1.Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO” or the “Company”), has a second fiscal quarter that ends on the 30 th of September for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a second quarter that ends on the 30 th of June for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the presentation of financial position or results of operations. We disclose material events, if any, occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2022 and 2021 correspond to fiscal 2023 and 2022 for AMERCO.

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

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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 was a $ 1.9 million net impairment charge recorded in the first six months ended September 30, 2022.

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

Real Estate Backed Loans

Real Estate Loans

Certain subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul Company of Florida are borrowers under real estate loans. These loans require monthly or quarterly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans are secured by various properties owned by the borrowers. The interest rates per the provisions of $ 210.6 million of these loans, are the applicable Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margins and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 %. As of September 30, 2022, the applicable SOFR was between 2.31 % and 2.51 % and applicable margin was between 0.65 % and 1.38 %, the sum of which was between 3.06 % and 3.99 %. The remaining $ 84.2 million of these loans was fixed with an interest rate of 4.29 %. The default provisions of these real estate loans, include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

Senior Mortgages

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul are borrowers under certain senior mortgages. The senior mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments. The senior mortgages are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The fixed interest rates, per the provisions of the senior mortgages, range between 2.70 % and 5.50 %. The weighted average interest rate of these loans as of September 30, 2022 was 4.09 %. Certain senior mortgages have an anticipated repayment date and a maturity date. If these senior mortgages are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on these mortgages would increase from the current fixed rate. We are using the anticipated repayment date for our maturity schedule. Real Estate and U-Haul have provided limited guarantees of the senior mortgages. The default provisions of the senior mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

Real Estate Loans (Revolving Credit)

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate are borrowers under asset-backed real estate loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 150.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance was $ 150.0 million. These loans are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The loans require monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The interest rate, per the provision of the loan agreements, is the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin. As of September 30, 2022, the applicable LIBOR was between 2.26 % and 2.52 % and the margin was between 1.40 % and 1.50 %, the sum of which was between 3.76 % and 4.02 %. AMERCO is the guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. These loan agreements contain fallback language for the replacement of LIBOR.

AMERCO is a borrower under a real estate loan. As of September 30, 2022, the maximum credit commitment is $150.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the full capacity was available to borrow.

Fleet Loans

Rental Truck Amortizing Loans

The amortizing loans require monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans were used to purchase new trucks. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are carried at fixed rates ranging between 1.61 % and 4.99 %. All of our rental truck amortizing loans are collateralized by the rental equipment purchased. The majority of these loans are funded at 70%, but some may be funded at 100%.

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

Rental Truck Revolvers

Various subsidiaries of U-Haul entered into three revolving fleet loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 615.0 million. The aggregate outstanding balance for these revolvers as of September 30, 2022 was $ 615.0 million. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are SOFR plus the applicable margin. As of September 30, 2022, SOFR was between 2.28 % and 2.60 % and the margin was between 1.15 % and 1.25 %, the sum of which was between 3.53 % and 3.95 %. Of the $ 615.0 million outstanding, $ 100.0 million was fixed with an interest rate of 2.36 %. Only interest is paid on the loans until the last nine months of the respective loan terms when principal becomes due monthly.

Finance Leases

The Finance Lease balance represents our sale-leaseback transactions of rental equipment. The agreements are generally seven (7) year terms with interest rates ranging from 2.16 % to 5.04 %. All of our finance leases are collateralized by our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $ 529.0 million and $ 620.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. There were no new financing leases, as assessed under the new leasing guidance, entered into during the first six months of fiscal 2023.

Finance Liabilities

Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions, and we assess if these 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, these 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 5.55 %. These finance liabilities are collateralized by the related assets of our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $ 1,369.8 million and $ 1,068.3 million as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

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 % with maturities between 2029 and 2033. 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 in January 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 Trust Company, NA, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), entered into the U-Haul Investors Club ® Indenture. AMERCO and the Trustee entered into this indenture to provide for the issuance of notes by us directly to investors over our proprietary website, uhaulinvestorsclub.com (“U-Notes ® ”). The U-Notes ® are secured by various types of collateral, including, but not limited to, rental equipment and real estate. U-Notes ® are issued in smaller series that vary as to principal amount, interest rate and maturity. U-Notes ® are obligations of the Company and secured by the associated collateral; they are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes ® issued was $ 80.7 million, of which $ 1.8 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation. Interest rates range between 1.50 % and 8.00 % and maturity dates range between 2022 and 2049 .

4. 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 SOFR swap rates with the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our SOFR indexed variable rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain SOFR indexed variable rate debt through July 2032. 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.

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 six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, we recognized an increase in the fair value of our cash flow hedges of $ 6.4 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, net of taxes. During the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, we reclassified $ 0.4 million and $ 105 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to interest expense, net of tax. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to reclassify $ 0.4 million of net gains 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 value on our balance sheet. These derivative instruments are included in Investments, other, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net losses of $7.8 million were recognized in Net investment and interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and a net gain of $1.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The fair values of these call options are determined based on quoted market prices from the relevant exchange and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

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 generally accepted accounting principles (“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 fair value for open contracts.

8. Contingencies

Cybersecurity Incident

On September 9, 2022, we announced that the Company was made aware of a data security incident involving U-Haul‘s information technology network. U-Haul detected a compromise of two unique passwords used to access U-Haul customers‘ information. U-Haul took immediate steps to contain the incident and promptly enhanced its security measures to prevent any further unauthorized access. U-Haul retained cybersecurity experts and incident response counsel to investigate the incident and implement additional security safeguards. The investigation determined that between November 5, 2021, and April 8, 2022, the threat actor accessed customer contracts containing customers’ names, dates of birth, and driver’s license or state identification numbers. None of U-Haul’s financial, payment processing or email systems were involved. U-Haul has notified impacted customers and relevant governmental authorities.

Several class action lawsuits related to the incident have been filed against U-Haul. The lawsuits are in their early consolidation phase and will be vigorously defended by the Company; however the outcome of such lawsuits cannot be predicted or guaranteed with any certainty.

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, including various class actions related to AMERCO’s cybersecurity incident described above. In management’s opinion, none of these other matters will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

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 $16.9 million and $19.4 million from the above-mentioned entities during the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in management fees received in the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with the first six months of fiscal 2022 was due to a timing difference of the incentive fee of $4.0 million being paid in March of fiscal 2022. 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.
