(1)         Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”).

(2)         Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

(3)         Government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs’) are private enterprises established and chartered by the Federal Government or its various insurance and lease programs which carry the full faith and credit obligation of the U.S. Government.  

 

The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities available-for-sale at December 31, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. CMOs and MBSs are shown separately, as they are not due at a single maturity.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses on fixed maturities available-for-sale at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 relate to investment grade securities and are attributable to changes in market interest rates. Because the Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will have to sell such investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2015.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $640,902,000, $355,740,000 and $563,285,000, respectively, and the company realized gross gains of $6,412,000, $9,289,000 and $21,889,000, respectively, and gross losses of $805,000, $741,000 and $2,902,000, respectively, on those sales.

 

We recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses in earnings in the period that we determine: 1) we intend to sell the security; 2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or 3) the security has a credit loss. Any non-credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company recognized $228,000 of other-than-temporary impairment losses in earnings on equity securities available-for-sale during the year ended December 31, 2015 due to the length of time and extent an equity security was below cost. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities in 2014 or 2013. Credit losses were recognized on certain fixed maturities for which each security also had an impairment loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The rollforward of these credit losses were as follows for the years indicated (in thousands):

The after-tax portion of other-than-temporary impairments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2015 and 2014 consists of $276,000 and $335,000, respectively, related to CMO securities.
