FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q this (“Form 10-Q”) or in documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated growth in revenue, earnings per share, estimated unpaid losses on insurance policies, investment returns and expectations about our liquidity, and our ability to meet our investment objectives and to manage and mitigate market risk with respect to our investments. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

•

increased costs of reinsurance, non-availability of reinsurance, and non-collectability of reinsurance;

•

the potential for discontinuation of the Citizens depopulation program and our inability to select favorable Citizens policies to assume;

•

a lack of significant redundancy in our operations;

•

our failure to attract and retain qualified employees and independent agents or our loss of key personnel;

•

our inability to generate investment income;

•

our inability to maintain our financial stability rating;

•

effects of emerging claim and coverage issues relating to legal, judicial, environmental and social conditions;

•

our exposure to catastrophic events;

•

the failure of our risk mitigation strategies or loss limitation methods; and

•

other risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The forward-looking events that we discuss in our Form 10-Q are valid only as of the date of our Form 10-Q and may not occur in light of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we describe from time to time in our filings with the SEC. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Parent Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), which provides personal and commercial residential insurance; Heritage MGA, LLC, the managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of our insurance subsidiary’s business; Contractors’ Alliance Network, LLC, our vendor network manager; Skye Lane Properties, LLC, our property management subsidiary; First Access Insurance Group, LLC, our retail agency; Osprey Re Ltd.; our reinsurance subsidiary that provides a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiary; and Heritage Insurance Claims, LLC an inactive subsidiary reserved for future development, together referred to as “the Company”.

Our primary products are personal and commercial residential insurance, which we currently offer only in Florida under authorization from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”). We conduct our operations under one business segment.

The condensed consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company intends to continue to take advantage of some, but not all, of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies until such time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company has, however, irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Changes to significant accounting policies

We have made no material changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Accounting Pronouncements

The Company describes below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on its financial statements or on its disclosures. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on fair value measurement (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years and which should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Earlier application is permitted. The new amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share practical expedient. In addition, the amendments remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-09 (“ASU 2015-09”), Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944), which improves disclosure requirements for all insurance entities that issue short-duration contracts. The amendments in ASU 2015-09 increase transparency of significant estimates made in measuring the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, improve comparability by requiring consistent disclosure of information, and provide financial statement users with additional information to facilitate analysis of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows and the development of loss reserve estimates. ASU 2015-09 is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within annual years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest (“ASC 835”) which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with the treatment required for debt discounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If

a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which clarifies accounting for share-based payments for which the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. That is the case when an employee is eligible to retire or otherwise terminate employment before the end of the period in which a performance target could be achieved and still be eligible to vest in the award if and when the performance target is achieved. The updated guidance clarifies that such a term should be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

There are no other recently issued accounting standards that apply to us or that are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 855-10, “Subsequent Events,” relating to subsequent events. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events. This guidance defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions that may occur would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events up to the date of issuance of this report (see Note 18).

The Company calculates the gain or loss realized on the sale of investments by comparing the sales price (fair value) to the cost or adjusted/amortized cost of the security sold. The Company determines the cost or adjusted/amortized cost of the security sold using the specific-identification method. The following tables detail the Company’s net realized gains (losses) by major investment category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

During the Company’s quarterly evaluations of its securities for impairment, the Company determined that none of its investments in debt and equity securities that reflected an unrealized loss position were other-than-temporarily impaired. The issuers of the debt securities in which the Company invests continue to make interest payments on a timely basis and have not suffered any credit rating reductions. The Company does not intend to sell nor is it likely that it would be required to sell the debt securities before the Company recovers its amortized cost basis. All the issuers of the equity securities it owns had near-term prospects that indicated the Company could recover its cost basis, and the Company also has the ability and the intent to hold these securities until the value equals or exceeds its cost.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For the Company’s investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, the Company obtains the fair values from its custodian, which uses a third-party valuation service, and we evaluate the relevant inputs, assumptions, methodologies and conclusions associated with such valuations. The valuation service calculates prices for the Company’s investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, then adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve as of quarter end. The inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, and therefore represent Level 2 inputs.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended and December 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, and 3.

The Company acquired a 55% participation in a commercial real estate mortgage loan for $6.1 million in 2013. The underlying $11.5 million loan was originated by unaffiliated lenders, and collateralized by commercial real estate located in Polk County, Florida. The Company records an asset in the amount of our pro rata share of the outstanding principal and carries the investment at amortized cost. The Company receives monthly principal and interest payments and recognizes income when collectible. The Company decreased its participation in this commercial real estate mortgage loan by $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

NOTE 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:


	*June 30, 2015*		*December 31, 2014*

The Company’s real estate consists of 13 acres of land and two buildings with a gross area of 148,000 square feet. The Company relocated to these facilities during March 2014. These facilities and the related existing tenant lease agreements were acquired in April 2013 for a total purchase price of $9.8 million paid in cash.

The Company currently leases space to non-affiliates and its subsidiary Heritage P&C, and occupies space in one of the buildings.

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares, including outstanding warrants and the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated.


	*Three Months Ended June 30,*				*Six Months Ended June 30,*
	*2015*		*2014*		*2015*		*2014*
Basic earnings per share:
Net income attributable to common stockholders (000’s)	$	25,400	$	9,566	$	55,456	$	17,454
Weighted average shares outstanding		29,877,636		22,119,754		29,838,322		19,256,172

Basic earnings per share:	$	0.85	$	0.43	$	1.86	$	0.91


Diluted earnings per share:

Weighted average dilutive shares		390,860		2,213,722		353,894		2,428,058

Total weighted average dilutive shares		30,268,496		24,333,476		30,192,216		21,684,230

Diluted earnings per share:	$	0.84	$	0.39	$	1.84	$	0.80

NOTE 7. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

The Company defers certain costs in connection with written policies, called Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”), net of corresponding amounts of ceded reinsurance commissions, called Deferred Reinsurance Ceding Commissions (“DRCC”). Net DPAC is amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies.

The Company anticipates that its DPAC costs will be fully recoverable in the near term. The table below depicts the activity with regard to DPAC during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:


	*Three Months Ended June 30,*						*Six Months Ended June 30,*
	*2015*			*2014*			*2015*			*2014*
	(In thousands)						(In thousands)
Beginning balance	$	25,843		$	12,226		$	24,370		$	9,765
Deferred Policy acquisition costs		18,358			19,550			32,924			26,484
Amortization		(12,253	)		(6,384	)		(25,346	)		(10,857	)

Ending balance	$	31,948		$	25,392		$	31,948		$	25,392

The DPAC at June 30, 2015 includes the amortization of $10 million of deferred costs paid during June 2014 in connection with the Company’s assumption of policies from Sunshine State Insurance Company (“SSIC”). For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company fully recognized the balance in DPAC and recorded $2.5 million of amortization costs related to the SSIC policy acquisition costs.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $33.8 million and $9.5 million of income tax expense which corresponds to an estimated annual effective tax rate of 37.89% and 35.2%, respectively.

The table below summarizes the significant components of our net deferred tax assets/liabilities:


	*June 30, 2015*		*December 31, 2014*
	(In thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
Unearned premiums	$	15,535	$	15,567
Tax-related discount on loss reserve		1,092		1,022
Unrealized loss		982		—
Stock-based compensation		967		1,258
Other		520		545

Total deferred tax assets		19,096		18,392

Deferred tax liabilities:
Deferred acquisition costs		10,905		9,401
Unrealized gain		—		1,081
Property and equipment		633		633
Other		655		655

Total deferred tax liabilities		12,193		11,770

Net deferred tax asset	$	6,903	$	6,622

In assessing the net realizable value of deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that it will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

No taxing authorities are currently examining any of the Company’s 2014, 2013 or 2012 federal or state income tax returns.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had no significant uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 9. REINSURANCE

The Company’s reinsurance program is designed, utilizing the Company’s risk management methodology, to address its exposure to catastrophes. The Company’s program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes. The Company’s reinsurance agreements are part of its catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide its stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in its property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to the Company’s policyholders.

2013 – 2014 Reinsurance Program

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company placed its reinsurance program for the period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014. The Company’s reinsurance program, which was segmented into layers of coverage, protected it for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company’s 2013-2014 reinsurance program incorporated the mandatory coverage required by law to be placed with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe reinsurance fund (“FHCF”). The Company also purchased private reinsurance below, alongside and above the FHCF layer, as well as aggregate reinsurance coverage. The following describes the various layers of the Company’s June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 reinsurance program.

•

The Company’s Retention. For the first catastrophic event, the Company had a primary retention of the first $9 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, of which the Company’s reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd (“Osprey”), was responsible for $3 million. For a second and third catastrophic event, Heritage P&C’s primary retention decreased to $3 million per event. To the extent that there was reinsurance coverage remaining, Heritage P&C had no primary retention for events beyond the third catastrophic event. Osprey had no primary retention beyond the first catastrophic event.

•

Layers Below FHCF. Immediately above the Company’s retention, the Company purchased $94.0 million of reinsurance from third party reinsurers and Osprey. Through Osprey, the Company retained an aggregate participation in this coverage of $3.5 million, comprised of a 3% participation of $31 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $9 million, or $0.9 million, and a 4% participation of $63 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $40 million, or $2.5 million. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company was able to reinstate the full amount of this reinsurance one time. To the extent that $94.0 million or a portion thereof was exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage.

•

FHCF Layer. The Company’s FHCF coverage included an estimated maximum provisional limit of 90% of $270 million, or $243 million, in excess of the Company’s retention and private reinsurance of $103 million. The limit and retention of the FHCF coverage was subject to upward or downward adjustment based on, among other things, submitted exposures to FHCF by all participants. The Company purchased coverage alongside and above the FHCF layer from third party reinsurers. The layer alongside was in the amount of $27 million and the layer immediately above was in the amount of $28.5 million. To the extent the FHCF coverage was adjusted, this private reinsurance would adjust to fill in any gaps in coverage up to the reinsurers’ aggregate limits for this layer. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company was able to reinstate the full amount of this private reinsurance one time. To the extent that all or a portion of either of these private layers was exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage. The FHCF coverage could not be reinstated once exhausted, but it did provide coverage for multiple events.

•

Aggregate Coverage. In addition to the layers described above, the Company also purchased $170 million of aggregate reinsurance coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $401.5 million for a first catastrophic event. To the extent that this coverage was not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, it provided coverage commencing at its reduced retention levels for second and subsequent events and where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. There is no reinstatement of the aggregate reinsurance coverage once exhausted, but it did provide coverage for multiple events.

For a first catastrophic event, the Company’s 2013 reinsurance program provided coverage for $571.5 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including its retention, and the Company was responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depended on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have had coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. The Company also purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to provide an additional $149.5 million of coverage. The Company’s aggregate reinsurance layer also provides coverage for second and subsequent events to the extent not exhausted in prior events.

During April 2014, Heritage P&C entered into two catastrophe reinsurance agreements with Citrus Re Ltd., a newly-formed Bermuda special purpose insurer. The agreements provide for three years of coverage from catastrophe losses caused by certain named storms, including hurricanes, beginning on June 1, 2014. The limit of coverage of $200 million is fully collateralized by a reinsurance trust account for the benefit of Heritage P&C. Heritage P&C pays a periodic premium to Citrus Re Ltd. during this three-year risk period. In April 2014, Citrus Re Ltd. issued $200 million of principal-at-risk variable notes due April 2017 to fund the reinsurance trust account and its obligations to Heritage P&C under the reinsurance agreements. The maturity date of the notes may be extended up to two additional years to satisfy claims for catastrophic events occurring during the three-year term of the reinsurance agreements. The Company has determined that, while Citrus Re Ltd. is a variable interest entity, the Company does not have any variable interests in Citrus Re Ltd. Accordingly, consolidation of or disclosures associated with Citrus Re Ltd. are not applicable.

2014 – 2015 Reinsurance Program

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company placed its reinsurance program for the period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015. The Company’s reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects it for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company’s 2014-2015 reinsurance program incorporates the mandatory coverage required by law to be placed with FHCF. For the 2014 hurricane season, the Company selected 90% participation in the FHCF. The Company also purchased private reinsurance below, alongside and above the FHCF layer, as well as aggregate reinsurance coverage. The following describes the various layers of the Company’s June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015 reinsurance program.

•

The Company’s Retention. For the first catastrophic event, the Company has a primary retention of the first $15 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, of which Osprey is responsible for $6 million. For a second event, Heritage P&C’s primary retention decreases to $2 million and Osprey is responsible for $4 million. To the extent that there is reinsurance coverage remaining, Heritage P&C has a $2 million primary retention for events beyond the second catastrophic event. Osprey has no primary retention beyond the second catastrophic event.

•

Layers Below FHCF. Immediately above the Company’s retention, the Company has purchased $185 million of reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company is able to reinstate the full amount of this reinsurance one time. To the extent that $185 million or a portion thereof is exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company has purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage. A portion of this coverage wraps around the FHCF and provides coverage alongside the FHCF.

•

FHCF Layer. The Company’s FHCF coverage includes an estimated maximum provisional limit of 90% of $484 million, or $436 million, in excess of its retention and private reinsurance of $181 million. The limit and retention of the FHCF coverage is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on, among other things, submitted exposures to FHCF by all participants. The Company has purchased coverage alongside from third party reinsurers. The layer alongside is in the amount of $48 million. To the extent the FHCF coverage is adjusted, this private reinsurance will adjust to fill in any gaps in coverage up to the reinsurers’ aggregate limits for this layer. The FHCF coverage cannot be reinstated once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events.

•

CAT Bond Layer. Immediately above the FHCF layer is the coverage provided by the reinsurance agreements entered into with Citrus Re Ltd., as described above in this footnote. The first contract with Citrus Re Ltd. provides $150 million of coverage and the second contract provides an additional $50 million of coverage. Osprey provides $25 million of coverage alongside the second contract.

•

Aggregate Coverage. In addition to the layers described above, the Company has also purchased $105 million of aggregate reinsurance coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $825.0 million for a first catastrophic event. To the extent that this coverage is not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, it provides coverage commencing at its reduced retention levels for second and subsequent events and where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. There is no reinstatement of the aggregate reinsurance coverage once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events. Osprey Re Ltd. provides $20 million of protection in the layer above $940 million.

For a first catastrophic event, the Company’s reinsurance program provides coverage for $990 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including its retention, and the Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. The Company has also purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to provide an additional $185 million of coverage. The Company aggregate reinsurance layer also provides coverage for second and subsequent events to the extent not exhausted in prior events.

2015 – 2016 Reinsurance Program

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company placed its reinsurance program for the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. The Company’s reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects it for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company’s 2015-2016 reinsurance program incorporates the mandatory coverage required by law to be placed with FHCF. For the 2015 hurricane season, the Company selected 75% participation in the FHCF. The Company also purchased private reinsurance below, alongside and above the FHCF layer, as well as aggregate reinsurance coverage. The following describes the various layers of the Company’s June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 reinsurance program.

•

The Company’s Retention. For the first catastrophic event, the Company has a primary retention of the first $35 million of losses and loss adjustment expenses, of which Osprey is responsible for $20 million. For a second event, Heritage P&C’s primary retention decreases to $5 million and Osprey is responsible for $10 million. To the extent that there is reinsurance coverage remaining, Heritage P&C has a $5 million primary retention for events beyond the second catastrophic event. Osprey has no primary retention beyond the second catastrophic event.

•

Layers Below FHCF. Immediately above the Company’s retention, the Company has purchased $440 million of reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Through the payment of a reinstatement premium, the Company is able to reinstate the full amount of this reinsurance one time. To the extent that $440 million or a portion thereof is exhausted in a first catastrophic event, the Company has purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to pay the required premium necessary for the reinstatement of this coverage. A portion of this coverage wraps around the FHCF and provides coverage alongside and above the FHCF.

•

FHCF Layer. The Company’s FHCF coverage includes an estimated maximum provisional limit of 75% of $920 million, or $690 million, in excess of its retention and private reinsurance of $336 million. The limit and retention of the FHCF coverage is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on, among other things, submitted exposures to FHCF by all participants. The Company has purchased coverage alongside from third party reinsurers and through reinsurance agreements with Citrus Re. Ltd. To the extent the FHCF coverage is adjusted, this private reinsurance with third party reinsurers and Citrus Re Ltd. will adjust to fill in any gaps in coverage up to the reinsurers’ aggregate limits for this layer. The FHCF coverage cannot be reinstated once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events.

•

CAT Bond Layer alongside the FHCF. During April 2015 (closed April 8, 2015), Heritage P&C entered into three catastrophe reinsurance agreements with Citrus Re Ltd. The agreements provide for three years of coverage from catastrophic losses caused by named storms, including hurricanes, beginning on June 1, 2015. Heritage P&C pays a periodic premium to Citrus Re Ltd. during this three-year risk period. Citrus Re Ltd. issued in aggregate of $277.5 million of principal-at-risk variable notes due April 2017 to fund the reinsurance trust account and its obligations to Heritage P&C under the reinsurance agreements. These notes were issued in three classes. The Class A notes provide $150 million of coverage for the layer immediately above the FHCF. The Class B notes provide $97.5 million of coverage, and the Class C notes provide $30 million of coverage. The Class B and Class C notes provide reinsurance coverage for a sliver of the catastrophe coverage that had previously been provided by the FHCF. The limit of coverage is fully collateralized by a reinsurance trust account for the benefit of Heritage P&C. The maturity date of the notes may be extended up to two additional years to satisfy claims for catastrophic events occurring during the three-year term of the reinsurance agreements. The Company has determined that, while Citrus Re Ltd. is a variable interest entity, the Company does not have any variable interests in Citrus Re Ltd. Accordingly, consolidation of or disclosures associated with Citrus Re Ltd. are not applicable.

•

CAT Bond Layer above the FHCF. Immediately above the FHCF layer is the coverage provided by the 2015 reinsurance agreement entered into with Citrus Re as described above in this footnote. The Citrus Re 2015 Class A notes provide up to $150 million of coverage immediately above the FHCF layer. Coverage immediately above the 2015 Class A notes is provided by the 2014 reinsurance agreements entered into with Citrus Re Ltd., as described above in this footnote. The first contract with Citrus Re Ltd. provides $150 million of coverage and the second contract provides an additional $50 million of coverage.

•

Aggregate Coverage. In addition to the layers described above, the Company has also purchased $125 million of aggregate reinsurance coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1.648 billion for a first catastrophic event. To the extent that this coverage is not fully exhausted in the first catastrophic event, provides coverage commencing at its reduced retention second and subsequent events and where underlying coverage has been previously exhausted. There is no reinstatement of the aggregate reinsurance coverage once exhausted, but it does provide coverage for multiple events.

For a first catastrophic event, the Company’s current reinsurance program provides coverage for $1.77 billion of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including its retention, and the Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of such amount. For subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. The Company has also purchased reinstatement premium protection insurance to provide an additional $440 million of coverage. The Company aggregate reinsurance layer also provides coverage for second and subsequent events to the extent not exhausted in prior events.

Property Per Risk Coverage

The Company also purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1 million per claim. The limit recoverable for an individual loss is $9 million and total limit for all losses is $27 million. There are two reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. In addition, the Company purchased facultative reinsurance in excess of $10 million for any commercial properties it insured that the total insured value exceeded $10 million.

Assumption Transactions and Assumed Premiums Written

On June 27, 2014, the Company assumed approximately $58.9 million (representing 33,000 policies in force) of annualized premiums from SSIC. At June 30, 2015, approximately 27,154 SSIC policies were in force representing approximately $45.3 million of annualized premium. The SSIC policies account for approximately 12% of the Company’s total policies in force as of June 30, 2015.

Prior to the SSIC transaction, substantially all of the Company’s policies had been obtained in connection with assumption transactions with Citizens, pursuant to which the Company recorded the assumed premiums written in the amount of the unearned premiums transferred to the Company. In connection with each assumption transaction, the Company assumes the responsibility of the primary writer of the risk through the expiration of the term of the policy.

The following table depicts written premiums, earned premiums and losses, showing the effects that the Company’s assumption transactions have on these components of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income:

Prepaid reinsurance premiums related to twenty-five and twenty-one reinsurers for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There were no amounts receivable with respect to reinsurers at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Thus, there were no concentrations of credit risk associated with reinsurance receivables as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The percentages of assumed premiums earned to net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were 45% and 53%, respectively.

NOTE 10. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES

The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date.

The table below summarizes the activity related to the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses:

The significant increase in the Company’s reserves for unpaid losses in 2015 from 2014 is primarily due to the increase in policy count.

The Company writes insurance in the state of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. Although the occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on our monthly or quarterly results, such an event is unlikely to be so material as to disrupt our overall normal operations. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter. The Company believes that the reserve for unpaid losses reasonably represents the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.

The Company’s losses incurred during the three and six months ended of fiscal year 2015 reflect a prior year deficiency/(redundancy) of $149,000 and ($4.4) million, respectively, due to changes in the Company’s estimate of ultimate losses on claims incurred in prior years not attributable to any specific trend or claims handling dynamic. The Company’s losses incurred related to the prior year reflect a reserve deficiency of $217,000 and $249,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 11. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATIONS

State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as our insurance subsidiary. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital; they restrict insurers’ ability to pay dividends; the Company-specified allowable investment types and investment mixes; and the Company’s subject insurers to assessments.

The Company’s insurance subsidiary, Heritage P&C, must file with the insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, net income and surplus as regards policyholders, which is called stockholder’s equity under GAAP. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s insurance subsidiary recorded statutory net income of $28.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company’s insurance subsidiary is domiciled in Florida, and the laws of that state require that the Company’s insurance subsidiary maintain capital and surplus equal to the greater of $15 million or 10% of its liabilities. The Company’s statutory capital surplus was $200.3 million and $172.7 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. State law also requires the Company’s insurance subsidiary to adhere to prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratios, with which the Company is in compliance.

In 2014, the Florida legislature passed Senate Bill 1308, which was signed into law by the Governor. Among other things, this bill incorporates the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) recommendations with regard to expansion of the regulation of insurers to include non-insurance entity affiliates. Specifically, the new law permits the FLOIR to examine affiliated entities within an insurance holding company system in order to ascertain the financial condition of the insurer. The law also provides for certain disclosures with regard to enterprise risk, which are satisfied by the provision of related information filed with the SEC. This legislation was designed to bolster regulation for insurer solvency and governance and became effective January 1, 2015.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period that it determines an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and it can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to its estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that the Company receives regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in the awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation. When determinable, the Company discloses the range of possible losses in excess of those accrued and for reasonably possible losses.

NOTE 13. OTHER LIABILITIES

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Other liabilities included approximately $9.1 million and $21.1 million, respectively, related to amounts owed to Citizens for policies assumed by the Company, where the policyholder subsequently opted-out of the assumption program.

Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably any dividends that the board of directors may declare out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.

Equity Issuances

As more fully disclosed in our previously referred to financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, there were, as of December 31, 2014, 29,794,960 shares of common stock outstanding and 30,600 warrants and 1,685,923 stock options outstanding, representing $188.3 million of additional paid-in capital. The following discloses the changes in our stockholders’ equity during 2015.

First Quarter 2015

In March 2015, the Company issued 12,500 shares of common stock upon the exercise of 12,500 stock options granted at an exercise price of $16.89 per share and received proceeds of $211,125.

NOTE 17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted the Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective on May 22, 2014. The Plan has authorized 2,981,737 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan for future grants.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 1,295,814 shares available for grant under the Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense under ASC 718 for its stock-based payments based on the fair value of the awards. The Company grants stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates the options are granted. The options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and vest primarily in equal annual installments over a range of one to five year periods following the date of grant for employee options. If a participant’s employment relationship ends, the participant’s vested awards will remain exercisable for the shorter of a period of 30 days or the period ending on the latest date on which such award could have been exercisable. The fair value of each option grant is separately estimated for each grant date. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the award and each vesting date. The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton multiple-option pricing valuation model (“Black-Scholes model”). The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.

Stock Options

On September 24, 2014, the Company granted 359,000 options to certain employees and directors. No stock options were granted in 2013 or 2012. These options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date, and vested March 15, 2015 with an expiration date of September 24, 2017. The fair value of each option grant, which was $2.70 per option granted in 2014, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.

On December 2, 2014, the Company granted 1,326,923 options to certain employees and directors. The employee options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date. Half of these options were immediately vested and the other half vested on April 30, 2015, and these options expire on December 2, 2017. The directors’ options were awarded with the strike price set at the fair market value at the grant date, and vest quarterly commencing on January 1, 2015 with an expiration date of December 2, 2017. The fair value of each option grant, which ranged from $3.07 to $3.54 per option granted in 2014, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.

The following table provides the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes model for options granted on September 24, 2014 and December 2, 2014. No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Company had approximately $50,000 of unrecognized stock compensation expense at June 30, 2015 related to unvested compensation, which the Company expects to recognize ratably over the period of 0.5 years. The Company recognized $398,000 and $1.8 million of compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

When we prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed within our 2014 Form 10K; we have made no material changes or additions with regard to such policies and estimates.

Recent Events

On July 16, 2015, the Company announced that its subsidiary Heritage Property & Casualty Company applied to expand into North Carolina, South Carolina, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

On June 5, 2015, the Company completed the placement of its 2015-2016 reinsurance program. The program is allocated amongst traditional reinsurers, catastrophe bonds issued by Citrus Re Ltd., and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF). The program provides approximately $1.76 billion in reinsurance protection for catastrophic losses, and exceeds requirements established by its rating agency, Demotech, Inc., and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

On June 9, 2015, the Company announced the expansion of its presence in Sunrise, Florida. The new office space located in Sunrise will house staff counsel and claim operations to better serve a growing customer base and represents the Company’s continued investment in the region.

In June 2015, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire certain assets of BRC Restoration Specialists, Inc., for the consideration of $6.0 million in cash and $2.0 million of restricted common stock of Heritage. The stock will be restricted for a period of six (6) months and be valued at the weighted average closing price for the previous ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the closing date. The definitive agreement closed on July 31, 2015.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

Gross premiums written

Gross premiums written increased from $99.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $135.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross premiums written was due to the renewal of a significant number of policies previously assumed from Citizens and SSIC and the growing number of new voluntary policies written. Of our gross premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 2015, $135.3 million represented direct premiums written and $0.8 million represented assumed premiums written. Personal residential business accounted for $109.9 million and commercial residential $25.4 million of the total gross premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Gross premiums earned

Gross premiums earned increased from $64.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $127.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our premiums in force as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were approximately $510.1 million and $316.7 million, respectively, resulting in the increase in gross premiums earned. Approximately $23.8 million of gross premiums earned during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was attributable to commercial residential policies, of which we had none during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Ceded premiums

Ceded premiums earned increased from $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $32.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in ceded premiums is primarily a result of the significant increase in the policies in force, partially offset by lower reinsurance costs due to favorable reinsurance market conditions.

On June 1, 2015, we placed new catastrophe reinsurance program for the 2015 hurricane season, as described in (Note 9) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Due to our significant growth, including the introduction of commercial residential business, we purchased approximately $1.8 billion of coverage for a first event and an additional $0.4 billion of

reinstatement coverage compared to approximately $1.0 billion of first event coverage and $0.2 billion of reinstatement coverage the prior year. The cost for the catastrophe coverage for the 2015 program was approximately $177.0 million compared to $100.0 million for the 2014 program. The cost of the annual reinsurance program is amortized over the twelve months beginning June 1. Accordingly, the reinsurance costs for the month of June are significantly higher than the first two months of the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as well as the first quarter of 2015. The same was true for 2014.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned increased from $44.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $94.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net premiums earned in the comparable periods is primarily attributable to the increase in the amount of premiums in force at June 30, 2015, including the introduction of commercial residential business during the second half of 2014, as compared to June 30, 2014, partially offset by increased ceded earned premium.

Net investment income

Net investment income, inclusive of net realized investment gains and losses, increased from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net investment income is due to the increase in invested assets from $156.9 million to $438.6 million at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Other revenue

Other revenue increased from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in other revenue between the comparable periods is primarily attributable to the policy fees generated by our growing portfolio of new and renewed policies, as well as the rental income received pursuant to non-cancelable leases for our commercial property in Clearwater, Florida that we purchased in April 2013.

Total revenue

Total revenue increased from $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $99.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in total revenue was due primarily to the growth in net premiums earned resulting from the significant increase in the amount of premiums in force at June 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2014.

Expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased from $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $33.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses resulted primarily from an increase in the number of policies in force between the respective periods, partially offset by a decrease in the loss ratio. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 include losses paid of $25.6 million and a $8.3 million increase in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including the addition of $5.2 million of IBNR reserves. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include losses paid of $12.4 million and a $6.8 million increase in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including the addition of $4.4 million of IBNR reserves. As of June 30, 2015, we reported $70.1 million in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses which included $39.5 million attributable to IBNR, or 56% of total reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs increased from $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to the significant increase in new and renewed policies, which have associated commissions and administration fees paid to outside agents and administrators at the time of policy issuance, premium taxes and inspection fees, none of which are associated with policies assumed from Citizens prior to their renewal.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in 2015 was due primarily to the increase in our bonus accrual as a result of the significant increase in year-to-date earnings in 2015.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes was $5.5 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015 was 33.2% and 35.65%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to our conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation on May 22, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering.

Net Income

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflect net income of $25.4 million, or $0.84 earnings per diluted common share, compared to net income of $9.6 million, or $0.39 earnings per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Ratios

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the ratios discussed below are more meaningful when viewed on a gross basis.


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	*2015*			*2014*			*2015*			*2014*
Ratios to Gross Premiums Earned:
Ceded premium ratio		25.4	%		30.9	%		22.4	%		30.8	%
Loss ratio		26.7	%		30.0	%		26.3	%		31.9	%
Expense ratio		19.0	%		19.0	%		19.2	%		18.9	%
Combined ratio		71.1	%		79.9	%		67.8	%		81.6	%

Ratios to Net Premiums Earned:
Loss ratio		35.8	%		43.4	%		33.8	%		46.0	%
Expense ratio		25.5	%		27.5	%		24.7	%		27.3	%
Combined ratio		61.3	%		71.0	%		58.5	%		73.4	%

Ceded premium ratio

Our ceded premium ratio decreased from 30.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. As mentioned above, the ceded premium associated with January through May related to the previous year’s reinsurance program, in which favorable reinsurance market conditions reduced the cost of the 2014 reinsurance program versus the 2013 reinsurance program. This resulted in favorable costs being realized in the first five months of 2015 compared to 2014. Additionally, the growth in premiums assumed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, in which we incurred no additional reinsurance costs until June 1, 2015, significantly improved the ratio.

Gross loss ratio

Our gross loss ratio decreased from 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 26.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the introduction of our commercial residential business, which has a lower loss ratio than personal residential.

Net loss ratio

Our net loss ratio decreased from 43.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 35.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the items mentioned in the previous paragraph and the improvement of the ceded premium ratio.

Gross expense ratio

Our gross expense ratio remained flat at 19.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 19.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net expense ratio

Our net expense ratio decreased modestly from 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 25.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to the improvement in the ceded premium ratio.

Combined ratio

Our combined ratio on a gross basis decreased from 79.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 71.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our combined ratio on a net basis decreased from 71.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 61.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The changes in our combined ratio, on both a gross and net basis, are for the reasons explained above.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

Gross premiums written

Gross premiums written increased from $168.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $269.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross premiums written was due to the renewal of a significant number of policies previously assumed from Citizens, the acquisition of policies from SSIC and the growing number of new voluntary policies written. Of our $269.6 million gross premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2015, $236.2 million represents direct premiums written and $33.3 million represents assumed premiums written. Personal residential business accounted for $213.1 million and commercial residential $56.4 million of the total gross premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Gross premiums earned

Gross premiums earned increased from $125.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $253.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our policies in force as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015 were approximately 171,000 and 221,700 respectively, and this increase had a favorable impact on our gross premiums earned.

Ceded premiums

Ceded premiums increased from $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $56.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in ceded premiums reflects the increase in policy count as noted above.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned increased from $86.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $196.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net premiums earned in the comparable periods is primarily attributable to the increase in the number of policies in force during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, partially offset by the increased ceded premiums earned.

Net investment income

Net investment income, inclusive of realized investment losses, increased from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net investment income is due to the significant increase in invested assets from $156.9 million to $438.6 million at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from policy growth.

Other revenue

Other revenue increased from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in other revenue between the comparable periods is primarily attributable to the policy fees generated by our growing portfolio of new and renewed policies. Also, the rental income received pursuant to non-cancelable leases for our commercial property in Clearwater, Florida purchased in April 2013 contributed to the increase.

Total revenue

Total revenue increased from $90.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $204.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in total revenue was due primarily to the growth in net premiums earned resulting from the significant increase in the number of policies in force throughout the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased from $39.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $66.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses resulted primarily from an increase in the number of policies in force between the respective periods as well as being responsive to development trends during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 include losses paid of $42.7 million and a $18.7 million increase in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including the addition of $9.4 million of IBNR reserves. As of June 30, 2015, we reported $70.1 million in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses which included $39.5 million attributable to IBNR, or 56% of total reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs increased from $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to the significant increase in new and renewal policies, which have associated commissions paid to outside agents at the time of policy issuance, policy administration fees paid to a third-party administrator at the time of policy issuance, premium taxes and inspection fees, none of which are associated with policies assumed from Citizens prior to their renewal.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased from $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due primarily to the increase in our bonus accrual as a result of the significant increase in year-to-date earnings in 2015.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes was $9.5 million and $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015 was 35.2% and 37.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to our conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation on May 22, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering.

Net income

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflect net income of $55.5 million, or $1.84 earnings per diluted common share, compared to net income of $17.5 million, or $0.80 earnings per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Ratios

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the ratios discussed below are more meaningful when viewed on a gross basis.

Ceded premium ratio

Our ceded premium ratio decreased from 30.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 22.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As mentioned above, the ceded premium associated with January through May related to the previous year’s reinsurance program, in which favorable reinsurance market conditions reduced the cost of the 2014 reinsurance program versus the 2013 reinsurance program. This resulted in favorable costs being realized in the first five months of 2015 compared to 2014. Additionally, the growth in premiums assumed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, in which we incurred no additional reinsurance costs until June 1, 2015, significantly improved the ratio.

Gross loss ratio

Our gross loss ratio decreased from 31.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the introduction of our commercial residential business, which has a lower loss ratio than personal residential.

Net loss ratio

Our net loss ratio decreased from 46.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 33.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the items mentioned in the previous paragraph and the improvement of the ceded premium ratio.

Gross expense ratio

Our gross expense ratio increased modestly from 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net expense ratio

Our net expense ratio decreased from 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 24.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the improvement in the ceded premium ratio.

Combined ratio

Our combined ratio on a gross basis decreased from 81.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 67.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our combined ratio on a net basis decreased from 73.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 58.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, we had $131.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consisted of cash and money market accounts. We intend to hold substantial cash balances during hurricane season to meet seasonal liquidity needs and the collateral requirements of Osprey Re Ltd, our captive reinsurance company described below. We also had $12.8 million in restricted cash to meet our contractual obligations related to the Catastrophe bonds issued by Citrus Re Ltd.

Osprey Re Ltd. is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from Heritage P&C, less amounts collateralized through a letter of credit. As of June 30, 2015, $25 million was held in Osprey’s trust account and an additional $10 million was collateralized with a letter of credit. At June 30, 2015, Osprey Re Ltd’s total reinsurance coverage provided to Heritage P&C was $35 million.

Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay Heritage P&C’s claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as 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.

We believe our current capital resources, together with cash provided from our operations, will be sufficient to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements. We cannot provide assurance, however, that such will be the case in the future.

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(28,755	)	$	117,057		$	(145,812	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in cash provided by operating activities reflects the growth of premiums in force, our improved ceded premium ratio and the timing of reinsurance payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $116.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to investment of cash attributable with the growth in our policy count.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $101.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities relates to the $78.6 million in net proceeds generated during the second quarter of 2014, by our initial public offering and $22.5 million in proceeds from exercise of stock options and warrants, while the company received $2.9 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Seasonality of our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal as hurricanes typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 each year. With our reinsurance program effective on June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes to reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1 of each year, subject to certain adjustments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We obtained a $10 million irrevocable letter of credit from a financial institution to secure Osprey’s obligations arising from our reinsurance program. We collateralized this letter of credit facility with otherwise unencumbered real estate. The letter of credit terminates on May 31, 2016.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an emerging growth company we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our systems of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until we no longer meet the requirements of being an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our investment portfolios at June 30, 2015 included fixed maturity and equity securities, the purposes of which are not for trading or speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet policyholder 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. Investment securities are managed by a group of nationally recognized asset managers and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our board of directors. Our investment portfolios are primarily exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. We classify our fixed maturity and equity 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.

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 June 30, 2015 (in thousands):


Hypothetical Change in Interest rates	Estimated Fair Value After Change		Change In Estimated Fair Value			Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Fair Value
300 basis point increase	$	349,679	$	(51,851	)		(15	)%
200 basis point increase	$	366,962	$	(34,567	)		(9	)%
100 basis point increase	$	384,246	$	(17,283	)		(4	)%
100 basis point decrease	$	418,532	$	17,003			4	%
200 basis point decrease	$	432,714	$	31,185			7	%
300 basis point decrease	$	441,836	$	40,307			9	%

Credit Risk

Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer of our fixed maturities. We mitigate this risk by investing in fixed maturities that are generally investment grade and by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or market sector.

The following table presents the composition of our fixed maturity portfolio by rating at June 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at June 30, 2015 consists of common stocks and redeemable and non-redeemable preferred stocks. We may incur potential losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage this risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation techniques.

	Estimated Fair Value		% of Total Estimated Fair value
Stocks by sector:
Financial	$	4,733		15	%

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported in our Annual Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2014, filed on March 18, 2015, we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to, among other things, accounting for stock-based compensation, equity transactions and income taxes. With the oversight of senior management, we have taken steps to remediate the underlying causes of these material weaknesses, primarily through hiring additional finance personnel and additional review of certain more complex accounting matters by third party consultants. We have concluded that the steps we have taken to remediate the control weaknesses have been successful.

Except for the remediation efforts described herein, there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 flow.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 18, 2015 set forth information relating to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
