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, 2017 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. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, Tiptree, the Company, or we) is a Maryland Corporation that was incorporated on March 19, 2007. Tiptree is a holding company that combines specialty insurance operations with investment management expertise. We allocate our capital across our insurance operations and investments in other companies and assets which are managed as part of Tiptree Capital. As of March 31, 2018, Tiptree Capital consists of asset management operations, mortgage operations and other investments. As such, we classify our business into three reportable segments: specialty insurance, asset management and mortgage.
Tiptree’s Class A common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TIPT” beginning in August of 2013. As of March 31, 2018, Tiptree’s primary asset is its ownership of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (TFP) an intermediate holding company through which Tiptree operates its businesses.
As of March 31, 2018, Tiptree directly owned approximately 81% of TFP. The remaining 19% is owned by various limited partners and reported as non-controlling interest. All of Tiptree’s Class B common stock was owned by TFP and accounted for as treasury stock. On April 10, 2018, TFP merged with and into Tiptree Inc. See Note (22) Subsequent Events for more details of the merger and its impact on the organizational structure of the Company.
(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, 2017. 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 months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending on December 31, 2018.
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, 2017, certain prior period amounts related to discontinued operations have been reclassified from continuing operations 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 reclassification of Care, our senior living business, to discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note (3) Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale & Discontinued Operations for additional information.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01, an immaterial amount of equity securities classified as available for sale as of December 31, 2017 were reclassified to equity securities, at fair value as of March 31, 2018. The net unrealized loss was immaterial. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 resulted in reclassification of restricted cash balances into cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
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)
March 31, 2018
(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 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. A substantial majority of the Company’s non-investment related revenues are comprised of revenues from insurance contracts that are accounted for under Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) or certain financial services products (e.g. gains upon the origination of mortgages) that are not within the scope of the new standard. The Company’s remaining revenues that are within the scope of Topic 606 are primarily comprised of revenues from contracts with customers for monthly membership dues for motor clubs, monthly administration fees for services provided for premiums, claims and reinsurance processing revenues, vehicle service contracts and warranty coverage revenues for household goods and appliances (collectively, remaining contracts). The Company has chosen the modified-retrospective method of adopting Topic 606, and has assessed these contracts and concluded that changes in accounting and revenue recognition upon adoption of Topic 606 was not material to the Company’s financial position as of January 1, 2018, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. No cumulative effect adjustment was made due to the adoption of this standard. See Note (13) Revenue From Contracts with Customers for disclosures required under ASU 2014-09 and others related to Topic 606.
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 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018. 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 2016-08, 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. See discussion of the impact of ASU 2014-09 above which addresses the total impact of Topic 606.
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). See discussion of the impact of ASU 2014-09 above which addresses the total impact of Topic 606.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606) 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 adoption of this standard did 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). See discussion of the impact of ASU 2014-09 above which addresses the total impact of Topic 606.
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 adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 resulted in reclassification of restricted cash balances into cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the first quarter of 2018.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial
F- 13
TIPTREE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2018
(in thousands, except share data)
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 adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted
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 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 ASU 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 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 amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. 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 believes that the adoption of ASU 2017-08 will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
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.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits companies to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by Public Law no. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. Deferred tax assets (DTA) related to available for sale (AFS) securities unrealized gains and losses that were revalued as of December 31, 2017 created stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) due to the enactment of the tax act, due to the nature of existing GAAP requiring recognition of tax rate change effects on the DTA revaluation related to AFS securities as an adjustment to provision for income taxes. Specifically, ASU 2018-02 permits a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Additionally, the ASU requires new disclosures by all companies, whether they opt to do the reclassification or not. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2018-02 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
(3) Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Dispositions
On January 18, 2017 and November 7, 2017, the Company sold its ownership in the subordinated notes of Telos 5 and Telos 6 (collectively, the Disposed CLOs). As a result of the sales, the Company determined that it no longer had the controlling interest in such entities. The Company, therefore, deconsolidated its ownership in the subordinated notes of the Disposed CLOs and is no longer reporting the assets and liabilities of the Disposed CLOs in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. The operations of the Disposed CLOs were consolidated in the results of the Company through the respective dates.
The operations of the Disposed CLOs were consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through the respective sale dates. On August 10, 2017, the Company’s ownership in the subordinated notes of Telos 7 was redeemed for cash as part of the complete liquidation of the CLO. The operations of Telos 7 were consolidated in the results of the Company through the redemption date.
The Company sold Siena on October 1, 2017. Consideration consisted of $2,500 in cash and $11,000 of seller provided financing at the time of sale. The financing has an interest rate of 10% and matures on November 18, 2018. The operations of Siena were consolidated in the results of the Company through the sale date.
The Company completed the sale of Care, as well as two senior living properties held in our specialty insurance business on February 1, 2018. The Company received approximately 16.6 million shares of Invesque Inc. (Invesque) with an estimated fair value of $134.1 million at the time of sale, resulting in an ownership of approximately 34% of the acquiring company at the time of sale. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to the investment in Invesque. As such, these shares are held at fair value within equity securities, at fair value.
The pre-tax comprehensive income on the sale was approximately $44.2 million, which consists of $46.2 million gain on sale of subsidiary, $1.8 million of realized gain on the sale of the specialty insurance properties, offset by the reclassification of the interest rate swap from AOCI of $3.8 million.

The Company does not intend to sell the investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2018, 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. The unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit-related issues. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, based on the Company's review, none of the fixed maturity 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.

(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 it’s 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
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with customers 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 and TBA Mortgage Backed Securities
The Company enters into forward delivery contracts with loan aggregators and other investors as one of the tools to manage the interest rate risk associated with IRLCs and loans held for sale. In addition, 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.

The Company is taking action to obtain a waiver or cause Luxury to be in compliance.
(11) 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 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.

(in thousands, except share data)
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, at fair value
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.
The Company’s investment in Invesque is subject to certain contractual restrictions on registration and sale. The fair value of the Invesque shares is based on the market price adjusted for the impact of such restrictions. As of March 31, 2018 the weighted average estimated restriction period was 11 months. As a result of the discount on the Invesque investment, the fair value measurement falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans, at fair value
Corporate Loans: 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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017. The carrying value of REOs at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $16,811 and $16,056, 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 other investments. Subsequent to conversion, REOs are carried at lower of cost or market.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives are comprised of interest rate lock commitments (IRLC) and to be announced mortgage backed securities (TBA) . 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. 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 and forward delivery contracts generally result in a Level 2 classification.

(1) | 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.

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. Categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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:
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.

(13) Revenue From Contracts with Customers
As discussed in Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and other ASUs related to Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018. A substantial majority of the Company’s non-investment related revenues are comprised of revenues from insurance contracts that are accounted for under Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) or certain financial services products (e.g. gains upon the origination of mortgages) that are not within the scope of the new standard. There was no impact to any prior period amounts or transition adjustment recorded as a result of the adoption of the new standard.
Revenue from contracts with customers is primarily comprised of asset management fee income included as a part of other revenue, and warranty coverage, car club and other revenues included as a part of service and administrative fees in our specialty insurance business. The table below presents the disaggregated amounts of revenue from contracts with customers by product type for the following periods:
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2018 | 2017 | ||||||
Asset management fee income | $ | 1,577 | $ | 1,707 | |||
Warranty coverage revenue | 6,123 | 3,705 | |||||
Car club revenue | 7,829 | 7,722 | |||||
Other | 2,097 | 1,896 | |||||
Revenue from contracts with customers | $ | 17,626 | $ | 15,030 |
Management Fees
The Company earns asset management fee income in the form of base management fees and incentives from the CLOs it manages. These base management fees are billed as the services are provided and paid periodically in accordance with the terms of the individual management agreements for as long as the Company manages the funds. Base management fees typically consist of fees based on the amount of assets held in the CLOs. Base management fees are recognized as revenue when earned. The Company does not recognize incentive fees until all contractual contingencies have been removed.
Service and Administrative Fees
Service fee revenue is recognized as the services are performed. These services include fulfillment, software development, and claims handling for our customers. Management reviews the financial results under each significant contract on a monthly basis. Any losses that may occur due to a specific contract would be recognized in the period in which the loss is determined probable.
Administrative fee revenue includes the administration of premium associated with our producers and their PORCs. In addition, we also earn fee revenue from debt cancellation programs, motor club programs, and warranty programs. Related administrative fee revenue is recognized consistent with the earnings recognition pattern of the underlying insurance policies, debt cancellation contracts and motor club memberships being administered, using Rule of 78's, modified Rule of 78's, pro rata, or other methods as appropriate for the contract. Management selects the appropriate method based on available information, and periodically reviews the selections as additional information becomes available.
Information on Remaining Performance Obligations
We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material at March 31, 2018.
Contract Balances
The timing of our revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by our customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and we have an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

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 the Company’s financial statements. See Note (22) Subsequent Events for the impact of the reorganization merger on the terms of this warrant.
In connection with the June 30, 2012 internalization of TFP’s management, TFP issued warrants to acquire 750,000 TFP LP units at $23.73 per unit, subject to an anti-dilution provision, which is immediately exercisable and expires on June 30, 2022. As of March 31, 2018 warrant holders had the right to acquire 805,986 TFP LP Units at $21.232 per unit. If the warrant is exercised, an aggregate of 2,255,149 shares of Class A common stock would be issuable upon exchange of the TFP units. See Note (22) Subsequent Events for the impact of the reorganization merger on the terms of this warrant.

Statutory Reporting and Insurance Company Subsidiaries Dividend Restrictions
The Company's regulated insurance company subsidiaries may pay dividends to our insurance holding company, subject to statutory restrictions. Payments in excess of statutory restrictions (extraordinary dividends) to our insurance holding 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 months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively, the Company's insurance company subsidiaries did not pay any ordinary or extra ordinary 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 | |||||||
March 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | ||||||
Combined statutory capital and surplus of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries | $ | 107,902 | $ | 105,989 | |||

Amount available for ordinary dividends of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries | $ | 10,115 | $ | 10,115 |
At March 31, 2018, the maximum amount of dividends that our regulated insurance company subsidiaries could pay under applicable laws and regulations without regulatory approval was approximately $10,115. 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 March 31, 2018.

Equity Plans
2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the Tiptree 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2017 Equity Plan) on June 6, 2017, which permits the grant of stock units, stock, and stock options up to a maximum of 6,100,000 shares of Class A common stock. 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. Unless otherwise extended, the 2017 Equity Plan terminates automatically on June 6, 2027. The table below summarizes changes to the issuances under the Company’s 2013 and 2017 Equity Plan for the periods indicated:

Available for issuance as of March 31, 2018 | 5,493,358 |
(1) Excludes awards granted under the Company’s subsidiary incentive plans that are exchangeable for Tiptree Class A common stock.
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
Generally, the Tiptree RSUs 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 RSUs under the 2017 Equity Plan for the periods indicated:

Unvested units as of March 31, 2018 | 711,173 | $ | 6.34 |
(1) Includes grants of 12,192 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 2018 are 22,727 shares surrendered to pay taxes on behalf of the employees with shares vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted 268,799 RSUs to employees of the Company. 147,467 shares vest ratably over a period of three years that began in February 2018 and the remaining 121,332 shares will cliff vest in February 2021.
Subsidiary Incentive Plans
Certain of the Company’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 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, 2017 | $ | 8,792 | |
Vested | (1,466 | ) | |
Unvested balance as of March 31, 2018 | $ | 7,326 |
The vested and unvested balance (assuming full vesting) translates to 1,854,846 shares of Class A common stock if converted as of March 31, 2018.
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. The option awards have a 10-year term and are subject the recipient’s continuous service, a market requirement, and vest one third on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date. The market requirement is a book value per share target that can be met at 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

(in thousands, except share data)
will be recognized over the appropriate vesting period whether the market requirement is met or not. The options granted in 2018 include a retirement provision and are amortized over the lessor of the service condition or expected retirement date.
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 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 | ||||
Assumption | Average | ||||
Historical volatility | 30.63 | % | N/A | ||

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, the trial court issued an Order denying the Company’s motion to decertify the class, which was upheld on appeal. Following a February 2017 hearing, the court denied the Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to certain disability insurance policies. In January 2018, the court vacated its November 2017 order granting Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to the life certificates at issue with leave to refile. No trial or additional 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 the Company’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.
(21) 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 months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 ended March 30, 2018 the assumed exercise of all dilutive instruments were anti-dilutive to continuing operations and not included in diluted net income per Class A common share calculation.
The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the following periods:

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 that combines insurance operations with investment management expertise. Our principal operating subsidiary is a leading provider of specialty insurance products and related services, including credit protection insurance, warranty products, and insurance programs which underwrite niche personal and commercial lines of insurance. We also allocate capital across a broad spectrum of investments, which we refer to as Tiptree Capital. Today, Tiptree Capital consists of asset management operations, mortgage operations and other investments, which include our minority interest in Invesque. When considering capital allocation decisions, we take a diversified approach, looking across sectors, geographies and asset classes, all with a longer-term horizon. 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.
Year-to-date 2018, we have executed on several strategic objectives:
Insurance:
• | Specialty Insurance operations continued to grow as gross written premiums were $201 million, up 21.3%, driven by growth in warranty and credit products. Net written premiums were $109 million, up 26.5%, driven by increase in retention of credit products and growth in warranty products. |
• | On March 28, 2018, we expanded our insurance operations into Europe with the creation of Fortegra Europe Insurance Company Limited (“FEIC”). |
Tiptree Capital:
• | On February 1, 2018, we sold our senior living operations to Invesque in exchange for a net 16.4 million shares of Invesque common stock. Tiptree’s increase to book value was $0.91 per share, or a 9.1% increase over our December 31, 2017 book value per share, as exchanged. |
Corporate:
• | On March 23, 2018, we initiated an up to $20 million share buy-back plan split evenly between open market and opportunistic large block purchases. |
• | On April 10, 2018, we completed a corporate reorganization that eliminates Tiptree’s dual class stock structure. |
• | On May 4, 2018, we extended our Fortress credit agreement to September 2020 and up-sized to $75 million while reducing the interest rate by 100 basis points. |
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, 2017. 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, changing regulatory requirements and slowing business conditions can have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our specialty insurance business generally focuses on products which have low severity but high frequency loss experiences and are short-duration in nature. Our insurance business has historically also generated a significant proportion of fee based revenues. In general, the types of products we offer tend to have limited aggregation risk, and thus, limited exposure to catastrophic and residual risk. We mitigate our underwriting risk through a combination of reinsurance and retrospective commission structures with our distribution partners and/or third-party reinsurers. Our insurance results primarily depend on our pricing, underwriting, risk retention and the accuracy of reserves, reinsurance arrangements, returns on invested assets, and policy and contract renewals and run-off. While our insurance operations have historically maintained 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
1
experienced. We believe there are additional growth opportunities to expand our warranty and programs insurance business model to other niche products and markets.
Our insurance company investment portfolio primarily serves as a source to pay claims and secondarily as a source of income for our operations. Our investments include fixed maturity securities, loans, credit investment funds, equity securities and CLOs. Many of our investments are held at fair value. Changes in fair value for loans, credit investment funds, equity securities and CLO assets and liabilities 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. 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. 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. In addition, both as part of our insurance company investments and separately in Tiptree Capital, as of February 1, 2018, our common shares of Invesque represent a significant asset on our balance sheet. Any change in the fair value of Invesque’s common stock or Invesque’s dividend policy could have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business can also be impacted in various ways by changes in interest rates which can result in fluctuations in fair value of our investments, revenues associated with floating rate loans, volume and revenues in our mortgage business and interest expense associated with floating rate debt used to fund many of our operations.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which, among other things, reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the Tax Act, we estimate that our 2018 consolidated effective tax rate will be between 24% and 26%. We do not expect a significant near-term impact on cash used to pay taxes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a summary of our consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, revenues were $148.1 million, which increased $1.9 million, or 1.3%, over prior year period driven by growth in earned premiums and service and administrative fees, partially offset by reduced other income, and unrealized losses on equity securities. Earned premiums were $101.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, up from $89.2 million in the comparable 2017 period. This was consistent with our strategy to grow written premiums of our insurance business which contributes to increased investable assets and investment income. In addition to the growth in revenues, the combination of
2
unearned premiums and deferred revenues on the balance sheet grew by $110.0 million or 23.4%, from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 as we continue to grow credit protection and warranty written premiums, which are earned over multiple years.
Income (loss) before taxes (from continuing and discontinued operations)
The table below highlights certain key drivers impacting our consolidated results presented on a pre-tax basis. 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 unrealized gains and losses. 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 accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in stockholders equity. On February 1, 2018, we sold our senior living operations to Invesque in exchange for net 16.4 million shares of Invesque common stock which resulted in a gain on sale. During 2017, we made a strategic decision to decrease our overall exposure to CLO subordinated notes, which resulted in deconsolidation and decreased our earnings from CLO distributions and gains on sales of investments when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2018 versus March 31, 2017.

Net Income (Loss) before non-controlling interests
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net income before non-controlling interests was $29.0 million compared to net income of $1.3 million in the 2017 period, an increase of $27.7 million. The increase was driven by $34.5 million of income from discontinued operations including the net gain on sale of Care, which was partially offset by unrealized losses on equity securities (including the Invesque common stock), and lower asset management income as we reduced our exposure to CLO subordinated notes which resulted in less distributions and gains compared to 2017.
Net Income (Loss) Available to Class A Common Stockholders
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net income available to Class A common stockholders was $23.6 million, an increase of $22.5 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 - Non-GAAP
Total Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $5.3 million compared to $11.8 million for the 2017 period, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 55.1%. The key drivers of the change in Adjusted EBITDA were the same as those which impacted our net income before non-controlling interests, excluding add-backs associated with the Care gain and non-recurring expenses. For Care, the reduction in EBITDA is related to accumulated depreciation and amortization, and certain operating expenses, which were previously included in Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods. See “— Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.
Book Value per share, as exchanged - Non-GAAP
Total stockholders’ equity was $407.7 million as of March 31, 2018 compared to $393.8 million as of March 31, 2017, primarily driven by net income over the last four quarters and the net increase in equity outstanding as a result of an option exercise, net of share re-purchases.
As exchanged book value per share for the period ended March 31, 2018 was $10.59, an increase from $10.15 as of March 31, 2017. The key drivers of the period-over-period impact were earnings per share of $0.87 over the last four quarters and the purchase of 1.0 million shares at an average 28% discount to book value. Those increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $0.12 per share, officer and director compensation share issuances, and the exercise of a 2007 founders’ option in June 2017, the latter of which resulted in 1.5 million shares being issued for $5.36 per share in cash paid to the Company which resulted in a $0.19 decrease in book value per share. Over the past twelve months, Tiptree returned $12.0 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid.
Results by Segment

Tiptree is a holding company that combines insurance operations with investment management expertise. In addition to our specialty insurance operations, we allocate our capital across our investments in other companies and assets which we refer to as Tiptree Capital. As of March 31, 2018, Tiptree Capital consists of asset management operations, mortgage operations and other investments (including Invesque common shares). As such, we classify our business into three reportable segments– specialty insurance, asset management and mortgage. Corporate activities include holding company interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses. The following table presents the components of total pre-tax income including continuing and discontinued operations.

Total Capital and Adjusted EBITDA - Non-GAAP (1)
Management evaluates the return on Invested Capital and Total Capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, when making capital investment decisions. Invested Capital represents its total cash investment, including any re-investment of earnings, and acquisition costs, net of tax. Total Capital represents Invested Capital plus Corporate Debt. Management believes the use of these financial measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze how the Company has allocated capital over-time and provide a basis for determining the return on capital to shareholders. Management uses both of these measures when making capital investment decisions, including reinvesting cash, and evaluating the relative performance of its businesses and investments. The following table presents the components of Total Capital and Adjusted EBITDA.

Specialty Insurance
Our principal operating subsidiary is a provider of specialty insurance products and related services, including credit protection insurance, warranty products, and insurance programs which underwrite niche personal and commercial lines of insurance. We also offer fee-based administration and fronting services for our self-insured clients who own captive producer owned reinsurance companies (“PORCs”). We generate income from insurance underwriting operations and our investment portfolio. Insurance underwriting operations revenues are primarily generated from net earned premiums, service and administrative fees and ceding commissions. We measure insurance underwriting operations performance by adjusted underwriting margin, combined ratio and Adjusted 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.

Results
Our specialty insurance operations are currently expanding product lines in an effort to increase written premiums. As part of this process, the business is investing to grow warranty and programs, while maintaining a leading position in our credit protection markets. That, combined with the earnings performance of the investment portfolio, are key drivers in comparing 2018 versus 2017 results. The growth in written premiums, combined with higher retention in select products, has resulted in an increase of unearned premiums and deferred revenue on the balance sheet of 23.4% from $469.4 million as of March 31, 2017 to $579.4 million as of March 31, 2018.
Pre-tax income was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $3.5 million, over the prior year period. The primary drivers of the decline were period-over-period reductions in net realized and unrealized gains and losses of $4.4 million related to equities held in the portfolio and decreases in net investment income of $0.3 million related to lower dividend income. Insurance operations results increased versus the prior year period driven primarily by increased underwriting margin of $3.4 million, which was partially offset by increased other expenses of $1.7 million primarily from a combination of expenses of pursuing acquisition opportunities, asset-based debt extinguishment expenses, and premium taxes, the latter of which increased consistent with growth in written premiums. Interest expense increased by $1.1 million from the prior year period, primarily associated with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes in late 2017.
Revenues
Revenues are generated by the sale of the following 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 auto service contracts, furniture and appliance service contracts and mobile device protection. Programs are primarily personal and commercial lines and other property-casualty products.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total revenues were $130.0 million, up $8.2 million, or 6.7%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in earned premiums of $12.4 million and increases in service and administrative fees of $0.8 million. The increase in earned premiums was driven by growth in all product lines.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, revenues on the investment portfolio, including net investment income and realized and unrealized gains, contributed income of $0.8 million compared to $5.5 million of income in the 2017 period, a decrease of $4.7 million. This was driven by realized and unrealized losses of $3.4 million, primarily related to investments in equities, compared to realized and unrealized gains of $1.0 million in 2017. See “—Specialty Insurance Investment Portfolio” for further discussion of the investment results.
5
Expenses
Total expenses include policy and contract benefits, commissions expense and operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total expenses were $128.7 million compared to $117.0 million in the 2017 period. The primary drivers of the increase were policy and contract benefits and commission expense as net written premiums increased over the 2017 period.
There are two types of expenses for claims 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 warranty protection and car club 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. 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. Loss occurrences in our insurance products are characterized by low severity and high frequency. 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 March 31, 2018, policy and contract benefits were $36.6 million, up $3.6 million from the prior year primarily as a result of increased retention in our credit protection and program products. The increase in net losses over the prior year period was a function of growth in earned premiums, partially offset by lower claims in mobile devices consistent with the decline in written premiums in that product line.
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, warranty and mobile device protection service contracts, and motor club memberships. 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 March 31, 2018 was $62.6 million compared to $56.8 million in the 2017 period. The primary drivers of the increase were the commission expense associated with the higher retention rate on our credit protection products.
Operating expenses include employee compensation and benefits, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total employee compensation and benefits were $10.9 million, down $0.1 million from the 2017 period primarily as a result of a one-time catch-up accrual for stock-based compensation expense in 2017. Interest expense of $4.5 million in 2017 increased by $1.1 million versus the prior year, primarily from interest expense related to the Junior Subordinated Notes partially offset by reduced asset based borrowings on certain investments within the investment portfolio. Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $11.2 million, up $1.7 million from 2017 primarily from a combination of expenses of pursuing acquisition opportunities, asset-based debt extinguishment expenses, and premium taxes, the latter of which increased consistent with growth in written premiums.
Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Operating Results
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 is based on the contractual formula contained in the individual reinsurance agreements. Net earned premiums are the earned portion of our net written premiums. 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.

million, or 21.3%, from the prior year period. The amount of business retained was 54.4%, up from 52.2% in the prior year period. Total net premiums written for 2017 were $109.2 million, up $22.9 million, or 26.5%. Warranty and service contract net written premiums were $15.5 million, up $3.0 million from the 2017 period and specialty programs were $17.0 million, up $8.2 million from the 2017 period. Warranty increases were driven by increases in our furniture, appliances and auto products. We believe our warranty service contracts and light commercial programs provide opportunity for growth through expanded product offerings, new clients and geographic expansion.
Product Underwriting Margin - Non-GAAP
The following table presents product specific revenue and expenses within the specialty insurance operations. We generally limit the underwriting risk we assume using both reinsurance (e.g., quota share and excess of loss) and retrospective commission agreements with our partners (e.g., commissions paid are adjusted 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 - Underwriting Margin.

Underwriting margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $29.9 million, up from $26.6 million in 2017. Credit protection underwriting margin was $18.1 million, an increase from 2017 results by $3.2 million, or 21.0%. Credit protection products continue to provide opportunities for steady growth through a combination of expanded product offerings and new clients. Underwriting margin for warranty products was $6.4 million for the 2018 period, up $0.1 million, or 1.0%, from the 2017 period. 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 underwriting margin for the 2018 period was $3.0 million, up 17.1% from 2017, as new programs take hold. Services and other contributed $2.4 million in 2018, down $0.3 million from 2017 as certain business processing services are in run-off.
Invested Capital, Total Capital, Adjusted EBITDA and Insurance Operating Ratios
We use the combined ratio as an operating metric to evaluate our insurance 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. The below table outlines the insurance operating ratios, capital invested and the drivers of Adjusted EBITDA split between underwriting and investments as management evaluates the return on the investment portfolio separately from the returns from underwriting activities.

The combined ratio was 93.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 94.7% for the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by improved underwriting margins and lower stock-based compensation expense in the 2018 period versus the 2107 period. Decreased stock-based compensation expense, which is a result of time and performance based stock grants, contributed to 0.6% of the combined ratio decline from the 2017 period to the 2018 period. The combined ratio from 2015-2017 averaged 90.3%. The increase from our three-year average in recent quarters has been driven primarily by our investment in new products and geographies which we believe will result in premium growth in future periods.
Underwriting Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.0 million from the 2017 to the 2018 period, driven by the same factors discussed above under “Results.” See “—Specialty Insurance Investment Portfolio” for further discussion of the investment results and “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax income.
Insurance Investment Portfolio
Our investment portfolio is 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. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and loans impact current period net income, while unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities impact AOCI.
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, excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities which are taken to AOCI, 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 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 $399.7 million have grown 15.2% from March 31, 2017 through a combination of internal growth and increased retention of premiums written.
Our net investment income includes interest, dividends and rental income, net of investment expenses, on our invested assets. Our loans, at fair value, are generally floating rate and therefore earn LIBOR plus a spread. Generally, our interest income on those loans will increase in a rising interest rate environment, or decrease in a declining rate environment, subject to any LIBOR floors. Our held to maturity investments generally carry fixed coupons, which can impact our returns on investment. 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, we report unrealized gains (losses) within net realized gains (losses) on investment on the consolidated statement of income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the net investment portfolio loss was $0.4 million compared to $3.8 million of income in the comparable 2017 period. The average annualized yield declined from 4.2% in 2017 to (0.4)% in 2018 as a result of realized and unrealized losses of $3.4 million, primarily related to investments in equities, compared to realized and unrealized gains of $1.0 million in 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, fair market value changes on equities resulted in $5.5 million of losses compared to $1.7 million of losses in 2017. Partially offsetting the marks, interest expense decreased by $0.5 million as a result of reduced borrowings on credit asset investments and non-performing loans.
Tiptree Capital
We allocate capital across a broad spectrum of investments, which we refer to as Tiptree Capital. As of March 31, 2018, Tiptree Capital includes our asset management operations and mortgage operations, which are both reportable segments, and other investments (including our Invesque shares). We manage Tiptree Capital on a total return basis balancing current cash flow and long term value appreciation.
In the fourth quarter 2017, we sold our interest in our commercial lending business and signed a definitive agreement to sell our interest in our jumbo mortgage business. We have re-balanced our exposure to subordinated notes by retaining vertical tranches of our newly issued CLOs in the insurance company investment portfolio including Telos 3 (August 2017) and Telos 4 (January 2018). On February 1, 2018, we completed the sale of Care to Invesque. We received consideration of 16.6 million shares of which 13.5 million shares are held in other investments as part of Tiptree Capital, 2.9 million shares are held in the insurance investment portfolio and 0.2 million shares were paid as compensation to former Care employees. Care was classified as held for sale and a discontinued

operation as of December 31, 2017.

Tiptree Capital earns revenues from net interest income, fees and gain on sale of mortgages originated and sold to investors; management fees from CLOs under management; distributions from investments; realized and unrealized gains on the Company’s investment holdings (historically, primarily CLO subordinated notes and related CLO warehouses); and rental and related income from senior housing triple net lease properties and Managed Properties (now classified as discontinued operations).
Asset Management Results
The decline in pre-tax income from 2017 to 2018 was driven by reduced income from consolidated CLOs, primarily related to reductions in distributions on the subordinated notes as a result of our sales of those notes, and reduced management and incentive fees as discussed below. Total investment in CLO subordinated notes, management fee participation rights, and related derivatives, at fair market value, as of March 31, 2018 was $2.6 million, down from $34.1 million as of March 31, 2017. The sale of CLO subordinated notes resulted in decreased distributions which were $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $2.5 million in the 2017 period. Realized and unrealized gains associated with the CLO subordinated notes were $2.6 million in 2017 and did not repeat in the 2018 period.
Management and incentive fee income was $1.6 million for the 2018 period compared to $2.1 million for the 2017 period. The decline was driven by reduced fee-earning AUM and lower incentive fees on older CLOs (Telos 1 & 2). As of March 31, 2018, total fee earning AUM was $1.6 billion, which declined from $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2017 as the run-off in our older CLOs have not been replaced with new AUM.
Mortgage Results
Pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million in 2017. Revenues on mortgages held for sale in 2018 were $13.0 million compared to $12.8 million in 2017. The slight increase was driven by expanding gain on sale margins and interest income which was substantially offset by reduced volumes which were $207.4 million for the 2018 period, compared to $225.3 million for the 2017 period. Expenses were $12.8 million for the 2018 period, which was up $0.3 million as compared to the prior year period.
Other Results
Pre-tax income from other investments includes our investment in Invesque shares, our held for sale jumbo mortgage business, our commercial lending operations through its sale date in December 2017, and other principal investments. In the 2018 period, the results from our investment in Invesque shares include dividends received and unrealized gains and losses impacting our financial results. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we received $1.7 million of dividends from Invesque. This was partially offset by unrealized losses of $3.2 million, which were a result of a lower Invesque stock price at March 31, 2018 versus the sale date.

Discontinued Operations Results - Care
Discontinued Operations includes the results from Care, previously reported in the Senior Living segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the pre-tax income was $46.8 million compared to a loss of $1.5 million in the 2017 period. The increase was driven by a $46.2 million pre-tax gain on sale of Care.

Invested Capital
Invested Capital declined from $190.8 million as of March 31, 2017 to $147.2 million as of March 31, 2018. As a result of the asset sales in 2017, cash held at Tiptree corporate increased from $13.2 million as of March 31, 2017 to $47.8 million as of March 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for Tiptree Capital declined from $9.5 million in the 2017 period to $5.5 million in the 2018 period. The decline was primarily driven by a $4.7 million reduction in asset management income as a result of reduced CLO distributions, gains on CLO investments and lower incentive fees on older CLOs. Mortgage Adjusted EBITDA also declined period-over-period by $0.6 million as volume declined from the 2017 period.
Adjusted EBITDA for our senior housing investments that are carried in discontinued operations was $6.1 million, up period-over-period driven by the impact of the gain on sale (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization). This was partially offset by unrealized losses on the Invesque shares of $3.2 million.

Results
Corporate expenses include expenses of the holding company for interest, employee compensation and benefits, and other costs. Corporate employee compensation and benefits 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 increased $0.5 million from the 2017 period to the 2018 period driven by increased incentive compensation expense primarily associated with stock-based compensation. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.6 million, a reduction of $0.7 million, which decreased in the 2018 period compared to 2017 as a result of decreased borrowings. As of March 31, 2018 the outstanding borrowings were $28.0 million compared to $58.0 million at March 31, 2017. Other expenses were $2.3 million for 2018 as compared to $2.2 million in 2017. The modest period-over-period increase was driven by audit fees and expenses associated with the tax law changes.

Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes - Total Operations
The total income tax expense of $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and total income tax expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is reflected as a component of net income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate was equal to 27.1%, which does not bear a customary relationship to the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, primarily from state taxes on the gain on sale of Care.
Provision for income taxes - Continuing Operations
The Company had a tax benefit from continuing operations of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to a tax expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was approximately 22.3% compared to 40.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Differences from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are primarily the result of the dividends received deduction offset by other discrete items.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was equal to 40.6%, which does not bear a customary relationship to the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0%, primarily from state taxes and other discrete items.
Balance Sheet Information - as of March 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017
Tiptree’s total assets were $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2018, compared to $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2017. The $300.8 million decrease in assets is primarily attributable to the sale of Care in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Additionally, loans at fair value and amortized cost and assets held for sale decreased, partially offset by increases in equity securities, notes and accounts receivable and reinsurance receivable. 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 Tiptree Inc. stockholders’ equity was $320.1 million as of March 31, 2018 compared to $300.1 million as of December 31, 2017, primarily driven by net income in the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018 there were 29,805,453 shares of Tiptree Class A common stock outstanding, net of Treasury shares held at a subsidiary, as compared to 28,387,616 as of December 31, 2017.

(1) | The consolidated asset-based 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, mortgage and other operations. |
(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. |
(3) | For Reliance, within our mortgage operations, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes in contingent earn-outs. For our specialty insurance operations, depreciation and amortization on senior living real estate that is within net investment income is added back to Adjusted EBITDA. For Care (Discontinued Operations), the reduction in EBITDA is related to accumulated depreciation and amortization, and certain operating expenses, which were previously included in Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods. |

Specialty Insurance - Underwriting Margin - Non-GAAP
Underwriting margin is a measure of the underwriting profitability of our specialty insurance operations. 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 underwriting margin and pre-tax income for the following periods:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and other liquid investments and distributions from operating subsidiaries, including income from our investment portfolio and sales of investments. We intend to use our cash resources to continue to fund our operations and 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 March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $81.2 million, compared to $110.7 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $29.4 million.
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—(10) Debt, net for additional information regarding our mortgage warehouse borrowings.
15
For purposes of determining enterprise value and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider 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 at the insurance company and corporate level.

Our intermediate holding company has a credit facility with Fortress which carries a rate of 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 credit agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter. The outstanding debt under the Fortress credit agreement was $28.0 million as of March 31, 2018 compared to $28.5 million as of December 31, 2017. On May 4, 2018, we amended the Fortress credit agreement to increase the amount outstanding to $75 million, subject to a six month make whole on prepayments, extend the maturity date to September 18, 2020 and lower the interest rate margin to 5.50%. See Note (22) Subsequent Events for additional information.
On October 16, 2017, Fortegra completed an offering of $125 million Junior Subordinated Notes due 2057. The Notes contain customary financial covenants that require, among other items, maximum leverage and limitations on restricted payments under certain circumstances. As a result, in certain adverse circumstances, such limitations could restrict our ability to grow, or limit the dividends to the holding company to pay our obligations. Substantially all of the net proceeds from the Notes were used to repay existing indebtedness. 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 (10) Debt, net for additional information of our debt and that of our subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
For a discussion of recently adopted and issued accounting standards see the section “Recent Accounting Standards” in Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the normal course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements including entering into derivative financial instruments and hedging transactions, operating leases and sponsoring and owning interests in consolidated and non-consolidated variable interest entities.
Further disclosure on our off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2018 is presented in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in “Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this filing as follows:
• | Note (9) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging |
• | Note (20) Commitments and Contingencies |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K described our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Other than the below, there were no material changes to the assumptions or risks during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2018, we owned 16.43 million shares of common stock, or approximately 34%, of Invesque, a real estate investment company that specializes in health care real estate and senior living property investment throughout North America. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, we have agreed to restrictions on the sale of our Invesque shares for a period ranging from 6 months to 18 months. The value of our Invesque shares will be reported at fair market value on a quarterly basis and may fluctuate. Invesque has historically paid monthly dividends but there can be no assurance that Invesque will continue to pay dividends in the same frequency or amount. A loss in the fair market value of our Invesque shares or a reduction or discontinuation in the dividends paid on our Invesque shares could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
18
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Fortegra 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. In January 2018, in response to a Plaintiffs’ motion, the court vacated its November 2017 order granting Fortegra’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to the life certificates at issue with leave to refile. No trial or additional 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, 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, 2017. There have been no material change in those risk factors.

(1) | On March 19, 2018, Tiptree engaged a broker in connection with a share repurchase program for the repurchase, by a subsidiary of the company, of up to $10 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. The Company expects the share purchases to be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Unless otherwise completed or terminated earlier, the repurchase program will expire on March 19, 2019. The Board of Directors of Tiptree also authorized Tiptree to make additional block repurchases of $10 million in the aggregate from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to Tiptree’s Executive Committee’s discretion. |
