Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

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 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 addition, Greenleaf Capital, LLC, the Company’s real estate subsidiary, is primarily engaged in the business of owning and leasing real estate and operating marina facilities.

Assumed Business

Northeast Region

In 2021, the Company began providing quota share reinsurance on all in-force, new and renewal policies issued by United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, an insurance subsidiary of United Insurance Holdings Corporation (“United”) in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island (collectively “Northeast Region”). Through its insurance subsidiaries, the Company began renewing and/or replacing United policies in two states in December 2021 and a third state in January 2022.

Southeast Region

In February 2022, HCPCI entered into another reinsurance agreement with United where HCPCI provides 85% quota share reinsurance on all of United’s personal lines insurance business in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (collectively “Southeast Region”) from December 31, 2021 through May 31, 2022. Under this agreement, HCPCI paid United a catastrophe allowance of 9% of premium and a provisional ceding commission of 25% of premium. That percentage could increase up to 32% depending on the direct loss ratio results from the reinsured business.

The Company also entered into a renewal rights agreement with United in connection with the Southeast Region assumed business. Under the renewal rights agreement, the Company has the right to renew and/or replace United’s insurance policies at the end of their respective policy periods. The ability to replace policies is subject to regulatory approvals in the three states. The policy replacement date is June 1, 2022 or such other date as mutually agreed by both parties. In connection with the transaction, United agrees to not compete with the Company for the issuance of personal lines homeowners business in these three states until July 1, 2025. As part of the transaction, United will receive a renewal rights ceding commission of 6%, with a portion of the ceding commission paid up-front. See Note 7 -- “Intangible Assets, Net” for additional information.

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 March 31, 2022 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, 2022. 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, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022.

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.

Revenue from Claims Processing Services

Revenue related to claims processing services is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues from claims processing services were $1,007. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, other assets included $248 and $314, respectively, of amounts receivable attributable to this service.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Ceded reinsurance premiums payable were reclassified out of other liabilities and funds withheld for assumed business were reclassified out of other assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 within the consolidated statement of cash flows to conform with the current year presentation.

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Note 6 -- 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.

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

The remaining weighted-average amortization periods for the intangible assets at March 31, 2022 are summarized in the table below:


Anchor tenant relationships		12.2 years
In-place leases		9.9 years
Policy renewal rights - United		3.9 years
Non-compete agreements - United		1.1 years

(a)

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

(b)

$195 was fully amortized in June 2021.

In connection with the Southeast Region assumed business as described in Note 1 -- “Nature of Operations” the Company recorded intangible assets of $4,869 representing the renewal rights and non-compete agreement in exchange for contingent consideration consisting of a 6% commission on any replacement premium which includes $3,800 of commission prepaid up-front. The contingent consideration was estimated at $4,869 with the $1,069 contingent liability included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of the intangible assets related to the Southeast Region is expected to begin June 1, 2022.

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.

Convertible Senior Notes

4.25% Convertible Senior Notes. On March 1, 2022, none of the holders of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes exercised the put option, which would have required the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the notes at par. 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 Senior Notes. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, the conversion rate of the Company’s 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes was 16.4853 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which was the equivalent of approximately $60.66 per share.

As of March 31, 2022, the debt issuance costs for the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes had been fully amortized.

Note 11 -- Reinsurance

Reinsurance obtained from other insurance companies

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts and a portion of its flood insurance exposure under 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 and a profit commission equal to 10% of net profit.

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:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022			2021
Premiums Written:
Direct	$	171,981		$	110,131
Assumed		5,313			15,717
Gross written		177,294			125,848
Ceded		(53,162	)		(43,099	)
Net premiums written	$	124,132		$	82,749
Premiums Earned:
Direct	$	148,846		$	110,292
Assumed		30,079			20,650
Gross earned		178,925			130,942
Ceded		(53,162	)		(43,099	)
Net premiums earned	$	125,763		$	87,843

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized ceded losses of $870 and $107, respectively, as reductions in losses and loss adjustment expenses. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 55 reinsurers participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. Total net amounts recoverable and receivable from reinsurers at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $69,596 and $76,650, respectively. Approximately 66.1% of the reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2022 was receivable from three reinsurers, one of which was the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a tax-exempt state trust fund. Based on all available information considered in the rating-based method, the Company recognized decreases in credit loss expense of $11 and $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Allowances for credit losses related to the reinsurance recoverable balance were $79 and $90 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company has reinsurance contracts that include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $1,484 and $4,680, respectively, related to these adjustments in the consolidated statements of income.

Amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions are reflected in other assets. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, other assets included $4,548 and $3,064, respectively. 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.

Reinsurance provided to other insurance companies

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $6,849 of assumed premiums written related to the Northeast Region’s insurance policies was derecognized, which primarily resulted from the return of the unearned portion of assumed written premiums subsequent to the Company's renewal and/or replacement of insurance policies in the State of New Jersey. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, assumed premiums written were $15,717. At March 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $4,305 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of ceding commission payable of $1,418 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $5,190, offset by premiums receivable of $2,303. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a net balance of $4,486 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of ceding commission payable of $535 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $4,017, offset by premiums receivable of $66.

Effective December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide 85% quota share reinsurance on United’s personal lines insurance policies in the states of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, assumed premiums written related to the Southeast Region’s insurance policies were $12,162. At March 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $1,178 receivable from United, consisting of premiums receivable of $4,792 offset by ceding commission payable of $1,198, a catastrophe cost allowance of $949 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $1,467. At December 31, 2021, there was an amount receivable from United of $23,325, net of a ceding commission of $8,835 and a catastrophe cost allowance of $3,181.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of funds withheld for assumed business related to the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreements with United was $84,068 and $73,716, respectively.

Note 12 -- 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 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

	2022			2021
Net balance, beginning of period*	$	172,410		$	141,065

Add: reinsurance recoverable before allowance for credit losses		54,955			61,143
Gross balance, end of period	$	234,792		$	205,773

* Net balance represents beginning-of-period liability for unpaid losses and LAE less beginning-of-period reinsurance recoverable for unpaid losses and LAE.

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 months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized losses related to prior periods of $2,628 primarily to increase the reserve resulting from increased litigation. Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included estimated losses, net of reinsurance, of approximately $12,961 related to policies assumed from United, approximately $2,055 of which pertained to TypTap. In addition, the Company recognized $6,121 of losses related to weather events in Florida during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 13 -- 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 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 69.8% and 77.7%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 28.3% and 17.2%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 55.6% and 58.7%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 32.3% and 29.3%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments.

The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the recognition of tax benefits attributable to restricted stock that vested in February 2022, offset by the increased Florida corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2022. 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 16 -- 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:

Restricted Stock Awards

From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to certain 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.

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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 69.8% and 77.7%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group represented 28.3% and 17.2%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 55.6% and 58.7%, respectively, and

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.

In 2021, HCPCI began providing quota share reinsurance on all in-force, new and renewal policies issued by United in the Northeast Region. HCPCI began renewing and/or replacing United policies in two states in December 2021 and a third state in January 2022.

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 68,748 at March 31, 2022. TypTap has been successful in using internally developed proprietary technology to underwrite, select and write policies efficiently. As of April 20, 2022, TypTap has been approved to offer homeowners coverage in 18 states outside of Florida. TypTap is currently operating in twelve states. In addition to the expansion in TypTap business, we also expect continued growth from the United policies assigned to TypTap through the renewal rights agreements acquired by HCI.

In 2021, TypTap began providing quota share reinsurance on all in-force, new and renewal policies issued by United in the Northeast Region. TypTap began renewing and/or replacing United policies in two states in December 2021 and a third state in January 2022.

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 devices. The operations, which are in Tampa, Florida and Noida, India, are focused on developing cloud-based, innovative products and services that support in-house operations as well as our third-party relationships with our agency partners and claim vendors. These products include SAMSTM, HarmonyTM, AtlasViewer® and ClaimColonyTM.

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 an 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 April 26, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share. The dividends are payable on June 17, 2022 to stockholders of record on May 17, 2022.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflect net income of approximately $2,791,000 or $0.09 diluted earnings per share, compared with approximately $6,845,000 or $0.75 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a $26,953,000 increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses, a net decrease in income from our investment portfolio (consisting of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains or losses) of $6,460,000, a $6,449,000 increase in personnel and other operating expenses, and a $6,343,000 increase in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, offset by an increase in net premiums earned of $37,920,000 and a $1,478,000 decrease in interest expense.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $178,925,000 and $130,942,000, respectively. HCPCI gross premiums earned were $118,303,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $102,131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross premiums earned from the United insurance policies assumed were $30,079,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $20,650,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $60,622,000 versus $28,811,000 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $53,162,000 and $43,099,000, respectively, representing 29.7% and 32.9%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $10,063,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance costs effective June 1, 2021 due to an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount as a result of premium growth and expansion.

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. Reinsurance costs can be decreased by a reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under multi-year reinsurance contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, premiums ceded included a decrease of $1,484,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a decrease of $4,680,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Net Premiums Written for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled approximately $124,132,000 and $82,749,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. The increase in 2022 resulted from an increase in gross premiums written from the United insurance policies assumed and the growth of TypTap business. We had approximately 211,800 policies in force at March 31, 2022 (excluding policies assumed from United) as compared with approximately 154,000 policies in force at March 31, 2021.

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $125,763,000 and $87,843,000, 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Net Premiums Written	$	124,132	$	82,749
Decrease in Unearned Premiums		1,631		5,094
Net Premiums Earned	$	125,763	$	87,843

Net Investment Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $2,868,000 and $4,594,000, respectively. The $1,726,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a $2,650,000 decrease in income from real estate investments, offset by a $993,000 increase in income from limited partnership investments. See Net Investment Income (loss) under Note 4 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Realized Investment Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were approximately $314,000 versus $1,113,000 of net realized investment gains for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $1,427,000 decrease was primarily attributable to net gains from selling equity securities and other investments during 2021.

Net Unrealized Investment Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $3,576,000 and $269,000, respectively. The net unrealized investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to an overall decline in the equity market compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Expenses

Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $72,704,000 and $45,751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. HCPCI losses and loss adjustment expenses were $43,995,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $33,439,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to $4,197,000 of losses associated with growth in HCPCI’s Florida portfolio, a $6,070,000 net increase in losses attributable to the United policies assumed due to an increase in the number of policies assumed from United and weather-related losses incurred during the first quarter of 2022. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for TypTap were $28,988,000 versus $12,312,000 for the same comparative period. The increase was attributable to the greater number of TypTap policies in force. 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $29,408,000 and $23,065,000 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, catastrophe allowance payable to United, and premium taxes. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI insurance operations were $19,765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $17,571,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to amortization of increased costs associated with the increase in the number of policies assumed from United. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $9,705,000 versus $5,678,000 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $14,034,000 and $9,650,000, 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 $4,384,000 was primarily attributable to increased 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 2022.

Interest Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $601,000 and $2,079,000, respectively. The decrease primarily resulted from conversions of our 4.25% convertible senior notes during the second half of 2021.

Income Tax Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $1,210,000 and $3,257,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.2% for 2022 and 32.2% for 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits attributable to restricted stock that vested in February 2022, offset by the increased Florida corporate tax rate effective January 1, 2022.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2022 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 57.8% compared with 52.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses as further described above, offset in part by the increase in net premiums earned.

The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2022 (defined as total expenses excluding losses and loss adjustment expenses related to net premiums earned) was 40.0% compared with 44.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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 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 March 31, 2022 was 97.8% compared with 97.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The slight increase in 2022 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 March 31, 2022 was 68.8% compared with 65.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in 2022 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, and other southeastern states 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 10 -- “Long-Term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Share Repurchase Plan

In March 2022, the Board approved a plan to repurchase up to $20,000,000 of common shares during 2022 under which we may purchase shares of common stock in open market purchases, block transactions and privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. See Note 18 -- “Equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

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 March 31, 2022, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $7,750,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 4 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Real Estate Investment

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 an outparcel for ground lease or sale. We have the option to take full ownership of this outparcel by acquiring the remaining 10% interest. Alternatively, we may sell this outparcel and allocate the profits from the sale before liquidating FMKT Mel JV.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $57,349,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries (of approximately $7,936,000) less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $109,899,000 was primarily due to the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $134,043,000, the purchase of intangible assets from United of $3,800,000, and the purchases of property and equipment of $1,861,000, offset by the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $27,427,000, the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $1,250,000, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $785,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $7,328,000, which was primarily due to $4,046,000 of net cash dividend payments, cash dividends paid to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $2,508,000, $398,000 of share repurchases, and repayments of long-term debt of $249,000.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $36,140,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, reinsurance recoveries (of approximately $13,543,000) less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash provided by investing activities of $19,141,000 was primarily due to the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $34,378,000, the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $12,486,000, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $1,546,000, offset by the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $28,391,000, and the purchases of property and equipment of $697,000. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $66,784,000, which consisted of net proceeds of $93,738,000 from Centerbridge for investment in TTIG, offset by $2,793,000 of net cash dividend payments, and net repayment of our revolving credit facility of $23,750,000.

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 March 31, 2022, we had $191,888,000 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.

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 March 31, 2022, 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 20 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, limited partnership investments, 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 subsidiaries’ 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 March 31, 2022, $172,959,000 of the total $234,792,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $61,833,000 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 March 31, 2022, $49,063,000 of the $61,833,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.

Our Reserves decreased from $237,165,000 at December 31, 2021 to $234,792,000 at March 31, 2022. The $2,373,000 decrease is comprised of reductions in our Reserves of $9,193,000 specific to Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Michael, Hurricane Sally and Tropical Storm Eta, and reductions in our non-catastrophe Reserves of $33,673,000 for 2021 and $10,787,000 for 2020 and prior loss years, offset by $51,280,000 in reserves established for the 2022 loss year. The Reserves established for 2022 claims is primarily driven by an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of March 31, 2022. The decrease of $53,653,000 specific to our 2021 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 March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, we accrued benefits of $1,484,000 and $4,680,000, respectively. The accrual of benefits was recognized as a reduction in ceded premiums.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $4,548,000 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.

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.

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 10, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there have been no other material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our investment portfolios at March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 (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	$	140,613	$	(10,071	)		-6.68	%
200 basis point increase		143,969		(6,715	)		-4.46	%
100 basis point increase		147,326		(3,358	)		-2.23	%
100 basis point decrease		154,040		3,356			2.23	%
200 basis point decrease		157,375		6,691			4.44	%
300 basis point decrease		158,815		8,131			5.40	%

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 March 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):


			% of Total				% of Total
	Amortized		Amortized		Estimated		Estimated

CCC+, CC and Not rated		1,808		1		1,816		1
Total	$	153,776		100	$	150,684		100

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at March 31, 2022 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.

The following table illustrates the composition of our equity securities at March 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

At March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 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

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 10, 2022.

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 three months ended March 31, 2022, our insurance subsidiaries paid dividends of $12,000,000 to HCI.
