operating results when a catastrophic loss event occurs during the contract term.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we accrued benefits of $1,364,000 and $4,680,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we accrued benefits of $9,619,000 and $10,440,000, respectively. The accrual of benefits was recognized as a reduction in ceded premiums.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $1,819,000 of accrued benefits, the amount that would be charged to earnings in the event we experience a catastrophic loss that exceeds the coverage limit provided under such agreement. In June 2021, we collected $18,720,000 of premium refund from a reinsurer for the reinsurance contract that ended May 31, 2021.

We believe the credit risk associated with the collectability of accrued benefits is minimal based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial position and the reinsurer’s demonstrated ability to comply with contract terms.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We account for stock-based compensation using a recognition method based on fair value. For restricted stock with service based vesting conditions, fair value is determined by the market price of the stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is then recognized ratably over the requisite or derived service period of the award. Restricted stock awards with market based vesting conditions require the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist to estimate the fair value and derived service period of the award. We then recognize the compensation expense ratably over this derived service period. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires considerable judgment, including estimating stock price volatility or derived service periods. We develop our estimates based on historical data and market information.

Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets represent the fair value of consideration we paid and are estimated to pay in exchange for the renewal rights and non-compete intangible assets acquired from the seller. In the renewal rights transaction, we purchased the right, but not the obligation, to offer homeowners insurance coverage to all current policyholders of the seller in certain states on the agreed-upon policy replacement date. The renewal rights agreement also contains a non-compete clause whereby the seller agrees not to offer homeowners insurance policies in these states through a specified date. We record intangible assets based on the fair value of the consideration we paid and are estimated to pay to the seller as provided in the renewal rights agreement with the seller. We engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the allocation of the renewal rights and non-compete intangible assets acquired. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are evaluated periodically to ensure that there is no impairment to carrying value and no change required in the amortization period.

Warrants and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

In the capital investment transaction completed by TTIG with a fund associated with Centerbridge Partners, L.P., TTIG issued 10,000,000 total shares of Series A Preferred Stock and HCI issued warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of HCI common stock, in exchange for proceeds of $100,000,000. Both the fair value and expected term of the warrants were estimated with assistance from a third-party valuation specialist using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Total proceeds from the capital investment transaction were allocated using the residual fair value method, first to the warrants issued based on their estimated fair value, with the residual proceeds being allocated to the fair value of Series A Preferred Stock. See Note 18 -- “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The above and other accounting estimates and their related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there have been no other material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our investment portfolios at September 30, 2021 included fixed-maturity and equity securities, the purposes of which are not for speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Our investment securities are managed primarily by outside investment advisors and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our Board of Directors. From time to time, our investment committee may decide to invest in low risk assets such as U.S. government bonds.

Our investment portfolios are exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Fiscal and economic uncertainties caused by any government action or inaction may exacerbate these risks and potentially have adverse impacts on the value of our investment portfolios.

We classify our fixed-maturity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income within our stockholders’ equity. As such, any material temporary changes in their fair value can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity. In addition, we recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to our equity securities in our statement of income. As a result, our results of operations can be materially affected by the volatility in the equity market.

Interest Rate Risk

Our fixed-maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.

The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates to the fair value of our fixed-maturity securities at September 30, 2021 (amounts in thousands):


Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates	Estimated Fair Value		Change in Estimated Fair Value			Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Fair Value
300 basis point increase	$	43,019	$	(3,034	)		-6.59	%
200 basis point increase		44,030		(2,023	)		-4.39	%
100 basis point increase		45,042		(1,011	)		-2.20	%
100 basis point decrease		46,867		814			1.77	%
200 basis point decrease		47,320		1,267			2.75	%
300 basis point decrease		47,365		1,312			2.85	%

Credit Risk

Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate the risk by investing in fixed-maturity securities that are generally investment grade, by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or business sector, and by continually monitoring each individual security for declines in credit quality. While we emphasize credit quality in our investment selection process, significant downturns in the markets or general economy may impact the credit quality of our portfolio.

The following table presents the composition of our fixed-maturity securities, by rating, at September 30, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at September 30, 2021 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We may incur losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage the risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset mix.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

At September 30, 2021, we did not have any material exposure to foreign currency related risk.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluating their benefits relative to costs.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

With the exception of the item described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.

ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(a)

Sales of Unregistered Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 18, 2021, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to United in exchange for the renewal rights and non-compete agreement.

On February 26, 2021, warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock were issued to the lead investor in our subsidiary’s capital investment transaction.

(b)

Repurchases of Securities

None

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on Payment of Dividends

We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries, however, are subject to restrictions on the dividends they may pay. Those restrictions could impact HCI’s ability to pay future dividends.

Under Florida law, a domestic insurer may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholder except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, a Florida domestic insurer may not make dividend payments or distributions to its stockholder without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of (1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains.

Alternatively, a Florida domestic insurer may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (1) if the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains or (b) the insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, (2) the insurer will have policy holder capital surplus equal to or exceeding 115.0% of the minimum required statutory capital surplus after the dividend or distribution, (3) the insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution and (4) the notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution, the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory capital surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, a Florida domiciled insurer may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (1) subject to prior approval by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation or (2) 30 days after the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our insurance subsidiaries paid dividends of $11,900,000 to HCI.
