Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Global Indemnity Group, LLC (“Global Indemnity”, "GBLI", or “the Company”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 23, 2020, replaced Global Indemnity Limited, incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies as a result of a redomestication transaction completed on August 28, 2020. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s class A common shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GBLI. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s predecessors have been publicly traded since 2003.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restructuring

The Company restructured its insurance operations to strengthen its market presence and enhance its focus on GBLI’s core products. As a result, the Company exited its four brokerage divisions: Professional Liability, Excess Casualty, Environmental, and Middle Market Property. The Company ceased writing new business and non-renewed existing policies for these four divisions. The restructuring plan, which was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2022, was completed in the first quarter of 2023.

 

In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $3.4 million in 2022 and $2.0 million in 2023 for total restructuring costs of $5.4 million. No additional restructuring costs were incurred during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The liability related to the restructuring plan was less than $0.1 million at December 31, 2023. This liability was paid during the first quarter of 2024.

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any declines in value related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:

 

(1)
the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;
(2)
the issuer is in financial distress;
(3)
the investment is secured;
(4)
a significant credit rating action occurred;
(5)
scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed;
(6)
changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry;
(7)
the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity;
(8)
the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and
(9)
changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement.

 

According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. The new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Subject to the risks and uncertainties in evaluating the potential impairment of a security's value, the impairment evaluation conducted by the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 concluded the unrealized losses in the tables above are non-credit losses on securities where management does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery.

 

The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities was $3.5 million and $7.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any:

 

U.S. treasuries – As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasuries were $0.683 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities. Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on U.S. treasuries during the period.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions – As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were $0.634 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, elements that may influence the performance of the municipal bond market are considered in evaluating these securities such as investor expectations, supply and demand patterns, and current versus historical yield and spread relationships. The analysis relies on the output of fixed income credit analysts, as well as dedicated municipal bond analysts who perform extensive in-house fundamental analysis on each issuer, regardless of their rating by the major agencies. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions during the period.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) – As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were $2.438 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, mortgage-backed securities are modeled to project principal losses under downside, base, and upside scenarios for the economy and home prices. The primary assumption that drives the security and loan level modeling is the Home Price Index (“HPI”) projection. These forecasts incorporate not just national macro-economic trends, but also regional impacts to arrive at the most granular and accurate projections. These assumptions are incorporated into the model as a basis to generate delinquency probabilities, default curves, loss severity curves, and voluntary prepayment curves at the loan level within each deal. The model utilizes HPI-adjusted current loan to value, payment history, loan terms, loan modification history, and borrower characteristics as inputs to generate expected cash flows and principal loss for each bond under various scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on mortgage-backed securities during the period.

 

Asset backed securities (“ABS”) - As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were $2.810 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset backed portfolio is 38.0. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before an asset backed security will incur its first dollar of principal losses. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, every ABS transaction is analyzed on a stand-alone basis. This analysis involves a thorough review of the collateral, prepayment, and structural risk in each transaction. Additionally, the analysis includes an in-depth credit analysis of the originator and servicer of the collateral. The analysis projects an expected loss for a deal given a set of assumptions specific to the asset type. These assumptions are used to calculate at what level of losses the deal will incur its first dollar of principal loss. The major assumptions used to calculate this ratio are loss severities, recovery lags, and no advances on principal and interest. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on asset backed securities during the period.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) - As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were $2.526 million. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s CMBS portfolio is 44.0. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before a commercial mortgage-backed security will incur its first dollar of principal loss. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, a loan level analysis is utilized where every underlying CMBS loan is re-underwritten based on a set of assumptions reflecting expectations for the future path of the economy. Each loan is analyzed over time using a series of tests to determine if a credit event will occur during the life of the loan. Inherent in this process are several economic scenarios and their corresponding rent/vacancy and capital market states. The five primary credit events that frame the analysis include loan modifications, term default, balloon default, extension, and ability to pay off the balloon. The resulting output is the expected loss adjusted cash flows for each bond under the base case and distressed scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on commercial mortgage-backed securities during the period.

 

Corporate bonds - As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were $2.777 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, analysis for this asset class includes maintaining detailed financial models that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on corporate bonds during the period.

 

Foreign bonds – As of September 30, 2024, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were $1.604 million. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, detailed financial models are maintained that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on foreign bonds during the period.

Variable Interest Entities

 

A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights. Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results.

 

The Company has interests in three limited partnership investments with a carrying value approximating fair value of $29.5 million and $38.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company has a variable interest in two of these limited partnership investments, for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method since its ownership interest exceeds 3%.

 

The carrying value of one of the Company’s VIE’s, which invests in distressed securities and assets, was $3.4 million and $4.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments of $14.2 million, was $17.6 million and $18.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company does not expect any capital calls will be made prospectively. The carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of a second VIE that invests in Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) qualifying assets was $8.6 million and $8.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s investment in VIEs is included in other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in carrying value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.

 

 

16


 

The Company’s invested assets are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The securities classified as Level 1 in the above tables consist of U.S. treasuries actively traded on an exchange.

 

The securities classified as Level 2 in the above tables consist primarily of fixed maturities and preferred stocks. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities and preferred stocks, security prices are

 

17


 

derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has funded $35.8 million of this commitment leaving $14.2 million as unfunded. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company does not expect any capital calls will be made prospectively.
(2)
This limited partnership invests in REIT qualifying assets such as mortgage loans, investor property loans, and commercial mortgage loans. The Company does not have the ability to sell or transfer its limited partnership interest without consent from the general partner. The Company does not have the contractual option to redeem its limited partnership interest but receives distributions based on the liquidation of the underlying assets.
(3)
This limited partnership invests in performing, stressed or distressed securities and loans across the global fixed income markets. The Company does have the contractual option to withdraw all or a portion of its limited partnership interest by providing notice to the fund. On July 31, 2023, the Company provided the Global Debt Fund, LP with a formal withdrawal request to fully redeem the partnership interest. Partial redemption proceeds of $8.7 million were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Limited Partnerships with ownership interest exceeding 3%

 

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in limited partnerships where its ownership interest exceeds 3%. The equity method of accounting for an investment in limited partnerships requires that its cost basis be updated to

 

18


 

account for the income or loss earned on the investment. In the Fair Value of Alternative Investments table above, all of the investments are booked on a one quarter lag due to non-availability of data at the time the financial statements are prepared. The investment income (loss) associated with the limited partnerships whose ownership interest exceeds 3% is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the amounts of ($0.2) million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Pricing

 

The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:

 

Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges.

 

Corporate and agency bonds, as well as preferred stock, are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities.

 

Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds.
For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

 

Commitments

 

In 2014, the Company entered into a $50 million commitment to purchase an alternative investment vehicle which is comprised of European non-performing loans. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has funded $35.8 million of this commitment leaving $14.2 million as unfunded. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company does not expect any capital calls will be made prospectively.

 

Other Commitments

 

The Company is party to a Management Agreement, as amended, with Fox Paine & Company, LLC, whereby in connection with certain management services provided to it by Fox Paine & Company, LLC, the Company agreed to pay an annual

management fee to Fox Paine & Company, LLC. See Note 9 above for additional information pertaining to this management agreement.

Segment Information

 

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company restructured its insurance operations to strengthen its market presence and enhance GBLI's focus on core products and made the decision to manage the business through two segments, Penn-America and Non-Core Operations. Management believes these segments allow users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows, and make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. Segment results for prior years have been revised to reflect these changes.

 

The Company manages the distribution of its core product offerings through Penn-America. Penn-America offers specialty property and casualty products designed for GBLI's Wholesale Commercial, Specialty Products, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance product offerings. The Company also has a Non-Core Operations segment that contains lines of business that have been de-emphasized or are no longer being written.

Results of Operations

 

The Company's net income was $12.8 million and $7.7 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $34.2 million and $19.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net investment income increased by $2.3 million and $6.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. This increase in net investment income was primarily due to strategies employed by the Company to take advantage of rising interest rates which resulted in a 15% increase in book yield on the fixed maturities portfolio to 4.6% at September 30, 2024 from 4.0% at September 30, 2023. The weighted average duration of the fixed maturities portfolio was 0.8 years as of September 30, 2024.

 

The Company generated underwriting income of $5.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2023 and generated underwriting income of $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2023. This increase in underwriting income is driven by strong underwriting results within the Company's Penn-America segment due to growth in gross written premiums and improved current accident year combined ratios compared to the same period in 2023. Penn-America’s gross written premiums increased 18.7% for the quarter and 7.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Penn-America’s accident year combined ratio improved to 92.1% for the quarter compared to 96.3% in the same period in 2023 and improved to 93.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 96.7% in same period in 2023.

(1)
Gross written premiums represent the amount received or to be received for insurance policies written without reduction for reinsurance costs, ceded premiums or other deductions.
(2)
Net written premiums equal gross written premiums less ceded written premiums.

 

Gross written premiums increased by 0.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Penn-America’s growth of 18.7% driven by its Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions more than offset the decline in premiums resulting from its Non-Core segment.

 

Gross written premiums decreased by 11.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Penn-America’s growth of 7.4% driven by its Wholesale Commerical, InsurTech and Assumed Reinsurance divisions partially offset the decline in premiums resulting from its Non-Core segment.

 

In aggregate, Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions grew by 23.3% for the quarter and 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. The growth in Wholesale Commercial and InsurTech is driven by premium rate increases, new agency appointments, organic growth of existing agents, and new products. The growth in Assumed Reinsurance is primarily due to new treaties entered into during 2023 and 2024 and increased participation or organic growth from existing treaties.

 

The decline in premiums in Non-Core Operations is due to lines of business that have been de-emphasized or no longer written.

 

Net Retention

The ratio of net written premiums to gross written premiums is referred to as the Company’s net premium retention.

The Company's net premium retention increased 0.7 points to 97.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 96.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and increased 2.0 points to 97.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024

 

33


 

from 95.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the termination of two quota share agreements and lower cost on the Company's catastrophe reinsurance treaty.

Net Earned Premiums

 

Net earned premiums within the Penn-America segment increased by 12.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to continued premium growth in Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions. Property net earned premiums were $43.0 million and $33.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $50.9 million and $49.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net earned premiums within the Penn-America segment increased by 2.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The premium growth in Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions was partially offset by a reduction in premiums written for Specialty Products as a result of underwriting actions taken in 2023 to improve underwriting profitability. Property net earned premiums were $122.1 million and $106.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $150.4 million and $160.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net earned premiums within the Non-Core Operations segment decreased by 94.9% and 89.2% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to the non-renewal of a casualty treaty and a reduction in earned premiums due to the sale of Farm, Ranch & Stable renewal rights on August 8, 2022. There were no property earned premiums for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Property earned premiums were $0.9 million and $14.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $1.5 million and $27.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12.4 million and $100.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Reserves

 

Amounts recorded for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s best estimate at September 30, 2024. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $840.2 million and $769.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024.

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the

impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $159.6 million for claims occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

The current accident year non-catastrophe property loss ratio increased by 7.0 points during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 reflecting higher claims severity in the calendar quarter compared to last year.

 

The current accident year catastrophe loss ratio improved by 7.2 points during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 recognizing lower claims frequency in the calendar quarter compared to last year.

 

The current accident year casualty loss ratio improved by 4.3 points during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 mainly reflecting high case incurred emergence in the habitational class of business which led to a higher selected loss ratio in the third quarter of 2023.

The calendar year loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 55.6% (includes a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.1 percentage points related to prior accident years) compared to 62.9% (includes an increase of $10.9 million, or 4.1 percentage points related to prior accident years). Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.

Excludes realized gains and losses

Net investment income increased by 16.1% and 17.5% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. This increase in net investment income was primarily due to strategies employed by the Company to take advantage of rising interest rates which resulted in a 15% increase in book yield on the fixed maturities portfolio to 4.6% at September 30, 2024 from 4.0% at September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2024, the Company held asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations with a market value of $279.4 million. Excluding the asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 0.6 years as of September 30, 2024, compared with 1.0 years as of September 30, 2023. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. The Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 4.6% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 4.0% as of September 30, 2023. The embedded book yield on the $17.2 million of taxable municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio was 2.8% at September 30, 2024, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.0% on the Company’s taxable municipal bonds of $26.2 million at September 30, 2023.

Corporate and Other Operating Expenses

 

Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees and advisory fees, and salaries and benefits for holding company personnel. Corporate and other operating expenses were $5.9 million and $5.3 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $18.7 million and $16.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in corporate and other operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in professional fees.

 

42


 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $3.1 million and $1.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $8.6 million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to higher taxable income during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023.

 

See Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods.

Net Income

The factors described above resulted in net income of $12.8 million and $7.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and net income of $34.2 million and $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

The most critical accounting policies involve significant estimates and include those used in determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, recoverability of reinsurance receivables, investments, fair value measurements, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred acquisition costs, and taxation. For a detailed discussion on each of these policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to any of these policies or underlying methodologies during the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Funds

 

Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company. Its principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, and Penn-Patriot Insurance Company.

 

Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s current short term and long term liquidity needs include but are not limited to the payment of corporate expenses, distributions to shareholders, and share repurchases. The Company also has commitments in the form of operating leases, commitments to fund limited liability investments, and unpaid losses and loss expense obligations. In order to meet its current short term and long term needs, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s principal sources of cash includes investment income, dividends from subsidiaries, other permitted disbursements from its direct and indirect subsidiaries, reimbursement for equity awards granted to employees and intercompany borrowings. The principal sources of funds at these direct and indirect subsidiaries include underwriting operations, investment income, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments, capital contributions, intercompany borrowings, and dividends from subsidiaries. Funds are used principally by these operating subsidiaries to pay claims and operating expenses, to make intercompany debt payments, to purchase investments, and to make distribution payments. In addition, the Company periodically reviews opportunities related to business acquisitions, and as a result, liquidity may be needed in the future.

GBLI Holdings, LLC is a holding company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn-Patriot Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC’s principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries which include United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, and Penn-Star Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries as well as reimbursements from its subsidiaries for utilization of net operating losses and other tax attributes in order to meet its corporate expense obligations and intercompany financing obligations.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company also had future funding commitments of $14.2 million related to one of the Company's investments in a limited partnership. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company does not expect any capital calls will be made prospectively.

The future liquidity of Global Indemnity Group, LLC is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to generate income to pay dividends and to pay intercompany debt due to Global Indemnity Group, LLC. The future liquidity of GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to generate income to pay dividends as well as receiving reimbursements from its subsidiaries for utilization of net operating losses. Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC’s insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation - Statutory Accounting Principles” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes. See Note 21 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on dividend limitations related to the Insurance Companies. There were no dividends declared or paid by the Company's insurance subsidiaries during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Cash Flows

 

Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income. Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments. As a result of the distribution policy, funds may also be used to pay distributions to shareholders of the Company.

 

The Company’s reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operations is generally influenced by the following:

the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commissions, in advance of losses paid;
the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and
the timing of the Company’s loss payments.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.3 million and $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows of approximately $15.5 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items:

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of Part I in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024. The risk factors identified therein have not materially changed.
