1. Organization and Business

HC2 Holdings, Inc. ("HC2" and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "we" and "our") is a diversified holding company which seeks to acquire and grow attractive businesses that we believe can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns. While the Company generally intends to acquire controlling equity interests in its operating subsidiaries, the Company may invest to a limited extent in a variety of debt instruments or noncontrolling equity interest positions. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE under the symbol "HCHC".

The Company currently has eight reportable segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise - Construction, Marine Services, Energy, Telecommunications, Insurance, Life Sciences, Broadcasting, and Other, which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications and combinations had no effect on previously reported net loss attributable to controlling interest or accumulated deficit. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2018, as amended by amendment no.1, filed on April 2, 2018 (collectively, "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions used.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

The Company’s 2017 Form 10-K includes discussion of significant recent accounting pronouncements that either have impacted or may impact our financial statements in the future. The following discussion provides information about recently adopted and recently issued or changed accounting guidance (applicable to the Company ) that have occurred since the Company filed its 2017 Form 10-K. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted the accounting pronouncements described below.

Statement of Cash Flows

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 2016-18, Restricted Cash - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This guidance requires entities to show the changes in the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. This standard was applied retrospectively, which resulted in the recast of the prior reporting period in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to the amounts reported within our condensed consolidated balance sheet is included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2018		June 30, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	$	97,885	$	115,371
Restricted cash included in other assets	968		498
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	98,853	$	115,869

Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	112,304	$	143,130
Restricted cash included in other assets	4,551		495
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	116,855	$	143,625

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update provides that equity investments with readily determinable values be measured at fair value and changes in the fair value flow through net income. These changes historically have run through other comprehensive income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values have the option to be measured at fair value or at cost, adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. Changes in either method are also recognized in net income. The standard requires a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators at each reporting period. For financial liabilities, entities that elect the fair value option must recognize the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than net income. Lastly, regarding deferred tax assets, the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset will need to be assessed related to available-for-sale debt securities. This standard was adopted prospectively as of January 1, 2018 and resulted in a $3.3 million cumulative effect adjustment credit to retained earnings related to the following investments:



Equity securities which were previously classified as available-for-sale	$	1,660
Equity securities which were previously accounted for under the cost method	1,635
Total	$	3,295

See Note 5. Investments and Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further details.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606"). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Under the new guidance, 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. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, an update on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which includes amendments for enhanced clarification of the guidance. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes amendments of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the technical corrections and improvements project. Lastly, in February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets to clarify the scope of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and provide guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This ASU clarifies that the unit of account under ASU 610-20 is each distinct nonfinancial or in substance nonfinancial asset and that a financial asset that meets the definition of an "in substance nonfinancial asset" is within the scope of ASC 610-20. This ASU eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate and removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model. The ASUs described above are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. See Note 3. Revenue for further details.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Reporting Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate or law in U.S. Tax Reform is recognized. Early adoption is permitted. Current GAAP guidance requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax liabilities or assets to be included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even if the related income tax effects were originally charged or credited directly to AOCI. The new guidance allows a reclassification of AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. Tax Reform. Also, the new guidance requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and expects minimal impact.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has started evaluating its lease arrangements to determine the impact of this amendment on the financial statements. The evaluation includes an extensive review of the leases, which are primarily related to our vessels and office space. Additionally, the Company has begun tracking separate accounting records for leases entered into starting January 1, 2017 under the new guidance to facilitate future implementation. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) - Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2018-01 are the same as ASU 2016-02. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact this standard will have on its financial statements. While not yet quantified, the Company expects a material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from recognizing additional assets and liabilities of operating leases upon adoption. The actual increase in assets and liabilities will depend on the volume and terms of leases in place at the time of adoption. The Company plans to elect the optional practical expedient to retain the current classification of leases, and therefore, does not anticipate a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. The Company also expects that adoption of the new standard will require changes to internal controls over financial reporting.

Subsequent Events

ASC 855, Subsequent Events ("ASC 855"), establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 requires HC2 to evaluate events that occur after the balance date as of which HC2's financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. HC2 has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. See Note 22. Subsequent Events for the summary of the subsequent events.

3. Revenue

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that aligns revenue recognition with the timing of when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with ASC 606:

Identify the contract with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when: (a) the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (b) the rights of the parties can be identified, (c) payment terms can be identified, (d) the arrangement has commercial substance, and (e) collectibility of consideration is probable. Judgment is required when determining if the contractual criteria are met, specifically in the earlier stages of a project when a formally executed contract may not yet exist. In these situations, the Company evaluates all relevant facts and circumstances, including the existence of other forms of documentation or historical experience with our customers that may indicate a contractual agreement is in place and revenue should be recognized. In determining if the collectibility of consideration is probable, the Company considers the customer’s ability and intention to pay such consideration through an evaluation of several factors, including an assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer and our prior collection history with such customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract and identifies, as a separate performance obligation, each distinct promise to transfer goods or services to the customer. The identified performance obligations represent the “unit of account” for purposes of determining revenue recognition. In order to properly identify separate performance obligations, the Company applies judgment in determining whether each good or service provided is: (a) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

In addition, when assessing performance obligations within a contract, the Company considers the warranty provisions included within such contract. To the extent the warranty terms provide the customer with an additional service, other than assurance that the promised good or service complies with agreed upon specifications, such warranty is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In determining whether a warranty provides an additional service, the Company considers each warranty provision in comparison to warranty terms which are standard in the industry.

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to our customers. The consideration promised within a contract may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. To the extent the performance obligation includes variable consideration, including contract bonuses and penalties that can either increase or decrease the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price utilizing one of two prescribed methods, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled. Such methods include: (a) the expected value method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the sum of probability weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts, and (b) the most likely amount method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts. When applying these methods, the Company considers all information that is reasonably available, including historical, current and estimates of future performance.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This threshold is referred to as the variable consideration constraint. In assessing whether to apply the variable consideration constraint, the Company considers if factors exist that could increase the likelihood or the magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue, including, but not limited to, whether: (a) the amount of consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence, such as the actions of third parties, (b) the uncertainty surrounding the amount of consideration is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time, (c) the Company’s experience with similar types of contracts is limited or that experience has limited predictive value, (d) the Company has a practice of either offering a broad range of price concessions or changing the payment terms and conditions of similar contracts in similar circumstances, and (e) the contract has a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts.

Pending change orders represent one of the most common forms of variable consideration included within contract value and typically represent contract modifications for which a change in scope has been authorized or acknowledged by our customer, but the final adjustment to contract price is yet to be negotiated. In estimating the transaction price for pending change orders, the Company considers all relevant facts, including documented correspondence with the customer regarding acknowledgment and/or agreement with the modification, as well as historical experience with the customer or similar contractual circumstances. Based upon this assessment, the Company estimates the transaction price, including whether the variable consideration constraint should be applied.

Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation would have been sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If the standalone selling price is not observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account all available information such as market conditions and internal pricing guidelines. In certain circumstances, the standalone selling price is determined using an expected profit margin on anticipated costs related to the performance obligation.

Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied

The Company recognizes revenue at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to its customers. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control. The Company can transfer control of a good or service and satisfy its performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following three criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as we perform, (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For our performance obligations satisfied over time, we recognize revenue by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion can be either an input method or an output method and requires judgment based on the nature of the goods or services to be provided.

Construction Segment

DBMG performs its services primarily under fixed-price contracts and recognizes revenue over time using the input method to measure progress for its projects. The nature of the projects does not provide measurable value to the customer over time and control does not transfer to the customer at discrete points in time. The customer receives value over the term of the project based on the amount of work that has been completed towards the delivery of the completed project. The most reliable measure of progress is the cost incurred towards delivery of the completed project. Therefore, the input method provides the most reliable method to measure progress. Revenue recognition begins when work has commenced. Costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance, subcontractor costs, indirect labor, and fabrication plant overhead costs, which are charged to contract costs as incurred. Revenues relating to changes in the scope of a contract are recognized when DBMG and customer or general contractor have agreed on both the scope and price of changes, the work has commenced, it is probable that the costs of the changes will be recovered and that realization of revenue exceeding the costs is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Revisions in estimates during the course of contract work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period a loss on a contract becomes determinable.

Construction contracts with customers generally provide that billings are to be made monthly in amounts which are commensurate with the extent of performance under the contracts. Contract receivables arise principally from the balance of amounts due on progress billings on jobs under construction. Retentions on contract receivables are amounts due on progress billings, which are withheld until the completed project has been accepted by the customer.

Disaggregation of Revenues

DBMG's revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide fabrication and erection services to its customers. Contracts represent majority of the revenue of the Construction segment and are generally recognized over time. A majority of contracts are domestic, fixed priced, and are in excess of one year. Disaggregation of the Construction segment, by market or type of customer, is used to evaluate its financial performance.

The following table disaggregates DBMG's revenue by market (in thousands):

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our long-term construction projects when revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceed the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements, as well as our contracts to perform turnaround services within the United States industrial services segment, are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Also included in contract assets are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders or modifications in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Contract assets are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Contract assets	$	32,871		$	25,676
Contract liabilities	$	(46,991	)	$	(29,862	)

The change in contract assets is a result of the recording of $30.3 million of costs in excess of billings driven by new commercial projects, offset by $23.1 million of costs in excess of billings transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized at the beginning of the period. The change in contract liabilities is a results of periodic billing in excess of costs of $46.0 million driven largely by new commercial projects, offset by revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period $28.9 million.

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations	$	588,401	$	68,000	$	656,401

DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, otherwise referred to as backlog, increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as it performs work and recognizes revenue on existing contracts. DBMG includes a project within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. DBMG's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total transaction price can be made. DBMG expects to recognize this revenue over the next twenty-four months.

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts. Although many of DBMG's contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of its customers, in accordance with industry practice, DBMG does not limit the amount of unrecognized revenue included within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations due to the inherent substantial economic penalty that would be incurred by its customers upon cancellation.

Marine Services Segment

GMSL generally generates revenue by providing maintenance services for subsea telecommunications cabling, installing subsea cables, providing installation, maintenance and repair of fiber optic communication and power infrastructure to offshore oil and gas platforms, and installing inter-array power cables for use in offshore wind farms.

Telecommunication - Maintenance & Installation

GMSL performs its services within telecommunication market primarily under fixed-price contracts and recognizes revenue over time using the input method to measure progress for its projects. The nature of the projects does not provide measurable value to the customer over time and control does not transfer to the customer at discrete points in time. The customer receives value over the term of the project based on the amount of work that has been completed towards the delivery of the completed project. Depending on the project, the most reliable measure of progress is either the cost incurred or time elapsed towards delivery of the completed project. Therefore, the input method provides the most reliable method to measure progress. Revenue recognition begins when work has commenced. Costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance, indirect labor, and overhead costs, which are charged to contract costs as incurred. Revisions in estimates during the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

course of contract work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period a loss on a contract becomes determinable.

Maintenance revenues within this market are attributable to standby vessels and the provision of cable storage depots for repair of fiber optic telecommunications cables in defined geographic zones, and its maintenance business is provided through contracts with consortia of approximately 60 global telecommunications providers. These contracts are generally five to seven years long.

Installation revenues within this market are generated through installation of cable systems including route planning, mapping, route engineering, cable laying, and trenching and burial. GMSL’s installation business is project-based with contracts typically lasting one to five months.

Power - Operations, Maintenance & Construction Support

Majority of revenues within this market are generated through the provision of crew transfer vessels and turbine technicians on the maintenance of offshore windfarms. Services are provided at agreed day rates and are recognized as revenues at the point in time at which the performance obligations are met. Additional revenues are generated through the provision of approved safety training courses to personnel operating on offshore wind turbines. Courses are supplied at agreed rates and recognized at the point in time at which the courses are provided.

Power - Cable Installation & Repair

Installation and repair revenues within this market are attributable to the provision of engineering solutions, which includes the charter of cable laying vessels and related subsea assets. These contracts are either charged at agreed day rates and are recognized as revenues at the point in time at which the performance obligations are met, or are under fixed-price contracts, in which case revenue is recognized over time using the input method to measure progress for its projects.

Disaggregation of Revenues

GMSL's revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide maintenance and installation services to its customers. Contracts represent a majority of revenues at the Marine Services segment of which approximately 73% and 72% we recognized over time during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

GMSL's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, otherwise referred to as backlog, increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as it performs work and recognizes revenue on existing contracts. GMSL includes a project within its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. GMSL's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of total transaction price can be made.

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations consist predominantly from projects within telecommunication maintenance market. These revenues are generated through long-term contracts for the provision of vessels and cable depots in maintaining and repairing subsea telecoms cables around the globe. Revenues are recognized over time to reflect both the duration that the vessels and depots are provided on standby duties and the amount of work that has been completed.

Energy Segment

ANG's revenues are principally derived from sales of compressed natural gas. ANG recognizes revenue from the sale of natural gas fuel primarily at the time the fuel is dispensed.

As a result of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, signed into law on February 9, 2018, all Alternative Fuel Tax Credit ("AFETC") revenue for vehicle fuel ANG sold in 2017 was collected in the second quarter of 2018. Net revenue after customer rebates for such credits for 2017 were $2.6 million, which was recognized during the second quarter of 2018, the period in which the credit became available.

Telecommunications Segment

ICS operates an extensive network of direct routes and offers premium voice communication services for carrying a mix of business, residential and carrier long-distance traffic, data and Internet traffic. Customers may have a bilateral relationship with ICS, meaning they have both a customer and vendor relationship with ICS. In these cases, ICS sells the customer access to the ICS network but also purchases access to the customer’s network.

Net revenue is derived from carrying business, residential and carrier long-distance traffic, and data traffic. For certain voice services, net revenue is earned based on the number of minutes during a call, and is recorded upon completion of a call. Completed calls are billable activity while incomplete calls are non-billable. Incomplete calls may occur as a result of technical issues or because the customer’s credit limit was exceeded and thus the customer routing of traffic was prevented.

Revenue for a period is calculated from information received through ICS’s network switches, such as minutes and market rates. Customized software has been designed to track the information from the switch and analyze the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides ICS with the ability to perform a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period.

Net revenue represents gross revenue, net of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, service credits and service adjustments. Cost of revenue includes network costs that consist of access, transport and termination costs.

Broadcasting Segment

Broadcasting advertising revenue is generated primarily from the sale of television airtime for programs or advertisements. Broadcasting advertising revenue is recognized when the program or advertisement is broadcast. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. The broadcasting advertising contracts are generally short-term in nature.

Retransmission consent revenue consists of payments received from cable, satellite and other multiple video program distribution systems for their retransmission of our broadcast signals and generally based on per subscriber basis. Retransmission consent revenue is recognized as earned over the life of the retransmission consent contract and varies from month to month generally based on the average number of subscribers.

Local Marketing Agreements (“LMAs”) revenue is generated primarily from the sale of television airtime in return for a fixed fee or additional commission on the related sales incurred by the third party. In a typical LMA, the licensee of a station makes available, for a fee, airtime on its station to a party which supplies content to be broadcast during that airtime and collects revenue from advertising aired during such content. LMA revenue is recognized over the life of the contract, when the program is broadcast. The LMA fees that we charge can be fixed or commission-based and the LMA contracts that we enter into are generally short-term in nature.

Retransmission and LMA commission based revenues are usage/sales-based and recognized as revenue when the subsequent usage occurs. Transaction prices are based on the contract terms, with no material judgements or estimates.

ADU balance was $1.3 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Broadcasting measures the potential obligation based on Nielsen ratings and cost per view, and is subsequently made whole in the following period.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations consisted of $8.8 million of advertising revenues of which $3.5 million is expected to be recognized within one year and $5.3 million is expected to be recognized within five years.

Other Segment

Our Other segment's revenues are driven by 704Games. 704Games derives revenue principally from sales of software games and related content and services on (1) consoles and (2) mobile devices. Console revenue includes revenue associated with the sale of 704Games' software games, whether delivered via a physical disc (e.g., packaged goods) or via the Internet (full-game downloads). Console revenue also includes in game

purchases within the Xbox and PlayStation online stores (PlayStation, Xbox, or Apple/Google play). Mobile revenue includes revenue from 704Games' free to download (“freemium”) mobile game that requires 704Games' hosting support for micro-transactions (e.g. purchases for in game use). Sales are recognized as revenues at the point in time at which control had passed to the customer, either when physical discs are received by distributors or when digital goods are purchased.

704Games reduces revenue for estimated price reductions which may occur with its distributors and retailers. Price reductions represent 704Games' practice to provide a credit allowance to lower the wholesale price on a particular product to incentivize end consumer purchases. The amount of the price reduction is generally the difference between the original wholesale price and the reduced wholesale price.

The price protection reserve for estimated price reductions are recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period that the revenue is recognized. This reserve is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net revenues, and is calculated based on historical price concessions, estimated future price concessions and information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. 704Games' price protection reserves are classified as liabilities and included within Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities. 704Games continually monitors current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the sales allowance is fairly stated.

The determination of whether unrealized losses are "other-than-temporary" requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors considered and resources used by management include (i) whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis, (iii) cash flow projections received from independent sources, (iv) historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings and news releases, (v) near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry, (vi) third party research and communications with industry specialists, (vii) financial models and forecasts, (viii) the continuity of dividend payments, maintenance of investment grade ratings and hybrid nature of certain investments, (ix) discussions with issuer management, and (x) ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company analyzes its MBS for OTTI each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan-to-collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data.

The Company believes it will recover its cost basis in the non-impaired securities with unrealized losses and that the Company has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value. The Company neither intends to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2018. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity and equity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines.

The following tables present the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses for the 245 and 126 fixed maturity and equity securities held by the Company that have estimated fair values below amortized cost as of each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018, investment grade fixed maturity securities (as determined by nationally recognized rating agencies) represented approximately 54.7% of the gross unrealized loss and 61.0% of the fair value. As of December 31, 2017, investment grade fixed maturity securities represented approximately 7.3% of the gross unrealized loss and 10.4% of the fair value. Certain risks are inherent in connection with fixed maturity securities, including loss upon default, price volatility in reaction to changes in interest rates, and general market factors and risks associated with reinvestment of proceeds due to prepayments or redemptions in a period of declining interest rates.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3, or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. The Company transferred $5.1 million of equity securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting the level of market activity in these instruments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources impacts the Company's ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3. The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer into Level 3 of $12.3 million primarily related to structured securities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer out of Level 3 of $79.5 million primarily related to structured securities during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The methods and assumptions the Company uses to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Fixed Maturity Securities. The fair values of the Company’s publicly-traded fixed maturity securities are generally based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Prices from pricing services are sourced from multiple vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. In some cases, the Company receives prices from multiple pricing services for each security, but ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type. Consistent with the fair value hierarchy described above, securities with validated quotes from pricing services are generally reflected within Level 2, as they are primarily based on observable pricing for similar assets and/or other market observable inputs.

If the Company ultimately concludes that pricing information received from the independent pricing service is not reflective of market activity, non-binding broker quotes are used, if available. If the Company concludes the values from both pricing services and brokers are not reflective of market activity, it may override the information from the pricing service or broker with an internally developed valuation, however, this occurs infrequently. Internally developed valuations or non-binding broker quotes are also used to determine fair value in circumstances where vendor pricing is not available. These estimates may use significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Pricing service overrides, internally developed valuations and non-binding broker quotes are generally based on significant unobservable inputs and are reflected as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

The inputs used in the valuation of corporate and government securities include, but are not limited to, standard market observable inputs which are derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

For structured securities, valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans.

When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation techniques for determining the estimated fair value of certain types of securities that trade infrequently, and therefore have little or no price transparency, rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value but that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. These unobservable inputs are sometimes based in large part on management judgment or estimation, and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and are believed to be consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities.

The fair values of private placement securities are primarily determined using a discounted cash flow model. In certain cases, these models primarily use observable inputs with a discount rate based upon the average of spread surveys collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions, taking into account, among other factors, the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Generally, these securities have been reflected within Level 3. For certain private fixed maturities, the discounted cash flow model may also incorporate significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the security. To the extent management determines that such unobservable inputs are not significant to the price of a security, a Level 2 classification is made. Otherwise, a Level 3 classification is used.

Equity Securities. The balance consists principally of common and preferred stock of publicly and privately traded companies. The fair values of publicly traded equity securities are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of preferred equity securities, for which quoted market prices are not readily available, are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services and these securities are generally classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of common stock of privately held companies was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values and was classified as Level 3.

Cash Equivalents. The balance consists of money market instruments, which are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1. Various time deposits carried as cash equivalents are not measured at estimated fair value and, therefore, are excluded from the tables presented.

Derivatives. The balance consists of common stock purchase warrants and call options. The fair values of the call options are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Depending on the terms, the common stock warrants were valued using either Black-Scholes analysis or Monte Carlo Simulation. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values. As such, the common stock purchase warrants were classified as Level 3.

Warrant Liability. The balance represents warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the Insurance business and recorded within other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation because the adjustments for exercise price and warrant shares represent path dependent features; the exercise price from comparable periods needs to be known to determine whether a subsequent sale of shares occurs at a price that is lower than the current exercise price. The analysis entails a Geometric Brownian Motion based simulation of 100 unique price paths of the Company's stock for each combination of assumptions. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility, and a range of assumptions regarding a possibility of an equity capital raise each year and the expected size of future equity capital raises. The present value of a given simulated scenario was based on intrinsic value at expiration discounted to the valuation date, taking into account any adjustments to the exercise price or warrant shares issuable. The average present value across all 100 independent price paths represents the estimate of fair value for each combination of assumptions. Therefore, the warrant liability was classified as Level 3.

Internally developed fair values of Level 3 assets represent less than 1% of the Company’s total assets. Any justifiable changes in unobservable inputs used to determine internally developed fair values would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which were not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The table excludes carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings, accounts payable, accrued expenses, billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity (in thousands):

⁽²⁾ Excludes certain lease obligations accounted for under ASC 840, Leases.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate. The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is estimated by discounting cash flows, both principal and interest, using current interest rates for mortgage loans with similar credit ratings and similar remaining maturities. As such, inputs include current treasury yields and spreads, which are based on the credit rating and average life of the loan, corresponding to the market spreads. The valuation of mortgage loans on real estate is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans. The policy loans are reported at the unpaid principal balance and carry a fixed interest rate. The Company determined that the carrying value approximates fair value because (i) policy loans present no credit risk as the amount of the loan cannot exceed the obligation due upon the death of the insured or surrender of the underlying policy; (ii) there is no active market for policy loans (i.e., there is no commonly available exit price to determine the fair value of policy loans in the open market); (iii) policy loans are intricately linked to the underlying policy liability and, in many cases, policy loan balances are recovered through offsetting the loan balance against the benefits paid under the policy; and (iv) policy loans can be repaid by policyholders at any time, and this prepayment uncertainty reduces the potential impact of a difference between amortized cost (carrying value) and fair value. The valuation of policy loans is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Annuity Benefits Accumulated. The fair value of annuity benefits was determined using the surrender values of the annuities and classified as Level 3.

Long-term Obligations. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was determined using Bloomberg Valuation Service BVAL. The methodology combines direct market observations from contributed sources with quantitative pricing models to generate evaluated prices and classified as Level 2.

Through the sale of BeneVir in 2018, $6.4 million of developed technology were sold to a third party. See Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions, for additional detail regarding our acquisitions and dispositions.

The Broadcasting segment strategically acquires assets across the United States, which results in the recording of FCC licenses. As long as the Company acts within the requirements and constraints of the regulatory authorities, the renewal and extension of these licenses is reasonably certain at minimal costs. Accordingly we have concluded that the acquired FCC licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

The company experienced an unfavorable claims reserve development of $2.6 million and a favorable claims reserve development of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The reserve deficiency is primarily attributed to policyholder behavior, where claimants were delaying the reporting of their claims more than recent history. The reserve sufficiency is being driven by claim terminations as the result of policyholder deaths that released significant reserves which is attributable to the normal volatility in the reserves, due to the number of claims that are currently open.

⁽¹⁾ The DBMG Facility was amended on July 24, 2018, increasing the availability of the borrowing base allowing DBMG to borrow an additional $10.0 million of the $70.0 million total line and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The temporary borrowing base increase and related interest expires on October 23, 2018.

Non-operating corporate

On May 7, 2018, the Company closed on $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a price of 102.0% of principal amount, which resulted in a premium of $2.2 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to refinance the outstanding bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") at our Broadcasting segment.

Construction

DBMG Credit Facilities

DBMG has a Credit and Security Agreement ("DBMG Facility") with Wells Fargo Credit, Inc. ("Wells Fargo"). Under the initial terms of the agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to advance up to a maximum amount of $50.0 million to DBMG, including up to $14.5 million of letters of credit (the "Revolving Line"). The Revolving Line has a floating interest rate based on LIBOR plus 2.0%, requires monthly interest payments, and matures in April 2019.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

The DBMG Facility allows for the issuance by DBMG of additional loans in the form of notes of up to $10.0 million ("Real Estate Term Advance"), at LIBOR plus 2.5% and the issuance of a note payable of up to $15.0 million, ("Real Estate Term Advance 2") at LIBOR plus 2.5%, each as separate tranches of debt under the DBMG Facility.

The DBMG Facility was amended effective April 5, 2018, modifying the Revolving Line by increasing the maximum amount of the advance to $70.0 million, modifying the floating interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.5% and extending the maturity date through March 31, 2023. The amendment also created a $17.0 million long-term tranche under the $70.0 million Revolving Line with a maturity date of May 31, 2025. Additionally, The Real Estate Term Advance and Real Estate Advance 2 interest rates were modified to LIBOR plus 2.25% with a maturity date of April 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2018, DBMG had drawn $41.7 million under the Revolving Line and had $8.8 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the DBMG Facility, of which zero has been drawn. At June 30, 2018 there was $2.4 million outstanding under the Real Estate Term Advance and $2.9 million of borrowings outstanding under the Real Estate Term Advance 2.

Marine Services

On April 4, 2018, GMSL entered into a 7.49% fixed interest only loan, due April 3, 2019, with Shawbrook Bank Limited for £7.2 million, or approximately $9.4 million, the net proceeds used to fund capital expenditures, being mainly upgrades to cable ships, and working capital requirements on installation contracts.

Broadcasting

On February 4, 2018, the Broadcasting segment entered into a First Amendment to the $75.0 million Bridge Loan to finance acquisitions in the LPTV distribution market. The First Amendment to the Bridge Loan extends the agreement to add an additional $27.0 million in principal borrowing capacity to the existing credit agreement.

On February 6, 2018, the Broadcasting segment borrowed $42.0 million in principal amount of the Bridge Loan at LIBOR plus applicable margin, the net proceeds used to finance certain acquisitions, to pay fees, costs and expenses relating to the Bridge Loan, and for general corporate purposes.

The Bridge Loan of $102.0 million was repaid as part of the May 7, 2018 corporate financing transaction. As part of the transaction, the Broadcasting segment recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million, which was recorded in Other income (expenses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

14. Income Taxes

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its 2018 interim tax provision.

Income tax expense (benefit) was an expense of $9.5 million and a benefit of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018 relates primarily to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. The income tax expense generated from the sale of BeneVir will be offset by tax attributes for which a valuation allowance had been recorded. Therefore, there is no net income tax expense recorded in the income statement for the sale. The income tax benefit recorded for three months ended June 30, 2017 relates primarily to the appreciation of investments and the mix of income and losses by taxpaying entities, including the Insurance segment.

Income tax was an expense of $11.1 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. The income tax expense generated from the sale of BeneVir will be offset by tax attributes for which a valuation allowance had been recorded. Therefore, there is no net income tax expense recorded in the income statement for the sale. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by certain businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The income tax expense recorded for June 30, 2017 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration.

As a result of the enactment of Public Law 115-97, known informally as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") on December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides that the measurement period is complete when a company’s accounting is complete, but should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company has not recorded any measurement period adjustments to the provisional estimate recorded at December 31, 2017 for the TCJA. The accounting for the impact of the TCJA is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2018.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

For the calendar year beginning January 1, 2018, we are subject to several provisions of the TCJA including computations under Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI"), Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), and the interest limitation rules, and we included the impact of each of these provisions in our overall tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company will continue to refine these calculations as we gather additional information and additional interpretive guidance is issued.

NOL Limitation

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a U.S. net operating loss carryforward available to reduce future taxable income in the amount of $100.4 million, of which $77.8 million is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company expects to utilize a portion of the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards in 2018 as a result of the sale of BeneVir. Additionally, the Company has $108.3 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards from its subsidiaries that do not qualify to be included in the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2017 remain open for examination.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for its Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

CGI Producer Litigation

On November 28, 2016, CGI, a subsidiary of the Company, Great American Financial Resource, Inc. ("GAFRI"), American Financial Group, Inc., and CIGNA Corporation were served with a putative class action complaint filed by John Fastrich and Universal Investment Services, Inc. in The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska alleging breach of contract, tortious interference with contract and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs contend that they were agents of record under various CGI policies and that CGI allegedly instructed policyholders to switch to other CGI products and caused the plaintiffs to lose commissions, renewals, and overrides on policies that were replaced. The complaint also alleges breach of contract claims relating to allegedly unpaid commissions related to premium rate increases implemented on certain long-term care insurance policies. Finally, the complaint alleges breach of contract claims related to vesting of commissions. On August 21, 2017 the Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ tortious interference with contract claim. CGI believes that the remaining allegations and claims set forth in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

The case was set for voluntary mediation, which occurred on January 26, 2018. The Court stayed discovery pending the outcome of the mediation. On February 12, 2018, the parties notified the Court that mediation did not resolve the case and that the parties’ discussions regarding a possible settlement of the action were still ongoing. The Court held a status conference on March 22, 2018, during which the parties informed the Court that settlement negotiations remain ongoing. Nonetheless, the Court entered a scheduling order setting the case for trial during the week of October 15, 2019. Meanwhile, the parties’ continued settlement negotiations led to a tentative settlement. The parties are in the process of preparing a formal settlement agreement, which will be subject to Court approval.

Further, the Company and CGI are seeking defense costs and indemnification for plaintiffs’ claims from GAFRI and Continental General Corporation ("CGC") under the terms of an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") related to the Company’s acquisition of CGI in December 2015. GAFRI and CGC rejected CGI’s demand for defense and indemnification and, on January 18, 2017, the Company and CGI filed a Complaint against GAFRI and CGC in the Superior Court of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment to enforce their indemnification rights under the SPA. On February 23, 2017, GAFRI answered CGI’s complaint, denying the allegations. The dispute is ongoing and CGI intends to continue to pursue its right to a defense and indemnity under the SPA regardless of the tentative settlement in the class action. Meanwhile, the parties are currently involved in settlement negotiations.

VAT assessment

On February 20, 2017, and on August 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, ICS, received notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs office in the U.K. (the "HMRC") indicating that it was required to pay certain Value-Added Taxes ("VAT") for the 2015 and 2016 tax years. ICS disagrees with HMRC’s assessments on technical and factual grounds and intends to dispute the assessed liabilities and vigorously defend its interests. We do not believe the assessment to be probable and expect to prevail based on the facts and merits of our existing VAT position.

DBMG Class Action

On November 6, 2014, a putative stockholder class action complaint challenging the tender offer by which HC2 acquired approximately 721,000 of the outstanding common shares of DBMG was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., and Schuff International, Inc., Civil Action No. 10323 (the "Complaint"). On November 17, 2014, a second lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Arlen Diercks v. Schuff International, Inc. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., Civil Action No. 10359. On February 19, 2015, the court consolidated the actions (now designated as Schuff International, Inc. Stockholders Litigation) and appointed lead plaintiff and co-lead plaintiffs' counsel. The currently operative complaint was filed by Mark Jacobs. The pending complaint alleges, among other things, that in connection with the tender offer, the individual members of the DBMG Board of Directors and HC2, the controlling stockholder of DBMG, breached their fiduciary duties to members of the plaintiff class. Plaintiffs also assert that HC2 should be required to complete a short-form merger based upon plaintiffs' expectation that the Company would cash out the remaining public stockholders of DBMG following the completion of the tender offer. The complaint seeks rescission of the tender offer and/or compensatory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief. The defendants filed answers to the complaint on July 30, 2015.

The parties have been exploring alternative frameworks for a potential settlement. There can be no assurance that a settlement will be finalized or that the Delaware Courts would approve such a settlement even if the parties enter into a settlement agreement. If a settlement cannot be reached, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Global Marine Dispute

GMSL is in dispute with Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks Limited ("ASN") related to a Marine Installation Contract between the parties, dated March 11, 2016 (the "ASN Contract"). Under the ASN Contract, GMSL's obligations were to install and bury an optical fiber cable in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. As of the date hereof, neither party has commenced legal proceedings. Pursuant to the ASN Contract any such dispute would be governed by English law and would be required to be brought in the English courts in London. ASN has alleged that GMSL committed material breaches of the ASN Contract, which entitles ASN to terminate the ASN Contract, take over the work themselves, and claim damages for their losses arising as a result of the breaches. The alleged material breaches include failure to use appropriate equipment and procedures to perform the work and failure to accurately estimate the amount of weather downtime needed. ASN has indicated to GMSL it has incurred $38.2 million in damages and $1.2 million in liquidated damages for the period from September 2016 to October 2016, plus interest and costs. GMSL believes that it has not breached the terms and conditions of the contract and also believes that ASN has not properly terminated the contract in a manner that would allow it to make a claim. However, ASN has ceased making payments to GMSL and as of June 30, 2018, the total sum of GMSL invoices raised and issued are $17.0 million, of which $8.1 million were settled by ASN and the balance of $8.9 million remains at risk. We believe that the allegations and claims by ASN are without merit, and that ASN is required to make all payments under unpaid invoices and we intend to defend our interests vigorously.

Tax Matters

Currently, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") is auditing a subsidiary previously held by the Company. The Company intends to cooperate in audit matters. To date, CRA has not proposed any specific adjustments and the audit is ongoing.

Net periodic benefit cost (income)	$	(591	)	$	(504	)	$	(1,181	)	$	(1,009	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, $1.9 million of contributions have been made to the Company's pension plans, comprising $0.8 million of fixed contributions and $1.1 million of profit-related contributions (based on 2015 profits). The Company anticipates contributing an additional $2.2 million during 2018, comprising $1.8 million of fixed contributions and $0.4 million of profit-related contributions (based on 2016 profits).

Under a revised deficit recovery plan agreed between GMSL and the trustees of GMSL's pension plan dated March 20, 2018, which was subsequently submitted to the UK government’s Pension Regulator, contributions of approximately $13.1 million deferred from 2016 and 2017 due in December 2017 have been further deferred. To support this deferral, the Company has provided secured assets in the form of the CWind Phantom crew transfer vessel and two trenchers. Consistent with earlier recovery plans, the revised deficit recovery plan comprises three elements: fixed contributions, variable contributions (profit-related element) and variable contributions (dividend-related element), though the amounts and some definitions have been modified. The fixed contributions, payable in installments, comprise approximately $2.6 million in 2018, approximately $6.8 million in 2019, approximately $7.0 million in 2020, approximately $7.2 million in 2021 and approximately $3.1 million in 2022. The variable contributions (profit-related element) are calculated as 10% of GMSL's audited operating profit and paid two years in arrears in December each year from 2018. The variable contributions (dividend-related) equate to 50% of any future dividend paid by GMSL.

17. Share-based Compensation

On April 11, 2014, HC2’s Board of Directors adopted the HC2 Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "2014 Plan"), which was originally approved at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2014. On April 21, 2017, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, adopted the Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Amended 2014 Plan"). The Amended 2014 Plan was approved by HC2's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 14, 2017. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended 2014 Plan, the Amended 2014 Plan authorized the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of HC2, plus any shares that again become available for awards under the 2014 Plan.

On April 20, 2018, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, adopted the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Second A&R 2014 Plan"). The Second A&R 2014 Plan was approved by HC2's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 13, 2018. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Second A&R 2014 Plan, the Second A&R 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock of HC2 plus any shares that again become available for awards under the 2014 Plan or the Amended 2014 Plan.

The Second A&R 2014 Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the Amended 2014 Plan. However, awards previously granted under either the 2014 Plan or the Amended 2014 Plan will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the 2014 Plan and Amended 2014 Plan, respectively. The Compensation Committee of HC2's Board of Directors administers the 2014 Plan, the Amended 2014 Plan and the Second A&R 2014 Plan and has broad authority to administer, construe and interpret the plans.

The Second A&R 2014 Plan provides for the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares.

The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share-based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

The Company granted 662,769 and 331,616 options during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017 was $2.91 and $2.72, respectively, per option. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions shown as a weighted average for the year:

Luxor and Corrib Conversions

As part of the Corrib Preferred Share Conversion the Company also agreed to provide the following two forms of additional consideration for as long as the Preferred Stock remained entitled to receive dividend payments (the "Additional Share Consideration").

The Company agreed that in the event that Corrib and Luxor would have been entitled to any Participating Dividends payable, had they not converted the Preferred Stock (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation), after the date of their Preferred Share conversion, then the Company will issue to Corrib and Luxor, on the date such Participating Dividends become payable by the Company, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) the value of the Participating Dividends Corrib or Luxor would have received pursuant to Sections (2)(c) and (2)(d) of the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, divided by (b) the Thirty Day VWAP (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) for the period ending two business days prior to the underlying event or transaction that would have entitled Corrib or Luxor to such Participating Dividend had Corrib’s or Luxor’s Preferred Stock remain unconverted.

Further, the Company agreed that it will issue to Corrib and Luxor, on each quarterly anniversary commencing May 29, 2017 (or, if later, the date on which the corresponding dividend payment is made to the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock), through and until the Maturity Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation), in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) 1.875% the Accrued Value (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) of Corrib’s or Luxor’s Preferred Stock as of the Closing Date (as defined in applicable Voluntary Conversion Agreements) divided by (b) the Thirty Day VWAP (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) for the period ending two business days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation).

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 61,016 and 6,864 shares of the Company's common stock have been issued to Luxor and Corrib, respectively, in conjunction with the Conversion agreement.

21. Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities. As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock of the Company are considered participating securities. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), is computed using the "treasury" method as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.

The following potential common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as the shares were antidilutive: 2,019,972 for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's stock and 4,787,602 for convertible preferred stock.

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, due to the results of operations being a loss from continuing operations, net of tax.

22. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Broadcasting segment entered into multiple asset purchase agreements ("APAs"), for consideration of up to $19.8 million, of which $7.3 million are subject to FCC approval and / or closing conditions as of the filing date. The Broadcasting segment closed on multiple APAs for a total consideration of $24.3 million, of which $12.5 million was related to APAs entered into subsequent to June 30, 2018.

On July 23, 2018, in connection with the signed agreement to purchase the long-term care block of Humana, which is subject to regulatory approval as of the date of this filing, CGI obtained a three month surplus note (the "Surplus Note") from Humana, issued July 17, 2018 and due September 14, 2018, in the amount of $32.0 million. At the same time, and as a further inducement to Humana to purchase the Surplus Note, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Humana pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase the Surplus Note from Humana in the event CGI fails to pay all amounts thereunder when due.

On July 24, 2018, the DBMG Facility was amended, increasing the availability of the borrowing base allowing DBMG to borrow an additional $10.0 million of the $70.0 million total line and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The temporary borrowing base increase and related interest expire October 23, 2018.

On August 6, 2018, in connection with a private placement at Inseego Corp., an equity method investment of the Company, Philip Falcone stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Inseego.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

On August 7, 2018, certain subsidiaries of the Broadcasting segment entered into several financing transactions, generating approximately $38.1 million of proceeds, which will be used for pending and potential acquisitions, to replenish amounts previously expended on recent acquisitions of broadcasting assets, general corporate purposes, and to pay related fees and expenses. Those financing transactions consisted of the following:


•	HC2 Station Group, Inc., (“HC2 Station"), HC2 LPTV (together with HC2 Station, the “Borrowers”), indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Broadcasting segment, issued a $35.0 million 364-day Secured Note (the “Secured Note”) to certain institutional investors (the "Institutional Investors"). The Secured Note bears interest at a rate of 8.50%, payable at maturity.


•	The Institutional Investors purchased 2.0% of the outstanding common stock of HC2 Broadcasting (the “Equity Purchase”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.1 million.

•

HC2 Broadcasting also issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Institutional Investors to purchase an additional 2.0% of the common stock of HC2 Broadcasting outstanding immediately after consummation of the Equity Purchase for what would be an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.7 million if exercised as of the issuance date, and as may be adjusted at any future exercise of the Warrant pursuant to its terms. The Warrant has a five-year term and is immediately exercisable.

The issuance and sale of the Secured Note, the Equity Purchase and the issuance of the Warrant are collectively referred to as the “HC2 Broadcasting Transactions”. The Equity Purchase and the issuance of the Warrant were, and the issuance of shares of HC2 Broadcasting common stock pursuant to the Warrant will be, issued in a private placement exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of HC2 Holdings, Inc. ("HC2," "we," "us," "our" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2018, as well as the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Our Business

We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through eight operating platforms or reportable segments: Construction ("DBMG"), Marine Services ("GMSL"), Energy ("ANG"), Telecommunications ("ICS"), Insurance ("CIG"), Life Sciences ("Pansend"), Broadcasting, and Other, which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

In 2018, the Broadcasting segment's entities met the definition of a segment, in accordance with ASC 280, from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Therefore, it moved out of the Other segment and into its own segment. Our Broadcasting segment is comprised of HC2 Broadcasting Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. Broadcasting strategically acquires and operates over the air ("OTA") broadcasting stations across the United States. In addition, Broadcasting, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HC2 Network Inc. (“Network”), operates Azteca America, a Spanish-language broadcast network offering high quality Hispanic content to a diverse demographic across the United States.

We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities, as well as monitor a variety of key indicators of our underlying platform companies in order to maximize stakeholder value. These indicators include, but are not limited to, revenue, cost of revenue, operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Furthermore, we work very closely with our subsidiary platform executive management teams on their operations and assist them in the evaluation and diligence of asset acquisitions, dispositions and any financing or operational needs at the subsidiary level. We believe that this close relationship allows us to capture synergies within the organization across all platforms and strategically position the Company for ongoing growth and value creation.

The potential for additional acquisitions and new business opportunities, while strategic, may result in acquiring assets unrelated to our current or historical operations. As part of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capital in the form of debt and/or equity securities (including preferred stock) or a combination thereof. We have broad discretion and experience in identifying and selecting acquisition and business combination opportunities and the industries in which we seek such opportunities. Many times, we face significant competition for these opportunities, including from numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours. As such, there can be no assurance that any of the past or future discussions we have had or may have with candidates will result in a definitive agreement and, if they do, what the terms or timing of any potential agreement would be. As part of our acquisition strategy, we may utilize a portion of our available cash to acquire interests in possible acquisition targets. Any securities acquired are marked to market and may increase short-term earnings volatility as a result.

We believe our track record, our platform and our strategy will enable us to deliver strong financial results, while positioning our Company for long-term growth. We believe the unique alignment of our executive compensation program, with our objective of increasing long-term stakeholder value, is paramount to executing our vision of long-term growth, while maintaining our disciplined approach. Having designed our business structure to not only address capital allocation challenges over time, but also maintain the flexibility to capitalize on opportunities during periods of market volatility, we believe the combination thereof positions us well to continue to build long-term stakeholder value.

Our Operations

Refer to Note 1. Organization and Business to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Seasonality

Our industries can be highly cyclical and subject to seasonal patterns. Our volume of business in our Construction and Marine Services segments may be adversely affected by declines or delays in projects, which may vary by geographic region. Project schedules, particularly in connection with large, complex, and longer-term projects can also create fluctuations in the services provided, which may adversely affect us in a given period.

For example, in connection with larger, more complicated projects, the timing of obtaining permits and other approvals may be delayed, and we may need to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on such projects when they move forward.

Examples of other items that may cause our results or demand for our services to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: weather or project site conditions, financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; margins of projects performed during any particular period; economic, and political and market conditions on a regional, national or global scale.

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Marine Services

Net revenue within our Marine Services segment can fluctuate depending on the season. Revenues are relatively stable for our Marine Services maintenance business as the core driver is the annual contractual obligation. However, this is not the case with our installation business (other than for long-term charter arrangements), in which revenues show a degree of seasonality. Revenues in our Marine Services installation business are driven by our customers’ need for new cable installations. Generally, weather downtime, and the additional costs related to downtime, is a significant factor in customers determining their installation schedules, and most installations are therefore scheduled for the warmer months. As a result, installation revenues are generally lower towards the end of the fourth quarter and throughout the first quarter, as most business is concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

Other than as described above, our businesses are not materially affected by seasonality.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions

On February 7, 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Broadcasting closed on the acquisition of Northstar's broadcast television stations. The total consideration paid in February 2018 was $33.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, certain transactions signed received FCC approval and closed for a total consideration of $13.2 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Broadcasting segment entered into multiple APAs, for consideration of up to $19.8 million, of which $7.3 million are subject to FCC approval and/or closing conditions as of the filing date. The Broadcasting segment closed on multiple APAs for a total consideration of $24.3 million, of which $12.5 million was related to APAs entered into subsequent to June 30, 2018.

Dispositions

Debt Issuance

On February 4, 2018, Broadcasting entered into a First Amendment to its loan agreement ("Bridge Loan"), which amends the existing Bridge Loan, to add an additional $27.0 million in principal borrowing capacity to its existing credit agreement.

On February 6, 2018, Broadcasting borrowed $42.0 million in principal amount of the Bridge Loan, the net proceeds of which were used to finance certain acquisitions, to pay fees, costs and expenses relating to the Bridge Loans, and for general corporate purposes. The total aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loan outstanding after the February 6, 2018 borrowing was $102.0 million.

On April 4, 2018, GMSL entered into a 7.49% fixed interest only loan, due April 3, 2019, with Shawbrook Bank Limited for £7.2 million, or approximately $9.4 million.

The DBMG Facility was further amended on July 24, 2018, increasing the availability of the borrowing base allowing DBMG to borrow an additional $10.0 million of the $70.0 million total line and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The temporary borrowing base increase and related interest expire October 23, 2018.

On May 3, 2018, HC2 priced $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) issued at a premium of 102.0% of the principal amount. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to refinance all of the Broadcasting outstanding Bridge Loan, for working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes, including the financing of future acquisitions and investments.


•	HC2 Station Group, Inc., (“HC2 Station"), HC2 LPTV (together with HC2 Station, the “Borrowers”), indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Broadcasting segment, issued a $35.0 million 364-day Secured Note (the “Secured Note”) to certain institutional investors (the "Institutional Investors"). The Secured Note bears interest at a rate of 8.50%, payable at maturity.


•	The Institutional Investors purchased 2.0% of the outstanding common stock of HC2 Broadcasting (the “Equity Purchase”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.1 million.

•

The Construction segment revenues increased due primarily to increased activity on two large commercial projects in the West region, a multi-use sports stadium complex and a healthcare facility, which contributed greater revenue when compared to the previous period as those projects entered the pre-assembly and erection phases, respectively. Increased revenues from the Marine Services segment were attributed to the increased scale and timing of GMSL telecom and offshore power installation projects under execution over the comparable periods, and from growth in offshore power repair and telecom maintenance revenues. Further, there was an increase in the Telecommunications segment, as a result of normal fluctuations in wholesale traffic volumes, and from the Broadcasting segment driven by revenue contribution from entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Loss from operations: Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $5.7 million to $5.5 million from $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was driven by the Marine Services segment due to significant increases in offshore cable installation and repair jobs in the second quarter, and our Construction segment, due to increased fabrication activity on two large commercial projects in the West region, both which contributed greater revenue when compared to the previous period. This was offset by the cost of operations of the Broadcasting segment whose subsidiaries were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $5.1 million to $17.2 million from $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was attributable to the net increase of the aggregate principal amount of our 11.0% Notes and Bridge Loans compared to the previous period.

Gain on sale of subsidiary: Gain on sale of subsidiary for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $102.1 million. The increase was attributable to the Life Sciences segment sale of BeneVir in which the Company recorded a gain on the sale of $102.1 million.

Income from equity investees: Income from equity investees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $6.7 million to $10.8 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in income was primarily driven by our Marine Services segment, principally from its equity interests in Huawei Marine Network ("HMN"), driven by a higher level of project activity and the timing of projects.

Other income (expenses), net: Other expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $2.2 million to $1.0 million compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease is attributable to impairment expenses incurred in the comparable period which did not reoccur in 2018. This was partially offset by a current period loss on extinguishment of debt at our Broadcasting segment, net of an increase in foreign currency transaction gain.

Income tax (expense) benefit: Income tax expense (benefit) was an expense of $9.5 million and a benefit of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018 relates primarily to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for tax paying entities. The income tax expense generated from the sale of BeneVir are offset by tax attributes for which a valuation allowance had been recorded. Therefore, there is no net income tax expense recorded in the income statement for the sale. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by certain businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The income tax benefit recorded for three months ended June 30, 2017 relates primarily to the appreciation of investments and the mix of income and losses by taxpaying entities, including the Insurance segment.

Six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017

Net revenue: Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $181.2 million to $950.5 million from $769.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was driven by the Construction segment due primarily to increased activity on two large commercial projects in the West region, a multi-use sports stadium complex and a healthcare facility, which contributed greater revenue when compared to the previous period as those projects entered the pre-assembly and erection phases, respectively. Further, the increase was contributed by the Marine Services segment largely attributed to the increased scale and timing of GMSL telecom and offshore power installation projects under execution over the comparable periods. Additionally, growth in offshore power repair and telecom maintenance revenues contributed to the increase. Finally, the increase was driven by revenues from the entities comprising the Broadcasting segment driven by revenue contribution from entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Loss from operations: Income (loss) from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $9.1 million to a loss of $19.3 million from a loss of $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was driven by the cost of operations of the Broadcasting segment whose subsidiaries were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017, and our life sciences segment, due largely from the legal and disposition costs associated with the sale of BeneVir. This was offset by the Construction segment due to increased fabrication activity on two large commercial projects in the West region.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $10.3 million to $36.5 million from $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was attributable to the interest expense associated with the Broadcasting segment's Bridge Loan, which was repaid in May of 2018, and the net increase of the aggregate principal amount of our 11.0% Notes and Bridge Loan compared to the previous period.

Gain on sale of subsidiary: Gain on sale of subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $102.1 million. The increase was attributable to the Life Sciences segment sale of BeneVir in which the Company recorded a gain on the sale of $102.1 million.

Income from equity investees: Income from equity investees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $6.2 million to $5.5 million from $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income was primarily driven by our Marine Services segment, principally driven by HMN. While its second quarter of 2018 results were strong, HMN recorded a loss in the first quarter as the joint venture recorded negligible revenues on large turnkey projects underway due to normal project cycle. In the prior period, there were comparatively strong results driven by a higher level of project activity.

Other income (expenses), net: Other income (expenses), net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $8.5 million to income of $0.1 million compared to an expense of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease is attributable to impairment expenses incurred in the prior period which did not reoccur in 2018. This was partially offset by a current period loss on extinguishment of debt at our Broadcasting segment, net of an increase in foreign currency transaction gains.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense was $11.1 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. The income tax expense generated from the sale of BeneVir are offset by tax attributes for which a valuation allowance had been recorded. Therefore, there is no net income tax expense recorded in the income statement for the sale. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by certain businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The income tax expense recorded for June 30, 2017 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration.

Net revenue: Net revenue from our Other segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $0.6 million, to $1.1 million from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net revenue from our Other segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $1.4 million, to $3.4 million from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increases were primarily driven by 704Games due to an increase in mobile game sales and console game sales from the NASCAR^®Heat 2game, which was released in September 2017. These sales outperformed the sales of its predecessor NASCAR^® Heat Evolution console game in the comparable period.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Other segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.2 million to $1.2 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Other segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.5 million to $2.3 million from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decreases were driven by a reduction of operating costs.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our Other segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.3 million, to $0.0 million from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Depreciation and amortization from our Other segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.7 million, to $0.0 million from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017

Marine Services: Income from equity investments in our Marine Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $6.1 million to $11.6 million from $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was principally driven by HMN, due to a higher level of project activity in the current period. Income from equity investments in our Marine Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $6.5 million to $7.7 million from $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was principally driven by HMN. While its second quarter of 2018 results were strong, HMN recorded a loss in the first quarter as the joint venture recorded negligible revenues on large turnkey projects underway due to normal project cycle. In the prior period, there were comparatively stronger results driven by a higher level of project activity, largely in the first quarter of 2017.

Life Sciences: Loss from equity investments from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.7 million to $0.7 million from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Loss from equity investments from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.4 million to a loss of $2.1 million from a loss of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decreases were largely due to lower equity method losses recorded from our investment in Medibeacon as clinical trials on the MB-102 technology, which have been ongoing throughout 2018, began to wind down during the second quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of operations and any consolidating eliminations of our Insurance segment.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for depreciation and amortization; amortization of equity method fair value adjustments at acquisition; (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets; lease termination costs; asset impairment expense; interest expense; net gain (loss) on contingent consideration; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; gain (loss) on sale of subsidiaries; other (income) expense, net; foreign currency transaction (gain) loss included in cost of revenue; income tax (benefit) expense; (gain) loss from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; bonus to be settled in equity; share-based compensation expense; non-recurring items; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Construction: Net Income from our Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $3.2 million to $7.4 million from $4.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Construction segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $4.4 million to $15.5 million from $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase can be attributed to the overall growth in project revenues, principally from large commercial projects in the West region.

Marine Services: Net Income (loss) from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $14.0 million to net income of $10.9 million from net loss of $3.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $16.8 million to $20.4 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in income from GMSL operations attributable to the growth in revenues from telecom and offshore power installation work, as well as the timing of costs incurred on certain offshore power installation and repair projects in the comparable period. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA benefited from GMSL’s equity investment in HMN, which recorded significantly higher income than in the comparable period, driven by a higher level of project work under execution and the release of project cost contingencies.

Energy: Net Income (loss) from our Energy segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 improved by $1.1 million to net income of $0.7 million from net loss of $0.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Energy segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $2.0 million to $3.0 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was largely driven by $2.6 million of AFETC recognized in the second quarter of 2018 attributable to 2017 CNG sales that were not recognized in the comparable period, partially offset by increases in utility and supply costs associated with delivering CNG and a general increase in expenses required to support the overall growth in the company.

Telecommunications: Net Income from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $1.1 million to $1.0 million from $2.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.9 million to $1.3 million from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. While there was an increase in revenues due to normal fluctuations in wholesale traffic volumes, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a lower margin contribution mix as a result of unfavorable fluctuations in wholesale call termination and supplier termination rates. Additionally, there were increases in compensation expense due to headcount increases and professional fees required to support operations.

Life Sciences: Net Income (loss) from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $78.2 million to net income of $74.1 million from net loss of $4.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 remained consistent at $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. In the quarter, there was an increase in compensation expense at the Pansend holding company related to the segment performance, which was offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses at R2 and decreased losses in its Medibeacon equity investment as clinical trials on the MB-102 technology, which have been ongoing throughout 2018, began to wind down in the second quarter of 2018.

Broadcasting: Net Loss from our Broadcasting segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $11.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $6.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from the Broadcasting segment was largely driven by operation expenses of the entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017 and not present in the comparable period.

Other and Eliminations: Net Loss from our Other and Eliminations segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $3.2 million to $0.6 million from $3.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from Other and Eliminations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $1.1 million to $1.0 million from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in loss was due to improved performance of 704Games and its associated mobile and console games, the latter of which is outperforming its predecessor NASCAR^® Heat Evolution console game.

Non-operating Corporate: Net Loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $11.9 million to $24.9 million from $13.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.9 million to $5.4 million from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in salary and benefits, rent and other general and administrative expenses.

Construction: Net Income from our Construction segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $3.5 million to $10.9 million from $7.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Construction segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $5.8 million to $25.5 million from $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase can be attributed to the overall growth in project revenues, principally from large commercial projects in the West region.

Marine Services: Net Income from our Marine Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $3.5 million to $4.6 million from $8.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA from our Marine Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $2.0 million to $18.0 million from $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by GMSL’s equity investment in HMN. While its second quarter results were strong, income recorded by HMN was greater in the comparable period, driven by a higher level of project work under execution and the release of project cost contingencies, largely in the first quarter of 2017. The decline in HMN income was partially offset by an increase in income from GMSL operations due principally to growth in telecom and offshore power cable installation work and the timing of costs incurred on certain offshore power installation and repair projects in the comparable period.

Energy: Net Income (loss) from our Energy segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 improved by $1.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Energy segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $1.4 million to $3.6 million from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was largely driven by $2.6 million of AFETC recognized in the second quarter of 2018 attributable to 2017 CNG sales that were not recognized in the comparable period, partially offset by increases in utility and supply costs associated with delivering CNG and a general increase in expenses required to support the overall growth in the company.

Telecommunications: Net Income from our Telecommunications segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $1.5 million to $2.1 million from $3.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA income from our Telecommunications segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $1.5 million to $2.4 million from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. While there was an increase in revenues due to normal fluctuations in wholesale traffic volumes, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a lower margin contribution mix as a result of unfavorable fluctuations in wholesale call termination and supplier termination rates. Additionally, there were increases in compensation expense due to headcount increases and professional fees required to support operations.

Life Sciences: Net Income (loss) from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $77.7 million to income of $70.2 million from net loss of $7.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $0.2 million to a loss of $9.2 million from a loss of $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. There was an increase in compensation expense at the Pansend holding company related to the segment performance, which was offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses at R2 Dermatology Inc. ("R2") and decreased losses in its Medibeacon equity investment as clinical trials on the MB-102 technology, which have been ongoing throughout 2018, began to wind down during the second quarter of 2018.

Broadcasting: Net Loss from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $24.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $11.3 million. Loss from the Broadcasting segment was largely driven by operation expenses of the entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017 and not present in the comparable period.

Other and Eliminations: Net Loss from our Other and Eliminations segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $8.5 million to $0.7 million from $9.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from Other and Eliminations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $2.1 million to $1.2 million from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in loss was due to improved performance of 704Games and its associated mobile and console games, the latter of which is outperforming its predecessor NASCAR^® Heat Evolution console game.

Non-operating Corporate: Net Loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $6.8 million to $39.9 million from $33.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.1 million to $12.1 million from $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $22.7 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by our Marine Services segment principally due to its equity investment in HMN, which realized a significant increase in earnings compared to the prior period, and an increase in income contribution from offshore cable installation and repair jobs. The increase was also attributed to our Construction segment attributed to the overall growth in project revenues, principally from large commercial projects in the West region. This was offset by the Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting segment, as it has significant operation expenses of the entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017 and had not been part of the Company in the comparable period.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million and $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by our Broadcasting segment, as it had significant operation expenses for entities which were predominantly acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017 and had not been part of the Company in the comparable period. This was offset by improved Adjusted EBITDA from our Construction segment attributed to the overall growth in project revenues, principally from large commercial projects in the West region.

Adjusted Operating Income - Insurance

Adjusted Operating Income ("Insurance AOI") and Pre-tax Adjusted Operating Income (“Pre-tax Insurance AOI”) for the Insurance segment are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures frequently used throughout the insurance industry and are economic measures the Insurance segment uses to evaluate its financial performance. Management believes that Insurance AOI and Pretax Insurance AOI measures provide investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of certain results and provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. However, Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI have certain limitations, and we may not calculate it the same as other companies in our industry. It should, therefore, be read together with the Company's results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Similarly to Adjusted EBITDA, using Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI as performance measures have inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as these non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI should not be considered in isolation and do not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as measures of our operating performance.

Management defines Insurance AOI as Net income (loss) for the Insurance segment adjusted to exclude the impact of net investment gains (losses), including OTTI losses recognized in operations; asset impairment; intercompany elimination; non-recurring items; and acquisition costs. Management defines Pre-tax Insurance AOI as Insurance AOI adjusted to exclude the impact of income tax (benefit) expense recognized during the current period. Management believes that Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI provide meaningful financial metrics that help investors understand certain results and profitability. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of the Insurance segment, market conditions impacting these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the business. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes their impact is effective in analyzing the trends of our operations.

The table below shows the adjustments made to the reported Net income (loss) of the Insurance segment to calculate Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI (in thousands). Refer to the analysis of the fluctuations within the results of operations section:

Three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $0.4 million to $0.6 million from $0.2 million. Net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $2.4 million to income of $1.8 million from a loss of $0.6 million.

Our Insurance AOI for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $5.8 million to a loss of $3.1 million from income of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our Insurance AOI for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $5.7 million, to a loss of $4.1 million from income of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Both the quarter and year-to-date decreases in income were mainly due to an increase in policy benefits attributable to a rise in claims incidence on aging long-term care liabilities, which was partially offset by an increase in net investment income primarily due to higher average invested fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, and rotation into higher-yielding investments. In addition, there was an increase in tax expense in both periods, driven by the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for the Insurance segment. Any future tax benefits generated have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as the Insurance segment does not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the benefits will be realized.

Pretax Insurance AOI for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $3.7 million to income of $0.5 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Pretax Insurance AOI for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.9 million to income of $2.7 million, as compared to $3.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2017. Both the quarter and year-to-date decreases in income were mainly due to an increase in policy benefits attributable to a rise in claims incidence on aging long-term care liabilities, which was partially offset by an increase in net investment income primarily due to higher average invested fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, and rotation into higher-yielding investments.

Backlog

Projects in backlog consist of awarded contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed, change orders, and purchase orders obtained. Backlog increases as contract commitments are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts. Backlog is converted to sales in future periods as work is performed or projects are completed. Backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt or loss of individual contracts.

Construction Segment

At June 30, 2018, DBMG's backlog was $656.4 million, consisting of $508.2 million under contracts or purchase orders and $148.2 million under letters of intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $397.2 million, representing 60.5% of DBMG’s backlog at June 30, 2018, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these projects terminate or reduce their scope, DBMG’s backlog could decrease substantially.

Marine Services Segment

At June 30, 2018, GMSL's backlog stood at $372.2 million, inclusive of $279.1 million of signed contracts and customer-approved change orders and $93.1 million of on-site repair estimates associated with its long-term maintenance contracts. Approximately $246.3 million, representing 88.2% of GMSL’s signed contracts and customer-approved change orders and $339.5 million, representing 91.2% of GMSL's total backlog at June 30, 2018, was attributable to three multi-year telecom maintenance contracts which will naturally burn through to revenue as the contracts run off. Our reported backlog may not be converted to revenue in any particular period and actual revenue may not equal our backlog. Therefore, our backlog may not be indicative of the level of our future revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

HC2 is a holding company and its liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on its 11.0% Notes and dividend payments on its Preferred Stock. HC2 also has liquidity needs related to recurring operational expenses.

As of June 30, 2018, HC2 had $112.3 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $97.9 million as of December 31, 2017. On a stand-alone basis, as of June 30, 2018, our Non-Operating Corporate segment had cash and cash equivalents of $53.7 million compared to $29.4 million at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents in our Insurance segment was $25.9 million compared to $25.2 million at December 31, 2017.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of steel construction equipment and subsea cable equipment, fueling stations, network equipment (such as switches, related transmission equipment and capacity), and service infrastructure, liabilities associated with insurance products, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $672.8 million of indebtedness on a consolidated basis compared to $601.1 million as of December 31, 2017. On a stand-alone basis, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, HC2 had indebtedness of $510.0 million and $400.0 million, respectively.

Our Non-Operating Corporate segment's debt consists of the 11.0% Notes, and is required to make semi-annual interest payments on its outstanding 11.0% Notes on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year. HC2 is required to make dividend payments on our outstanding Preferred Stock on January 15^th, April 15^th, July 15^th, and October 15^th of each year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, HC2 received $1.8 million in dividends from its Telecommunications segment.

Under a tax sharing agreement, DBMG reimburses HC2 for use of its Net Operating Losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, HC2 received $4.0 million from DBMG under this tax sharing agreement.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries. In the future, we may also choose to sell assets or certain investments to generate cash.

At this time, we believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as debt service and operating leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months through a combination of distributions from our subsidiaries and from raising of additional debt or equity, refinancing of certain of our indebtedness or preferred stock, other financing arrangements and/or the sale of assets and certain investments. Historically, we have chosen to reinvest cash and receivables into the growth of our various businesses, and therefore have not kept a large amount of cash on hand at the holding company level, a practice which we expect to continue in the future. The ability of HC2’s subsidiaries to make distributions to HC2 is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, regulatory requirements, availability of sufficient funds at each subsidiary and the approval

of such payment by each subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors each subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. Our ability to sell assets and certain of our investments to meet our existing financing needs may also be limited by our existing financing instruments. Although the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional equity capital, refinance indebtedness or Preferred Stock, enter into other financing arrangements or engage in asset sales and sales of certain investments sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company if at all. Such financing options, if pursued, may also ultimately have the effect of negatively impacting our liquidity profile and prospects over the long-term. In addition, the sale of assets or the Company’s investments may also make the Company less attractive to potential investors or future financing partners.

Indebtedness

See Note 13. Debt Obligations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our long-term debt.

Restrictive Covenants

The 11.0% Notes Indenture contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock and make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The 11.0% Notes Indenture also includes two maintenance covenants: (1) a liquidity covenant; and (2) a collateral coverage covenant.

The liquidity covenant provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors of the 11.0% Notes (the "Guarantors") to be less than the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the 11.0% Notes and all other debt of the Company and the Guarantors, plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s Preferred Stock, for the next (i) six months if our collateral coverage ratio is greater than 2.0x or (ii) 12 months if our collateral coverage ratio is less than 2.0x. As of June 30, 2018, our collateral coverage ratio was greater than 2.0x and therefore the liquidity covenant requires the Company to maintain 6 months of debt service and preferred dividend obligations. If the collateral coverage ratio subsequently becomes lower than 2:1 in the future, the maintenance of liquidity requirement under the 11.0% Notes will be increased back to 12 months of debt service and preferred dividend obligations. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The collateral coverage covenant provides that the Company’s Collateral Coverage Ratio (defined in the 11.0% Notes Indenture as the ratio of (i) the Loan Collateral to (ii) Consolidated Secured Debt (each as defined therein)) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter may not be less than 1.25:1. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The instruments governing the Company’s Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional Preferred Stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

We are in compliance as of June 30, 2018 with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements.

Summary of Consolidated Cash Flows

Presented below is a table that summarizes the cash provided or used in our activities and the amount of the respective increases or decreases in cash provided by (used in) those activities between the fiscal periods (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase / (Decrease)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	18,002		$	27,756		$	(9,754	)

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities totaled $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to cash provided of $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $58.1 million decrease was the result of an increase in working capital of $17.9 million compared to a decrease of $30.2 million in the previous year. The increase in working capital is largely driven by our Construction segment as the segment ramps up fabrication activity on two large commercial projects in the West region.

Investing Activities

Cash provided in investing activities totaled $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to cash used of $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $55.0 million increase was driven by our Life Sciences segment, due to the $93.4 million of cash received from the sale of BeneVir and a decrease in cash used of $10.3 million of equity method investment purchases in the prior year. This was partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions in our Broadcasting segment of $48.0 million was paid for acquisitions, of which $33.0 million was for the acquisition of Northstar's broadcast television stations.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to cash provided in financing activities of $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $6.0 million decrease was driven by $14.9 million in distributions to NCI holders of Pansend, due to the BeneVir sale, partially offset by an increase in cash provided of $10.0 million from the Company's debt issuances, net of debt payments when compared to the previous period.

Other Invested Assets

Construction

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund DBMG’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. DBMG's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. DBMG attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, DBMG generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. DBMG relies on its credit facilities to meet its working capital needs. DBMG believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

DBMG is required to make monthly or quarterly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the June 30, 2018 debt balance, DBMG anticipates that its interest payments will be approximately $0.4 million each quarter.

DBMG believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures and its working capital needs. However, DBMG may expand its operations through future acquisitions and may require additional equity or debt financing.

Marine Services

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund GMSL’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. GMSL's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. GMSL attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, GMSL generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. GMSL believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

GMSL is required to make monthly and quarterly interest and principal payments depending on the structure of each individual debt agreement.

Market Environment

GMSL earns revenues in a variety of currencies including the U.S. dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Euro, and the British pound. The exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Euro, and the British pound have fluctuated in recent periods and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Any material appreciation or depreciation of these currencies against each other may have a negative impact on GMSL's results of operations and financial condition.

Insurance

Cash flows

CIG’s principal cash inflows from its operating activities relate to its premiums, annuity deposits and insurance, investment product fees and other income. CIG’s principal cash inflows from its invested assets result from investment income and the maturity and sales of invested assets. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash inflows relates to the risk of default by debtors and interest rate volatility. Additional sources of liquidity to meet unexpected cash outflows in excess of operating cash inflows and current cash and equivalents on hand include selling short-term investments or fixed maturity securities.

CIG's principal cash outflows relate to the payment of claims liabilities, interest credited and operating expenses. CIG’s management believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Market environment

As of June 30, 2018, CIG was in a position to hold any investment security showing an unrealized loss until recovery, provided it remains comfortable with the credit of the issuer. CIG does not rely on short-term funding or commercial paper and to date it has experienced no liquidity pressure, nor does it anticipate such pressure in the foreseeable future. CIG projects its reserves to be sufficient and believes its current capital base is adequate to support its business.

Dividend Limitations

CIG's insurance subsidiary is subject to Texas statutory provisions that restrict the payment of dividends. The dividend limitations on CIG are based on statutory financial results and regulatory approval. Statutory accounting practices differ in certain respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Significant differences include the treatment of deferred income taxes, required investment reserves, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes.

The ability of CIG’s insurance subsidiary to pay dividends and to make such other payments is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the states in which its subsidiary is domiciled, which subject its subsidiary to significant regulatory restrictions. These laws and regulations require, among other things, CIG’s insurance subsidiary to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends this subsidiary can pay. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength in the form of its subsidiary Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") ratio. CIG monitors its insurance subsidiary's compliance with the RBC requirements specified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. As of December 31, 2017, CIG’s insurance subsidiary exceeds the minimum RBC requirements. CIG’s insurance subsidiary paid no dividends to CIG in fiscal year 2017 and has further agreed with its state regulator to not pay dividends for three years following the completion of the acquisition on December 24, 2015.

Other

The Company has an agreement with the Texas Department of Insurance ("TDOI") that, for five years following the acquisition, the Company will contribute to Continental General Insurance Company ("CGI" or the "Insurance Company") cash or marketable securities acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Texas law and reported in CGI’s statutory statements filed with the TDOI).

Additionally, CGI entered into a capital maintenance agreement with Great American Financial Resources, Inc. ("Great American"). Under the agreement, if the acquired company’s total adjusted capital reported in its annual statutory financial statements is less than 400% of its authorized control level risk-based capital, Great American has agreed to pay cash or assets to the acquired company as required to eliminate such shortfall (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by the Company or its affiliates since the date of the relevant annual statutory financial statement). Great American’s obligation to make such payments is capped at $35.0 million under the capital maintenance agreement. The capital maintenance agreement will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 or until payments by Great American under the agreement equal the cap. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Great American for the amount of any payments made by Great American under the capital maintenance agreement.

Asset Liability Management

CIG’s insurance subsidiary maintains investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as long-term care insurance, are matched with investments such as long-term fixed maturity securities. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. The types of assets in which CIG may invest are influenced by state laws, which prescribe qualified investment assets applicable to insurance companies. Within the parameters of these laws, CIG invests in assets giving consideration to four primary investment objectives: (i) maintain robust absolute returns; (ii) provide reliable yield and investment income; (iii) preserve capital and (iv) provide liquidity to meet policyholder and other corporate obligations. The Insurance segment’s investment portfolio is designed to contribute stable earnings and balance risk across diverse asset classes and is primarily invested in high quality fixed income securities. In addition, at any given time, CIG’s insurance subsidiary could hold cash, highly liquid, high-quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals.

Credit Quality

Insurance statutes regulate the type of investments that CIG is permitted to make and limit the amount of funds that may be used for any one type of investment. In light of these statutes and regulations, and CIG's business and investment strategy, CIG generally seeks to invest in (i) securities rated investment grade by established nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (each, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO")), (ii) U.S. Government and government-sponsored agency securities, or (iii) securities of comparable investment quality, if not rated.

The following table summarizes the credit quality, by NRSRO rating, of CIG's fixed income portfolio (in thousands):

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency fluctuations can impact our financial results. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately 14.9% and 10.6% respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately 12.1% and 11.5%, respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S.

The reporting currency for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is the United States dollar ("USD"). The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country.

In the future, we expect to continue to derive a portion of our net revenue and incur a portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the USD/British pound sterling ("GBP") exchange rate. Changes in the exchange rate of USD relative to the GBP could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because a majority of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. More profits in GBP are required to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

DBMG

DBMG’s off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2018 included letters of credit of $8.8 million under Credit and Security Agreements and performance bonds of $241.8 million.

DBMG’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require DBMG to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with public works projects and sometimes with respect to certain private contracts. DBMG’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. We are exposed to market risk with respect to our investments and foreign currency exchange rates. Through DBMG, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on its borrowings and from adverse changes in steel prices. Through GMSL and ANG, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on their respective borrowings. We do not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk from such exposures.

Equity Price Risk

HC2 is exposed to market risk primarily through changes in fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities. HC2 follows an investment strategy approved by the HC2 Board of Directors which sets certain restrictions on the amount of securities that HC2 may acquire and its overall investment strategy.

Market prices for fixed maturity and equity securities are subject to fluctuation, as a result, and consequently the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Because HC2’s fixed maturity are classified as available-for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that the decline reflects OTTI, however with respect to Equity Securities, as of January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, would affect earnings due to a hypothetical decline.

A means of assessing exposure to changes in market prices is to estimate the potential changes in market values on the fixed maturity and equity securities resulting from a hypothetical decline in equity market prices. As of June 30, 2018, assuming all other factors are constant, we estimate that a 10.0%, 20.0%, and 30.0% decline in equity market prices would have the following impact:



	Decline in equity market prices
	10%	20%	30%
Fixed Maturity Securities	124,925	249,851	374,776
Equity Securities	7,956	15,911	23,867

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

DBMG, GMSL and ICS are exposed to market risk from foreign currency price changes that could have a significant and potentially adverse impact on gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries into USD.

We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. For example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. More profits in GBP are required to generate the same amount of profits in USD and, similarly, a greater loss in GBP is required to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

Interest Rate Risk

GMSL, DBMG, and ANG are exposed to the market risk from changes in interest rates through their borrowings, which bear variable rates based on LIBOR. Changes in LIBOR could result in an increase or decrease in interest expense recorded. A 100, 200, and 300 basis point increase in LIBOR based on our floating rate borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2018 of $48.1 million, would result in an increase in the recorded interest expense of $0.5 million, $1.0 million, and $1.4 million per year.

Commodity Price Risk

DBMG is exposed to the market risk from changes in the price of steel. For large orders the risk is mitigated by locking the general contractors into the price at the mill at the time work is awarded. In the event of a subsequent price increase by the mill, DBMG has the ability to pass the higher costs on to the general contractor. DBMG does not hedge or enter into any forward purchasing arrangements with the mills. The price negotiated at the time of the order is the price paid by DBMG.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance under ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. Although ASC 606 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial results, changes to the Company's processes and controls related to revenue recognition were implemented. These changes included creating new accounting policies based on the five-step model of ASC 606, implementing ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering information necessary for disclosures.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
