1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of The Hagerty Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Hagerty Group, LLC (“THG”) is majority owned by Hagerty Holding Corp. (“HHC”), with Markel Corporation (“Markel”) holding a minority interest. HHC and Markel collectively are the Members of THG (“Members”). Prior to June 2019, the Company was wholly owned by HHC. The Company operates several entities which collectively support the revenue streams listed below:

 

The Company earns commission revenues for the distribution and servicing of classic automobile and boat insurance policies written through personal and commercial lines agency agreements with multiple insurance carriers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

 

Reinsurance premiums are earned in Hagerty Reinsurance Limited (“Hagerty Re”) which is registered as a Class 3A reinsurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978. Hagerty Re solely reinsures the classic auto and marine risks written through its affiliated managing general agent entities (“MGAs”) in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

 

oThe business produced by the U.S. MGAs is written by Essentia Insurance Company (“Essentia”) and reinsured with its affiliate Evanston Insurance Company (“Evanston”). In turn, Hagerty Re assumes premiums through a quota share agreement with Evanston. Essentia and Evanston are wholly owned subsidiaries of Markel.

 

oIn 2020, Hagerty Re entered into a reinsurance agreement with Aviva Canada, Inc. (“Aviva”) to reinsure classic auto and marine risks produced by its Canadian affiliate MGA.

 

 

o

 

 

 

In 2021, Hagerty Re entered into a reinsurance agreement with Markel International Insurance Company Limited to reinsure classic auto risks produced by its affiliate MGA in the United Kingdom. In connection with this new treaty, Hagerty Re purchased reinsurance to limit its liability to £1,000,000 per claim as United Kingdom (“U.K.”) law requires unlimited liability coverage. Markel International Insurance Company Limited is an affiliate of Markel.

 

The Company earns subscription revenue through membership offerings and other automotive services sold to policyholders and classic vehicle enthusiasts. Membership offerings include but are not limited to private label roadside assistance, digital and linear video content, our award-winning magazine, valuation services, members-only events and exclusive automotive third-party discounts. Additionally, the Company owns and operates collector vehicle events, earning revenue through admission income and sponsorships, as well as event registration service fees on behalf of automotive and motorsport organizations to manage credentials. Revenue is also derived from the sale of merchandise and operation of a peer-to-peer classic vehicle rental business for auto enthusiasts. In 2020, the Company started a network of experience and storage centers within majority-owned world-class vehicle storage called Member Hubs Holding, LLC (MHH).

Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of THG and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company consolidates MHH, an 80% owned subsidiary, under the voting interest method guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”). The Noncontrolling Interest is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the Statements of Changes in Members’ Equity.

 

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The Company has applied the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and therefore the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of items of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its annual audited financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Business Update Related To COVID-19—In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The pandemic has impacted every geography in which the Company operates. Governments implemented various restrictions around the world, including closure of non-essential businesses, travel, shelter-in-place requirements for citizens and other restrictions.

 

The Company has taken several precautionary steps to safeguard its businesses and team members from COVID-19, including implementing travel restrictions, arranging work from home capabilities and flexible work policies. The safety and well-being of our team members continues to be the top priority. As restrictions were put in place, employees were able to transition to a work from home environment quickly and effectively due to prior technology investments and the Company’s focus on core values. Due to the restrictions and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, 2020 revenue growth was lower than expected primarily caused by lower levels of new business. Offsetting the 2020 revenue shortfall, expenses related to promotional events and travel were lower than anticipated. By the end of 2020 and as of September 2021, new business growth returned to pre-pandemic pace, events were being planned and new initiatives were on track. Management will continue to follow and monitor guidelines in each jurisdiction and is working on a phased transition of employees back to the office.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are considered reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The most significant estimate that is susceptible to notable changes in the near-term relates to the provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (including those losses incurred but not reported (IBNR)). Although some variability is inherent in this estimate, the Company believes that the current estimate is reasonable in all material respects. This estimate is reviewed regularly and adjusted as necessary. Adjustments related to changes in estimates are reflected in the Company’s results of operations in the period in which those estimates changed.

 

Segment Information—The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company’s management approach is to utilize an internally developed strategic decision making framework with the membership patrons at the center of all decisions, which requires the CODM to have a consolidated view of the operations so that decisions can be made in the best interest of Hagerty and its membership patrons.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. Fair value approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature and variable interest rates.

 

Fixed Income Securities – Fixed income securities consist of Canadian provincial and municipal bonds which qualify as debt securities under ASC Topic 320 “Investments – Debt Securities”. Fixed income securities are carried at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Amortized cost is the amount at which an investment is acquired, adjusted for applicable accrued interest, accretion of discount or amortization of premium. Premium or discount is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity. Pricing information for each fixed income security is obtained from our outside investment manager. The Company ultimately determines whether the inputs and the resulting market values are reasonable. Market pricing is based on fair value level 2 guidance using observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

Financial Instruments—In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which relates to accounting for hedging activities. This guidance expands strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, changes how many hedging relationships are presented in the financial statements and simplifies the application of hedge accounting in certain situations.

 

The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-12 effective January 1, 2020. Adoption of the standard enhanced the presentation of the effects of our hedging instruments and the hedged items in our condensed consolidated financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of our hedging strategies.

Media Content—In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, in order to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. ASU 2019-02 also requires that an entity reassess estimates of the use of a film in a film group and account for any changes prospectively. In addition, ASU 2019-02 requires that an entity test films and license agreements for program material for impairment at a film group level when the film or license agreements are predominantly monetized with other films and license agreements. As a result of adopting this ASU on January 1, 2021, the Company will now apply the guidance of ASC Topic 926, “Entertainment – Films” for the original content the Company self-produces and where the intellectual property is owned by the Company. For content the Company produces, the costs associated with production, including development costs, direct costs and production overhead will be capitalized. This will reduce the initial amount charged to expense for development of media content assets as they are created and costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. The net financial impact through September 30, 2021 was $3,000,499 in prepaid expenses and other assets.

 

Convertible Instruments and Contracts — In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain separation models and will generally be reported as a single liability at its amortized cost. In addition, ASU 2020-06 eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2022 with the option to early adopt as of January 1, 2021. The Company elected to early adopt amendments in ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

Credit Losses—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as modified by ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses and ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief.

 

The guidance in ASU No. 2016-13 amends Topic 326, the reporting of credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis, eliminating the probable initial recognition threshold and replacing it with a current estimate of all expected credit losses. Estimated credit losses are recognized as a credit loss allowance reflected in a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net amount expected to be collected. The guidance also addresses available-for-sale securities, whereby credit losses remain measured on an incurred loss basis with the presentation of the credit losses using an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU No. 2019-10 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 to January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases—In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which creates ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), and supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. This guidance increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The guidance requires disclosure to enable users of the condensed consolidated financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The transition to ASU No. 2016-02 requires the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities, defers the effective date of ASU 2016-02 to January 1, 2022. Early application of the amendments in ASU 2016-02 is permitted for all entities. The Company continues to evaluate the effects the adoption of this ASU will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Reference Rate Reform—In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional relief to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Additionally, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The Company does not expect the adoption of these ASUs to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

6. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

 

The Company’s business strategy is to attract high-quality partners to join our operations to provide expanded automotive related offerings to our members. Transactions in which the Company obtains control of a business are treated as business combinations. Acquisitions of an asset, or a group of assets, that does not meet the definition of a business are treated as an asset acquisition.

 

In connection with asset acquisitions, the Company records the estimated value of the net tangible assets purchased and the value of the identifiable intangible assets purchased, which typically consist of purchased customer relationships, the right to renew policies upon expiration of the current policy term (renewal rights) and noncompete agreements.

 

In connection with business combinations, the Company records the estimated value of the net tangible assets purchased and the value of the identifiable intangible assets purchased, which typically consist of purchased internally developed software, customer lists, trademarks and noncompete agreements. The valuation of purchased intangible assets involves significant estimates and assumptions. Until final valuations are complete, any change in assumptions could affect the carrying value of tangible assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

 

Net assets and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements commencing at the respective purchase closing dates for business combinations and asset acquisitions.

 

2021 Business Combinations - On June 22, 2021, the Company purchased the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance event. On July 22, 2021, the MHH Canadian subsidiary purchased the Paddock Motor Club in Toronto, Canada. On August 12, 2021, the Company purchased McCall Motorworks Revival. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions does not materially impact the Company’s reported results, either individually or in the aggregate for each period presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result, no pro forma information has been presented. Additionally, from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2021, the revenue and net income of the businesses acquired did not materially impact the Company’s reported results.

 

2020 Asset Acquisition - The Company completed one acquisition that has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. On March 1, 2020, the Company purchased the renewal rights to the collector insurance policies effective on or after March 1, 2020 from a Canadian insurance brokerage. As part of the transaction, the seller entered into a non-compete agreement with the Company wherein they are prohibited from competing with the Company for a period of five years. Total purchase consideration for the acquisition was $9,671,892, with cash paid at closing of $2,480,634 and estimated current and long-term liabilities of $2,397,086 and $4,794,172, respectively.

Foreign currency translation adjustment   (32,567)   - 
Balance—September 30  $103,591,163   $71,111,610 

 

In updating Hagerty Re’s loss reserve estimates, inputs are considered and evaluated from many sources, including actual claims data, the performance of prior reserve estimates, observed industry trends, and internal review processes, including the views of the Company’s actuary. These inputs are used to improve evaluation techniques and to analyze and assess the change in estimated ultimate losses for each accident year by line of business. These analyses produce a range of indications from various methods, from which an actuarial point estimate is selected.

 

10. INTEREST RATE SWAP

 

Interest rate swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

THE HAGERTY GROUP, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

The purpose of the swap agreement is to fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s existing variable rate debt to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Under the agreement, the Company pays the counterparty interest at a fixed rate. The counterparty will pay the Company interest at a variable rate, adjusted quarterly and based on LIBOR or the alternative replacement of LIBOR. The amount exchanged is calculated based on the notional amount. Amounts shown below:

 

       September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an   Notional Amount  $15,000,000   $15,000,000 
original notional amount of $15,000,000 at a fixed rate of 2.20%.   Fair Value  $(158,360)  $(378,043)
               
In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an   Notional Amount  $35,000,000   $35,000,000 
original notional amount of $35,000,000 at a fixed rate of 0.78%.   Fair Value  $253,575   $(423,228)
Net fair value of interest rate swap  $95,215   $(801,271)

 

The significant inputs, primarily the LIBOR forward curve, used to determine the fair value are considered Level 2 observable market inputs. The Company monitors the credit and nonperformance risk associated with its counterparties and believes them to be insignificant at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

11. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

Long-term debt consists of the following as of:

 

   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
The Company has a $160,000,000 credit facility (Credit Facility) with a bank syndicate that may extend each year such that the term of the agreement remains at least three years. The current term of the Credit Facility expires on December 23, 2023, with any unpaid balance due at maturity. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or Prime, plus or minus an applicable margin at the Company's choice. The effective borrowing rate at September 30, 2021 was 2.07%. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by the assets of the Company, except for the assets of the Company's United Kingdom, Bermuda and Germany subsidiaries.          
Effective August 24, 2021, the Company secured commitment letters from its current lenders that will increase the capacity of its current Credit Facility to $230,000,000.  $117,500,000   $68,000,000 
The Company has a note payable related to a business combination for the future purchase installment payments. The note is paid in two equal installments and interest is calculated at a fixed 3.25%. The note payable expires March 1, 2022 at which time the second installment is due.   1,000,000    2,000,000 
Total debt   118,500,000    70,000,000 
Less current portion   (1,000,000)   (1,000,000)

The Credit Facility includes a provision for determining a LIBOR successor rate in the event LIBOR reference rates are no longer available. The alternative benchmark replacement rate is the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR). In addition, the facility includes a provision for determining a SOFR successor rate in the event SOFR reference rates are no longer available. If no SOFR successor rate has been determined, the rate will be based on the higher of the Prime Rate or the fed funds rate plus a fixed margin.

 

In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company is required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants, including a fixed-charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance as of September 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic earnings per unit based on net income attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, divided by the basic weighted average number of units as of September 30, 2021 and 2020. There are no potential dilutive securities and thus no diluted per unit amounts.

 

   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020 
Net income  $5,105,445   $21,651,371 
Less loss attributable to non-controlling interest   (203,673)   (83,339)
Net income attributable to The Hagerty Group, LLC  $5,309,118   $21,734,710 
           
Weighted average units   100,000    100,000 
Earnings per unit  $53.09   $217.35 

 

13. TAXATION

 

Income tax expense reflected in the financial statements differs from the tax computed by applying the statutory US federal rate to net income before taxes for the nine months ended as follows:

 

   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020 
Income tax expense at statutory rate  $2,077,967    21%  $5,333,418    21%
(Income)/loss not subject to                    
entity-level taxes   1,263,563    13%   (2,138,363)   -8%
Foreign rate differential   (173,445)   -2%   (76,870)   0%
Change in valuation allowance   1,621,553    16%   627,670    2%
Income tax expense  $4,789,638    48%  $3,745,855    15%

 

After considering all positive and negative evidence of taxable income in the carryback and carryforward periods as permitted by law, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the foreign net operating losses will not be utilized. The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2021 has been increased for additional foreign net operating losses and adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates. The valuation allowance is $6,714,116 and $4,770,618 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. If recorded, interest and penalties would be recorded as interest expense or penalty expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The Company does not expect any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
