DEFERRED CHARGE ASSETS
7. DEFERRED CHARGE ASSETS
If, at the inception of a retroactive reinsurance contract, the estimated liabilities for losses and LAE exceed the consideration received, a deferred charge asset (“DCA”) is recorded for this difference.
We amortize the DCA balances over the estimated claim payment period of the related contracts with the amortization prospectively adjusted at each reporting period to reflect new estimates of the pattern and timing of remaining losses and LAE payments.
The following table presents a summary of the DCA balances and related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
