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 2021 and 2020 correspond to fiscal 2022 and 2021 for AMERCO.

Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated into U.S. dollars.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 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 the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)

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.

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 nine months as of December 31, 2021.

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

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, 2021, the applicable LIBOR was 0.11% and the applicable margin was 1.50 %, the sum of which was 1.61 %. 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.

The weighted average interest rate of these loans as of December 31, 2021 was 4.06%. 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.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)

Finance Liabilities

Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions and 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, sale-leasebacks are accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets are 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.

Private Placements

In September 2021, AMERCO entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $ 600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. These notes consist of four tranches each totaling $ 150.0 million and funded in September 2021. The fixed interest rates range between 2.43 % and 2.78 %. Interest is payable semiannually.

In December 2021, AMERCO entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $ 600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. These notes funded on January 27, 2022. These notes consist of three tranches each totaling $ 100.0 million and two tranches each totaling $ 150.0 million. The fixed interest rates range between 2.55 % and 2.88 % with maturities between 2030 and 2035 . Interest is payable semiannually.

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, 2021, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes ® issued was $ 90.1 million, of which $ 2.3 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation.

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. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

Gains or losses recognized in income on interest rate derivatives are recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we recognized a decrease in the fair value of our cash flow hedges of $0.1 million, net of taxes. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we reclassified $2.3 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to interest expense. As of December 31, 2021, we expect to reclassify $2.3 million of net losses on interest rate contracts from AOCI to earnings as interest expense over the next twelve months.

We use derivatives to hedge our equity market exposure to indexed annuity products sold by our Life Insurance company. These contracts earn a return for the contractholder based on the change in the value of the S&P 500 index between annual index point dates. We buy and sell listed equity and index call options and call option spreads. The credit risk is with the party in which the options are written. The net option price is paid up front and there are no additional cash requirements or additional contingent liabilities. These contracts are held at fair market value on our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, these derivative hedges had a net market value of $ 6.6 million and $ 6.6 million, with notional amounts of $ 399.1 million and $ 282.7 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of these derivative hedges that was recognized in earnings was a gain of ($0.8) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and a loss of $44 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These derivative instruments are included in Investments, other, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Although the call options are employed to be effective hedges against our policyholder obligations from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under GAAP. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of the call options are recognized each reporting date as a component of net investment and interest income. The change in fair value of the call options include the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term and the changes in the fair value for open contracts.

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.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)

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, net and operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases, which are comprised primarily of rental equipment leases, are included in ROU assets - financing, net, and notes, loans and finance leases payable, net in our balance sheets.

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 amortizing 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.

Our equipment sale/leaseback transactions are classified as financing leases, and therefore the transactions do not qualify as a sale. New sale leaseback transactions that fail to qualify as a sale are accounted for as a financial liability. Please see Note 4, Borrowings, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

9. Contingencies

COVID-19

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.

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 2022 and beyond.

CARES Act

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“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. As a result of the federal income tax provisions of the CARES Act, we have filed applicable forms with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to carryback net operating losses. These refund claims total approximately $366 million, of which we have received approximately $243 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, and 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.

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. SAC Holdings, Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Five SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Galaxy Investments, L.P. and 2015 SAC Self-Storage, LLC 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 $ 27.1 million and $ 24.5 million from the above-mentioned entities during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, 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, 2021, 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 $ 21.6 million, expenses of $ 1.8 million and cash flows of $ 19.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $ 335.3 million and $ 70.5 million, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Management determined that we do not have a variable interest pursuant to the variable interest entity model under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation 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.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt and short-term borrowings are based on the rates estimated to be currently available for debt of similar term and remaining maturity.

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.

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 disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.

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

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)

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 December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

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. 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. 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. Additionally, in certain contracts the Company has the ability to earn an incentive fee based on operational results. 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 third quarter of fiscal 2022 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. 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 with Topic 842

The Company’s self-moving rental revenues meet the definition of a lease pursuant to the guidance in Topic 842 because those substitution rights do not provide an economic benefit to the Company that would exceed the cost of exercising the right. Please see Note 8, Leases, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)

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.

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.

The following table summarizes the minimum lease payments due from our customers and operating property tenants on leases for the next five years and thereafter:

		Year Ending December 31,

Total	$	21,386	$	12,024	$	8,610	$	6,450	$	5,286	$	48,888

The amounts above do not reflect future rental revenue from the renewal or replacement of existing leases.

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.

Property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the policy periods. Interest and investment income are recognized as earned.

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.

In the above tables, the revenues recognized over time include property management fees, the shipping fees associated with U-Box rentals and a portion of other revenues. Revenues recognized at a point in time include self-moving equipment rentals, self-moving and self-storage products and service sales and a portion of other revenues .

We recognized liabilities resulting from contracts with customers for self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage revenues, U-Box revenues and tenant revenue, in which the length of the contract goes beyond the reported period end, although rental periods of the equipment, storage and U-Box contract are generally short-term in nature. The timing of revenue recognition results in liabilities that are reflected in deferred income on the balance sheet.

16. Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade Receivables

Moving and Storage has two (2) primary components of trade receivables, receivables from corporate customers and credit card receivables from sales and rental of equipment. For credit card receivable, the Company uses a trailing 13 months average historical chargeback percentage of total credit card receivable. The Company rents equipment to corporate customers in which payment terms are 30 days.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and assesses each customer’s credit worthiness. In addition, the Company monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains an allowance 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.

Management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables because the composition of trade receivables as of that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). To adjust the historical loss rates to reflect the effects of these differences in current conditions and forecasted changes, management assigns a rating to each customer which varies depending on the assessment of risk. Management estimated the loss rate at approximately 2%. Management developed this estimate based on its knowledge of past experience for which there were similar improvements in the economy. As a result, management applied the applicable credit loss rates to determine the expected credit loss estimate for each aging category. Accordingly, the allowance for expected credit losses at December 31, 2021 was $ 4.3 million.

Available-for-Sale

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. 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.

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 quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Accrued interest receivables on available for sale securities totaled $ 29.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and are excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

We have elected not to measure an allowance on accrued interest receivables as our practice is to write off the uncollectible balance in a timely manner. Furthermore, we have elected to write off accrued interest receivables by reversing interest income.

Mortgage loans, net

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost. Modeling for the Company‘s mortgage loans is based on inputs most highly correlated to defaults, including loan-to-value, occupancy, and payment history. Historical credit loss experience provides additional support for the estimation of expected credit losses. In assessing the credit losses, the portfolio is reviewed on a collective basis, using loan-specific cash flows to determine the fair value of the collateral in the event of default. Adjustments to this analysis are made to assess loans with a loan-to-value of 65% or greater. These loans are evaluated on an individual basis and loan specific risk characteristics such as occupancy levels, expense, income growth and other relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

When management determines that credit losses are expected to occur, an allowance for expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral is recorded.

Reinsurance recoverable

Reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid benefits was less than 1 % of the total assets as of January 1, 2021 which is immaterial based on historical loss experience and high credit rating of the reinsurers.

Premium receivables

Premiums receivables were $ 2.0 million as of September 30, 2021 in which the credit loss allowance is immaterial based on our ability to cancel the policy if the policyholder doesn't pay premiums.

The following details the changes in the Company’s reserve allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, fixed maturities and investments, other:

17. Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-08, Clarifying Guidance on Amortization of the Excess of the Cost Basis of Certain Callable Debt Securities Over the Amount Repayable. This standard requires that, for each reporting period, callable debt securities be reevaluated to determine if they remain subject to the guidance, which will depend on the amortized cost basis of the security and the terms of the next call option. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (“ASU 2018-12”). The amendments in this update require insurance companies to annually review and update the assumptions used for measuring the liability under long-duration contracts, such as life insurance, disability income, and annuities. The amendment prescribes standardized liability discount rate, consistency in measurement of market risk benefits, simplified amortization of deferred acquisition costs and enhanced disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 2020. In November 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-11, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944) , which deferred the effective date of ASU 2018-12 to years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-12 on our financial statements; however, the adoption of ASU 2018-12 will impact the statements of operations because the effect of any update to the assumptions we used at the inception of the contracts will be recorded in net income.

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This standard provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. We adopted ASU 2021-01 on a prospective basis effect and there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or the SEC that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, these ASUs entail technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance related to specialized industries or entities and therefore will have minimal, if any, impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with the overall strategy of AMERCO, followed by a description of, and strategy related to, our operating segments to give the reader an overview of the goals of our businesses and the direction in which our businesses and products are moving. We then discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. Next, we discuss our results of operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, which is followed by an analysis of liquidity changes in our balance sheets and cash flows, and a discussion of our financial commitments in the sections entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources - Summary and Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments and a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements. We conclude this MD&A by discussing our current outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2022.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly Report, including the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The various sections of this MD&A contain a number of forward-looking statements, as discussed under the caption, Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks described throughout this filing or in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control and our actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation, 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 30th 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 2021 and 2020 correspond to fiscal 2022 and 2021 for AMERCO.

Overall Strategy

Our overall strategy is to maintain our leadership position in the United States and Canada “do-it-yourself” moving and storage industry. We accomplish this by providing a seamless and integrated supply chain to the “do-it-yourself” moving and storage market. As part of executing this strategy, we leverage the brand recognition of U-Haul with our full line of moving and self-storage related products and services and the convenience of our broad geographic presence.

Our primary focus is to provide our customers with a wide selection of moving rental equipment, convenient self-storage rental facilities, portable moving and storage units and related moving and self-storage products and services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Impairment of Investments

Under the current expected credit loss model, a valuation allowance is recognized in earnings for credit losses. If we intend to sell a debt 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 debt 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.

There were no incremental impairment charges recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Results of Operations

AMERCO and Consolidated Entities

Quarter Ended December 31, 2021 compared with the Quarter Ended December 31, 2020

Listed below, on a consolidated basis, are revenues for our major product lines for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the third quarter of fiscal 2021:

		Quarter Ended December 31,
		2021		2020
		(Unaudited)
		(In thousands)
Self-moving equipment rentals	$	975,552	$	808,215
Self-storage revenues		159,424		123,024
Self-moving and self-storage products and service sales		75,402		74,586
Property management fees		9,651		8,765

Other revenue		100,495		69,886
Consolidated revenue	$	1,404,336	$	1,169,982

Self-moving equipment rental revenues increased $167.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Transactions for both our In-Town and one-way markets increased as did revenue per transaction. This quarter’s 21% improvement is compared against a third quarter from last year that had reported a 30% revenue improvement. Compared to the same period last year, we increased the number of retail locations, independent dealers, trucks and towing devices in the rental fleet.

Self-storage revenues increased $36.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The average monthly number of occupied units increased by 24%, or 94,886 units, during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the same period last year. The growth in revenues and square feet rented comes from a combination of occupancy gains at existing locations, the addition of new capacity to the portfolio and from an improvement in average revenue per occupied foot. Over the last twelve months, we added approximately 3.9 million net rentable square feet, with approximately 0.9 million of that coming on during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Sales of self-moving and self-storage products and services increased $0.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increases in propane.

Life insurance premiums decreased $3.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due primarily to decreased sales of single premium life products and policy decrements in Medicare supplement premiums.

Property and casualty insurance premiums increased $5.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. A significant portion of Repwest’s premiums are from policies sold in conjunction with U-Haul rental transactions. The premium increase corresponded with the increased moving and storage transactions at U-Haul during July, August and September.

Net investment and interest income decreased $4.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Increases from our larger invested asset base were partially offset by a $1.5 million loss realized on derivatives used as hedges to fixed indexed annuities at our Life Insurance subsidiary. Changes in the market value of unaffiliated common stocks held at our Property and Casualty Insurance subsidiary accounted for $2.2 million of the decrease. In addition, the change in the provision for expected credit losses resulted in a $1.7 million decrease to the investment income.

Other revenue increased $30.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily coming from increased moving and storage transactions within our U-Box® program.

Listed below are revenues and earnings from operations at each of our operating segments for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The insurance companies’ third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Total costs and expenses increased $101.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating expenses for Moving and Storage increased $116.0 million largely from personnel, fleet repair and maintenance, payment processing, and freight costs. Repair costs associated with the rental fleet experienced a $31.9 million increase during the quarter due to preventative maintenance from higher customer activity combined with a slowdown in the rotation of new equipment into the fleet and older equipment out of the fleet. Net gains from the disposal of rental equipment increased $60.6 million from higher resale values. Depreciation expense associated with our rental fleet increased $6.9 million to $126.6 million. COVID-19 related delays at manufacturers continue to affect our fleet plan. Depreciation expense on all other assets, largely from buildings and improvements, increased $4.9 million to $48.8 million. Cost of goods sold associated with our retail sales programs have increased in relation to the increase in sales activity combined with effects from inflation.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations increased $132.8 million to $416.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $283.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $44.0 million, compared with $42.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Average debt outstanding during the period increased while the average cost decreased.

Income tax expense was $90.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $58.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings available to common stockholders were $281.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $183.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $14.35, compared with $9.33 for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

The weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted were 19,607,788 for both the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021.

Moving and Storage

Quarter Ended December 31, 2021 compared with the Quarter Ended December 31, 2020

Listed below are revenues for our major product lines at Moving and Storage for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the third quarter of fiscal 2021:

Self-moving equipment rental revenues increased $167.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Transactions for both our In-Town and one-way markets increased as did revenue per transaction. This quarter’s 21% improvement is compared against a third quarter from last year that had reported a 30% revenue improvement. Compared to the same period last year, we increased the number of retail locations, independent dealers, trucks and towing devices in the rental fleet.

We own and manage self-storage facilities. Self-storage revenues reported in the consolidated financial statements represent Company-owned locations only. Self-storage data for our owned storage locations follows:

	Quarter Ended December 31,
	2021	2020
	(Unaudited)
	(In thousands, except occupancy rate)
Unit count as of December 31	582	532
Square footage as of December 31	48,836	44,948
Average monthly number of units occupied	483	388
Average monthly occupancy rate based on unit count	83.6%	73.4%
Average monthly square footage occupied	42,239	34,802

Over the last twelve months, we added approximately 3.9 million net rentable square feet of new storage to the system. This was a mix of existing storage locations we acquired and new development. On average, the occupancy rate of this new capacity on the date it was added was 6.5%.

Other revenue increased $30.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily coming from increased moving and storage transactions within our U-Box® program.

Total costs and expenses increased $96.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating expenses for Moving and Storage increased $116.0 million largely from personnel, fleet repair and maintenance, payment processing, and freight costs. Repair costs associated with the rental fleet experienced a $31.9 million increase during the quarter due to preventative maintenance from higher customer activity combined with a slowdown in the rotation of new equipment into the fleet and older equipment out of the fleet. Net gains from the disposal of rental equipment increased $60.6 million from higher resale values. Depreciation expense associated with our rental fleet increased $6.9 million to $126.6 million. COVID-19 related delays at manufacturers continue to affect our fleet plan. Depreciation expense on all other assets, largely from buildings and improvements, increased $4.9 million to $48.8 million. Cost of goods sold associated with our retail sales programs have increased in relation to the increase in sales activity combined with effects from inflation.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations for Moving and Storage before consolidation of the equity in the earnings of the insurance subsidiaries, increased $139.8 million to $403.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $264.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Equity in the earnings of AMERCO’s insurance subsidiaries was $10.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $16.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations increased to $414.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $280.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Property and Casualty Insurance

Quarter Ended September 30, 2021 compared with the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Net premiums were $26.5 million and $20.7 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A significant portion of Repwest’s premiums are from policies sold in conjunction with U-Haul rental transactions. The premium increase corresponded with the increased moving and storage transactions at U-Haul during the same period.

Net investment and interest income were $3.3 million and $5.9 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The main driver for the decrease was the quarter over quarter decrease in our unaffiliated common stock valuations of $2.2 million.

Net operating expenses were $12.2 million and $10.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to an increase in commissions offset by an increase in loss adjusting fees and subrogation income.

Benefits and losses incurred were $7.9 million and $4.9 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was due to unfavorable loss experience.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings from operations were $9.7 million and $11.5 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Life Insurance

Quarter Ended September 30, 2021 compared with the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Net premiums were $27.0 million and $30.0 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Medicare Supplement premiums decreased $2.4 million from the policy decrements offset by premium rate increases. Life premiums decreased $0.7 million from the decrease in sales of single premium life product. Premiums on the remaining lines of business increased $0.1 million. Deferred annuity deposits were $72.2 million or $118.0 million below the prior year and are accounted for on the balance sheet as deposits rather than premiums. The decrease in deferred annuity deposits is a result of highly competitive rates and exceptionally high sales in the third quarter of 2020.

Net investment income was $28.2 million and $30.1 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net realized gains decreased $2.8 million coupled with a $1.5 million loss realized on derivatives used as hedges to fixed indexed annuities. In addition, the change in the provision for expected credit losses resulted in a $1.4 million decrease to the investment income. This was partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in investment income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans due to a larger invested assets base.

Net operating expenses were $5.5 million and $5.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in administrative expenses.

Benefits and losses incurred were $39.4 million and $40.7 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Life benefits decreased $0.5 million primarily due to improved mortality on single premium whole life. Medicare supplement benefits decreased by $1.7 million from the declined policies in force. This was offset by an $0.8 million increase in interest credited to policyholders primarily due to the increase in annuity deposit base from continued sales.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”), sales inducement asset (“SIA”) and the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) was $7.9 million and $6.6 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in DAC amortization is on life policies from higher policy lapses.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings from operations were $3.5 million and $8.7 million for the third quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Listed below on a consolidated basis are revenues for our major product lines for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and the first nine months of fiscal 2021:

		Nine Months Ended December 31,
		2021		2020
		(Unaudited)

Other revenue		349,252		225,440
Consolidated revenue	$	4,541,446	$	3,482,127

Self-moving equipment rental revenues increased $796.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Transactions for both our In-Town and one-way markets increased as did revenue per transaction. Compared to the same period last year, we increased the number of retail locations, independent dealers, trucks and towing devices in the rental fleet.

Self-storage revenues increased $103.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The average monthly number of occupied units increased by 26%, or 95,708 units, during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with the same period last year. The growth in revenues and square feet rented comes from a combination of occupancy gains at existing locations, the addition of new capacity to the portfolio and from an improvement in average revenue per occupied foot. Over the last twelve months we added approximately 3.9 million net rentable square feet, or a 9% increase, with approximately 3.1 million of that coming on during the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Sales of self-moving and self-storage products and services increased $7.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increase sales of moving supplies and propane offset by decreases in hitch sales.

Life insurance premiums decreased $7.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021 due primarily to decreased sales of single premium life products and policy decrements in Medicare supplement premiums.

Property and casualty insurance premiums increased $15.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. A significant portion of Repwest’s premiums are from policies sold in conjunction with U-Haul rental transactions. The premium increase corresponded with the increased moving and storage transactions at U-Haul during the same period.

Net investment and interest income increased $17.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Changes in the market value of unaffiliated common stocks held at our Property and Casualty Insurance subsidiary accounted for $4.4 million of the increase for the nine months. Our Life Insurance subsidiaries investment income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans increased $12.7 million on a larger invested asset base, had a net gain of $1.4 million on derivatives used as hedges to fixed index annuities and had a decrease of $4.1 million in net realized gains. In addition, the change in the provision for expected credit losses resulted in a $3.2 million increase to the investment income.

Other revenue increased $123.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021, primarily coming from increased moving and storage transactions within our U-Box ® program.

Listed below are revenues and earnings from operations at each of our operating segments for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The insurance companies’ first nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Total costs and expenses increased $399.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Operating expenses for Moving and Storage increased $357.3 million largely from personnel, fleet repair and maintenance, property taxes, payment processing and freight costs associated with U-Box. Repair costs associated with the rental fleet experienced a $94.0 million increase for the nine months of fiscal 2022 due to preventative maintenance from higher customer activity combined with a slowdown in the rotation of new equipment into the fleet and older equipment out of the fleet. The addition of new equipment has been effected by delays at our original equipment manufacturers. Net gains from the disposal of rental equipment increased $117.9 million from an increase in resale values. Depreciation expense associated with our rental fleet increased $12.4 million to $378.5 million. Depreciation expense on all other assets, largely from buildings and improvements, increased $10.9 million to $140.7 million. Gains on the disposal or retirement of real

estate increased $7.2 million from a condemnation gain of $4.9 million in fiscal 2022 and fewer roof replacement write-offs in fiscal 2022 compared with fiscal 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations increased to $1,489.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared with $829.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $122.8 million, compared with $122.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to a reduction in borrowing costs.

Income tax expense was $328.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with $169.8 million for first nine months of fiscal 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings available to common shareholders were $1,036.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with $537.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were $52.86, compared with $27.39 for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

The weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted were 19,607,788 for both the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations for Moving and Storage before consolidation of the equity in the earnings of the insurance subsidiaries increased to $1,442.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with $789.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Equity in the earnings of AMERCO’s insurance subsidiaries was $37.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with $32.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations increased to $1,480.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with $822.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Property and Casualty Insurance

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Net premiums were $67.3 million and $51.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A significant portion of Repwest’s premiums are from policies sold in conjunction with U-Haul rental transactions. The premium increase corresponded with the increased moving and storage transactions at U-Haul during the same period.

Net investment and interest income was $15.5 million and $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The main driver of the change in net investment income was the increase in valuation of unaffiliated common stock of $4.4 million.

Net operating expenses were $31.8 million and $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was due to an increase in commissions offset by an increase in loss adjusting fees and subrogation income.

Benefits and losses incurred were $16.7 million and $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was due to unfavorable loss experience.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings from operations were $34.1 million and $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Life Insurance

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Net premiums were $84.6 million and $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Medicare Supplement premiums decreased $6.7 million from the policy decrements offset by premium rate increases. Life premiums decreased $0.8 million due to the decrease in sales of single premium life product offset by the increased final expense renewal premiums. Premiums on the remaining lines of business increased $0.1 million. Deferred annuity deposits were $256.6 million or $22.9 million below the prior year and are accounted for on the balance sheet as deposits rather than premiums. The decrease in deferred annuity deposits is a result of highly competitive rates and exceptionally high sales in the third quarter of 2020.

Net investment income was $88.4 million and $75.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Investment income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans increased $12.7 million on a larger invested assets base. A net gain of $1.4 million was realized on derivatives used as hedges to fixed indexed annuities. In addition, the change in the provision for expected credit losses resulted in a $2.9 million increase to the investment income. This was partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in net realized gains and a $0.2 million decrease in investment income on the remaining assets.

Net operating expenses were $16.1 million and $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increase in administrative expenses offset by the decreased commissions on Medicare supplement and single premium life due to declined premiums.

Benefits and losses incurred were $122.5 million and $119.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest credited to policyholders increased $7.8 million from the increase in the annuity deposit base due to sales. Life benefits increased $0.9 million primarily due to increased mortality on the final expense product partially attributable to COVID-19, offset by decreased benefits on single premium life product. Benefits on remaining products increased $0.2 million. This was offset by a $5.7 million decrease in Medicare supplement benefits from the declined policies in force.

Amortization of DAC, SIA and VOBA were $23.5 million and $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in the Annuity DAC amortization resulted from a higher asset base supported by continuous sales. DAC amortization on life policies also increased from higher policy lapses and increased death benefits. This was partially offset by a decrease in Medicare supplement DAC Amortization from a decline in the in-force.

As a result of the above-mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings from operations were $13.5 million and $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe our current capital structure is a positive factor that will enable us to pursue our operational plans and goals and provide us with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future. There are many factors that could affect our liquidity, including some which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that future cash flows and liquidity resources will be sufficient to meet our outstanding debt obligations and our other future capital needs.

As of December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,327.5 million, compared with $1,194.0 million as of March 31, 2021. The assets of our insurance subsidiaries are generally unavailable to fulfill the obligations of non-insurance operations (Moving and Storage). As of December 31, 2021 (or as otherwise indicated), cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets (receivables, short-term investments, other investments, fixed maturities, and related party assets) and debt obligations of each operating segment were:

		Moving & Storage		Property & Casualty Insurance (a)		Life Insurance (a)
		(Unaudited)
		(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,254,215	$	8,065	$	65,182
Other financial assets		220,401		477,324		3,024,370
Debt obligations		5,397,856		–		–

(a) As of September 30, 2021

As of December 31, 2021, Moving and Storage had additional cash available under existing credit facilities of $90.0 million. The majority of invested cash at the Moving and Storage segment is held in government money market funds.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $412.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue and profitability, a decrease in interest paid of $10.0 million and $119.6 million of federal income taxes received, net of payments, offset by increases in cash used for inventory and parts of $64.4 million.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $793.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Purchases of property, plant and equipment increased $691.0 million. Reinvestment in the rental fleet was less than originally anticipated due to delays in receiving new equipment from manufacturers during the first nine months of fiscal 2022; however, the level of reinvestment in the rental fleet has increased in comparison to the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Cash from the sales of property, plant and equipment increased $48.9 million largely due to fleet sales. For our insurance subsidiaries, net cash used in investing activities increased $159.0 million due to increased investment purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $621.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2021. This was due to a combination of decreased debt payments of $234.6 million, decreased finance lease payments of $44.4 million, an increase in cash from borrowings of $411.9 million, a decrease in net annuity deposits from Life Insurance of $63.2 million and a decrease in dividends paid of $19.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Requirements of Our Operating Segments

Moving and Storage

To meet the needs of our customers, U-Haul maintains a large fleet of rental equipment. Capital expenditures have primarily consisted of new rental equipment acquisitions and the buyouts of existing fleet from leases. The capital to fund these expenditures has historically been obtained internally from operations and the sale of used equipment and externally from debt and lease financing. In the future, we anticipate that our internally generated funds will be used to service the existing debt and fund operations. U-Haul estimates that during fiscal 2022 the Company will reinvest in its rental equipment fleet approximately $495 million, net of equipment sales and excluding any lease buyouts. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the Company invested, net of sales, approximately $338 million before any lease buyouts in its rental equipment fleet. Fleet investments in fiscal 2022 and beyond will be dependent upon several factors including the availability of capital, the truck rental environment, the availability of equipment from manufacturers and the used-truck sales market. We anticipate that the fiscal 2022 investments will be funded largely through debt financing, external lease financing and cash from operations. Management considers several factors including cost and tax consequences when selecting a method to fund capital expenditures. Our allocation between debt and lease financing can change from year to year based upon financial market conditions which may alter the cost or availability of financing options. Based upon interactions with our existing lenders, the Company does not believe that COVID-19 will materially inhibit our ability to obtain financing for the purchases of rental equipment in fiscal 2022. Should the situation severely worsen this belief could change.

The Company has traditionally financed the acquisition of self-storage properties to support U-Haul's growth through debt and funds from operations. The Company’s plan for the expansion of owned storage properties includes the acquisition of existing self-storage locations from third parties, the acquisition and development of bare land, and the acquisition and redevelopment of existing buildings not currently used for self-storage. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, the Company invested $783 million in real estate acquisitions, new construction and renovation and repair. For fiscal 2022, the timing of new projects will be dependent upon several factors, including the entitlement process, availability of capital, weather, the identification and successful acquisition of target properties and any lingering effects of COVID-19. U-Haul's growth plan in self-storage also includes the expansion of the U-Haul Storage Affiliate program, which does not require significant capital.

Net capital expenditures (purchases of property, plant and equipment less proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and lease proceeds) were $1,169.2 million and $527.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The components of our net capital expenditures are provided in the following table:

		Nine Months Ended December 31,
		2021		2020
		(Unaudited)
		(In thousands)
Purchases of rental equipment	$	808,944	$	546,612
Equipment lease buyouts		–		11,477
Purchases of real estate, construction and renovations		782,725		365,237
Other capital expenditures		61,315		38,669
Gross capital expenditures		1,652,984		961,995
Less: Sales of property, plant and equipment		(483,783)		(434,860)
Net capital expenditures	$	1,169,201	$	527,135

Moving and Storage continues to hold significant cash and has access to additional liquidity. Management may invest these funds in our existing operations, expand our product lines or pursue external opportunities in the self-moving and storage marketplace or reduce existing indebtedness where possible.

Property and Casualty Insurance

State insurance regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies. As a result, Property and Casualty Insurance’s assets are generally not available to satisfy the claims of AMERCO or its legal subsidiaries.

We believe that stockholders’ equity at Property and Casualty Insurance remains sufficient, and we do not believe that its ability to pay ordinary dividends to AMERCO will be restricted per state regulations.

Property and Casualty Insurance’s stockholder’s equity was $285.4 million and $262.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase resulted from net earnings of $26.9 million, and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $4.1 million. Property and Casualty Insurance does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no direct exposure to capital market conditions other than through its investment portfolio.

Life Insurance

Life Insurance manages its financial assets to meet policyholder and other obligations, including investment contract withdrawals and deposits. Life Insurance’s net deposits for the nine months as of September 30, 2021 were $93.9 million. State insurance regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies. As a result, Life Insurance’s assets are generally not available to satisfy the claims of AMERCO or its legal subsidiaries.

Life Insurance’s stockholder’s equity was $451.1 million and $479.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease resulted from net earnings of $10.9 million, and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $39.0 million primarily due to the effect of interest rate changes on the fixed maturity portion of the investment portfolio. Outside of its membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system, Life Insurance has not historically used debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has not had any significant direct exposure to capital market conditions other than through its investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2021, Oxford had outstanding deposits of $60.0 million in the FHLB. For a more detailed discussion of this deposit, please see Note 4, Borrowings, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Provided from Operating Activities by Operating Segments

Moving and Storage

Net cash provided from operating activities were $1,698.9 million and $1,277.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue and profitability, a decrease in interest paid of $10.0 million and $119.6 million of federal income taxes received, net of payments, offset by increases in cash used for inventory and parts of $64.4 million.

Property and Casualty Insurance

Net cash provided by operating activities were $23.1 million and $11.1 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was the result of changes in intercompany balances and the timing of payables activity.

Property and Casualty Insurance’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolios amounted to $25.8 million and $12.9 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These balances reflect funds in transition from maturity proceeds to long-term investments. Management believes this level of liquid assets, combined with budgeted cash flow, is adequate to meet foreseeable cash needs. Capital and operating budgets allow Property and Casualty Insurance to schedule cash needs in accordance with investment and underwriting proceeds.

Life Insurance

Net cash provided by operating activities were $67.2 million and $88.3 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to timing of settlement of payables and receivables, offset by an increase in collected investment income.

In addition to cash flows from operating activities and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds are available through Life Insurance’s short-term portfolio and its membership in the FHLB. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $65.2 million and $178.1 million, respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity are adequate to meet foreseeable cash needs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Summary

We believe we have the financial resources needed to meet our business plans, including our working capital needs. We continue to hold significant cash and have access to existing credit facilities and additional liquidity to meet our anticipated capital expenditure requirements for investment in our rental fleet, rental equipment and storage acquisitions and build outs.

As a result of the federal income tax provisions of the CARES Act, we have filed applicable forms with the IRS to carryback net operating losses. These refund claims total approximately $366 million, of which we have received approximately $243 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, and are reflected in Prepaid expense. These amounts are expected to provide us additional liquidity whenever received. It is possible future legislation could negatively impact our ability to receive these tax refunds.

Our borrowing strategy is primarily focused on asset-backed financing, rental equipment leases and private placement borrowings limited by the amount of unencumbered assets available. As part of this strategy, we seek to ladder maturities and fix interest rates. While each of these loans typically contains provisions governing the amount that can be borrowed in relation to specific assets, the overall structure is flexible with no limits on overall Company borrowings. Management believes it has adequate liquidity between cash and cash equivalents and unused borrowing capacity in existing credit facilities to meet the current and expected needs of the Company over the next several years. As of December 31, 2021, we had available borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities of $90.0 million. It is possible that circumstances beyond our control could alter the ability of the financial institutions to lend us the unused lines of credit. We believe that there are additional opportunities for leverage in our existing capital structure. For a more detailed discussion of our long term debt and borrowing capacity, please see Note 4, Borrowings, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our estimates as to future contractual obligations have not materially changed from the disclosure included under the subheading Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use off-balance sheet arrangements in situations where management believes that the economics and sound business principles warrant their use.

Historically, we have used off-balance sheet arrangements in connection with the expansion of our self-storage business. For more information please see Note 10, Related Party Transactions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These arrangements were primarily used when our overall borrowing structure was more limited. We do not face similar limitations currently and off-balance sheet arrangements have not been utilized in our self-storage expansion in recent years. In the future, we will continue to identify and consider off-balance sheet opportunities to the extent such arrangements would be economically advantageous to us and our stockholders.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

We will continue to focus our attention on increasing transaction volume and improving pricing, product and utilization for self-moving equipment rentals. Maintaining an adequate level of new investment in our truck fleet is an important component of our plan to meet our operational goals and is likely to increase in fiscal 2022. Revenue in the U-Move ® program could be adversely impacted should we fail to execute in any of these areas. Even if we execute our plans, we could see declines in revenues primarily due to unforeseen events including adverse economic conditions or heightened competition that is beyond our control.

With respect to our storage business, we have added new locations and expanded at existing locations. In fiscal 2022, we are actively looking to complete current projects, increase occupancy in our existing portfolio of locations and acquire new locations. New projects and acquisitions will be considered and pursued if they fit our long-term plans and meet our financial objectives. It is likely spending on acquisitions and new development will increase in fiscal 2022. We will continue to invest capital and resources in the U-Box ® program throughout fiscal 2022.

In light of COVID-19 and its lingering effects, we may be challenged in our progress.

Property and Casualty Insurance will continue to provide loss adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul and underwrite components of the Safemove ® , Safetow ® , Safemove Plus ® , Safestor ® and Safestor Mobile ® protection packages to U-Haul customers.

Life Insurance is pursuing its goal of expanding its presence in the senior market through the sales of its Medicare supplement, life and annuity policies. This strategy includes growing its agency force, expanding its new product offerings, and pursuing business acquisition opportunities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt obligations and one variable rate operating lease. We have used interest rate swap agreements and forward swaps to reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates. We enter into these arrangements with counterparties that are significant financial institutions with whom we generally have other financial arrangements. We are exposed to credit risk should these counterparties not be able to perform on their obligations. Following is a summary of our interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2021:

1 Month LIBOR

As of December 31, 2021, we had $1,136.9 million of variable rate debt obligations. If LIBOR were to increase 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by $9.0 million annually (after consideration of the effect of the above derivative contracts). 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.

Additionally, our insurance subsidiaries’ fixed income investment portfolios expose us to interest rate risk. This interest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates. As part of our insurance companies’ asset and liability management, actuaries estimate the cash flow patterns of our existing liabilities to determine their duration. These outcomes are compared to the characteristics of the assets that are currently supporting these liabilities assisting management in determining an asset allocation strategy for future investments that management believes will mitigate the overall effect of interest rates.

We use derivatives to hedge our equity market exposure to indexed annuity products sold by our Life Insurance company. These contracts earn a return for the contractholder based on the change in the value of the S&P 500 index between annual index point dates. We buy and sell listed equity and index call options and call option spreads. The credit risk is with the party in which the options are written. The net option price is paid up front and there are no additional cash requirements or additional contingent liabilities. These contracts are held at fair market value on our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, these derivative hedges had a net market value of $6.6 million and $6.6 million, with notional amounts of $399.1 million and $282.7 million, respectively. These derivative instruments are included in Investments, other, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Although the call options are employed to be effective hedges against our policyholder obligations from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under GAAP. Accordingly, the call options are marked to fair value on each reporting date with the change in fair value, plus or minus, included as a component of net investment and interest income. The change in fair value of the call options includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term and the changes in fair value for open contracts.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our Canadian business. Approximately 5.2% and 4.7% of our revenue was generated in Canada during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The result of a 10.0% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would not be material to net income. We typically do not hedge any foreign currency risk since the exposure is not considered material.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” regarding future events and our future results of operations. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the SEC or otherwise. We believe such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements may include, but are not limited to, the risk associated with COVID-19 or similar events on employees or customers, impact on the economic environment or demand of our products and the cost and availability of debt and capital, estimates of capital expenditures, plans for future operations, products or services, financing needs, plans and strategies, our perceptions of our legal positions and anticipated outcomes of government investigations and pending litigation against us, liquidity and the availability of financial resources to meet our needs, goals and strategies, plans for new business, storage occupancy, growth rate assumptions, pricing, costs, and access to capital and leasing markets, the impact of our compliance with environmental laws and cleanup costs, our beliefs regarding our sustainable practices, our used vehicle disposition strategy, the sources and availability of funds for our rental equipment and self-storage expansion and replacement strategies and plans, our plan to expand our U-Haul storage affiliate program, that additional leverage can be supported by our operations and business, the availability of alternative vehicle manufacturers, our estimates of the residual values of our equipment fleet, our plans with respect to off-balance sheet arrangements, our plans to continue to invest in the U-Box ® program, the impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate changes on our operations, the sufficiency of our capital resources and the sufficiency of capital of our insurance subsidiaries as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “estimate,” “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Factors that could significantly affect results include, without limitation, the degree and nature of our competition; our leverage; general economic conditions; fluctuations in our costs to maintain and update our fleet and facilities; the limited number of manufacturers that supply our rental trucks; our ability to effectively hedge our variable interest rate debt; that we are controlled by a small contingent of stockholders; fluctuations in quarterly results and seasonality; changes in, and our compliance with, government regulations, particularly environmental regulations and regulations relating to motor carrier operations; outcomes of litigation; our reliance on our third party dealer network; liability claims relating to our rental vehicles and equipment; our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; reliance on our automated systems and the internet; our credit ratings; our ability to recover under reinsurance arrangements and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in this Quarterly Report or the other documents we file with the SEC. The above factors, as well as other statements in this Quarterly Report and in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, could contribute to or cause such risks or uncertainties, or could cause our stock price to fluctuate dramatically. Consequently, the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations or warranties by us that such matters will be realized. We assume no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This "Controls and Procedures" section includes information concerning the controls and procedures evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented in the section titled Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Our Disclosure Controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Our Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Disclosure Controls were effective at a reasonable assurance level related to the above stated design purposes.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of our controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
