Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation |
Global Indemnity Group, LLC (“Global Indemnity” or “the Company”), a
On August 8, 2022, the Company sold the renewal rights related to all business lines within its Farm, Ranch & Stable segment for business written on or after August 8, 2022 to Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Company. During the 2nd quarter of 2022, the Company decided that Farm, Ranch & Stable would not be a core business and a decision was made to not allocate additional resources to this segment. Previously, on October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which were part of the Specialty Property segment. In 2021, the Company decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the exited lines in a separate segment. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. Accordingly, the Company has three reportable segments: Commercial Specialty, Reinsurance Operations, and Exited Lines. Management believes these segments allow users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand the Company's performance, better assess prospects for future net cash flows and to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. The segment results for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been revised to reflect these changes. See Note 14 for additional information regarding segments.
Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company that is classified as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and meets the qualifying income exception to maintain partnership status.
Global Indemnity Group, LLC owns all shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company.
The insurance companies’ primary activity is providing insurance products across a distribution network that includes binding authority, program, brokerage and reinsurance. The insurance companies are managed through

business, certain business within Property Brokerage, property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties, Farm, Ranch, & Stable business, and specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. Collectively, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Commercial Specialty segment comprises the Company’s Insurance Operations (“Insurance Operations”).
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from those principles followed in reports to insurance regulatory authorities. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Indemnity Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company regularly performs various analytical valuation procedures with respect to its investments, including reviewing each available for sale debt security in an unrealized loss position to assess whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for expected credit losses is recorded. Subsequent changes in the allowances are recorded in the period of change as either credit loss expense or reversal of credit loss expense. Any impairments related to factors other than credit losses and the intent to sell are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
11
GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC
For fixed maturities, the factors considered in reaching the conclusion that a credit loss exists include, among others, whether:
|
(1) |
the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; |
|
(2) |
the issuer is in financial distress; |
|
(3) |
the investment is secured; |
|
(4) |
a significant credit rating action occurred; |
|
(5) |
scheduled interest payments were delayed or missed; |
|
(6) |
changes in laws or regulations have affected an issuer or industry; |
|
(7) |
the investment has an unrealized loss and was identified by the Company’s investment manager as an investment to be sold before recovery or maturity; |
|
(8) |
the investment failed cash flow projection testing to determine if anticipated principal and interest payments will be realized; and |
|
(9) |
changes in US Treasury rates and/or credit spreads since original purchase to identify whether the unrealized loss is simply due to interest rate movement. |
According to accounting guidance for debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company is required to assess whether it has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, any allowance for expected credit losses is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to the fair value of the fixed maturity security with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. That new amortized cost basis shall not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available for sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment and to not measure an allowance for expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest receivable is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payment. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance with other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities was $

Variable Interest Entities
A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) refers to an investment in which an investor holds a controlling interest that is not based on the majority of voting rights. Under the VIE model, the party that has the power to exercise significant management influence and maintain a controlling financial interest in the entity’s economics is said to be the primary beneficiary, and is required to consolidate the entity within their results. Other entities that participate in a VIE, for which their financial interests fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the investment entity’s net assets but do not have significant management influence and the ability to direct the VIE’s significant economic activities are said to have a variable interest in the VIE but do not consolidate the VIE in their financial results.

Derivative Instruments |
Derivatives are used by the Company to reduce risks from changes in interest rates and limit exposure to severe equity market changes. The Company has interest rate swaps with terms to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The Company has also used exchange-traded futures contracts, which give the holder the right and obligation to participate in market movements at a future date, to allow the Company to react faster to market conditions. When using derivatives, the Company posts collateral and settles variation margin in cash on a daily basis equal to the amount of the derivatives’ change in value.
The Company accounts for the interest rate swaps and futures as non-hedge instruments and recognizes the fair value of the interest rate swaps in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with the changes in fair value recognized as net realized investment gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is ultimately responsible for the valuation of the interest rate swaps. To aid in determining the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps, the Company relies on the forward interest rate curve and information obtained from a third party financial institution.

Fair Value Measurements |
The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, outline a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These standards do not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company has determined that its fair value measurements are in accordance with the requirements of these accounting standards.
The Company’s invested assets and derivative instruments are carried at their fair value and are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy:
|
• |
Level 1 – inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
|
• |
Level 2 – inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar assets, either directly or indirectly. |
|
• |
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. |
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

The securities classified as Level 1 in the above table consist of U.S. treasuries and equity securities actively traded on an exchange.
The securities classified as Level 2 in the above table consist of fixed maturities, equity securities, and derivative instruments. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, security prices are derived through recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information. If there are no recent reported trades, matrix or model processes are used to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and mortgage-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of

Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships with ownership interest exceeding 3%
The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships where its ownership interest exceeds
Pricing
The Company’s pricing vendors provide prices for all investment categories except for investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships. Two primary vendors are utilized to provide prices for equity and fixed maturity securities.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company’s pricing vendors for investment securities carried at fair value:
|
• |
Equity security prices are received from primary and secondary exchanges. |
|
• |
Corporate and agency bonds are evaluated by utilizing a spread to a benchmark curve. Bonds with similar characteristics are grouped into specific sectors. Inputs for both asset classes consist of trade prices, broker quotes, the new issue market, and prices on comparable securities. |
|
• |
Data from commercial vendors is aggregated with market information, then converted into an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) matrix and prepayment model used for collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are categorized with mortgage-backed securities in the tables listed above. For asset-backed securities, spread data is derived from trade prices, dealer quotations, and research reports. For both asset classes, evaluations utilize standard inputs plus new issue data, and collateral performance. The evaluated pricing models incorporate cash flows, broker quotes, market trades, historical prepayment speeds, and dealer projected speeds. |
|
• |
For obligations of state and political subdivisions, an attribute-based modeling system is used. The pricing model incorporates trades, market clearing yields, market color, and fundamental credit research. |
|
• |
U.S. treasuries are evaluated by obtaining feeds from a number of live data sources including primary and secondary dealers as well as inter-dealer brokers. |
|
• |
For mortgage-backed securities, various external analytical products are utilized and purchased from commercial vendors. |
22
GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC
The Company performs certain procedures to validate whether the pricing information received from the pricing vendors is reasonable, to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with accounting guidance, and to ensure that its assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s procedures include, but are not limited to:
|
• |
Reviewing periodic reports provided by the Investment Manager that provides information regarding rating changes and securities placed on watch. This procedure allows the Company to understand why a particular security’s market value may have changed or may potentially change. |
|
• |
Understanding and periodically evaluating the various pricing methods and procedures used by the Company’s pricing vendors to ensure that investments are properly classified within the fair value hierarchy. |
|
• |
On a quarterly basis, the Company corroborates investment security prices received from its pricing vendors by obtaining pricing from a second pricing vendor for a sample of securities. |
During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not adjusted quotes or prices obtained from the pricing vendors.

Commitments and Contingencies |
Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for such risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
There is a greater potential for disputes with reinsurers who are in runoff. Some of the Company’s reinsurers’ have operations that are in runoff, and therefore, the Company closely monitors those relationships. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business.

Segment Information |
On August 8, 2022, the Company sold the renewal rights related to all business lines within its Farm, Ranch & Stable segment for business written on or after August 8, 2022 to Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Company. During the 2nd quarter of 2022, the Company decided that Farm, Ranch & Stable would not be a core business and a decision was made to not allocate additional resources to this segment. Previously, on October 26, 2021, the Company sold the renewal rights related to its manufactured and dwelling homes products which were part of the Specialty Property segment. In 2021, the Company decided to cease writing certain Property Brokerage business which was part of the Commercial Specialty segment, as well as exit certain property and catastrophe lines within the Reinsurance Operations segment. Based on the decisions to exit these lines of business, the Company changed the way it manages and analyzes its operating results. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive as well as the Chief Operating Officer, decided they will be reviewing the specific results of the Exited Lines in a separate segment. The chief operating decision makers also determined that the small amount of specialty property business that remained from the Specialty Property segment would be included as programs in the Commercial Specialty segment for purpose of reviewing results and allocating resources. The Reinsurance Operations segment will continue to write casualty and professional treaties as well as individual excess policies. Accordingly, the Company has

COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to present significant risks to the Company. The COVID-19 pandemic may affect the Company’s operations indefinitely. The Company may experience reductions in premium volume, delays in the collection of premiums, and increases in COVID-19 related claims. Any resulting volatility in the global financial markets may negatively impact the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio and may result in net realized investment losses as well as a decline in the liquidity of the investment portfolio. All of these factors may have far reaching impacts on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitation impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, distribution, marketing, customers and agents, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic ends.

Overview
The Company’s Commercial Specialty segment sells its property and casualty insurance products through a group of approximately 205 professional general agencies that have limited quoting and binding authority, as well as a number of wholesale insurance brokers who in turn sell the Company’s insurance products to insureds through retail insurance brokers. Commercial Specialty operates predominantly in the excess and surplus lines marketplace. Commercial Specialty also offers several specialty admitted property and casualty products. The Company manages its Commercial Specialty segment via product classifications. These product classifications are: 1) Penn-America, which includes property and general liability products for small commercial businesses sold through a select network of wholesale general agents with specific binding authority; 2) United National, which includes property, general liability, and professional lines products sold through program administrators with specific binding authority; 3) Diamond State, which includes property, casualty, and professional lines products sold through wholesale brokers and program administrators with specific binding authority; and 4) Vacant Express, which primarily insures dwellings which are currently vacant, undergoing renovation, or are under construction and is sold through aggregators, brokers, and retail agents. The Company has also created several start-up business lines which distribute professional, environmental, and excess casualty products.
The Company’s Reinsurance Operations provides reinsurance solutions through brokers and primary writers including insurance and reinsurance companies. It uses its capital capacity to write niche and casualty-focused treaties and business which meet the Company’s risk tolerance and return thresholds.
The Company’s Exited Lines segment represents lines of business that are no longer being written or are in runoff. Exited Lines includes specialty personal lines property and casualty products such as manufactured home, dwelling, motorcycle, watercraft and certain homeowners business, certain business within Property Brokerage, property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties, Farm, Ranch, & Stable business, and specialized insurance products for the equine mortality and equine major medical industry. These insurance products were distributed through wholesale general agents, wholesale insurance brokers, program administrators, and retail agents.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from premiums paid on insurance policies that it writes and from income generated by its investment portfolio, net of fees paid for investment management services. The amount of insurance premiums that the Company receives is a function of the amount and type of policies it writes, as well as prevailing market prices.
The Company’s expenses include losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, corporate and other operating expenses, interest, investment expenses, and income taxes. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated by management and reflect the Company’s best estimate of ultimate losses and costs arising during the reporting period and revisions of prior period estimates. The Company records its best estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses considering both internal and external actuarial analyses of the estimated losses the Company expects to incur on the insurance policies it writes. The ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses will depend on the actual costs to resolve claims. Acquisition costs consist principally of commissions and premium taxes that are typically a percentage of the premiums on the insurance policies the Company writes, net of ceding commissions earned from reinsurers. Other underwriting expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and general operating expenses related to underwriting activities. Corporate and other operating expenses are comprised primarily of outside legal fees, other professional and accounting fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, and salaries and benefits for company personnel whose services relate to the support of corporate activities. Interest expense is primarily comprised of amounts due on outstanding debt.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The most critical accounting policies involve significant estimates and include those used in determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, recoverability of reinsurance receivables, investments, fair value measurements, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred acquisition costs, and taxation. For a detailed discussion on each of these policies,

please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes to any of these policies or underlying methodologies during the current year.

NM – not meaningful
(1) |
Gross written premiums represent the amount received or to be received for insurance policies written without reduction for reinsurance costs, ceded premiums, or other deductions. |
(2) |
Net written premiums equal gross written premiums less ceded written premiums. |
(3) |
External business only, excluding business assumed from affiliates. |
Gross written premiums increased by 12.3% and 14.5% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to same periods in 2021. The increase in gross written premiums is mainly due to the continued growth of existing programs, increased pricing, and several new programs within Commercial Specialty, the organic growth of existing casualty treaties within Reinsurance Operations, partially offset by a reduction in premiums within Exited Lines.

The net premium retention for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 6.8 points as compared to the same periods in 2021. The reduction in retention is primarily driven by the Company entering into an agreement effective November 30, 2021 where American Family Mutual Insurance Company agreed to reinsure 100% of the Company’s unearned premium reserves of the same types as the policies included in the sale of the renewal rights of the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes products that were in force as of November 30, 2021. See Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 Part II of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on this reinsurance agreement as well as the sale of renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling home products.
Net Earned Premiums
Net earned premiums within the Commercial Specialty segment increased by 16.1% and 16.4% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in net earned premiums was primarily due to a growth in premiums written as a result of organic growth from existing agents, pricing increases, and several new programs. Property net earned premiums were $36.8 million and $34.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $72.3 million and $71.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,

respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $58.3 million and $47.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $114.6 million and $88.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net earned premiums within the Reinsurance Operations segment increased by 113.7% and 111.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to organic growth of existing casualty treaties. There was no property net earned premiums for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Casualty net earned premiums were $38.6 million and $18.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $73.6 million and $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net earned premiums within the Exited Lines segment decreased by 55.5% and 54.8% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to the sale of the renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling home products on October 26, 2021. The decrease in net earned premiums is also due to exiting lines of business unrelated to the company’s continuing businesses. Property net earned premiums were $16.6 million and $43.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $34.2 million and $85.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Casualty net earned premiums were $5.4 million and $6.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $9.8 million and $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Reserves
Management’s best estimate at June 30, 2022 was recorded as the loss reserve. Management’s best estimate is as of a particular point in time and is based upon known facts, the Company’s actuarial analyses, current law, and the Company’s judgment. This resulted in carried gross and net reserves of $804.7 million and $710.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. A breakout of the Company’s gross and net reserves, as of June 30, 2022, is as follows:

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the
43

impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $183.9 million for claims occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends within Commercial Specialty may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

The current accident year catastrophe loss ratio improved by 8.6 points during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due to lower claims frequency and severity in the first six months compared to last year.
The current accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 1.7 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 reflecting higher claims severity in the calendar quarter compared to last year.
The current accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 1.4 points during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher claims severity in the first six months compared to last year.
The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a increase of $0.3 million, or 0.3 percentage points, and a increase of $0.5 million, or 0.3 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.6 percentage points, and a decrease of $3.1 million, or 1.9 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years.

Expense Ratios
The expense ratio for the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment increased by 0.8 points from 37.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to 38.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and increased by 0.3 points from 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the expense ratio is primarily due to higher compensation cost resulting from the start-up business lines partially offset by a reduction in the expense ratio due to growth in net earned premiums.

COVID-19
COVID-19’s lasting impacts could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Commercial Specialty’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.
There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial ratios
The table above reconciles the non-GAAP ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments, to its most directly comparable GAAP ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's underwriting performance as trends within Reinsurance Operations may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments. These non-GAAP ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.
Premiums
See “Result of Operations” above for a discussion on consolidated premiums.
Other Income (Loss)
The Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and recognized income of less than $0.1 million and a loss of less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other income (loss) is primarily comprised of foreign exchange gains and losses.
Loss Ratio
The current accident year loss ratio improved by 2.9 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 reflecting a mix of business change and growth in a treaty that has a lower expected loss ratio than last year.
The current accident year loss ratio improved by 3.2 points during six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 reflecting a mix of business change and growth in a treaty that has a lower expected loss ratio than last year.
The calendar year loss ratios for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a decrease of $1.2 million or 3.1 percentage points, and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 1.6 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratios for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes a decrease of less than $0.1 million or 0.1 percentage point, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.
Expense Ratios
The expense ratio for the Company’s Reinsurance Operations segment increased 2.9 points from 34.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to 37.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and increased 1.7 points from 34.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in the expense ratio was primarily due to an increase in commission expense which was partially offset by a reduction in the expense ratio as a result of a growth in net earned premiums.
COVID-19
COVID-19’s lasting impacts could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect Reinsurance Operations’ business, financial condition, and results of operation.

The current accident year non-catastrophe property loss ratio increased by 3.9 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 recognizing higher claims frequency in Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines partially offset by lower claims frequency in the specialty property lines and lower claims severity in the property brokerage lines.
The current accident year non-catastrophe property loss ratio increased by 6.9 points during six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due to a higher loss ratio in the specialty property lines as well as higher claims frequency and severity in the Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines.
The current accident year catastrophe loss ratio increased by 19.7 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 recognizing higher claims frequency and severity in the specialty property lines and Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines.
The current accident year catastrophe loss ratio increased by 5.7 points during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 reflecting higher claims severity in the Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines partially offset by lower claims frequency and severity in the property brokerage lines.
The current accident year casualty loss ratio improved by 10.8 points during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 which reflects that the premium has been running off and is down to $0.9 million in net earned premiums for the specialty property lines, property brokerage, and property and catastrophe reinsurance treaties in the quarter as well as lower claims frequency in Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines.
The current accident year casualty loss ratio improved by 4.3 points during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to lower claims severity in the Farm, Ranch & Stable business lines partially offset by higher claims severity in the specialty property lines.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC
The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a decrease of $2.6 million, or 12.0 percentage points, and a decrease of $6.0 million, or 13.5 percentage points, respectively related to reserve development on prior accident years. The calendar year loss ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes an increase of $6.1 million, or 12.3 percentage points, and an increase of $5.3 million, or 5.4 percentage points, respectively, related to reserve development on prior accident years. Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further discussion on prior accident year development.
Expense Ratio
The expense ratio for the Company’s Exited Lines increased by 6.4 points from 41.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to 47.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The expense ratio for the Company’s Exited Lines increased by 7.0 points from 41.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 48.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the expense ratio is primarily due to the reduction in earned premiums resulting from the runoff of lines of business that the Company is no longer writing.
COVID-19
There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Exited Lines’ policies, or other conditions included in these policies that would otherwise preclude coverage
COVID-19’s lasting impacts could result in declines in business, non-payment of premiums, and increases in claims that could adversely affect the Exited Lines’ business, financial condition, and results of operation.
Unallocated Corporate Items
The Company’s fixed income portfolio, excluding cash, continues to maintain high quality with an A average rating and a duration of 1.7 years.

Excludes realized gains and losses |
Gross investment income decreased by 77.4% and 55.4% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to decreased returns from alternative investments and a decrease in dividend income as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s common stock portfolio during the first quarter of 2022. The proceeds from the sale of the common stock portfolio as well as other proceeds were used to retire the 2047 Notes in April 2022.
Investment expenses decreased by 3.8% and 9.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 due to decreased investment management expenses as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s common stock portfolio during the year.
At June 30, 2022, the Company held agency mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $3.8 million. Excluding the agency mortgage-backed securities, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was 1.8 years as of June 30, 2022, compared with 4.7 years as of June 30, 2021. Including cash and short-term investments, the average duration of the Company’s fixed maturities portfolio, excluding agency mortgage-backed securities, was 1.7 years and 4.5 years as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Changes in interest rates can cause principal payments on certain investments to extend or shorten which can impact duration. The Company’s embedded book yield on its fixed maturities, not including cash, was 2.7% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 2.3% as of June 30, 2021. The embedded book yield on the $32.4 million of

taxable municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio, was 3.1% at June 30, 2022, compared to an embedded book yield of 3.0% on the Company’s taxable municipal bonds of $64.5 million at June 30, 2021.

In response to a rising interest rate environment, the Company took action early in April 2022 to shorten the duration of its fixed maturities portfolio. The Company identified fixed maturities securities with a weighted average life of five years or greater as having an intent to sell. Most of the proceeds from the sale of these securities were reinvested into fixed income investments with maturities of two years and less.
See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for an analysis of total investment return on a pre-tax basis for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Corporate and Other Operating Expenses
Corporate and other operating expenses consist of outside legal fees, other professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees & advisory fees, salaries and benefits for holding company personnel, development costs for new products, and taxes incurred which are not directly related to operations. Corporate and other operating expenses were $3.0 million and $6.3 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $7.7 million and $10.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in corporate expenses was primarily due to the Company receiving an employee retention credit under the CARES Act of $2.7 million. This credit, which reduced compensation cost, was received in May 2022.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $0.4 million and $2.7 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, $3.0 million and $5.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The reduction in interest expense was due to the redemption of the 2047 Notes on April 15, 2022.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit was $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared with income tax expense of $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily due to investment losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Income tax benefit was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with an income tax expense of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily due to investment losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
See Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for a comparison of income tax between periods.

GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC
Net Income (Loss)
The factors described above resulted in a net loss of $12.2 million and net income of $6.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and a net loss of $26.9 million and net income of $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a holding company. Its principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including those of its insurance companies: United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company.
Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s short term and long term liquidity needs include but are not limited to the payment of corporate expenses, debt service payments, distributions to shareholders, and share repurchases. The Company also has commitments in the form of operating leases, commitments to fund limited liability investments, and unpaid losses and loss expense obligations. In order to meet its short term and long term needs, Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s principal sources of cash includes investment income, dividends from subsidiaries, other permitted disbursements from its direct and indirect subsidiaries, reimbursement for equity awards granted to employees and intercompany borrowings. The principal sources of funds at these direct and indirect subsidiaries include underwriting operations, investment income, proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments, capital contributions, intercompany borrowings, and dividends from subsidiaries. Funds are used principally by these operating subsidiaries to pay claims and operating expenses, to make debt payments, fund margin requirements on interest rate swap agreements, to purchase investments, and to make distribution payments. In addition, the Company periodically reviews opportunities related to business acquisitions and as a result, liquidity may be needed in the future.
GBLI Holdings, LLC is a holding company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn-Patriot Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC’s principal asset is its ownership of the shares of its direct and indirect subsidiaries which include United National Insurance Company, Diamond State Insurance Company, Penn-America Insurance Company, Penn-Star Insurance Company, and American Reliable Insurance Company. GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its debt obligations as well as corporate expense obligations.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company also had future funding commitments of $31.2 million related to investments that are currently in their harvest period and it is unlikely that a capital call will be made.
The future liquidity of both Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC’s insurance companies are restricted by statute as to the amount of dividends that they may pay without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The dividend limitations imposed by state laws are based on the statutory financial results of each insurance company that are determined by using statutory accounting practices that differ in various respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. See “Regulation - Statutory Accounting Principles” in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key differences relate to, among other items, deferred acquisition costs, limitations on deferred income taxes, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes. See Note 21 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on dividend limitations related to the Insurance Companies. In April, 2022, the United National insurance companies, Penn-America insurance companies, and American Reliable Insurance Company paid dividends in the amount of $4.5 million, $7.5 million, and $22.5 million, respectively.
Cash Flows
Sources of operating funds consist primarily of net written premiums and investment income. Funds are used primarily to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments. As a result of the distribution policy, funds may also be used to pay distributions to shareholders of the Company.
54
GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC
The Company’s reconciliation of net income (loss) to net cash provided by operations is generally influenced by the following:
|
• |
the fact that the Company collects premiums, net of commissions, in advance of losses paid; |
|
• |
the timing of the Company’s settlements with its reinsurers; and |
|
• |
the timing of the Company’s loss payments. |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.5 million and $47.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows of approximately $29.0 million from the prior year was primarily a net result of the following items:

Liquidity
Sale of Renewal Rights related to Farm, Ranch & Stable and Sale of American Reliable Insurance Company
On August 8, 2022, the Company sold the renewal rights related to all business lines within its Farm, Ranch & Stable segment for business written on or after August 8, 2022 to Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Company. The Company will retain the unearned premium reserves for business written prior to August 8, 2022.
Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Company is also acquiring the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, American Reliable Insurance Company, for book value which is expected to be $10.0 million at the time of closing. The transaction is subject to receiving regulatory approval which is expected to be received during the 4th quarter of 2022. Under the agreements, total consideration to be paid by Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Company is $40 million.
COVID-19
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively impacted by the cancellation, delays, or non-payment of premiums related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting impacts. There is continued risk that legislation could be passed or there could be a court ruling which would require the Company to cover business interruption claims regardless of terms, exclusions including the virus exclusions contained within the Company’s Commercial Specialty and Farm, Ranch & Stable policies, or other conditions included in policies that would otherwise preclude coverage which would negatively impact liquidity. In addition, the liquidity of the Company’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by disruption experienced in global financial markets. Management is taking actions it considers prudent to minimize the impact on the Company’s liquidity. However, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, magnitude and geographic reach of COVID-19, the Company is regularly evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on its liquidity.
Distributions
The Board of Directors approved a distribution payment of $0.25 per common share to all shareholders of record on the close of business on March 21, 2022 and June 20, 2022. Distributions paid to common shareholders were $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, distributions of $0.2 million were paid to Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s preferred shareholder during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Investment Portfolio
Due to shortening duration, significantly more of the investment portfolio will mature annually.
On May 18th, 2022, the Company provided the Credit Fund, LLC with formal withdrawal requests in full. As outlined in the fund’s offering documents, redemption proceeds are wired to the account of record within 30 days of June 30, 2022. Proceeds of $99.6 million are expected to be invested into fixed income investments with maturities of two years and less.
Other than the items discussed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022. Please see Item 7 of Part II in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

Item 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, risk assets were challenged with both equities and bonds moving significantly lower. Global equities fell approximately 15.4% with U.S. equities underperforming, losing approximately 16.1%. U.S. fixed income lost approximately 4.7% with average spreads moving wider during the quarter. Heightened volatility in all markets remained the theme in June as ten-year treasury yields rose significantly during the month only to end slightly higher at the end of June. The increase in rates was triggered by an upside surprise in inflation data, but the combination of decreasing consumer confidence and rising growth concerns ultimately resulted in interest rates falling and spreads across all sectors widening. While the 75-basis-point increase by the Federal Reserve was anticipated, there is growing concern that an aggressive rate rise will result in a recession. Chair Powell continues to point to the strength of the labor market as support for the economy that will allow the Federal Reserve to focus on regaining price stability.
The Company’s investment grade fixed income portfolio continues to maintain high quality with an A average rating and a duration of 1.7 years. Portfolio purchases were focused within US Treasury, and investment grade credit securities. These purchases were funded primarily through cash inflows, sales of US Treasury, MBS, and investment grade credit securities, as well as maturities and paydowns. During the second quarter, the portfolio’s allocation to US Treasuries and investment grade credit increased, while the portfolio’s exposure to MBS securities decreased.
Other than the changes described in the preceding paragraph, there have been no other material changes to the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2021. Please see Item 7A of Part II in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s market risk.
Item 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance and reinsurance coverage for risks in amounts that it considers adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance and reinsurance coverage that the Company maintains is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
