Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Operations
Employers Holdings, Inc. (EHI) is a Nevada holding company. Through its wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, Employers Insurance Company of Nevada (EICN), Employers Compensation Insurance Company (ECIC), Employers Preferred Insurance Company (EPIC), Employers Assurance Company (EAC), and Cerity Insurance Company (CIC), EHI is engaged in the commercial property and casualty insurance industry, specializing in workers’ compensation products and services. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the “Company” refer to EHI, together with its subsidiaries.
In 1999, the Nevada State Industrial Insurance System (the Fund) entered into a retroactive 100% quota share reinsurance agreement (the LPT Agreement) through a loss portfolio transfer transaction with third party reinsurers. The LPT Agreement commenced on June 30, 1999 and will remain in effect until: (i) all claims under the covered policies have closed; (ii) the LPT Agreement is commuted or terminated, upon the mutual agreement of the parties; or (iii) the reinsurers’ aggregate maximum limit of liability is exhausted, whichever occurs first. The LPT Agreement does not provide for any additional termination terms. On January 1, 2000, EICN assumed all of the assets, liabilities and operations of the Fund, including the Fund’s rights and obligations associated with the LPT Agreement (See Note 9).
The Company accounts for the LPT Agreement as retroactive reinsurance. Upon entry into the LPT Agreement, an initial deferred reinsurance gain (the Deferred Gain) was recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is entitled to receive a contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. The contingent profit commission is estimated based on both actual paid results to date and projections of expected paid losses under the LPT Agreement and is recorded as an asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year. These financial statements have been prepared consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Annual Report).
The Company operates through two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity . Each of the segments represents a separate and distinct distribution channel through which the Company conducts insurance business. This presentation allows the reader, as well as the Company's chief operating decision makers, to objectively analyze the business originated through each of these channels. Detailed financial information about the Company's operating segments is presented in Note 14.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant areas that require management judgment are the estimate of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), evaluation of reinsurance recoverables, recognition of premium revenue, recoverability of deferred income taxes, and valuation of investments.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. New Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . This update provides optional transition guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with optional expedients and exceptions related to the application of US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Companies can apply this ASU at any time, but early adoption is only available through December 31, 2022 when this ASU becomes effective. The Company has and will continue to evaluate the impact of LIBOR on its existing contracts and investments, but does not expect that this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

3. Valuation of Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
The carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at fair value were as follows:
September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value
(in millions)
Financial assets
Total investments at fair value $ 2,417.3 $ 2,417.3 $ 2,692.0 $ 2,692.0
Cash and cash equivalents 148.1 148.1 75.1 75.1
Restricted cash and cash equivalents 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Level inputs are defined as follows:
• Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
• Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable that reflect management’s best estimate of what willing market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
The Company uses third party pricing services to assist with its investment accounting function. The ultimate pricing source varies depending on the investment security and pricing service used, but investment securities valued on the basis of observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) are generally assigned values on the basis of actual transactions. Securities valued on the basis of pricing models with significant unobservable inputs or non-binding broker quotes are classified as Level 3. The Company performs quarterly analyses on the prices it receives from third parties to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value, including confirming the fair values of these securities through observable market prices using an alternative pricing source, as it is ultimately management’s responsibility to ensure that the fair values reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are appropriate. If differences are noted in these analyses, the Company may obtain additional information from other pricing services to validate the quoted price.
The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid prices, when available, as they represent what a third-party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm’s length transaction.
For securities not actively traded, third party pricing services may use quoted market prices of similar instruments or discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating inputs that are currently observable in the markets for similar securities. Inputs that are often used in the valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, broker quotes, benchmark yields, credit spreads, default rates, and prepayment speed assumptions. There were no material adjustments to the valuation methodology utilized by third party pricing services as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
These methods of valuation only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information to produce a valuation. If objectively verifiable information is not available, the Company would be required to produce an estimate of fair value using some of the same methodologies, making assumptions for market-based inputs that are unavailable.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company held $ 16.1 million of fixed maturity securities at fair value that were designated Level 3. These private placement securities, which were acquired during the second quarter of 2022, were designated as Level 3 securities d ue to the limited amount of observable market information available.

Financial Instruments Carried at Cost
EICN, ECIC, EPIC, and EAC are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). Members are required to purchase stock in the FHLB in addition to maintaining collateral deposits that back any funds advanced. The Company’s investment in FHLB stock is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, as purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer. FHLB stock is considered a restricted security and is periodically evaluated by the Company for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value.
Financial Instruments Carried at Net Asset Value
The Company has investments in private equity limited partnership interests that are included in Other invested assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at net asset value (NAV) and therefore are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The Company initially estimates the value of these investments using the transaction price. In subsequent periods, the Company measures these investments using NAV per share provided quarterly by the general partner, based on financial statements that are audited annually. These investments are generally not redeemable by the investees and cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. These investments have fund terms of 3 to 12 years, subject to two or three one-year extensions at the general partner’s discretion. The Company will receive distributions of proceeds from dividends and interest from fund investments, as well as from the disposition of a fund investment, or portion thereof. The Company expects these distributions from time-to-time during the full course of the fund term. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had unfunded commitments to these private equity limited partnerships totaling $ 57.3 million.
Additionally, certain cash equivalents, principally money market securities, are measured using NAV, which approximates fair value.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an allowance for current expected credit losses (CECL) on AFS debt securities of $ 4.7 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively (See Note 5). Those fixed maturity securities whose total fair value was less than amortized cost at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were those in which the Company had no intent, need or requirement to sell at an amount less than their amortized cost.
Realized gains and losses on investments include the gain or loss on a security at the time of sale compared to its original or adjusted cost (equity securities and other invested assets) or amortized cost (fixed maturity securities). Realized losses on fixed maturity securities are also recognized when securities are written down as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment or for changes in the expected credit loss allowance.

The Company is required by various state laws and regulations to support, through securities on deposit or otherwise, its outstanding loss reserves in certain states in which it does business. These laws and regulations govern not only the amount but also the types of securities that are eligible for deposit. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities having a
16

fair value of $ 690.1 million and $ 861.4 million, respectively, were on deposit. Additionally, standby letters of credit from the FHLB were in place in lieu of $ 70.0 million of securities on deposit as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (See Note 10).
Certain reinsurance contracts require the Company’s funds to be held in trust for the benefit of the ceding reinsurer to secure the outstanding liabilities assumed by the Company. The fair value of fixed maturity securities and restricted cash and cash equivalents held in trust for the benefit of ceding reinsurers at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 2.7 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively.
5. Current Expected Credit Losses
Premiums Receivable
Premiums receivable balances are all due within one year or less. The Company currently determines the allowance for premiums receivable based on an internal aging schedule using collectability and historical payment patterns, as well as current and expected future market conditions to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Historical payment patterns and future market conditions provide the basis for the estimation along with similar risk characteristics and the Company's business strategy, which have not changed significantly over time. Changes in the allowance for CECL are recorded through underwriting and general and administrative expenses.
The table below shows the changes in CECL on premiums receivable.

Ending balance of CECL on premiums receivable $ 11.0 $ 10.0 $ 11.0 $ 10.0
Reinsurance Recoverable
In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes reinsurance recoverables and contingent commission receivables, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts, and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. Historically, the Company has not experienced a credit loss from reinsurance transactions. In assessing future default, the Company evaluated the allowance for CECL under the ratings-based method using the A.M. Best Average Cumulative Net Impairment Rates. Reinsurer ratings are also assessed through this process. Changes in CECL are recorded through underwriting and general and administrative expenses.
The table below shows the changes in CECL on reinsurance recoverables.

Investments
The Company assesses all AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position for CECL. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to its fair value. For AFS debt securities that do not meet either criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors.
17

In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. Any impairment that has not been recorded through CECL is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in CECL are recorded through realized capital losses.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company established an aggregate allowance for CECL in the amount of $ 4.7 million. For the Company’s investments in fixed-income debt securities, the allowance for CECL was determined by: (i) observing the credit characteristics of those debt securities that may have demonstrated a credit loss as of that date and by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to its amortized cost basis; and (ii) observing the credit characteristics of those debt securities that are expected to demonstrate a credit loss in the future by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to its amortized cost basis. The expected present value of cash flows are calculated using scenario based credit loss models derived from the discounted cash flows under the Comprehensive Capital Analysis Review (CCAR) framework, which is adopted by the Federal Reserve.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell any of its AFS debt securities in which its amortized cost exceeded its fair value.
Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $ 19.7 million at September 30, 2022 and is excluded from the estimate of CECL based on historically timely payments.

Internally developed software costs of $ 0.2 million and $ 1.0 million were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $ 2.3 million in internally developed software costs were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company’s capitalized costs associated with cloud computing arrangements totaled $ 46.9 million and $ 43.9 million, which were comprised of service contract fees and implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total amortization for hosting arrangements were $ 4.2 million and $ 12.1 million
18

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $ 14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the transaction. Operating leases for offices are presented as a right-of-use asset (ROU asset) and lease liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Financing leases for automobiles are included in property and equipment and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease transaction. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses collateralized incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of lease payments. The ROU assets also include lease payments less any lease incentives within a lease agreement. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s operating leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 5 years, with options to extend up to 10 years with no termination provision. The Company’s finance leases have an option to terminate after 1 year.

development recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related primarily to accident years 2017 and prior, partially offset by $ 8.0 million of unfavorable development relating to two catastrophic non-COVID claims that occurred in accident year 2020.
9. LPT Agreement
The Company is party to the LPT Agreement under which $ 1.5 billion in liabilities for losses and LAE related to claims incurred by the Fund prior to July 1, 1995 were reinsured for consideration of $ 775.0 million. The LPT Agreement provides coverage up to $ 2.0 billion. The Company records its estimate of contingent profit commission in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as Contingent commission receivable–LPT Agreement and a corresponding liability is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in Deferred reinsurance gain–LPT Agreement. The Deferred Gain is being amortized using the recovery method. Amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries over the life of the LPT Agreement, except for the contingent profit commission, which is amortized through June 30, 2024, the date through which the Company is entitled to receive a contingent profit commission under the LPT Agreement. The amortization is recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Any adjustments to the Deferred Gain are recorded in losses and LAE incurred in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company amortized $ 2.1 million of the Deferred Gain for each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $ 6.3 million and $ 6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The estimated remaining liabilities subject to the LPT Agreement were $ 313.5 million and $ 328.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Losses and LAE paid with respect to the LPT Agreement totaled $ 854.0 million and $ 838.8 million from inception through September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
10. FHLB Advances, Notes Payable and Other Financing Arrangements
On December 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $ 75.0 million three-year revolving credit facility and is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (Employers Group, Inc. and Cerity Group, Inc.). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company also has an option to request an increase of the credit available under the facility up to a maximum facility amount of $ 125.0 million, subject to the consent of lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are generally based on a base rate plus a specified margin, ranging from 0.25 % to 1.25 %, or the Eurodollar rate (which will convert to an alternative reference rate once LIBOR is discontinued), plus a specified margin, ranging from 1.25 % to 2.25 %. In addition, the Company will pay a fee on each lender’s commitment, ranging from 0.20 % to 0.50 %, irrespective of usage. The applicable margin and the amount of such commitment fee vary based upon the financial strength rating of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries as most recently announced by A.M. Best or the Company’s debt to total capitalization ratio if such financial strength rating is not available. Interest paid and fees incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to maintain: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth of no less than 70% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020, plus 50% of the Company’s aggregate net income thereafter ; and (ii) a debt to total capitalization ratio of no more than 35%, in each case as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement . At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The Company incurred $ 0.7 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement, which are being amortized over the three-year life of the facility in Interest and Financing expenses. The annual commitment and administrative fee on the unused portion of the facility is 0.30 %, for a maximum of $ 225,000 , and an annual agency fee of $ 25,000 . Advances can be repaid at any time without prepayment penalties or additional fees. The Company borrowed and subsequently repaid $ 10.0 million under the credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.
Other financing arrangements are comprised of the following:
EICN, ECIC, EPIC, and EAC are members of the FHLB. Membership allows the insurance subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be used to support and enhance liquidity management. The amount of advances that may be taken is dependent on statutory admitted assets on a per company basis.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company's insurance subsidiaries had received advances of $ 182.5 million under the FHLB Standard Credit Program (the Standard Credit Program) as part of its leveraged investment strategy. The proceeds from these advances were used to purchase an equivalent amount of high-quality collateralized loan obligation securities. The annual
21

interest rate on these advances is adjusted daily per the Secure Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR). As of September 30, 2022, the Company's weighted average annual interest rate on these advances was 1.78 %. Interest paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $ 1.0 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively. These advances can be repaid at any time without penalty and are collateralized by eligible investment securities.
During the second quarter of 2020, the FHLB announced its Zero Interest Recovery Advance program (the Recovery Advance Program). The Recovery Advance Program is a zero percent interest, six-month or one-year credit product that members can use to provide immediate relief to property owners, businesses, and other customers from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member was allocated up to $ 10.0 million in advances under the Recovery Advance Program.
On May 11, 2020, the Company's insurance subsidiaries received a total of $ 35.0 million of advances from the FHLB under the Recovery Advance Program. These advances were secured by collateral previously pledged to the FHLB by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries in support of their existing collateralized advance facility, which has been reduced by the amount of these outstanding advances. The Company repaid $ 15.0 million of its advances on November 4, 2020, $ 5.0 million on March 31, 2021, and the remaining $ 15.0 million on May 4, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding advances under the Recovery Advance Program.
FHLB membership also allows the Company’s insurance subsidiaries access to standby letters of credit (Letter of Credit Agreements). On January 26, 2021, EPIC chose to amend its existing Letter of Credit Agreement to decrease its credit amount to $ 10.0 million. On August 13, 2021, EAC and ECIC chose to amend their existing Letter of Credit Agreements to decrease their respective credit amounts to $ 25.0 million and $ 35.0 million. The amended Letter of Credit Agreements will expire on March 31, 2023, and will remain evergreen with automatic one-year extensions unless the FHLB notifies the beneficiary at least 60 days prior to the then applicable expiration date of its election not to renew. The Letter of Credit Agreements may only be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, insurance deposit requirements with the State of California and are fully secured with eligible collateral at all times. The Letter of Credit Agreements are subject to annual maintenance charges and a fee of 15 basis points on issued amounts. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, letters of credit totaling $ 70.0 million, were issued in lieu of securities on deposit with the State of California under these Letter of Credit Agreements.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investment securities having a fair value of $ 305.3 million and $ 261.0 million, respectively, were pledged to the FHLB by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries in support of the collateralized advance facility and the Letter of Credit Agreements.

12. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company awarded restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) to certain employees and non-employee Directors of the Company as follows:

The RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, including but not limited to: death, disability, retirement, or in connection with a change of control of the Company.
(2) The PSUs awarded in March 2022 were awarded to certain employees of the Company and have a performance period of two years followed by an additional one year vesting period. The PSU awards are subject to certain performance goals with payouts that range from 0 % to 250 % of the target awards. The value shown in the table represents the aggregate number of PSUs awarded at the target level.
(3) The RSUs awarded in May 2022 were awarded to non-employee directors of the Company and vest in full on May 26, 2023.
Employees who were awarded RSUs and PSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents for eligible awards, payable in cash, when and if, the underlying award vests and becomes payable. If the underlying award does not vest or is forfeited, dividend equivalents with respect to the underlying award fail to become payable and are forfeited.
Stock options exercised totaled 41,665 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 48,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 48,051 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 23,500 stock options, 261,398 RSUs, and 179,230 PSUs (based on target number awarded) outstanding.
13. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive impact of all common stock equivalents on earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share includes common shares assumed issued under the “treasury stock method,” which reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding RSUs and PSUs vested and stock options were to be exercised.
Outstanding RSUs and PSUs awarded to employees are entitled to receive dividend equivalents when and if, the underlying award vests or becomes payable. Therefore, these awards are not considered participating securities for the purposes of determining earnings per share.

14. Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct distribution channel through which the Company conducts insurance business. The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows:
The Employers segment represents the traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name (Employers) through its agents, including business originated from the Company's strategic partnerships and alliances.
The Cerity segment represents the business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business.
Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT agreement, and legacy business assumed and ceded by CIC. These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment.
The Company has determined that it is not practicable to report identifiable assets by segment since certain assets are used interchangeably among the segments.

Entity-Wide Disclosures
The Company operates solely within the U.S. and does not have revenue from transactions with a single policyholder accounting for 10 % or more of its revenues. In-force premiums represent the estimated annual premium on all policies that are active and in-force on such date. More specifically, in-force premiums include policy endorsements but exclude estimated final audit premiums. Our company focuses on in-force premium because it represents premium that is available for renewal in the
26

future. The following table shows the Company's in-force premiums and number of policies in-force for each of our largest states and all other states combined for the periods presented:

Overview
We are a Nevada holding company. Through our insurance subsidiaries, we provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage to select, small businesses primarily in low to medium hazard industries. Workers’ compensation insurance is provided under a statutory system wherein most employers are required to provide coverage for their employees’ medical, disability, vocational rehabilitation, and/or death benefit costs for work-related injuries or illnesses. We provide workers’ compensation insurance throughout the United States, with a concentration in California, where 45% of our in-force premiums are generated. Our revenues are primarily comprised of net premiums earned, net investment income, and net realized and unrealized gains on investments.
We target small businesses, as we believe that this market is traditionally characterized by more attractive pricing, and stronger persistency when compared to the U.S. workers’ compensation insurance industry in general. We believe we are able to price our policies at levels that are competitive and profitable over the long-term given our expertise in underwriting and claims handling in this market segment. Our underwriting approach is to consistently underwrite small business accounts at appropriate and competitive prices without sacrificing long-term profitability and stability for short-term top-line revenue growth.
Our strategy is to pursue profitable growth opportunities across market cycles and maximize total investment returns within the constraints of prudent portfolio management. We pursue profitable growth opportunities by focusing on disciplined underwriting and claims management, utilizing medical provider networks designed to produce superior medical and indemnity outcomes, establishing and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with independent insurance agencies, and developing important alternative distribution channels. We believe that developing and implementing new technologies and capabilities will fundamentally transform and enhance the digital experience of our workforce, customers, policyholders and agents,
27

including: (i) continued investments in new technology, data analytics, and process improvement capabilities focused on improving the agent experience and enhancing agent efficiency; and (ii) the further development of digital insurance solutions, including direct-to-customer workers’ compensation coverage and developing collaborations with strategic digital partners. We also continue to execute a number of ongoing business initiatives, including: achieving internal and customer-facing business process excellence; diversifying our risk exposure across geographic markets and economic sectors; utilizing a multi-company pricing platform and territory-specific pricing; and thoughtfully offering new classes of business that are complementary to our small business, low-hazard business model.
The insurance industry is highly competitive, and there is significant competition in the national workers’ compensation industry that is based on price and quality of services. We compete with other specialty workers’ compensation carriers, state agencies, multi-line insurance companies, professional employer organizations, self-insurance funds, and state insurance pools.
The effects of supply chain interruptions, challenges with the labor market, inflationary pressures, geo-political conditions, overall general economic instability and the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to cause disruptions in business activity. All states, including California, where we generated 45% of our in-force premiums as of September 30, 2022, have experienced adverse economic impacts. Certain classes of business that we insure, especially those related to the restaurant and hospitality industries, continue to be affected by these challenges.
Nonetheless, we closed another quarter with a record number of policies in-force. Our year-over-year new and renewal business premiums have increased, in addition to audit premium increases, which are driving our premium growth. As labor market shortages improve and wage inflation continues, we expect that rising payrolls will continue to bring further improvement to our top line.
We continually review and adjust to changes in our policyholders' payrolls, economic conditions, and seasonality, as experience develops or new information becomes known. Any such adjustments are included in our current operations and are made periodically through mid-term endorsements and/or premium audits. We increased our final audit premium accruals by an additional $9.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as our payroll exposure increased with the labor market strengthening and rising wages.
Recent increases in market interest rates have negatively impacted the fair value of our fixed maturity investments through the first nine months of 2022. In addition, economic and market disruptions caused by inflationary pressures and geo-political conditions have negatively impacted the fair value of our equity securities during that period. The negative impacts to our investment portfolio experienced thus far in 2022 have consisted primarily of unrealized investment losses. Conversely, the recent increases in market interest rates have favorably impacted our net investment income throughout the first nine months of 2022.
While we have no international operations, the geo-political uncertainties with the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict have indirectly impacted the value of our investment portfolio. Contributing factors include supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and interest rate and general market volatility.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results
Gross Premiums Written
Gross premiums written were $188.6 million and $540.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $152.3 million and $447.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. The year-over-year changes were primarily related to our Employers segment. See "—Summary of Financial Results by Segment —Employers".
Net Premiums Written
Net premiums written are gross premiums written less reinsurance premiums ceded.
Net Premiums Earned
Net premiums earned are primarily a function of the amount and timing of net premiums previously written.
Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments
We invest in fixed maturity securities, equity securities, other invested assets, short-term investments, and cash equivalents. Net investment income includes interest and dividends earned on our invested assets and amortization of premiums and discounts
29

on our fixed maturity securities, less bank service charges and custodial and portfolio management fees. We have established a high quality/short duration bias in our investment portfolio.
Net investment income increased 28.8% and 14.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021. The increases were primarily due to higher bond yields and higher invested balances of fixed maturity securities and cash and cash equivalents, as measured by amortized cost.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments are reported separately from our net investment income. Realized gains and losses on investments include the gain or loss on a security at the time of sale compared to its original or adjusted cost (equity securities) or amortized cost (fixed maturity securities). Realized losses are also recognized for changes in our CECL allowance or when securities are written down as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment. Changes in fair value of equity securities and other invested assets are also included in Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments were $1.9 million and $(65.5) million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.7 million and $29.6 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. The net realized and unrealized gains on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included $(3.1) million and $1.9 million of net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on equity securities and other investments, respectively, and $5.0 million and $0.8 million of net realized gains on fixed maturity securities, respectively. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included $(62.1) million and $25.9 million of net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on equity securities and other investments, respectively, and $(3.4) million and $3.7 million of net realized (losses) gains on fixed maturity securities, respectively.
The unrealized investment gains and losses we experienced on our equity and fixed maturity securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily the result of significant volatility in financial markets resulting from increasing inflationary concerns, rising market interest rates and recent world events. The realized investment gains and losses on our fixed maturity securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a $5.2 million net decrease and a $4.5 million net increase in our allowance for CECL, respectively.
The unrealized investment gains and losses on our equity securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were largely consistent with the performance of U.S. equity markets. The realized investment gains and losses on our fixed maturity securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included a $0.6 million net decrease in our allowance for CECL.
Additional information regarding our Investments is set forth under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investments.”
Other Income
Other income consists of net gains and losses on fixed assets, non-investment interest, installment fee revenue, and other miscellaneous income. Beginning in 2022, installment fee revenue is included within our net investment income.
Losses and LAE
Losses and LAE represents our largest expense item and includes claim payments made, amortization of the Deferred Gain, LPT Reserve Adjustments, LPT Contingent Commission Adjustments, estimates for future claim payments and changes in those estimates for current and prior periods, and costs associated with investigating, defending, and adjusting claims. The quality of our financial reporting depends in large part on accurately predicting our losses and LAE, which are inherently uncertain as they are estimates of the ultimate cost of individual claims based on actuarial estimation techniques.
Our current accident year loss estimate continues to consider overall declines in the on-leveled frequency of compensable indemnity claims. Total claims costs have also been reduced by cost savings associated with increased claims settlement activity that has continued into the first nine months of 2022. We believe that our current accident year loss estimate is adequate; however, ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for many years. See "—Summary of Financial Results by Segment —Employers".
Commission Expenses
Commission expenses include direct commissions to our agents and brokers, including our partnerships and alliances, for the premiums that they produce for us, as well as agency incentive payments, other marketing costs, and fees. See "—Summary of Financial Results by Segment —Employers".
Underwriting and General and Administrative Expenses
Underwriting expenses represent those costs that we incur to underwrite and maintain the insurance policies we issue, excluding commissions. Direct underwriting expenses, such as premium taxes, policyholder dividends, and those expenses that vary directly with the production of new or renewal business, are recognized as the associated premiums are earned. Indirect
30

underwriting expenses, such as the operating expenses of each of the Company's subsidiaries, do not vary directly with the production of new or renewal business and are recognized as incurred.
General and administrative expenses of the holding company are excluded in determining the underwriting expense ratios of our reportable segments.
Interest and Financing Expenses
Interest and financing expenses include fees and interest associated with the Credit Agreement and the FHLB Advances, FHLB Letter of Credit Agreement fees, finance lease interest, and other financing fees.
Other Expenses
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded charges of $0.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of employee severance costs resulting from a 2021 reduction-in-force. This action was taken to better align our expenses with our revenues. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we wrote off $1.0 million of previously capitalized costs relating to information technologies identified as no longer being utilized. This charge was the result of our continual evaluation of ongoing technology initiatives.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense (benefit) was $4.7 million and $(1.4) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $3.6 million and $14.1 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 19.7% and the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were 19.4% and 17.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was not meaningful. The effective rates during each of the periods presented included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, and deferred gain amortization.

Gross Premiums Written
Gross premiums written were $187.1 million and $536.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $152.0 million and $446.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. The growth in Employers' premiums written throughout 2022 is the result of higher new and renewal business premiums and final audit premiums. The growth in new business premiums we are currently experiencing is the result of increases in new business submissions, quotes and binds in the majority of the states in which we operate, which is being largely driven by a recent expansion in the classes of business that Employers offers. We also increased our final audit premium accruals by an additional $9.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as our payroll exposure increased with the labor market strengthening and rising wages. In addition, our retention rate has remained strong throughout the first nine months of 2022.
Net premiums written were $185.3 million and $531.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $149.5 million and $441.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. Reinsurance premiums ceded were $1.8 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.5 million and $5.0 million for the corresponding periods of 2021.
Net Premiums Earned
Net premiums earned were $177.9 million and $492.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $146.9 million and $417.6 million for the corresponding periods of 2021.
In-force premiums represent the estimated annual premium on all policies that are active and in-force on such date. More specifically, in-force premiums include policy endorsements but exclude estimated final audit premiums. We focus on in-force premium because it represents premium that is available for renewal in the future. The following table shows Employers' in-force premiums and number of policies in-force for each of our largest states and all other states combined for the periods presented:

Our alternative distribution channels generated $183.8 million and $156.7 million, or 30.5% and 27.7%, of our in-force premiums as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These alternative distribution channels utilize partnerships and alliances with entities such as payroll companies, health care and property and casualty insurers, and digital agents for which we provide workers' compensation insurance coverage. These relationships also allow us to access new customers that we may not have access to through our independent agent distribution channel.

Loss and LAE Ratio. We analyze our loss and LAE ratios on both a calendar year and accident year basis.
The calendar year loss and LAE ratio is calculated by dividing the losses and LAE recorded during the calendar year, regardless of when the underlying insured event occurred, by the net premiums earned during that calendar year. The calendar year loss and LAE ratio includes changes made during the calendar year in reserves for losses and LAE established for insured events occurring in the current and prior years. The calendar year loss and LAE ratio for a particular year will not change in future periods.
The accident year loss and LAE ratio is calculated by dividing cumulative losses and LAE for reported events that occurred during a particular year by the net premiums earned for that year. The accident year loss and LAE ratio for a particular year can decrease or increase when recalculated in subsequent periods as the reserves established for insured events occurring during that year develop favorably or unfavorably. The accident year loss and LAE ratio is based on our statutory financial statements and is not derived from our GAAP financial information.
We analyze our calendar year loss and LAE ratio to measure our profitability in a particular year and to evaluate the adequacy of our premium rates charged in a particular year to cover expected losses and LAE from all periods, including development (whether favorable or unfavorable) of reserves established in prior periods. In contrast, we analyze our accident year loss and LAE ratios to evaluate our underwriting performance and the adequacy of the premium rates we charged in a particular year in relation to ultimate losses and LAE from insured events occurring during that year. The loss and LAE ratios provided in this report are on a calendar year basis, except where they are expressly identified as accident year loss and LAE ratios.
The table below reflects prior accident year loss and LAE reserve adjustments and the impact to loss ratio.
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
(dollars in millions)
Losses and LAE $ 113.8 $ 93.1 $ 304.7 $ 250.3
Prior accident year favorable development, net 0.3 0.1 10.3 15.6
Current accident year losses and LAE $ 114.1 $ 93.2 $ 315.0 $ 265.9
Current accident year loss and LAE ratio 64.1 % 63.4 % 64.0 % 63.7 %
The increase in our total losses and LAE during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021, was primarily due to higher earned premium and a higher current accident year estimate. There was no prior loss reserve development recognized on our voluntary business during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, but $0.3 million and $0.1 million of net favorable development was recognized on our assigned risk business during those periods, respectively.
The increase in our total losses and LAE during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021, was primarily due to higher earned premium, a higher current accident year estimate and less net favorable development recognized during the current year. Favorable prior loss reserve development totaled $10.3 million and $15.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which included $9.6 million and $15.0 million of net favorable development on our voluntary business, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.6 million of net favorable development on our assigned risk business, respectively.
Favorable prior year loss development on our voluntary business during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to observed favorable paid loss cost trends related primarily to accident years 2017 and prior. Favorable prior year loss development on our voluntary business during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the result of observed favorable paid loss cost trends related primarily to accident years 2017 and prior, partially offset by $8.0 million of unfavorable development relating to two catastrophic non-COVID claims that occurred in accident year 2020.
Our current accident year loss and LAE ratio was 64.1% and 64.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 63.4% and 63.7% for the corresponding periods of 2021. Our current accident year ratio in 2022 was largely consistent with our current accident year ratio in 2021. Our current accident year loss and LAE ratio continues to reflect the impact of our key business initiatives: an emphasis on the accelerated settlement of open claims; diversifying our risk exposure across geographic markets; and leveraging data-driven strategies to target, underwrite, and price profitable classes of business across all of our markets.
Commission Expense Ratio. The commission expense ratio was 14.2% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 13.5% and 13.1% for the corresponding periods of 2021. Our commission expenses were $25.2 million and $69.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $19.9 million and $54.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. Our commission expense ratios increased 0.7 and 1.1 percentage points, or 5.2% and 8.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 related primarily to an
33

increase in 2022 agency incentive accruals and an increase in new business writings. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to an increase in 2022 agency incentive accruals and a reversal of commissions relating to non-compliant and uncollectible premium recorded in the first quarter of 2021 which lowered the ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Underwriting Expenses Ratio. The underwriting expense ratio was 20.1% and 20.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 21.2% and 23.9% for the corresponding periods of 2021. The improvements in our underwriting expense ratio from period-to-period is largely the result of higher earned premiums coupled with active expense management.
Our underwriting expenses were $35.7 million and $101.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $31.1 million and $99.9 million for the corresponding periods of 2021.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, our payroll-related expenses increased $1.6 million, premium tax and assessment expenses increased $1.5 million and bad debt expense increased $1.2 million, each compared to the same period of 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our premium tax and assessment expenses increased $4.5 million and bad debt expense increased $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in professional services expenses of $1.6 million, a decrease in information technology related expenses of $1.3 million and a decrease in payroll-related expenses of $0.9 million, each compared to the same period of 2021.
Underwriting Income
Underwriting income for our Employers segment was $3.2 million and $15.8 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $12.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. Underwriting income or loss is determined by deducting losses and LAE, commission expense, and underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

Gross Premiums Written and Net Premiums Written
Gross premiums written and net premiums written were $1.5 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. The growth in Cerity's premiums written throughout 2022 is largely the result of: (i) a recent expansion in the classes of business that Cerity offers; and (ii) Cerity’s growing number of collaborations with strategic digital partners.
Net Premiums Earned
Net premiums earned were $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Underwriting expenses for our Cerity segment were $3.4 million and $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $9.6 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, our information technology related expenses increased $0.1 million and advertising expenses increased $0.1 million, compared to the corresponding period of 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our information technology expenses increased $0.4 million, and advertising expenses increased $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees expenses of $0.5 million, compared to the corresponding period of 2021.
Underwriting losses for our Cerity segment were $3.3 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $9.5 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. Underwriting income or loss is determined by deducting losses and LAE, commission expense, and underwriting expenses from net premiums earned.

General and administrative expenses were $2.8 million and $8.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $3.0 million and $11.5 million for the corresponding periods of 2021.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our compensation-related expenses decreased $0.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021. The decreases are related primarily to the acceleration of share-based awards in connection with the retirement of our prior Chief Executive Officer, which served to increase our compensation-related expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Non-Underwriting Income and Expenses
For a further discussion of non-underwriting related income and expenses, including Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments, and Interest and Financing Expenses see "—Results of Operations —Summary of Consolidated Financial Results".
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The current disruptions to the U.S. economy, our current operations and our investment portfolio have, at times, been significant. Nonetheless we believe that the liquidity available to our holding company and its operating subsidiaries remains adequate and we do not currently foresee a need to: (i) suspend ordinary dividends or forego repurchases of our common stock; (ii) seek a capital infusion; or (iii) seek any material non-investment asset sales.
Holding Company Liquidity
We are a holding company and our ability to fund our operations is contingent upon existing capital and the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends up to the holding company. Payment of dividends by our insurance subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance laws and regulations, including laws establishing minimum solvency and liquidity thresholds. We require cash to pay stockholder dividends, repurchase common stock, provide additional surplus to our insurance subsidiaries, and fund our operating expenses.
Our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and distributions to their parent is based on reported capital, surplus, and dividends paid within the prior twelve months.
During the first quarter of 2022, ECIC made a $120.0 million return of capital payment to its parent company, who in turn distributed that amount to the holding company. As a result of that distribution, ECIC cannot pay dividends for the remainder of 2022, without prior regulatory approval.
During the first quarter of 2022, EICN made a $9.7 million dividend payment to its parent company, who in turn distributed that amount to the holding company. As a result of that payment, EICN cannot pay any dividends for the remainder of 2022 without prior regulatory approval.
During the third quarter of 2022, EPIC made a $24.0 million dividend payment, EAC made a $23.2 million dividend payment, and CIC made a $2.7 million dividend payment to their respective parent companies, who in turn distributed that amount to the holding company. As a result of these payments, EPIC, EAC and CIC cannot pay any dividends for the remainder of 2022 without prior regulatory approval.
Total cash and investments at the holding company were $135.0 million at September 30, 2022, consisting of $94.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $8.4 million of fixed maturity securities, and $31.8 million of equity securities.

On December 15, 2020, EHI entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides EHI with a $75.0 million three-year revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, EHI has the option to request an increase of the credit available under the facility, up to a maximum facility amount of $125.0 million, subject to the consent of lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions. EHI had no outstanding advances under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2022.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are generally based on a base rate plus a specified margin, ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, or the Eurodollar rate (which will convert to an alternative reference rate once LIBOR is discontinued) plus a specified margin, ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%. Total interest paid and fees incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth of no less than 70% of our stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020, plus 50% of our aggregate net income thereafter; and (ii) a debt to total capitalization ratio of no more than 35%, in each case as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Operating Subsidiaries’ Liquidity
The primary sources of cash for our operating subsidiaries, which include our insurance and other operating subsidiaries, are premium collections, investment income, sales and maturities of investments, proceeds from FHLB advances, and reinsurance recoveries. The primary uses of cash for our operating subsidiaries are payments of losses and LAE, commission expenses, underwriting and general and administrative expenses, ceded reinsurance, repayments of FHLB advances, investment purchases and dividends paid to their parent.
Total cash and investments held by our operating subsidiaries was $2,495.3 million at September 30, 2022, consisting of $53.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2,226.7 million of fixed maturity securities, $156.7 million of equity securities, and $58.4 million of other invested assets. Sources of immediate and unencumbered liquidity at our operating subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022 consisted of $53.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $150.4 million of publicly traded equity securities whose proceeds are available within three business days and $767.0 million of highly liquid fixed maturity securities whose proceeds are available within three business days. We believe that our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs over the next 24 months will be met with cash from operations, investment income, and maturing investments.
EICN, ECIC, EPIC, and EAC are members of the FHLB. Membership allows our subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be used to support and enhance liquidity management. The amount of advances that may be taken is dependent on statutory admitted assets on a per company basis.
As of September 30, 2022, our insurance subsidiaries had received advances of $182.5 million from the FHLB under the Standard Credit Program. The proceeds from these advances were used to purchase an equivalent amount of high-quality collateralized loan obligation securities. The annual interest rate on these advances is adjusted daily per SOFR. As of September 30, 2022, the Company's weighted average annual interest rate on these advances was 1.78%. Interest paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These advances can be repaid at any time without penalty and are collateralized by eligible investment securities.
During the second quarter of 2020, the FHLB announced its Recovery Advance Program. The Recovery Advance Program is a zero percent interest, six-month or one-year credit product that members can use to provide immediate relief to property owners, businesses, and other customers struggling with the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member was allocated up to $10.0 million in advances under the Recovery Advance Program.
On May 11, 2020, our insurance subsidiaries received a total of $35.0 million of advances from the FHLB under the Recovery Advance Program. The advances were secured by collateral previously pledged to the FHLB by our insurance subsidiaries in support of our existing collateralized advance facility, which has been reduced by the amount of these outstanding advances. Our insurance subsidiaries repaid $15.0 million of such advances on November 4, 2020, $5.0 million on March 31, 2021, and $15.0 million on May 4, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, we have no outstanding advances under the Recovery Advance Program.
FHLB membership also allows our insurance subsidiaries access to standby Letter of Credit Agreements. On January 26, 2021, EPIC chose to amend its existing Letter of Credit Agreement to decrease its credit amount to $10.0 million. On August 13, 2021, EAC and ECIC chose to amend their existing Letter of Credit Agreements to decrease their respective credit amounts to $25.0 million and $35.0 million. The amended Letter of Credit Agreements will expire on March 31, 2023. The Letter of Credit Agreements may only be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, insurance deposit requirements with the State of California and are fully secured with eligible collateral at all times (See Note 10).
We purchase reinsurance to protect us against the costs of severe claims and catastrophic events, including pandemics. On July 1, 2022, we entered into a new reinsurance program that is effective through June 30, 2023. The reinsurance program consists
37

of one treaty covering excess of loss and catastrophic loss events in four layers of coverage. Our reinsurance coverage is $190.0 million in excess of our $10.0 million retention on a per occurrence basis, subject to certain exclusions. We believe that our reinsurance program meets our needs and that we are sufficiently capitalized.
Various state laws and regulations require us to hold investment securities or letters of credit on deposit with certain states in which we do business. Securities having a fair value of $690.1 million and $861.4 million were on deposit at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These laws and regulations govern both the amount and types of investment securities that are eligible for deposit. Additionally, standby letters of credit from the FHLB have been issued in lieu of $70.0 million securities on deposit at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Certain reinsurance contracts require company funds to be held in trust for the benefit of the ceding reinsurer to secure the outstanding liabilities we assumed. The fair value of fixed maturity securities held in trust for the benefit of our ceding reinsurers was $2.7 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Sources of Liquidity
We monitor the cash flows of each of our subsidiaries individually, as well as collectively as a consolidated group. We use trend and variance analyses to project future cash needs, making adjustments to our forecasts as appropriate.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included net premiums received of $478.1 million and investment income received of $60.2 million. These operating cash inflows were partially offset by net claims payments of $286.6 million, underwriting and general and administrative expenses paid of $111.1 million, commissions paid of $59.9 million, and federal income taxes paid of $11.6 million.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included net premiums received of $418.5 million and investment income received of $60.0 million. These operating cash inflows were more than offset by net claims payments of $298.7 million, underwriting and general and administrative expenses paid of $112.1 million, commissions paid of $52.7 million, and federal income taxes paid of $23.9 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily related to FHLB advances received, and reinvestment of funds from investment sales, maturities, redemptions, and interest income. These investing cash outflows were partially offset by investment sales, maturities and redemptions whose proceeds were used to fund claims payments, underwriting and general and administrative expenses, stockholder dividend payments, and common stock repurchases.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily related to sales, maturities, and redemptions of investments whose proceeds were used to fund claims payments, underwriting and general and administrative expenses, stockholder dividend payments, and common stock repurchases, partially offset by reinvestment of funds from investment sales, maturities, redemptions, and interest income.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to FHLB advances received partially offset by common stock repurchases and stockholder dividend payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we also borrowed and subsequently repaid $10.0 million under the Credit Agreement.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to common stock repurchases, stockholder dividend payments, and repayments of FHLB advances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we also borrowed and subsequently repaid $27.0 million under the Credit Agreement.
38

Dividends
We paid $49.3 million and $21.5 million in dividends to our stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The dividends paid during 2022 included a special dividend of $1.00 per share, which totaled $27.5 million, paid to eligible shareholders on June 15, 2022. The declaration and payment of future dividends to common stockholders, including any special dividends that may be declared in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors including our financial position, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, legal and regulatory requirements, and any other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant. On October 26, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend per share of $0.26, which is payable November 23, 2022 to stockholders of record on November 9, 2022.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased 186,799 shares of our common stock for $7.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Future repurchases of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial position, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, general business and social economic conditions, legal, tax, regulatory, and/or contractual restrictions, and any other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022, the capital resources available to us consisted of $919.0 million of stockholders’ equity and the $108.1 million Deferred Gain.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Other than operating expenses, current and long-term cash requirements include the following contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2022:
Leases
We have entered into lease arrangements for certain equipment and facilities. As of September 30, 2022, we had lease payment obligations of $15.5 million, with $3.5 million payable within 12 months.
Other Purchase Obligations
We have other purchase obligations that primarily consist of non-cancellable obligations to acquire capital assets, commitments for information technology and related services, software acquisition and license commitments and other legally binding agreements to purchase services that are to be used in our operations. As of September 30, 2022, we had other purchase obligations of $27.8 million, with $9.4 million payable within 12 months.
Unfunded Investment Commitments
We have investments in private equity limited partnerships that require capital distributions to fund the investments and can be called at any time deemed necessary. As of September 30, 2022, we had unfunded investment commitments of $57.3 million.
FHLB Advances
We received advances of $182.5 million from the FHLB under the Standard Credit Program. These advances can be repaid at any time without prepayment penalties or additional fees.
Unpaid Losses and LAE Expenses
We have developed unpaid losses and LAE expense payment patterns that are computed based on historical information. Our calculation of loss and LAE expense payments by period is subject to the same uncertainties associated with determining the level of reserves and to the additional uncertainties arising from the difficulty of predicting when claims (including claims that have not yet been reported to us) will be paid. Actual payments of losses and LAE by period will vary, perhaps materially, to the extent that current estimates of losses and LAE expense vary from actual ultimate claims amounts due to variations between expected and actual payment patterns. As of September 30, 2022, we had unpaid losses and LAE reserves of $1,979.9 million, of which $320.3 million is currently expected to be paid within 12 months.
The unpaid losses and LAE expense payment patterns are gross of reinsurance recoverables for unpaid losses. As of September 30, 2022, we had reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE of $456.4 million, of which $31.2 million is currently expected to be received within 12 months.
Investments
Our investment portfolio is structured to support our need for: (i) optimizing our risk-adjusted total returns; (ii) providing adequate liquidity; (iii) facilitating financial strength and stability; and (iv) ensuring regulatory and legal compliance. These investments provide a steady source of income, which may fluctuate with changes in interest rates and our current investment strategies.
39

As of September 30, 2022, our investment portfolio consisted of 90% fixed maturity securities. We strive to limit the interest rate risk associated with fixed maturity investments by managing the duration of these securities. Our fixed maturity securities (excluding cash and cash equivalents) had a duration of 4.0 at September 30, 2022. To minimize interest rate risk, our portfolio is weighted toward short-term and intermediate-term bonds; however, our investment strategy balances consideration of duration, yield, and credit risk. Our investment guidelines require that the minimum weighted average quality of our fixed maturity securities portfolio be “A,” using ratings assigned by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or an equivalent rating assigned by another nationally recognized statistical rating agency. Our fixed maturity securities portfolio had a weighted average quality of “A+” as of September 30, 2022. Other securities within fixed maturity securities consist of bank loans, which are classified as AFS and are reported at fair value.
Our investment portfolio also contains equity securities. We strive to limit the exposure to equity price risk associated with publicly traded equity securities by diversifying our holdings across several industry sectors. These equity securities had a fair value of $182.2 million at September 30, 2022, which represented 8% of our investment portfolio at that time. We also have a $6.3 million investment in FHLB stock which we record at cost. We receive periodic dividends from the FHLB for this investment, when declared, which can vary from period to period.
Our other invested assets made up 2% of our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2022 and include private equity limited partnerships. Our investments in private equity limited partnerships totaled $58.4 million at September 30, 2022 and are generally not redeemable by the investees and cannot be sold without prior approval of the general partner. These investments have a fund term of 3 to 12 years, subject to two or three one-year extensions at the general partner’s discretion. We expect to receive distributions of proceeds from dividends and interest from fund investments, as well as from the disposition of a fund investment or portion thereof, from time-to-time during the full course of the fund term. As of September 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments to these private equity limited partnerships totaling $57.3 million.
We believe that our current asset allocation meets our strategy to preserve capital for claims and policy liabilities and to provide sufficient capital resources to support and grow our ongoing insurance operations.
The following table shows the estimated fair value, the percentage of the fair value to total invested assets, and the average ending book yield, (each based on the book value of each category of invested assets) as of September 30, 2022.

Investments that we currently own could be subject to credit risk and subsequent default by the issuer. We regularly assess individual securities as part of our ongoing portfolio management, including the identification of credit related losses. Our
40

assessment includes reviewing the extent of declines in fair value of investments below amortized cost, historical and projected financial performance and near-term prospects of the issuer, the outlook for industry sectors, credit rating, and macro-economic changes. We also make a determination as to whether it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its fair value recovers to above cost, or maturity.
In addition to recognizing realized gains and losses upon the disposition of an investment security, we also recognize realized gains or losses on AFS debt securities for changes in CECL. As of September 30, 2022, we have a $4.7 million allowance for CECL on AFS debt securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a net $4.5 million increase to our allowance for CECL on AFS debt securities. The remaining fixed maturity securities whose total fair value was less than amortized cost at September 30, 2022, were those in which we had no intent, need, or requirement to sell at an amount less than their amortized cost.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report include amounts based on the use of estimates and judgments of management for those transactions that are not yet complete. We believe that the estimates and judgments that were most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements involved the reserves for losses and LAE and reinsurance recoverables. These estimates and judgments require the use of assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and therefore are subject to change as facts and circumstances develop. Our accounting policies are discussed under "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of potential economic loss principally arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. The major components of market risk affecting us are credit risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk.
Credit Risk
Our fixed maturity securities, equity securities, other invested assets and cash equivalents are exposed to credit risk, which we attempt to mitigate through issuer and industry diversification. Our investment guidelines include limitations on the minimum rating of fixed maturity securities and concentrations of a single issuer.
We also bear credit risk with respect to the reinsurers, which can be significant considering that some loss reserves remain outstanding for an extended period of time. We are required to pay losses even if a reinsurer refuses or fails to meet its obligations to us under the applicable reinsurance agreement(s). We continually monitor the financial condition and financial strength ratings of our reinsurers. Additionally, we bear credit risk with respect to premiums receivable, which is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising our policyholder base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies.
The economic disruptions caused by inflationary pressures, geo-political conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted the credit risk associated with certain of our investment holdings, reinsurance recoverables and premiums receivable. As of September 30, 2022, we have a $4.7 million allowance for CECL on our fixed maturity portfolio. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
Investments
The fair value of our fixed maturity portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk of a change in fair value resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates, which we strive to limit by managing duration. Our fixed maturity investments (excluding cash and cash equivalents) had a duration of 4.0 at September 30, 2022. To minimize interest rate risk, our portfolio is weighted toward short-term and intermediate-term bonds; however, our investment strategy balances consideration of duration, yield and credit risk. We continually monitor the changes in interest rates and the impact on our liquidity and ability to meet our obligations.
Sensitivity Analysis
The fair values or cash flows of market sensitive instruments are subject to potential losses in future earnings resulting from changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Our sensitivity analysis applies a hypothetical parallel shift in market rates and reflects what we believe are reasonably possible near-term changes in those rates (covering a period of time going forward up to one year from the date of the consolidated financial statements). Actual results may differ from the hypothetical change in
41

market rates assumed in this disclosure. This sensitivity analysis does not reflect the results of any action that we may take to mitigate such hypothetical losses in fair value.
We use fair values to measure our potential loss in this model, which includes fixed maturity securities and short-term investments. For invested assets, we use modified duration modeling to calculate changes in fair values. Durations on invested assets are adjusted for call, put, and interest rate reset features. Invested asset portfolio durations are calculated on a market value weighted basis, excluding accrued investment income, using holdings as of September 30, 2022. The estimated changes in fair values on our fixed maturity securities, which had an aggregate value of $2,235.1 million as of September 30, 2022, based on specific changes in interest rates are as follows:
Hypothetical Changes in Interest Rates Estimated Pre-tax Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value
(in millions, except percentages)
300 basis point rise $ (253.8) (11.4) %
200 basis point rise (173.9) (7.8)
100 basis point rise (88.9) (4.0)
50 basis point decline 46.1 2.1
100 basis point decline 92.9 4.2
The most significant assessment of the effects of hypothetical changes in interest rates on investment income would be based on GAAP guidance related to " Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, " which requires amortization adjustments for mortgage-backed securities. The rates at which the mortgages underlying mortgage-backed securities are prepaid, and therefore the average life of mortgage-backed securities, can vary depending on changes in interest rates (for example, mortgages are prepaid faster and the average life of mortgage-backed securities falls when interest rates decline). Adjustments for changes in amortization are based on revised average life assumptions and would have an impact on investment income if a significant portion of our commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities were purchased at significant discounts or premiums to par value. As of September 30, 2022, the par value of our commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities holdings was $451.6 million, and the amortized cost was 103.0% of par value. Since a majority of our mortgage-backed securities were purchased at a premium that is significant as a percentage of par, an adjustment could have a significant effect on investment income. The commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities portion of the portfolio represented 17.0% of our total investments as of September 30, 2022. Agency-backed residential mortgage pass-throughs represented 92.0%, of the residential mortgage-backed securities portion of the portfolio as of September 30, 2022.
For reference, from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022, the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield increased by 280 basis points, and our resulting pre-tax unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities totaled $283.5 million.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk that we may incur losses in the fair value of the equity securities we hold in our investment portfolio. Adverse changes in the market prices of the equity securities we hold in our investment portfolio would result in decreases in the fair value of our total assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Economic and market disruptions caused by geo-political conditions, inflationary pressures and the COVID-19 pandemic, have resulted in volatility in the fair value of our equity securities. We minimize our exposure to equity price risk by investing primarily in the equity securities of mid-to-large capitalization issuers and by diversifying our equity holdings across several industry sectors.
The table below shows the sensitivity of our equity securities at fair value to price changes as of September 30, 2022:
(in millions) Cost Fair Value 10% Fair Value Decrease Pre-tax Impact on Decrease in Total Equity Securities 10% Fair Value Increase Pre-tax Impact on Increase in Total Equity Securities
Equity securities $ 146.5 $ 182.2 $ 164.0 $ (18.2) $ 200.4 $ 18.2
Effects of Inflation
Recent economic slowdowns, financial market volatility, supply chain disruptions, monetary and fiscal policy measures, heightened geo-political tensions and fluctuations in interest rates have contributed to higher levels of inflation and may continue to lead to elevated levels of inflation in future periods.
42

Higher levels of inflation than we have anticipated could significantly impact our financial statements and results of operations. Our estimates for losses and LAE include assumptions about the timing of closure and future payment of claims and claims handling expenses, such as medical treatments and litigation costs. To the extent that inflation causes these costs to increase above established reserves, we will be required to increase those reserves for losses and LAE, reducing our earnings in the period in which the deficiency is identified.
Inflation is incorporated in our reserving process through projections supported by historical loss emergence. Additionally, we consider an estimate of increased costs in determining the adequacy of our rates, particularly as it relates to medical and hospital trends where historical loss trends have exceeded general inflation rates.
Higher levels of wage inflation can specifically impact the payrolls of our insureds, which is the basis for the premiums we charge, as well as amount of future indemnity losses we may incur.
Higher levels of inflation could also impact our operating expenses and, in the case of wage inflation, could impact our payroll expenses.
Recent increases in interest rates, which aid to suppress inflation, have negatively impacted the market value of our fixed maturity investments while increasing the yields on our new investments.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
