Vericity, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Holding Company (Members) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, the Company completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual Holding Company from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by the Company of all of the capital stock of Members following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, the Company became the holding company for converted Members Mutual Holding Company and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial).

The Company operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois‑domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non‑affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 and at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates employed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the determination of the valuation of investments in fixed maturities and equity securities, investment impairments, the valuation of deferred tax assets, future policy benefits and other policyholder liabilities.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in many countries continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The measures governments worldwide have enacted to combat the pandemic have resulted in disruptions in global and local supply chains and have led to adverse impacts on economic and market

conditions as well as increases in unemployment. The severity of COVID-19 and duration of government containment actions has impacted both employees and customers of the Company and presented material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance, liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition.

The stress and disruption placed on the global economy and financial markets from the outbreak of COVID-19 may continue to have near and long-term negative effects on investment valuations, returns, and credit allowance exposure. The Company will continue to closely monitor the situation, including potential negative impacts on sales of new policies and mortality; however, due to the highly uncertain nature of these conditions, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of COVID-19 or its impact to the Company’s operations, but the effect could be material.

The Company continuously monitors its investment strategies and individual holdings with consideration of current and projected market conditions, the composition of the Company’s liabilities, projected liquidity and capital investment needs, and compliance with investment policies and state regulatory guidelines.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity because they may require monthly principal installments and such loans may prepay principal. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities available-for-sale by contractual maturity, are presented in the following table:

Fixed maturities with a carrying value of $3,960 and $3,398 were on deposit with governmental authorities, as required by law at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was primarily composed of investment grade securities, defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa from Moody’s, AAA, AA, A, or BBB from Standard & Poor’s, or National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2. Investment grade securities comprised 98.0% and 98.2% of the Company’s total fixed maturities portfolio at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had commitments to make investments in available-for-sale securities in the amount of $3,209 and $0, respectively.

The Company owned $0 and $29,757 of short-term investments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company makes investments in commercial mortgage loans. The Company, along with other investors, owns a pro rata share of each loan.

The Company regularly reviews its investments portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary. A fixed maturity security is OTTI if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company either intends to sell the fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to be OTTI for credit reasons.

Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether an OTTI loss has occurred for a security. The Company has developed a consistent methodology and has identified significant inputs for determining whether an OTTI loss has occurred. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is OTTI are the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, payment status, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, credit ratings of the securities, and the duration and severity of the decline.

The credit loss component of a fixed maturity security impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists and the security is considered to be temporarily impaired. If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, the security is determined to be OTTI impaired for credit reasons and is recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized as OTTI in other comprehensive (loss) income.

A rollforward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturity securities is as follows:

The Company’s fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturities available-for-sale, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position are as follows:

The indicated gross unrealized losses in all fixed maturity categories increased to $2,166 from $753 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Based on the Company’s current evaluation of its fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, in accordance with our impairment policy and the Company’s current intentions regarding these securities, the Company concluded that these securities were not OTTI.

Information and concentrations related to fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position are included below.

Future policy benefits represent the reserve for direct and assumed traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status.

The annuities in payout status are certain structured settlement contracts. The policy liability for structured settlement contracts of $21,119 and $18,474 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is computed as the present value of contractually specified future benefits. The amount included in the policy liability for structured settlements that are life contingent at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is $16,625 and $13,637, respectively.

To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, a premium deficiency reserve is recorded. A liability of $7,568 and $4,482 is included as part of the liability for structured settlements with respect to this deficiency at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized capital gains included in AOCI.

Participating life insurance in force was 12.1% and 15.9% of the face value of total life insurance at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company uses reinsurance to mitigate exposure to potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, and provide greater diversity of business. For ceded reinsurance, the Company remains liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To manage the risk from failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations, the Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of all of its reinsurers. No amounts have been recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 for amounts anticipated to be uncollectible or for the anticipated failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations under the contracts.

Net policy charges on universal life products were $43, $42, $130 and $126 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in other income.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, reserves related to fixed‑rate annuity deposits assumed from a former affiliate company amounted to approximately $75,376 and $78,296, respectively, and are included with policyholder account balances in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Closed Block was formed at October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at the inception of the Closed Block. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI).

In October 2011, the IDOI approved a reversion of a portion of the initial funding that the Company had determined was not required to fund the Closed Block. The carrying value of the assets transferred from the Closed Block on October 31, 2011, the date of transfer, was $4,397.

The assets and liabilities within the Closed Block are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other accounts of the Company. The maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $10,082 and $9,851 of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience, respectively.

The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block, which is referred to as the actuarial calculation. The actuarial calculation projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the actuarial calculation as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $12,854 and $11,453, respectively, resulting from the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings and from accumulated net unrealized investment gains that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block.

The impacts on the Company’s comprehensive (loss) income from recognizing policyholder dividend obligations are as follows:

The Company charges the Closed Block with federal income taxes and state and local premium taxes, policy maintenance costs and investment management expenses relating to the Closed Block as provided in the Closed Block Memorandum.

The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of the Closed Block fixed maturity securities portfolio by contractual maturity at September 30, 2020. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties:

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe such litigation will have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be reasonably possible but not probable or, is probable but not reasonably able to be estimated, no accrual is established, but the matter, if material, is disclosed. The Company is not aware of any material legal or regulatory matters threatened or pending against the Company.

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC). As a member, the Company is able to borrow on a collateralized basis from the FHLBC which can be used as an alternative source of liquidity. The FHLBC membership requires the Company to own member stock. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held $115 of FHLBC common stock which allows the Company to borrow up to $2,558. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by the FHLBC and depending on the borrowing option selected at the time of the borrowing. No amounts have been borrowed from the FHLBC as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Fair value is the estimated 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. The Company attempts to establish fair value as an exit price consistent with transactions taking place under normal market conventions. The Company utilizes market observable information to the extent possible and seeks to obtain quoted market prices for all securities. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company uses a number of methodologies to establish fair value estimates including discounted cash flow models, prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, or broker/dealer quotes.

Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Management reviews on an ongoing basis the reasonableness of the methodologies used by the pricing services to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. The main procedure the Company employs in fulfillment of this objective includes back-testing transactions, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates.

The Company’s assets and liabilities have been classified into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Level 1 and Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company can access. Level 1 assets include securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2 – This level includes fixed maturities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments on inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid assets for which significant inputs are unobservable in the market, such as structured securities with complex features that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement.

Certain assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, intangible assets, future policy benefits excluding term life reserves and policyholder account balances. Accordingly, such items are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the items are subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition (for example, when there is evidence of impairment) and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date.

The Company’s assets that are carried at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, by fair value hierarchy level, are as follows:

Level 1 securities include principally exchange‑traded funds that are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets.

All the fair values of the Company’s fixed maturities within Level 2 are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. All of the Company’s prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type and region of the world, based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type and region. For fixed maturities that do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications which incorporate a variety of inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, and U.S. Treasury curves. Specifically, for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Securities with validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they generally are based on observable pricing for similar assets or other market significant observable inputs.

Level 3 fair value classification consists of investments in structured securities where the fair value of the security is determined by a pricing service using internal pricing models where one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable in the marketplace, or there is a single broker/dealer quote. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant. The Company does not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset. At September 30, 2020, the Company held 3 securities priced using internal models and 2 securities priced using a broker/dealer quote that were within Level 3.

If the Company believes the pricing information received from third-party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. Historically, the Company has not challenged or updated the prices provided by third-party pricing services. However, any such updates by a pricing service to be more consistent with the presented market observations, or any adjustments made by the Company to prices provided by third-party pricing services would be reflected in the balance sheet for the current period.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the period and are based on observable inputs received from pricing sources; therefore, all net realized and unrealized gains and losses on these securities for the period are reflected in the table that follows. A summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets held at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

There were no transfers between levels in 2020. In 2019, there were 29 transfers from Level 3 to Level 2.

The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These tables exclude cash and cash equivalents and accrued investment income, that are not securities and therefore are not included in the three-level hierarchy table disclosed in the “Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements” section. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities.

Mortgage Loans — Fair value was based on the discounted value of future cash flows for all first mortgage loans adjusted for specific loan risk. The discount rate was based on the rate that would be offered for similar loans at the reporting date. Fair value excludes $3,039 and $3,193 of second and mezzanine mortgages carried at cost for which fair value is not measurable at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Policyholder Loans — Fair value of policyholder loans was estimated using discounted cash flows using risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash value of the underlying insurance policy.

Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances — For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees greater than one year or with defined maturities, the fair value was estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk‑free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees of less than one year, the fair value was based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Long and Short-Term Debt — Fair value was calculated using the discounted value of future cash flows method. The discount rate was based on the rate that is commensurable to the level of risk. The carrying amounts reported on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been divided in to short and long-term based upon expected maturity dates.

The Company originally entered into a financing arrangement with an external party in January 2018, from which the Company receives an advanced commission-based payment for certain Insurance Segment term policies sold through the Agency Segment, in exchange for a level commission that is paid by the Company over the period the policy remains in-force. The Company’s arrangement with the external party allows the Company to finance up to $27,500 of commission. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a net advance of $25,636 and $19,089, respectively, under this arrangement. At September 30, 2020, the Company expects to pay back the aggregate amounts as presented in the following table.

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes are as follows:

The Company’s current operations are organized into three reportable segments: Insurance, Agency, and Corporate.

The Insurance Segment is composed of three broad lines consisting of Direct Life, Closed Block, and Assumed Life and Annuities. Direct Life and the Closed Block are distinct operations; the assumed business and the small amount of structured settlements are all blocks in runoff from a prior management arrangement.

The Agency Segment includes the insurance distribution operations of the Company and includes commission revenue from the sale of Fidelity Life products.

The Corporate Segment includes expenses that will benefit the overall organization, which are not allocated to a segment. This segment also recognizes net investment income on cash and invested assets held mainly as a result of the IPO.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including any profit or loss from the sale of Insurance Segment products through the Agency Segment.

Management has evaluated subsequent events up to and including November 16, 2020, the date these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and determined there were no reportable subsequent events.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements that are intended to enhance the reader’s ability to assess our future financial and business performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and contain words and phrases such as “may,” “expects,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions. In addition, statements that refer to our future financial performance, anticipated growth and trends in our business and in our industry and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different.

Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and do not undertake, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The forward-looking statements include, among other things, those items listed below:

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis and set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitutes forward looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. You should review “Forward Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained herein.

We provide life insurance protection targeted to the middle American market. We believe there is a substantial unmet need for life insurance, particularly among domestic households with annual incomes of between $50,000 and $125,000, a market we refer to as our target Middle Market. We differentiate our product and service offerings through innovative product design and sales processes, with an emphasis on rapidly issued products that are not medically underwritten at the time of sale.

We conduct our business through our two operating subsidiaries, Fidelity Life, an Illinois-domiciled life insurance company, and Efinancial, a call center-based insurance agency. Efinancial sells Fidelity Life products through its own call center distribution platform, independent agents and other marketing organizations. Efinancial, in addition to offering Fidelity Life products, sells insurance products of unaffiliated carriers. We report our operating results in three segments: Agency, Insurance and Corporate.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) in many countries continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The measures governments worldwide have enacted to combat the pandemic have resulted in disruptions in global and local supply chains and have led to adverse impacts on economic and market conditions as well as increases in unemployment. The severity of COVID-19 and duration of government containment actions have impacted both employees and customers of the Company and presented material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance, liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition.

In the third quarter 2020 and year to date September 30, 2020, the Company had an estimated $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in net incurred policyholder claims that included COVID-19 as a contributing cause of death.

The Company continues to monitor the effects of the changing economic environment on our fixed maturity securities portfolio and currently have a number of securities on our watch list, which are mainly concentrated in the oil and gas and airline sectors. Our assessment through September 30, 2020 has resulted in no additional material other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) due to COVID-19 and the recent market events.

In response to the economic impact related to COVID-19, concessions were granted to certain of the Company’s mortgage loan borrowers, including payment deferrals and other loan modifications. At June 30, 2020, the Company held 25 mortgage loans where requests for temporary modifications were granted (23 were modified to interest only and 2 to forbearance). The total loan balance for these 25 loans amounted to $4.4 million or about 9% of the mortgage loan portfolio. At June 30, 2020, 17 of the 25 temporary loan modifications had returned to full payment (both principal and interest) under the modified loan terms, including the 2 loans given forbearance. Of the remaining 8 loans that were granted loan modifications, 7 of these loans returned to full payment status as of September 30. 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company granted a loan modification through December 31, 2020 on a loan that was outside of the original 25 loan modifications previously granted. The combined loan balance of the 2 loans under temporary modification status at September 30, 2020 amounted to $0.4 million, or less than 1% of the mortgage loan portfolio.

In the second quarter 2020, Fidelity Life entered into a General Agent’s agreement with an unaffiliated third party, National Service Group of Amerilife, LLC (“AmeriLife”). This agreement provides Fidelity Life access to AmeriLife distribution channels, its commission systems and assists in streamlining administrative processes related to commissions. This agreement also allows Efinancial to operate as a sub agent to AmeriLife. On May 15, 2020, the Company began selling products using this new distribution arrangement.

This segment primarily consists of the operations of Efinancial. Efinancial is a call center-based insurance agency that markets life insurance for Fidelity Life and unaffiliated insurance companies. Efinancial’s primary operations are conducted through employee agents from three call center locations, which we refer to as our retail channel. In addition, Efinancial operates as a wholesale agency, assisting independent agents that seek to produce business for the carriers that Efinancial represents, which we refer to as our wholesale channel. The Agency Segment’s main source of revenue is commissions earned on the sale of insurance policies sold through our retail and wholesale channels. Efinancial also generates data and click-through revenue (reported as part of Insurance Lead Sales on the related Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) through its eCoverage web presence.

Agency Segment expenses consist of marketing costs to acquire potential customers, salary and bonuses paid to our employee agents, salary and other costs of employees involved in managing the underwriting process for our insurance applications, sales management, agent licensing, training and compliance costs. Other Agency Segment expenses include costs associated with financial and administrative employees, facilities rent, and information technology. After payroll, the most significant Agency Segment expense is the cost of acquiring leads. We partially offset our sales leads expense through advertising revenues from individuals who click on specific advertisements while viewing one of our web pages, and through the resale of leads that are not well suited for our call center.

This segment consists of the operations of Fidelity Life. Fidelity Life underwrites primarily term life insurance through Efinancial and a diverse group of independent insurance distributors. Fidelity Life specializes in life insurance products that can be issued immediately or within a short period following a sales call, using non-medical underwriting at the time of policy issuance.

Core Life - Our Core Life insurance business is the primary business of the Insurance Segment. Core Life represents a significant portion of the insurance business written by Fidelity Life since it resumed independent operations in 2005. Our Core Life business consists of inforce policies that are considered to be of high strategic importance to Fidelity Life.

NonCore Life - Our NonCore Life business consists of: products that are currently being marketed but are not deemed to be of high strategic importance to the Company; inforce policies from product lines introduced since Fidelity Life resumed independent operations in 2005, but were subsequently discontinued; and an older annuity block of business that was not included in the Closed Block.

Closed Block - Our Closed Block represents all inforce participating insurance policies of Fidelity Life. The Closed Block was established in connection with our 2007 reorganization into a mutual holding company structure.

Annuities and Assumed Life - We have assumed reinsurance commitments with respect to annuity contract holder deposits and a block of life insurance contracts that were ceded by former affiliates of Fidelity Life. Under an agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company (Protective Life), the successor to a former affiliate of Fidelity Life, Fidelity Life had assumed a portion of risk on a group of life insurance contracts primarily written in the 1980s and early 1990s. On March 29, 2019, Protective Life and Fidelity Life agreed that Protective Life would recapture the majority of this assumed life block of business, thereby relieving Fidelity Life from further liability under the recaptured business (except for obligations incurred prior to the recapture effective date). Under the recapture agreement, Fidelity Life paid Protective Life an amount equal to the assumed carried reserves, and in turn, Fidelity Life received payment from its reinsurers of this business for their portion of the related ceded reserves. We recognized a $2.2 million gain from this transaction in 2019.

Insurance Segment revenues consist of net insurance premiums, net investment income, and net realized gains (losses) on investments. We recognize premium revenue from our policyholders. We purchase reinsurance coverage to help manage the risk on our insurance policies by paying, or ceding, a portion of the policyholder premiums to the reinsurance company. Our net insurance premiums reflect amounts collected from policyholders, plus premiums assumed under reinsurance agreements less premiums ceded to reinsurance companies. Net investment income represents primarily interest income earned on fixed maturity security investments. We also realize gains and losses on sales of investment securities.

Insurance Segment expenses consist of benefits paid to policyholders or their beneficiaries under life insurance policies. Benefit expenses also include additions to the reserve for future policyholder benefits to recognize our estimated future obligations under the policies. Benefit expenses are shown net of amounts ceded under our reinsurance contracts. Our Insurance Segment also incurs policy acquisition costs that consist of commissions paid to agents, policy underwriting, issue costs and variable sales costs. A portion of these policy acquisition costs are deferred and expensed over the life of the insurance policies acquired during the period. In addition to policy acquisition costs, we incur expenses that vary based on the number of contracts that we have in-force, or variable policy administrative costs. These variable costs consist of expenses paid to third-party administrators based on rates for each policy administered. Our insurance operations also incur overhead costs for functional and administrative staff to support insurance operations, financial reporting and information technology.

The results of this segment consist of net investment income and net realized investment gains (losses) earned on invested assets. We also include certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to our other segments, including expenses of the Company, board expenses, allocation of executive management time spent on corporate matters, and financial reporting and auditing costs related to our consolidation and internal controls. Our Corporate Segment recognizes income (loss) to the extent that net investment income and net realized investment gains (losses) exceed (are less than) corporate expenses.

Our critical accounting policies are described in “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Form 10-K. The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, market indicators and other relevant factors and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may affect our financial position and results of operations. Accordingly, these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total revenues were $36.5 million compared to $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $1.9 million resulted from an increase in earned commissions, higher net insurance premiums, partially offset by lower insurance lead sales and net investment income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total benefits and expenses were $39.8 million compared to $43.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease of $3.9 million was primarily due to lower operating costs and expenses, partially offset by higher amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net loss before taxes was $3.3 million compared to net loss before taxes of $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The lower net loss of $5.8 million was primarily due to reductions in operating costs and expenses and an increase in earned commissions, partially offset by increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total revenues were $109.5 million compared to $103.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $5.6 million resulted from higher net insurance premiums and earned commissions, partially offset by lower net realized investment gains (losses) and lower insurance lead sales.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total benefits and expenses were $130.0 million compared to $121.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $8.5 million was primarily due to higher life, annuity, and health claim benefits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss before taxes of $20.5 million compared to a net loss before taxes of $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The higher net loss of $2.8 million was primarily due to increased life, annuity, and health claim benefits and lower net realized investment gains (losses), partially offset by increased net insurance premiums and earned commissions.

The following analysis reconciles the reported segment results to the Company’s total consolidated results.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, earned commissions were $11.5 million compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $1.9 million resulted from increased sales in the retail channel, which was primarily driven by increased agent headcount, partially offset by lower sales in the wholesale channel.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, insurance lead sales were $1.1 million compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease of $0.6 million was primarily due to lower external transfer revenue.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, operating costs and expenses were $12.4 million compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease of $1.2 million was primarily due to 2019 expense of $0.9 million related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO and lower marketing costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Agency Segment net income was $0.2 million compared to net loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended. This increase in net income of $2.6 million was the result of increased earned commissions and a reduction of operating costs and expenses, partially offset by lower insurance lead sales revenue.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, earned commissions were $32.9 million compared to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $2.6 million resulted from higher sales in the retail channel, which was primarily driven by increased agent headcount, partially offset by decreased sales in the wholesale channel.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, insurance lead sales were $3.8 million compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due to lower click-through and transfer revenue.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating costs and expenses were $37.8 million compared to $39.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease of $1.3 million was primarily due to 2019 expense of $0.9 million related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO and lower marketing costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Agency Segment incurred a net loss of $1.1 million compared to net loss of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease in net loss of $3.2 million was primarily the result of higher earned commissions and a reduction of operating costs and expenses, partially offset by lower insurance lead sales revenue.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net insurance premiums were $25.1 million compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This $0.7 million increase in net insurance premiums was primarily due to growth in the Core Life and Non-Core lines of $1.1 million, mainly driven by an increase in LifeTime Benefit Term (LBT), partially offset by a decrease in RAPIDecision^® Life, primarily driven by changes in reinsurance. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the Closed Block of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net investment income decreased to $3.5 million compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $0.3 million decrease was mainly due to lower book yields in the fixed maturity portfolio, resulting from a lower interest rate environment. For more information on net investment income, see “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, life, annuity and health claim benefits were $16.2 million compared with $16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. There were $0.9 million in net claims that included COVID-19 as a contributing cause of death.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, operating costs and expenses decreased to $6.1 million compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $2.8 million decrease was primarily attributable to $1.8 million of costs related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO in 2019 and an increase in ceding allowances in the Core Life lines.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $4.6 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of $0.3 million relates to the Closed Block. See “Closed Block” section in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Closed Block and “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income was $0.7 million compared to net loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $2.9 million increase resulted primarily from a $2.8 million decrease in operating costs and expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net insurance premiums were $81.5 million compared to $73.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $8.2 million in net insurance premiums was primarily due to growth in the Core Life lines of $4.3 million, mainly driven by increases in LifeTime Benefit Term (LBT) partially offset by a decline in RAPIDecision^® Life, primarily driven by changes in reinsurance. In addition, there was an increase of $3.2 million related to the Closed Block and $0.7 million primarily related to the 2019 recapture of annuities and assumed life. See “Closed Block” section in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Closed Block and “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net investment income was $10.4 million compared to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to lower book yields in the fixed maturity portfolio resulting from the lower interest rate environment. For more information on net investment income, see “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net realized investment losses were $2.0 million compared to $0.7 million net realized investment gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $2.7 million decrease was mainly due to the equity portfolio which incurred losses of $2.6 million and gains of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The equity portfolio is invested in the energy sector, which incurred losses, partially attributable to COVID-19. For more information on net realized investment gains (losses), see “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, life, annuity and health claim benefits were $57.9 million compared with $48.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $9.3 million was mainly attributable to an increase in claim benefits of $4.5 million in Core Life and Non-Core Life lines, $1.7 million as a result of the 2019 recapture of assumed life business and annuities, and $3.1 million in the Closed Block. Net claims related to COVID-19 were $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See “Closed Block” section in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Closed Block and “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating costs and expenses were $24.9 million compared to $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase of $0.6 million was primarily due to a reduction in reinsurance allowances of $1.4 million, which includes $3.7 million related to the Closed Block, partially offset by increased allowances of $2.5 million in the Core Life and Non-Core Life lines. In addition, there was $1.0 million increase in staff and depreciation costs. This was partially offset by $1.8 million costs related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO in 2019. See “Closed Block” section in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Closed Block and “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $11.1 million compared to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease of $1.8 million includes a $2.7 million decrease in the Closed Block and $0.2 million decrease in Non-Core Life, partially offset by an increase in our Core Life lines of $1.1 million. See “Closed Block” section in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Closed Block and “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net loss was $6.3 million compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase in net loss of $3.5 million resulted primarily from $9.3 million increase in life, annuity and health claim benefits, $0.6 million increase in operating costs and expenses, reduction of $2.8 million in net realized investment gains (losses), and $1.0 million reduction in net investment income, partially offset by an increase in net insurance premiums of $8.2 million and a reduction in amortization of deferred acquisition costs of $1.8 million.

The Closed Block was formed as of October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at inception. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future adverse experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, it is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance.

The maximum future earnings to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block assets over Closed Block liabilities. Included in Closed Block assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are $10.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience.

The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block which is referred to as the “glide path.” The glide path model projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the glide path as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block policies and the investment experience of the Closed Block assets. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether a policy dividend obligation should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. See “Note 5—Closed Block” in the accompanying Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The block where there are no dividends expected had a significant number of policies issued in December 1999 which had level premiums for the first 20 durations, followed by premiums which increased significantly in duration 21 as the premiums from that point forward go to an annually increasing scale. The approximate increase in premiums going from the 20th to the 21st duration is 1300%. Direct policies are a mixture of annual, semi-annual, quarterly, and monthly premium payment modes, whereas ceded policies are all annual premium mode. Therefore, both direct and ceded premiums increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2019 on the Closed Block compared to the prior year as this group of policies ended their level term with larger impacts affecting ceded premiums more than direct premiums as a result of these modal differences.

Most of these policies lapsed in the first quarter of 2020 causing increases in net insurance premiums due to modal differences in direct and ceded premiums and a reduction in ceding allowances included in operating costs and expenses and life, annuity and health claim benefits and offset by a decrease in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net loss decreased to $2.6 million from a net loss of $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $1.1 million decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to $3.2 million of costs related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO in 2019, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses due to targeted growth initiatives and costs associated with being a public company.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net loss increased to $7.5 million from a net loss of $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $0.8 million increase in net loss is primarily attributable to $3.2 million of costs related to accelerated vesting of incentive compensation related to the completion of the IPO in 2019, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses due to targeted growth initiatives and costs associated with being a public company.

The impact of the eliminations for intercompany transactions primarily consists of the sales by the Agency Segment of the life products of the Insurance Segment. The eliminations represent the amounts required to eliminate the intercompany transactions as recorded in the segment results, and in particular, to eliminate any intersegment profits resulting from such transactions. Our segment results follow the accounting principles and methods applicable to each segment as if the intercompany transactions were with unaffiliated organizations:

Revenue—the Agency Segment recognizes all commission revenue to be paid for the first year that the policy is in force at the date that the insurance policy goes in force at the carrier.

Expense—the Insurance Segment recognizes the first-year commission as a policy acquisition cost, in proportion to the premiums earned from providing insurance coverage throughout the first year that the policy is in force. In addition, the Insurance Segment defers the amount by which the first-year commission acquisition costs exceed the ultimate renewal commission and records this amount as deferred acquisition cost that is amortized over the expected life of the policy.

Viewed at the segment level, because of the timing difference between the Agency Segment’s immediate recognition of commission revenue and the Insurance Segment’s deferral and amortization of the commission expense over the expected life of the policy, all else being equal, the sale of a policy through the Agency Segment results in an intersegment profit in an amount equal to the difference between the commission paid and the related amortization expense. However, in consolidation, two impacts occur. First, the intercompany revenue recognized by the Agency Segment and the related deferred acquisition expense recorded by the Insurance Segment are eliminated. Second, deferred policy acquisition costs are recorded equal to that portion of commission deferred acquisition cost (DAC) that can be tied directly to Efinancial’s expenses incurred in the successful placement of a policy. Therefore, in consolidation, the commission DAC recorded in the Insurance Segment is effectively reduced to reflect the elimination of that portion of commission DAC that results from Efinancial expenses that cannot be directly tied to the successful placement of a policy. The

amount of eliminated commission DAC, which represents a majority of the commission DAC, is charged to current expense, and acquisition cost DAC is recorded at a reduced amount, which represents the amount of commission DAC that is eligible for deferral under GAAP.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of intercompany eliminations on pre-tax income was a reduction of $1.6 million compared to a $0.8 million reduction for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase in pre-tax loss is primarily related to eliminating lower amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs mainly as a result of selling business through the AmeriLife distribution channel.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of intercompany eliminations on pre-tax income was a reduction of $5.7 million compared to a $3.9 million reduction for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase in pre-tax loss is primarily related to eliminating lower amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs mainly as a result of selling business through the AmeriLife distribution channel.

We invest available cash and funds that support our regulatory capital, surplus requirements and policy reserves in investment securities that are included in the Insurance and Corporate Segments. We earn income on these investments in the form of interest on fixed maturity securities (bonds and mortgage loans) and dividends (equity holdings). Net investment income is recorded as revenue, net of investment related expenses. The amount of net investment income that we recognize will vary depending on the amount of invested assets that we own, the types of investments, the interest rates earned and amount of dividends received on our investments.

Gains and losses on sales of investments are classified as “realized investment gains (losses)” and are recorded as revenue. Capital appreciation and depreciation caused by changes in the market value of investments classified as “available-for-sale” is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amount of investment gains and losses that we recognize depends on the amount of and the types of invested assets we own, and the market conditions related to those investments. Our cash needs can vary from time to time and could require that we sell invested assets to fund cash needs.

Our investment strategy and guidelines are developed by management and approved by the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. Our investment strategy related to the Insurance Segment is designed to maintain a well-diversified, high quality fixed income portfolio that will provide adequate levels of net investment income and liquidity to meet our policyholder obligations under our life insurance policies and our assumed annuity deposits. To help maintain liquidity, we establish the duration of invested assets within a tolerance to the policy liability duration. The investments of the Insurance Segment are managed with an emphasis on current income within quality and diversification constraints. The focus is on book yield of the fixed income portfolio as

the anticipated portfolio yield is a key element used in pricing our insurance products and establishing policyholder crediting rates on our annuity contracts.

We apply our overall investment strategy and guidelines on a consolidated basis for purposes of monitoring compliance with our overall guidelines. All of our investments are owned by Fidelity Life and are maintained in compliance with insurance regulations. Critical guidelines of our investment plan include:

Our investment portfolios are all managed by third-party investment managers that specialize in insurance company asset management. These managers are selected based upon their expertise in the particular asset classes that we own. We contract with an investment management firm to provide overall assistance with oversight of our portfolio managers, evaluation of investment performance and assistance with development and implementation of our investment strategy. This investment management firm reports to our Chief Financial Officer and to the Investment Committee of Fidelity Life’s board of directors. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances require, we review the performance of all portfolios and portfolio managers with the Investment Committee.

The following table shows the distribution of the fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale by quality rating using the rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. For securities where the S&P rating is not available (not rated), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating is used. Over the periods presented, we have maintained a consistent weighted average bond quality rating of “A.” The percentage allocation of total investment grade securities was 98.0% and 98.2% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Every quarter, we review all investments where the market value is less than the carrying value to ascertain if the impairment of the security’s value is OTTI. The quarterly review is targeted to focus on securities with larger impairments and that have been in an impaired status for longer periods of time. See “Note 9 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” in the accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

One key measure of our net investment income is the book yield on our holdings of fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale. Fair value of these securities totaled $352.3 million and $314.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Book yield is the effective interest rate, before investment expenses, that we earn on these investments. Book yield is calculated as the percent of net investment income to the average amortized cost of the underlying investments for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our book yield on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale was 3.9% and 4.3%, respectively. See “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Included with the future policy benefits is the liability for contract holder deposits on deferred annuity contracts assumed through two reinsurance agreements effective in 1991 and 1992 and certain other policy funds left on deposit with the Company. The aggregate liability for deposits is as follows:

The liability for deferred annuity deposits represents the contract holder account balances. Due to the declines in market interest rates and the book yield on our investment portfolio, we credit interest on all contract holder deposit liabilities at contractual rates that are currently at the minimum rate allowed by the contract or by state regulations.

Our Insurance Segment realizes operating profit from the excess of our book yield realized on fixed maturity securities that support our contract holder deposits over the amount of interest that we credit to the contract holder. We refer to this operating profit as the “spread” we earn on contract holder deposits. If book yields decline further, the amount of spread between the interest earned and credited will be reduced.

Net realized investment gains (losses) are subject to general economic trends and generally correlate with movements in major market indexes. The amounts classified as net realized gains (losses) in our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

include amounts realized from sales of investments, mark-to-market adjustments and OTTI of individual securities related to credit impairment. See “Note 2 – Investments” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

The Company records capital appreciation/depreciation on the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, accumulated other comprehensive income, from mark-to-market adjustments of our available-for-sale fixed income securities, net of federal income taxes and reserves was $5.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively. See “Note 9 – Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

At September 30, 2020, we had total assets of $752.2 million compared to total assets at December 31, 2019 of $721.8 million, an increase of $30.4 million. The invested asset base increased $5.7 million, mainly due to net purchases of investments of $24.4 million and $11.1 million in net unrealized gains, partially offset by the maturity of short-term investments of $29.8 million. Reinsurance recoverables increased $17.5 million as a result of a $13.4 million increase in ceded policy and claim reserves and an increase of $4.1 million related to timing of settlements of reinsured claims. Commission and agent balances increased $6.8 million due to the timing of collections. Deferred policy acquisition costs increased $2.6 million primarily due to deferrals on new business in excess of amortization. Cash increased $2.4 million primarily related to cash from operating and financing activities, partially offset by cash used to purchase new investments. Deferred income taxes increased $1.3 million, primarily due to a deferred tax credit as a result of net loss, partially offset by tax on unrealized investment market gains. The above increases were partially offset primarily by the following drivers: Other assets decreased $5.5 million, primarily due to decreases in due premium mostly on the Closed Block, partially offset by increases in internally developed software.

At September 30, 2020, we had total liabilities of $553.0 million compared to total liabilities of $509.4 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $43.6 million. Future policy benefits and claims increased $36.0 million, primarily due to a $33.7 million increase in Core Life and Non-Core Life lines resulting from growth and maturity of the underlying blocks of business and $2.2 million increase in annuities and assumed life. Debt increased $7.6 million related to additional net borrowings under our commission financing agreement with Hannover Life. Other liabilities increased $6.4 million, primarily related to timing of investment trades and higher operating expense accruals. Other policyholder liabilities increased $4.7 million due to changes in claim reserves. Policyholder dividend obligations related to the Closed Block increased $1.4 million, primarily due to changes in the market value of invested assets. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in Reinsurance liabilities and payables of $9.3 million, primarily related to timing of ceded due premium largely from the Closed Block, and $3.1 million decrease in Policyholder account balances, largely due to annuity payments.

At September 30, 2020, total equity decreased to $199.2 million from $212.4 million at December 31, 2019. This decrease in equity of $13.2 million was attributable to a decrease in Retained earnings of $18.6 million due to net loss, partially offset by unrealized net gains on investments.

Our principal sources of funds are from premium revenues, commission revenues, net investment income and proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments and net borrowings. The Company’s primary uses of funds are for payment of life, annuity and health claim benefits, contract holder withdrawals on assumed annuity contracts, new business acquisition costs for our insurance operations (i.e., commissions, underwriting and issue costs), cost of sales for Agency operations (i.e., agent compensation, purchased lead and lead generation costs), operating costs and expenses and purchases of investments. Our investment portfolio is structured to provide funds periodically over time, through net investment income and maturities, for the payment of policy benefits and contract holder withdrawals.

Under our commission financing arrangement with Hannover Life, Fidelity Life is able to pay level annual commissions instead of first year only commissions to Efinancial for sales of RAPIDecision® Life policies and Hannover Life advances to Efinancial amounts approximately equal to first year only commissions for sales of those policies. This arrangement reduces Fidelity Life’s surplus strain associated with issuing RAPIDecision® Life business while helping to provide liquidity for Efinancial through the receipt of larger first year only commissions. We are able to obtain advances up to $27.5 million under our arrangement with Hannover Life. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had net advances of $25.8 million and $19.1 million, respectively, under this arrangement.

We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “FHLBC”). As a member, we are able to borrow on a collateralized basis from the FHLBC. We own FHLBC common stock with a book value of $0.1 million, which allows us to borrow up to $2.6 million. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by the FHLBC based on the interest rate option selected at the time of the borrowing. There have been no borrowings from the FHLBC during 2020 and 2019.

During the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, the Board of Directors of Fidelity Life approved payments of $0.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in dividends to Vericity Holdings, Inc. (Vericity Holdings), an intermediate holding company and immediate parent of Fidelity Life. The dividends provided operating funds to Vericity Holdings to support corporate operations and initiatives. Following the Conversion, Fidelity Life has agreed not to pay any dividends without the approval of a majority of the Company designees. In connection with the approval of the Conversion by the Illinois Director of Insurance, we agreed, for a period of ‎twenty-four months following the completion of the Conversion, to (i) seek the prior approval of the Illinois ‎Department of Insurance for any declaration of an ordinary dividend by Fidelity Life, and (ii) either maintain $20 ‎million of the proceeds of the offering at the Company or use all or a portion of that $20 million to fund our operations.‎

Cash flows from investing activities includes our fixed maturity securities and equity holdings that are classified as available-for-sale securities. Period to period, the cash flows associated with the changes in these portfolios will vary between cash sources and cash uses depending on portfolio trading due to investment market conditions.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consists of the assumed annuity contract holder deposits. The annuity liabilities are reducing each period due to cash withdrawals by contract holders on this block of annuities that were primarily written in the late 1980s. Cash deposits from these annuity contracts are minimal compared to cash withdrawal activity. Also included in financing cash flows are net proceeds from our commission financing arrangement.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a net increase in cash of $2.4 million compared to a net increase of $58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily due to increases in net insurance premiums, partially offset by increased claim benefits. In 2019, proceeds from the IPO were included in financing activities and partially offset in investing activities.

All applicable adopted accounting pronouncements have been reflected in our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such legal proceedings, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, we believe that there is no individual case pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
