Except for the historical information included and incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information included and incorporated by reference herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations, our strategic plans and objectives, and government legislation. When we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings with the SEC.
The factors described herein are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect our forward-looking statements. Consequently, our actual performance could be materially different from the results described or anticipated by our forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by the applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Accounting Standard Update
Description
Adoption Date
Impact on Financial Statements
2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Investors, lenders, creditors, and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”) indicated that the existing income tax disclosures should be enhanced to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. While investors find these disclosures helpful, they suggested possible enhancements to better (1) understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows.
The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
The Company expects to adopt this guidance when required, which will enhance our income tax disclosures.
2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity:
1. Disclose the amounts of relevant expense and within which expense caption the relevent expense is presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations.
2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements.
3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
4. Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026.
The Company expects to
adopt this guidance when required, with minimal impact to our financials and disclosures.

Receivable balances from authorized reinsurers, such as the Allianz companies noted above, do not require collateral based on the authorized status of the parties.

The Company monitors collateral values, authorization status, financial statements and A.M. Best ratings of its reinsurers periodically. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not believe there is a risk of loss due to the concentration of credit risk in the reinsurance program given the related collateralization or reinsurer A.M.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
The Company selectively utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its overall investment and hedging activities. Derivative contracts are subject to additional risk that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Company’s derivative activities are primarily entered into in order to manage underlying credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk. In addition, the Company is also subject to counterparty risk should its counterparties fail to meet the contract terms. Derivative assets are reported in other investments. Derivative liabilities are reported within
other liabilities and accrued expenses
. Derivatives for our mortgage business are primarily comprised of interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs), forward delivery contracts, and TBA mortgage-backed securities.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The fair value of these instruments is based upon valuation pricing models, which represent the amount the Company would expect to receive or pay at the balance sheet date to exit the position. Our mortgage origination subsidiary issues IRLCs to their customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to the value of the underlying loan associated with the IRLC net of costs to produce and an expected pull through assumption. The fair values of these commitments generally fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Forward Delivery Contracts and TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities
Our mortgage origination subsidiary manages their exposure by entering into forward delivery commitments with loan investors. For loans not locked with investors under a forward delivery commitment, the Company enters into hedge instruments, primarily TBAs, to protect against movements in interest rates. The fair values of TBA mortgage-backed securities and forward delivery contracts generally fall under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The remaining derivatives are generally comprised of a combination of swaps, currency forwards and options, which are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the Fortegra Additional Warrant (Warburg) is a derivative liability and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note (15) Stockholders' Equity for additional information regarding the Fortegra Additional Warrant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible to measure a financial instrument’s fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and are affected by the type of product, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, as well as current market conditions. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is estimated by applying the hierarchy discussed in Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s fair value measurements are based primarily on a market approach, which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable financial instruments. Sources of inputs to the market approach include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations and pricing matrices. Management analyzes the third-party valuation methodologies and its related inputs to perform assessments to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy and to assess reliability of values. Further, management has a process in place to review all changes in fair value that occurred during each measurement period. Any discrepancies or unusual observations are followed through to resolution through the source of the pricing as well as utilizing comparisons, if applicable, to alternate pricing sources.
The Company utilizes observable and unobservable inputs within its valuation methodologies. Observable inputs may include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. In addition, specific issuer information and other market data is used. Broker quotes are obtained from sources recognized to be market participants. Unobservable inputs may include: expected cash flow streams, default rates, supply and demand considerations and market volatility.

Available for Sale Securities, at fair value
The fair values of AFS securities are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service and a third-party investment manager. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the independent pricing service and the third-party investment manager by analyzing the investment manager-provided pricing report.
The following details the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of AFS securities and the applicable level each security falls within the fair value hierarchy:
U.S. Treasury Securities, Obligations of U.S. Government Authorities and Agencies, Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions, Corporate Securities, Asset Backed Securities, and Obligations of Foreign Governments:
Fair values were obtained from an independent pricing service and a third-party investment manager. The prices provided by the independent pricing service and third-party investment manager are based on quoted market prices, when available, non-binding broker quotes, or matrix pricing and fall under Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Certificates of Deposit:
The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit approximate carrying value and fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity Securities
The fair values of publicly traded common and preferred equity securities and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) are obtained from market value quotations provided by an independent pricing service and fall under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of non-publicly traded common and preferred stocks are based on prices derived from multiples of comparable public companies and fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Loans, at fair value
Corporate Loans
: These loans are comprised of middle market loans and bank loans and are generally classified under either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. To determine fair value, the Company uses quoted prices, including those provided from pricing vendors, which provide coverage of secondary market participants, where available. The values represent a composite of mark-to-market bid/offer prices. In certain circumstances, the Company will make its own determination of fair value of loans based on internal models and other unobservable inputs.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
: Mortgage loans held for sale are generally classified under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and fair value is based upon forward sales contracts with third-party investors, including estimated loan costs.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives for our mortgage business are primarily comprised of IRLCs, forward delivery contracts and TBA mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of these instruments is based upon valuation pricing models, which represent the amount the Company would expect to
receive or pay at the balance sheet date to exit the position. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries issue IRLCs to their customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to the value of the underlying loan associated with the IRLC net of costs to produce and an expected pull through assumption. The fair values of these commitments generally fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Our mortgage origination subsidiaries manage their exposure by entering into forward delivery commitments with loan investors. For loans not locked with investors under a forward delivery commitment, the Company enters into hedge instruments, primarily TBAs, to protect against movements in interest rates. The fair values of TBA mortgage-backed securities and forward delivery contracts generally fall under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The remaining derivatives are generally comprised of a combination of swaps, currency forwards and options, which are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the Fortegra Additional Warrants (Warburg) are a derivative liability and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note (15) Stockholders' Equity for additional information regarding the Fortegra Additional Warrants.

Debentures:
Since
interest rates on debentures are at current market rates for similar credit risks, the carrying amount approximates fair value. These values are net of allowance for doubtful accounts. See Note (4) Investments.
Notes Receivable, net:
To the extent that carrying amounts differ from fair value, fair value is determined based on contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar credits. Categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note (5) Notes and Accounts Receivable, net.
Debt:
The carrying value, which approximates fair value of floating rate debt, represents the total debt balance at face value excluding the unamortized discount. The fair value of the Junior subordinated notes is determined based on dealer quotes. Categorized under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, the following financial assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are not carried at fair value, but whose carrying amounts approximate their fair value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Categorized under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Accounts and Premiums Receivable, net, Retrospective Commissions Receivable and Other Receivables:
The carrying amounts approximate fair value since no interest rate is charged on these short duration assets. Categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note (5) Notes and Accounts Receivable, net.
Due from Brokers, Dealers, and Trustees and Due to Brokers, Dealers and Trustees:
The carrying amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities and accrued expenses and approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. Categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

TIPTREE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share data)
Management considers the prior year development for each of these years to be insignificant when considered in the context of our annual earned premiums, net as well as our net losses and loss adjustment expenses and member benefit claims expenses. We analyze our development on a quarterly basis and given the short duration nature of our products, favorable or adverse development emerges quickly and allows for timely reserve strengthening, if necessary, or modifications to our product pricing or offerings.
The favorable prior year development of $
4,031
in the three months ended March 31, 2025 represented
10.6
% of our insurance business income before taxes of $
38,054
and
0.6
% of the opening net liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $
658,210
, as of January 1, 2025.
The unfavorable prior year development of $
773
in the three months ended March 31, 2024 represented
2.1
% of our insurance business income before taxes of $
36,811
, and
0.2
% of the opening net liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $
393,455
, as of January 1, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, current year incurred losses included $
27.1
million related to the January 2025 California wildfires.
Based upon our internal analysis and our review of the statement of actuarial opinions provided by our actuarial consultants, we believe that the amounts recorded for policy liabilities and unpaid claims reasonably represent the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.

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

Service and Administrative Fees
Service and administrative fees are generated from non-insurance programs including warranty service contracts, motor clubs and other services. Service and administrative fees are recognized consistent with the earnings recognition pattern of the underlying policies, debt cancellation contracts and motor club memberships being administered, using pro rata, Rule of 78’s, modified Rule of 78’s, or other methods as appropriate for the contract. Management selects the appropriate method based on available information, and periodically reviews the selections as additional information becomes available.
Management reviews the financial results under each significant contract on a monthly basis. Any losses that may occur due to a specific contract would be recognized in the period in which the loss is determined to be probable.
We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material as of March 31, 2025.

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

Fortegra Non-Controlling Interests
On June 21, 2022, the Company closed the WP Transaction. On that date, Fortegra converted to a Delaware corporation and Warburg made a $
200,000
investment in Fortegra in exchange for Fortegra Common Stock, Fortegra Preferred Stock, Fortegra Warrants and Fortegra Additional Warrants. Also, in connection with the closing of the WP Transaction, Tiptree was issued Fortegra Additional Warrants, and management’s interests in LOTS Intermediate were exchanged for interests in Fortegra.
In March and April 2024, Tiptree, Warburg and Fortegra independent directors contributed $
30,044
, $
9,889
and $
67
, respectively, to Fortegra in exchange for Fortegra Common Stock. As of March 31, 2025, Fortegra was owned approximately
79.1
% by Tiptree Holdings,
17.7
% by Warburg and
3.2
% by management and directors of Fortegra before giving effect to the exercise of outstanding warrants and management options and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock.
Fortegra Preferred Stock
The face amount of the Fortegra Preferred Stock is $
80,000
. Dividends are cumulative and accrue at a rate of
8
% per annum, compounding quarterly. Any quarterly dividend may be paid in cash, at Fortegra’s option. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, cash dividends declared were $
1,578
and $
1,595
, respectively.
Warburg has the option to convert, at any time, its shares of Fortegra Preferred Stock into shares of Fortegra Common Stock at an initial conversion premium of
33
% to Warburg’s initial investment valuation (the “Fortegra Preferred Stock Conversion Price”). The Fortegra Preferred Stock Conversion Price is adjusted for any Fortegra Common Stock splits, dividends, extraordinary dividends and similar transactions. All of the Fortegra Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Fortegra Common Stock at the Fortegra Preferred Stock Conversion Price upon the closing of a qualifying initial public offering, subject to a
five year
make-whole provision. Upon conversion, the Fortegra Preferred Stock would result in Warburg owning an additional
6.3
% interest in Fortegra, for a total as converted ownership of
24.0
% (including its ownership of Fortegra Common Stock).
Fortegra Warrants
The Fortegra Warrants have a
seven-year
term and an exercise premium of
33
% to Warburg’s initial investment valuation (the “Fortegra Warrant Exercise Price”). The Fortegra Warrant Exercise Price will be reduced by any Fortegra Common Stock cash dividends made by Fortegra and adjusted for stock splits, common stock dividends, extraordinary dividends and similar transactions. The Fortegra Warrants, if exercised with cash, would result in Warburg owning an additional
3.7
% interest in Fortegra.

Fortegra Additional Warrants
The Fortegra Additional Warrants issued to both Warburg and Tiptree have a
seven-year
term and an exercise price of $
0.01
per share of Fortegra Common Stock. The Fortegra Additional Warrants issued to Warburg will be forfeited based on Warburg achieving an all-in return on its investment in excess of
23
%, as measured primarily by Fortegra’s Common Stock price. The Fortegra Additional Warrants issued to Warburg are classified as liabilities, at fair value. The Fortegra Additional Warrants issued to Tiptree will vest based on Warburg achieving an all-in return on its investment in excess of
30
%, as measured primarily by Fortegra’s Common Stock price. The number of shares of Fortegra Common Stock issuable to Warburg or Tiptree with respect to the Fortegra Additional Warrants is subject to adjustment for Fortegra Common Stock splits, stock or cash dividends and similar transactions. The Fortegra Additional Warrants are exercisable from the earlier of a transaction that results in Warburg having sold
50
% of its Fortegra Common Stock or the fifth anniversary of the closing date. The maximum number of shares issued to Warburg or Tiptree, if exercised with cash, would be an additional
1.7
% interest in Fortegra on an as converted basis (including its ownership of Fortegra Common and Preferred Stock).

Statutory Reporting and Insurance Company Subsidiaries Dividend Restrictions
The Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiaries prepare financial statements in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) prescribed or permitted by the insurance departments of their states of domicile. Prescribed SAP includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the NAIC as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules.
Statutory Capital and Surplus
The Company’s insurance company subsidiaries must maintain minimum amounts of statutory capital and surplus as required by regulatory authorities, including the NAIC; their capital and surplus levels exceeded respective minimum requirements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Under the NAIC Risk-Based Capital Act of 1995, a company’s Risk-Based Capital (RBC) is calculated by applying certain risk factors to various asset, claim and reserve items. If a company's adjusted surplus falls below calculated RBC thresholds, regulatory intervention or oversight is required. The Company’s U.S. domiciled insurance company subsidiaries' RBC levels, as calculated in accordance with the NAIC’s RBC instructions, exceeded all RBC thresholds as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company also has a foreign insurance subsidiary that is not subject to SAP. The statutory capital and surplus amounts and statutory net income presented above do not include the foreign insurance subsidiary in accordance with SAP.
Statutory Dividends
The Company’s U.S. domiciled insurance company subsidiaries may pay dividends to the Company, subject to statutory restrictions. Payments in excess of statutory restrictions (extraordinary dividends) to the Company are permitted only with prior approval of the insurance department of the applicable state of domicile. The Company eliminates all dividends from its subsidiaries in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Generally, the Tiptree RSUs vest and become non-forfeitable either (i) after the third anniversary, or (ii) with respect to one-third of Tiptree shares granted on each of the first, second and third year anniversaries of the grant date. RSU awards are expensed using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. The RSUs include a retirement provision and are amortized over the lesser of the service condition or expected retirement date.
Stock awards issued as director compensation are deemed to be granted and immediately vested upon issuance. On February 25, 2025, the Company issued Messrs. Barnes and Ilany
60,813
and
151,778
shares of the Company's common stock, respectively, as part of their compensation for 2024 performance.

Tiptree Senior Management Incentive Plan
On August 4, 2021, a total of
3,500,000
Performance Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs) were awarded to members of the Company’s senior management. An additional
350,000
PRSUs were awarded on October 14, 2022. The PRSUs have a
10-year
term and are subject to the recipient’s continuous service and a market requirement. A portion of the PRSUs will generally vest upon the achievement of each of
five
Tiptree share price target milestones ranging from $
15
to $
60
, adjusted for dividends paid, within
five
pre-established determination periods (subject to a catch-up vesting mechanism) occurring on the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth anniversaries of the grant date. In November 2021 and October 2024, the first and

second tranches of the PRSUs vested, resulting in a net issuance of
215,583
and
462,766
shares, respectively, of Tiptree common stock.
On January 1, 2024, Tiptree granted
1,420,833
PRSUs to members of the Company’s senior management. The PRSUs will generally vest upon achievement of a $

Tiptree share price target (adjusted for dividends paid) prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Grantee’s continued employment with Tiptree.
As of March 31, 2025,
4,520,833
PRSUs were unvested.
The below table illustrates the aggregate number of PRSUs that will vest upon the achievement of each Tiptree share price target. Such price targets are adjusted down for cumulative dividends paid by the Company since grant (e.g., the next share price target is $

as adjusted for cumulative dividends paid to date).

Upon vesting, the Company will issue shares, or if shares are not available under the 2017 Equity Plan, then the Company may in its sole discretion instead deliver cash equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares. The fair value of the PRSUs was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula embedded within a Monte Carlo model used to simulate the future stock prices of the Company, which assumes that the market requirement is achieved. The historical volatility was computed based on historical daily returns of the Company’s stock price simulated over the performance period using a lookback period of
10
years. The valuation was done under a risk-neutral framework using the
10-year
zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve on the reporting date. The quarterly dividend rates in effect as of the reporting date are used to calculate a spot dividend yield for use in the model.
The following table presents the assumptions used to measure the fair value of the PRSUs as of the respective grant date, or June 7, 2022, when the original tranches were converted to equity awards.

Stock Option Awards
Between 2016 and 2020, option awards were granted to the Executive Committee with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The option awards have a
10-year
term and are subject to the recipient’s continuous service, a market requirement, and vest one third on each of the
three

, and

Subsidiary Equity Plans
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have established incentive plans under which they are authorized to issue equity of those subsidiaries to certain of their employees. Such awards are accounted for as equity unless otherwise noted. These awards are subject to performance-vesting criteria based on the performance of the subsidiary (performance vesting awards) and time-vesting subject to continued employment (time vesting awards). The Company has the option, but not the obligation to settle the exchange right in cash.
Fortegra Equity Incentive Plan
Fortegra adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“Fortegra Plan”) on June 21, 2022, and further amended on January 18, 2024, which permits the grant of RSUs, stock based awards and options up to
11.0
% of Fortegra Common Stock (assuming conversion of the Fortegra Preferred Stock), of which the substantial majority is expected to be delivered in options. The general purpose of the Fortegra Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees of Fortegra, to provide them with incentives and rewards for performance and to better align their interests with those of Fortegra’s stockholders. Unless otherwise extended, the Fortegra Plan terminates automatically on June 21, 2032. The awards under the Fortegra Plan are not exchangeable for Tiptree common stock.
As of March 31, 2025, unvested time vesting RSUs represented
0.3
% and unvested time and performance vesting options represented
3.9
% of Fortegra Common Stock (in each case, assuming conversion of the Fortegra Preferred Stock). The RSUs include a retirement provision and are amortized over the lesser of the service condition or expected retirement date. The time vested options vest in equal parts over
five years
with the first tranche vested and exercised in 2024. The performance vested options vest based on specific internal rate of return targets determined at the time of a change of control of Fortegra or sale by Warburg of more than
50
% of its Fortegra securities (on an as converted basis) acquired in 2022. A majority of these time and performance options must be exercised in the calendar year they vest and shall be deemed automatically exercised if not otherwise done so by December 31 of the calendar year in which they vest. The fair value option grants were estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing formula embedded within a Monte Carlo model used to simulate the future value of Fortegra Common Stock, which assumes the market requirement is achieved. Key assumptions used in the model were a historical volatility of
45.0
%, a risk free rate of
3.7
%,
no
dividend yield and an expected term of
4.2
years.
In 2023, Fortegra granted performance based restricted stock units (Fortegra PRSUs) that vest based on the achievement of specified gross written premium volume targets and underwriting ratios for selected specialty insurance lines written in 2024. Upon vesting, the Fortegra PRSUs entitle recipients to participate in an aggregate pool of between $
5,000
and $
20,000
payable in shares of Fortegra. The Fortegra PRSUs are accounted for as liability awards and were unvested as of March 31, 2025.

Higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of outside basis deferred taxes on Tiptree’s investment in Fortegra and other discrete items.
Tiptree owns less than 80% of Fortegra and is required to record deferred taxes on the outside basis on its investment in Fortegra. This deferred tax liability represents the tax that would be due, before consideration of loss carryforwards, if Tiptree were to sell all of its Fortegra stock at its carrying value on Tiptree’s balance sheet.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the deferred tax liability relating to Fortegra increased by $
7,072
, of which $
2,349
of expense was recorded in OCI, and $
4,723
expense was recorded as a provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the deferred tax liability relating to Fortegra increased by $
3,930
, of which $
535
of benefit was recorded in OCI, and $
4,465
expense was recorded as a provision for income taxes. Excluding the impact of these deferred taxes, the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were
30.2
% and
31.5
%, respectively.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Many aspects of Pillar Two are effective beginning calendar year 2024 and other aspects will be effective beginning in calendar year 2025. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. While we do not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on the Company, our analysis is ongoing as the OECD releases additional guidance and countries implement additional legislation.

Litigation
The Company is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., a class action filed in February 2006, in Pike County Circuit Court in the Commonwealth of Kentucky on behalf of Kentucky consumers that purchased certain credit life and disability insurance coverage between 1997-2007. The action alleges violations of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act (“KCPA”) and certain insurance statutes, common law fraud and breach of contract and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and interest.
Two classes were certified in June 2010: Subclass A includes class members who suffered a disability during the coverage period but allegedly received less than full disability benefits; Subclass B includes all class members whose loan termination date extended beyond the termination date of the credit disability coverage period.
In a series of orders issued in October 2022 on competing motions for partial summary judgment, the court found in favor of the plaintiffs as to the Subclass A breach of contract claim (the “Subclass A Order”) and, as to Subclass B, found that the Company was unjustly enriched to the extent the premium it collected exceeded the proportion of the premium for which the Company provided benefits coverage (the “Subclass B Order”). The court found in favor of the Company as to the plaintiffs’ claims for common law fraud and violation of Kentucky’s insurance statutes and ordered the plaintiffs’ Motion for Sanctions for Spoliation of Evidence held in abeyance. The Company has appealed the Subclass A Order and Subclass B Order and all interlocutory orders made final by entry of the Subclass A Order and Subclass B Order.
In December 2022, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ KCPA claims as to both Subclass A Order and Subclass B Order. The court also dismissed the plaintiffs’ breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing claim as to Subclass B Order but declined to dismiss such claim as to Subclass A Order pending resolution of the Company’s appeal.
In May 2024, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Court of Appeals disagreed with the court’s interpretation of the policies at issue and entered an order (the “Court of Appeals Order”) affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding the Subclass A Order and Subclass B Order. In June 2024, the Company filed a Motion for Discretionary Review of the Court of Appeals Order in the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
In February 2025, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky denied the Company’s Motion for Discretionary Review of the Court of Appeals’ May 2024 Order and proceedings recommenced in the Pike County Circuit Court. A trial date has not been set.
The Company considers such litigation customary in the insurance industry. In management’s opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of the Company. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards, bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic net income per share of common stock (common share) based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which includes vested corporate RSUs. Unvested corporate RSUs have a non-forfeitable right to participate in dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common stock on an as vested basis and are therefore considered a participating security. The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the “two-class” method under which the income available to common stockholders is allocated to the unvested corporate RSUs.
Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders includes the effect of unvested subsidiaries’ RSUs, when dilutive. The assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive instruments is included in the diluted net income per common share calculation, if dilutive.

•
Overview

Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
OVERVIEW
Tiptree allocates capital to select small and middle market companies with the mission of building long-term value. Established in 2007, we have a significant track record investing in the insurance sector and across a variety of other industries, including mortgage, specialty finance and shipping. Our largest operating subsidiary, Fortegra, is a leading provider of specialty insurance products and related services. We also generate earnings from a diverse group of select investments that we refer to as Tiptree Capital, which includes our Mortgage segment and other, non-insurance businesses and assets. We evaluate performance primarily by the comparison of stockholders’ long-term total return on capital, as measured by growth in stock price plus dividends paid, in addition to Adjusted Net Income.
Our first quarter of 2025 highlights include:
Overall:
•
Tiptree reported net income of $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.1 million in the prior year period, driven by growth in Fortegra’s underwriting and fee income, which was more than offset by lower net realized and unrealized investments gains, and incremental interest expense on $74.8 million of outstanding borrowings at the holding company level. Return on average equity was 4.8%, compared to 8.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•
Adjusted net income of $23.3 million increased from $20.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by growth in insurance operations. Adjusted return on average equity was 20.0%, as compared to 19.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Insurance:
•
Gross written premiums and premium equivalents were $753.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $89.8 million, or 13.5%, from the prior year period as a result of growth in E&S insurance lines in the U.S. and Europe.
•
Net written premiums were $357.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 12.4%, driven by growth in gross written premiums.
•
Total revenues were $480.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 0.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by premium growth in specialty E&S and admitted insurance lines in the U.S. and Europe.
•
Combined ratio of 89.9%, driven by consistent underwriting performance and the scalability of Fortegra’s operating platform.
•
Income before taxes of $38.1 million as compared to $36.8 million in 2024, with the increase driven by growth in underwriting and fee revenues. Return on average equity was 17.7% in 2025 as compared to 22.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•
Adjusted net income (before NCI) was $40.5 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 18.6%, from the three months ended March 31, 2024. Adjusted return on average equity was 25.0%, as compared to 28.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•
Fortegra’s total stockholders’ equity was $667.9 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $625.5 million as of December 31, 2024, with the increase driven by growth in retained earnings and a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss position.
Tiptree Capital:
•
Mortgage loss before taxes was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to income of $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, with the decrease driven by the negative fair value adjustments in mortgage servicing rights and lower origination volumes, partially offset by higher loan servicing fees.

Key Trends:
Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and GDP growth, market liquidity and volatility, consumer confidence, U.S. demographics, employment and wage growth, business confidence and investment, inflation, interest rates and spreads, the impact of the regulatory environment, and the other factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Generally, our businesses are positively affected by a healthy U.S. consumer, stable to gradually rising interest rates, stable markets and business conditions, and global growth and trade flows. Conversely, rising unemployment, volatile markets, rapidly rising interest rates, inflation, changing regulatory requirements, economic uncertainty arising from the imposition of tariffs, and slowing business conditions can have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Insurance results primarily depend on pricing, underwriting, risk retention and the accuracy of reserves, reinsurance arrangements, returns on invested assets, and policy and contract renewals and run-off. Factors affecting these items, including conditions in financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, including the current period of inflationary pressures, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Fortegra designs, markets and underwrites specialty property and casualty insurance products for select target markets or niches. The business has historically generated significant fee-based revenues by incorporating value-add coverages and services. Underwriting risk is mitigated through a combination of reinsurance and sliding scale commission structures with agents, distribution partners and/or third-party reinsurers. To mitigate counterparty risk, Fortegra ensures its reinsurance receivables are placed with highly rated and appropriately capitalized counterparties or with our distribution partners’ captive insurance vehicles which are collateralized with highly liquid investments, cash or letters of credit. While Fortegra’s insurance operations have historically maintained a relatively stable combined ratio, initiatives to change the business mix along with these economic factors could generate different results than the business has historically experienced. In particular, inflation can have an impact on replacement costs associated with claims from our customers to the extent we are unable to pass the higher costs of claims through higher premiums. In addition, fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, including the British pound and Euro, would have an impact on book value between periods.
Fortegra’s investment portfolio includes fixed maturity securities, loans, credit investment funds, and equity securities. Many of those investments are held at fair value. From 2021 to 2024, the U.S. fixed income markets experienced a significant rise in interest rates. Rising interest rates have and could continue to impact the value of Fortegra’s fixed maturity securities, with any unrealized losses recorded in equity, and if realized, could impact our results of operations. Offsetting the impact of a rising interest rate environment, new investments in fixed rate instruments from both maturities and portfolio growth have and could continue to result in higher net interest income on investments. The weighted average duration of our fixed income available for sale securities is less than three years. While our asset and liability mix is relatively matched, should we need to liquidate any of these investments before maturity to pay claims, any realized losses could materially negatively impact our results of operations. Changes in fair value for loans, credit investment funds, and equity securities in Fortegra’s investment portfolio are reported as unrealized gains or losses in revenues and can be impacted by changes in interest rates, credit risk, currency risk, or market risk, including specific company or industry factors. In addition, our equity holdings are relatively concentrated. General equity market trends, along with company and industry specific factors, can impact the fair value which can result in unrealized gains and losses affecting our results.
Elevated 10-year treasury yields, and the tapering of the Federal Reserve’s purchases of mortgage-backed securities, has resulted in substantial increases in mortgage interest rates. Low mortgage interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve intervention in mortgage markets, and rising home prices in certain markets, provided tailwinds to the mortgage markets in 2020 and 2021, which benefited our mortgage operations and margins. The substantial rise in rates resulted in a sharp reversal of those trends, with volumes and margins declining significantly. Only partially offsetting the declines in mortgage originations is an increase in the fair value of our mortgage servicing portfolio as rising rates slow prepayment speeds, with a resulting increase in servicing income. Continued elevated mortgage rates could have a negative impact on our mortgage operations, and is likely to be only partially mitigated by the improvement in mortgage servicing revenues. A sustained period of negative profitability in the mortgage industry could also impact the availability of funding sources for our mortgage business.
Rising interest rates can also impact the cost of floating interest rate debt obligations, while declining rates can decrease the cost of debt. Our secured revolving and term credit agreements, preferred trust securities and asset based revolving financing are all floating rate obligations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a summary of our condensed consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and
49
2024. In addition to GAAP results, management uses the Non-GAAP measures Adjusted net income, Adjusted return on average equity and book value per share as measurements of operating performance. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and comparison among companies.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Return on Average Equity.
Adjusted net income
is defined as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. The calculation of adjusted net income excludes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) that relate to investments or assets rather than business operations. Adjusted return on average equity represents adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. We believe adjusted net income provides additional clarity on the results of the Company’s underlying business operations as a whole for the periods presented by excluding distortions created by the unpredictability and volatility of realized and unrealized gains (losses). We also believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance between periods and for comparison among companies.
Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of these measures to their GAAP equivalents.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues were $497.4 million, which decreased $0.8 million, or 0.2%, compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily driven by growth in earned premiums, net, and higher investment income, more than offset by declines in service and administrative fees, and lower net realized and unrealized gains.
The table below provides a break down between net realized and unrealized gains and losses from Invesque and other securities which impacted our consolidated results on a pre-tax basis. Many investments are carried at fair value and marked to market through unrealized gains and losses. As a result, we expect earnings related to these investments to be relatively volatile between periods. Fixed income securities are primarily marked to market through AOCI in stockholders’ equity and do not impact net realized and unrealized gains and losses until they are sold.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the net income attributable to common stockholders was $5.6 million, compared to $9.1 million in the prior year period, driven by growth in Fortegra’s underwriting and fee income, which was more than offset by lower net realized and unrealized investments gains, and incremental interest expense on $74.8 million of outstanding borrowings at the holding company level.
Adjusted net income & Adjusted return on average equity - Non-GAAP
Adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $23.3 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 13.6%, from the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by growth in our insurance operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, adjusted return on average equity was 20.0%, as compared to 19.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by the increase in adjusted net income.
Book Value per share - Non-GAAP
Total stockholders’ equity was $683.5 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $598.6 million as of March 31, 2024, with the increase driven by comprehensive income over the trailing four quarters, partially offset by net changes in non-controlling interests and preferred dividends paid at Fortegra. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, Tiptree returned $2.3 million to stockholders through dividends paid.
Book value per share for the period ended March 31, 2025 was $12.63, an increase from book value per share of $11.55 as of March 31, 2024, driven by comprehensive income per share, partially offset by dividends paid of $0.49 per share, net changes in non-controlling interests and preferred dividends paid at Fortegra.

Insurance
Our principal operating subsidiary, Fortegra, is a specialty insurance underwriter and service provider, which focuses on niche lines and fee-oriented services. The combination of specialty insurance underwriting, service contract products, and related service solutions delivered through a vertically integrated business model creates a blend of traditional underwriting revenues, investment income and unregulated fee revenues. The business is an agent-driven model, distributing products through independent insurance agents, consumer finance companies, online retailers, auto dealers, and regional big box retailers to deliver products that complement the consumer transaction.
As of March 31, 2025, Fortegra was owned approximately 79.1% by Tiptree, 17.7% by Warburg and 3.2% by management and directors of Fortegra, before giving effect to the exercise of outstanding warrants and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock. The following tables and discussion present the Insurance segment results, including non-controlling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Components of our Results of Operations
Revenues
Earned Premiums, net
represents the earned portion of gross written and assumed premiums, less the earned portion that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under reinsurance agreements. Fortegra’s insurance policies generally have a term of six months to seven years depending on the underlying product and premiums are earned pro rata over the term of the policy. At the end of each reporting period, premiums written but not earned are classified as unearned premiums and are earned in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy.
Service and Administrative Fees
represent the earned portion of gross written premiums and premium equivalents, which is generated from non-insurance products including warranty service contracts, motor club contracts and other services offered as part of Fortegra’s vertically integrated product offerings. Such fees are typically positively correlated with transaction volume and are recognized as revenue when realized and earned. At the end of each reporting period, gross written premiums and premium equivalents written for service contracts not earned are classified as deferred revenue, which are earned in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy.
Ceding Commissions and Other Revenue
consists of commissions earned on policies written on behalf of third-party insurance companies with no exposure to the insured risk and certain fees earned in conjunction with underwriting policies. Other revenue also includes the interest income earned on the premium finance product offering.
Net Investment Income
represents earned investment income on our portfolio of invested assets. Our invested assets are primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities, and may also include cash and cash equivalents and equity securities. The principal factors that influence net investment income are the size of our investment portfolio, the yield on that portfolio and expenses due to external investment managers. The insurance investment portfolio includes investments held in statutory insurance companies and in unregulated entities. The portfolios held in statutory insurance companies are subject to different regulatory considerations, including with respect to types of assets, concentration limits, affiliate transactions and the use of leverage.
52
Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
on investments are a function of the difference between the amount received by us on the sale of a security and the security’s cost-basis, as well as any “other-than-temporary” impairments and allowances for credit losses which are recognized in earnings. In addition, equity securities and certain other investments are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in this line. Fortegra’s investment strategy is designed to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns across select asset classes, sectors and geographies while maintaining adequate liquidity to meet claims payment obligations. As such, volatility from realized and unrealized gains and losses may impact period-over-period performance. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and loans held at fair value impact current period net income, while unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities impact AOCI.
Expenses
Net Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
represent actual insurance claims paid, changes in unpaid claim reserves, net of amounts ceded and the costs of administering claims for insurance lines. Incurred claims are impacted by loss frequency, which is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity, which is based on the average size of claims. Factors affecting loss frequency and loss severity include the volume of underwritten contracts, changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, economic conditions, morbidity patterns and the attitudes of claimants towards settlements, and original pricing of the product for purposes of the loss ratio in relation to loss emergence over time. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods.
Member Benefit Claims
represent the costs of services and replacement devices incurred in warranty and motor club service contracts. Member benefit claims represent claims paid on behalf of contract holders directly to third-party providers for roadside assistance and for the repair or replacement of covered products. Claims can also be paid directly to contract holders as a reimbursement payment, provided supporting documentation of loss is submitted to the Company. Claims are recognized as expense when incurred.
Commission Expenses
reflect commissions paid to retail agents, program administrators and managing general underwriters, net of ceding commissions received on business ceded under certain reinsurance contracts. Commission expenses are deferred and amortized to expense in proportion to the premium earned over the policy life. Commission expense is incurred on most product lines. The majority of commissions are retrospective commissions paid to agents, distributors and retailers selling the Company’s products, including credit insurance policies, warranty service contracts and motor club memberships. When claims increase, in most cases distribution partners bear the risk through a reduction in their retrospective commissions. Commission rates are, in many cases, set by state regulators, such as in credit and collateral protection programs and are also impacted by market conditions and the retention levels of distribution partners.
Operating and Other Expenses
represent the general and administrative expenses of insurance operations including employee compensation and benefits and other expenses, including, technology costs, office rent, and professional services fees, such as legal, accounting and actuarial services.
Interest Expense
consists primarily of interest expense on corporate revolving debt, notes, preferred trust securities and asset based debt for premium finance and warranty service contract financing, which is non-recourse to Fortegra.
Depreciation Expense
is primarily associated with furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Amortization Expense
is primarily associated with purchase accounting amortization including values associated with acquired customer relationships, trade names and internally developed software and technology.
Key Performance Metrics
We discuss certain key performance metrics, described below, which provide useful information about our business and the operational factors underlying its financial performance.
53
Gross written premiums and premium equivalents
represent total gross written premiums from insurance policies and warranty service contracts issued during a reporting period. They represent the volume of insurance policies written or assumed and warranty service contracts issued during a specific period of time without reduction for policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs or other deductions. Gross written premiums is a volume measure commonly used in the insurance industry to compare sales performance by period. Premium equivalents are used to compare sales performance of warranty service and administrative contract volumes to gross written premiums. Similar to how management considers gross written premiums to be a relevant measure of volume, regardless of the impact of reinsurance on net earned premiums, management considers premium equivalents to be a relevant measure of contract volume, regardless of whether the Company retains the full obligation. Investors also use these measures to compare sales growth among comparable companies, while management uses these measures to evaluate the relative performance of various sales channels.
Net written premiums
are gross written premiums less ceded written premiums. Gross written premiums are the amounts received, or to be received, for insurance policies written or assumed by us during a specific period of time without reduction for policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs or other deductions. The volume of our gross written premiums in any given period is generally influenced by new business submissions, binding of new business submissions into policies, renewals of existing policies, and average size and premium rate of bound policies. Ceded written premiums are the amount of gross written premiums ceded to reinsurers. We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential large losses. Ceded written premiums are earned over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. The volume of our ceded written premiums is impacted by the level of our gross written premiums and any decision we make to increase or decrease retention levels, policy limits and co-participations.
Combined Ratio, Loss Ratio, Acquisition Ratio, Underwriting Ratio and Operating Expense Ratio
Combined ratio is an operating measure, which equals the sum of the underwriting ratio and the operating expense ratio. Loss ratio is the ratio of the GAAP line items net losses and loss adjustment expenses and member benefit claims to earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees (excluding ceding fees), and other revenue (excluding cash and cash equivalent interest income). Acquisition ratio is the ratio of the GAAP line items commission expense (less ceding fees and ceding commissions) to earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees (excluding ceding fees), and other revenue (excluding cash and cash equivalent interest income). Underwriting ratio is the combination of the loss ratio and the acquisition ratio. Operating expense ratio is the ratio of the GAAP line items employee compensation and benefits and other expenses to earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees (excluding ceding fees) and other revenue (excluding cash and cash equivalent interest income).
A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss. These ratios are commonly used in the insurance industry as a measure of underwriting profitability, excluding earnings on the insurance portfolio. Investors commonly use these measures to compare underwriting performance among companies separate from the performance of the investment portfolio. Management uses these measures to compare the profitability of various products we underwrite as well as profitability among our various agents and sales channels.
Return on average equity
is expressed as the ratio of net income to average stockholders’ equity during the period. Management uses this ratio as a measure of the on-going performance of the totality of the Company’s operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underwriting and Fee Revenues and Underwriting and Fee Margin
In order to better explain to investors the underwriting performance of the Company’s programs and the respective retentions between the Company and its agents and reinsurance partners, we use the non-GAAP metrics – underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin. We generally manage our exposure to the risks we underwrite using both reinsurance (e.g., quota share and excess of loss) and sliding scale commission agreements with our agents (e.g., commissions paid are adjusted based on the actual underlying losses incurred), which mitigates our risk. Generally, when losses are incurred, the risk which is retained by our agents and reinsurers is reflected in a reduction in commissions paid.
Underwriting and fee revenues
represents earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees (excluding ceding fees) and other income (excluding cash and cash equivalent interest income). We reconcile underwriting and fee revenues as total revenues excluding net investment income, net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses), ceding fees, ceding commissions and cash and cash equivalent interest income as reported in other income. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of underwriting and fee revenues to total revenues in accordance with GAAP.
Underwriting and fee margin
represents income before taxes excluding net investment income, net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses), cash and cash equivalent interest income, employee compensation and benefits, other expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We deliver our products and services on a vertically integrated basis to our agents. As
54
such, underwriting and fee margin exclude general and administrative expenses, interest income, depreciation and amortization and other corporate expenses, including income taxes, as these corporate expenses support our vertically integrated delivery model and are not specifically supporting any individual business line. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of underwriting and fee margin to total revenues in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted net income
represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted return on average equity
represents adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. See “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of adjusted return on average equity to return on average equity in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues - Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total revenues increased 0.4%, to $480.6 million, as compared to $478.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Earned premiums, net of $363.4 million increased $16.1 million, or 4.6%, driven by growth in admitted and E&S commercial lines. Earned premiums assumed from other insurance companies were $141.1 million, or 38.8% of the total, compared to $141.3 million, or 40.7% of the total, in the prior year period. As it expands to new geographies and expands product offerings, the Company works to obtain necessary licenses and intends to write this business directly upon
55
obtaining necessary licenses. The Company views direct written and assumed business as having similar characteristics. For the presented periods, earned premiums, net, did not include any significant regional geographic concentrations. Service and administrative fees of $97.3 million decreased by 11.9% driven by decrease in warranty and consumer goods service contract revenues in U.S. and Europe. Ceding commissions of $3.6 million increased by $0.9 million, or 32.4%. Other revenues decreased by $0.7 million, or 8.5%, driven by decrease in interest income on cash equivalents and premium finance product offerings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 22.6% of revenues were derived from fees that were not solely dependent upon the underwriting performance of Fortegra’s insurance products, resulting in more diversified earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 79.5% of fee-based revenues were generated in non-regulated service companies, with the remainder in regulated insurance companies.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net investment income was $11.7 million as compared to $6.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of $5.0 million driven by increased yields on investments. Net realized and unrealized losses were $3.4 million, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $2.8 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the change in fair value of equity securities and other investments carried at fair value. Unrealized gains on AFS securities impacting OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $9.9 million, driven by positive fair value adjustments on U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government authorities and agencies, corporate bonds and other investments.
Expenses - Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net losses and loss adjustment expenses were $179.8 million, member benefit claims were $29.5 million and commission expense was $151.6 million, as compared to $175.4 million, $32.3 million, and $156.9 million respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net losses and loss adjustment expenses was $4.5 million, or 2.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company experienced favorable prior year development of $4.0 million primarily as a result of lower-than-expected claims in its commercial lines of business. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company experienced unfavorable prior year development of $0.8 million primarily driven by higher-than-expected claim severity in our commercial lines of business, primarily driven by one partner. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, net losses and adjustment expenses included $30.3 million and $1.1 million of net catastrophe losses, respectively, primarily related to the California wildfires for the 2025 period. The decrease in member benefit claims of $2.8 million, or 8.7%, was in line with decrease in service and administrative fees, and driven by moderating inflation on replacement costs and labor rates. Commission expense decreased by $5.3 million, or 3.4%, driven by impacts from sliding scale commission structures, partially offset by the growth in earned premiums.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, employee compensation and benefits were $36.4 million and other expenses were $31.8 million, as compared to $31.5 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $5.0 million, or 15.9%, driven by investments in human capital associated with growth in E&S, admitted and services lines. Other expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 4.0%, driven by a change in fair value of the Fortegra Additional Warrant liability of $2.0 million, in comparison to $4.2 million in three months ended March 31, 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest expense was $8.9 million as compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. On November 7, 2024, Fortegra issued 150.0 million of 9.25% Fixed Rate Resetting Junior Subordinated Notes due November 2064. The proceeds of the 2024 Notes were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under Fortegra’s credit agreement, for insurance company growth capital and general corporate purposes. The increase in interest expense of $1.2 million, or 16.3%, was primarily driven by was primarily driven by the issuance of the new debt.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, depreciation and amortization expense was $4.5 million, including $3.3 million of intangible amortization related to purchase accounting associated with acquisitions of Fortegra in 2014 and additional services businesses from 2019 to 2023, as compared to $5.1 million, including $4.0 million of intangible amortization from purchase accounting in 2024.

The total gross written premiums and premium equivalents of $753.2 million and $663.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were comprised of gross written premiums of $538.7 million and $457.1 million, plus assumed premiums of $127.9 million and $112.7 million, plus gross service and administrative fee additions of $86.6 million and $93.6 million, respectively. See Note (6) Reinsurance Recoverable and Prepaid Reinsurance Premiums and Note (12) Revenue from Contracts with Customers within the respective periods for more information.
Total gross written premiums and premium equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $753.2 million, representing an increase of $89.8 million, or 13.5%. The increase was driven by a combination of factors including expanding Fortegra’s distribution partner network, and growing E&S insurance lines.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Insurance increased by $96.8 million, or 17.0%, driven by growth in specialty commercial lines, including E&S business, partially offset by decline in the personal lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Services decreased by $7.0 million, or 7.5%, driven by lower volume in consumer goods and vehicle service contracts.

Net written premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $357.7 million, representing an increase of $39.5 million, or 12.4%, consistent with growth in gross written premiums. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, commercial lines increased by $45.0 million, or 16.1%, driven by growth in E&S and specialty admitted business. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, personal lines decreased by $5.5 million, or 14.1%, driven by declines in personal credit and auto insurance lines. Property and short-tail lines represented $129.5 million, or 36.2%, of the total net written premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $108.4 million, or 34.1%, for the prior year period. Property and short-tail net written premiums were diversified by geographic location, exposure and risk type with substantial reinsurance protection. As of March 31, 2025, the net loss to the Company in a 1-in-250 year catastrophe event represented approximately 3.9% of Fortegra’s stockholders’ equity. This reported loss includes the impact of incurred losses based on the estimated frequency and severity of potential events, reinstatements premiums, reinsurance recoveries and taxes.
Combined Ratio
The combined ratio was 89.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 90.3% for the prior year period, reflecting the consistent underwriting performance and scalability of the Company’s operating platform. The underwriting ratio was 76.0%, a decrease of 1.5 percentage points from the prior year period, which consists of a loss ratio of 46.4%, compared to 46.3% in the
57
prior year period, and an acquisition ratio of 29.6%, compared to 31.2% in the prior year period. The increase in loss ratio was driven by changes in business mix towards commercial lines and increases in repair and labor costs on vehicle service contracts compared to prior year period, which was offset by the decline in acquisition ratio as a result of swing rate commission structures. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the loss ratio included 6.7 percentage points related to net catastrophe losses as compared to 0.3 percentage points in the prior year period. The primary catastrophic events impacting 2025 were the California wildfires. The operating expense ratio increased 1.1 percentage points to 13.9%, as compared to 12.8% in the prior year period.

Tiptree Capital
Tiptree Capital consists of our Mortgage segment, which includes the operating results of Reliance, our mortgage business, and Tiptree Capital - Other, which consists of our other non-insurance operating businesses and investments.
Mortgage
Through our Mortgage operating subsidiary, Reliance, we originate, sell, securitize and service one-to-four-family, residential mortgage loans, comprised of conforming mortgage loans, Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), Veterans Administration (“VA”), United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and to a lesser extent, non-agency jumbo prime.
We are an approved seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We are also an approved issuer and servicer for Ginnie Mae. We originate residential mortgage loans through our retail distribution channel (directly to consumers) in 39 states and the District of Columbia as of March 31, 2025.
Components of our Results of Operations
Revenues
Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
include gains on sale of mortgage loans and the fair value adjustment in mortgage servicing rights. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans represent the difference between the selling price and carrying value of loans sold and are recognized upon settlement. Such gains also include the changes in fair value of loans held for sale and loan-related hedges and derivatives. We transfer the risk of loss or default to the loan purchaser, however, in some cases we are required to indemnify purchasers for losses related to non-compliance with borrowers’ creditworthiness and collateral requirements. Because of this, we recognize gains on sale net of required indemnification and premium recapture reserves. The fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights represents fair value adjustments considering estimated prepayments and other factors associated with changes in interest rates, plus actual run-off in the servicing portfolio. We report these adjustments separate from servicing income and servicing expense.
Other Revenue
includes loan origination fees, interest income, and mortgage servicing income. Loan origination fees are earned as mortgage loans are funded. Servicing fees are earned over the life of the loan. Interest income includes interest earned on loans held for sale and interest income on bank balances and short-term investments.
Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits
includes salaries, commissions, benefits, bonuses, other incentive compensation and related taxes for employees. Commissions expense for sales staff generally varies with loan origination volumes.
Interest Expense
represents borrowing costs under warehouse and other credit facilities used primarily to fund loan originations. Amortization of deferred financing costs, including commitment fees, is included in interest expense.
Depreciation
is mainly associated with furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Amortization
is primarily associated with a trade name and internally developed software.
Other Expenses
include loan origination expenses, namely, leads, appraisals, credit reporting and licensing fees, general and administrative expenses, including office rent, insurance, legal, consulting and payroll processing expenses, and servicing expense.

Corporate expenses include expenses of the holding company for employee compensation and benefits, interest expense, and public company and other expenses. Corporate employee compensation and benefits includes the expense of management, legal and accounting staff. Other expenses primarily consisted of audit and professional fees, insurance, office rent and other related expenses.
Employee compensation and benefits, including incentive compensation expense, were $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $8.4 million for the prior year period, driven by an increase in accrued incentive compensation expense. Of the incentive compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025, $6.9 million was stock-based compensation expense, compared to $3.1 million in 2024. The interest expense was $1.2 million as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025 the outstanding borrowing on the facility was $74.8 million compared to no outstanding borrowings in 2024. Other expenses declined to $1.9 million driven primarily by decreased professional fees.
Provision for Income Taxes
The total income tax expense of $12.4 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is reflected as a component of net income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was equal to 48.8% and 46.5%, respectively, with both significantly higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0%, primarily due to the impact of outside basis deferred taxes on Tiptree’s investment in Fortegra.
On April 15, 2024, the Company sold its 16.98 million shares of Invesque for $0.6 million of proceeds resulting in a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $106.8 million.
Tiptree owns less than 80% of Fortegra and is required to record deferred taxes on the outside basis on its investment in Fortegra. This deferred tax liability represents the tax that would be due, before consideration of loss carryforwards, if Tiptree were to sell all of its Fortegra stock at its carrying value on Tiptree’s balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2025, the deferred tax liability relating to Fortegra was $91.8 million, which was an increase of $7.1 million from the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $2.3 million of expense was recorded in OCI, and $4.7 million expense was recorded as a provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2024, the deferred tax liability relating to Fortegra was $65.6 million, which was an increase of $3.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $0.5 million benefit was recorded in OCI, and $4.5 million expense was recorded as a provision for income taxes. Excluding the impact of these deferred taxes, the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 30.2% and 31.5%, respectively.
Balance Sheet Information
Tiptree’s total assets were $5,819.5 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $5,694.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The $124.7 million increase in assets is primarily attributable to the growth in the Insurance segment.
Total stockholders’ equity was $683.5 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $656.8 million as of December 31, 2024, with the increase primarily driven by comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there were 37,493,883 shares of common stock outstanding as compared to 37,255,838 shares as of December 31, 2024, with the increase driven by the vesting of share-based incentive compensation.
62

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In addition to GAAP results, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin in order to better explain to investors the underwriting performance and the respective retentions between the Company and its agents and reinsurance partners. We also use the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as measures of operating performance and as part of our resource and capital allocation process, to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and to compare relative performance among comparable companies. Adjusted net income, adjusted return on average equity, underwriting and fee revenues and underwriting and fee margin are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for earned premiums, net income or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP.
Underwriting and Fee Revenues and Underwriting and Fee Margin — Non-GAAP (Insurance only)
Underwriting and Fee Revenues — Non-GAAP
— We define underwriting and fee revenues as earned premiums, net, service and administrative fees (excluding ceding fees) and other income (excluding cash and cash equivalent interest income). We reconcile underwriting and fee revenues as total revenues excluding net investment income, net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses), ceding fees, ceding commissions and cash and cash equivalent interest income as reported in other income. Underwriting and fee revenues represents revenues generated by our underwriting and fee-based operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. We use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. Underwriting and fee revenues should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting and fee revenues differently.

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

Adjusted Net Income — Non-GAAP
We define adjusted net income as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting, all of which is reduced for non-controlling interests. The calculation of adjusted net income excludes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) that relate to investments or assets rather than business operations. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently. Adjusted net income (before NCI) is presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests.
We present adjustments for amortization associated with acquired intangible assets. The intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting in connection with Tiptree’s acquisition of Fortegra Financial in 2014, and additional services businesses from 2019 to 2024. The intangible assets acquired contribute to overall revenue generation, and the respective purchase accounting adjustments will continue to occur in future periods until such intangible assets are fully amortized in accordance with the respective amortization periods required by GAAP.
Adjusted Return on Average Equity — Non-GAAP
We define adjusted return on average equity as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. See “—Adjusted Net Income—Non-GAAP” above. Adjusted return on average equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on average equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on average equity differently.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and other liquid investments, the Tiptree Credit Agreement and distributions from operating subsidiaries, including income from our investment portfolio and sales of assets and investments. We intend to use our cash resources to continue to fund our operations and grow our businesses. We may seek additional sources of cash to fund acquisitions or investments. These additional sources of cash may take the form of debt or equity and may be at the parent, subsidiary or asset level. We are a holding company, and our liquidity needs are primarily for compensation, professional fees, office rent and insurance costs.
Our subsidiaries’ ability to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make cash distributions will be subject to numerous business and other factors, including restrictions contained in agreements for the strategic investment by Warburg in Fortegra, our subsidiaries’ financing agreements, regulatory restrictions, availability of sufficient funds at such subsidiaries, general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and other factors such as target capital ratios and ratio levels anticipated by rating agencies to maintain or improve current ratings. We expect our cash and cash equivalents and distributions from operating subsidiaries, our subsidiaries’ access to financing, and sales of investments to be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, as well as the long term.
As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, were $342.3 million, compared to $320.1 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $22.2 million, primarily driven by the issuance of debt at the holding company.
Our mortgage business relies on short term uncommitted sources of financing as a part of their normal course of operations. To date, we have been able to obtain and renew uncommitted warehouse credit facilities. If we were not able to obtain financing, then we may need to draw on other sources of liquidity to fund our mortgage business. See Note (9) Debt, net in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our insurance and mortgage borrowings.
We believe that cash flow from operations will provide sufficient capital to continue to grow the business and fund interest on the outstanding debt, capital expenditures and other general corporate needs over the next several years. As we continue to expand our business, including by any acquisitions we may make, we may, in the future, require additional working capital for increased costs.
For purposes of determining enterprise value, we consider corporate credit agreements and preferred trust securities, which we refer to as corporate debt, as corporate financing and associated interest expense is added back. The below table outlines this amount by debt outstanding and interest expense at the insurance company and corporate level.

On February 7, 2025, we entered into the Tiptree Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Tiptree Holdings borrowed $75.0 million to, among other things, fund working capital and general corporate purposes.
The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all loans under the Tiptree Credit Agreement will mature on February 7, 2028.
As of March 31, 2025, a total of $36.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit in our insurance business as compared to no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit in our insurance business as of December 31, 2024. The maximum borrowing capacity under the agreements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $200.0 million.
On November 7, 2024, Fortegra issued $150.0 million of 9.25% Fixed Rate Resetting Junior Subordinated Notes due November 2064 (“the 2024 Notes”). The proceeds of the 2024 Notes were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s credit agreement, for insurance company growth capital and general corporate purposes. Beginning on November 15, 2029, the Company may redeem the 2024 Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
