1.Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), has a third fiscal quarter that ends on the 31st of December for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a third quarter that ends on the 30 th of September for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the presentation of financial position or results of operations. We disclose material events, if any, occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2019 and 2018 correspond to fiscal 2020 and 2019 for AMERCO.

Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated into U.S. dollars. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 are unaudited.

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The available-for-sale tables include gross unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

We sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $ 187.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $ 4.6 million. The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $ 0.2 million.

The unrealized losses of more than twelve months in the available-for-sale tables are considered temporary declines. We track each investment with an unrealized loss and evaluate them on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairments, including obtaining corroborating opinions from third party sources, performing trend analysis and reviewing management’s future plans. Certain of these investments may have declines determined by management to be other-than-temporary and we recognize these write-downs, if any, through earnings. There were no write-downs in the third quarter or first nine months of fiscal 2020 or 2019.

The investment portfolio primarily consists of corporate securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions. We believe we monitor our investments as appropriate. Our methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific analysis as of the balance sheet date and considers various factors, including the length of time to maturity, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the debtor is current on its contractually obligated interest and principal payments. Nothing has come to management’s attention that would lead to the belief that any issuer would not have the ability to meet the remaining contractual obligations of the security, including payment at maturity. We have the ability and intent not to sell our fixed maturity and common stock investments for a period of time sufficient to allow us to recover our costs.

The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of mortgage-backed securities credit losses include ratings, delinquency rates, and prepayment activity. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of asset backed securities credit losses include the time frame for principal recovery and the subordination and value of the underlying collateral.

There were no credit losses recognized in earnings for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively.

Real Estate Backed Loans

Real Estate Loan

Real Estate and certain of its subsidiaries and U-Haul Company of Florida are borrowers under a real estate loan (the “Real Estate Loan”). The Real Estate Loan requires monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The Real Estate Loan is secured by various properties owned by the borrowers.

The interest rate, per the provisions of the amended loan agreement, is the applicable London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2019, the applicable LIBOR was 1.72 % and the applicable margin was 1.50 %, the sum of which was 3.22 %. The default provisions of the Real Estate Loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

Senior Mortgages

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul are borrowers under certain senior mortgages. The senior mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments. The senior mortgages are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The fixed interest rates, per the provisions of the senior mortgages, range between 3.36 % and 6.62 %. Certain senior mortgages have an anticipated repayment date and a maturity date. If these senior mortgages are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on these mortgages would increase from the current fixed rate. We are using the anticipated repayment date for our maturity schedule. Real Estate and U-Haul have provided limited guarantees of the senior mortgages. The default provisions of the senior mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

Real Estate Loans (Revolving Credit)

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate are borrowers under asset-backed real estate loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 335.0 million. These loans are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The loan agreements provide for term loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreements. The loans require monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The interest rate, per the provision of the loan agreements, is the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2019, the applicable LIBOR was 1.70 % and the margin was between 1.25 % and 1.50 %, the sum of which was between 2.95 % and 3.20 %. Certain loans have interest rate swaps fixing the rate between 3.03 % and 3.14 % based on current margins. AMERCO is the guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

AMERCO is a borrower under a real estate loan. The current maximum credit commitment is $ 150.0 million, which can be increased to $ 300.0 million by bringing in other lenders. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance was $100.0 million. This loan agreement provides for revolving loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreement. This loan requires monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. As of December 31, 2019, the applicable LIBOR was 1.70 % and the margin was 1.38 %, the sum of which was 3.08 %. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There is a 0.30% fee charged for unused capacity.

Fleet Loans

Rental Truck Amortizing Loans

The amortizing loans require monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans were used to purchase new trucks. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are carried at fixed rates ranging between 1.95 % and 4.66 %.

AMERCO, and in some cases U-Haul, is guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of these loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

Rental Truck Revolvers

Various subsidiaries of U-Haul entered into three revolving fleet loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 590.0 million. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2019, the applicable LIBOR was between 1.69 % and 1.71 %, and the margin was 1.15 %, the sum of which was between 2.84 % and 2.86 %. Only interest is paid on the loans until the last nine months of the respective loan terms when principal becomes due monthly.

Finance/Capital Leases

The Finance/Capital Lease balance represents our sale-leaseback transactions of rental equipment that were entered into and classified as capital leases prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on April 1, 2019. The historical capital lease balance was reclassified to Right-of-use assets-finance, net. The agreements are generally 7 year terms with interest rates ranging from 1.92 % to 5.04 %. All of our finance leases are collateralized by our rental fleet. There were no new financing leases, as assessed under the new leasing guidance, entered into during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Finance Liabilities

Finance Liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions that have historically been accounted for as capital leases prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on April 1, 2019, which substantially changed the accounting for sale-leasebacks going forward. In accordance with the new leasing guidance, we assess if sale-leaseback transactions qualify as a sale at initiation by determining if a transfer of ownership occurs. We have determined that our equipment sale-leasebacks do not qualify as a sale, as the buyer-lessors do not obtain control of the assets in our ongoing sale-leaseback arrangements. As a result, we expect future sale-leasebacks to be accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets will be capitalized at cost. Our finance liabilities have an average term of 7 years and interest rates ranging from 2.73 % to 4.22 %. These finance liabilities are collateralized by our rental fleet.

Other Obligations

In February 2011, AMERCO and U.S. Bank, NA (the “Trustee”) entered into the U-Haul Investors Club ® Indenture. AMERCO and the Trustee entered into this indenture to provide for the issuance of notes by us directly to investors over our proprietary website, uhaulinvestorsclub.com (“U-Notes ® ”). The U-Notes ® are secured by various types of collateral, including, but not limited to, rental equipment and real estate. U-Notes ® are issued in smaller series that vary as to principal amount, interest rate and maturity. U-Notes ® are obligations of the Company and secured by the associated collateral; they are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes ® issued was $ 87.0 million, of which $ 2.9 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation. Interest rates range between 2.50 % and 8.00 % and maturity dates range between 2020 and 2048 .

Oxford is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and, as such, the FHLB has made deposits with Oxford. As of September 30, 2019, the deposits had an aggregate balance of $ 60.0 million, for which Oxford pays fixed interest rates between 1.72 % and 2.95 % with maturities between March 30, 2019 and September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2019, available-for-sale investments held with the FHLB totaled $ 120.1 million, of which $ 67.9 million were pledged as collateral to secure the outstanding deposits. The balances of these deposits are included within Liabilities from investment contracts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5. Derivatives

We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rates with the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt and a variable rate operating lease. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.

8. Leases

Lessor

We have determined that revenues derived by providing self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage rentals and certain other revenues, including U-Box rentals, are within the scope of the accounting guidance contained in Topic 842. Our self-moving equipment rental related revenues have been accounted for under the revenue accounting standard Topic 606, until the adoption of Topic 842.

For the periods after April 1, 2019, we combined all lease and non-lease components of lease contracts for which the timing and pattern of transfer are the same and the lease component meets the classification of an operating lease, and account for them in accordance with Topic 842. The revenue streams accounted for in accordance with Topic 842 are recognized evenly over the period of rental. Please see Note 15, Revenue Recognition, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lessee

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, which are comprised primarily of storage rental locations, are included in Right-of-Use (“ROU“) assets - operating and operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2019. Finance leases, which are comprised primarily of rental equipment leases, are included in ROU assets - financing, net, and notes, loans and finance/capital leases payable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2019.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the calculation of ROU assets when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately. Additionally, for certain leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities as the leases are similar in nature and have nearly identical contract provisions.

Adoption of this standard resulted in most of our operating lease commitments being recognized as operating lease liabilities and ROU assets, which increased total assets and total liabilities by approximately $ 105.4 million related to property operating leases, as of April 1, 2019. In addition, we reclassified a net amount of $ 948.2 million related to vehicle financing leases from property, plant, and equipment, net to ROU assets financing, net.

The standard also changed the manner by which we account for our equipment sale/leaseback transactions. Based on our assessment, the lease transactions are classified as financing leases, and therefore the transactions do not qualify as a sale. Pursuant to the guidance, new sale leaseback transactions that fail to qualify as a sale will be accounted for as a financial liability. Please see Note 4, Borrowings, of the Notes to Condendsed Consolidated Finanical Statements for additional information.

9. Contingencies

Environmental

Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments may significantly affect Real Estate’s business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the air, land and water and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Since 1988, Real Estate has managed a testing and removal program for underground storage tanks.

Based upon the information currently available to Real Estate, compliance with the environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to result in a material adverse effect on AMERCO’s financial position or results of operations.

Other

We are named as a defendant in various other litigation and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, none of these other matters will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

10. Related Party Transactions

As set forth in the Company’s Audit Committee Charter and consistent with NASDAQ Listing Rules, our Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and maintains oversight over related party transactions, which are required to be disclosed under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, all such related party transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for ongoing review and oversight. Our internal processes are designed to ensure that our legal and finance departments identify and monitor potential related party transactions that may require disclosure and Audit Committee oversight.

AMERCO has engaged in related party transactions and has continuing related party interests with certain major stockholders, directors and officers of the consolidated group as disclosed below.

SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding II Corporation (collectively “SAC Holdings”) were established in order to acquire and develop self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by us pursuant to management agreements. In the past, we sold real estate and various self-storage properties to SAC Holdings, and such sales provided significant cash flows to us. SAC Holdings, Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation (“4 SAC”), Five SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Galaxy Investments, L.P. and 2015 SAC self-storage are substantially controlled by Blackwater Investments, Inc. (“Blackwater”). Blackwater is wholly owned by Willow Grove Holdings LP (“WGHLP”), which is owned by Mark V. Shoen (a significant stockholder), and various trusts associated with Edward J. Shoen (our Chairman of the Board, President and a significant stockholder) and Mark V. Shoen.

We currently manage the self-storage properties owned or leased by Blackwater and Mercury Partners, L.P. (“Mercury”), pursuant to a standard form of management agreement, under which we receive a management fee of between 4 % and 10 % of the gross receipts plus reimbursement for certain expenses. We received management fees, exclusive of reimbursed expenses, of $ 22.7 million and $ 23.8 million from the above-mentioned entities during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. This management fee is consistent with the fee received for other properties we previously managed for third parties. Mark V. Shoen controls the general partner of Mercury. The limited partner interests of Mercury are owned indirectly by James P. Shoen and various trusts benefitting Edward J. Shoen and James P. Shoen or their descendants. Mercury holds the option to purchase a portfolio of properties currently leased by Mercury and a U-Haul subsidiary, which option is exercisable in 2024.

We lease space for marketing company offices, vehicle repair shops and hitch installation centers from subsidiaries of Blackwater. The terms of the leases are similar to the terms of leases for other properties owned by unrelated parties that are leased to us.

As of December 31, 2019, subsidiaries of Blackwater acted as independent dealers. The financial and other terms of the dealership contracts are substantially identical to the terms of those with our other independent dealers whereby commissions are paid by us based upon equipment rental revenues.

These agreements with subsidiaries of Blackwater, excluding Dealer Agreements, provided revenues of $ 18.3 million, expenses of $ 2.0 million and cash flows of $ 16.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $ 236.4 million and $ 50.0 million, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

In December 2019, Real Estate completed the sale of two office buildings to Oxford at cost for approximately $ 15.0 million. Oxford assumed the debt securing the property of $ 11.5 million and paid the balance in cash. There were no gains on this transaction.

Management determined that we do not have a variable interest pursuant to the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation (“ASC 810”) in the holding entities of Blackwater based upon management agreements which are with the individual operating entities; therefore, we are precluded from consolidating these entities.
