Principles of Consolidation
and Basis of Presentation
Global Indemnity Group, LLC (“Global Indemnity” or “the Company”) is a
Delaware
limited liability company. Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s
class A common shares
(excluding the
550,000
class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares) are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GBLI.
Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s predecessors have been publicly traded since 2003.
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the
quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any declines in value related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:
(1)
the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;
(2)
the issuer is in financial distress;
(3)
the investment is secured;
(4)
a significant credit rating action occurred;
(5)
scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed;
(6)
changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry;
(7)
the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity;
(8)
the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and
(9)
changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement.
According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. The new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Subject to the risks and uncertainties in evaluating the potential impairment of a security's value, the impairment evaluation conducted by the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 concluded the unrealized losses in the tables above are non-credit losses on securities where management does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery.
The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an
10
allowance
for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities was $
5.0
million and $
3.5
million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively.
The following is a description, by asset type, of the methodology and significant inputs that the Company used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings, if any:
U.S. treasuries
– As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to U.S. treasuries were
$
0.422
million
. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, macroeconomic and market analysis is conducted in evaluating these securities. Consideration is given to the interest rate environment, duration and yield curve management of the portfolio, sector allocation and security selection. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on U.S. treasuries during the period.
Obligations of states and political subdivisions –
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to obligations of states and political subdivisions were
$
0.615
million
. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, elements that may influence the performance of the municipal bond market are considered in evaluating these securities such as investor expectations, supply and demand patterns, and current versus historical yield and spread relationships. The analysis relies on the output of fixed income credit analysts, as well as dedicated municipal bond analysts who perform extensive in-house fundamental analysis on each issuer, regardless of their rating by the major agencies. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions during the period.
Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) –
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were
$
2.586
million
. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, mortgage-backed securities are modeled to project principal losses under downside, base, and upside scenarios for the economy and home prices. The primary assumption that drives the security and loan level modeling is the Home Price Index (“HPI”) projection. These forecasts incorporate not just national macro-economic trends, but also regional impacts to arrive at the most granular and accurate projections. These assumptions are incorporated into the model as a basis to generate delinquency probabilities, default curves, loss severity curves, and voluntary prepayment curves at the loan level within each deal. The model utilizes HPI-adjusted current loan to value, payment history, loan terms, loan modification history, and borrower characteristics as inputs to generate expected cash flows and principal loss for each bond under various scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on mortgage-backed securities during the period.
Asset backed securities (“ABS”) -
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to asset backed securities were
$
2.346
million
. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s asset backed portfolio is
37.1
. This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before an asset backed security will incur its first dollar of principal losses. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, every ABS transaction is analyzed on a stand-alone basis. This analysis involves a thorough review of the collateral, prepayment, and structural risk in each transaction. Additionally, the analysis includes an in-depth credit analysis of the originator and servicer of the collateral. The analysis projects an expected loss for a deal given a set of assumptions specific to the asset type. These assumptions are used to calculate at what level of losses the deal will incur its first dollar of principal loss. The major assumptions used to calculate this ratio are loss severities, recovery lags, and no advances on principal and interest. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on asset backed securities during the period.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) -
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to the CMBS portfolio were
$
1.786
million
. The weighted average credit enhancement for the Company’s CMBS portfolio is
43.8
.
This represents the percentage of pool losses that can occur before a commercial mortgage-backed security will incur its first dollar of principal loss. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, a loan level analysis is utilized where every underlying CMBS loan is re-underwritten based on a set of assumptions reflecting expectations for the future path of the economy. Each loan is analyzed over time using a series of tests to determine if a credit event will occur during the life of the loan. Inherent in this process are several economic scenarios and their corresponding rent/vacancy and capital market states. The five primary credit events that frame the analysis include loan modifications, term default, balloon default, extension, and ability to pay off the balloon. The resulting
11
output
is the expected loss adjusted cash flows for each bond under the base case and distressed scenarios. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on commercial mortgage-backed securities during the period.
Corporate bonds -
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to corporate bonds were
$
2.151
million
. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, analysis for this asset class includes maintaining detailed financial models that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on corporate bonds during the period.
Foreign bonds –
As of March 31, 2025, gross unrealized losses related to foreign bonds were
$
1.411
million
. To assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, detailed financial models are maintained that include a projection of each issuer’s future financial performance, including prospective debt servicing capabilities, capital structure composition, and the value of the collateral. The analysis incorporates the macroeconomic environment, industry conditions in which the issuer operates, the issuer’s current competitive position, its vulnerability to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment, issuer liquidity, issuer commitment to bondholders, issuer creditworthiness, and asset protection. Part of the process also includes running downside scenarios to evaluate the expected likelihood of default as well as potential losses in the event of default. Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not recognize a credit loss on foreign bonds during the period.
The Company has evaluated its investment portfolio and has determined that an allowance for expected credit losses on its investments is not required.

Variable Interest Entities
A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights. Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results.
The Company has inter
ests in
three
limited partnership investments with a carrying value approximating fair value of $
23.9
million and $
29.4
million as of
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
. The Company has a variable interest in
two
of these limited partnership investments, for which it is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are accounted for under the equity method since its ownership interest exceeds
3
%.
The carrying value of one of the Company’s VIE’s, which invests in distressed securities and assets, was $
2.4
million
and $
2.6
million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from this VIE, which factors in future funding commitments of $
14.2
million, was $
16.6
million and $
16.8
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Since the investment period has concluded, the Company does not expect any capital calls will be made prospectively. The carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of a second VIE that invests in Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) qualifying assets was $
8.3
million
and $
8.9
million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s investment in VIEs is included i
n other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in carrying value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.
15
The Company’s invested assets are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:
•
Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•
Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly.
•
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.
The following table presents information about the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

The securities classified as Level 1 in the above tables consist of U.S. treasuries actively traded on an exchange.
The securities classified as Level 2 in the above tables consist primarily of fixed maturities and preferred stocks. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities and preferred stocks, security prices are
16
derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.
Fair Value of Alternative Investments
Other invested assets consist of limited partnerships whose carrying value approximates fair value.
The following table provides the fair value and future funding commitments related to these investments at

illion were received during the quarter ended March 31, 2025
.
Limited Partnerships with ownership interest exceeding 3%
The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in limited partnerships where its ownership interest exceeds
3
%. The equity method of accounting for an investment in limited partnerships requires that its cost basis be updated to account for the income or loss earned on the investment. In the Fair Value of Alternative Investm
ents table above, all of the investments are booked on a one quarter lag due to non-availability of data at the time the financial statements are prepared. The investment income (loss) associated with the limited partnerships whose ownership interest exceeds
3
% is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the amounts of ($
0.2
) million and $
0.4
million for the quarters ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Pricing
The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:
•
Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges.
•
Corporate and agency bonds, as well as preferred stock, are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities.
17
•
Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds.
•
For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research.
•
U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers.
•
For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors.
The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to:
•
Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch. This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change.
•
Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy.
•
On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not adjusted q
uotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors.

The following table is an analysis of the allowance for expected credit losses related to the Company's premium receivables for the

Income Taxes
Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and meets the qualifying income exception to maintain partnership status. As a publicly traded partnership, Global Indemnity Group, LLC is generally not subject to federal income tax and most state income taxes. However, income earned by the subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC is subject to corporate tax in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions.
The Company conducts business in the United States where the statutory income tax rate is
21
% and conducts certain functions in Ireland where the statutory income tax rate is
12.5
% on trading income.
The statutory income tax rate of each country is applied against the expected annual taxable income of the Company in each country to estimate the annual income tax expense.
The Company’s income (loss) before income taxes is derived from its U.S. subsidiaries for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its interim tax provision. These rates are revised, if necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to reflect current estimates of the annual effective tax rates.
The effective tax rate was
21.7
% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate is higher than the statutory tax rate of
21
%

20.3
% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory tax rate of
21
% primarily due to the parent’s income being treated as a partnership for tax offset partially by non-deductible executive compensation.

$
14.0
million
and $
21.6

The LLCA incorporates certain amendments, including, the authorization of
5,000,000
class A common shares that the Board may designate as class A-2 common shares pursuant to a grant agreement, as well as establishing the rights of the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares.
Class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares issuance
On March 6, 2025, Global Indemnity Group, LLC issued
550,000
class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares to Fox Paine & Company, LLC. These shares represent an interest in the profits of the Company in excess of a threshold amount of $
475.3
million which is equal to the product of (i) the volume weighted average closing sale price of a class A common share on the New York Stock Exchange for the
30
consecutive calendar days ending on and including the grant date of March 6, 2025, which is equal to $
34.67
per share, multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding class A and class B common shares of
13,708,199
, subject to adjustment as set forth in the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares grant agreement. These shares are fully vested and non-forfeitable. The class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares have the same voting rights as the class A common shares and are entitled to ordinary cash dividends or other regular distributions in the same manner as both the class A and class B common shares. Other than distributions made in connection with a Change of Control Transaction, the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares are also entitled to receive any special dividends or distributions that may be declared by the Board in the same manner as the class A and class B common shares provided the distribution relates solely to Company profits accrued since the grant date and does not result in the reduction of the threshold amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Board and the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors, the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares may not be assigned, sold, pledged, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner until the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction.

2)
second, holders of class A and class B common shares (other than the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares) receive distributions equal to the Threshold Amount less the total amount of any special distributions or special dividends paid by the Company to holders of class A and class B common shares (other than the class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares) following the grant date that relate solely to the capital (not profits) of the Company (which amount shall be determined by the Board);
3)
third, the holders of class A common shares designated as class A-2 common shares receive
100
% of distributions until the amount received per class A common shares designated as a class A-2 common shares is “caught up” to the amount received under step (2) by each class A common share; and

Enhancing Penn-America Underwriters, LLC's business divisions: Wholesale Commercial, Vacant Express, Collectibles and Specialty Products by creating separate and distinct businesses for each division to improve branding, attract talent and expand relationships with its distribution partners.
•
Establishing separate businesses for technology, Kaleidoscope Insurance Technologies, Inc., and claims services, Liberty Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc, that will continue to support the insurance company operations of Belmont Holdings GX, Inc. and create the foundation to offer products and services to other insurance industry participants.
•
De-stacking the insurance companies resulting in an increased consolidated surplus of the insurance companies and allowing for more efficient management of capital and liquidity.
On March 6, 2025, upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Board of Directors (other than Joseph Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, who recused himself due to his inherent conflict of interest in approving a compensation matter for Fox Paine) approved the issuance of

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

If the Company had not incurred a loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2025,
13,986,069
weighted
average shares would have been used to compute the diluted loss per share calculation. In addition to the basic shares, weighted average shares for the diluted calculation for the quarter ended March 31, 2025
would have included

Segment Information
On December 31, 2024, the Company executed an extensive internal business reorganization that marked a significant milestone, positioning the Company for growth and enhanced operational efficiency, increased statutory capital, and more efficient capital management resulting from de-stacking of the insurance companies.
As a result of this reorganization, the Company’s reportable segments are now structured under
two
holding companies:
•
Penn-America Underwriters, LLC consists of (i) three agencies: Penn-America Insurance Services, LLC, J.H. Ferguson, LLC, which includes the Vacant Express division, and Collectibles Insurance Services, LLC that source, underwrite, and service policies and (ii) two strategic insurance product and service businesses: Liberty Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc. a claims adjustment and claims service business and Kaleidoscope Insurance Technologies, Inc., a proprietary insurance software and services provider.
•
Belmont Holdings GX, Inc. includes five state-regulated insurance carriers: Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, and United National Insurance Company, each of which are rated “A” (Excellent) by AM Best.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company realigned the composition of its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the Company now manages its operations. The Company changed the level at which
its chief operating decision
maker
(“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer of Global Indemnity Group, LLC, regularly reviews operating results and allocate
24
resources
to now include Agency and Insurance Services. As a result of these changes, the Company has
three

Net investment income from the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio increased 7% due to an increase in book yield on the portfolio. The book yield on the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 4.5% at March 31, 2025 compared to 4.3% at March 31, 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, approximately $300 million of the fixed maturities portfolio was reinvested at 5.5%, consisting of high quality corporates and structured securities. As a result of this strategy, duration increased to 1.3 as of March 31, 2025 compared to duration of 0.8 as of December 31, 2024.
•
Income from limited partnerships declined to a loss of $0.1 million in 2025 compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the same period in 2024 mainly due to the decline in fair value in one of the Company's limited partnership investments resulting from change in market interest rates.
The Company's fixed maturities portfolio continues to maintain high quality with an AA- average rating and consist of the following:

Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, impairment losses, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate expenses increased to $9.5 million in 2025 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2024 primarily driven by $2.9 million of advisory fees consisting mainly of stock compensation approved and granted by the Board of Directors in the 1
st
quarter of 2025 related to the Company’s internal reorganization and employee costs related to investment in the Company’s newly formed agency and insurance services companies. See Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for additional information on the advisory fee.
Income Tax Benefit / Expense
Income tax benefit was $1.1 million on net loss before tax of $5.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This compares to income tax expense of $2.9 million on net income before tax of $14.3 million for the same period in 2024.
See Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company had a net loss of $4.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Excluding the California Wildfires net losses and loss adjustment expenses of $12.2 million after tax, net income would have been $8.2 million compared to a net income of $11.4 million for the same period in 2024.
Reserves
Amounts recorded for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s best estimate at March 31, 2025. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross reserves of $794.8 million and $800.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and net reserves of $732.1 million and $739.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(2)
Does not include reinsurance receivables on paid net losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Gross and net reserves related to Belmont Non-Core are declining as it services the run-off of policies/treaties on de-emphasized and terminated business.
Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate net losses and loss adjustment expenses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company
34
believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net losses and loss adjustment expenses estimate of $66.7 million for claims occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2025:

The Company’s net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $732.1 million as of March 31, 2025 relate to multiple accident years. Therefore, the impact of changes in frequency and severity for more than one accident year could be higher or lower than the amounts reflected above.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments and the California Wildfires, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends in the Company's segments may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments and the California Wildfires. These non-GAAP financial measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and do not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

The most critical accounting policies involve significant estimates and include those used in determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, recoverability of reinsurance receivables, investments, fair value measurements, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred acquisition costs, and taxation. For a detailed discussion on each of these policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The decline in cash flows of $20.3 million in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily driven by an increase in current accident year catastrophe property net losses and loss adjustment expenses paid and increase in prior accident year casualty net losses and loss adjustment expenses paid from its Belmont Non-Core Casualty lines of business.
The reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities is generally influenced by the following:
•
the timing of the Company’s collection of premiums and payment of commissions;
•
the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and
•
the timing of the Company’s payments of net losses and loss adjustment expenses.

PART II-OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
