PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information included and incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information included and incorporated by reference herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations and our strategic plans and objectives. When we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in our other public filings with the SEC.
The factors described herein are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect our forward-looking statements. Consequently, our actual performance could be materially different from the results described or anticipated by our forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by the applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Market and Industry Data
Certain market data and industry data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were obtained from reports of governmental agencies and industry publications and surveys. We believe the data from third-party sources to be reliable based upon our management’s knowledge of the industry, but have not independently verified such data and as such, make no guarantees as to its accuracy, completeness or timeliness.

(1) Organization
Tiptree Inc. (formally known as Tiptree Financial Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, Tiptree or the Company, or we) is a Maryland Corporation that was incorporated on March 19, 2007. Tiptree is a diversified holding company with four reporting segments: specialty insurance, asset management, senior living and specialty finance. Tiptree’s Class A common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TIPT”. Tiptree’s primary asset is its ownership of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (TFP) an intermediate holding company through which Tiptree operates its businesses. Tiptree reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in TFP held by other limited partners of TFP.
As of January 1, 2016, Tiptree directly owned approximately 81% of TFP. The remaining 19% is reported as non-controlling interest. All of Tiptree’s Class B common stock is owned by TFP and is accounted for as treasury stock. Tiptree’s Class B common stock has the same voting rights as the Class A common stock but no economic rights. The limited partners of TFP (other than Tiptree itself) have the ability to exchange TFP partnership units for Tiptree Class A common stock at a rate of 2.798 shares of Class A common stock per partnership unit equal to the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding. For every share of Class A common stock exchanged in this manner, a share of Class B common stock is canceled. The percentage of TFP owned by Tiptree may increase in the future to the extent TFP’s limited partners exchange their limited partnership units of TFP for Class A common stock of Tiptree. Changes in Tiptree’s ownership of TFP, as a result of such exchanges, will be accounted for as equity transactions, which increase Tiptree’s ownership of TFP and reduce non-controlling interest in TFP without changing total stockholders’ equity of Tiptree.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tiptree have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the main operating currency of the Company. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial information reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending on December 31, 2017.
As a result of changes in presentation made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. The primary difference in the presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements from the prior year is the aggregation of investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the summation of the net investment income of our specialty insurance business in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The condensed consolidated cash flow statement has also been conformed to this new presentation. In addition certain immaterial balances have been combined in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Tiptree consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more of voting rights or has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity as well as variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Tiptree is determined to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.
A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Generally, Tiptree’s consolidated VIEs are entities which Tiptree is considered the primary beneficiary through its controlling financial interests.

Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than Tiptree. Accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes estimates and assumptions that include, but are not limited to, the determination of the following significant items:
• | Fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, securities, loans and derivatives |
• | Value of acquired assets and liabilities; |
• | Carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles, including estimated amortization period and useful lives; |
• | Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, estimated future claims and losses, potential litigation and other claims; |
• | Valuation of contingent share issuances for compensation and purchase consideration, including estimates of number of shares and vesting schedules; |
• | Revenue recognition including, but not limited to, the timing and amount of insurance premiums, service, administration fees, and loan origination fees; and |
• | Other matters that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of contingencies in the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available estimates, actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.
Business Combination Accounting
The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition. The net assets acquired may consist of tangible and intangible assets and the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, or goodwill. The determination of estimated useful lives and the allocation of the purchase price to the intangible assets requires significant judgment and affects the amount of future amortization and possible impairment charges. Contingent consideration, if any, is measured at fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair value of any contingent consideration liability is remeasured at each reporting date with any change recorded in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition and transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
In certain instances, the Company may acquire less than 100% ownership of an entity, resulting in the recording of a non-controlling interest. The measurement of assets and liabilities acquired and non-controlling interest is initially established at a preliminary estimate of fair value, which may be adjusted during the measurement period, primarily due to the results of valuation studies applicable to the business combination.
Acquisitions that do not meet the criteria for the acquisition method of accounting are accounted for as acquisitions of assets.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels, from highest to lowest, are defined as follows:
•Level 1 – Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 – Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments
F-11
TIPTREE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2017
(in thousands, except share data)
in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. The types of financial assets and liabilities carried at level 2 are valued based on one or more of the following:
a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in nonactive markets;
c) Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
d) Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 – Significant inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Company’s own data and assumptions that are used in pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value Option
In addition to the financial instruments the Company is required to measure at fair value, the Company has elected to make an irrevocable election to utilize fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain eligible financial assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The decision to elect the fair value option is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to this guidance are reported separately in our condensed consolidated balance sheets from those instruments using another accounting method.
Recent Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815, does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments -Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), which eliminates the requirement in Topic 323 that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. In addition, the amendments in this Update eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related Parties that Are Under Common Control, which amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity, that is the single decision maker of a VIE, evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this standard affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods and services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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 and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The deferral results in ASU 2014-09 being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which makes targeted improvements to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 focuses primarily on the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. Among its provisions for public business entities, ASU 2016-01 eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, requires the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires the separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the change in fair value of a liability due to instrument-specific credit risk for a liability for which the reporting entity has elected the fair value option, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) and clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for a limited number of provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous leases standard, Leases (Topic 840). The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus net considerations. The effective date and transition requirements for this standard are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. The Update includes targeted improvements based on input the FASB received from the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition and other stakeholders. The Update seeks to proactively address areas in which diversity in practice potentially could arise, as well as to reduce the cost and complexity of applying certain aspects of the guidance both at implementation and on an ongoing basis. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements

at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, which rescinds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Announcement, “Rescission of Certain SEC Staff Observer Comments upon Adoption of Topic 606,” and the SEC Staff Announcement, “Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or Equity,” announced at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting. The Company believes that that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in this Update provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This Update affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLIs) (including bank-owned life insurance policies (BOLIs)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including the adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which addresses classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires an entity’s reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows to include in cash and cash equivalents amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, but an entity will need to disclose the nature of the restrictions. ASU 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 does not change the qualitative assessment; however, it removes “the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.” Instead, all reporting units, even those with a zero or negative carrying amount will apply the same impairment test. Therefore, as the FASB notes in the ASU’s Basis for Conclusions, the goodwill of reporting units with zero or negative carrying values will not be impaired, even when conditions underlying the reporting unit indicate that goodwill is impaired. Entities will, however, be

required to disclose any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and the respective amounts of goodwill allocated to those reporting units. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The new guidance clarifies the scope and accounting of a financial asset that meets the definition of an “in-substance nonfinancial asset” and defines the term, “in-substance nonfinancial asset.” The ASU also adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provided clarity as to what changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and is applied prospectively to changes in terms or conditions of awards occurring on or after the adoption date. The Company will consider the impact that this standard may have on future stock-based payment award modifications should they occur.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the guidance on hedge accounting. The amendment will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting and amend the presentation and disclosure requirements. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU 2017-12 can be adopted immediately in any interim or annual period. The mandatory effective date for calendar year-end public companies is January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
(3) Acquisitions
Acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017
Senior Living
Managed Properties
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, subsidiaries in our senior living business and their partners entered into agreements to acquire and operate two senior living communities for total consideration of $25,999, of which $7,000 was financed through mortgage debt issued in connection with one of the acquisitions, $4,096 was financed by contributions from partners of our subsidiaries and the remainder was paid with cash on hand. Affiliates of the partners provide management services to the communities under management contracts.
The Company provided an advance to the partners of our subsidiary at closing of one of these transactions for $1,036, which was part of their cash contribution for the property. Subsequent to the closing of this transaction, the property was financed with mortgage debt of $10,000. Our partner repaid the advance to the Company with proceeds from this financing, which was split based on the ownership of the property.
The primary reason for the Company’s acquisitions of the senior living communities are to expand its real estate operations. For the period from acquisition until September 30, 2017, revenue and the net loss for the two properties acquired were $4,398 and $1,941, respectively.

(4) Operating Segment Data
The Company has four reportable operating segments, which are: (i) specialty insurance (formally known as insurance and insurance services), (ii) asset management, (iii) senior living (formally known as real estate), and (iv) specialty finance. The Company’s operating segments are organized in a manner that reflects how the chief operating decision maker (CODM) views these strategic business units.
Each reportable segment’s income (loss) is reported before income taxes, discontinued operations and non-controlling interests.
Segment results incorporate the revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries since they commenced operations or were acquired.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company made certain segment realignments in order to conform to the way the CODM internally evaluates segment performance. These realignments primarily consisted of the transfer of principal investments from corporate and other to the specialty insurance and asset management operating segments. As a result, corporate and other is no longer deemed to be an operating segment of the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, $6,808 of pretax income (loss) previously reported in corporate and other was allocated $2,634 and $4,174 to the specialty insurance and asset management operating segments, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, inclusive of what was allocated to the asset management operating segment there was $3,312 of net income (loss) attributable to consolidated CLOs. For the

nine months ended September 30, 2016, $20,160 of pretax income (loss) previously reported in corporate and other was allocated $10,527 and $9,633 to the specialty insurance and asset management operating segments, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, inclusive of what was allocated to the asset management operating segment there was $7,583 of net income (loss) attributable to consolidated CLOs. The Company has reclassified prior period amounts to provide visibility and comparability. This reclassification had no impact on the allocation of goodwill to reporting units. None of these changes impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated net income or earnings per share.
Descriptions of each of the reportable segments are as follows:
Specialty Insurance operations are conducted through Fortegra Financial Corporation (Fortegra), an insurance holding company. Fortegra underwrites and provides specialty insurance products, primarily in the United States, and is a leading provider of credit insurance and asset protection products. Fortegra’s diverse range of products and services include products such as mobile protection, extended warranty and service, debt protection and credit insurance and select niche personal and commercial lines insurance. The specialty insurance investment portfolio also includes results related to corporate loans held at fair value and non-performing residential mortgage loans due to the aforementioned segment realignment.
Asset Management operations are primarily conducted through Telos Asset Management LLC’s (Telos) management of CLOs. Telos is a subsidiary of Tiptree Asset Management Company, LLC (TAMCO), an SEC-registered investment advisor owned by the Company. Results include net income (loss) from consolidated CLOs.
Senior Living operations are conducted through Care Investment Trust LLC (Care) which has a geographically diverse portfolio of seniors housing properties including senior apartments, assisted living, independent living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities in the U.S.
Specialty Finance operations are conducted through Siena Capital Finance LLC (Siena) and the Company’s mortgage businesses, which consist of Luxury and Reliance. The Company’s mortgage origination business originated loans for sale to institutional investors, including GSEs and FHA/VA. Siena’s business consists of structuring asset-based loan facilities across diversified industries.

The Company does not intend to sell the investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017, and management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to hold these securities until full recovery of their amortized cost basis for fixed maturity securities or cost for equity securities. The unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit-related issues. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on the Company's review, none of the fixed maturity or equity securities were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired based on the Company's analysis of the securities and its intent to hold the securities until recovery.
The amortized cost and fair values of investments in debt securities, by contractual maturity date, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Excluded from this table are equity securities since they have no contractual maturity.

The related receivables of these reinsurers are collateralized by assets on hand, assets held in trust accounts and letters of credit. At September 30, 2017, the Company does not believe there is a risk of loss due to the concentration of credit risk in the reinsurance program given the collateralization.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 a subsidiary in our specialty insurance business acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of an insurance company, licensed in several states but having no operations and no net insurance exposures. The purpose of this transaction was to acquire additional licenses to expand the Company’s direct writing capabilities to New York and Wisconsin. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, resulting in $749 recorded as an indefinite life intangible asset for the cost attributed to the insurance licenses.

(9) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its overall investment and hedging activities. Derivative contracts are subject to additional risk that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Company’s derivative activities are primarily classified by underlying credit risk and interest rate risk. In addition, the Company is also subject to additional counterparty risk should its counterparties fail to meet the contract terms. The derivative financial instruments are located within derivative assets at fair value and are reported in other investments. Derivative liabilities are reported within other liabilities and accrued expenses.
Derivatives, at fair value
Credit Derivatives
Credit derivatives are generally defined as over‑the‑counter contracts between a buyer and seller of protection against the risk of default on a set of obligations issued by a specified reference entity.
Credit Default Swap Indices (CDX) are credit derivatives that reference multiple names through underlying baskets or portfolios of single name credit default swaps. The Company enters into these contracts as both a buyer of protection and seller of protection to manage the credit risk exposure of its investment portfolio. At inception of the investment into the CDX position, the Company was required to deposit cash collateral for these positions equal to an initial 2.25% of the notional amount of the sold protection side subject to increase based on additional maintenance margin as a result of decreases in value. As of September 30, 2017, the required collateral balance was $6,668 posted by the Company to cover its liabilities as a seller of protection. As of September 30, 2017, there is a cash collateral balance of $1,632 held by the Company as collateral for the payments due to the Company as buyer of protection, which is netted against the overall investment position.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) in connection with its mortgage banking activities to fund residential mortgage loans with certain terms at specified times in the future. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be classified as held-for-sale are considered derivative instruments under applicable accounting guidance. As such, these IRLCs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value typically resulting in recognition of a gain when the Company enters into IRLCs. In estimating the fair value of an IRLC, the Company assigns a probability that the loan commitment will be exercised and the loan will be funded (“pull through”). The fair value of the commitments is derived from the fair value of related mortgage loans, net of estimated costs to complete. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans underlying the commitments might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan. To manage this risk, the Company utilizes forward delivery contracts and TBA mortgage backed securities to economically hedge the risk of potential changes in the value of the loans that would result from the commitments.
Forward Delivery Contracts
The Company enters into forward delivery contracts with investors to manage the interest rate risk associated with IRLCs and loans held for sale.
TBA Mortgage Backed Securities
The Company enters into to be announced (TBA) mortgage backed securities which facilitate hedging and funding by allowing the Company to prearrange prices for mortgages that are in the process of originating. The Company utilizes these hedging instruments for Agency (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and FHA/VA (Ginnie Mae) eligible IRLCs and typically commit them to investors at prices higher than otherwise available.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk when there is an unfavorable change in the value of investments as a result of adverse movements in the market interest rates. The Company enters into interest rate swaps (IRS) to protect against such adverse movements in interest rates. The Company is required to post collateral for the benefit of the counterparty. This is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of floating rate borrowings. Cash flow hedge accounting was applied to the floating rate borrowings in its specialty insurance business, and during the second quarter of 2016, the Company elected to apply cash flow hedge accounting to such transactions in its senior living business.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
A subsidiary in our specialty insurance business had an IRS with a counterparty, pursuant to which the subsidiary swapped the floating rate portion of its outstanding preferred trust securities to a fixed rate. This IRS was designated as a cash flow hedge and expired in June 2017.
Subsidiaries in our senior living business have IRSs with the same counterparty as the respective lenders, pursuant to which our subsidiary swapped the floating rate portion of its outstanding debt to a fixed rate. These IRSs are designated as cash flow hedges and expire between November 30, 2017 and August 1, 2023.

(10) Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated CLOs
The CLOs are considered variable interest entities (VIE) and the Company consolidates entities when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary under current VIE accounting guidance.
On January 18, 2017, the Company sold its ownership in the subordinated notes of a CLO. As a result of the sale, the Company determined that it no longer had the controlling interest in such entity. The Company, therefore, deconsolidated its ownership in the subordinated notes of the CLO and is no longer reporting the assets and liabilities of the CLO in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, or the revenue and expenses of the CLO in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
On August 10, 2017, the Company’s ownership in the subordinated notes of a CLO was redeemed for cash as part of the complete liquidation of the CLO. The operations of the CLO were consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements through the redemption date.
The table below represents the assets and liabilities of the consolidated CLOs that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated:

The Company’s beneficial interests and maximum exposure to loss related to the consolidated CLOs are limited to (i) ownership in the subordinated notes and related participations in management fees of the CLOs and (ii) accrued management fees. Although these beneficial interests are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative results in the net amount of the CLOs shown above to be equivalent to the beneficial interests retained by the Company as illustrated in the below table:

The following narrative is a summary of certain of the terms of our debt agreements for the periods ended September 30, 2017:
Asset Backed Revolving Financing
An asset backed revolving borrowing in our asset management business entered into an amendment that changed the stated interest from LIBOR plus 2.50%, to LIBOR plus 2.25%, and extended the maturity date from July 2021 to July 2022.
An asset backed revolving borrowing in our specialty finance business increased its maximum borrowing capacity from $125,000 to $150,000 as of September 30, 2017 and also changed its maturing date from October 2019 to October 2020.
An asset backed revolving borrowing in our specialty insurance business with a maximum borrowing capacity of $15,000 matured in April 2017. A new borrowing maturing in April 2019 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.60% and a maximum borrowing capacity of $25,000 was used to pay off the matured borrowing.
Residential Mortgage Warehouse Borrowings
The maximum borrowing amount for three of the six warehouse lines of credit, through subsidiaries in our specialty finance business, decreased by $18,000, from $88,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $70,000 as of September 30, 2017.
The maturity dates for warehouse lines of credit through subsidiaries in our specialty finance business were extended during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. One borrowing extended its maturity from April 2017 to March 2018, one borrowing extended its maturity from June 2017 to March 2018, and two borrowings extended their maturity from June 2017 to June 2018.
Real Estate Commercial Mortgage Borrowings
On February 3, 2017, in connection with an acquisition in the senior living business, the Company along with our partners entered into a $10,000, five year mortgage borrowing, which includes 12 months of interest only payments. The loan carries a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75%. If on or after February 3, 2019 the facility has achieved certain occupancy and minimum debt service coverage ratio, then the interest rate will be reduced to a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% as of such date. This note matures on February 1, 2022.
On February 9, 2017, in connection with assets acquired in the senior living business, a pre-existing Housing and Urban Development (HUD) loan was assumed by a subsidiary in our senior living business. The 35 year loan was originally dated June 1, 2013 for $8,072. The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 3.08% per annum, and matures on July 1, 2048. As of the acquisition date, this debt had a balance of $7,586. All terms of the note assumed remain consistent with the original note.

Covenant Compliance
As of September 30, 2017, the Company is in compliance with the representations and covenants for outstanding borrowings or has obtained waivers for any events of non-compliance.
(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible to measure a financial instrument’s fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and are affected by the type of product, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, as well as current market conditions. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less

observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is estimated by applying the hierarchy discussed in Note—(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s fair value measurement is based primarily on a market approach, which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable financial instruments. Sources of inputs to the market approach include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations and pricing matrices. Management analyzes the third party valuation methodologies and its related inputs to perform assessments to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy and to assess reliability of values. Further, management has a process in place to review all changes in fair value that occurred during each measurement period. Any discrepancies or unusual observations are followed through to resolution through the source of the pricing as well as utilizing comparisons, if applicable, to alternate pricing sources. In addition, the Company utilizes an income approach to measure the fair value of NPLs, as discussed below.
The Company utilizes observable and unobservable inputs within its valuation methodologies. Observable inputs may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. In addition, specific issuer information and other market data is used. Broker quotes are obtained from sources recognized to be market participants. Unobservable inputs may include: expected cash flow streams, default rates, supply and demand considerations and market volatility.
Available for Sale Securities
Available for sale securities are generally classified within either Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service and a third party investment manager who provide a single price or quote per security.
The following details the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of available for sale securities and the applicable level each security falls within the fair value hierarchy:
U.S Treasury Securities, Obligations of U.S. Government Authorities and Agencies, Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions, Corporate Securities, Asset-Backed Securities, and Obligations of Foreign Governments: Fair values were obtained from an independent pricing service and a third party investment manager. The prices provided by the independent pricing service are based on quoted market prices, when available, non-binding broker quotes, or matrix pricing and fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Certificates of Deposit: The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit approximate carrying value and fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity Securities: The fair values of publicly traded common and preferred stocks were obtained from market value quotations provided by an independent pricing service and fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of non-publicly traded common and preferred stocks were based on prices obtained from an independent pricing service using unobservable inputs and fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans, at fair value
Corporate Loans (including those of consolidated CLOs): These loans are comprised of a diversified portfolio of middle market and broadly syndicated leveraged loans and are generally classified within either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has evaluated each loan’s respective liquidity and has additionally performed valuation benchmarking. The key characteristics which were evaluated as part of this determination were liquidity ratings, price changes to index benchmarks, depth of quotes, credit ratings and industry trends.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and fair value is based upon forward sales contracts with third party investors, including estimated loan costs, and reserves. For non-performing mortgage loans held for sale, fair value is based upon estimated selling prices from third party investors of such types of loans.
Nonperforming Loans and REO: The Company determines the purchase price for NPLs at the time of acquisition and for each subsequent valuation by using a discounted cash flow valuation model and considering alternate loan resolution probabilities, including modification, liquidation, or conversion to REO. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our NPLs are discount rates, loan resolution timeline, and the value of underlying properties. The fair values of NPLs which are making payments (generally based on a modification or a workout plan) are primarily based upon secondary market transaction prices, which are expressed as a percentage of unpaid principal balance (UPB). Observable inputs to the model include loan amounts, payment history, and property types. Our NPLs are on nonaccrual status at the time of purchase as it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible. NPLs are included in loans, at fair value and fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
NPLs that have become REOs were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016. The carrying value of REOs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $13,079 and $13,366, respectively. Upon conversion to REO, the fair value is estimated using broker price opinion (BPO). BPOs are subject to judgments of a particular broker formed by visiting a property, assessing general home values in an area, reviewing comparable listings, and reviewing comparable completed sales. These judgments may vary among brokers and may fluctuate over time based on housing market activities and the influx of additional comparable listings and sales. REO is included in real estate, net.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives are comprised of credit default swaps (CDS), index credit default swaps (CDX), interest rate lock commitments (IRLC), to be announced mortgage backed securities (TBA) and interest rate swaps (IRS). The fair value of these instruments is based upon valuation pricing models, which represent the amount the Company would expect to receive or pay at the balance sheet date to exit the position. In general, the fair value of CDSs and CDXs are based on dealer quotes. Because significant inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are used to determine the dealer quotes, such as price volatility, the Company classifies them as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of IRS is based upon either valuation pricing models, which represent the amount the Company would expect to pay at the balance sheet date if the contracts were exited, or by obtaining broker or counterparty quotes. Because there are observable inputs used to arrive at these prices, the Company has classified IRS within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries issue IRLCs to its customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to the value of the underlying loan associated with the IRLC net of costs to produce and an expected fall out assumption. The fair values of these commitments generally result in a Level 3 classification. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries manage their exposure by entering into forward delivery commitments with loan investors. For loans not locked with investors under a forward delivery commitment, the Company enters into hedge instruments, primarily TBAs, to protect against movements in interest rates. The fair values of TBA mortgage backed securities generally result in a Level 2 classification.

(2) | Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the fair value measurement. A decline in the discount rate in isolation would increase the fair value. A decrease in the housing pricing index in isolation would decrease the fair value. Individual loan characteristics, such as location and value of underlying collateral, affect the loan resolution timeline. An increase in the loan resolution timeline in isolation would decrease the fair value. A decrease in the value of underlying properties in isolation would decrease the fair value. |
The following table sets forth quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of our NPLs. For NPLs that are not making payments, discount rate, loan resolution time-line, value of underlying properties, holdings costs and liquidation costs are the primary inputs used to measure fair value. For NPLs that are making payments, note rate and secondary market transaction prices/UPB are the primary inputs used to measure fair value.

Notes and Accounts Receivable: To the extent that carrying amounts differ from fair value, fair value is determined based on contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar credits. Categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt: The carrying value represents the total debt balance at face value excluding the unamortized discount. The fair value of notes payable is determined based on contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for mortgage notes payable and either dealer quotes or contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for other notes payable.

Additionally, the following financial assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are not carried at fair value, but whose carrying amounts approximate their fair value:
Loans Owned, at Amortized Cost: The fair value of loans owned, at amortized cost approximates its carrying value because the interest rates on the loans are based on a variable market interest rate. Categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Accounts and Premiums Receivable, net, retrospective commissions receivable and other receivables: The carrying amounts approximate fair value since no interest rate is charged on these short duration assets. Categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note—(6) Notes and Accounts Receivable, net.
Due from Brokers, Dealers, and Trustees and Due to Brokers, Dealers and Trustees: The carrying amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities and accrued expenses and approximate their fair value due to their short‑term nature. Categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(17) Stockholders’ Equity
All shares of our Class A common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, dividends and voting. Shares of Class B common stock have the voting rights as the Class A common stock but no economic rights (including no right to receive dividends or other distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or otherwise). Distributions may be paid to holders of Class A common stock when duly authorized by our board of directors and declared out of legally available assets.
TFP owns a warrant to purchase 652,500 shares of Class A common stock at $11.33 per share which is immediately exercisable and expires on September 30, 2018. Such an exercise would be accounted for as treasury stock held at TFP and would have no impact on Tiptree’s financial statements.
On June 5, 2017, in settlement of an option, TFP delivered 1,510,920 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to Tricadia for total consideration of approximately $8,100.
On June 21, 2017, a subsidiary of Tiptree purchased 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Tiptree for aggregate consideration of $7,300. The shares acquired are accounted for as treasury shares and therefore are not outstanding for accounting or voting purposes.
On August 10, 2017, the Company settled a contingent consideration payable related to the acquisition of Reliance in 2015 with 756,046 shares of Class A common stock.

Statutory Reporting and Insurance Company Subsidiaries Dividend Restrictions
The Company's insurance company subsidiaries may pay dividends to the Company, subject to statutory restrictions. Payments in excess of statutory restrictions (extraordinary dividends) to the Company are permitted only with prior approval of the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. The Company eliminated all dividends from its subsidiaries in the condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company’s insurance company subsidiaries did not pay any ordinary or extraordinary dividends.
The following table presents the combined statutory capital and surplus of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries, the required minimum statutory capital and surplus, as required by the laws of the states in which they are domiciled, and the combined amount available for ordinary dividends of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries for the following periods:
As of | |||||||
September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | ||||||
Combined statutory capital and surplus of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries | $ | 108,666 | $ | 100,920 | |||
Required minimum statutory capital and surplus | $ | 19,200 | $ | 17,200 | |||
Amount available for ordinary dividends of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries | $ | 9,425 | $ | 9,049 |
At September 30, 2017, the maximum amount of dividends that our regulated insurance company subsidiaries could pay under applicable laws and regulations without regulatory approval was approximately $9,425. The Company may seek regulatory approval to pay dividends in excess of this permitted amount, but there can be no assurance that the Company would receive regulatory approval if sought.
Under the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Risk-Based Capital Act of 1995, a company's Risk-Based Capital (RBC) is calculated by applying certain risk factors to various asset, claim and reserve items. If a company's adjusted surplus falls below calculated RBC thresholds, regulatory intervention or oversight is required. The Company's insurance company subsidiaries' RBC levels, as calculated in accordance with the NAIC’s RBC instructions, exceeded all RBC thresholds as of September 30, 2017.

The general purpose of the 2017 Equity Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees and directors for the Company and its subsidiaries, to provide them with incentives and rewards for performance and to better align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
Generally, the Tiptree RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one-third of Tiptree shares granted on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant, and expensed using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
The following table summarizes changes to the issuances of Class A common stock and RSUs under the 2017 Equity Plan for the periods indicated:
Number of shares issuable | Weighted average grant date fair value | ||||||
Unvested units as of December 31, 2016 | 299,817 | $ | 6.27 | ||||

Unvested units as of September 30, 2017 | 598,882 | $ | 6.48 |
(1) Includes grants of 27,192 shares of Class A common stock to directors.
The Company values RSUs at their grant-date fair value as measured by Tiptree’s common stock price. Included in vested shares for 2017 are 16,716 shares surrendered to pay taxes on behalf of the employees with shares vesting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 427,488 RSUs to employees of the Company. 142,175 shares vest ratably over a period of three years that began in February 2017 and the remaining 285,313 shares will cliff vest in February 2020.
Subsidiary Incentive Plans
Certain of Tiptree’s subsidiaries have established RSU programs under which they are authorized to issue RSUs or their equivalents, representing equity of such subsidiaries to certain of their employees. Such awards are accounted for as equity. These RSUs are subject to performance-vesting criteria based on the performance of the subsidiary (performance vesting RSUs) and time-vesting subject to continued employment (time vesting RSUs). Following the service period, such vested RSUs may be exchanged at fair market value, at the option of the holder, for Tiptree Class A common stock under the 2017 Equity Plan.

The Company has the option, but not the obligation to settle the exchange right in shares or cash.
The following table summarizes changes to the issuances of subsidiary RSU’s under the subsidiary incentive plans for the periods indicated:
Grant date fair value of equity shares issuable | ||||
Unvested balance as of December 31, 2016 | $ | 8,089 | ||
Vested | (2,436 | ) | ||
Grant value adjustment (1) | (210 | ) | ||
Unvested balance as of September 30, 2017 (2) | $ | 5,443 |
(1) Due to the approval of the 2017 Equity Plan, Tiptree changed the classification of the subsidiary RSU’s during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from liability to equity awards, because the Company expects to settle these awards in stock.
(2) The unvested balance translates to 1,093,139 shares of Class A common stock if converted as of September 30, 2017.
Stock Options
Option awards have been granted to the Executive Committee with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant; those option awards have a 10-year term and are subject the recipient’s continuous service, a market requirement, and generally vest over five years beginning on the 3rd anniversary of the grant date. Options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016 contained a market requirement that, at any time during the option term, the 20-day volume weighted average stock price must exceed the December 31, 2015 book value per share. Options granted in 2017 contained a market requirement that, at any time during the option term, the 20-day volume weighted average stock price plus the sum of actual cash dividends paid must exceed the December 31, 2016 as exchanged book value per share. The market requirement may be met any time before the option expires and it only needs to be met once for the option to remain exercisable for the remainder of its term. If the service condition is met, the full amount of the compensation expense will be recognized over the appropriate vesting period whether the market requirement is met or not.
The fair value option grants are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula embedded within a Monte Carlo model used to simulate the future stock prices of the Company, which assumes that the market requirement is achieved. Historical volatility was computed based on historical daily returns of the Company’s stock between the grant date and July 1, 2013, the date of the business combination through which Tiptree became a public company. The valuation is done under a risk-neutral framework using the 10-year zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve on the grant date. The current quarterly dividend rates in effect as of the date of the grant are used to calculate a spot dividend yield as of the date of grant for use in the model.
The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted for the following period:
Valuation Input | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 | ||||
Assumption | Average | ||||
Historical volatility | 47.20 | % | N/A | ||
Risk-free rate | 2.44 | % | N/A | ||

(BOSG) entered into an administrative services agreement on June 12, 2007 (Administrative Services Agreement), which was assigned to Tiptree on July 1, 2013 in connection with the Contribution Transactions, under which BOSG provided certain back office, administrative and accounting services to the Company and its subsidiaries. BOSG is an affiliate of Mariner Investment Group (Mariner). As of June 30, 2016, the Company has concluded that Mariner no longer meets the definition of a related party. This agreement was terminated on December 31, 2016.
Payments under the TSA and Administrative Services Agreement in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were not material.

(2) Lower than the federal statutory income tax rate, primarily due a change in fair value of a contingent consideration liability, an increase in a valuation allowance on net operating losses, and various other discrete items. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 excluding the effect of discrete items was 28.1%, which is lower than the federal statutory income tax rate, primarily due to a state tax benefit and the effect of non-controlling interests at certain subsidiaries.
(3) Lower than the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to $4,044 of discrete tax benefits for the period, primarily related to the tax restructuring that resulted in a consolidated corporate tax group effective January 1, 2016.

In August 2017, Tiptree entered into a lease for office space. The terms of the lease are $2,322 per annum for five years starting on the one year anniversary of the commencement date. Upon the six year anniversary of the commencement date, the lease escalates to $2,520 per annum for five years. The expected commencement date is July 1, 2018.
In addition, Tiptree’s subsidiary Siena issues standby letters of credit for credit enhancements that are required by its borrower’s respective businesses. As of September 30, 2017, there was $400 outstanding relating to these letters of credit.
Litigation
The Company is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., which was filed in February 2006, in the Pike Circuit Court, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A class was certified in June 2010. At issue is the duration or term of coverage under certain disability and life credit insurance policies. The action alleges violations of the Consumer Protection Act and certain insurance statutes, as well as common law fraud and seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and interest. To date, the court has not awarded sanctions in connection with Plaintiffs’ April 2012 Motion for Sanctions. In January 2015,

(in thousands, except share data)
the trial court issued an Order denying Fortegra’s motion to decertify the class, which was upheld on appeal. Following a February 2017 hearing, the court denied Fortegra’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to certain disability insurance policies but has not yet ruled on such motion with respect to the life insurance policies at issue. In June, a new Special Master was appointed. No trial or hearings are currently scheduled.
The Company considers such litigation customary in the insurance industry. In management's opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of the Company. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards, bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
(23) Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic net income per Class A common share based on the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding (inclusive of vested restricted share units). The unvested restricted share units have the non-forfeitable right to participate in dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common stock on an as vested basis and are therefore considered a participating security. The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the “two-class” method, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the income available to common stockholders was allocated to the unvested restricted stock units.
Diluted net income per Class A common shares for the period includes the effect of potential equity of subsidiaries as well as potential Class A common stock, if dilutive. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the assumed exercise of all dilutive instruments were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were not included in the diluted net income per Class A common share calculation.

On October 16, 2017, Fortegra completed a private placement offering of $125,000 of 8.50% Fixed Rate Resetting Junior Subordinated Notes due 2057 (the “Notes”). Substantially all of the net proceeds from the Notes were used to repay Fortegra’s existing credit facility, which was terminated thereafter. The Notes, which are issued under an indenture, are the unsecured obligations of Fortegra and rank in right of payment and upon liquidation, junior to all of Fortegra’s current and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are not obligations of or guaranteed by any of Fortegra’s subsidiaries or any other Tiptree entities. So long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing, Fortegra may defer all or part of the interest payments on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years per deferral period. The indenture governing the Notes contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is presented in this section as follows:
• | Overview |
• | Results of Operations |
• | Non-GAAP Reconciliations |
• | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
• | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates |
• | Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
OVERVIEW
Tiptree is a holding company focused on enhancing shareholder value by generating consistent and growing earnings at our operating companies. Our strategy employs a differentiated model, where we combine a specialty insurance underwriting platform with our broader asset management and capital allocation capabilities, which we believe distinguishes us from many other insurance companies. When considering capital allocation decisions, we take a diversified approach, looking across sectors, geographies and asset classes, all with a longer-term horizon for our businesses and investments. We evaluate our performance primarily by the comparison of our shareholder’s long-term total return on capital, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA and growth in book value per share plus dividends paid.
We currently have four reporting segments: specialty insurance, asset management, senior living, and specialty finance. Corporate and other primarily contains corporate expenses not allocated to the operating businesses. See Note—(4) Operating Segment Data, in the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information regarding our segments. Since different factors affect the financial condition and results of operation of each segment, the following discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis.
Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and GDP growth, market liquidity and volatility, consumer confidence, U.S. demographics, employment and wage growth, business confidence and investment, inflation, interest rates and spreads, the impact of the regulatory environment, and the other factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Generally, our businesses are positively affected by a healthy U.S. consumer, stable to gradually rising interest rates, stable markets and business conditions and the aging U.S. population. Conversely, rising unemployment, volatile markets, rapidly rising interest rates and slowing business conditions can have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our specialty insurance results primarily depend on the appropriateness of our pricing, underwriting, risk retention and the accuracy of our methodology for the establishment of reserves for future policyholder benefits and claims, the returns on and values of invested assets, and our ability to estimate policy and contract renewals and run-off. While our insurance operations have historically maintained a high percentage of fees to total revenue and a relatively stable combined ratio which support steady earnings, our initiatives to change our business mix along with economic factors could generate different results than we have historically seen. In our senior living operations, occupancy levels and operational costs could impact margins. While the aging demographics of the U.S. population generally favor seniors housing in the long term, in the short term, imbalances in the supply and demand for available units could dampen occupancy levels and competition for qualified employees could increase payroll costs. In our asset management segment, improving business conditions and growing corporate loan demand, especially from small to medium sized businesses has generally supported growth in AUM. Slowing economic growth and/or economic uncertainty could reduce business investment and loan demand, slowing the growth in AUM and associated fees. Risk retention rules mandated by Dodd-Frank has also impacted our formation of new CLOs, while pressure to reduce management fees in more recent CLOs has slowed management fee growth.
Our profitability is affected by net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Our invested assets are held principally in fixed maturity securities, equity securities, loans, CLOs, credit investment funds, and senior living related assets. Many of our investments are held at fair value. Changes in fair value of this latter category are reported quarterly as unrealized gains or losses in revenues and can be impacted by changes in interest rates, credit risk, or market risk, including specific company or industry factors. Credit risk can impact our financial results in a number of ways, including the performance of our corporate loans, mortgage loans, holdings in CLO subordinated notes and other investments. When credit markets are performing well, loans held in our CLOs and credit fund investments may prepay, subjecting those investments to reinvestment risk. In deteriorating credit environments, default risk can impact the performance of our investments, as well as flowing through income as unrealized losses. Disruption in the credit markets can also impact our ability to raise third party funds to invest and grow our asset management fees. Our equity holdings are relatively concentrated. General equity market trends, along with company and industry specific factors can impact the fair value of our holdings and can result in unrealized gains and losses affecting our results.
1
Our business is also impacted in various ways by changes in interest rates. In addition to the impact interest rates can have on the fair value of the assets, interest rates can also impact the volume and revenues in our specialty finance business. In addition, most of our subsidiaries use debt financing to fund their business activities, much of which is floating rate debt, and the majority of which have LIBOR floors, LIBOR floors can result in a reduction in net interest margins in a declining interest rate environment, if earnings on our assets do not have similar floors or are based on different benchmarks than LIBOR, such as treasury rates or the prime rate. Certain of our subsidiaries have also entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix all or a portion of their interest rate exposure which are currently designated as hedging relationships for accounting purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a summary of consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated and segment basis, and book value per share, as exchanged, as measurements of operating performance which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance, and to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. Book value per share, as exchanged assumes full exchange of the limited partners units of TFP for Tiptree Class A common stock. Management believes the use of this financial measure provides supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze company growth on a relative per share basis.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported revenues of $164.5 million, an increase of $32.4 million, or 24.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenues were $486.3 million, an increase of $91.2 million, or 23.1%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary drivers of the increase in revenues for the three and nine months were growth in earned premiums and net investment income in our specialty insurance segment, increases in rental income attributable to acquisitions of seniors housing properties and improved specialty finance originations margins, partially offset by reduced service and administrative fees, ceding commissions, and unrealized losses, as compared to prior period gains, in our specialty insurance segment investment portfolio.
Net Income before non-controlling interests
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.4 million compared to net income of $7.8 million in the 2016 period. The primary drivers of the decline were the unrealized losses in our specialty insurance investment portfolio in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to unrealized gains in the 2016 period, run-off in our older vintage CLOs
2
resulting in reduced management fees, and reduced CLO distributions as the Company reduced its investments over the last twelve months.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.4 million compared to net income of $22.3 million in the 2016 period, a decrease of $29.6 million. The decline was primarily a result of the unrealized losses in our specialty insurance investment portfolio in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to unrealized gains in the prior period, combined with increased stock-based compensation expense in the specialty insurance segment and an increase in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability associated with our Reliance acquisition. These drivers were partially offset by reduced losses in our senior living and improved operating results in our specialty finance segments, excluding the impact of the Reliance earn-out. Additionally, the tax provision has increased year-over-year as a result of a $4.0 million tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2016 which was driven by the tax reorganization effective January 1, 2016. A discussion of the changes in revenues, expenses and net income is presented below and in more detail in our segment analysis.
The following table highlights certain non-cash, key drivers impacting our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. We believe highlighting these significant, non-cash items provides useful additional information to investors. As we mentioned above, our investments are focused on a longer term investment horizon. In addition, our equity securities holdings are relatively concentrated, and are carried at fair value and marked to market through the current reporting period. As a result, we expect our earnings relating to these securities to be relatively volatile between periods in contrast to our fixed income securities, which are marked to market through AOCI, which is more consistent with the treatment used by other insurance companies. In order for investors to be able to compare the returns of both types of investments, and to the portfolio performance of other insurance companies, we are highlighting the impact attributable to the unrealized and realized gains (losses) on equity securities in the table below.
We have also highlighted the impact of stock based compensation on the two periods below. Since a significant portion of our stock based compensation is performance based, and vests over multiple years, we believe that providing this information separately to investors allows them to evaluate the alignment of non-cash compensation to management, both at the holding company and at certain of our subsidiaries, with our overall performance trends.
In connection with our acquisition of Reliance, a portion of the purchase price was contingent on Reliance’s performance in the three years post acquisition, payable in Tiptree stock to the sellers. That contingent purchase price is carried as a liability on our balance sheet and is re-valued in each period. Increases or decreases in each period flow through the income statement, and are not deductible for tax purposes. Given Reliance’s performance over the latest performance measurement period, the contingent earn-out liability has increased, with the incremental value treated as an added expense in our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Lastly, depreciation and amortization has increased, primarily as a result of additional acquisitions at Care, partially offset by the reduction in VOBA at Fortegra. Because we carry our real estate assets at original cost, and our strategy at Care is to purchase properties that require actions to improve their performance, we believe that highlighting the impact depreciation and amortization have on Tiptree’s overall results period over period, and on the carrying value of our real estate assets, is useful additional information for investors.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Class A Common Stockholders
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net loss available to Class A common stockholders was $3.1 million, a decrease of $9.0 million from the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net income available to Class A common stockholders was $6.5 million, a decrease of $24.1 million from the prior year period. The key drivers of net income available to Class A common stockholders were the same factors which impacted the net income before non-controlling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA
3
Total Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.8 million compared to $20.1 million for the 2016 period, a decrease of $15.3 million, or 76.0%. Total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $23.3 million compared to $52.9 million for the 2016 period, a decrease of $29.5 million, or 55.8%. The key drivers of the change in Adjusted EBITDA were the same as those which impacted our net income, excluding the increase in the Reliance earn-out and the year-over-year change in the tax provision. See “— Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.
Book Value per share, as exchanged
As exchanged book value per share for the period ended September 30, 2017 was $9.67, down from $9.93 as of September 30, 2016. The key drivers of the year-over-year impact were increases from trailing twelve month diluted earnings per share and re-purchases of 1.0 million shares at an average 28% discount to book value. Those increases were more than offset by cumulative dividends paid of $0.115, officer and director compensation share issuances over the last twelve months and the exercise of the Tricadia Option in June 2017 resulting in 1.5 million shares being issued at $5.36 per share. Given the strike price of the option, the impact was a $0.19 reduction to book value per share.
Results by Segment
Effective December 31, 2016, Tiptree realigned the principal investments formerly reported in the corporate and other segment into their new reportable segments to align with the Company’s operating strategy. The table below reflects the credit and equity investments contributed to our insurance subsidiary in the specialty insurance segment and the CLO subordinated notes and related warehouse income in the asset management segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Specialty Insurance
Fortegra is a specialty insurance company that offers asset protection products through niche commercial and personal lines of insurance. We also offer administration and fronting services for our self-insured clients who own captive producer owned reinsurance companies (“PORCs”).
Our specialty insurance business generates income from insurance underwriting operations and an investment portfolio. Insurance underwriting operations revenues are primarily generated from net premiums, service and administrative fees and ceding commissions. We measure insurance underwriting operations performance by as adjusted underwriting margin, combined ratio and Adjusted
4
EBITDA. The investment portfolio income consists of investment income, gains and losses and is measured by net portfolio income which is the equivalent of Adjusted EBITDA.

Our specialty insurance segment is currently expanding product lines in an effort to increase the duration of our products and increase investable assets. As part of this process, the business is investing in products and people to grow warranty and program products, while maintaining a leading position in the credit protection space. That, combined with the earnings performance of the investment portfolio, are key drivers in comparing 2017 versus 2016 results. The combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenue on the balance sheet are key indicators of volume growth and contract duration extension which over the trailing twelve months has increased by 12.7% from $469.3 million as of September 30, 2016 to $529.0 million as of September 30, 2017.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, our captive reinsurance subsidiary replaced a third party as reinsurer of certain credit protection products, thus avoiding reinsurance costs and gaining additional investment flexibility. This transaction was consistent with our strategy to grow underwriting and investment profits at our specialty insurance subsidiaries. As a result, several income statement line items increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to prior periods including earned premiums, commission expense and policy and contract benefits, partially offset by the decline in ceding commissions.
The application of push-down accounting to the acquisition of Fortegra resulted in purchase price accounting adjustments (Value of Business Acquired or “VOBA”) whereby deferred service and administrative fees and costs associated with deferred commission expense on acquired contracts were recognized differently from those related to newly originated contracts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the VOBA impacts on pre-tax income were modest at $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Where significant to the period over period comparisons of revenue and expense, VOBA impacts are discussed separately below.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the specialty insurance segment incurred a pre-tax loss of $2.3 million, a decrease of $13.0 million over the prior year operating results. The primary drivers of the decline in results were associated with our investment portfolio including a period-over-period reduction in net realized and unrealized gains and losses of $12.3 million, increases in interest expense of $1.2 million primarily associated with asset-based interest expense in the investment portfolio, partially offset by increases in net investment income of $0.5 million. From insurance operations, underwriting margins were up $3.1 million compared to prior year partially offset by increases in employee payroll and compensation of $0.9 million and increases in other expenses of $2.2 million related to premium tax related to the growth in written premiums.
Pre-tax income was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $33.9 million, or 95.2%, over the prior year operating results. The primary drivers of the decline in results were associated with our investment portfolio including period-over-period reductions in net realized and unrealized gains and losses of $26.4 million, increases in interest expense of $4.5 million primarily associated with asset-based interest expense in the investment portfolio, partially offset by increases in net investment

income of $3.6 million. Insurance operations results were down versus prior year driven primarily by increases in stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and increased other expenses of $4.0 million primarily related to premium tax, which was partially offset by increased underwriting margin of $2.4 million.
Revenues
Revenues are generated by the sale of the following insurance products: credit protection, warranty, programs, services and other. Credit protection products include credit life, credit disability, credit property, involuntary unemployment, and accidental death and dismemberment. Warranty products include mobile device protection, furniture and appliance service contracts and auto service contracts. Programs are primarily personal and commercial lines and other property-casualty products. Earned premiums associated with these products are recognized over the life of these contracts. Services and other revenues principally represent investment income, unrealized and realized gains and losses, fees for insurance sales and business process outsourcing services, and interest for premium financing, and also include the impact to fee income, ceding commissions, and commissions expense from the purchase accounting effect of VOBA related to the insurance contracts.
Total revenues were $118.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, up $36.1 million, or 43.7%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in earned premiums of $48.5 million, or 101.8%, which were partially offset by decreases in service and administrative fees of $1.8 million, or 7.1%, and ceding commissions of $1.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total revenues were $351.7 million, up $83.0 million, or 30.9%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in earned premiums of $134.3 million, or 96.9%, and other income of $0.9 million, which were partially offset by decreases in service and administrative fees of $13.6 million, or 16.1%, and ceding commissions of $15.8 million. For both periods, the increase in earned premiums was driven by growth in our credit protection and warranty products with the primary driver being our captive reinsurance subsidiary replacing a third party as reinsurer of certain credit protection products. Ceding commissions declines are consistent with this strategy to retain a higher portion of written business which results in less revenues from experience refunds. Service and administrative fees are lower year-over-year primarily from a reduction in fee-related revenues on our mobile protection and roadside assistance products.
The revenues on the investment portfolio, including net investment income and realized and unrealized gains, were a loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income of $7.1 million in the 2016 period, a decrease of $11.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenues on the investment portfolio, including net investment income and realized and unrealized gains, were a loss of $1.6 million compared to $21.2 million of income in the 2016 period, a decrease of $22.8 million. See “—Specialty Insurance Investment Portfolio” for further discussion of the investment results.
Expenses
Total expenses include policy and contract benefits, commissions expense and operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total expenses were $121.1 million compared to $72.0 million in the 2016 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total expenses were $350.0 million compared to $233.1 million in the 2016 period. The primary drivers of the increase were policy and contract benefits and commission expense as net written premiums increased over the 2016 period.
There are two types of expenses for claims payments under insurance and warranty service contracts which are included in policy and contract benefits: member benefit claims and net losses and loss adjustment expenses. Member benefit claims represent the costs of services and replacement devices incurred in car club and warranty protection service contracts. Net losses and loss adjustment expenses represent actual insurance claims paid, changes in unpaid claim reserves, net of amounts ceded, and the costs of administering claims for credit life and other insurance lines, such as non-standard auto. Incurred claims are impacted by loss frequency, which is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity, which is based on the average size of claims. Factors affecting loss frequency and loss severity include changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, economic conditions, morbidity patterns and the attitudes of claimants towards settlements. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, policy and contract benefits were $31.6 million, up $5.7 million from the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, policy and contract benefits were $94.4 million, up $21.9 million from the prior year primarily as a result of increased retention in our credit protection and program products.
Commission expense is incurred on most product lines, the majority of which are retrospective commissions paid to distributors and retailers selling our products, including credit insurance policies, motor club memberships, mobile device protection and warranty service contracts. Credit insurance commission rates are, in many cases, set by state regulators and are also impacted by market conditions and retention levels. Total commission expense for three months ended September 30, 2017 was $63.1 million compared to $24.0 million in 2016. Total commission expense for nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $176.4 million compared to $91.9 million in 2016. The primary drivers of the increase were the commission expense associated with the higher retention rate on our credit protection products along with VOBA purchase accounting impacts.

Operating expenses are composed of employee compensation and benefits, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, operating expenses were $26.4 million compared to $22.1 million in the 2016 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, operating expenses were $79.2 million compared to $68.8 million in the 2016 period. The increases for the three and nine months were driven primarily by increased stock-based compensation, increased premium taxes as written premiums grow, and increased interest expense on asset based borrowings within the insurance investment portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 total employee compensation and benefits were $30.8 million, up $2.7 million from 2016 primarily as a result of increased stock based compensation expense. Interest expense of $10.5 million in nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $4.5 million versus the prior year, primarily from increased asset based borrowings on certain investments within the investment portfolio. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $28.3 million, up $4.0 million from 2016 primarily as a result of increased premium taxes as written and earned premiums grew. Depreciation and amortization expense was lower year-over-year as a result of the decline in VOBA purchase accounting impact from the amortization of the fair value attributed to the insurance policies and contracts acquired, which was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus $3.0 million for the prior year period. This was partially offset by amortization of other intangibles including customer relationships and trade names.
Insurance Operating Ratios
We use the combined ratio as an insurance operating metric to evaluate our underwriting performance, both overall and relative to peers. Expressed as a percentage, it represents the relationship of policy and contract benefits, commission expense (net of ceding commissions), employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses to net earned premiums, service and administrative fees, and other income. Investors use this ratio to evaluate our ability to profitably underwrite the risks we assume over time and manage our operating costs. A combined ratio less than 100% indicates an underwriting profit, while a combined ratio greater than 100% reflects an underwriting loss. Since VOBA purchase accounting adjustments impact revenues and expenses related to acquired contracts differently from newly originated, we also show the combined ratio on an as adjusted basis, eliminating the accounting effects of VOBA. Management believes showing an as adjusted combined ratio provides useful information to investors to compare period-over-period operating results. Following is a summary of these performance metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The as adjusted combined ratios were 92.8% and 93.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 89.4% and 88.5% for the corresponding prior year periods. The increases across both the three and nine months were driven primarily by the higher retention impacting underwriting margins and higher premium tax, combined with the increased stock based compensation mentioned above. These factors caused the combined ratio to deteriorate modestly in the nine month period.
Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Operating Results
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.3 million and $15.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $14.2 million and $45.6 million for the comparable prior year periods. Net portfolio income from the investment portfolio was a loss of $6.4 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to income of $6.4 million and $19.5 million in the respective prior year periods. Adjusted EBITDA from insurance underwriting operations was $8.7 million and $22.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $7.9 million and $26.1 million for the respective prior year periods. The increase for the three months and decrease for the nine months were driven by the same factors discussed above under “Results.” See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.
Gross & Net Written Premiums
Gross written premiums represents total premiums from insurance policies and warranty service contracts that we write during a reporting period based on the effective date of the individual policy. Net written premiums are gross written premiums less that portion of premiums that we cede to third party reinsurers or the PORCs under reinsurance agreements. The amount ceded to each reinsurer
7
is based on the contractual formula contained in the individual reinsurance agreements. Net earned premiums are the earned portion of our net written premiums. We earn insurance premiums on a pro-rata basis over the term of the policy. At the end of each reporting period, premiums written that are not earned are classified as unearned premiums, which are earned in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy.
Product Underwriting Margin - Non-GAAP
The following tables present product specific revenue and expenses within the specialty insurance segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As mentioned above, we generally limit the underwriting risk we assume through the use of both reinsurance (e.g., quota share and excess of loss) and retrospective commission agreements with our partners (e.g., commissions paid adjust based on the actual underlying losses incurred), which manage and mitigate our risk. Period-over-period comparisons of revenues are often impacted by the PORCs and distribution partners choice as to whether to retain risk, specifically with respect to the relationship between service and administration expenses and ceding commissions, both components of revenue, and the offsetting policy and contract benefits and commissions paid to our partners and reinsurers. Generally, when losses are incurred, the risk which is retained by our partners and reinsurers is reflected in a reduction in commissions paid. In order to better explain to investors the net financial impact of the risk retained by the Company of the insurance contracts written and the impact on profitability, we use the Non-GAAP metric - As Adjusted Underwriting Margin. For the same reasons that we adjust our combined ratio for the effects of purchase accounting, VOBA impacts can also mask the actual relationship between revenues earned and the offsetting reductions in commissions paid, and thus the period-over-period net financial impact of the risk retained by the Company. As such, we believe that presenting underwriting margin provides useful information to investors and aligns more closely to how management measures the underwriting performance of the business.

Total gross written premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $209.2 million, an increase of $27.8 million, or 15.3%, from the prior year period. The amount of business retained was 56.9%, up from 30.9% in the prior year period as the Company retained more risk in 2017 than 2016. Total net premiums written were $119.0 million, up $63.0 million over prior year, or 112.5%. Credit protection net premiums written for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $96.4 million, higher than the prior year period by $65.4 million. The increase in retention and net written premiums was consistent with the Company’s strategy and was largely driven by our captive reinsurer retaining credit protection products as discussed above. Warranty product net written premiums were $17.2 million, up $4.1 million and program products were $5.4 million, down $6.5 million from prior year period, primarily driven by the run-off of certain non-standard auto programs.
As adjusted underwriting margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $28.5 million, up from $24.7 million in 2016. Credit protection increased by $2.4 million primarily from increased product retention over 2016. Warranty increased by $1.5 million driven by increased policies written for furniture, appliances and auto products. The amount of warranty product ceded year-over-year increased as we enter new products and continue to build our underwriting performance and relationships with distributors. Programs written premiums declined as we continue to run-off non-core specialty programs that did not meet underwriting performance standards. We believe there are additional opportunities to expand our warranty and programs insurance business model to other niche products and markets.

Total gross written premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $560.6 million, which represented an increase of $20.3 million, or 3.8%, from the prior year period. The amount of business retained was 53.9%, up from 28.2% in the prior year period. Total net premiums written for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $302.3 million, up $149.9 million, or 98.4%. Credit protection net premiums written for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $238.7 million, higher than the prior year period by $148.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, warranty product net written premiums were $44.6 million, up $9.6 million from 2016 and program products were $19.0 million, down $8.1 million from the 2016 period. The factors that drove the variances were the same for the three and nine months.
As adjusted underwriting margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $81.4 million, up from $79.1 million in 2016. Credit protection as adjusted underwriting margin was $49.3 million, an increase from 2016 results by $2.3 million, or 4.9%. As adjusted underwriting margin for warranty products was $18.5 million for 2017, up $0.8 million, or 4.4%, from 2016. The effects experienced in previous periods from our mobile protection products has slowed, and was more than offset by growth in furniture, appliances, and auto warranty business. Programs as adjusted underwriting margin for 2017 was $7.0 million, down 4.3% from 2016, as certain non-standard auto programs were exited over the last year. We believe our warranty service contracts and light commercial programs provide opportunity for growth through expanded product offerings, new clients and geographic expansion. Services and other contributed $6.7 million in 2017, down $0.4 million from 2016 as certain business processing services are in run-off.
Policy and contract benefits, which include net losses, loss adjustments and member benefit claims, were $94.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, up $21.9 million period-over-period. The increase in net losses over the prior year period was a function of growth in earned premiums, including the contract assumptions mentioned above, partially offset by lower claims in mobile devices consistent with the decline in written premiums.
Commission expense, excluding the impacts of VOBA, was $178.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, up $76.9 million, driven primarily by the increase in retention of credit insurance products, partially offset by declines in commissions related to the mobile protection and other warranty products.
Specialty Insurance Investment Portfolio
The investment portfolio consists of assets contributed by Tiptree, cash generated from operations, and from written premiums. The investment portfolio of our regulated insurance companies, captive reinsurance company and warranty business are subject to different regulatory considerations, including with respect to types of assets, concentration limits, affiliate transactions and the use of leverage. Our investment strategy is designed to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns over the entire investment horizon across select asset classes, sectors and geographies while maintaining adequate liquidity to meet our claims payment obligations. As such, volatility from realized and unrealized gains and losses may impact period-over-period performance.
In managing our investment portfolio we analyze net investments and net portfolio income, which are non-GAAP measures. Our presentation of net investments equals total investments plus cash and cash equivalents minus asset based financing related to certain investments. Our presentation of net portfolio income equals net investment income plus realized and unrealized gains and losses and minus interest expense associated with asset based financing of investments. Net investments and net portfolio income are used to calculate average annualized yield, which is one of the measures management uses to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Management believes this information on a cumulative basis is useful since it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our investment portfolio based on the capital at risk and on a non-consolidated basis. Our calculation of net investments and net
9
portfolio income may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Net investments and net portfolio income are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for total investments or net investment income. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP total investments and investment income.

Net investments of $364.0 million have grown 20.6% from September 30, 2016 through a combination of internal growth, increased retention of premiums written, and assets contributed by the Company to further capitalize Fortegra.
Our net investment income includes interest, dividends and rental income, net of investment expenses, on our invested assets. We report net realized gains and losses on our investments separately from our net investment income. Net realized gains occur when we sell our investment securities for more than their costs or amortized costs, as applicable. Net realized losses occur when we sell our investment securities for less than their costs or amortized costs, as applicable, or we write down the investment securities as a result of other-than-temporary impairment. We report net unrealized gains (losses) on securities classified as available-for-sale separately within accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. For loans, at fair value, and equity securities classified as trading securities, we report unrealized gains (losses) within net realized gains (losses) on investment on the condensed consolidated statement of income. The treatment of loans at fair value, primarily related to our credit asset investments and non-performing loans, and equity securities, is currently different from most other insurance companies.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the net investment portfolio loss was $6.4 million compared to $6.4 million of income in the comparable 2016 period. The decline was driven by $10.0 million of unrealized losses in the 2017 period compared to $2.7 million of unrealized gains in the 2016 period of which $11.1 million of unrealized losses were attributable to fair market valuations on publicly traded equity positions. This decline was partially offset by increases in net investment income of $0.5 million as the loans, equities and real estate continue to yield positive interest, dividend and rental income, along with increases in realized gains of $0.4 million primarily from gains on sales of our non-performing residential loans.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net investment portfolio loss was $6.7 million compared to $19.5 million of income in the comparable 2016 period. The average annualized yield for the nine months declined from 8.5% in 2016 to (3.7)% in 2017 as a result of year to date unrealized losses of $20.0 million compared to unrealized gains of $8.6 million in 2016. For the nine month period, fair market valuation on equities resulted in $21.2 million of unrealized losses. In addition, interest expense increased by $3.4 million as a result of increased borrowings on credit asset investments and non-performing loans. Those factors were partially offset by increases in net investment income of $3.6 million, as interest and dividend payments improved year-over-year, and realized
10
gains improved by $2.2 million, from gains on sales of our non-performing residential loans.
Asset Management
The Company’s asset management segment earns revenues from CLOs under management, including management fees, distributions and realized and unrealized gains on the Company’s holdings of CLO subordinated notes. Also included in the segment are the management fees, investment earnings and costs associated with our legacy tax-exempt securities business, CLO warehouse facilities and our credit hedging strategies. As of September 30, 2017, total fee earning AUM was $1.6 billion, which was down from $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2016 as the run-off in our older CLOs have not been replaced with new AUM. Total investment in CLO subordinated notes and management fee participation rights, at fair market value, as of September 30, 2017 was $20.2 million, down from $52.4 million as of September 30, 2016. In January 2017, the Company sold its investment in Telos 5 for consideration of $15.9 million which resulted in deconsolidation for the 2017 period. In August 2017, the Company liquidated Telos 7 for $21.9 million which resulted in deconsolidation of the assets and liabilities. Many of the Telos 7 assets were sold to a refinanced Telos 3. For risk retention purposes, we purchased a vertical tranche of Telos 3 in the insurance investment portfolio.

Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, pre-tax income was $3.0 million, down from $6.5 million in the prior year period. This decline was driven by reduced income from consolidated CLOs, primarily related to reductions in distributions on the subordinated notes as a result of sales and liquidation, and reduced management and incentive fees from our older vintage CLOs. This was partially offset by favorable realized gains on the liquidation of Telos 7 (which is embedded in the net income attributable to consolidated CLOs) and reduced incentive compensation expense.
Pre-tax income was $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $14.7 million for the 2016 period, a decrease of $1.6 million primarily driven by declining management fees on older vintage CLOs and reduced subordinated note distributions as our investments declined. Expenses for the 2017 period were $4.5 million compared to $6.1 million for the 2016 period, primarily driven by decreases in interest expense associated with the Telos 7 warehouse and decreases in employee incentive compensation as management and incentive fees decreased period-over-period. Net income attributable to consolidated CLOs was down $0.7 million primarily due to reductions in subordinated note distributions, partially offset by favorable fair value marks on our CLO subordinated notes in the 2017 period as compared to the 2016 period.

As Adjusted Revenues
Asset management as adjusted revenues include revenues from CLOs, legacy tax-exempt securities business, CLO warehouse facilities and our credit hedging strategies. The Company earns revenues from CLOs under management, whether consolidated or deconsolidated, which include fees earned for managing the CLOs, distributions received from the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes issued by the CLOs and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes. The revenue associated with the management fees and distributions earned and gains and losses on the subordinated notes attributable to the consolidated CLOs are reported as “net income (loss) attributable to the consolidated CLOs” in the Company’s financial statements.
11
The table below shows the Company’s share of the results attributable to the CLOs which were consolidated, on a deconsolidated basis. This presentation is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes this information is helpful for period-over-period comparative purposes as certain of our CLOs were consolidated for only some of the periods presented below. In addition, the Non-GAAP presentation allows investors the ability to calculate management fees as a percent of AUM, a common measure used by investors to evaluate asset managers, and which is one of the performance measures upon which management is compensated. While consolidation versus deconsolidation impacts the presentation of revenues, it does not impact expenses or pre-tax income. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP revenues.

Fee earning AUM has declined as older CLO vintages run-off, which has resulted in reduced base management fees. Incentive fees have decreased as performance fees within the Telos 1 and 2 CLOs run-off. Our investments in subordinated notes of the CLOs have also declined, which resulted in lower distributions period-over-period. Realized and unrealized gains were favorable as a result of the gain on sale of Telos 5 and Telos 7, and unrealized mark to market gains on our remaining CLO subordinated notes and other investments for year to date 2017 as compared to an unrealized loss in the 2016 period. Other income includes legacy tax-exempt securities, CLO warehouse facilities and our credit hedging strategies which declined year-over-year as those products were in place in the 2016 period and not in the 2017 period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, as adjusted revenues were $4.0 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was driven primarily by reductions in base management and incentive fees of $2.7 million, and lower distributions of $2.2 million and other income of $0.2 million, partially offset by improved realized and unrealized gains on CLO subordinated notes and other investments of $0.4 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as adjusted revenues were $17.6 million compared to $20.8 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was driven primarily by reductions in base management and incentive fees of $2.1 million, and lower distributions of $4.5 million and other income of $2.9 million, partially offset by favorable realized and unrealized gains on CLO subordinated notes and other investments of $6.3 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million and $13.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $6.5 million and $14.7 million for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease for both the quarter and for the year to date was driven by the same factors discussed above under “Results.” See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.
Senior Living
We operate our senior living segment through Care which is focused on investing in seniors housing properties including senior apartments, independent living, assisted living, memory care and to a lesser extent, skilled nursing facilities. As of September 30, 2017, Care’s portfolio consists of 40 properties across 10 states primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States comprised of 22 Triple Net Lease (“NNN”) Properties and 18 Managed Properties. Additionally, Care manages one property within our specialty insurance investment portfolio on behalf of Fortegra.
In Triple Net Lease Properties, we own between 90-100% of the real estate and enter into a long term lease with an operator who is typically responsible for bearing operating costs, including maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, repairs and capital improvements. The operations of the Triple Net Lease Properties are not consolidated since we do not manage or own the underlying operations. For Triple Net Lease Properties’ operations, we recognize primarily rental income from the lease since substantially all expenses are passed through to the tenant. In Managed Properties, we generally own between 65-90% of both the real estate and the operations with affiliates of the management company owning the remainder. We therefore consolidate all of the assets, liabilities,
12
income and expense of the Managed Properties operations in segment reporting. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, operating results include amounts attributable to non-controlling interests related to our Managed Properties.

Results
In 2017, twelve properties were acquired (two Managed Properties and ten Triple Net Lease Properties) for an aggregate purchase price of $80.7 million, bringing our total purchase price of the 40 properties to $407.6 million, excluding transaction costs. Ten of those properties were acquired in the second quarter of 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, our senior living segment incurred a pre-tax loss of $1.5 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $0.5 million for the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a pre-tax loss of $5.4 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $5.5 million for the same period in 2016. The properties acquired in the last twelve months have generated higher rental and related revenue year-over-year, however the higher revenues have been offset by additional expenses as a consequence of the acquisition of these properties. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the additional operating costs, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization outpaced the incremental revenues from the acquired properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the primary driver of the lower loss compared to 2016 was an unrealized expense of $1.4 million related to interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2016.
Revenues
Revenues were $19.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $15.7 million for the 2016 period, an increase of $3.9 million, or 24.8%. The increase in rental and related revenue was primarily due to the fourteen properties acquired over the last twelve months (three Managed Properties, eleven Triple Net Leases). For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenues were $55.9 million compared with $44.2 million for the 2016 period, an increase of $11.7 million, or 26.5%. The increase in rental and related revenue was primarily due to the facilities acquired since the first quarter of 2016, including twelve properties acquired in 2017 and four properties acquired in 2016. The three and nine month revenues increases as a result of acquisitions were partially offset by declining rental and related income resulting from reduced occupancy levels in 2016 at properties undergoing renovations and capital upgrades. These upgrades were completed in the first quarter of 2017, but occupancy and rental income has not yet recovered to stabilized levels.
Expenses
Expenses are comprised of interest expenses on borrowings, payroll expenses (including employees of the managers at each of Care’s Managed Properties), professional fees, depreciation and amortization of properties and leases acquired and other expenses.
Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $21.1 million, compared with $16.2 million for 2016, an increase of $5.0 million, or 30.6%. The primary increases period-over-period primarily related to acquired properties and include property operating expenses of $2.1 million (including employee compensation and benefits and other expenses at the managed properties), interest expense of $1.3 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.3 million, and payroll and other costs of $0.2 million. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to consolidation of the expenses of the three Managed Properties acquired in the last twelve months.
13
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $61.3 million, compared with $49.7 million for 2016, an increase of $11.6 million, or 23.3%. The primary increases period-over-period include property operating expenses of $7.0 million (including employee compensation and benefits and other expenses at the managed properties), interest expense of $3.1 million and depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.7 million. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to consolidation of the expenses of the two Managed Properties acquired in the first quarter of 2016 and the three Managed Properties acquired in the last fifteen months.
The Company is party to interest rate swaps in order to hedge interest rate exposure associated with its real estate holdings. These instruments swap fixed to floating rate cash streams in order to maintain the economics on the mortgage debt. As a result of movements in interest rates in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an unrealized loss was recorded in other expenses for $1.4 million for swaps that had not been previously designated as hedging relationships, which is an offsetting factor in the year-over-year increase in other expenses.
Operating Results - Non-GAAP
Segment NOI
In addition to Adjusted EBITDA, we also evaluate performance of our senior living segment based on net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP measure. NOI is a common non-GAAP measure in the real estate industry used to evaluate property level operations. We consider NOI an important supplemental measure to evaluate the operating performance of our senior living segment because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess our unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other senior living companies on a consistent basis. Agreements with our operators are structured such that they are incentivized to grow NOI, and it is a significant component in determining the compensation paid to Care’s management team. We define NOI as rental and related revenue less property operating expense. Property operating expenses and resident fees and services are not relevant to Triple Net Lease Properties since we do not manage the underlying operations and substantially all expenses are passed through to the tenant. Our calculation of NOI may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. NOI is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for pre-tax income.

NOI was $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $5.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of $1.7 million, or 29.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, NOI was $20.2 million, compared with $15.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of $4.5 million, or 28.2%. The primary drivers of improvement in NOI in both periods was an increase in rental revenue from newly acquired properties partially offset by the associated increase in property operating expenses. Several of our recent acquisitions included properties that the Company and its operating partners are enhancing through renovation projects and other capital upgrades in an effort to grow revenue and to allow them to operate more efficiently. As indicated in the table above, NOI margins on Managed Properties declined from 29.0% to 25.8% for the three months year-over-year and 27.1% to 25.8% for the nine months year-over-year. This decline was a result of dampened revenues as occupancy declined during these periods of renovation and capital upgrades, with the resulting ramp up of leasing revenues post-upgrade not yet completed. As the more recently acquired facilities ramp up and stabilize, we expect our results to reflect additional NOI margin improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million and $8.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $7.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, driven primarily by increases in NOI partially offset by increased interest expense on new acquisitions. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.

Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the specialty finance segment contributed pre-tax income of $2.6 million compared with pre-tax income of $4.2 million for the comparable 2016 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, pre-tax income was $2.6 million compared with $5.5 million for the comparable 2016 period. Expenses decreased by $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as result of lower mortgage production volumes which impacted employee compensation and benefits. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, expenses increased by $5.4 million driven primarily by the $3.0 million increase in fair value of the contingent earn-out liability in connection with our acquisition of Reliance, which in turn was driven by their improved performance. In addition, since the contingent earn-out is payable in Tiptree stock, its fair value increases as Tiptree’s stock price improves. This was partially offset by improved underlying performance driven by increased net revenue margins on mortgage originations volume and higher earning assets in the commercial lending businesses.
Revenues
Revenues are comprised of gain on sale of mortgages originated and sold to investors, gains and losses on the mortgage pipeline of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale and their associated hedges, and net interest income and fees associated with our commercial asset-based lending products and the mortgage origination business.
Revenues decreased from $29.0 million in three months ended September 30, 2016 to $25.0 million in the comparable 2017 period. Mortgage origination volume declined 23.8% from $565.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $431.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2017, which was partially offset by 31.2 basis points improvement in net revenue margins year-over-year. Commercial lending grew with average earning assets of $138.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $90.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 53.1%.
Revenues increased from $67.8 million in nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $70.3 million in the 2017 period, primarily driven by higher margins on relatively stable mortgage volume and increased commercial lending originations volume. Mortgage origination volume declined 10.9% from $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.2 billion for nine months ended September 30, 2017 which was more than offset by 53.1 basis points improvement in net revenue margins year-over-year. This was primarily a result of the change in product mix towards higher margin government and agency products. In addition, commercial asset-based lending grew with average earning assets of $117.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $72.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 60.9%. The improvement in commercial asset-based lending was driven by increased loan originations and higher utilization rates of facilities by borrowers which increased interest income and loan fees, reported in other income.
15
Expenses
Lower revenues were offset by lower expenses, which decreased from $24.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $22.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2017. Higher revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were offset by higher expenses which increased from $62.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $67.7 million in the comparable period in 2017. Expenses are composed of payroll and employee commissions, interest expense, professional fees, fair value changes to the contingent earn-out liability in connection with our acquisition of Reliance and other expenses. In addition to the Reliance earn-out increase, expenses were higher in the nine month 2017 period from higher payroll and employee commissions as underlying business performance improved.
Operating Results - Non GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $6.3 million for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in the three month period was driven by the same factors discussed above under “Results”, combined with the add-back of the change in fair value for earn-out liability at Reliance in each respective period. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other incorporates revenues from non-core legacy principal investments and expenses including interest expense on the holding company credit facility and employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses.

Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $7.1 million compared with a loss of $9.3 million for the 2016 period, an increase in pre-tax income of $2.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $22.2 million compared with a loss of $22.8 million for the 2016 period, a lower pre-tax loss of $0.6 million. The key drivers of year-over-year improvement in the nine month period were decreases in total corporate expenses of $4.0 million primarily related to reduced professional fees, partially offset by $3.5 million of reduced revenues in the 2016 period from realized gains on the sale of certain legacy principal investments which did not repeat in 2017.
Expenses include holding company interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses. Corporate employee compensation and benefits expense includes the expense of management, legal and accounting staff. Other expenses primarily consisted of audit and professional fees, insurance, office rent and other related expenses.
Employee compensation and benefits were $3.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $4.2 million for the 2016 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, employee compensation and benefits were $9.8 million compared to $9.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as corporate staff increased from our efforts to improve our reporting and controls infrastructure, which was offset by lower accrued incentive compensation.

Interest expense was $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.3 million in the 2016 period. Interest expense was $3.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense for the nine months was related to increased borrowings on the Fortress credit facility year-over-year.
Other expenses were $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $3.8 million in the 2016 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other expenses were $8.5 million as compared to $12.9 million in 2016. The year-over-year decrease of $4.4 million in the nine months was driven by reduced audit fee accruals and external consulting spend as a result of our improved reporting and controls infrastructure. Included within the year-to-date 2017 results were approximately $1.0 million of expenses primarily related to the delayed filing of the first quarter Form 10-Q.
Operating Results - Non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $5.8 million and $19.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a loss of $7.9 million and $20.9 million in the comparable prior year periods. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine month periods were driven by the same factors that impacted pre-tax income. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.

ETR | 37.8 | % | 32.3 | % | 27.3 | % | 19.2 | % |
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s ETR was equal to 37.8%, which does bear a customary relationship to the federal statutory income tax rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s ETR was equal to 32.3%, which does bear a customary relationship to the federal statutory income tax rate.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s ETR was equal to 27.3% which is lower than the federal statutory income tax rate, primarily due a change in fair value of a contingent consideration liability, an increase in a valuation allowance on net operating losses, and various other discrete items. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 excluding the effect of discrete items was 28.1%, which is lower than the federal statutory income tax rate, primarily due to a state tax benefit and the effect of non-controlling interests at certain subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s ETR was equal to approximately 19.2%, which is lower than the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of tax restructuring to create the consolidated group.
Balance Sheet Information - as of September 30, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016
Tiptree’s total assets were $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2017, compared to $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2016. The $441.2 million decrease in assets is primarily attributable to decreases in assets of consolidated CLOs, due to the deconsolidation of two CLOs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of selling the subordinated notes. Additionally, loans at fair value and equity securities decreased, partially offset by increases in real estate from acquisitions in our senior living segment, notes and accounts receivable and reinsurance receivable in our specialty insurance segment. In addition, the combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenues increased as a result of growth in written premiums and extending contract durations in the insurance business.
Total stockholders’ equity of Tiptree was $292.0 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $293.4 million as of December 31, 2016, primarily driven by the losses in the period, partially offset by the net increase in equity outstanding as a result of the Tricadia

(1) | The consolidated non-corporate and non-acquisition related interest expense is subtracted from EBITDA to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. This includes interest expense associated with asset-specific debt at subsidiaries in the specialty insurance, asset management, senior living and specialty finance segments. |
(2) | Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated. Thus, the purchase accounting effect related to Fortegra increased EBITDA above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated. The impact of this purchase accounting adjustments have been reversed to reflect an adjusted EBITDA without such purchase accounting effect. The impact for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was an effective increase to pre-tax earnings of $307 thousand and $408 thousand, respectively. |
(3) | For our senior living segment, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the change of fair value of interest rate swaps hedging the debt at the property level. For Reliance, within our specialty finance segment, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes in contingent earn-outs. For our specialty insurance segment, depreciation and amortization on senior living real estate that is within net investment income is added back to Adjusted EBITDA. |
(4) | Acquisition costs include legal, taxes, banker fees and other costs associated with senior living acquisitions in 2017 and 2016. |

Specialty Insurance - As Adjusted Underwriting Margin - Non-GAAP
Underwriting margin is a measure of the underwriting profitability of our specialty insurance segment. It represents net earned premiums, service and administrative fees, ceding commissions and other income less policy and contract benefits and commission expense. We use the combined ratio as an insurance operating metric to evaluate our underwriting performance, both overall and relative to peers. Expressed as a percentage, it represents the relationship of policy and contract benefits, commission expense (net of ceding commissions), employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses to net earned premiums, service and administrative fees, and other income. The following table provides a reconciliation between as adjusted underwriting margin and pre-tax income for the following periods:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are our holdings of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and other liquid investments and distributions from operating subsidiaries, including subordinated notes of CLOs, income from our investment portfolio and sales of assets and investments. We intend to use our cash resources to continue to grow our businesses. We may seek additional sources of cash to fund acquisitions or investments. These additional sources of cash may take the form of debt or equity and may be at the parent, subsidiary or asset level. We are a holding company and our liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on the Fortress credit facility, compensation, professional fees, office rent and insurance costs.
Our subsidiaries’ ability to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make cash distributions will be subject to numerous business and other factors, including restrictions contained in our subsidiaries’ financing agreements, regulatory restrictions, availability of sufficient funds at such subsidiaries, general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and other factors such as target capital ratios and ratio levels anticipated by rating agencies to maintain or improve current ratings. We expect our cash and cash equivalents and distributions from operating subsidiaries and our subsidiaries’ access to financing to be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $111.8 million, compared to $63.0 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $48.7 million.
21
Our approach to debt is generally to use non-recourse (other than customary carveouts, including fraud and environmental liability), asset specific debt where possible that is amortized by cash flows from the underlying business or assets financed. Our mortgage businesses rely on short term uncommitted sources of financing as a part of their normal course of operations. To date, we have been able to obtain and renew uncommitted warehouse credit facilities. If we were not able to obtain financing, then we may need to draw on other sources of liquidity to fund our mortgage business. See Note—(11) Debt, net for additional information regarding our mortgage warehouse borrowings.
For purposes of determining enterprise value and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider secured corporate credit agreements and preferred trust securities, which we refer to as corporate debt, as corporate financing and associated interest expense is added back. The below table outlines this amount by debt outstanding and interest expense by segment.

Our intermediate holding company has a credit facility with Fortress to provide working capital. Loans under the Fortress credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.25%), plus a margin of 6.50% per annum. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $0.5 million, subject to adjustment based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Fortress credit agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter. The outstanding debt under the Fortress credit agreement was $57.0 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $58.5 million as of December 31, 2016. All remaining principal, and any unpaid interest, under the Fortress credit agreement is payable on maturity at September 18, 2018. We intend to extend or refinance the Fortress credit agreement but we may not be able to do so on terms satisfactory to us. If we are unable to extend or refinance, we expect to use available cash, asset sales and/or distributions from our operating subsidiaries to make the required payments.
On October 16, 2017, Fortegra completed an offering of $125 million Junior Subordinated Notes due 2057. Substantially all of the net proceeds from the Notes were used to repay Fortegra’s existing credit facility, which was terminated. We believe these funds will reposition Fortegra’s balance sheet, strengthen the Company’s positioning with industry rating agencies, and generate a source of long term capital. See Note—(11) Debt, net for additional information of our debt and that of our subsidiaries.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Tiptree’s Fortegra subsidiary is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., which was filed in February 2006, in the Pike Circuit Court, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A class was certified in June 2010. At issue is the duration or term of coverage under certain disability and life credit insurance policies. The action alleges violations of the Consumer Protection Act and certain insurance statutes, as well as common law fraud and seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and interest. To date, the court has not awarded sanctions in connection with Plaintiffs’ April 2012 Motion for Sanctions. In January 2015, the trial court issued an Order denying Fortegra’s motion to decertify the class, which was upheld on appeal. Following a February 2017 hearing, the court denied Fortegra’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to certain disability insurance policies but has not yet ruled on such motion with respect to the life insurance policies at issue. In June 2017, a new Special Master was appointed. No trial or hearings are currently scheduled.
In management’s opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of Tiptree. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards,
25
bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss.
Tiptree and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, Tiptree does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on Tiptree’s financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For information regarding factors that could affect our Company, results of operations and financial condition, see the risk factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no material change in those risk factors.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 10, 2017, Tiptree issued 756,046 shares of Class A common stock as additional earn-out consideration pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2014, among Tiptree and certain of its subsidiaries and the former equity holders of Reliance First Capital, LLC.
