Operating Segment Data

Tiptree is a holding company that allocates capital across a broad spectrum of businesses, assets and other investments. Tiptree’s principal operating subsidiary and primary source of earnings, Tiptree Insurance, along with its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of specialty insurance, warranty products and related administration services. We classify our business into one reportable segment – Tiptree Insurance, formally referred to as Specialty Insurance. This change for the year ended December 31, 2019 did not change any previously reported balances. We refer to our non-insurance operations, assets and other investments, which is comprised of our non-reportable operating segments and other business activities, as Tiptree Capital. Corporate activities include holding company interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, and other expenses.

Our reportable segment’s income or loss is reported before income taxes, discontinued operations and non-controlling interests. Segment results incorporate the revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries since they commenced operations or were acquired. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Descriptions of our reportable segment and of Tiptree Capital are as follows:

Tiptree Insurance operations are conducted through Tiptree Insurance, which includes Fortegra Financial Corporation (Fortegra), an insurance holding company incorporated in 1981, and Tiptree Warranty. Fortegra underwrites and administers specialty insurance programs and products, and is a leading provider of credit and asset protection products and administration services. Fortegra’s programs are provided across a diverse range of products and services including credit protection insurance, warranty and service contract products, premium finance, and niche personal and commercial lines of insurance. On January 3, 2020, Tiptree Warranty acquired Smart AutoCare, a rapidly growing vehicle warranty solutions provider in the United States.

Tiptree Capital includes our asset management, mortgage and shipping operations, and other investments (including our Invesque shares).
