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 each insurance subsidiary are supported by HCI Group, Inc. and certain HCI subsidiaries. The operations of TypTap are also supported by TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. (“TTIG”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, and certain TTIG subsidiaries. The Company emphasizes the use of internally developed technologies to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to assist in the underwriting process and generate savings as well as 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.

Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of 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, 2023 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, 2023. 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, 2022 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023.

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, allowance for credit losses, and stock-based compensation expense involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

In the case of assumed business, the Company relies entirely on the ceding insurance company to provide information about premiums, losses, and loss adjustment expenses. When the information is not available at the reporting date, the Company will make estimates based on all recent available data. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

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 statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, revenues from claims processing services were $527 and $1,007, respectively.

Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-01. In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-01 (“ASU 2023-01”) Leases (Topic 842). For public entities, this update amends the required amortization period for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases to be over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, as long as the lessee controls the use of the asset through a lease. In addition, if the lessor is sub-leasing the asset while simultaneously leasing the asset from an entity not within the same common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group. Once the lessee no longer controls the use of the asset, the asset will be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity. ASU 2023-01 is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its financial position.

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 consolidated statements of cash flows.


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	302,025	$	234,863
Restricted cash		2,987		2,900
Total	$	305,012	$	237,763

Restricted cash represents funds in the Company’s sole ownership primarily held by certain states to meet regulatory requirements in which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries conduct business and not available for immediate business use. Funds withheld in an account for which the Company is a co-owner but not the named beneficiary are not considered restricted cash and are included in funds withheld for assumed business on the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the sale of the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida to a non-affiliate as described in Note 5 -- “Investments” under Real Estate Investments, $87 of restricted cash was deposited in escrow in March 2023 with its release contingent on certain post-sale conditions being met.

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.

There was no balance or activity in the allowance for credit losses of available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

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.

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.

HCI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash held by state authorities or deposited in escrow. Its 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

From time to time, the Company has an amount outstanding under a revolving credit facility. The interest rate is variable and is periodically adjusted based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a ten basis points adjustment plus a margin based on the debt-to-capital ratio. As a result, carrying value, when outstanding, 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
4.75% Convertible Senior Notes	2042	Quoted price
4.25% Convertible Senior Notes	2037	Quoted price
3.90% Promissory Note	*	Discounted cash flow method/Level 3 inputs
3.75% Callable Promissory Note	*	Discounted cash flow method/Level 3 inputs
4.55% Promissory Note	2036	Discounted cash flow method/Level 3 inputs


*	Debt derecognized in March 2023. See Note 11 -- “Long-Term Debt” for additional information.

Includes amortization of debt issuance costs.

4.25% Convertible Senior 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 Senior Notes. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023, the conversion rate of the Company’s 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes was 16.5486 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which was the equivalent of approximately $60.43 per share.

There were no unamortized debt issuance costs for the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes at March 31, 2023.

4.75% Convertible Senior Notes

The conversion rate of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes is currently 12.4166 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which is the equivalent of approximately $80.54 per share.

The effective interest rate for the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes, taking into account both cash and non-cash components, approximates 5.6%. Had a 20-year term been used for the amortization of the issuance costs of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the annual effective interest rate charged to earnings would have decreased to approximately 5.0%. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining amortization period of the debt issuance costs was expected to be 4.2 years for the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes.

3.90% Promissory Note

On March 31, 2023, in conjunction with the sale of the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida for a price of $18,500, the buyer assumed the 3.90% Promissory Note from the Company which consisted of the $8,979 principal balance plus $16 of accrued interest at March 31, 2023.

3.75% Callable Promissory Note

On March 31, 2023, the Company made an early repayment of the entirety of its 3.75% Callable Promissory Note which included $6,775 of principal balance plus $22 of accrued interest. As a result, the Company incurred a $177 loss on extinguishment of debt. The note was collateralized by the retail shopping center investment property in Sorrento, Florida which was sold as described in Note 5 -- “Investments” under Real Estate Investments.

Note 12 -- 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. On January 12, 2023, HCPCI and TypTap received approval from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) to discontinue flood insurance policies written in Florida with policy cancellation effective dates no later than May 31, 2023. The reason for discontinuation is primarily attributable to the increased costs and reduced availability of flood reinsurance. The discontinuation will not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations.

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:

	2023			2022
Premiums Written:
Direct	$	207,423		$	171,981

Ceded		(70,509	)		(53,162	)
Net premiums earned	$	109,559		$	125,763

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized ceded losses of $2,751 and $870, respectively, as reductions in losses and loss adjustment expenses. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 45 reinsurers participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. Total net amounts recoverable and receivable from reinsurers at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $596,700 and $688,359, respectively. Approximately 60.6% of the reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2023 was receivable from six 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 $1 and $11 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Allowances for credit losses related to the reinsurance recoverable balance were $453 and $454 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

One of the existing reinsurance contracts includes retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. Prior to June 1, 2022, there were two reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $6,993 and $1,484, respectively, related to these adjustments in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 21 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.

Amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions are reflected in other assets. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other assets included $23,310 and $16,317, respectively, of amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions. Management believes the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal as the amount receivable is concentrated with one reinsurer with a good credit rating and the Company monitors the creditworthiness of this reinsurer based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial condition.

Reinsurance provided to other insurance companies

In 2022, the Company provided quota share reinsurance on all 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”) and the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (collectively “Southeast Region”). These policies were renewed and/or replaced by the Company. As of the financial reporting date, there was no reinsurance provided to United by the Company. However, additional losses may be incurred pertaining to the previous coverage periods of the quota share reinsurance agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, assumed premiums written related to the Northeast Region’s insurance policies were $0, whereas for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $6,849 of assumed premiums written related to the Northeast Region’s insurance policies were 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 New Jersey. At March 31, 2023, the Company had a net balance of $1,207 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $626 and ceding commission payable of $581. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $1,581 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $1,000 and ceding commission payable of $581. Effective December 30, 2022, the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreement to provide 100% reinsurance on United’s policies in the Northeast Region was commuted.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $7,569 of assumed premiums written related to the Southeast Region’s insurance policies were 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 Southeast Region, whereas 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, 2023, the Company had a net balance of $14,402 due to United related to the Southeast Region, consisting of premiums payable of $9,506 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $6,417, offset by ceding commission receivable of $1,521. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $7,521 due to United related to the Southeast Region, consisting of payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $7,606 and ceding commission payable of $16, offset by premiums receivable of $101.

On February 27, 2023, United’s Florida-domiciled residential insurance subsidiary was placed into receivership by the State of Florida due to its financial insolvency. At March 31, 2023, the Company had a net amount due to United of $10,270 and funds withheld for assumed business in trust accounts totaling $45,274 for the benefit of policies assumed from United. As of March 31, 2023, the Company no longer provided TPA services to United. The Company cannot predict the actions a receiver might take, which may include restrictions on, or use of, funds held in trust. Any such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of funds withheld for assumed business related to the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreements with United was $45,274 and $48,772, respectively.

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 claims 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
	March 31,
	2023			2022
Net balance, beginning of period*	$	246,546		$	172,410
Incurred, net of reinsurance, related to:
Current period		56,698			70,076
Prior periods		3,867			2,628
Total incurred, net of reinsurance		60,565			72,704
Paid, net of reinsurance, related to:
Current period		(11,110	)		(18,796	)
Prior periods		(49,950	)		(46,481	)
Total paid, net of reinsurance		(61,060	)		(65,277	)
Net balance, end of period		246,051			179,837
Add: reinsurance recoverable before allowance for credit losses		560,257			54,955
Gross balance, end of period	$	806,308		$	234,792

* 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, 2023, the Company recognized losses related to prior periods of $3,867 primarily to increase reserves in response to litigation and claim severity. Losses and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included net estimated losses of approximately $21,635 related to United policies assumed, renewed and/or replaced. Lower losses and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted from a decrease in claims and litigation related to Florida policies.

Note 14 -- Segment Information

The Company identifies its operating divisions or segments based on managerial emphasis, organizational structure and revenue source. 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, 2023 and 2022, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 61.2% and 69.8%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 36.5% and 28.3%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 52.5% and 53.4%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 39.0% and 37.9%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Note 16 -- Income Taxes

A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on available evidence both positive and negative, including recent operating results, available tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized and therefore recorded a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets each quarter, and as of March 31, 2023, based on all of the available evidence, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and therefore is releasing the entire valuation allowance in 2023, as a part of the effective tax rate. During the first quarter of 2023, approximately $890 of valuation allowance was released through income tax expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded approximately $5,343 and $1,210, respectively, of income tax expense, which resulted in effective tax rates of 23.1% and 30.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the release of valuation allowance established in 2022 during the first quarter of 2023 and the decrease in non-deductible compensation expense. 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 (loss) 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 (loss) per share during periods of net income or loss. For a majority-owned subsidiary, its basic and diluted earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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:


	Three Months Ended							Three Months Ended

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, information technology services, insurance management, real estate and reinsurance. We 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, 2023 and 2022, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 61.2% and 69.8%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group

represented 36.5% and 28.3%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 52.5% and 53.4%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 39.0% and 37.9%, 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.

Due to the reduced availability and affordability of flood reinsurance coverage, HCPCI will cease to offer flood insurance policies in 2023. Gross premiums earned from such policies comprised less than 1% of total HCPCI gross premiums earned during 2022.

Reinsurance and other auxiliary operations

We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd (“Claddaugh”). 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, however Claddaugh did not enter into any retrocession contracts for the 2022-2023 treaty year. Currently, Claddaugh does not provide reinsurance to non-affiliates. Other auxiliary operations also include claim adjusting and processing services.

TypTap Group

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 internally developed technology to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to generate savings and efficiency for its insurance operations.

Property and Casualty Insurance

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 102,839 at March 31, 2023. TypTap has been successful in using internally developed proprietary technology to underwrite, select and write policies efficiently. As of April 28, 2023, TypTap has been approved to offer homeowners coverage in 29 states outside of Florida.

TypTap is also phasing out its flood insurance products during 2023 due to the reduced availability and affordability of flood reinsurance coverage. Gross premiums earned from such policies comprised less than 5% of total TypTap gross premiums earned during 2022.

Information Technology

Our information technology operations include a team of experienced software developers with extensive knowledge in designing and creating web-based applications. The operations, which are located 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 multiple properties we own and operate for investment purposes and also properties we own and use for our own operations. Properties used in operations consist of two Tampa office buildings and an insurance operations site in Ocala, Florida. Our investment properties include retail shopping centers, two marinas, and undeveloped land near TTIG’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

In March 2023, we finalized the sales of two retail shopping center investment properties in Melbourne and Sorrento, Florida. See Real Estate 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.

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 14, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share. The dividends are payable on June 16, 2023 to stockholders of record on May 19, 2023.

On April 19, 2023, we incorporated a new property and casualty insurance subsidiary, Tailrow Insurance Company (“Tailrow”), in the State of Florida. Tailrow currently has no operations.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflect net income of approximately $17,793,000 or $1.54 diluted earnings per share, compared with approximately $2,791,000 or $0.09 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to an $18,117,000 net increase in income from our investment portfolio (consisting of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains or losses), a $12,139,000 decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses, and a $6,688,000 decrease in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, offset by a $17,347,000 increase in premiums ceded and a $2,200,000 increase in interest expense.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $180,068,000 and $178,925,000, respectively. The $1,143,000 increase was primarily attributable to the effect of premium rate increases, offset by a reduction in the number of policies in force. Gross premiums earned from the United insurance policies assumed were $7,163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $30,079,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. HCPCI gross premiums earned were $92,456,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $118,303,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $87,612,000 compared with $60,622,000 for the same comparative period in 2022.

Premiums Ceded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $70,509,000 and $53,162,000, respectively, representing 39.2% and 29.7%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $17,347,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance costs effective June 1, 2022 and an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount as a result of premium growth and expansion, offset by a net reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under multi-year reinsurance contracts.

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, 2023, premiums ceded included a decrease of $6,993,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a decrease of $1,484,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contract with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Net Premiums Written for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled approximately $129,345,000 and $124,132,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. The increase in 2023 primarily resulted from the growth in TypTap’s business, offset by an increase in premiums ceded to reinsurers as described above. We had approximately 216,300 policies in force at March 31, 2023 (direct and assumed) as compared with approximately 283,900 policies in force at March 31, 2022.

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $109,559,000 and $125,763,000, 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, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2023			2022
Net Premiums Written	$	129,345		$	124,132
(Increase) Decrease in Unearned Premiums		(19,786	)		1,631
Net Premiums Earned	$	109,559		$	125,763

Net Investment Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $17,715,000 and $2,868,000, respectively. The $14,847,000 increase was attributable to an $8,946,000 increase in income from real estate investments, a $3,587,000 increase in income from available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities and a $3,514,000 increase in interest income from cash and cash equivalents. See Net Investment Income under Note 5 -- “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, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1,149,000 and $314,000, respectively. The $835,000 increase was primarily attributable to net realized losses of approximately $1,153,000 from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with net realized losses of approximately $395,000 from sales of these securities during the corresponding period in 2022.

Net Unrealized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were approximately $529,000 compared with approximately $3,576,000 of net unrealized investment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall improvement in the equity market compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Expenses

Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $60,565,000 and $72,704,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The losses and loss adjustment expenses of HCPCI Insurance Operations were $28,782,000 and $43,995,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower number of Florida and non-Florida policies as well as fewer claims and less litigation related to Florida policies as compared with the first quarter of 2022. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for TypTap were $33,056,000 compared with $28,988,000 for the same comparative period. The increase was attributable to an increase in the number of non-Florida policies, offset by a positive effect resulting from a decrease in the amount of claims and litigation related to Florida policies when compared with the first quarter of 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $22,720,000 and $29,408,000 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 paid to United, and premium taxes. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI Insurance Operations were $10,276,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $19,765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in amortized costs was primarily due to a reduction of policies in force. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $12,474,000 compared with $9,705,000 for the same comparative period, with the increase in amortized costs attributable to the growth of TypTap’s non-Florida policies, offset by lower policy acquisition costs in Florida resulting from lower commissions and a higher mix of renewal versus new business in Florida.

General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $13,502,000 and $14,034,000, 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 projects 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 decrease of $532,000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, offset by an increase in the headcount of temporary and full-time employees and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in late February 2023.

Interest Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $2,801,000 and $601,000, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from interest expense related to our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in May 2022.

Income Tax Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $5,343,000 and $1,210,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in effective tax rates of 23.1% and 30.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the release of valuation allowance established in 2022 during the first quarter of 2023 and the decrease in non-deductible compensation expense.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2023 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 55.3% compared with 57.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses due to fewer claims and less litigation related to Florida policies as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2023 (defined as total expenses excluding losses and loss adjustment expenses related to net premiums earned) was 41.4% compared with 40.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in reinsurance costs and the increase in interest expense, offset in part by the decrease in policy acquisition and other underwriting 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, 2023 was 96.7% compared with 97.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in 2023 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, 2023 was 58.8% compared with 68.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses and the decrease in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, offset by the increase in interest expense.

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 on 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 on 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/or 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 approximately 90 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. Two 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 the four remaining funds have expired, the general partners may request additional funds under certain circumstances. At March 31, 2023, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $5,501,000. 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.

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 assets. Thus, we may consider expanding our real estate investment portfolio should an opportunity arise.

We had a 90% equity interest in FMKT Mel JV, LLC, a Florida limited liability company for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Following the sale of its last remaining outparcel in June 2022, FMKT Mel JV distributed its earnings during the third quarter of 2022 and the subsidiary was liquidated in December 2022. In January 2023, we received the final distribution of $18,000 from FMKT Mel JV.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $99,109,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, and reinsurance recoveries of approximately $94,412,000 less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $17,757,000 was primarily due to the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $166,624,000 and purchases of property and equipment of $1,469,000, offset by the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $112,497,000, the proceeds from sales of real estate investments of $21,746,000, the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $14,814,000, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $1,602,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $14,100,000, which was primarily due to the redemption of long-term debt of $6,895,000, $3,432,000 of cash dividend payments, cash dividends paid to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3,012,000, $305,000 of share repurchases, and repayments of long-term debt of $258,000.

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, and 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.

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, 2023, we had $562,171,000 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 with regard 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, 2023, we had unexpired capital commitments for limited partnerships in which we hold interests. Such commitments are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated 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 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 consolidated 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, 2023, $728,148,000 of the total $806,308,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $78,160,000 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, 2023, $71,832,000 of the $78,160,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.

Our Reserves decreased from $863,765,000 at December 31, 2022 to $806,308,000 at March 31, 2023. The $57,457,000 decrease is comprised of reductions in our Reserves of $57,247,000 primarily specific to Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Irma, and reductions in our non-catastrophe Reserves of $34,781,000 for 2022 and $11,018,000 for 2021 and prior loss years, offset by $45,589,000 in reserves established for the 2023 loss year. The Reserves established for 2023 claims are primarily driven by an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of March 31, 2023. The decrease of $103,046,000 specific to our 2022 and prior loss-years 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, 2023 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 Contract with Retrospective Provisions

From time to time, our reinsurance contracts may 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, 2023 and 2022, we accrued benefits of $6,993,000 and $1,484,000, respectively. The accrual of benefits was recognized as a reduction in ceded premiums.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $23,310,000 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 these 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, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 -- “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our investment portfolio at March 31, 2023 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 portfolio is 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 portfolio.

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, 2023 (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	$	509,109	$	(15,647	)		-2.98	%
200 basis point increase		514,325		(10,431	)		-1.99	%
100 basis point increase		519,540		(5,216	)		-0.99	%
100 basis point decrease		529,972		5,216			0.99	%
200 basis point decrease		535,188		10,432			1.99	%
300 basis point decrease		540,404		15,648			2.98	%

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, 2023 (amounts in thousands):


	Cost or		% of Total				% of Total

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at March 31, 2023 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. We may incur potential 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 March 31, 2023, 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, 2023 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

We are 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 in 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, 2023.

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

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on the 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 stockholders 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 stockholders without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) 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 FLOIR if (1) the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards to 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 FLOIR 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 FLOIR or (2) 30 days after the FLOIR has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our insurance subsidiaries paid dividends of $10,000,000 to HCI.
