PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the historical information included and incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information included and incorporated by reference herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations and our strategic plans and objectives. When we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings with the SEC.

The factors described herein are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect our forward-looking statements. Consequently, our actual performance could be materially different from the results described or anticipated by our forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by the applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Certain market data and industry data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were obtained from reports of governmental agencies and industry publications and surveys.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tiptree have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the main operating currency of the Company. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial information reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending on December 31, 2021.

Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than Tiptree. Accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

As a result of changes in presentation made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


Standard	Description	Adoption Date	Impact on Financial Statements
2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes	The standard eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) exceptions to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments and (3) exceptions in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods.	January 1, 2021	The standard makes changes to areas of tax accounting for transactions and situations which do not currently apply to the Company’s activity, so the adoption of the standard does not currently impact the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no accounting standards issued applicable to the Company.

On January 3, 2020, a subsidiary of the Company acquired (the Acquisition) all of the equity interests of Accelerated Service Enterprise LLC, SAC Holdings Inc., Dealer Motor Services, Inc., Independent Dealer Group, Inc., Ownershield, Inc., Freedom Insurance Company, Ltd. (Freedom), SAC Admin, Inc., SAC Insurance Company, Inc., Smart AutoCare, Inc. and Smart AutoCare Administration Solutions, Inc. (together Smart AutoCare), pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) between Fortegra Warranty Holdings, LLC. (Buyer) and Peter Masi (Seller), dated as of December 16, 2019. Concurrent with the Acquisition, Freedom terminated reinsurance agreements with affiliates of Seller (the Commutation Transaction).

Tiptree paid Seller $111,804, net of working capital true-ups, in cash at closing, $8,250 of which will be held in an escrow account for 18 months to satisfy indemnity claims. Simultaneously, pursuant to the Commutation Transaction, affiliates of Seller paid Freedom $102,000 in cash. Smart AutoCare’s results are included in the Company’s Insurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Management’s allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired resulted in the recording of finite-lived intangible assets valued at $93,700, with an estimated amortization period of 5 to 13.5 years. It is expected that the tax basis in intangible assets will be similar to the GAAP values provided above. The residual amount of the purchase price after the allocation to net assets acquired and identifiable intangibles of $60,346 has been allocated to goodwill. This goodwill is included in the Insurance segment. It is expected that $21,127 of this goodwill will be tax deductible over a 15 year period.

The following table summarizes the final determination of the fair value amounts for the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and goodwill, as described above, for the transactions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

(10) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its overall investment and hedging activities. Derivative contracts are subject to additional risk that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Company’s derivative activities are primarily classified by underlying credit risk and interest rate risk. In addition, the Company is also subject to additional counterparty risk should its counterparties fail to meet the contract terms. The derivative financial instruments are reported in other investments. Derivative liabilities are reported within other liabilities and accrued expenses.

Derivatives, at fair value

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with customers in connection with its mortgage banking activities to fund residential mortgage loans with certain terms at specified times in the future. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be classified as held-for-sale are considered derivative instruments under applicable accounting guidance. As such, these IRLCs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value typically resulting in recognition of a gain when the Company enters into IRLCs. In estimating the fair value of an IRLC, the Company assigns a probability that the loan commitment will be exercised and the loan will be funded (“pull through”). The fair value of the commitments is derived from the fair value of related mortgage loans, net of estimated costs to complete. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans underlying the commitments might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan. To manage this risk, the Company utilizes forward delivery contracts and to be announced (TBA) mortgage backed securities to economically hedge the risk of potential changes in the value of the loans that would

result from the commitments.

Forward Delivery Contracts and TBA Mortgage Backed Securities

The Company enters into forward delivery contracts with loan aggregators and other investors as one of the tools to manage the interest rate risk associated with IRLCs and loans held for sale. In addition, the Company enters into TBA mortgage backed securities which facilitate hedging and funding by allowing the Company to prearrange prices for mortgages that are in the process of originating. The Company utilizes these hedging instruments for Agency (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and FHA/VA (Ginnie Mae) eligible IRLCs.

The following table presents the gross notional and fair value amounts of derivatives (on a gross basis) categorized by underlying risk:

(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible to measure a financial instrument’s fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and are affected by the type of product, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, as well as current market conditions. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is estimated by applying the hierarchy discussed in Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s fair value measurements are based primarily on a market approach, which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable financial instruments. Sources of inputs to the market approach include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations and pricing matrices. Management analyzes the third-party valuation methodologies and its related inputs to perform assessments to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy and to assess reliability of values. Further, management has a process in place to review all changes in fair value that occurred during each measurement period. Any discrepancies or unusual observations are followed through to resolution through the source of the pricing as well as utilizing comparisons, if applicable, to alternate pricing sources.

The Company utilizes observable and unobservable inputs within its valuation methodologies. Observable inputs may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. In addition, specific issuer information and other market data is used. Broker quotes are obtained from sources recognized to be market participants. Unobservable inputs may include: expected cash flow streams, default rates, supply and demand considerations and market volatility.

The fair values of available for sale securities are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service and a third-party investment manager. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the independent pricing service and the third-party investment manager by analyzing the investment manager-provided pricing report.

The following details the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of AFS securities and the applicable level each security falls within the fair value hierarchy:

U.S Treasury Securities, Obligations of U.S. Government Authorities and Agencies, Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions, Corporate Securities, Asset Backed Securities, and Obligations of Foreign Governments: Fair values were obtained from an independent pricing service and a third-party investment manager. The prices provided by the independent pricing service and third-party investment manager are based on quoted market prices, when available, non-binding broker quotes, or matrix pricing and fall under Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Certificates of Deposit: The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit approximate carrying value and fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities

The fair values of publicly traded common and preferred equity securities and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) are obtained from market value quotations provided by an independent pricing service and fall under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of non-publicly traded common and preferred stocks are based on prices obtained from an independent pricing service using unobservable inputs and fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loans, at fair value

Corporate Loans: These loans are comprised of a diversified portfolio of middle market and broadly syndicated leveraged loans and are generally classified under either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. To determine fair value, the Company uses quoted prices which include those provided from pricing vendors, where available. We perform internal price verification procedures to ensure that the prices and quotes provided from the independent pricing vendors are reasonable. Such verification procedures include comparison of pricing sources and analysis of variances among pricing sources. The Company has evaluated each loan’s respective liquidity and has additionally performed valuation benchmarking. The key characteristics which were evaluated as part of this determination were liquidity ratings, price changes to index benchmarks, depth of quotes, credit ratings and industry trends.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are generally classified under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and fair value is based upon forward sales contracts with third-party investors, including estimated loan costs.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivatives are primarily comprised of IRLCs, forward delivery contracts and TBA mortgage backed securities. The fair value of these instruments is based upon valuation pricing models, which represent the amount the Company would expect to receive or pay at the balance sheet date to exit the position. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries issue IRLCs to their customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to the value of the underlying loan associated with the IRLC net of costs to produce and an expected pull through assumption. The fair values of these commitments generally fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries manage their exposure by entering into forward delivery commitments with loan investors. For loans not locked with investors under a forward delivery commitment, the Company enters into hedge instruments, primarily TBAs, to protect against movements in interest rates. The fair values of TBA mortgage backed securities and forward delivery contracts generally fall under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds

Corporate bonds are generally classified under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and fair value is provided by a third-party investment manager, based on quoted market prices. We perform internal price verification procedures monthly to ensure that the prices provided are reasonable.

Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased

Securities sold, not yet purchased are generally classified under Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the leveling of the securities sold short, and fair value is provided by a third-party investment manager, based on quoted market prices. We perform internal price verification procedures monthly to ensure that the prices provided are reasonable.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are classified under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and fair value is provided by a third-party valuation service. Various observable and unobservable inputs are used to determine fair value, including discount rate, cost to service and weighted average prepayment speed.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchies for financial assets and liabilities, measured on a recurring basis:

Debentures: Since interest rates on debentures are at current market rates for similar credit risks, the carrying amount approximates fair value. These values are net of allowance for doubtful accounts.

Notes Receivable, net: To the extent that carrying amounts differ from fair value, fair value is determined based on contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar credits. Categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note (7) Notes and Accounts Receivable, net.

Debt: The carrying value, which approximates fair value of LIBOR based debt, represents the total debt balance at face value excluding the unamortized discount. The fair value of the Junior subordinated notes is determined based on dealer quotes. Categorized under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Additionally, the following financial assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are not carried at fair value, but whose carrying amounts approximate their fair value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Categorized under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

TIPTREE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

(in thousands, except share data)

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company experienced an increase in prior year development of $2,289, primarily as a result of higher than expected claim frequency from business written by a small group of producers of our personal and commercial lines of business.

Management considers the prior year development for each of the two years to be insignificant when considered in the context of our annual earned premiums, net as well as our net losses and loss adjustment expenses and member benefit claims expenses. We analyze our development on a quarterly basis and given the short duration nature of our products, favorable or adverse development emerges quickly and allows for timely reserve strengthening, if necessary, or modifications to our product pricing or offerings.

Based upon our internal analysis, we believe that the amounts recorded for policy liabilities and unpaid claims reasonably represents the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.

(14) Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s revenues from insurance and warranty operations are primarily accounted for under Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) that are not within the scope of Revenue for Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company’s remaining revenues that are within the scope of Topic 606 are primarily comprised of revenues from contracts with customers for monthly membership dues for motor clubs, monthly administration fees for services provided for premiums, claims and reinsurance processing revenues, vehicle service contracts, vessel related revenue and warranty coverage revenues for household goods and appliances (collectively, remaining contracts).

The following table presents the disaggregated amounts of revenue from contracts with customers by product type for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Service and Administrative Fees:
Motor club revenue	$	9,184	$	9,735
Warranty coverage revenue	33,068		21,218
Vessel related revenue	5,699		7,246

Other	5,364		1,701
Revenue from contracts with customers	$	53,315	$	39,900

Service and Administrative Fees

Service fee revenue is recognized as the services are performed. These services include fulfillment, software development, and claims handling for our customers. Management reviews the financial results under each significant contract on a monthly basis. Any losses that may occur due to a specific contract would be recognized in the period in which the loss is determined probable.

Administrative fee revenue includes the administration of premium associated with our producers and their producer owned reinsurance companies (PORCs). In addition, we also earn fee revenue from debt cancellation programs, motor club programs, and warranty programs. Related administrative fee revenue is recognized consistent with the earnings recognition pattern of the underlying insurance policies, debt cancellation contracts and motor club memberships being administered, using Rule of 78's, modified Rule of 78's, pro rata, or other methods as appropriate for the contract. Management selects the appropriate method based on available information, and periodically reviews the selections as additional information becomes available.

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material at March 31, 2021.

The timing of our revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by our customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and we have an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

Vessel Related Revenue

The Company generates its revenues from charterers for the charter hire of its vessels. Vessels are chartered under time or voyage charters, where a contract is entered into for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage or a specific period of time and at a specified daily charter rate. Charter revenues are recognized as earned on the straight-line basis over the term of the charter as service is provided.

Revenue is recognized when a charter agreement exists, the vessel is made available to the charterer and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Unearned revenue includes revenue received prior to the balance sheet date relating to services to be rendered after the balance sheet date.

The following table presents the activity in the significant deferred assets and liabilities related to revenue from contracts with customers for the following period:

by regulatory authorities, including the NAIC; their capital and surplus levels exceeded respective minimum requirements as

of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Statutory Dividends

The Company’s U.S. domiciled insurance company subsidiaries may pay dividends to the Company, subject to statutory restrictions. Payments in excess of statutory restrictions (extraordinary dividends) to the Company are permitted only with prior approval of the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. The Company eliminates all dividends from its subsidiaries in the condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no dividends paid to the Company by its U.S domiciled insurance company subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The following table presents the combined amount available for ordinary dividends of the Company's U.S. domiciled insurance company subsidiaries for the following periods:








					As of
					March 31, 2021	December 31, 2020
Amount available for ordinary dividends of the Company's insurance company subsidiaries	$	18,519	$	13,418

At March 31, 2021, the maximum amount of dividends that our U.S. domiciled regulated insurance company subsidiaries could pay under applicable laws and regulations without regulatory approval was approximately $18,519. The Company may seek regulatory approval to pay dividends in excess of this permitted amount, but there can be no assurance that the Company would receive regulatory approval if sought.

Equity Plans

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Company adopted the Tiptree 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2017 Equity Plan) on June 6, 2017, which permits the grant of restricted stock units (RSUs), stock, and stock options up to a maximum of 6,100,000 shares of common stock. The general purpose of the 2017 Equity Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees and directors for the Company and its subsidiaries, to provide them with incentives and rewards for performance and to better align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Unless otherwise extended, the 2017 Equity Plan terminates automatically on June 6, 2027. The table below summarizes changes to the issuances under the Company’s 2017 Equity Plan for the periods indicated, excluding awards granted under the Company’s subsidiary incentive plans that are exchangeable for Tiptree common stock:


2017 Equity Plan			Number of shares (1)











Available for issuance as of December 31, 2020			3,788,417
RSU, stock and option awards granted			(25,381)
Available for issuance as of March 31, 2021			3,763,036

(1) Excludes awards granted under the Company’s subsidiary incentive plans that are exchangeable for Tiptree common stock.

Restricted Stock Units and Stock Awards

Tiptree Corporate Incentive Plans

The Company values RSUs at their grant-date fair value as measured by Tiptree’s common stock price. Generally, the Tiptree RSUs vest and become non-forfeitable with respect to one-third of Tiptree shares granted on each of the first, second and third year anniversaries of the date of the grant, and expensed using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.

Stock Awards - Directors’ Compensation

The Company values the stock awards at their issuance-date fair value as measured by Tiptree’s common stock price. Upon issuance, the awards are deemed to be granted and immediately vested.

The following table presents changes to the issuances of RSUs and stock awards under the 2017 Equity Plan for the periods indicated:

(1) Includes 256,619 shares that vest ratably over three years and 212,638 shares that cliff vest in February 2021 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Subsidiary Incentive Plans

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have established incentive plans under which they are authorized to issue equity of those subsidiaries to certain of their employees. Such awards are accounted for as equity. These awards are subject to performance-vesting criteria based on the performance of the subsidiary (performance vesting awards) and time-vesting subject to continued employment (time vesting awards). Following the service period, such vested awards may be exchanged at fair market value, at the option of the holder, for Tiptree common stock under the 2017 Equity Plan. The service period for certain grants has been achieved and those vested subsidiary awards are currently eligible for exchange. The Company has the option, but not the obligation to settle the exchange right in cash.

The following table presents changes to the issuances of subsidiary awards under the subsidiary incentive plans for the periods indicated:


	Grant date fair value of equity shares issuable












Unvested balance as of December 31, 2020	$	4,305
Granted	1,079
Vested	(1,358)
Unvested balance as of March 31, 2021	$	4,026

The net vested balance of subsidiary awards eligible for exchange as of March 31, 2021 translates to 2,570,055 shares of Tiptree common stock.

Stock Option Awards

Tiptree Corporate Incentive Plans

Option awards have been granted to the Executive Committee with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The option awards have a 10-year term and are subject to the recipient’s continuous service, a market requirement, and vest one third on each of the three, four, and five year anniversaries of the grant date. The market requirement is the Company's 20-day volume weighted average per share trading price plus actual cash dividends paid following issuance of the option that exceeds the book value on the option grant date. If the service condition is met, the full amount of the compensation expense will be recognized over the appropriate vesting period whether the market requirement is met or not. The options granted after 2017 include a retirement provision and are amortized over the lesser of the service condition or expected retirement date. Book value targets for grants in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are $11.52, $10.79, $9.97, $10.14 and $8.96, respectively. There were no options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The fair value option grants are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula embedded within a Monte Carlo model used to simulate the future stock prices of the Company, which assumes that the market requirement is achieved. Historical volatility was computed based on historical daily returns of the Company’s stock between the grant date and July 1, 2013, the date of the business combination through which Tiptree became a public company. The valuation is done under a risk-neutral framework using the 10-year zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., which was filed in February 2006, in the Pike Circuit Court, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A class was certified in June 2010. At issue is the duration or term of coverage under certain disability and life credit insurance policies. The action alleges violations of the Consumer Protection Act and certain insurance statutes, as well as common law fraud and seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and interest. To date, the court has not awarded sanctions in connection with Plaintiffs’ April 2012 Motion for Sanctions. In January 2015, the trial court issued an Order denying the Company’s motion to decertify the class, which was upheld on appeal. Following a February 2017 hearing, the court denied the Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to certain disability insurance policies. In January 2018, the court vacated its November 2017 order granting Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to the life certificates at issue with leave to refile. No trial or additional hearings are currently scheduled.

The Company considers such litigation customary in the insurance industry. In management's opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of the Company. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards, bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

(22) Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic net income per share of common stock (common share) based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which includes vested corporate RSUs. Unvested corporate RSUs have a non-forfeitable right to participate in dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common stock on an as vested basis and are therefore considered a participating security. The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the “two-class” method under which the income available to common stockholders is allocated to the unvested corporate RSUs.

Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders includes the effect of unvested subsidiaries’ RSUs, when dilutive. The assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive instruments are included in the diluted net income per common share calculation, if dilutive.

(23) Related Party Transactions

Corvid Peak is a related party of the Company because Corvid Peak is deemed to be controlled by Michael Barnes, the Company’s Executive Chairman. Tiptree invested $75,000 to seed new investment funds to be managed by Corvid Peak, which was completely funded in the first quarter of 2020. The Company pays Corvid Peak an annual management fee of 1.25% of the net asset value of invested capital and an incentive fee equal to 20% of the net profits, subject to a conventional high water mark. The Company incurred $308 and $212 of management and incentive fees to Corvid Peak for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Tiptree and Corvid Peak have mutually agreed to provide certain services to one another. Payments under the Transition Services Agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material.

Pursuant to the Emeritus Agreement, Tiptree agreed to provide Mr. Inayatullah, a greater than 5% stockholder of the Company, office space and support services, and reimburse Mr. Inayatullah for a portion of benefit expenses in exchange for advice and other consulting services as requested by the Company’s Executive Committee. Transactions related to the Emeritus Agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material.

(24) Subsequent Events

On May 4, 2021, the Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share to holders of common stock with a record date of May 24, 2021, and a payment date of June 1, 2021.

Effective May 3, 2021, Corvid Peak entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “IAA”) with Fortegra and certain of its subsidiaries. As previously disclosed, Corvid Peak is a related party of Tiptree because Michael Barnes, Tiptree’s Executive Chairman, has an economic interest in Corvid Peak that predates Tiptree’s acquisition of Corvid Peak. Under the IAA, Corvid Peak will provide Fortegra investment management services for fees ranging between 0.20% and 1.25% of net asset value depending on the asset class and the net asset value of certain asset classes. Entering into the IAA by Fortegra’s statutory insurance companies is subject to approval by the relevant state insurance regulatory authorities.

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

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is presented in this section as follows:

•Overview

•Results of Operations

•Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

•Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

OVERVIEW

Tiptree is a holding company that allocates capital across a broad spectrum of businesses, assets and other investments. Our principal operating subsidiary and primary source of earnings, Fortegra, along with its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of specialty insurance, underwriting warranty and service contract products and related service solutions. We also generate earnings from a diverse group of select investments that we refer to as Tiptree Capital, which includes our Mortgage segment and our other, non-insurance businesses and assets. We evaluate our performance primarily by the comparison of our shareholders’ long-term total return on capital, as measured by Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and growth in book value per share plus dividends.

Our first quarter 2021 highlights include:

Overall:

•Net income of $28.6 million increased from a net loss of $60.0 million in 2020, which was driven by growth in insurance underwriting operations and growth in volume and margins in our mortgage business, in addition to realized and unrealized gains on investments as compared to unrealized losses in 2020.

•Adjusted net income increased 90.5% to $13.2 million, from $6.9 million in 2020, driven by improvement in insurance and mortgage operations. Adjusted return on average equity was 13.7%, as compared to 7.3% in 2020.

•Book value per share of $11.63 as of March 31, 2021, when combined with dividends paid, increased 21.2% from the prior year, and 7.1% from year-end 2020, driven by a combination of net income and share repurchases at discounts to book value per share.

•In 2021, we purchased and retired 488,662 shares of our common stock for $2.5 million, at an average 57% discount to book value. Over the past four quarters, we returned $17.8 million to shareholders, including 2.3 million of share buybacks at an average 49% discount to book value per share.

•Cash and cash equivalents of $123.9 million as of March 31, 2021, of which $77.7 million resides outside our statutory insurance subsidiaries.

Insurance:

•Total revenues increased 55.3% to $222.6 million, from $143.3 million in 2020, driven by increases in earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees, and net realized and unrealized gains as compared to losses in the prior year period.

•The combined ratio improved to 91.5%, as compared to 93.6% in 2020, driven by the shift in business mix toward warranty and commercial programs improving the underwriting ratio and continued scalability of our technology and shared service platform, which improved the expense ratio.

•Income before taxes of $21.5 million increased by $48.6 million as compared to a loss before taxes of $27.1 million in 2020. Return on average equity was 23.9% in 2021 as compared to (28.3)% in 2020. The increase in both metrics was driven operationally by growth in revenues and improvements in the combined ratio, in addition to net realized and unrealized gains on investments as compared to losses in the prior year.

•Adjusted net income increased 46.3% to $12.8 million, as compared to $8.7 million in 2020. Adjusted return on average equity was 17.9%, as compared to 12.7% in 2020. The increase in both metrics was driven by growth in revenues and the improved combined ratio.

•Gross written premiums and premium equivalents were $505.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $392 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, up 28.7% as a result of growth in U.S. Insurance, U.S. Warranty Solutions and Europe Warranty Solutions.

•As of March 31, 2021, total cash and cash equivalents combined with total investments were $722.8 million, as compared to $588.3 million as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, 77% of the portfolio was invested in

high-credit quality fixed income securities with an average S&P rating of AA and a weighted average duration of 2.4 years.

Mortgage:

•Income before taxes of $13.1 million in 2021, as compared to loss before taxes of $1.1 million in 2020, with the increase driven by growth in volumes and margins resulting from reduced interest rates and home price appreciation.

•Adjusted net income improved for the three months ended March 31, 2021 by $7.3 million, driven by the same factors that impacted net income.

•Return on average equity of 60.9% and adjusted return on average equity of 45.6% in 2021, as compared to (6.8)% and 2.3%, respectively, in 2020.

Key Trends:

Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and GDP growth, market liquidity and volatility, consumer confidence, U.S. demographics, employment and wage growth, business confidence and investment, inflation, interest rates and spreads, the impact of the regulatory environment, and the other factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Generally, our businesses are positively affected by a healthy U.S. consumer, stable to gradually rising interest rates, stable markets and business conditions, and global growth and trade flows. Conversely, rising unemployment, volatile markets, rapidly rising interest rates, changing regulatory requirements and slowing business conditions can have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our insurance business generally focuses on products which have low severity but high frequency loss experiences and are short duration. As a result, the business has historically generated significant fee-based revenues. In general, the types of products we offer tend to have limited aggregation risk and, thus, limited exposure to catastrophic and residual risk. We mitigate our underwriting risk through a combination of reinsurance and retrospective commission structures with our agents, distribution partners and/or third-party reinsurers. To mitigate counterparty risk, we ensure our distribution partners’ captive reinsurance entities are over-collateralized with highly liquid investments, primarily cash and cash equivalents. Our insurance results primarily depend on our pricing, underwriting, risk retention and the accuracy of reserves, reinsurance arrangements, returns on invested assets, and policy and contract renewals and run-off. While our insurance operations have historically maintained a relatively stable combined ratio which support steady earnings, our initiatives to change our business mix along with economic factors could generate different results than we have historically experienced. We believe there will continue to be growth opportunities to expand our warranty and specialty programs insurance business model to other niche products and markets.

Our insurance investment portfolio primarily serves as a source to pay claims and secondarily as a source of income for our operations. Our investments include fixed maturity securities, loans, credit investment funds, and equity securities. Many of our investments are held at fair value. Changes in fair value for loans, credit investment funds, and equity securities are reported quarterly as unrealized gains or losses in revenues and can be impacted by changes in interest rates, credit risk, or market risk, including specific company or industry factors. Our equity holdings are relatively concentrated. General equity market trends, along with company and industry specific factors, can impact the fair value of our holdings and can result in unrealized gains and losses affecting our results.

Our businesses can also be impacted in various ways by changes in interest rates, which can result in fluctuations in the fair value of our investments, revenues associated with floating rate investments, volume and revenues in our mortgage business and interest expense associated with floating rate debt used to fund many of our operations. Rising interest rates in the first quarter impacted the value of certain of our fixed income securities in our investment portfolio, the unrealized loss on which was recorded in equity, and if realized, could impact our results of operations. Offsetting the impact of a rising interest rate environment, as our portfolio grows, new investments in fixed rate instruments from both maturities and portfolio growth can result in higher interest income on our investments over time. In declining interest rate environments, the opposite impacts could occur. In addition, certain of our investments are LIBOR based, which has resulted in lower investment income during the recent period of extended low rates, and which increased as rates rose in the first quarter. Rising interest rates can also impact our cost of LIBOR based debt obligations, while declining rates can decrease our cost of debt. Our secured revolving and term credit agreements, preferred trust securities and asset-based revolving financing are all floating rate obligations.

Low mortgage rates due to the Federal Reserve intervention in mortgage markets and rising home prices in certain markets, has resulted in a combination of higher mortgage volumes and margins beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and

continuing into the first quarter of 2021, which has been a benefit to our mortgage operations. The recent low interest rate environment also benefits our interest cost on debt, although our corporate debt remains above current LIBOR rates. There can be no assurance that these positive trends will continue, the reversal of which could have a materially negative impact on our results of operations, and which may only be partially mitigated by the benefit to our LIBOR based investments.

Common shares of Invesque represent a significant asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, both as part of our insurance investment portfolio and separately in Tiptree Capital. Our investment in Invesque, which operates in the seniors housing and skilled nursing industries, is carried on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. In April 2020, in response to the uncertainty in the industry, Invesque suspended its dividend to conserve liquidity. In combination with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on occupancy rates, Invesque’s stock declined significantly, which had a material impact on the carrying value of our investment and results of operations. While their stock price and the value of our investment increased in the first quarter of 2021, any additional declines in the fair value of Invesque’s common stock could have a significant impact on our results of operations and the value of our investment.

The maritime transportation industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Demand for shipping capacity is a function of global economic conditions and the related demand for commodities, production and consumption patterns, and is affected by events which interrupt production, trade routes, and consumption. The shipping industry is cyclical with high volatility in charter hire rates and profitability, which can change rapidly. General global economic conditions, along with company and industry specific factors, are expected to continue to impact the fair value of our vessels and associated operating results. While there is a current imbalance in supply and demand for shipping capacity, which has led to a cyclical high toward the end of the current quarter in dry-bulk charter rates, a change in those factors and/or changes in global economic conditions could result in substantially lower charter rates, which could negatively impact our results of operations and the carrying value of our vessels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a summary of our condensed consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. In addition to GAAP results, management uses the Non-GAAP measures Adjusted net income, Adjusted return on average equity, Adjusted EBITDA and book value per share as measurements of operating performance. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and comparison among companies. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Adjusted net income represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company plus corporate interest expense, plus income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization expense, less the effects of purchase accounting, plus non-cash fair value adjustments, plus significant non-recurring expenses, and plus unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities that are reported in other comprehensive income. Adjusted net income, Adjusted return on average equity and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of these measures to their GAAP equivalents.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenues were $294.7 million, which increased $165.0 million, or 127.3% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to net realized and unrealized gains in the 2021 period compared to losses in the 2020 period. Additionally, growth in Fortegra’s commercial, credit and warranty programs resulted in increases to earned premiums, net, and service and administrative fees, and improvement in mortgage volumes and margins led to increased realized gains.

The combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet grew by $283.5 million, or 27.4%, from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 as a result of Fortegra’s growth in gross written premiums and premium equivalents, primarily related to commercial, credit and warranty programs.

The table below provides a break down between net realized and unrealized gains and losses from Invesque and other securities which impacted our consolidated results on a pre-tax basis. Many of our investments are carried at fair value and marked to market through unrealized gains and losses. As a result, we expect our earnings relating to these investments to be relatively volatile between periods. Our fixed income securities are primarily marked to market through AOCI in stockholders’ equity and do not impact net realized and unrealized gains and losses until they are sold.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to common stockholders

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net income attributable to common stockholders was $28.6 million, an increase of $88.6 million from a net loss of $60.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted revenues in the respective periods.

Adjusted net income & Adjusted return on average equity - Non-GAAP

Adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $13.2 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 90.5%, from the three months ended March 31, 2020. For March 31, 2021, adjusted return on average equity was 13.7%, as compared to 7.3% at March 31, 2020, with the increase in both metrics driven by improved performance in our insurance and mortgage operations.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-GAAP

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $45.7 million, an increase of $116.2 million from 2020, which was substantially driven by realized and unrealized gains in the 2021 period compared to losses in the 2020 period.

Book Value per share - Non-GAAP

Total stockholders’ equity was $397.4 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to $373.5 million as of December 31, 2020. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, Tiptree returned $3.8 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid. Book value per share for the period ended March 31, 2021 was $11.63, an increase from book value per share of $9.73 as of March 31, 2020. The key drivers of the increase over the past four quarters were net income per share and the purchase of 2.3 million shares at an average 49% discount to book value partially offset by dividends paid of $0.16 per share.

Results by Segment

We classify our business into two reportable segments, Insurance and Mortgage, with the remainder of our operations aggregated into Tiptree Capital - Other. Corporate activities include holding company interest expense, corporate employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses, including, but not limited to, public company expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Mortgage has been broken out of Tiptree Capital as a reportable segment because for the year ended December 31, 2020 it met the quantitative threshold for disclosure. Prior year segments have been conformed to the current year presentation.

Insurance

Our principal operating subsidiary, Fortegra, is a specialty insurance program underwriter and service provider, which focuses on niche business mixes and fee-oriented services. Our combination of specialty insurance underwriting, warranty and service contract products, and related service solutions delivered through a vertically integrated business model creates a blend of traditional underwriting revenues, investment income and unregulated fee revenues. We are an agent-driven business model, distributing our products through independent insurance agents, consumer finance companies, online retailers, auto dealers, and regional big box retailers to deliver products that complement the consumer transaction.

Revenues

Earned Premiums, net

Earned premiums, net represent the earned portion of our gross written premiums, less the earned portion that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under our reinsurance agreements, as well as the earned portion of our assumed premiums. Our insurance policies generally have a term of six months to seven years depending on the underlying product and premiums are earned pro rata over the term of the policy. At the end of each reporting period, premiums written but not earned are classified as unearned premiums and are earned in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy.

Service and Administrative Fees

Service and administrative fees represent the earned portion of our gross written premiums and premium equivalents, which is generated from non-insurance programs including warranty service contracts, motor club programs and other services offered as part of our vertically integrated product offerings. Such fees are typically positively correlated with transaction volume and are recognized as revenue when realized and earned. At the end of each reporting period, gross written premiums and premium equivalents written for service contracts not earned are classified as deferred revenue, which are earned in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy.

Ceding Commissions and Other Revenue

Ceding commissions and other revenue consists of commissions earned on policies written on behalf of third-party insurance companies with no exposure to the insured risk and certain fees earned in conjunction with underwriting policies. Other revenue also includes the interest income earned on our premium finance product offering.

Net Investment Income

We earn investment income on our portfolio of invested assets. Our invested assets are primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities, and may also include cash and cash equivalents and equity securities. The principal factors that influence net investment income are the size of our investment portfolio, the yield on that portfolio and expenses due to external investment managers.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are a function of the difference between the amount received by us on the sale of a security and the security’s cost-basis, as well as any “other-than-temporary” impairments and allowances for credit losses which are recognized in earnings. In addition, we carry our equity securities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in this line.

Revenues - Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total revenues increased 55.3%, to $222.6 million, as compared to $143.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Earned premiums, net of $146.9 million increased $25.6 million, or 21.1%, driven by growth in commercial, credit and warranty insurance programs. Service and administration fees of $58.1 million increased by 32.8% driven by growth in warranty and consumer goods service contract revenues. Ceding commissions of $3.0 million decreased by $3.5 million, or 53.6%, driven by lower fees associated with the decrease in ceded premiums in certain credit insurance and collateral protection programs. Other revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 13.1%, driven by growth in our premium and warranty finance programs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 28.4% of our revenues were derived from fees that are not solely dependent upon the underwriting performance of our insurance products, resulting in more diversified and consistent earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 83.0% of our fee-based revenues were generated in non-regulated service companies, with the remainder in our regulated insurance companies.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net investment income was $2.8 million driven by interest income on fixed income securities and dividends on equity securities as compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period, driven by lower interest rates, partially offset by growth in investments. Net realized and unrealized gains were $9.7 million, an increase of $43.3 million, driven by realized and unrealized gains on equity securities in the 2021 period, as compared to losses on equity securities and other investments in the 2020 period.

Expenses

Underwriting and fee expenses under insurance and warranty service contracts include losses and loss adjustment expenses, member benefit claims and commissions expense.

Net Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Net losses and loss adjustment expenses represent actual insurance claims paid, changes in unpaid claim reserves, net of amounts ceded and the costs of administering claims for insurance lines. Incurred claims are impacted by loss frequency, which is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity, which is based on the average size of claims. Loss occurrences in our insurance products are characterized by low severity and high frequency. Factors affecting loss frequency and loss severity include the volume of underwritten contracts, changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, economic conditions, morbidity patterns and the attitudes of claimants towards settlements, and original pricing of the product for purposes of the loss ratio in relation to loss emergence over time. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods.

Member Benefit Claims

Member benefit claims represent the costs of services and replacement devices incurred in warranty and motor club service contracts. Member benefit claims represent claims paid on behalf of contract holders directly to third-party providers for roadside assistance and for the repair or replacement of covered products. Claims can also be paid directly to contract holders as a reimbursement payment, provided supporting documentation of loss is submitted to the Company. Claims are recognized as expense when incurred.

Commission Expense

Commission expenses reflect commissions we pay retail agents, program administrators and managing general underwriters, net of ceding commissions we receive on business ceded under certain reinsurance contracts. In addition, commission expenses include premium-related taxes. Commission expenses related to each policy we write are deferred and amortized to expense in proportion to the premium earned over the policy life.

Commission expense is incurred on most product lines. The majority of commissions are retrospective commissions paid to agents, distributors and retailers selling our products, including credit insurance policies, warranty service contracts and motor club memberships. When claims increase, in most cases our distribution partners bear the risk through a reduction in their retrospective commissions. Commission rates are, in many cases, set by state regulators, such as in credit and collateral protection programs and are also impacted by market conditions and the retention levels of our distribution partners.

Operating and Other Expenses

Operating and other expenses represent the general and administrative expenses of our insurance operations including employee compensation and benefits and other expenses, including, technology costs, office rent, and professional services fees, such as legal, accounting and actuarial services.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense on our corporate revolving debt, our Notes, our preferred trust securities due June 15, 2037 (Preferred Trust Securities) and asset-based debt for our premium finance and warranty service contract financing, which is non-recourse to Fortegra.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is primarily associated with furniture, fixtures and equipment. Amortization expense is primarily associated with purchase accounting amortization including values associated with acquired customer relationships, trade names and internally developed software and technology.

Expenses - Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net losses and loss adjustment expenses were $50.3 million, member benefit claims were $16.9 million and commission expense was $88.6 million, as compared to $46.0 million, $14.9 million and $70.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increases in net losses and loss adjustment expenses of $4.3 million, or 9.3%, and member benefit claims of $2.0 million, or 13.6%, were driven by growth in our U.S. Insurance and U.S Warranty Solutions programs. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced favorable loss development of $0.04 million as compared to unfavorable loss development of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented a 1.3% impact to the underwriting ratio, primarily driven by higher than expected claims frequency by a small group of producers. Commission expense increased by $18.2 million, or 25.9%, driven by growth in revenues and an increase in retrospective commission payments, which were partially offset by lower proportional net losses and loss adjustment expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, employee compensation and benefits were $19.1 million and other expenses were $17.6 million, as compared to $17.0 million and $16.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $2.0 million, or 12.0% driven by the acquisition of Sky Auto and investments in human capital associated with our growth objectives in admitted, E&S and warranty programs. Other expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 8.7%, driven primarily by increases in premium taxes, which grew in line with written premiums, partially offset by reduced deal related expenses. Included in other expenses were $0.3 million and $2.2 million

for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to non-recurring professional fees associated with investment banking and legal expenses for our acquisitions of Sky Auto and Smart AutoCare.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense was $4.3 million as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in interest expense of $0.7 million, or 18.0%, was primarily driven by higher outstanding revolver balances and asset-based debt for our premium and warranty finance programs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense was $4.2 million, including $3.8 million of intangible amortization related to purchase accounting associated with the acquisitions of Fortegra, Smart AutoCare and Sky Auto, as compared to $2.3 million including $2.2 million of intangible amortization from purchase accounting related to Fortegra and Smart AutoCare for 2020.

Key Performance Metrics

We discuss certain key performance metrics, described below, which provide useful information about our business and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.

Gross Written Premiums and Premium Equivalents

Gross written premiums and premium equivalents represent total gross written premiums from insurance policies and warranty service contracts issued, as well as premium finance volumes during a reporting period. They represent the volume of insurance policies written or assumed and warranty service contracts issued during a specific period of time without reduction for policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs or other deductions. Gross written premiums is a volume measure commonly used in the insurance industry to compare sales performance by period. Premium equivalents are used to compare sales performance of warranty service and administrative contract volumes to gross written premiums. Investors also use these measures to compare sales growth among comparable companies, while management uses these measures to evaluate the relative performance of various sales channels.

The below table shows gross written premiums and premium equivalents by business mix for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.


($ in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,

	2021		2020
U.S. Insurance	$	338,159	$	245,969
U.S. Warranty Solutions	150,786		133,337
Europe Warranty Solutions	16,056		13,105
Total	$	505,001	$	392,411

Total gross written premiums and premium equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $505.0 million as compared to $392.4 million in 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, U.S. Insurance increased by $92.2 million, or 37.5%, driven by growth in commercial, credit, warranty and niche personal insurance lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, U.S. Warranty Solutions increased by $17.4 million, or 13.1%, driven by growth in auto and consumer goods service contracts. Europe Warranty Solutions increased by $3.0 million, or 22.5% driven by growth in auto and consumer goods warranty programs.

Fortegra has continued to expand product lines to increase gross written premiums and premium equivalents, including the acquisitions of Smart AutoCare (January 2020) and Sky Auto (December 2020) and the formation of Fortegra Specialty Insurance Company (October 2020). The growth in gross written premiums and premium equivalents, combined with higher retention in select products for March 31, 2021, has resulted in an increase of $283.5 million, or 27.4%, in unearned premiums and deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as compared to March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, unearned premiums and deferred revenues were $1,316.6 million, as compared to $1,033.1 million as of March 31, 2020.

Combined Ratio, Underwriting Ratio and Expense Ratio

Combined ratio is an operating measure, which equals the sum of the underwriting ratio and the expense ratio. Underwriting ratio is the ratio of the GAAP line items net losses and loss adjustment expenses, member benefit claims and commission

expense to earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees and ceding commissions and other revenue. Expense ratio is the ratio of the GAAP line items employee compensation and benefits and other underwriting, general and administrative expenses to earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees and ceding commissions and other revenue.

A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss. These ratios are commonly used in the insurance industry as a measure of underwriting profitability, excluding earnings on the insurance portfolio. Investors commonly use these measures to compare underwriting performance among companies separate from the performance of the investment portfolio. Management uses these measures to compare the profitability of various products we underwrite as well as profitability among programs of our various agents and sales channels.

The combined ratio was 91.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which consisted of an underwriting ratio of 74.2% and an expense ratio of 17.3%, as compared to 93.6%, 75.7% and 17.9%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the combined ratio year over year is primarily due to the shift in business mix as the growth in commercial and warranty programs benefitted the underwriting ratio, while the decrease in the expense ratio is primarily driven by the continued scalability of our technology and shared service platform.

Return on Average Equity

Return on average equity is expressed as the ratio of net income to average stockholders’ equity during the period. Management uses this ratio as a measure of the on-going performance of the totality of the Company’s operations.

Return on average equity was 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to (28.3)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, with the increase in net income and annualized return on average equity driven operationally by growth in revenues and improvements in the combined ratio, in addition to net realized and unrealized gains in the 2021 period compared to net realized and unrealized losses in the 2020 period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underwriting and Fee Revenues and Underwriting and Fee Margin - Non-GAAP(1)

In order to better explain to investors the underwriting performance of the Company’s programs and the respective retentions between the Company and its agents and reinsurance partners, we use the non-GAAP metrics – underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin. We generally manage our exposure to the risks we underwrite using both reinsurance (e.g., quota share and excess of loss) and retrospective commission agreements with our agents (e.g., commissions paid are adjusted based on the actual underlying losses incurred), which mitigate our risk. Period-over-period comparisons of revenues and expenses are often impacted by the agents and their PORC’s choice as to their risk retention appetite, specifically earned premiums, net, service and administration fees, ceding commissions, and other revenue, all components of revenue, and losses and loss adjustment expenses, member benefit claims, and commissions paid to our agents and reinsurers. Generally, when losses are incurred, the risk which is retained by our agents and reinsurers is reflected in a reduction in commissions paid.

Underwriting and fee revenues represents total revenues excluding net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses). See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of underwriting and fee revenues to total revenues in accordance with GAAP.

Underwriting and fee margin represents income before taxes excluding net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), employee compensation and benefits, other expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We deliver our products and services on a vertically integrated basis to our agents. As such, underwriting and fee margin exclude general and administrative expenses, interest income, depreciation and amortization and other corporate expenses, including income taxes, as these corporate expenses support our vertically integrated delivery model and are not specifically supporting any individual business line. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of underwriting and fee margin to total revenues in accordance with GAAP.

The below table shows underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin by business mix for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Underwriting and fee revenues were $210.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $173.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Total underwriting and fee revenues increased $36.7 million, or 21.1%, driven by growth in U.S. Insurance, U.S. Warranty Solutions and Europe Warranty Solutions. The increase in U.S. Insurance was $18.2 million, or 14.1%, driven by growth in commercial, credit and warranty insurance programs. The increase in U.S. Warranty Solutions was $12.9 million, or 32.8%, driven by growth in auto, consumer goods, and premium and warranty finance programs. Europe Warranty Solutions increased by $5.5 million, or 121.2%, driven by growth in auto and consumer goods warranty programs.

Underwriting and fee margin was $54.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $42.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Total underwriting and fee margin increased $12.1 million, or 28.8%, driven by growth across all business lines. U.S. Insurance underwriting ratio of 80.5% decreased by 0.5% driven by change in mix of business toward more profitable lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced favorable loss development of $0.04 million as compared to unfavorable loss development of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented a 1.3% impact to the underwriting ratio in the prior year, primarily driven by higher than expected claims frequency by a small group of producers. U.S. Warranty Solutions underwriting ratio of 58.1% decreased by 2.4% driven by increased fee related programs. Europe Warranty Solutions underwriting ratio of 65.5% increased by 8.5% as the rapidly growing book of business normalized.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Return on Average Equity

Adjusted net income represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting.

Adjusted return on average equity represents adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period.

Management uses both these measures for executive compensation and as a measure of the on-going performance of our operations. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity to income before taxes and adjusted return on average equity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity were $12.8 million and 17.9%, respectively, as compared to $8.7 million and 12.7%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in both of these metrics was driven by the growth in underwriting and fee revenues in addition to a 2.1 percentage point improvement in the combined ratio.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investments

Our insurance investment portfolio includes investments held in statutory insurance companies and in unregulated entities. The portfolios held in statutory insurance companies are subject to different regulatory considerations, including with respect to types of assets, concentration limits, affiliate transactions and the use of leverage. Our investment strategy is designed to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns across select asset classes, sectors and geographies while maintaining adequate liquidity to meet our claims payment obligations. As such, volatility from realized and unrealized gains and losses may impact period-over-period performance. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and loans held at fair value impact current period net income, while unrealized gains and losses on Available for Sale (AFS) securities impact AOCI.

Our net investment income includes interest and dividends, net of investment expenses, on our invested assets. We report net realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments separately from our net investment income.

Tiptree Capital

Tiptree Capital consists of our Mortgage segment, which includes the operating results of Reliance, our mortgage business, and Tiptree Capital - Other, which consists of our other non-insurance operating businesses and investments. As of March 31, 2021, Tiptree Capital - Other includes our Invesque shares, maritime transportation operations, and the mortgage operations of Luxury, which is held for sale.

Mortgage

Through our Mortgage operating subsidiary, Reliance, we originate, sell, securitize and service one-to-four-family, residential mortgage loans, comprised of conforming mortgage loans, Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), Veterans Administration (“VA”), United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and to a lesser extent, non-agency jumbo prime.

We are an approved seller/servicer for Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The Company is also an approved issuer and servicer for Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”). The Company originates residential mortgage loans through its retail distribution channel (directly to consumers), with branches in 37 states as of the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following tables present the Mortgage segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Revenues

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) include gains on sale of mortgage loans and the fair value adjustment in mortgage servicing rights. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans represent the difference between the selling price and carrying value of loans sold and are recognized upon settlement. Such gains also include the changes in fair value of loans held for sale and loan-related hedges and derivatives. We transfer the risk of loss or default to the loan purchaser, however, in some cases we are required to indemnify purchasers for losses related to non-compliance with borrowers’ creditworthiness and collateral requirements. Because of this, we recognize gains on sale net of required indemnification and premium recapture reserves. The fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights represents fair value adjustments considering estimated prepayments and other factors associated with changes in interest rates, plus actual run-off in the servicing portfolio. We report these adjustments separate from servicing income and servicing expense.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes loan origination fees, interest income, and mortgage servicing income. Loan origination fees are earned as mortgage loans are funded. Servicing fees are earned over the life of the loan. Interest income includes interest earned on loans held for sale and interest income on bank balances and short-term investments.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we funded $419.9 million of loans, compared to $312.7 million for 2020, an increase of $107.2 million, or 34.3%. The increase in origination volumes is primarily attributed to the lower interest rate environment and rising home prices in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 2020. Gain on sale margins also increased to 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, up approximately 170 basis points from 4.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $30.1 million, compared to $12.7 million for 2020, an increase of $17.4 million or 136.6%. The primary drivers of increased gains on sale were increases in origination volumes and gains on sale margins, in addition to positive fair value adjustments in our mortgage servicing rights of $3.4 million as interest rates increased from year-end 2020.

Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.5 million for 2020, an increase of $0.9 million or 26.0% driven by increased loan origination volumes and servicing fees.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits

Employee compensation and benefits includes salaries, commissions, benefits, bonuses, other incentive compensation and related taxes for employees. Commissions expense for sales staff generally varies with loan origination volumes.

Interest Expense

Interest expense represents borrowing costs under our warehouse and other credit facilities used primarily to fund loan originations. Amortization of deferred financing costs, including commitment fees, is included in interest expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is mainly associated with furniture, fixtures and equipment while amortization expense is primarily associated with a trade name and internally developed software.

Other Expenses

Other expenses include loan origination expenses, namely, leads, appraisals, credit reporting and licensing fees, general and administrative expenses, including office rent, insurance, legal, consulting and payroll processing expenses, and servicing expense.

Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, employee compensation and benefits was $15.3 million, compared to $11.5 million in 2020, an increase of $3.8 million or 33.4%. This increase was driven primarily by increased commissions on higher origination volumes, in addition to increased incentive compensation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense was $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million in 2020, a decrease of $0.1 million or 29.8%. This is due to the reduced interest rate environment decreasing our cost of funds and reduced warehouse borrowings.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, depreciation and amortization expense was $0.2 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, other expenses were $5.6 million compared to $5.2 million in 2020. The $0.4 million increase was driven by increased loan origination expenses, including marketing costs.

Income (loss) before taxes

Income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $13.1 million, compared to a loss before taxes of $1.1 million in 2020. The primary driver of the increase was the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by higher compensation and other costs associated with the improved financial performance.

Tiptree Capital - Other

Revenues

Tiptree Capital - Other earns revenues from the following sources: net interest income; revenues on our held for sale mortgage originator; realized and unrealized gains on the Company’s investment holdings (primarily Invesque); and charter revenue from vessels within our maritime transportation operations.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $37.6 million compared to negative revenues of $29.9 million for 2020. The primary driver of the change in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was unrealized gains of $13.8 million on Invesque, partially offset by the suspension of its monthly dividend payment in April 2020, and growth in mortgage gain on sale revenues in our held for sale mortgage originator. These drivers were partially offset by declines in our maritime transportation business as shipping rates on our two tankers declined from the prior year and one tanker was in dry-dock for its five year maintenance requirement for a portion of the period.

Income (loss) before taxes

The income before taxes from Tiptree Capital - Other for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $15.0 million, compared to a loss before taxes of $45.2 million in 2020. The primary driver of the increase was unrealized gains in the 2021 period compared to losses in the 2020 period on our investment in Invesque, partially offset by a decline in income before taxes in our maritime transportation business as shipping rates on our two tankers declined from the prior year and one tanker was in dry-dock for its five year maintenance requirement for a portion of the period.

Adjusted net income decreased to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $3.3 million in 2020. The key drivers of the decrease were the dividend income on our investment in Invesque being discontinued in April 2020 and declines in our maritime transportation business as shipping rates on our two tankers declined from the prior year and one tanker was in dry-dock for its five year maintenance requirement for a portion of the period.

Corporate

The following tables present a summary of corporate results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Corporate expenses include expenses of the holding company for interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, and public company and other expenses. Corporate employee compensation and benefits includes the expense of management, legal and accounting staff. Other expenses primarily consisted of audit and professional fees, insurance, office rent and other related expenses.

Employee compensation and benefits, including incentive compensation expense, was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $3.5 million for 2020, driven by an increase in employee incentive compensation. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2.6 million, up from $2.0 million in 2020, driven by a higher average outstanding balance during the 2021 periods associated with our increased borrowing in February 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding borrowing was $118.8 million, compared to $120.3 million at December 31, 2020. Other expenses of $1.8 million decreased by $0.8 million driven by non-recurring deal expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes

The total income tax expense of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the total income tax benefit of $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are reflected as components of net income (loss).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was equal to 22.2%. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0%, primarily from the impact of state taxes, partially offset by discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate was equal to 25.9%. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0%, primarily from the impact of state taxes and other discrete items.

Balance Sheet Information

Tiptree’s total assets were $3,048.6 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $2,995.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The $52.9 million increase in assets is primarily attributable to the growth in our Insurance segment.

Total stockholders’ equity was $397.4 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $373.5 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily driven by net income for three months ended March 31, 2021, partially offset by stock repurchases and dividends. As of March 31, 2021, there were 32,538,486 shares of common stock outstanding, as compared to 32,682,462 as of December 31, 2020.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

In addition to GAAP results, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin in order to better explain to investors the underwriting performance of the Company’s programs and the respective retentions between the Company and its agents and reinsurance partners. We also use the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance and as part of our resource and capital allocation process, to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and to compare relative performance among comparable companies. Adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity, Adjusted EBITDA, underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for earned premiums, net income or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Underwriting and Fee Revenues and Underwriting and Fee Margin — Non-GAAP (Insurance only)

The following tables present program specific revenue and expenses by business mix. We generally manage our exposure to the underwriting risk we assume using both reinsurance (e.g., quota share and excess of loss) and retrospective commission agreements with our partners (e.g., commissions paid are adjusted based on the actual underlying losses incurred), which mitigate our risk. Period-over-period comparisons of revenues and expenses are often impacted by the PORCs and distribution partners’ choice as to whether to retain risk, specifically service and administration fees and ceding commissions, both components of revenue, and policy and contract benefits and commissions paid to our partners and reinsurers. Generally, when losses are incurred, the risk which is retained by our partners and reinsurers is reflected in a reduction in commissions paid. In order to better explain to investors the underwriting performance of the Company’s programs and the respective retentions between the Company and its agents and reinsurance partners, we use the non-GAAP metrics underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin.

Underwriting and Fee Revenues — Non-GAAP

We define underwriting and fee revenues as total revenues from our Insurance segment excluding net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses). Underwriting and fee revenues represents revenues generated by our underwriting and fee-based operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. We

use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. Underwriting and fee revenues should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting and fee revenues differently.

Less: Net realized and unrealized gains (losses)	(9,672)		33,601
Underwriting and fee revenues	$	210,124	$	173,453

Underwriting and Fee Margin — Non-GAAP

We define underwriting and fee margin as income before taxes from our Insurance segment, excluding net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), employee compensation and benefits, other expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Underwriting and fee margin represents the underwriting performance of our underwriting and fee-based programs. As such, underwriting and fee margin excludes general administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other corporate expenses as those expenses support the vertically integrated business model and not any individual component of our business mix. We use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into the specific performance of our underlying underwriting and fee program. Underwriting and fee income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting and fee margin differently.

Plus: Other expenses	17,632		16,220
Underwriting and fee margin	$	54,305	$	42,176

Adjusted Net Income — Non-GAAP

We define adjusted net income as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. We use adjusted net income as an internal operating performance measure in the management of business as part of our capital allocation process. We believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance between periods and for comparison among companies. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

We present adjustments for amortization associated with acquired intangible assets. The intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting in connection with Tiptree’s acquisition of FFC in 2014, Defend in 2019, and Smart AutoCare and Sky Auto in 2020. The intangible assets acquired contribute to overall revenue generation, and the respective purchase accounting adjustments will continue to occur in future periods until such intangible assets are fully amortized in accordance with the respective amortization periods required by GAAP.

Adjusted Return on Average Equity — Non-GAAP

We define adjusted return on average equity as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. See “—Adjusted Net Income—Non-GAAP” above.

We use adjusted return on average equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted return on average equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on average equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on average equity differently.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-GAAP

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company plus corporate interest expense, plus income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization expense, less the effects of purchase accounting, plus non-cash fair value adjustments, plus significant non-recurring expenses, and plus unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities reported in other comprehensive income. Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income.

Notes
(1)			Corporate debt interest expense includes interest expense from secured corporate credit agreements, junior subordinated notes and preferred trust securities. Interest expense associated with asset-specific debt is not added-back for Adjusted EBITDA.
(2)			Represents total depreciation and amortization expense less purchase accounting amortization related adjustments at our insurance companies. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated.

Book Value per share - Non-GAAP

Management believes the use of this financial measure provides supplemental information useful to investors as book value is frequently used by the financial community to analyze company growth on a relative per share basis. The following table provides a reconciliation between total stockholders’ equity and total shares outstanding, net of treasury shares.




($ in thousands, except per share information)	As of March 31,
	2021		2020
Total stockholders’ equity	$	397,399	$	344,336
Less: Non-controlling interests	18,956		10,483
Total stockholders’ equity, net of non-controlling interests	$	378,443	$	333,853

Total common shares outstanding	32,538		34,302

Book value per share	$	11.63	$	9.73

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and other liquid investments and distributions from operating subsidiaries, including income from our investment portfolio and sales of assets and investments. We intend to use our cash resources to continue to fund our operations and grow our businesses. We may seek additional sources of cash to fund acquisitions or investments. These additional sources of cash may take the form of debt or equity and may be at the parent, subsidiary or asset level. We are a holding company and our liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on the Fortress credit facility, compensation, professional fees, office rent and insurance costs. In February 2020, we refinanced our existing facility with Fortress, extending the maturity to February 2025 and increasing the principal amount to $125 million, generating approximately $53 million of cash after repaying the existing facility and expenses. A portion of those funds were invested in Insurance to fund our warranty business, with the remainder used to provide additional liquidity.

Our subsidiaries’ ability to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make cash distributions will be subject to numerous business and other factors, including restrictions contained in our subsidiaries’ financing agreements, regulatory restrictions, availability of sufficient funds at such subsidiaries, general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and other factors such as target capital ratios and ratio levels anticipated by rating agencies to maintain or improve current ratings. We expect our cash and cash equivalents and distributions from operating subsidiaries, our subsidiaries’ access to financing, and sales of investments to be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

As of March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, were $123.9 million, compared to $136.9 million at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $13.0 million primarily as a result of additional invested assets at Fortegra.

Our mortgage business relies on short term uncommitted sources of financing as a part of their normal course of operations. To date, we have been able to obtain and renew uncommitted warehouse credit facilities. If we were not able to obtain financing, then we may need to draw on other sources of liquidity to fund our mortgage business. See Note (11) Debt, net in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information regarding our mortgage warehouse borrowings.

We believe that our cash flow from operations will provide us with sufficient capital to continue to grow our business and fund interest on the outstanding debt, capital expenditures and other general corporate needs over the next several years. As we continue to expand our business, including by any acquisitions we may make, we may, in the future, require additional working capital for increased costs.

For purposes of determining enterprise value and Adjusted EBITDA, we consider corporate credit agreements and preferred trust securities, which we refer to as corporate debt, as corporate financing and associated interest expense is added back. The below table outlines this amount by debt outstanding and interest expense at the insurance company and corporate level.

Corporate Debt


($ in thousands)	Corporate Debt Outstanding as of March 31,				Interest Expense for the three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020			2021		2020
Insurance	$	180,380	$	208,240		$	3,500	$	3,272
Corporate	118,750		125,000			2,563		1,994
Total	$	299,130	$	333,240		$	6,063	$	5,266

As of March 31, 2021, our $118.8 million credit facility with Fortress carries a rate of LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.0%), plus a margin of 6.75% per annum. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of approximately $1.56 million. See Note (11) Debt, net in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for details.

On August 4, 2020, Fortegra entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Fortegra and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LOTS Intermediate Co., as borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto, certain of Fortegra’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent and issuing lender (the “Fortegra Credit Agreement”).

Consolidated Comparison of Cash Flows


($ in thousands)	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Total cash provided by (used in):	2021		2020
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	27,330	$	25,212

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In 2021, the primary sources of cash from operating activities included consolidated net income (excluding unrealized gains and losses), proceeds from mortgage loans outpacing originations and growth in unearned premiums and net deferred revenues, partially offset by increases in deferred acquisition costs and other assets in addition to decreases in other liabilities and accrued expenses and reinsurance payables.

Cash provided by operating activities was $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In 2020, the primary sources of cash from operating activities included proceeds from mortgage loans outpacing originations, offset by increases

in notes and accounts receivable and decreases in unearned premiums from our insurance operations.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $42.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In 2021, the primary use of cash from investing activities was the purchase of investments outpacing proceeds from the sales of investments in our insurance investment portfolio, and the issuance of notes receivable outpacing proceeds.

Cash used in investing activities was $47.3 million for the year ended three months ended March 31, 2020. In 2020, the primary use of cash from investing activities was the purchase of investments outpacing proceeds from the sales of investments in our insurance investment portfolio and the issuance of notes receivables outpacing proceeds. This was partially offset by proceeds received in connection with the acquisition of Smart AutoCare.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In 2021, the primary use of cash from financing activities was the repurchase of $2.5 million of the Company’s common stock and the payment of $1.3 million in dividends, which was partially offset by proceeds from borrowings in excess of principal repayments in our mortgage operations.

Cash provided by financing activities was $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In 2020, our new borrowings from various debt arrangements exceeded our principal paydowns, primarily due to increased borrowings on our secured term credit agreement and our secured corporate revolving credit agreement in our insurance operations, offset by decreased borrowings on our mortgage warehouse facilities. Net cash provided by increased borrowings under our debt facilities was offset by the repurchase of $3.9 million of the Company’s common stock and the payment of $1.4 million in dividends.
