Allowance for Credit Losses of Available-for-Sale Fixed-Maturity Securities

The Company regularly reviews its individual investment securities for credit impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether a credit loss exists for each individual security, including-

the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;
the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost;
general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors and other qualitative factors;
nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and
the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

The table below summarizes the activity in the allowance for credit losses of available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

Since January 1, 2023, a Tampa office building property that was previously leased to an unaffiliated company has been used in operations by the Company and serves as TTIG’s corporate headquarters. As a result, in January 2023, $8,135 was reclassified out of real estate investments to property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheet.

On March 31, 2023, the Company closed on its agreement to sell the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida for a price of $18,500, and also closed on its agreement to sell the retail shopping center investment property in Sorrento, Florida for a price of $13,418. See additional information under f) Net Investment Income below.

On September 19, 2023, Grove Haines City, LLC, a real estate subsidiary of Greenleaf Capital, LLC, acquired vacant land in Haines City, Florida and its associated leases for $3,393, including acquisition costs of $100, and assumed a liability of $4. Of the total costs, $1,582 was recognized as real estate investments. See Note 10 -- “Intangible Assets, Net” for information about the acquired leases. The land will be developed into a retail shopping center to be anchored by a well-known grocery store chain. The transaction was determined to be an asset acquisition. Thus, acquisition-related costs were capitalized and allocated among the assets acquired.

On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase commercial real estate in Tampa, Florida for a price of $12,824 and, contemporaneously, the seller entered into a second contract to lease the property back from the Company at a below market rate. As a result, the below market value of $4,446 was added to the purchase price for a total cost of $17,270 before being allocated among the assets acquired under asset acquisition guidance. See Note 18 – “Leases” for additional information.

In May 2022, the Company sold one outparcel in Sorrento, Florida for net proceeds of $667. On July 1, 2022, the Company closed on its agreement to sell 1.5 acres of land in Tampa, Florida for net proceeds of $14,500 to the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) in connection with an eminent domain proceeding for a planned road improvement project. See additional information under f) Net Investment Income below.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to real estate investments was $1,147, $1,956 and $1,922, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and was included in net investment income on the consolidated statements of income.
