1.Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), has a second fiscal quarter that ends on the 30 th of September for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a second quarter that ends on the 30 th of June 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 2020 and 2019 correspond to fiscal 2021 and 2020 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 September 30, 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 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, 2020.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Description of Legal Entities

AMERCO is the holding company for:

U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”);

Amerco Real Estate Company (“Real Estate”);

Repwest Insurance Company (“Repwest”); and

Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”).

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to AMERCO and all of its legal subsidiaries.

Description of Operating Segments

AMERCO has three ( 3 ) reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage, Property and Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance.

The Moving and Storage operating segment (“Moving and Storage”) includes AMERCO, U-Haul and Real Estate and the wholly owned subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate. Operations consist of the rental of trucks and trailers, sales of moving supplies, sales of towing accessories, sales of propane, and the rental of fixed and portable moving and storage units to the “do-it-yourself” mover and management of self-storage properties owned by others. Operations are conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul ® throughout the United States and Canada.

  by us and our wholly owned subsidiaries whose purpose is to provide insurance products related to our moving and storage business.

The Life Insurance operating segment (“Life Insurance”) includes Oxford and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Life Insurance provides life and health insurance products primarily to the senior market through the direct writing and reinsuring of life insurance, Medicare supplement and annuity policies.

Summary of Significant Accounting Polices

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 for a summary of significant accounting policies. At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 , Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In addition, new disclosures are required. The new standard requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. It also limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases   We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. We modified our policy on accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and assess each customer's credit worthiness. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon applying an expected credit loss rate to receivables based on the historical loss rate from similar high risk customers adjusted for current conditions, including any specific customer collection issues identified, and forecasts of economic conditions. Delinquent account balances are written off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $2.9 million and did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Please see Note 16, Allowance for Credit Losses, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

2. Earnings per Share

Our earnings per share is calculated by dividing our earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted.

The weighted average common shares outstanding exclude post-1992 shares of the employee stock ownership plan that have not been committed to be released. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, all of these shares were released.

3. Investments

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

We deposit bonds with insurance regulatory authorities to meet statutory requirements. The adjusted cost of bonds on deposit with insurance regulatory authorities was $ 32.2 million and $ 30.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

We sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $ 224.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $ 3.1 million. The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $ 1.0 million.

We adopted   ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as of April 1, 2020. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether the security is below investment grade.   For securities that are below investment grade, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors such as the interest rate environment. Declines in value due to credit are recognized as an allowance. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse market conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.   If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, cumulative default rates based on ratings are used to determine the potential cost of default, by year.   The present value of these potential costs is then compared to the amortized cost of the security to determine the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. If we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the write down is charged against the allowance for credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. Reversals of the allowance for credit losses are permitted and should not exceed the allowance amount initially recognized.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. There were no incremental impairment charges recorded during the first six months as of September 30, 2020.

The adjusted cost and estimated market value of available-for-sale investments by contractual maturity were as follows:

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 September 30, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.16 % and the applicable margin was 1.50 %, the sum of which was 1.66 %. 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 3.11 % and 6.62 %. The weighted average interest rate of these loans as of September 30, 2020 was 4.32 %. 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 $ 385.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding balance of these loans in the aggregate was $ 385.0 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 final maturity of the loans is between June 2022 and March 2025 . 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 September 30, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.16 % and the margin was between 1.25 % and 1.50 %, the sum of which was between 1.41 % and 1.66 %. 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 $ 200.0 million, which can be increased to $ 300.0 million by bringing in other lenders. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding balance was $ 150.0 million. This loan agreement provides for revolving loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreement. The final maturity of this loan is April 2023 . This loan requires monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. As of September 30, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 1.00 % and the margin was 2.25 %, the sum of which was 3.25 %. 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 2.04 % 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, $ 100.0 million of this debt amount is fixed at a rate of 2.36 %. As of September 30, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.16 %, and the margin was 1.15 %, the sum of which was 1.31 %. 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. The historical capital lease balance was reclassified to Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets-finance, net. The agreements are generally seven (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 six months ended September 30, 2020.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

Finance Liabilities

Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions that have historically been accounted for as capital leases prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, 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 seven (7) years and interest rates ranging from 1.60 % to 4.22 %. These finance liabilities are collateralized by our rental fleet.  

Other Obligations

In May 2020, AMERCO, entered into a $ 200.0 million secured credit facility with PNC Bank, as agent and lead arranger of a syndicate of lenders.   The interest rate, per the provision of the loan agreement, is the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin.   As of September 30, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.50 % and the margin was 2.00 %, the sum of which was 2.50 %. The LIBOR has a floor of 0.50 %. As of September 30, 2020, the balance of this note was $ 90.7 million. The final maturity of this loan is May 2021. This loan was paid off in October 2020.

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 September 30, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes ® issued was $ 86.4 million, of which $ 2.6 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation. Interest rates range between 2.5 % and 8.00 % and maturity dates range between 2020 and 2049 .

Oxford is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and, as such, the FHLB has made deposits with Oxford. As of June 30, 2020, the deposits had an aggregate balance of $ 70.0 million, for which Oxford pays fixed interest rates between 0.00 % and 2.95 % with maturities between September 28, 2020 and March 29, 2025. As of March 31, 2020, available-for-sale investments held with the FHLB totaled $ 181.4 million, of which $ 77.7 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. These fair values are determined using pricing valuation models which include broker quotes for which significant inputs are observable.   They include adjustments for counterparty credit quality and other deal-specific factors, where appropriate and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The derivative fair values reflected in prepaid expense and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the balance sheet were as follows:

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, to 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 “ROU“ assets - operating and operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets dated September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020. 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 balance sheets dated September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

17

 


amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

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. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date including the rate for a fully collateralized loan that can either be fully amortized or financed with a residual at the end of the lease term, for a borrower with similar credit quality in order to determine 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.

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

COVID-19

In late 2019, COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures along with the threat the virus poses have adversely affected workforces, customers, consumer sentiment, economies and financial markets.

During the first six months of fiscal 2021, the Company has been impacted by the spread of COVID-19. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's business, operations and financial results will continue to evolve in ways that the Company is not fully able to predict at this time.   We have experienced customer initiated changes in behavior, actions   by government entities, concerns from our workforce, and reactions from the capital markets.  

Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of COVID-19 at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of future operations, financial position and liquidity in fiscal 2021.

CARES Act

The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We have availed ourselves of the provisions related to deferring certain payroll taxes, carrybacks of net operating losses, and will utilize the technical corrections to tax depreciation methods.   We estimate that the net operating loss carrybacks combined with the depreciation adjustments for our fiscal 2020 federal income tax return will result in a refund of approximately $ 381 million, which are reflected in Prepaid expense. As refunds are received, they will reduce this amount. We have estimated and recorded the overall effects of the CARES Act and do not anticipate a material change. It is possible future legislation could reduce or delay our ability to carryback these losses.

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 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. SAC Holdings, Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation, 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 $ 17.5 million and $ 16.3 million from the above-mentioned entities during the first six months of fiscal 2021 and 2020, 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.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

As of September 30, 2020, 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 $ 12.8 million, expenses of $ 1.3 million and cash flows of $ 11.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $ 167.8 million and $ 35.9 million, respectively, during the first six months of fiscal 2021.

In June 2020, we purchased an airplane from SAC Holdings for $0.4 million.

Management determined that we do not have a variable interest pursuant to the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model under 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.

11. Consolidating Financial Information by Industry Segment:

AMERCO's three reportable segments are:

 

  • Moving and Storage, comprised of AMERCO, U-Haul, and Real Estate and the subsidiaries of UHaul and Real Estate,

 

  • Property and Casualty Insurance, comprised of Repwest and its subsidiaries and ARCOA, and

 

  • Life Insurance, comprised of Oxford and its subsidiaries.

 

Management tracks revenues separately, but does not report any separate measure of the profitability for rental vehicles, rentals of self-storage spaces and sales of products that are required to be classified as a separate operating segment and accordingly does not present these as separate reportable segments. Deferred income taxes are shown as liabilities on the condensed consolidating statements. The information includes elimination entries necessary to consolidate AMERCO, the parent, with its subsidiaries. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent using the equity method of accounting.

14. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and are measured and classified based upon a three-tiered approach to valuation. Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;  

Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not considered to be active, or similar financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means; and

Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable. These reflect management's assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair values of cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to maturity. Fair values of short-term investments, investments available-for-sale, long-term investments, mortgage loans and notes on real estate, and interest rate swap contracts are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. Fair values of trade receivables approximate their recorded value.

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables and notes receivable. Limited credit risk exists on trade receivables due to the diversity of our customer base and their dispersion across broad geographic markets. We place our temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

We have mortgage receivables, which potentially expose us to credit risk. The portfolio of notes is principally collateralized by self-storage facilities and commercial properties. We have not experienced any material losses related to the notes from individual or groups of notes in any particular industry or geographic area. The estimated fair values were determined using the discounted cash flow method and using interest rates currently offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

The carrying amount of long-term debt and short-term borrowings are estimated to approximate fair value as the actual interest rate is consistent with the rate estimated to be currently available for debt of similar term and remaining maturity.

Other investments, including short-term investments, are substantially current or bear reasonable interest rates. As a result, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair value.

The carrying values and estimated fair values for the financial instruments stated above and their placement in the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

15. Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Topic 606

ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , outlines a five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The standard also requires disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

We enter into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of amounts collected from customers for taxes, such as sales tax, and remitted to the applicable taxing authorities. We account for a contract under Topic 606 when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For contracts scoped into this standard, revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by means of transferring goods or services to the customer as applicable to each revenue stream as discussed below. There were no material contract assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

Sales of self-moving and self-storage related products are recognized at the time that title passes and the customer accepts delivery. The performance obligations identified for this portfolio of contracts include moving and storage product sales, installation services and/or propane sales. Each of these performance obligations has an observable stand-alone selling price. We concluded that the performance obligations identified are satisfied at a point in time under Topic 606, which is consistent with the timing of our revenue recognition under legacy guidance. The basis for this conclusion is that the customer does not receive the product/propane or benefit from the installation services until the related performance obligation is satisfied. These products/services being provided have an alternative use as they are not customized and can be sold/provided to any customer. In addition, we only have the right to receive payment once the products have been transferred to the customer or the installation services have been completed. Although product sales have a right of return policy, our estimated obligation for future product returns is not material to the financial statements at this time.

Property management fees are recognized over the period that agreed-upon services are provided. The performance obligation for this portfolio of contracts is property management services, which represents a series of distinct days of service, each of which is comprised of activities that may vary from day to day. However, those tasks are activities to fulfill the property management services and are not separate promises in the contract. We determined that each increment of the promised service is distinct in accordance with paragraph 606-10-25-19. This is because the customer can benefit from each increment of service on its own and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another and no day of service significantly affects either the entity's ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the customer of another day of service. As such, we concluded that the performance obligation is satisfied over time under Topic 606, which is consistent with the timing of our revenue recognition under legacy guidance for the Management Fee component of the compensation received in exchange for the service. Additionally, in certain contracts the Company has the ability to earn an incentive fee based on operational results. Historically, these fees have been recognized once fully determinable. Under Topic 606, we measure and recognize the progress toward completion of the performance obligation on a quarterly basis using the most likely amount method to determine an accrual for the incentive fee portion of the compensation received in exchange for the property management service. The variable consideration recognized is subject to constraints due to a range of possible consideration amounts based on actual operational results. The amount accrued in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Other revenue consists of numerous services or rentals, of which U-Box contracts and service fees from Moving Help are the main components. The performance obligations identified for U-Box contracts are fees for rental, storage and shipping of U-Box containers to a specified location, each of which are distinct. A contract may be partially within the scope of Topic 606 and partially within the scope of other topics. The rental and storage obligations in U-Box contracts meet the definition of a lease in Topic 842, while the shipping obligation represents a contract with a customer accounted for under Topic 606. Therefore, we allocate the total transaction price between the performance obligations of storage fees and rental fees and the shipping fees on a standalone selling price basis. U-Box shipping fees are collected once the shipment is in transit. Shipping fees in U-Box contracts are set at the initiation of the contract based on the shipping origin and destination, and the performance obligation is satisfied over time under Topic 606 which is consistent with the timing of our revenue recognition under legacy guidance. U-Box shipping contracts span over a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts begin and end within the same fiscal year. Moving Help services fees are recognized in accordance with Topic 606. Moving Help services are generated as we provide a neutral venue for the connection between the service provider and the customer for agreed upon services. We do not control the specified services provided by the service provider before that service is transferred to the customer.

Revenue Recognized in Accordance withTopic 842/840

The Company's self-moving rental revenues meet the definition of a lease pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) because those substitution rights do not provide an economic benefit to the Company that would exceed the cost of exercising the right.   Therefore, upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 on April 1, 2019, self-rental contracts are being accounted for as leases.   We do not expect this change to result in a change in the timing and pattern of recognition of the related revenues due to the short-term nature of the self-moving rental contracts. Please see Note 8, Leases, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Self-moving rentals are recognized over the contract period that trucks and moving equipment are rented. We offer two types of self-moving rental contracts, one-way rentals and in-town rentals, which have varying payment terms. Customer payment is received at the initiation of the contract for one-way rentals which covers an allowable limit for equipment usage. An estimated fee in the form of a deposit is received at the initiation of the contract for in-town rentals, and final payment is received upon the return of the equipment based on actual fees incurred. The contract price is estimated at the initiation of the contract, as there is variable consideration associated with ratable fees incurred based on the number of days the equipment is rented and the number of miles driven. Variable consideration is estimated using the most likely amount method which is based on the intended use of the rental equipment by the customer at the initiation of the contract. Historically, the variability in estimated transaction pricing compared to actual is not significant due to the relatively short duration of rental contracts. Each performance obligation has an observable stand-alone selling price. The input method of passage of time is appropriate as there is a direct relationship between our inputs and the transfer of benefit to the customer over the life of the contract. Self-moving rental contracts span a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts began and ended within the same fiscal year.

Self-storage revenues are recognized as earned over the contract period based upon the number of paid storage contract days. Self-storage revenues are recognized in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 840 - Leases.

We lease portions of our operating properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as operating leases. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers.

Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Other Topics

Traditional life and Medicare supplement insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium-paying periods of the contracts when due from the policyholders. For products where premiums are due over a significantly shorter duration than the period over which benefits are provided, such as our single premium whole life product, premiums are recognized when received and excess profits are deferred and recognized in relation to the insurance in force. Life insurance premiums are recognized in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 944 - Financial Services - Insurance.

Property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the policy periods. Interest and investment income are recognized as earned. Property and casualty premiums are recognized in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 944 - Financial Services - Insurance.

Net investment and interest income has multiple components. Interest income from bonds and mortgage notes are recognized when earned. Dividends on common and preferred stocks are recognized on the ex-dividend dates. Realized gains and losses on the sale or exchange of investments are recognized at the trade date. Net investment and interest income is recognized in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 825 - Financial Instruments.
