FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) or in documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated growth in revenue, earnings per share, estimated unpaid losses on insurance policies, investment returns and expectations about our liquidity, and our ability to meet our investment objectives and to manage and mitigate market risk with respect to our investments. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

 

our limited operating history;

 

the possibility that actual losses may exceed reserves;

 

the concentration of our business in Florida and Hawaii;

 

our exposure to catastrophic events;

 

the fluctuation in our results of operations;

 

increased costs of reinsurance, non-availability of reinsurance, and non-collectability of reinsurance;

 

increased competition, competitive pressures, and market conditions;

 

our failure to accurately price the risks we underwrite;

 

inherent uncertainty of our models and our reliance on such model as a tool to evaluate risk;

 

the failure of our claims department to effectively manage or remediate claims;

 

low renewal rates and failure of such renewals to meet our expectations;

 

our failure to execute our growth strategy, including through expansion into geographic markets in which we do not currently operate;

 

failure of our information technology systems and unsuccessful development and implementation of new technologies;

 

our lack of significant redundancy in our operations;

 

our failure to attract and retain qualified employees and independent agents or our loss of key personnel;

 

our inability to generate investment income;

 

our inability to maintain our financial stability rating;

 

effects of emerging claim and coverage issues relating to legal, judicial, environmental and social conditions;

 

the failure of our risk mitigation strategies or loss limitation methods; and

 

the items set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The forward-looking statements we make in our Form 10-Q are valid only as of the date of our Form 10-Q and may not occur in light of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we describe from time to time in our filings with the SEC. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in our other filings with the SEC. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), which provides personal and commercial residential insurance; Heritage MGA, LLC, the managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of our Florida insurance subsidiary’s business; Contractors’ Alliance Network, LLC (“CAN”), our vendor network manager for Florida claims which includes BRC Restoration Specialists, Inc. (“BRC”), our provider of restoration, emergency and recovery services; Zephyr Acquisition Company (“ZAC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zephyr Insurance Company, Inc. (“Zephyr”), our provider for writing insurance policies for residential wind insurance within the State of Hawaii; Skye Lane Properties, LLC, our property management subsidiary; First Access Insurance Group, LLC, our retail agency; Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”), our reinsurance subsidiary that may provide a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiaries; and Heritage Insurance Claims, LLC, an inactive subsidiary reserved for future development. The assets of BRC, a building restoration company, were acquired and merged into CAN in 2015. The assets of SVM Restoration Services Inc. (“SVM”), a water mitigation company, were acquired and merged into CAN in 2014.

Through our insurance subsidiaries, Heritage P&C and Zephyr, we write personal residential insurance for single-family homeowners and condominium owners, and rental property insurance in the states of Florida, Hawaii, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. We also provide commercial residential insurance for Florida properties and are also licensed in the states of Alabama and Mississippi. We are vertically integrated and control or manage substantially all aspects of insurance underwriting, customer service, actuarial analysis, distribution and claims processing and adjusting. We conduct our operations under a single reporting segment.

The condensed consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company intends to continue to take advantage of some, but not all, of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies until such time that it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company has, however, irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

Changes to significant accounting policies

We have made no material changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 intend to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 requires that companies elect to account for forfeitures based on an estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered or to account for forfeitures as they occur. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The Company adopted the new guidance in ASU 2016-09 in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any excess tax benefits recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, statement of operations or statement of cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements had no impact.

Accounting Pronouncements

The Company describes below recent pronouncements that may have a significant effect on its financial statements or on its disclosures upon future adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as it is not the Company’s practice to change either the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards once they are granted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 intend to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides additional guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the new guidance would define this as an asset acquisition; otherwise, the entity then evaluates whether the asset meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 is a new accounting standard that will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This updated guidance is effective on January 1, 2018, and will require adoption on a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company has not experienced any transactions that are within the scope of this guidance and accordingly will evaluate the effect of this guidance further if and when any such transactions occur.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset in order to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The guidance also amends the current accounting for other-than-

7

 


 

temporary impairment model by requiring an estimate of the expected credit loss only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an available for sale debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a potential credit loss exists. The available for sale debt security model will also require the use of a valuation allowance as compared to the current practice of writing down the asset. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The ASU 2016-01, which will significantly change the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity, and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) and an assessment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available for sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The effect of adopting this guidance will be principally affected by the level of unrealized gains or losses associated with equity investments with readily determinable market values. Such unrealized gains or losses will be recognized upon adoption as a cumulative-effect adjustment with future unrealized gains or losses reflected in the statement of income and comprehensive income. Refer to Note 3 for the current status of such unrealized gains and losses levels that are currently recognized as other comprehensive income.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is not applicable to insurance contracts. The ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue as performance obligations are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, while the Company is in the early stages of evaluating the effect of adopting this new guidance, the Company believes the application of this guidance will be less complex in relation to any non-insurance contracts.

There are no other recently issued accounting standards that apply to the Company or that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION

On March 21, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of ZAC and acquired 100% of its outstanding stock and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zephyr, in exchange for approximately $110.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Zephyr is a specialty property insurance provider that offers policies for residential customers in Hawaii that only cover the peril of windstorm-hurricane events.

The purchase consideration for this acquisition has been allocated to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired, including approximately $31.8 million in identifiable intangible assets (primarily value of business acquired (“VOBA”), brand, customer relationships and trade name), and a residual amount of goodwill of approximately $38.4 million. This acquisition furthers the Company’s strategic push to diversify business operations and achieve potential reinsurance synergies while expanding growth opportunities outside of Florida.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase consideration.
