2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The interim financial data as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”): In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities (codified in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”)). For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit-related impairment losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain

Assurant, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
 
 
 




internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The Company adopted the guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Not Yet Adopted
Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on the upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.
The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. In July 2020, the FASB issued a proposed accounting standards update that, if adopted, would extend the effective date of this guidance for the Company to January 1, 2023 (with early adoption permitted) and the application transition date would be January 1, 2022.
This guidance will apply to the Company’s preneed life insurance policies, as well as its annuity and universal life products (which are no longer offered and are in run-off). The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting: In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides 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.
The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed.
As LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021, the Company is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance and the impact to debt, investments and derivatives that have references to LIBOR and the subsequent transition to alternative reference rates. 
Improvements to Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible

preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more contracts in an entity’s own equity to qualify for it. The guidance also simplifies the diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculation in the areas of convertible instruments and instruments that qualify for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to address accounting for the guidance changes to the classification, recognition and measurement.
This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations.

4. Acquisitions
American Financial & Automotive Services
On May 1, 2020, the Company acquired American Financial & Automotive Services, Inc. (“AFAS”), a provider of auto finance and insurance products and services, including vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection insurance and other ancillary products sold directly through a network of nearly 600 franchised dealership clients across 40 states. The total consideration was $176.9 million, comprised of a base purchase price of $157.5 million, contingent consideration of $1.5 million and other purchase price adjustments of $17.9 million, including excess cash in the business. The transaction resulted in provisional estimates of $2.9 million in net liabilities, $104.0 million of goodwill and $75.8 million of other intangible assets, which are primarily dealer relationships amortizable over 15 years.

5. Sale of Investment in Iké
In 2014, the Company made an approximately 40% investment in Iké Grupo, Iké Asistencia and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Iké”), a services assistance business, for which the Company paid approximately $110.0 million. At the same time, the Company also entered into a shareholders’ agreement that provided the right to acquire the remainder of Iké from the majority shareholders and the majority shareholders the right to put their interests in Iké to the Company (together, the “put/call”) in mid-2019 at a predetermined price. During 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with the majority shareholders of Iké to extend the put/call. In January 2020, in lieu of exercising the put/call, the Company entered into a formal agreement to sell its interests in Iké.
In May 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interests in Iké and terminated its put/call obligations recognizing a net loss on sale of $3.9 million pre-tax and $2.9 million after-tax. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded aggregate impairment losses and put/call valuation losses of $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. In connection with the anticipated sale, the Company entered into a financial derivative in January 2020 that provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar since the purchase price was to be paid in Mexican Pesos. The Company settled its position upon the sale, resulting in a cash inflow of $22.0 million, and net realized (losses) gains on the derivative of $(0.6) million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
In total, the Company recorded net pre-tax charges of $4.5 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $5.9 million and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, presented as Iké net losses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total impairment and put/call losses resulted in a tax benefit of $6.7 million; however, this was fully offset by a valuation allowance as the realizability of the tax losses in the related tax jurisdiction is unlikely. There was tax expense of $4.3 million on the income arising on the financial derivative, as such contract was originated in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. As such, after-tax charges of $3.5 million and $6.4 million were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $9.3 million and $6.6 million were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In connection with the sale, the Company provided financing to Iké Grupo in an aggregate principal amount of $34.0 million (the “Iké Loan”). The Iké Loan matures in May 2025, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum payable quarterly and provides for quarterly principal amortization payments through the maturity date. The

Iké Loan is classified in other investments in the consolidated balance sheets and resultant interest income will be reflected as a component of net investment income in the consolidated statement of operations.

6. Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASC 326 using a modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for the reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 and after are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts are reported in accordance with previous applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a decrease of $20.4 million to retained earnings, net of tax, as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative impact of adoption.
The following table illustrates the impact of adoption:

The total allowance for credit losses for the financial assets was $51.0 million, $46.2 million and $20.3 million as of June 30, 2020, January 1, 2020 (date of adoption) and December 31, 2019, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the net increase in the allowance for credit losses that reduced pre-tax income was $7.7 million, consisting of increases in the allowance for credit losses of $11.6 million, partially offset by recoveries of $3.9 million, principally related to account write-downs established prior to implementation of the new standard. The net increase is classified in the consolidated statements of operations as follows: $4.4 million is included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses and $3.3 million included in net realized losses on investments, comprised of $1.9 million related to commercial mortgage loans on real estate and $1.4 million related to the Iké Loan (as referenced in Note 5).
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, other net increases to the allowance for credit losses that did not impact income were $23.0 million, including the cumulative effect of adoption of $25.9 million, financial asset write-offs of $2.8 million and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Reinsurance Recoverables
As part of the Company’s overall risk and capacity management strategy, reinsurance is used to mitigate certain risks underwritten by various business segments. The Company is exposed to the credit risk of reinsurers, as the Company remains liable to insureds regardless of whether related reinsurance recoverables are collected. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, reinsurance recoverables totaled $9.58 billion and $9.59 billion, respectively, the majority of which are protected from credit risk by various types of collateral or other risk mitigation mechanisms, such as trusts, letters of credit or by withholding the assets in a modified coinsurance or funds-withheld arrangement.
Methodology:
The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default methodology in estimating the allowance, whereby the credit ratings of reinsurers are used in determining the probability of default. The allowance is established for reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid future policy benefits and claims and benefits. Prior to applying default factors, the net exposure to credit risk is reduced for any collateral for which the right of offset exists, such as funds withheld, assets held in trust and letters of credit, which are part of the reinsurance arrangements, with adjustments to include consideration of credit exposure on the collateral. The methodology used by the Company incorporates historical default factors for each reinsurer based on their credit rating using comparably rated bonds as published by a major ratings service. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing and other relevant factors.
The Company utilizes external credit ratings published by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., at the balance sheet date when determining the allowance. Where rates are not available, the Company assigns default credit ratings based on if the reinsurer is authorized or unauthorized. Of the total recoverables subject to the allowance, 71% were rated A- or better, 24% were rated BBB or BB, and 5% were not rated based on the Company’s analysis and assigned ratings.
The following table presents the changes in the CECL allowance for reinsurance recoverables by portfolio segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $4.0 million was principally due to the reduction of anticipated recoveries upon default following the recent economic downturn related to COVID-19. When determining the allowance at June 30, 2020, the Company did not increase default probabilities by reinsurer since there had been no credit rating downgrades or other negative credit indications of the Company’s reinsurers. The allowance may be increased and income reduced in future periods if there are future ratings downgrades or other measurable information supporting an increase in reinsurer default probabilities, including, but not limited to, collateral reductions.
Premium and Accounts Receivables
The Company is exposed to credit risk from premiums and other accounts receivables. For premiums receivable, the exposure to loss upon a default is often mitigated by the ability to terminate the policy on default and offset the corresponding unearned premium liability. The Company has other mitigating offsets from amounts payable on commissions and profit share arrangements when the counterparty to the receivable is a sponsor/agent of the Company’s insurance product.
Methodology:
For receivables due directly from the insured or consumer, the allowance is generally calculated by aging receivable balances and applying default factors based on the Company’s historical collection data. For receivables due from product sponsors or agents, receivable balances are generally segregated by the sponsor or agent and an appropriate default factor determined based on creditworthiness, billing terms and aging of balances. The financial exposure of a credit loss is determined net of offsets (such as related unearned premium reserves for consumer receivables and receivables net of commissions payable, profit share liabilities and captive reinsurance for balances due from sponsors/agents) prior to applying a default factor.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $4.0 million relates to an increase in past due accounts and default factors following the economic downturn related to COVID-19 to reflect the expectation that future defaults will exceed historical defaults. There is a risk that income may be reduced in future periods for additional credit losses.
Commercial Mortgage Loans

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
 
 
 




The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. and Canada. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 40% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Utah and New York. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.1 million to $12.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and from $0.1 million to $12.3 million as of December 31, 2019.
Methodology:
The Company records commercial mortgage loans at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for the Company’s commercial mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, utilizing a probability-of-default and loss methodology, which incorporates various probability weighted economic scenarios. The probability of default is estimated using macroeconomic factors as well as individual loan characteristics, including loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan term, collateral type, geography and underlying credit. The loss given default is driven primarily by the type and value of underlying collateral, and to a lesser extent by expected liquidation costs and time to recovery. Each loan is analyzed individually based on loan-specific data elements to estimate the expected loss and then aggregated.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status after 90 days of delinquent payments (unless the loans are secured and in the process of collection). A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status before this time if information is available that suggests collection is unlikely. The Company charges off loan and accrued interest balances that are deemed uncollectible. Charge offs are recorded to net income in the period deemed uncollectible.
Upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses from $0.6 million to $2.2 million with the after-tax impact of $1.3 million reflected in retained earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the CECL allowance was increased by an additional $1.9 million due to an increase in anticipated default factors following the recent economic downturn related to COVID-19.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at June 30, 2020.

Available for Sale Securities
ASC 326 includes certain changes to the accounting and reporting for impairments involving available for sale securities, including presentation of credit-related impairments as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment, eliminating duration of unrealized loss as a consideration when assessing recognition of an impairment, recognition of credit impairments upon purchase of securities as applicable, and requiring reversals of previously recognized credit-related impairments when applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company’s updated accounting policy for available for sale securities is as follows:
For available for sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, changes to the credit rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, among other factors. If this assessment indicates a potential credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit-related impairment exists, and a charge to income and an associated allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit-related impairment. Any impairment not related to credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Upon recognizing a credit-related impairment, the cost basis of the security is not adjusted.
Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. For fixed maturities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. Write-offs are charged against the allowance when management concludes the financial asset is uncollectible. For fixed maturities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par.
For available for sale fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment loss, or difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security, is recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of the security is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized and is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. 
The Company reports receivables for accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities available for sale and elected not to measure allowances for credit losses for accrued investment income as uncollectible balances are written off in a timely manner.

7. Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted, implementing numerous changes to tax law including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company filed a refund claim for $198.4 million and recorded a $79.3 million tax benefit related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act, resulting in a decrease of the deferred tax asset of $107.1 million and increase to the current receivable of $186.4 million. The Company accrued a $5.1 million after-tax interest benefit related to the refund from the carryback for the three months ended June 30, 2020, included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also recorded a $1.7 million refundable employee retention tax credit for the three months ended June 30, 2020, included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Due to the recent enactment of this legislation, the Company continues to assess the potential tax impacts on its financial position and results of operations.

9. Contract Revenues
The Company partners with clients to provide consumers a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products are accounted for as insurance contracts and are recognized over the term of the insurance protection provided. Revenues from service contracts and sales of products are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for performing the services or transferring products. If payments are received before the related revenue is recognized, the amount is recorded as unearned revenue or advance payment liabilities, until the performance obligations are satisfied or the products are transferred.
The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $155.6 million and $218.2 million for Global Lifestyle and $23.7 million and $27.4 million for Global Housing for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $454.7 million and $425.8 million for Global Lifestyle and $45.8 million and $57.6 million for Global Housing for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Global Lifestyle
In the Company’s Global Lifestyle segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Connected Living business. Through partnerships with mobile carriers, the Company provides administrative services related to its mobile device protection products, including program design and marketing strategy, risk management, data analytics, customer support and claims handling, supply chain and service delivery, repair and logistics, and device disposition. Administrative fees are generally billed monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period (for example, based on the number of mobile subscribers) with payment due within a short-term period. Each service or bundle of services, depending on the contract, is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.
The Company also sells repaired or refurbished mobile and other electronic devices. Revenue from products sold is recognized when risk of ownership transfers to customers, generally upon shipment. Each product has a standalone selling price that is determined through analysis of various factors including market data, historical costs and product lifecycle status. Payments are generally due prior to shipment or within a short-term period.
Global Housing
In the Company’s Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business. Under the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business, the Company provides loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. The Company generally invoices its customers weekly or monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period with payment due within a short-term period. Each service is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.
Contract Balances
The receivables and unearned revenue under these contracts were $199.8 million and $83.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020, and $185.0 million and $87.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. These balances are included in premiums and accounts receivable and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $27.2 million and $30.2 million, respectively.
In certain circumstances, the Company defers upfront commissions and other costs in connection with client contracts in excess of one year where the Company can demonstrate future economic benefit. For these contracts, expense is recognized as revenues are earned. The Company periodically assesses recoverability based on the performance of the related contracts. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $15.5 million and $25.8 million, respectively, of such intangible assets attributed to service contracts that will be expensed over the term of the client contracts.

The Company’s state, municipality and political subdivision holdings are highly diversified across the U.S., with no individual state, municipality or political subdivision exposure (including both general obligation and revenue securities) exceeding 0.3% of the overall investment portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the securities included general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers, including $38.7 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of advance refunded or escrowed-to-maturity bonds (collectively referred to as “pre-refunded bonds”), which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, revenue bonds accounted for 58% and 60% of the holdings, respectively. Excluding pre-refunded bonds, the activities supporting the income streams of the Company’s revenue bonds are across a broad range of sectors, primarily water, airport and marina, specifically pledged tax revenues, leases and other miscellaneous sources such as bond banks, finance authorities and appropriations.

Total gross unrealized losses represented approximately 7% and 1% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Approximately 83% and 49% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 418 and 330 individual securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not incur credit-related losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (and therefore, there was no allowance recognized as of June 30, 2020). Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.

11. Variable Interest Entities
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved with various types of investment entities that may be considered VIEs. The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required. The Company’s maximum risk of loss is limited to the carrying value and unfunded commitments of its investments in the VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs
One of the Company’s subsidiaries is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser. The subsidiary (or one of its affiliates) manages and invests in CLOs and real estate funds and may conduct other forms of investment activities. The Company has determined that the CLOs and real estate fund are VIEs and consolidated each because the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities due to (i) its role as collateral manager, which gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, and (ii) its economic interest in the entities, which exposes it to losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities.
In connection with the formation of CLO structures, the Company forms special purpose entities capitalized by contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to capitalization, the special purpose entities purchase senior secured leveraged loans funded by contributions from the Company and a short-term warehousing credit facility. Borrowings from the warehousing credit facility are non-recourse to the Company and are fully repaid once the CLO closes. Additionally, the amounts contributed by the Company to fund the initial capitalization are returned after the CLO closes. The Company may elect to use the return of capital to purchase a direct investment in the CLO.
Collateralized Loan Obligations: The CLO entities are collateralized financing entities. Under the elected measurement alternative for collateralized financing entities, the carrying value of the CLO debt equals the fair value of the CLO assets (senior secured leveraged loans) as the assets have more observable fair values. The CLO liabilities are reduced by the fair value of the beneficial interests the Company retains in the CLO and the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent

compensation for services. CLO earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of the Company’s CLO investments, net investment income earned and investment management and contingent performance fees earned. Investment management fees are reported as a reduction to investment expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the CLOs are legally isolated from the Company’s creditors and can only be used to settle obligations of the CLOs. The liabilities of the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company and the Company has no obligation to satisfy the liabilities of the CLOs.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries held a range of 43.8% to 100.0% of the most subordinated debt tranches of four CLO entities and 5.0% of senior debt tranches in one CLO entity, which represents a range of 6.0% to 8.8% overall ownership in each of the CLO entities. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the CLOs that have closed was $51.4 million and $77.4 million in subordinated debt tranches and $20.6 million and $21.1 million in senior debt tranches as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s investment in a fifth CLO structure, which had previously been funded by $124.9 million of contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, was liquidated during the second quarter of 2020.
The Company’s retained beneficial interests in subordinated tranches are measured at fair value using the market or income valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, including prepayment, default rate, recovery lag, reinvestment, collateral liquidation price, discount rate and call date assumptions.
The CLO asset management platform was sold in July 2020. See Note 21 for additional information.
Real Estate Fund: The Company’s real estate fund investment is a closed ended fund that includes contributions from third party investors, which are recorded as non-controlling interests. Real estate fund earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the net investment income of the real estate fund, which includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments in the real estate fund and investment management fees earned. The Company has a majority investment in the real estate fund in the form of an equity interest. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the real estate fund was $45.7 million and $88.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s unfunded commitment in the real estate fund was $1.2 million as of June 30, 2020.
For all consolidated investment entities, intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Fair Value of VIE Assets and Liabilities
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. See Note 12 for the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

Level 2 Securities
Corporate debt securities: These assets are comprised of senior secured leveraged loans. The Company values these securities using estimates of fair value from a pricing service which utilizes the market valuation technique. The primary observable market inputs used by the pricing service are prices of reported trades from dealers. The fair value is calculated using a simple average of the prices received.
Collateralized loan obligation notes: As the Company elected the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the CLO debt is equal to the fair value of the CLO assets. The CLO notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the classification of the majority of the CLO financial assets.
Level 3 Securities
Real estate fund: These assets are comprised of investments in limited partnerships whose underlying investments are real estate properties. Management estimates the fair value of these real estate assets using the market, income or cost approach valuation techniques, using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, including capitalization rates, discount rates, market comparable prices, leasing assumptions and replacement costs.
The following table summarizes the change in balance sheet carrying value associated with Level 3 assets held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

12. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures
The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

28

Assurant, Inc.

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
 
 
 




transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). 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 in its entirety 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 takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.
Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, a modified coinsurance arrangement and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP and other derivatives, including the put/call for Iké. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

13. Reserves
Reserve Roll Forward
The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves.
Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.

Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $72.0 million and $83.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program.
The Company experienced favorable development in both periods presented in the roll forward table above. Global Lifestyle contributed $29.0 million and $30.3 million to the net favorable development during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in both years was attributable to nearly all lines of business across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience each period. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable. Global Housing contributed $4.3 million and $3.9 million of net favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in 2020 was primarily attributable to Lender-placed Insurance products from accident year 2019 due to lower than expected claim frequency for water damage and other claims. The net favorable development in 2019 was primarily attributable to prior catastrophes, whereby increased subrogation associated with the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires was partially offset by net unfavorable development from Hurricane Michael. Global Preneed and other contributed $9.8 million and $3.5 million in net favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(2)
Bears a 7.00% annual interest rate to March 2028 and an annual interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135% thereafter.
(3)
Borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined below) for second quarter 2020 bore a floating interest rate initially equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. The loan was continued upon expiration of the initial interest period at a floating interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum.

Credit Facility
The Company has a senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million, which may be increased up to $575.0 million. The Credit Facility is available until December 2022, provided the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million. The proceeds from these loans may be used for our commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes.
On March 27, 2020, the Company drew down $200.0 million from its Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to strengthen its liquidity position and capital flexibility due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial interest period for the loan ended on June 26, 2020 and bore a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. Upon the expiration of the initial interest period, the Company continued the $200.0 million loan for an additional month bearing a floating interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. As of June 30, 2020, $241.0 million out of the $450.0 million was available under the Credit Facility, due to $200.0 million of borrowings and $9.0 million of letters of credit. Total interest expense on the $200.0 million draw for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.5 million.
Interest Rate Derivatives
In March 2018, the Company exercised a series of derivative transactions it had entered into in 2017 to hedge the interest rate risk related to expected borrowing to finance the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. The Company determined that the derivatives qualified for hedge accounting as effective cash flow hedges and recognized a deferred gain of $26.7 million upon settlement that was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain is being recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 4.20% senior notes due 2023, the 4.90% senior notes due 2028 and the 7.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes on an effective yield basis. The amortization of the deferred gain for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.8 million, and the amortization of deferred gain for six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1.5 million. The remaining deferred gain as of June 30, 2020 was $20.0 million.

As of June 30, 2020, there was $36.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. 
The fair value of PSUs with market conditions was estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. Expected volatilities for awards issued during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were based on the historical stock prices of the Company’s stock and peer group. The expected term for grants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was assumed to equal the average of the vesting period of the PSUs. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

17. Equity Transactions
Stock Repurchase
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company repurchased 734,967 and 1,037,262 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a cost of $83.1 million and $100.7 million, exclusive of commissions, respectively, leaving $403.2 million remaining under the total repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2020.
The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and other factors.

Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”)
In March 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of the MCPS at a public offering price of $100.00 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of the MCPS was $276.4 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on March 15, 2021 into between 0.9385 (the “minimum conversion rate”) and 1.1262 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. At any time prior to March 2021, holders may elect to convert each share of MCPS into shares of common stock at the minimum conversion rate or in the event of a fundamental change at the specified rates as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the MCPS.
Dividends on our MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. The Company may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of the Company’s common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock quarterly, commencing in June 2018 and ending in March 2021. No dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on common stock or any other class or series of junior stock, and no common stock or any other class or series of junior stock or parity stock may be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the MCPS for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in full, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company paid preferred stock dividends of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company paid preferred stock dividends of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

18. Earnings Per Common Share
The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. Refer to Notes 16 and 17 for further information regarding potential common stock issuances. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

There were no anti-dilutive average PSUs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Average PSUs totaling 95,899 and 137,588 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method.

19. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan (“Assurant Pension Plan”) covering substantially all employees. The Company also has various non-contributory, non-qualified supplemental plans covering certain employees including the Assurant Executive Pension Plan and the Assurant Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The qualified and non-qualified plans are referred to as “Pension Benefits” unless otherwise noted. In addition, the Company provides certain life and health care benefits (“Retirement Health Benefits”) for retired employees and their dependents. The Pension Benefits and Retirement Health Benefits (together, the “Plans”) were frozen on March 1, 2016.
In February 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Health Benefits to terminate effective December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Benefits will be paid up to the Termination Date. The Retirement Health Benefits obligations were re-measured using a discount rate of 1.55%, selected based on a cash flow analysis using a bond yield curve as of February 29, 2020, and the fair market value of the Retirement Health Benefits assets as of February 29, 2020. The remeasurement resulted in a reduction to the Retirement Health Benefits obligations of $65.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be reclassified from AOCI as it is amortized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining period until the Termination Date.

The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $53.9 million at June 30, 2020 and $66.4 million at December 31, 2019 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 107% and 109% funded status at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, no cash was contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan. Due to the Assurant Pension Plan’s current funded status, no additional cash is expected to be contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan over the remainder of 2020.

20. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $12.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Legal and Regulatory Matters        
The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. In particular, the Company is a defendant in class actions in a number of jurisdictions regarding its Lender-placed Insurance programs. These cases assert a variety of claims under a number of legal theories. The plaintiffs typically seek premium refunds and other relief. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these class actions. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable.
The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the

41

Assurant, Inc.

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
 
 
 




accrual. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is actively monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the ongoing impacts on its business, results of operations and financial condition. While continuing to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets.
At this time, it is not possible to estimate how long it will take to halt the spread of the virus or the long-term effects that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the economy or the Company’s business.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition, including demand for the Company’s products and services and the value of the Company’s investment portfolio and other tangible or intangible assets, among other impacts, will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These include the severity and duration of the pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other third parties to contain or address its impact. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may experience or continue to experience materially adverse impacts to its business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact.

21. Subsequent Events
Sale of CLO Asset Management Platform
In July 2020, the Company sold its CLO asset management platform for $20.0 million in cash consideration. Prior to the sale, the CLOs were VIEs that the Company consolidated, as described in Note 11. The Company retained its direct investments in the CLOs following the sale, but it expects to deconsolidate the CLOs in third quarter 2020 since it no longer acts as collateral manager and, as a result, no longer has the power to control the CLO entities.
Receipt of CARES Act refund
As referenced in Note 7, the Company filed a refund claim for $198.4 million related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act. The Company received the full amount of the refund plus interest in July 2020.
Repayment of Credit Facility
As referenced in Note 14, the Company borrowed $200.0 million under its Credit Facility on March 27, 2020 as a precautionary measure to strengthen its liquidity position and capital flexibility due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company repaid the full $200.0 million loan on July 29, 2020.

General
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had four reportable segments, which are defined based on the nature of the products and services offered:
Global Lifestyle: provides mobile device solutions and extended service products and related services for consumer electronics and appliances (referred to as “Connected Living”); vehicle protection and related services (referred to as “Global Automotive”); and credit and other insurance products (referred to as “Global Financial Services and Other”);
Global Housing: provides lender-placed homeowners insurance, lender-placed manufactured housing insurance and lender-placed flood insurance (referred to as “Lender-placed Insurance”); renters insurance and related products (referred to as “Multifamily Housing”); and voluntary manufactured housing insurance, voluntary homeowners insurance and other specialty products (referred to as “Specialty and Other”);
Global Preneed: provides pre-funded funeral insurance, final need insurance and related services; and
Corporate and Other: includes activities of the holding company, financing and interest expenses, net realized gains (losses) on investments (which includes unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and changes in fair value of direct investments in collateralized loan obligations), interest income earned from short-term investments held, income (expenses) primarily related to the Company’s frozen benefit plans, amounts related to businesses previously disposed of through reinsurance and the run-off of the Assurant Health business. Corporate and Other also includes the foreign currency gains (losses) from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and other expenses related to merger and acquisition activities, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes (reportable catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments, and including reinstatement and other premiums).
The following discussion covers the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (“Second Quarter 2020” and “Six Months 2020”) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (“Second Quarter 2019” and “Six Months 2019”).

Executive Summary
COVID-19
While continuing to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets.
Toward the end of the three months ended March 31, 2020 (“First Quarter 2020”) and into Second Quarter 2020, the pandemic impacted each of our operating segments and may continue to impact our businesses if similar conditions continue to persist or worsen. Overall, in Second Quarter 2020, we believe COVID-19 had a modest negative impact on our net income, mainly due to $15.2 million of after-tax direct and incremental expenses, primarily related to employee benefits described below, partially offset by lower claims frequency in some of our businesses. In addition, while we continue to see lower investment income from lower yields, the improvement of the financial markets in the Second Quarter 2020 benefitted our results when compared to First Quarter 2020. While the COVID-19 impact on net income for First Quarter 2020 included $76.1 million of after-tax net unrealized investment losses from our investments in equity securities and direct investments in collateralized loan obligations, we recorded $28.8 million of after-tax net unrealized investment gains from these securities in Second Quarter 2020. Our investment portfolio will continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and related financial market volatility. Though we generally believe our portfolio remains well diversified and high-quality, with the majority comprised of investment grade fixed maturity assets, interest rates are expected to remain relatively low for the foreseeable future. Refer to “—Investments” below and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Our Response to COVID-19
As a global organization, we actively monitor the developments of the continuously evolving situation resulting from COVID-19. Throughout this period of uncertainty, we have acted swiftly and deliberately to safeguard our employees, to maintain business operations and service levels for our customers, and to support our local communities. Since implementing restrictions on non-essential business travel and transitioning the vast majority of our workforce to work-from-home, we have approved a limited return to office within certain Asian and European locations, as well as limited, essential business travel. For those employees who need to work in our offices or global facilities, we’ve maintained safety and hygiene protocols, such as social distancing, mandatory use of personal protection equipment and regular cleaning and disinfecting of our locations. To support our employees, we have implemented additional floating holidays, a one-time COVID-19 relief payment for eligible work-from-home employees and incentive bonuses for eligible on-site employees, as well as increased well-being and mental health support services. We offered financial support through a special COVID-19 Emergency Relief Program to eligible employees who experienced severe financial hardship caused by the pandemic. We also have been active in maintaining our support within our local communities through charitable contributions.
Evaluation of Business Trends, Capital and Liquidity
We have run multiple scenarios based on the potential duration and severity of this crisis to better understand how our business might perform and stress-tested our capital, cash flows and liquidity. Our business has performed on the high-end of the scenarios, demonstrating its overall resilience. We could experience a greater negative impact to our business as a result of financial market volatility, prolonged government lockdown measures impacting access to distribution channels and related changes to consumer behavior from a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
While in late March and through April, our businesses experienced a reduction in new sales across our Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive lines of business, as well as Global Preneed, these trends have generally reversed through July, though most are still lower when compared to 2019. Our mobile business experienced lower trade-in activity and slower sales growth, which also improved through July combined with higher average selling prices in Second Quarter 2020 due to lower inventory. We believe we have benefitted from our installed customer base across Connected Living, Global Automotive, Multifamily Housing and Global Preneed. We have also extended options, for a period of time, such as extended grace periods for premium payments and waiving of late payment fees for policyholders experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and are monitoring cancellations across our product lines.
Second Quarter 2020 Global Lifestyle results were impacted by COVID-19 factors, including more favorable international claims activity in Connected Living and Global Automotive, partially offset by weaker performance in Global Financial Services and lower mobile trade-in volumes when compared to 2019. For mobile, we expect fluctuation in new subscriber growth and trade-in volumes, reflecting store closures and carrier activity, with volumes continuing to recover if stores remain open. In Global Automotive, as some states are experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19, we expect sales volumes will also fluctuate. We believe a reduction in sales would impact the business longer term, while unearned premium continues to contribute in the shorter term. We expect claims activity in Connected Living and Global Automotive will

45


normalize in the second half of 2020, depending on the reopening of the economy. We would also expect investment income to be impacted from lower investment yields coming from new business. Throughout Global Lifestyle, we may also continue to see adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange.
Second Quarter 2020 Global Housing results were impacted by COVID-19-related factors, including lower claims frequency across our Lender-placed Insurance, Multifamily housing and Specialty and Other businesses, partially offset by lower real estate owned (“REO”) volumes in Lender-placed Insurance. For Multifamily Housing, we have experienced a recovery in new renter policies. For Lender-placed Insurance, we will continue to monitor the state of the overall housing market and the potential impact of the current mortgage moratorium, including lower new policy placement and REO volumes. This was offset by lower claim frequencies, which we also expect to increase in the second half of 2020. Should the housing market deteriorate for a prolonged period, we would expect a longer-term increase in our placement rates after 2020. Lastly, our small commercial business continues to run-off and we continue to monitor regulatory actions regarding business interruption coverage, though our policies generally include virus exclusions. We would also expect investment income to be impacted from lower investment yields coming from the investment of premiums resulting from new business.
For Global Preneed, sales have rebounded from April levels but began to slow down in July as states where we have a concentrated footprint, such as California, Texas and South Carolina, are experiencing high levels of infections. We are also monitoring mortality trends, which have been modestly elevated, with a risk for additional increase given our policy footprint. We expect longer term results to be impacted from lower yields on new sales due to the current interest rate environment, given the average duration of our investment portfolio.
We continue to take actions to mitigate potential impacts, including deferring certain discretionary expenses and delaying the fulfillment of open positions in support functions, though we expect to see increased spending in these items in the second half of 2020, as well as in investments that had been deferred.
Throughout this period, we believe our liquidity has remained strong. As of June 30, 2020, we had $357.4 million of holding company liquidity. To strengthen our liquidity position and capital flexibility during a period of uncertainty, we drew $200.0 million under our revolving credit facility in March 2020. Given our performance year-to-date and improved visibility into the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on our business, we fully repaid the loan in July 2020.
For a discussion of the material risks relating to COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition, refer to the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020 and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The value of our deferred tax assets could become impaired, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” in our 2019 Annual Report.
Iké
In May 2020, we sold our minority interests in Iké Grupo, Iké Asistencia and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Iké”), terminated our obligations to purchase the remaining shares of Iké, and settled a financial derivative that provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar. These transactions resulted in net cash outflows of $85.3 million, which included financing of $34.0 million, the proceeds from the settlement of the derivative and transaction expenses. For additional information on this transaction, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
American Financial & Automotive Services
On May 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of American Financial & Automotive Services, Inc. (“AFAS”), a provider of finance and insurance products and services including vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection insurance and other ancillary products sold directly through a network of nearly 600 franchised dealership clients across 40 states, for total consideration of $176.9 million. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Catastrophe Reinsurance Program
In June 2020, we finalized our 2020 property catastrophe reinsurance program. The U.S. per-event catastrophe coverage provides $930.0 million of protection in excess of $80.0 million of retention per event. The coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best. See “Catastrophe Reinsurance Program” below.
Summary of Financial Results
Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders increased $34.0 million, or 24%, to $173.5 million for Second Quarter 2020 compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $139.5 million for Second Quarter

46


2019, primarily due to improved profitability from Global Housing and continued mobile growth in Global Lifestyle. Additionally, Second Quarter 2019 included an $11.4 million after-tax impairment associated with a prior acquisition in Global Housing. These increases were partially offset by $15.2 million of after-tax direct and incremental operating expenses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic during Second Quarter 2020.
Global Lifestyle segment net income increased $12.5 million, or 11%, to $121.8 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $109.3 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily driven by our mobile business due to continued subscriber growth in North America and Asia Pacific and higher average selling prices on mobile trade-in devices. Our Global Automotive business also contributed to the increase, including a discrete client benefit. Both Connected Living and Global Automotive benefitted from lower claims activity mainly outside the U.S. due to COVID-19, while partially offset by higher claims frequency within Global Financial Services and Other.
Global Lifestyle net earned premiums, fees and other income decreased $40.4 million, or 2%, to $1.77 billion for Second Quarter 2020 from $1.81 billion for Second Quarter 2019, primarily from lower mobile trade-in volumes due to global lockdown measures for COVID-19 and unfavorable foreign exchange. The decrease was partially offset by growth in Connected Living, mainly from mobile subscriber growth from protection programs added over the past several years and prior period sales from our Global Automotive business.
Global Housing segment net income increased $13.9 million, or 19%, to $85.4 million for Second Quarter 2020 compared with $71.5 million for Second Quarter 2019. Segment net income for Second Quarter 2020 included $10.1 million of reportable catastrophes, mainly related to severe weather across the U.S., compared to $2.7 million of favorable development for Second Quarter 2019. Excluding reportable catastrophes, segment net income increased $26.7 million, primarily due to favorable non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products driven by lower claims frequency, including the impacts of COVID-19, and previously implemented underwriting initiatives. Modest growth across our Specialty and Other product lines and the absence of losses from our small commercial product also contributed to the increase.
Global Housing net earned premiums, fees and other income decreased $21.2 million, or 4%, to $488.9 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $510.1 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily due to the reduction in Lender-placed Insurance policies in-force from the previously disclosed financially insolvent client and lower REO volumes due to foreclosure moratoriums enacted in connection with COVID-19. The expected run-off of our small commercial product also contributed to the decrease. The decrease was partially offset by growth in Specialty and Other products and in our Multifamily Housing business.
Global Preneed segment net income decreased $3.2 million, or 19%, to $13.7 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $16.9 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily due to lower investment income from lower yields compared to a strong prior year period, as well as higher mortality, including impacts of COVID-19.
Global Preneed net earned premiums, fees and other income increased $0.7 million, or 1%, to $50.3 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $49.6 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily driven by prior period sales of final need insurance and growth in pre-funded funeral policies.
Critical Factors Affecting Results
Our results depend on, among other things, the appropriateness of our product pricing, underwriting, the accuracy of our reserving methodology for future policyholder benefits and claims, the frequency and severity of reportable and non-reportable catastrophes, returns on and values of invested assets, and our ability to manage our expenses and achieve expense savings. Our results will also depend on our ability to profitably grow our businesses, in particular our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses, and maintaining our position in our Lender-placed Insurance business and the North American credit insurance business in Global Financial Services and Other. Factors affecting these items, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto, conditions in financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, fluctuations in exchange rates and inflation, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. For more information on these and other factors that could affect our results, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors”, below and in our 2019 Annual Report, “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Factors Affecting Results” in our 2019 Annual Report and “—Executive Summary—COVID-19” and “—Executive Summary—Our Response to COVID-19,” above.

Our results may be impacted by our ability to continue to grow in the markets in which we operate, including in our Connected Living, Multifamily Housing and Global Automotive businesses. Our mobile business is subject to volatility in mobile device trade-in volumes based on the actual and anticipated timing of the release of new devices and carrier promotional programs, as well as to changes in consumer preferences. Our Lender-placed Insurance revenues will also be impacted by changes in the housing market. In addition, across many of our businesses, we must respond to the threat of disruption. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business and Competitive Risks—Significant competitive pressures, changes in customer preferences and disruption could adversely affect our results of operations” in our 2019 Annual Report.
Management believes that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months, including the ability to pay interest on our debt and dividends on our common and preferred stock.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $292.2 million; net cash used in investing activities was $32.2 million; and net cash provided by financing activities was $12.0 million. We had $2.14 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 as compared to $1.87 billion as of December 31, 2019. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below for further details.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our 2019 Annual Report describes the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The accounting policies and estimation process described in the 2019 Annual Report were consistently applied to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for Second Quarter 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Regulatory Matters
We are subject to extensive federal, state and international regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which we do business, including insurance holding company laws in the jurisdictions in which our insurance companies are domiciled. For example, under applicable insurance holding company regulations, no person may acquire a controlling interest in the Company or any of our insurance company subsidiaries, unless such person has obtained prior regulatory approval for such acquisition. Under these laws, “control” is presumed when any person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our common stock or of the voting securities of any of our insurance company subsidiaries. To obtain approval, the proposed acquiror must file an application with the relevant regulator, including the regulator for the insurance subsidiaries we have established in the Netherlands for continued access to the European markets after the transition period for the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union. As previously disclosed, our insurance subsidiaries in the Netherlands have received the necessary regulatory approvals for the Company to continue conducting business in Europe following the end of the transition period.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders increased $34.0 million, or 24%, to $173.5 million for Second Quarter 2020 compared with $139.5 million for Second Quarter 2019. The increase was primarily due to improved results from Global Housing and continued mobile growth in Global Lifestyle. Additionally, Second Quarter 2019 included an $11.4 million after-tax impairment of certain intangible assets from our acquisition of Green Tree Insurance Agency. These increases were partially offset by $15.2 million of after-tax direct and incremental operating expenses incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic during Second Quarter 2020.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders increased $23.0 million, or 8%, to $323.5 million for Six Months 2020 compared with $300.5 million for Six Months 2019, primarily due to a $84.4 million tax benefit from Six Months 2020 related to the utilization of net operating losses in connection with the CARES Act. This increase was also due to improved results from Global Lifestyle and Global Housing. These increases were partially offset by $47.4 million of after-tax net unrealized losses from a decrease in the fair value of our equity securities and collateralized loan obligations for Six Months 2020 compared to $29.9 million of after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities for Six Months 2019 and $17.6 million of

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net income increased $12.5 million, or 11%, to $121.8 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $109.3 million for Second Quarter 2019. The increase was primarily driven by our Connected Living business, mainly due to continued mobile subscriber growth in North America and Asia Pacific and higher average selling prices on mobile trade-in programs from lower inventory in the global marketplace. Our Global Automotive business also contributed to the increase, including a $4.2 million after-tax client benefit. Both Connected Living and Global Automotive benefitted from reduced claims activity mainly outside the U.S. due to COVID-19. These increases were partially offset by lower income from our Global Financial Services and Other business mainly due to higher loss experience from COVID-19 and unfavorable foreign exchange from our international credit business, as well as anticipated declines from domestic credit insurance business in run-off.
Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased $52.7 million, or 3%, to $1.81 billion for Second Quarter 2020 from $1.87 billion for Second Quarter 2019. Fees and other income decreased $63.0 million, or 24%, primarily due to a decline in our Connected Living business driven by lower mobile trade-in volumes from our repairs and logistics business due to global lockdown measures for COVID-19 that were partially offset by higher average selling prices. Net investment income decreased $12.3 million, or 22%, primarily due to declines in cash yields, lower average assets and unfavorable foreign exchange. These decreases were partially offset by a $22.6 million, or 1%, increase in net earned premiums that was driven by our Global Automotive business due to growth from prior period production and new business, as well as organic growth in our Connected Living business due to continued subscriber growth from mobile protection programs added over the past several years and a new extended service

51


contract program. These increases in net earned premiums were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and continued run-off of our domestic credit insurance business.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $69.2 million, or 4%, to $1.65 billion for Second Quarter 2020 from $1.72 billion for Second Quarter 2019. Policyholder benefits decreased $69.8 million, or 17%, mostly due to lower loss experience in our Connected Living business, as a result of a favorable mix of mobile business and COVID-19, and our Global Automotive business, as well as favorable foreign exchange. The decrease was partially offset by Global Financial Services and Other from higher losses in our credit business, also due to COVID-19. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $69.5 million, or 12%, primarily due to lower trade-in volumes in our domestic repairs and logistics business and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by growth in our mobile protection and extended service contract programs within our Connected Living business and growth in our Global Automotive business. These decreases were partially offset by a $70.1 million, or 9%, increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, primarily due to prior period growth from our Global Automotive and Connected Living businesses.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net income increased $32.8 million, or 16%, to $242.7 million for Six Months 2020 from $209.9 million for Six Months 2019, and included a $6.7 million after-tax benefit for a client recoverable in our Connected Living business. Excluding this item, the increase in net income was mostly driven by our Connected Living business, primarily due to continued mobile subscriber growth in North America and Asia Pacific and higher income in our Global Automotive business, including $9.2 million of client benefits. The increase was partially offset by lower income in our Global Financial Services and Other business mainly due to higher loss experience and unfavorable foreign exchange from our international credit business as well as anticipated declines from the domestic credit insurance business in run-off.
Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $208.4 million, or 6%, to $3.81 billion for Six Months 2020 from $3.61 billion for Six Months 2019. Net earned premiums increased $191.8 million, or 6%, primarily driven by growth in our Connected Living business, mainly due to continued subscriber growth from mobile protection programs and a new extended service contract program, and continued growth from prior period production in our Global Automotive business, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange. Fees and other income increased $33.1 million, or 6%, primarily due to higher mobile trade-in volumes and an $11.1 million benefit for a client recoverable in our Connected Living business. Net investment income decreased $16.5 million, or 14%, primarily due to declines in cash yields, lower average assets and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $164.5 million, or 5%, to $3.50 billion for Six Months 2020 from $3.33 billion for Six Months 2019, primarily driven by amortization of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired which increased $202.7 million, or 14%, primarily due to growth from our Global Automotive and Connected Living businesses. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses increased $42.6 million, or 4%, primarily due to growth from our Connected Living business, including higher mobile trade-in volumes and growth in our mobile protection and extended service contract programs, and growth from our Global Automotive business, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange. Policyholder benefits decreased $80.8 million, or 11%, mostly due to lower loss experience in our Connected Living business, as a result of a favorable mix of mobile business and COVID-19, and our Global Automotive business, as well as favorable foreign exchange. The decrease was partially offset by an increase from growth in our Connected Living business.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net income increased $13.9 million, or 19%, to $85.4 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $71.5 million for Second Quarter 2019. Segment net income for Second Quarter 2020 included $10.1 million of reportable catastrophes, mainly related to severe weather across the U.S., compared to $2.7 million of favorable development for Second Quarter 2019. Excluding reportable catastrophes, segment net income increased $26.7 million, or 39%, primarily due to favorable non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products, driven by lower claims frequency, including impacts from COVID-19, and previously implemented underwriting initiatives. Modest growth across our Specialty and Other product lines and the absence of losses from our small commercial product, which is now in run-off, also contributed to the increase, as well as higher premium rates in our Lender-placed Insurance business. The increase was partially offset by declines in our Lender-placed Insurance policies in-force from a financially insolvent client, as well as lower REO volumes as less homes are moving to default or foreclosure due to moratoriums enacted in connection with COVID-19.
Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased $23.6 million, or 4%, to $505.3 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $528.9 million for Second Quarter 2019. Net earned premiums decreased $18.6 million, or 4%, primarily due to the run-off of our small commercial product and declines in our Lender-placed Insurance business, mainly from the reduction of policies in-force for a financially insolvent client and lower REO volume, partially offset by premium rate increases in our Lender-placed Insurance business, and continued growth from renters insurance in our Multifamily Housing business. Fees and other income decreased $2.6 million, or 7%, primarily due to a decline in Lender-placed Insurance mostly due to declines in policies in-force. Net investment income decreased $2.4 million, or 13%, primarily due to lower cash yields, lower income from real estate related investments and a decrease in invested assets.

53


Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $40.9 million, or 9%, to $397.7 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $438.6 million for Second Quarter 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in total policyholder benefits of $27.4 million, or 13%, from lower non-catastrophe losses, as previously described, partially offset by an increase in reportable catastrophe losses mainly related to severe weather across the U.S. in Second Quarter 2020. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $12.2 million, or 7%, primarily due to lower employment related expenses in our Lender-placed Insurance business.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net income increased $15.4 million, or 11%, to $159.6 million for Six Months 2020 from $144.2 million for Six Months 2019. Segment net income included $16.8 million of higher reportable catastrophes in Six Months 2020 compared to Six Months 2019 primarily driven by severe weather across the U.S. in Second Quarter 2020 and earthquakes in Puerto Rico in First Quarter 2020. Excluding reportable catastrophes, segment net income increased $32.2 million, or 21%, primarily driven by favorable non-catastrophe losses across all major products, the absence of losses from our small commercial product, which is now in run-off, and higher premium rates and lower operating expenses in our Lender-placed Insurance business. The increase was partially offset by declines in our Lender-placed Insurance business, mainly from a reduction in policies in-force from a financially insolvent client and lower fee income and REO volume.
Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased $26.6 million, or 3%, to $1.03 billion for Six Months 2020 from $1.05 billion for Six Months 2019. Net earned premiums decreased $10.9 million, or 1%, primarily due to our small commercial business and declines in our Lender-placed Insurance business, mainly from the reduction in policies in-force for a financially insolvent client and lower REO volume. This decrease was partially offset by premium rate increases in our Lender-placed Insurance business, growth from our Specialty and Other business, mainly sharing economy products, and continued growth from renters insurance in our Multifamily Housing business. Fees and other income decreased $9.9 million, or 13%, primarily due to a decline in Lender-placed Insurance, mostly due to declines in policies in-force. Net investment income decreased $5.8 million, or 13%, primarily due to lower cash yields, lower income from real estate related investments and a decrease in invested assets.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $45.5 million, or 5%, to $826.6 million for Six Months 2020 from $872.1 million for Six Months 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in total policyholder benefits of $27.6 million, or 7%, from lower non-catastrophe losses, as explained above, partially offset by an increase in reportable catastrophe losses mainly related to severe weather across the U.S. in Second Quarter 2020 and earthquakes in Puerto Rico in First Quarter 2020. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $19.6 million, or 6%, primarily due to lower employment related expenses in our Lender-placed Insurance business.

Total revenues were relatively flat at $120.4 million for Second Quarter 2020 compared to $120.2 million for Second Quarter 2019 as prior period sales of final need insurance and growth in pre-funded funeral policies were partially offset by lower net investment income.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $4.4 million, or 4%, to $102.9 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $98.5 million for Second Quarter 2019. Policyholder benefits increased $2.3 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher losses as a result of growth in the domestic preneed business and higher mortality due to the impact of COVID-19. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 10%, primarily due to an increase in general expenses.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net income decreased $2.7 million, or 9%, to $26.0 million for Six Months 2020 from $28.7 million for Six Months 2019, primarily due to higher investment expenses and lower yields, as well as higher mortality and increased general expenses, partially offset by growth in pre-funded funeral policies in the U.S.
Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $5.5 million, or 2%, to $243.9 million for Six Months 2020 from $238.4 million for Six Months 2019. Net earned premium increased $2.2 million, or 7%, primarily due to sales of final need insurance. Fees and other income increased $2.8 million, or 4%, due to the growth in pre-funded funeral policies in the U.S. Net investment income increased

$0.5 million primarily due to an increase in invested assets, partially offset by higher investment expenses related to our strategic decision to outsource the management of our investment portfolio, as well as lower yields.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $9.2 million, or 5%, to $210.8 million for Six Months 2020 from $201.6 million for Six Months 2019. Policyholder benefits increased $5.7 million, or 4%, primarily due to the growth in the domestic preneed business and higher mortality due to the impact of COVID-19. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased $2.0 million, or 6%, due to the business growth. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 5%, due to an increase in general expenses.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Segment net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $10.8 million, or 19%, to $47.4 million for Second Quarter 2020 compared to $58.2 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily due to the absence of an $11.4 million after-tax impairment of certain intangible assets from our acquisition of Green Tree Insurance Agency that was recognized in Second Quarter 2019 and a $4.8 million increase in after-tax net realized gains on investments, mostly driven by net unrealized gains on equity securities and collateralized loan obligations in Second Quarter 2020, partially offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales of fixed maturities. The decrease in segment net loss attributable to common stockholders was partially offset by $15.2 million of after-tax direct and incremental operating expenses incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Second quarter 2020 COVID-19 expenses were primarily related to employee-related expenses, including additional paid time off, a one-time COVID-19 relief payment to eligible employees and incentive bonuses for eligible on-site employees.
Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $2.2 million, or 7%, to $33.0 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $30.8 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily due to net unrealized gains from an increase in the fair value of our equity securities and collateralized loan obligations in Second Quarter 2020. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales of fixed maturities, lower amortization of deferred gains associated with the sale of Assurant Employee Benefits and lower investment income, primarily due to a higher concentration of lower yielding liquid investments in Second Quarter 2020 compared to Second Quarter 2019.
Total Expenses

57


Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $11.7 million, or 12%, to $89.6 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $101.3 million for Second Quarter 2019, primarily driven by the absence of a $14.6 million impairment of certain intangible assets from our acquisition of Green Tree Insurance Agency and a $9.2 million loss from a decrease in fair value of derivative instruments for our investment in Iké that were both recognized in Second Quarter 2019. The decrease was also due to a $3.4 million benefit from the amortization of the deferred gain related to the termination of our retirement health benefits plan, a decrease in integration expenses associated with the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (“TWG”) and lower unfavorable remeasurement related foreign exchange. These decreases were partially offset by $19.2 million of direct and incremental operating expenses incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and a $3.9 million loss on the sale of Iké.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net Income
Segment net loss attributable to common stockholders increased $22.5 million, or 27%, to $104.8 million for Six Months 2020 from $82.3 million for Six Months 2019, primarily due to an increase in net realized losses on investments driven by $47.4 million of after-tax net unrealized losses from a decrease in the fair value of our equity securities and collateralized loan obligations in Six Months 2020 compared to $29.9 million of after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities in Six Months 2019, as well as $17.6 million of after-tax direct and incremental operating expenses incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in segment net loss attributable to common stockholders was partially offset by an $84.4 million tax benefit related to the utilization of net operating losses in connection with the CARES Act. In addition, Second Quarter 2019 included an $11.4 million after-tax impairment of certain intangible assets from our acquisition of Green Tree Insurance Agency.
Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased $131.2 million to $(48.9) million for Six Months 2020 from $82.3 million for Six Months 2019, primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on investments mostly related to a net decrease in the fair value of our equity securities and collateralized loan obligations. Lower amortization of deferred gains associated with the sale of Assurant Employee Benefits and lower investment income, primarily due to a higher concentration of lower yielding liquid investments in Six Months 2020 compared to Six Months 2019, also contributed to the decrease.
Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses
Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $7.8 million, or 4%, to $166.7 million for Six Months 2020 from $174.5 million for Six Months 2019, primarily due to the absence of a $14.6 million impairment of certain intangible assets recognized in Six Months 2019, $9.8 million decrease in integration expenses associated with the TWG acquisition and a $4.5 million benefit from the amortization of the deferred gain related to the termination of our retirement health benefits plan. These decreases were partially offset by $22.3 million of direct and incremental operating expenses incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investments
We had total investments of $14.65 billion and $14.57 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Net unrealized gains on our fixed maturity securities portfolio increased by $331.6 million during Six Months 2020, from $1.26 billion as of December 31, 2019 to $1.59 billion as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to spread compression, partially offset by decreases in foreign exchange rates in several countries.

The investment income from the real estate funds includes (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interest of $(0.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Net investment income decreased $17.0 million, or 11%, to $137.2 million for Second Quarter 2020 from $154.2 million for Second Quarter 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by lower cash yields and a decrease in yields on other variable rate assets, lower income from a decrease in the valuation of certain alternative investments adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Net investment income decreased $27.3 million, or 9%, to $293.2 million for Six Months 2020 from $320.5 million for Six Months 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by lower cash yields and a decrease in yields on other variable rate assets, lower income from real estate, lower income from a decrease in the valuation of certain alternative investments adversely

59


impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, unfavorable foreign exchange and an increase in investment expenses in connection with our strategic decision to outsource the management of the investment portfolio.
As of June 30, 2020, we owned $68.1 million of securities guaranteed by financial guarantee insurance companies. Included in this amount was $58.2 million of municipal securities, whose credit rating was A+ with the guarantee, but would have had a rating of A- without the guarantee.
For more information on our investments, see Notes 10 and 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Catastrophe Reinsurance Program
In June 2020, we finalized our 2020 property catastrophe reinsurance program. 2020 reinsurance premiums for this program are estimated to be approximately $139.0 million pre-tax compared to approximately $163.0 million pre-tax for 2019, reflecting the exit from small commercial as well as a modest reduction in lender-placed exposure. Coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best. Actual reinsurance premiums will vary if exposure changes significantly from estimates or if reinstatement premiums are required due to catastrophe events.
The U.S. per-occurrence catastrophe coverage includes a main reinsurance program providing $930.0 million of coverage in excess of $80.0 million retention per event. In addition, it includes multi-year reinsurance contracts covering almost 50% of the U.S. program over the next two to five years, reducing volatility in future reinsurance costs. All layers of the program allow for one automatic reinstatement, except the first layer, which has two reinstatements and which covers the first $30.0 million of losses in excess of the $80.0 million retention. The 2020 program also maintains a cascading feature that provides multi-event protection in which higher coverage layers drop down to $110.0 million as the lower layers and reinstatement limit are exhausted. When combined with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, the program is covered for gross Florida losses of up to $1.15 billion.
The 2020 catastrophe reinsurance program also includes Caribbean protection of up to $175.0 million in excess of a $20.0 million retention, as well as Latin America protection of up to $170.0 million in excess of a $7.0 million retention, which renewed on July 1, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
COVID-19 did not materially impact our liquidity and capital resources during Second Quarter 2020. Throughout this period, we believe our liquidity remained strong. As of June 30, 2020, we had $357.4 million of holding company liquidity and $200.0 million that we drew from our revolving credit facility in March to strengthen our liquidity position and capital flexibility. Given our performance year-to-date and improved visibility into the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on our business, we fully repaid the credit facility loan in July 2020, as further described below. Refer to the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020 for a discussion of COVID-19 related factors that could impact our liquidity and capital resources in the future.
The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, includes measures to assist companies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures include the ability to carry back net operating losses to prior years taxed at higher rates and defer the due dates of tax payments. Pursuant to the CARES Act, we carried back net operating losses to 2013 and 2014, resulting in a refund claim of $198.4 million. We also deferred our First Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2020 federal estimated tax payments and payments related to the employer’s portion of social security tax in 2020. This will have the effect of increasing cash outlays for these taxes during the second half of 2020, 2021 and 2022. In July 2020, we received the full amount of the refund plus interest related to the net operating losses we carried back under the CARES Act, a portion of which will be included in third quarter 2020 holding company liquidity and will largely consist of the $84.4 million tax benefit the Company recorded in First Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2020. We continue to monitor and assess the potential tax impact of this and other COVID-19-related legislation on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.
Regulatory Requirements
Assurant, Inc. is a holding company and, as such, has limited direct operations of its own. Our assets consist primarily of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our future cash flows depend upon the availability of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments from our subsidiaries, such as payments under our tax allocation agreement and under management agreements with our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay such dividends and to make such other payments will be limited by applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries are domiciled, which subject our subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. The dividend requirements and regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and by type of insurance provided by the applicable subsidiary. These laws and regulations require, among other

60


things, our insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends they can pay to the holding company. Regulatory actions in response to COVID-19 could further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation—U.S. Insurance Regulation” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risks—Changes in insurance regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth” in our 2019 Annual Report and the risk factor disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2020. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”).
Regulators or rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, increasing capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries and may base these changes using different factors including industry studies, management actions or market conditions. The rating agencies’ assessment of the Company may consider the results of internally developed stress testing models and potential impacts to our earnings and capital, including from COVID-19 and the associated economic environment. For further information on our ratings and the risks of ratings downgrades, see “Item 1—Business—Ratings” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Financial Risks—A decline in the financial strength ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” in our 2019 Annual Report.
For the year ending December 31, 2020, the maximum amount of dividends our regulated U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries could pay us, under applicable laws and regulations currently in effect and without prior regulatory approval, is $423.7 million. In addition, our international and non-insurance subsidiaries provide additional sources of dividends.
Holding Company
As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $357.4 million in holding company liquidity, which was $132.4 million above our targeted minimum level of $225.0 million. The target minimum level of holding company liquidity, which can be used for unforeseen capital needs at our subsidiaries or liquidity needs at the holding company, is calibrated based on approximately one year of corporate operating and interest expenses and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) dividends. We use the term “holding company liquidity” to represent the portion of cash and other liquid marketable securities held at Assurant, Inc., out of a total of $681.0 million of holding company investment securities and cash, which we are not otherwise holding for a specific purpose as of the balance sheet date. “Holding company liquidity” excludes the $200.0 million we drew down from our Credit Facility in March 2020 as the proceeds were for risk management purposes only. The loan was repaid in July 2020. We can use the assets that comprise holding company liquidity for stock repurchases, stockholder dividends, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.
Dividends or returns of capital paid by our subsidiaries, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, were approximately $284.0 million for Six Months 2020. In 2019, dividends, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions or received for dispositions, made to the holding company were $748.0 million.
In addition to paying expenses, making interest payments on indebtedness and making dividend payments on our preferred stock, our capital management strategy provides for several uses of the cash generated by our subsidiaries, including returning capital to common stockholders through share repurchases and dividends, investing in our business to support growth in targeted areas and making prudent and opportunistic acquisitions. From time to time, we may also seek to purchase outstanding debt in open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. During Six Months 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, we made common stock repurchases and paid dividends to our common stockholders of $160.7 million and $426.3 million, respectively. We expect to deploy capital primarily to support business growth, fund other investments and return capital to shareholders, subject to Board of Directors (the “Board”) approval and market conditions.
In May 2020, we sold our minority interests in Iké and terminated our obligations to purchase the remaining shares of Iké (collectively, the “Sale”), recognizing a net loss on sale of $3.9 million pre-tax and $2.9 million after-tax. In connection with the sale, we provided financing to Iké Grupo in an aggregate principal amount of $34.0 million (the “Iké Loan”). The Iké Loan matures in May 2025, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum payable quarterly and provides for quarterly principal amortization payments through the maturity date.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net cash outflows related to the Sale were $85.3 million, including net proceeds paid of $73.3 million and the Iké Loan of $34.0 million, less cash inflows of $22.0 million upon settling a financial derivative we had entered into in connection with our agreement to sell our interests in Iké. The financial derivative had provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar since the purchase price was to be paid in Mexican Pesos. See Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Report.
On May 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of AFAS, a provider of finance and insurance products and services including vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection insurance and other ancillary products sold directly through a

61


network of nearly 600 franchised dealership clients across 40 states, for total consideration of $176.9 million. See Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Report.
In management’s opinion, dividends from our subsidiaries and other expected cash inflows together with our income and gains from our investment portfolio and cash and liquid assets on hand will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our needs in the ordinary course of business.
Assurant Subsidiaries
The primary sources of funds for our subsidiaries consist of premiums and fees collected, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments and net investment income. Cash is primarily used to pay insurance claims, agent commissions, operating expenses and taxes. We generally invest our subsidiaries’ excess funds in order to generate investment income.
We conduct periodic asset liability studies to measure the duration of our insurance liabilities, to develop optimal asset portfolio maturity structures for our significant lines of business and ultimately to assess that cash flows are sufficient to meet the timing of cash needs. These studies are conducted in accordance with formal company-wide Asset Liability Management guidelines.
To complete a study for a particular line of business, models are developed to project asset and liability cash flows and balance sheet items under a large, varied set of plausible economic scenarios. These models consider many factors including the current investment portfolio, the required capital for the related assets and liabilities, our tax position and projected cash flows from both existing and projected new business.
Alternative asset portfolio structures are analyzed for significant lines of business. An investment portfolio maturity structure is then selected from these profiles given our return hurdle and risk preference. Scenario testing of significant liability assumptions and new business projections is also performed. Specific to COVID-19, several scenarios around impact on near term asset and liability projections, including new business, were modeled and evaluated.
Our liabilities generally have limited policyholder optionality, which means that the timing of payments is relatively insensitive to the interest rate environment. In addition, our investment portfolio is largely comprised of highly liquid fixed maturity securities with a sufficient component of such securities invested that are near maturity which may be sold with minimal risk of loss to meet cash needs. Therefore, we believe we have limited exposure to disintermediation risk.
Generally, our subsidiaries’ premiums, fees and investment income, along with planned asset sales and maturities, provide sufficient cash to pay claims and expenses. However, there may be instances when unexpected cash needs arise in excess of that available from usual operating sources. In such instances, we have several options to raise needed funds, including selling assets from the subsidiaries’ investment portfolios, using holding company cash (if available), issuing commercial paper, or drawing funds from the five-year senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (of which $241.0 million was available as of June 30, 2020). In addition, in January 2018, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. This registration statement allows us to issue equity, debt or other types of securities through one or more methods of distribution. The terms of any offering would be established at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions. If we decide to make an offering of securities, we will consider the nature of the cash requirement as well as the cost of capital in determining what type of securities we may offer.
Dividends and Repurchases
We paid dividends of $0.63 per common share on June 16, 2020 to stockholders of record as of May 26, 2020 and dividends of $1.6250 per share of MCPS on June 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2020. On July 9, 2020, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.63 per common share payable on September 22, 2020 to stockholders of record as of August 31, 2020 and a quarterly dividend of $1.6250 per share of MCPS payable on September 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2020. Any determination to pay future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon various factors, including: our subsidiaries’ payments of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments to us; our results of operations and cash flows; our financial condition and capital requirements; general business conditions and growth prospects; legal, tax, regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends; and other factors the Board deems relevant, including the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Payments of dividends on shares of common stock are subject to the preferential rights of the MCPS. The Credit Facility contains limitations on our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders if we are in default, or such dividend payments would cause us to be in default, of our obligations thereunder. In addition, if we defer the payment of interest on our Subordinated Notes (as defined below), we generally may not make payments on our capital stock.

During Six Months 2020, the Company repurchased 734,967 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $83.1 million, exclusive of commissions. As of June 30, 2020, $403.2 million remained under the Board repurchase authorization. The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors, including the impact of COVID-19 on our business.
Management believes that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our needs over the next twelve months, including the ability to pay interest on our debt and dividends on our common and preferred stock.
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
In March 2018, we issued 2,875,000 shares of our 6.50% MCPS, with a par value of $1.00 per share. Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on March 15, 2021 into between 0.9385 (the “minimum conversion rate”) and 1.1262 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. At any time prior to March 2021, holders may elect to convert each share of MCPS into shares of common stock at the minimum conversion rate or in the event of a fundamental change at the specified rates defined in the Certificate of Designations of the MCPS.
Dividends on the MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. We may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of our common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of our common stock quarterly, commencing in June 2018 and ending in March 2021. No dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on common stock or any other class or series of junior stock, and no common stock or any other class or series of junior stock or parity stock may be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the MCPS for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in full, subject to certain limited exceptions. We paid preferred stock dividends of $4.6 million for each of Second Quarter 2020 and Second Quarter 2019, and $9.3 million for each of Six Months 2020 and Six Months 2019. For additional information regarding the MCPS, see Note 17 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Senior and Subordinated Notes

63


2030 Senior Notes: In August 2019, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million which bear interest at a rate of 3.70% per year, mature in February 2030 and were issued at a 0.035% discount to the public (the “2030 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears beginning in February 2020. Prior to November 2029, we may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after that date, we may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to purchase $100.0 million of our 6.75% senior notes due 2034 in a cash tender offer, to redeem $250.0 million of our floating rate senior notes due 2021 and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses.
2021, 2023 and 2028 Senior Notes
In March 2018, we issued the following three series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million:
2021 Senior Notes: The first series of senior notes is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.25% (1.53% as of June 30, 2020) per year and matures in March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2021 Senior Notes is payable quarterly. Commencing on or after March 2019, we may redeem the 2021 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. In August 2019, we redeemed $250.0 million of the $300.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes.
2023 Senior Notes: The second series of senior notes is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.20% per year, matures in September 2023 and was issued at a 0.233% discount to the public (the “2023 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2023 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. Prior to August 2023, we may redeem the 2023 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after that date, we may redeem the 2023 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.
2028 Senior Notes: The third series of senior notes is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.90% per year, matures in March 2028 and was issued at a 0.383% discount to the public (the “2028 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. Prior to December 2027, we may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part of a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after that date, we may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The interest rate payable on each of the 2021 Senior Notes, the 2023 Senior Notes, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2030 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time, if either Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”) downgrades the credit rating assigned to such series of senior notes to Ba1 or below or to BB+ or below, respectively, or subsequently upgrades the credit ratings once the senior notes are at or below such levels. The following table details the increase in interest rate over the issuance rate by rating with the impact equal to the sum of the number of basis points next to such rating for a maximum increase of 200 basis points over the issuance rate:

Subordinated Notes
In March 2018, we issued fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due March 2048 with a principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Subordinated Notes”), which bear interest from March 2018 to March 2028 at an annual rate of 7.00%, payable semi-annually. The Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135%, payable quarterly, beginning in June 2028. On or after March 2028, we may redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest provided that if

64


they are not redeemed in whole, a minimum amount must remain outstanding. At any time prior to March 2028, we may redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a tax event, rating agency event or regulatory capital event as defined in the global note representing the Subordinated Notes, at a redemption price equal to (i) with respect to a rating agency event 102% of their principal amount and (ii) with respect to a tax event or regulatory capital event, their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In addition, so long as no event of default with respect to the Subordinated Notes has occurred and is continuing, we have the right, on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the Subordinated Notes for one or more consecutive interest periods for up to five years as described in the global note representing the Subordinated Notes. During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the Subordinated Notes at the then-applicable interest rate. At any time when we have given notice of our election to defer interest payments on the Subordinated Notes, we generally may not make payments on or redeem or purchase any shares of our capital stock or any of our debt securities or guarantees that rank upon our liquidation on a parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Other Notes
In March 2013, we issued two series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. The first series was $350.0 million in principal amount, bore interest at 2.50% per year and was repaid at maturity in March 2018. The second series is $350.0 million in principal amount and was issued at a 0.365% discount to the public. This series bears interest at 4.00% per year and matures in March 2023. Interest is payable semi-annually. We may redeem the outstanding series of senior notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time before maturity at the redemption price set forth in the global note representing the outstanding series of senior notes.
In February 2004, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $475.0 million at a 0.61% discount to the public, which bear interest at 6.75% per year and matures in February 2034. Interest is payable semi-annually. These senior notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. In December 2016 and August 2019, we completed cash tender offers of $100.0 million each in aggregate principal amount of such senior notes. A loss on extinguishment of debt of $31.4 million was reported in the third quarter of 2019.
Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program
We have a Credit Facility that provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million, which may be increased up to $575.0 million. The Credit Facility is available until December 2022, provided we are in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million. The proceeds from these loans may be used for our commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes.
On March 27, 2020, we drew down $200.0 million from our Credit Facility. We repaid the loan on July 29, 2020, at the end of the then-current interest period, during which the loan bore interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. The proceeds from the draw were held at the holding company as of June 30, 2020, but have been excluded from the $357.4 million of holding company liquidity as they were for risk management purposes only.
Our commercial paper program requires us to maintain liquidity facilities either in an available amount equal to any outstanding notes from the program or in an amount sufficient to maintain the ratings assigned to the notes issued from the program. Our commercial paper is rated AMB-1 by A.M. Best, P-3 by Moody’s and A-2 by S&P. Our subsidiaries do not maintain commercial paper or other borrowing facilities. This program is currently backed up by the Credit Facility, of which $241.0 million out of the $450.0 million was available as of June 30, 2020, due to $200.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and $9.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

We typically generate operating cash inflows from premiums collected from our insurance products, fees received for services and income received from our investments while outflows consist of policy acquisition costs, benefits paid and operating expenses. These net cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees, and investment income received and expenses paid.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $292.2 million for Six Months 2020 compared to $725.7 million for Six Months 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of certain cash payments and business activities from our Global Lifestyle business. The primary factors contributing to the decrease in cash from operations included the absence of a prior year receipt of prepaid premiums for our Japan business given subsequent changes in payment terms under the program, an increase in advanced commission payments as a result of subscriber growth from mobile protection programs and growth from our Global Automotive business, the timing of cumulative payments to a vendor related to a program initiated in 2019 for acquiring mobile devices used to meet insurance claims or generate profits through sales to third parties, and an increase in follow-on commission payments associated with both higher fourth quarter 2019 premiums and 2019 full year programs. These decreases were partially offset by higher collections of premium receivable balances mostly due to timing.
Net cash used in investing activities was $32.2 million for Six Months 2020 compared to $609.6 million for Six Months 2019. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by our consolidated investment entities (“CIEs”) related to the timing of purchases of securities in connection with CLO structures launched in 2019. The decrease was partially offset by $135.8 million of cash used for the AFAS acquisition, which was partially offset by AFAS cash acquired of $39.6 million, and $73.3 million of net cash used for the sale of our interests in Iké in Second Quarter 2020. For additional information on CIEs, the AFAS acquisition and our sale of Iké see Notes 11, 4 and 5, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Report. The remaining changes were due to the ongoing management of our investment portfolio.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.0 million for Six Months 2020 compared to $118.6 million for Six Months 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $290.2 million of cash from our CIEs provided in first quarter 2019, net of repayments of borrowings to short-term warehouse facilities primarily related to the timing of CLO structures launched each year. This was partially offset by a $200.0 million drawdown from our Credit Facility. We fully repaid the loan in July 2020. For additional information, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Report.
We monitor cash flows at the consolidated, holding company and subsidiary levels. Cash flow forecasts at the consolidated and subsidiary levels are provided on a monthly basis, and we use trend and variance analyses to project future cash needs, making adjustments to the forecasts when needed.

Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which we are the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which we are required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. We had $12.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources of the Company.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”): In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities (codified in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”)). For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit-related impairment losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain
internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The Company adopted the guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Not Yet Adopted
Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on the upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.
The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. In July 2020, the FASB issued a proposed accounting standards update that, if adopted, would extend the effective date of this guidance for the Company to January 1, 2023 (with early adoption permitted) and the application transition date would be January 1, 2022.
This guidance will apply to the Company’s preneed life insurance policies, as well as its annuity and universal life products (which are no longer offered and are in run-off). The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting: In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides 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.
The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed.
As LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021, the Company is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance and the impact to debt, investments and derivatives that have references to LIBOR and the subsequent transition to alternative reference rates. 
Improvements to Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible
preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more contracts in an entity’s own equity to qualify for it. The guidance also simplifies the diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculation in the areas of convertible instruments and instruments that qualify for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to address accounting for the guidance changes to the classification, recognition and measurement.
This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Sale of Investment in Iké Sale of Investment in Iké
In 2014, the Company made an approximately 40% investment in Iké Grupo, Iké Asistencia and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Iké”), a services assistance business, for which the Company paid approximately $110.0 million. At the same time, the Company also entered into a shareholders’ agreement that provided the right to acquire the remainder of Iké from the majority shareholders and the majority shareholders the right to put their interests in Iké to the Company (together, the “put/call”) in mid-2019 at a predetermined price. During 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with the majority shareholders of Iké to extend the put/call. In January 2020, in lieu of exercising the put/call, the Company entered into a formal agreement to sell its interests in Iké.
In May 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interests in Iké and terminated its put/call obligations recognizing a net loss on sale of $3.9 million pre-tax and $2.9 million after-tax. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded aggregate impairment losses and put/call valuation losses of $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. In connection with the anticipated sale, the Company entered into a financial derivative in January 2020 that provided an economic hedge against declines in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar since the purchase price was to be paid in Mexican Pesos. The Company settled its position upon the sale, resulting in a cash inflow of $22.0 million, and net realized (losses) gains on the derivative of $(0.6) million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
In total, the Company recorded net pre-tax charges of $4.5 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $5.9 million and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, presented as Iké net losses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total impairment and put/call losses resulted in a tax benefit of $6.7 million; however, this was fully offset by a valuation allowance as the realizability of the tax losses in the related tax jurisdiction is unlikely. There was tax expense of $4.3 million on the income arising on the financial derivative, as such contract was originated in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. As such, after-tax charges of $3.5 million and $6.4 million were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $9.3 million and $6.6 million were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In connection with the sale, the Company provided financing to Iké Grupo in an aggregate principal amount of $34.0 million (the “Iké Loan”). The Iké Loan matures in May 2025, bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum payable quarterly and provides for quarterly principal amortization payments through the maturity date. The
Iké Loan is classified in other investments in the consolidated balance sheets and resultant interest income will be reflected as a component of net investment income in the consolidated statement of operations.

The total allowance for credit losses for the financial assets was $51.0 million, $46.2 million and $20.3 million as of June 30, 2020, January 1, 2020 (date of adoption) and December 31, 2019, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the net increase in the allowance for credit losses that reduced pre-tax income was $7.7 million, consisting of increases in the allowance for credit losses of $11.6 million, partially offset by recoveries of $3.9 million, principally related to account write-downs established prior to implementation of the new standard. The net increase is classified in the consolidated statements of operations as follows: $4.4 million is included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses and $3.3 million included in net realized losses on investments, comprised of $1.9 million related to commercial mortgage loans on real estate and $1.4 million related to the Iké Loan (as referenced in Note 5).
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, other net increases to the allowance for credit losses that did not impact income were $23.0 million, including the cumulative effect of adoption of $25.9 million, financial asset write-offs of $2.8 million and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Reinsurance Recoverables
As part of the Company’s overall risk and capacity management strategy, reinsurance is used to mitigate certain risks underwritten by various business segments. The Company is exposed to the credit risk of reinsurers, as the Company remains liable to insureds regardless of whether related reinsurance recoverables are collected. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, reinsurance recoverables totaled $9.58 billion and $9.59 billion, respectively, the majority of which are protected from credit risk by various types of collateral or other risk mitigation mechanisms, such as trusts, letters of credit or by withholding the assets in a modified coinsurance or funds-withheld arrangement.
Methodology:
The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default methodology in estimating the allowance, whereby the credit ratings of reinsurers are used in determining the probability of default. The allowance is established for reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid future policy benefits and claims and benefits. Prior to applying default factors, the net exposure to credit risk is reduced for any collateral for which the right of offset exists, such as funds withheld, assets held in trust and letters of credit, which are part of the reinsurance arrangements, with adjustments to include consideration of credit exposure on the collateral. The methodology used by the Company incorporates historical default factors for each reinsurer based on their credit rating using comparably rated bonds as published by a major ratings service. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing and other relevant factors.
The Company utilizes external credit ratings published by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., at the balance sheet date when determining the allowance. Where rates are not available, the Company assigns default credit ratings based on if the reinsurer is authorized or unauthorized. Of the total recoverables subject to the allowance, 71% were rated A- or better, 24% were rated BBB or BB, and 5% were not rated based on the Company’s analysis and assigned ratings.
The following table presents the changes in the CECL allowance for reinsurance recoverables by portfolio segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $4.0 million was principally due to the reduction of anticipated recoveries upon default following the recent economic downturn related to COVID-19. When determining the allowance at June 30, 2020, the Company did not increase default probabilities by reinsurer since there had been no credit rating downgrades or other negative credit indications of the Company’s reinsurers. The allowance may be increased and income reduced in future periods if there are future ratings downgrades or other measurable information supporting an increase in reinsurer default probabilities, including, but not limited to, collateral reductions.
Premium and Accounts Receivables
The Company is exposed to credit risk from premiums and other accounts receivables. For premiums receivable, the exposure to loss upon a default is often mitigated by the ability to terminate the policy on default and offset the corresponding unearned premium liability. The Company has other mitigating offsets from amounts payable on commissions and profit share arrangements when the counterparty to the receivable is a sponsor/agent of the Company’s insurance product.
Methodology:
For receivables due directly from the insured or consumer, the allowance is generally calculated by aging receivable balances and applying default factors based on the Company’s historical collection data. For receivables due from product sponsors or agents, receivable balances are generally segregated by the sponsor or agent and an appropriate default factor determined based on creditworthiness, billing terms and aging of balances. The financial exposure of a credit loss is determined net of offsets (such as related unearned premium reserves for consumer receivables and receivables net of commissions payable, profit share liabilities and captive reinsurance for balances due from sponsors/agents) prior to applying a default factor.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the incremental allowance of $4.0 million relates to an increase in past due accounts and default factors following the economic downturn related to COVID-19 to reflect the expectation that future defaults will exceed historical defaults. There is a risk that income may be reduced in future periods for additional credit losses.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. and Canada. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 40% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Utah and New York. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.1 million to $12.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and from $0.1 million to $12.3 million as of December 31, 2019.
Methodology:
The Company records commercial mortgage loans at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for the Company’s commercial mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, utilizing a probability-of-default and loss methodology, which incorporates various probability weighted economic scenarios. The probability of default is estimated using macroeconomic factors as well as individual loan characteristics, including loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan term, collateral type, geography and underlying credit. The loss given default is driven primarily by the type and value of underlying collateral, and to a lesser extent by expected liquidation costs and time to recovery. Each loan is analyzed individually based on loan-specific data elements to estimate the expected loss and then aggregated.
The Company places loans on nonaccrual status after 90 days of delinquent payments (unless the loans are secured and in the process of collection). A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status before this time if information is available that suggests collection is unlikely. The Company charges off loan and accrued interest balances that are deemed uncollectible. Charge offs are recorded to net income in the period deemed uncollectible.
Upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses from $0.6 million to $2.2 million with the after-tax impact of $1.3 million reflected in retained earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the CECL allowance was increased by an additional $1.9 million due to an increase in anticipated default factors following the recent economic downturn related to COVID-19.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at June 30, 2020.

Available for Sale Securities
ASC 326 includes certain changes to the accounting and reporting for impairments involving available for sale securities, including presentation of credit-related impairments as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment, eliminating duration of unrealized loss as a consideration when assessing recognition of an impairment, recognition of credit impairments upon purchase of securities as applicable, and requiring reversals of previously recognized credit-related impairments when applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company’s updated accounting policy for available for sale securities is as follows:
For available for sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, changes to the credit rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, among other factors. If this assessment indicates a potential credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit-related impairment exists, and a charge to income and an associated allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit-related impairment. Any impairment not related to credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Upon recognizing a credit-related impairment, the cost basis of the security is not adjusted.
Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. For fixed maturities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. Write-offs are charged against the allowance when management concludes the financial asset is uncollectible. For fixed maturities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par.
For available for sale fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment loss, or difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security, is recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of the security is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized and is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. 
The Company reports receivables for accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities available for sale and elected not to measure allowances for credit losses for accrued investment income as uncollectible balances are written off in a timely manner.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted, implementing numerous changes to tax law including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company filed a refund claim for $198.4 million and recorded a $79.3 million tax benefit related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act, resulting in a decrease of the deferred tax asset of $107.1 million and increase to the current receivable of $186.4 million. The Company accrued a $5.1 million after-tax interest benefit related to the refund from the carryback for the three months ended June 30, 2020, included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also recorded a $1.7 million refundable employee retention tax credit for the three months ended June 30, 2020, included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Due to the recent enactment of this legislation, the Company continues to assess the potential tax impacts on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Contract Revenues Contract Revenues
The Company partners with clients to provide consumers a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products are accounted for as insurance contracts and are recognized over the term of the insurance protection provided. Revenues from service contracts and sales of products are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for performing the services or transferring products. If payments are received before the related revenue is recognized, the amount is recorded as unearned revenue or advance payment liabilities, until the performance obligations are satisfied or the products are transferred.
The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $155.6 million and $218.2 million for Global Lifestyle and $23.7 million and $27.4 million for Global Housing for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $454.7 million and $425.8 million for Global Lifestyle and $45.8 million and $57.6 million for Global Housing for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Global Lifestyle
In the Company’s Global Lifestyle segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Connected Living business. Through partnerships with mobile carriers, the Company provides administrative services related to its mobile device protection products, including program design and marketing strategy, risk management, data analytics, customer support and claims handling, supply chain and service delivery, repair and logistics, and device disposition. Administrative fees are generally billed monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period (for example, based on the number of mobile subscribers) with payment due within a short-term period. Each service or bundle of services, depending on the contract, is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.
The Company also sells repaired or refurbished mobile and other electronic devices. Revenue from products sold is recognized when risk of ownership transfers to customers, generally upon shipment. Each product has a standalone selling price that is determined through analysis of various factors including market data, historical costs and product lifecycle status. Payments are generally due prior to shipment or within a short-term period.
Global Housing
In the Company’s Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business. Under the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business, the Company provides loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. The Company generally invoices its customers weekly or monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period with payment due within a short-term period. Each service is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.
Contract Balances
The receivables and unearned revenue under these contracts were $199.8 million and $83.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020, and $185.0 million and $87.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. These balances are included in premiums and accounts receivable and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $27.2 million and $30.2 million, respectively.
In certain circumstances, the Company defers upfront commissions and other costs in connection with client contracts in excess of one year where the Company can demonstrate future economic benefit. For these contracts, expense is recognized as revenues are earned. The Company periodically assesses recoverability based on the performance of the related contracts. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $15.5 million and $25.8 million, respectively, of such intangible assets attributed to service contracts that will be expensed over the term of the client contracts.

The Company’s state, municipality and political subdivision holdings are highly diversified across the U.S., with no individual state, municipality or political subdivision exposure (including both general obligation and revenue securities) exceeding 0.3% of the overall investment portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the securities included general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers, including $38.7 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of advance refunded or escrowed-to-maturity bonds (collectively referred to as “pre-refunded bonds”), which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, revenue bonds accounted for 58% and 60% of the holdings, respectively. Excluding pre-refunded bonds, the activities supporting the income streams of the Company’s revenue bonds are across a broad range of sectors, primarily water, airport and marina, specifically pledged tax revenues, leases and other miscellaneous sources such as bond banks, finance authorities and appropriations.
The Company’s investments in foreign government fixed maturity securities are held mainly in countries and currencies where the Company has policyholder liabilities, to facilitate matching of assets to the related liabilities. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 58%, 12% and 7% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and Mexico, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 58%, 20% and 6% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and Mexico, respectively. No other country represented more than 5% of the Company’s foreign government securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Company had European investment exposure in its corporate fixed maturity securities of $831.0 million with a net unrealized gain of $102.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and $802.3 million with a net unrealized gain of $82.4 million as of December 31, 2019. Approximately 27% and 28% of the corporate fixed maturity European exposure was held in the financial industry as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s largest European country exposure (the United Kingdom) represented approximately 4% of the fair value of the Company’s corporate fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company’s international investments are managed as part of the overall portfolio with the same approach to risk management and focus on diversification.
The Company had exposure to the energy sector in its corporate fixed maturity securities of $721.4 million with a net unrealized gain of $49.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and $784.4 million with a net unrealized gain of $93.1 million as of December 31, 2019. Approximately 85% and 94% of the energy exposure is rated as investment grade as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Total gross unrealized losses represented approximately 7% and 1% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Approximately 83% and 49% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 418 and 330 individual securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not incur credit-related losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (and therefore, there was no allowance recognized as of June 30, 2020). Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.

Variable Interest Entities
6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2020
Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]  
Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved with various types of investment entities that may be considered VIEs. The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required. The Company’s maximum risk of loss is limited to the carrying value and unfunded commitments of its investments in the VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs
One of the Company’s subsidiaries is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser. The subsidiary (or one of its affiliates) manages and invests in CLOs and real estate funds and may conduct other forms of investment activities. The Company has determined that the CLOs and real estate fund are VIEs and consolidated each because the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities due to (i) its role as collateral manager, which gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, and (ii) its economic interest in the entities, which exposes it to losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities.
In connection with the formation of CLO structures, the Company forms special purpose entities capitalized by contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to capitalization, the special purpose entities purchase senior secured leveraged loans funded by contributions from the Company and a short-term warehousing credit facility. Borrowings from the warehousing credit facility are non-recourse to the Company and are fully repaid once the CLO closes. Additionally, the amounts contributed by the Company to fund the initial capitalization are returned after the CLO closes. The Company may elect to use the return of capital to purchase a direct investment in the CLO.
Collateralized Loan Obligations: The CLO entities are collateralized financing entities. Under the elected measurement alternative for collateralized financing entities, the carrying value of the CLO debt equals the fair value of the CLO assets (senior secured leveraged loans) as the assets have more observable fair values. The CLO liabilities are reduced by the fair value of the beneficial interests the Company retains in the CLO and the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent
compensation for services. CLO earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of the Company’s CLO investments, net investment income earned and investment management and contingent performance fees earned. Investment management fees are reported as a reduction to investment expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the CLOs are legally isolated from the Company’s creditors and can only be used to settle obligations of the CLOs. The liabilities of the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company and the Company has no obligation to satisfy the liabilities of the CLOs.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries held a range of 43.8% to 100.0% of the most subordinated debt tranches of four CLO entities and 5.0% of senior debt tranches in one CLO entity, which represents a range of 6.0% to 8.8% overall ownership in each of the CLO entities. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the CLOs that have closed was $51.4 million and $77.4 million in subordinated debt tranches and $20.6 million and $21.1 million in senior debt tranches as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s investment in a fifth CLO structure, which had previously been funded by $124.9 million of contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, was liquidated during the second quarter of 2020.
The Company’s retained beneficial interests in subordinated tranches are measured at fair value using the market or income valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, including prepayment, default rate, recovery lag, reinvestment, collateral liquidation price, discount rate and call date assumptions.
The CLO asset management platform was sold in July 2020. See Note 21 for additional information.
Real Estate Fund: The Company’s real estate fund investment is a closed ended fund that includes contributions from third party investors, which are recorded as non-controlling interests. Real estate fund earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the net investment income of the real estate fund, which includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments in the real estate fund and investment management fees earned. The Company has a majority investment in the real estate fund in the form of an equity interest. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the real estate fund was $45.7 million and $88.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s unfunded commitment in the real estate fund was $1.2 million as of June 30, 2020.
For all consolidated investment entities, intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Fair Value of VIE Assets and Liabilities
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. See Note 12 for the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

Level 2 Securities
Corporate debt securities: These assets are comprised of senior secured leveraged loans. The Company values these securities using estimates of fair value from a pricing service which utilizes the market valuation technique. The primary observable market inputs used by the pricing service are prices of reported trades from dealers. The fair value is calculated using a simple average of the prices received.
Collateralized loan obligation notes: As the Company elected the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the CLO debt is equal to the fair value of the CLO assets. The CLO notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the classification of the majority of the CLO financial assets.
Level 3 Securities
Real estate fund: These assets are comprised of investments in limited partnerships whose underlying investments are real estate properties. Management estimates the fair value of these real estate assets using the market, income or cost approach valuation techniques, using significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, including capitalization rates, discount rates, market comparable prices, leasing assumptions and replacement costs.

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures
The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). 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 in its entirety 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 takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.
Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, a modified coinsurance arrangement and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP and other derivatives, including the put/call for Iké. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

Reserves Reserves
Reserve Roll Forward
The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves.
Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.
The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.

Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $72.0 million and $83.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program.
The Company experienced favorable development in both periods presented in the roll forward table above. Global Lifestyle contributed $29.0 million and $30.3 million to the net favorable development during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in both years was attributable to nearly all lines of business across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience each period. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable. Global Housing contributed $4.3 million and $3.9 million of net favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net favorable development in 2020 was primarily attributable to Lender-placed Insurance products from accident year 2019 due to lower than expected claim frequency for water damage and other claims. The net favorable development in 2019 was primarily attributable to prior catastrophes, whereby increased subrogation associated with the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires was partially offset by net unfavorable development from Hurricane Michael. Global Preneed and other contributed $9.8 million and $3.5 million in net favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Bears floating interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum.
(2)
Bears a 7.00% annual interest rate to March 2028 and an annual interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135% thereafter.
(3)
Borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined below) for second quarter 2020 bore a floating interest rate initially equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. The loan was continued upon expiration of the initial interest period at a floating interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum.

Credit Facility
The Company has a senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million, which may be increased up to $575.0 million. The Credit Facility is available until December 2022, provided the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million. The proceeds from these loans may be used for our commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes.
On March 27, 2020, the Company drew down $200.0 million from its Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to strengthen its liquidity position and capital flexibility due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial interest period for the loan ended on June 26, 2020 and bore a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. Upon the expiration of the initial interest period, the Company continued the $200.0 million loan for an additional month bearing a floating interest rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum. As of June 30, 2020, $241.0 million out of the $450.0 million was available under the Credit Facility, due to $200.0 million of borrowings and $9.0 million of letters of credit. Total interest expense on the $200.0 million draw for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.5 million.
Interest Rate Derivatives
In March 2018, the Company exercised a series of derivative transactions it had entered into in 2017 to hedge the interest rate risk related to expected borrowing to finance the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. The Company determined that the derivatives qualified for hedge accounting as effective cash flow hedges and recognized a deferred gain of $26.7 million upon settlement that was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain is being recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 4.20% senior notes due 2023, the 4.90% senior notes due 2028 and the 7.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes on an effective yield basis. The amortization of the deferred gain for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.8 million, and the amortization of deferred gain for six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1.5 million. The remaining deferred gain as of June 30, 2020 was $20.0 million.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock Based Compensation Stock Based Compensation
Under the Assurant, Inc. 2017 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“ALTEIP”), as amended in May 2019, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1,588,797 new shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, officers and non-employee directors. Under the ALTEIP, the Company may grant awards based on shares of its common stock, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (including performance shares), unrestricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and dividend equivalents. All share-based grants are awarded under the ALTEIP.

The fair value of PSUs with market conditions was estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. Expected volatilities for awards issued during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were based on the historical stock prices of the Company’s stock and peer group. The expected term for grants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was assumed to equal the average of the vesting period of the PSUs. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock Repurchase
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company repurchased 734,967 and 1,037,262 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a cost of $83.1 million and $100.7 million, exclusive of commissions, respectively, leaving $403.2 million remaining under the total repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2020.
The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and other factors.
Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”)
In March 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of the MCPS at a public offering price of $100.00 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of the MCPS was $276.4 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on March 15, 2021 into between 0.9385 (the “minimum conversion rate”) and 1.1262 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. At any time prior to March 2021, holders may elect to convert each share of MCPS into shares of common stock at the minimum conversion rate or in the event of a fundamental change at the specified rates as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the MCPS.
Dividends on our MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. The Company may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of the Company’s common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock quarterly, commencing in June 2018 and ending in March 2021. No dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on common stock or any other class or series of junior stock, and no common stock or any other class or series of junior stock or parity stock may be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the MCPS for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in full, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company paid preferred stock dividends of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company paid preferred stock dividends of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings Per Common Share Earnings Per Common Share
The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. Refer to Notes 16 and 17 for further information regarding potential common stock issuances. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Disclosures [Abstract]  
Retirement and Other Employee Benefits Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan (“Assurant Pension Plan”) covering substantially all employees. The Company also has various non-contributory, non-qualified supplemental plans covering certain employees including the Assurant Executive Pension Plan and the Assurant Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The qualified and non-qualified plans are referred to as “Pension Benefits” unless otherwise noted. In addition, the Company provides certain life and health care benefits (“Retirement Health Benefits”) for retired employees and their dependents. The Pension Benefits and Retirement Health Benefits (together, the “Plans”) were frozen on March 1, 2016.
In February 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Health Benefits to terminate effective December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Benefits will be paid up to the Termination Date. The Retirement Health Benefits obligations were re-measured using a discount rate of 1.55%, selected based on a cash flow analysis using a bond yield curve as of February 29, 2020, and the fair market value of the Retirement Health Benefits assets as of February 29, 2020. The remeasurement resulted in a reduction to the Retirement Health Benefits obligations of $65.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be reclassified from AOCI as it is amortized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining period until the Termination Date.

The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $53.9 million at June 30, 2020 and $66.4 million at December 31, 2019 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 107% and 109% funded status at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, no cash was contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan. Due to the Assurant Pension Plan’s current funded status, no additional cash is expected to be contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan over the remainder of 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $12.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Legal and Regulatory Matters        
The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. In particular, the Company is a defendant in class actions in a number of jurisdictions regarding its Lender-placed Insurance programs. These cases assert a variety of claims under a number of legal theories. The plaintiffs typically seek premium refunds and other relief. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these class actions. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable.
The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the
accrual. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is actively monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the ongoing impacts on its business, results of operations and financial condition. While continuing to evolve, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets.
At this time, it is not possible to estimate how long it will take to halt the spread of the virus or the long-term effects that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the economy or the Company’s business.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition, including demand for the Company’s products and services and the value of the Company’s investment portfolio and other tangible or intangible assets, among other impacts, will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These include the severity and duration of the pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other third parties to contain or address its impact. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may experience or continue to experience materially adverse impacts to its business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact.

Subsequent Events Subsequent Events
Sale of CLO Asset Management Platform
In July 2020, the Company sold its CLO asset management platform for $20.0 million in cash consideration. Prior to the sale, the CLOs were VIEs that the Company consolidated, as described in Note 11. The Company retained its direct investments in the CLOs following the sale, but it expects to deconsolidate the CLOs in third quarter 2020 since it no longer acts as collateral manager and, as a result, no longer has the power to control the CLO entities.
Receipt of CARES Act refund
As referenced in Note 7, the Company filed a refund claim for $198.4 million related to the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior periods under the CARES Act. The Company received the full amount of the refund plus interest in July 2020.
Repayment of Credit Facility
As referenced in Note 14, the Company borrowed $200.0 million under its Credit Facility on March 27, 2020 as a precautionary measure to strengthen its liquidity position and capital flexibility due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company repaid the full $200.0 million loan on July 29, 2020.

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The interim financial data as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”): In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities (codified in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”)). For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit-related impairment losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain
internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The Company adopted the guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Not Yet Adopted
Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on the upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement.
The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. In July 2020, the FASB issued a proposed accounting standards update that, if adopted, would extend the effective date of this guidance for the Company to January 1, 2023 (with early adoption permitted) and the application transition date would be January 1, 2022.
This guidance will apply to the Company’s preneed life insurance policies, as well as its annuity and universal life products (which are no longer offered and are in run-off). The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting: In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides 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.
The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed.
As LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021, the Company is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance and the impact to debt, investments and derivatives that have references to LIBOR and the subsequent transition to alternative reference rates. 
Improvements to Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible
preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more contracts in an entity’s own equity to qualify for it. The guidance also simplifies the diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculation in the areas of convertible instruments and instruments that qualify for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to address accounting for the guidance changes to the classification, recognition and measurement.
This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Hierarchy for Assets and Liabilities
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, a modified coinsurance arrangement and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP and other derivatives, including the put/call for Iké. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

Insurance Loss Reserves [Abstract]  
Roll Forward of Claims and Benefits Payable
The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves.
Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.
The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Income, Weighted Average Common Shares Used in Calculating Basic Earnings Per Common Share and Diluted EPS
The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. Refer to Notes 16 and 17 for further information regarding potential common stock issuances. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.
