Report of Independent Auditors

Management and Board of Directors of

RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the incurred and paid claims development, net of reinsurance, prior to the most recent year disclosed in Note 9 be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Values)

1. Description of the Business

RSC Topco, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Accession Risk Management Group, Inc., (the “Company”) provides insurance brokerage, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs, and professional services serving a wide range of medium size domestic and international commercial businesses. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada.

The Company primarily operates as an agent or broker. Within this space, the Company’s business is divided into Risk Strategies (“RSC”) and One80 Intermediaries (“One80”). RSC operates as a retail brokerage, risk management and reinsurance placement business primarily focused on property and casualty and employee benefits for small and middle-market businesses and individuals across a variety of industries. One80 operates as an alternative distribution and underwriting management business, offering specialized insurance solutions to insurers and other insurance agents and brokers.

While our business is primarily brokerage and professional services, we operate various ancillary insurance operations, including reinsurance companies that assume underwriting risk and series captive insurance companies (“SCICs”), primarily for the purpose of facilitating additional underwriting capacity and generating incremental revenues. The premiums and underwriting exposure related to the Company’s SCIC insurance operations are fully ceded to the client-owned captive cells such that SCIC operations have no underwriting risk on a net written basis.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).

Revenue Recognition

See Note 3. Revenue Recognition for a detailed discussion regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand, demand deposits, money market funds, and debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and may exceed federally insured limits. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 consist of money market funds of approximately $79,500.

Restricted Cash

The Company’s policy is to restrict cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when required under contract or legislation, or when due to carriers under agency agreements. Restricted cash represents unremitted net insurance premiums and insured clients’ claim funds held in a fiduciary capacity until disbursed by the Company. The unremitted net insurance premiums and insured clients’ claim funds held will be disbursed to the appropriate insurance carriers and insured clients, respectively, within a period of less than one year from the Consolidated Balance Sheet date and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In addition, the restricted cash includes cash drawn on long-term debt to fund acquisitions and purchase agreement obligations. Accordingly, restricted cash has been classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a current asset. In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, the Company presents changes in total of cash and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows.

Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In accordance with ASC 230, the Company presents contingent payments on acquisitions that are up to the acquisition date fair value in financing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, those payments in excess of the acquisition date fair value are presented in operating activities.

Premiums, Commissions, and Fees Receivable

In its capacity as an insurance agent and broker, the Company typically collects premiums from insured clients and, after deducting its authorized commissions, remits the net premiums to the appropriate insurance carriers. Accordingly, as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, accounts receivable represents premiums and commissions receivable from the insured.

Under certain arrangements, insurance companies collect the premiums directly from the insured and remit the applicable commissions to the Company. Accordingly, these commissions are also included in Premiums, commissions, and fees receivable, net within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Fees are primarily receivables due from customers after services have been performed and are also included in Premiums, commissions, and fees receivable, net.

In the Company’s capacity as an insurer, Premiums, commissions, and fees receivable, net represents premium balances currently due from policyholders and fronting insurance carriers.

An allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable is established through a charge to Other expenses. See Note 7. Allowance for Credit Losses.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and measures all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration and all contractual contingencies, at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company expenses direct transaction costs as incurred and records a liability for contingent consideration at the measurement date with subsequent re-measurements recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Acquisitions may have purchase agreement obligations based on financial targets developed by management for the acquired entities.

 

9


RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Values)

 

The amounts recorded as purchase agreement obligations, are primarily based upon the estimated future operating results of the acquired entities over a period of time and are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date based on a probability-weighted approach derived from an assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the defined criteria. Subsequent changes in the estimated purchase agreement obligations, including the accretion of discount, are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Goodwill

In applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, the excess of purchase price of an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets is assigned to goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business or political climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends or significant underperformance relative to projected future results of operations.

The process for evaluating potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

The goodwill impairment test performed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 did not result in any impairment charges.

Intangible Assets

In applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. If an event has occurred, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. To the extent that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is permanently written down to its estimated fair market value and an impairment loss is recognized. No impairments were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Amortization of these intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Classification

  

Amortization Method

   Estimated Useful Life

Customer relationships

   Straight-line basis    10–15 years

Trade names

   Straight-line basis    3–10 years

Developed technology

   Straight-line basis    4 years

Favorable leases

   Straight-line basis    Lease term

Noncompetition agreements

   Straight-line basis    1-7 years

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment acquired in the normal course of business are recorded at cost. Property and equipment acquired in connection with business combinations are recorded at fair value based upon management estimates at the time of acquisition. All property and equipment are presented net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized and ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gains or losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Values)

 

The Company capitalizes certain costs to develop, purchase or modify software for the internal use of the Company. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post implementation stage, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Costs related to updates and enhancements are only capitalized if they will result in additional functionality.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows:

 

Classification

   Estimated Useful Life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment    5–7 years
Computer software and hardware    3–5 years
Leasehold improvements    Shorter of estimated useful life or lease term

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company considers whether there has been any impairment in the value of its long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The Company evaluates whether certain events have occurred that would require the Company to assess the related assets for impairment. If an event has occurred, the Company then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. To the extent that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is permanently written down to its estimated fair market value and an impairment loss is recognized. No impairments were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures the fair value of assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

11


RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Values)

 

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics and other market factors. An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company.

Leases

Under ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Under ASC 842, Leases, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. We also consider whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.

Operating leases are primarily for office space and are included in Other long-term assets, Other liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right of use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease Right of use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Many of the Company’s lease agreements contain renewal options; however, the Company does not recognize Right of use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it is determined that the Company is reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Certain lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, abatements, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions.

For operating leases with a term of one year or less, the Company has elected to not recognize a lease liability or Right of use asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease expenses are immaterial to our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Company’s leases may include a non-lease component representing additional services transferred, such as common area maintenance for real estate. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. Non-lease components that are variable in nature are recorded in variable lease expense in the period incurred.

The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments, as the Company’s leases do not have a readily determinable implicit discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount in a similar economic environment. Judgment is applied in assessing factors such as Company-specific credit risk, lease term, nature and quality of the underlying collateral, currency, and economic environment in determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to each lease.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs associated with the Company’s term debt are recorded against the Company’s long-term debt (i.e., contra-debt) and are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Costs associated with the Company’s revolving credit facilities and delayed draw term loans are capitalized as a deferred charge within Other long-term assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the facilities’ terms. Costs associated with delayed draw term loans are reclassified against long-term debt (i.e., contra-debt) as the Company draws upon the delayed draw term loans and are amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The Company capitalizes deferred policy acquisitions costs (“DACs”), which consist primarily of commissions and premium taxes that are directly related to the successful acquisition by our insurance company subsidiary of new or renewal insurance contracts. DACs are amortized on a pro-rata amortization method and systematic allocation approach over the terms of the policies to which they relate, which is generally one year. DACs are also reduced by ceding commissions paid by reinsurance companies which represent recoveries of acquisition costs. DACs are periodically reviewed for recoverability and adjusted if necessary. DACs were $1,374 as of December 31, 2024 and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Premium deficiency testing is performed annually and generally reviewed quarterly. Such testing involves the use of assumptions including the anticipation of investment income to determine if anticipated future policy premiums are adequate to recover all DAC and related claims, benefits and expenses. To the extent a premium deficiency exists, it is recognized immediately by a charge to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and a corresponding reduction in DAC. If the premium deficiency is greater than unamortized DAC, a loss (and related liability) is recorded for the excess deficiency.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

Certain of the Company’s insurance operations retains net insurance risk by underwriting short duration contracts which primarily include property and casualty, and group accident and health policies. The Company’s consolidated SCICs, which do not retain any net insurance risk, primarily provide property and casualty coverage.

The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) reported includes losses calculated based upon loss projections utilizing actuarial studies of historical and industry data. These reserves include specific case reserves and management’s estimate of the amounts for losses incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). IBNR is reviewed regularly using a variety of actuarial techniques. Management believes that its aggregate liability for unpaid losses and LAE at year-end represents its best estimate, based upon the available data, of the amount necessary to cover the ultimate cost of losses, based upon actuarial analyses prepared by consulting actuaries. However, because of the limited population of insured risks, limited historical data, economic conditions, judicial decisions, legislation, and other reasons, actual loss experience may not conform to the assumptions used in determining the estimated amounts for such liability at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the ultimate liability could vary significantly. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations. The approach and methods for developing these estimates and for recording the resulting liability are continually reviewed. Any adjustments to this reserve are recognized in Other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Losses and loss adjustment expenses, less related reinsurance is charged to expense as incurred and included in Other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

In establishing reserves, management considers facts currently known, historical claims information, industry average loss data, and the present state of laws and coverage litigation. However, the process of establishing loss reserves is a complex and imprecise science that reflects significant judgmental factors.

Reinsurance

The Company assumes reinsurance from other insurance companies. In addition, the Company cedes insurance risk to other insurance companies. The Company’s SCICs are created for clients to insure their risks and reduce future costs of their insurance programs. In these arrangements, the Company acts as a fronting insurer and enters into reinsurance treaties, under which the Company has ceded all of the liabilities to client-owned captive cells. The Company structures its SCIC operations to have no underwriting risk on a net written basis.

The Company remains liable to policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. To minimize the Company’s exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic characteristics of the reinsurers. Reinsurance recoverable is presented net of an allowance for credit losses.

Reinsurance premiums assumed are recorded on an accrual basis and are included in income on a pro-rata basis over the lives of the policies with the unearned portion being recorded as unearned premiums in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Reinsurance premiums ceded are similarly pro-rata over the terms of the treaties with the unearned portion being recorded as deferred reinsurance premiums ceded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Ceded losses incurred reduce net loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred over the applicable periods of the reinsurance contracts with third-party reinsurers.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s reinsurers are all captive cells related to the SCIC operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

During the years presented within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues. As of December 31, 2024, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s Premiums, commissions, and fees receivable, net.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, money market accounts on deposit with financial institutions, money market funds, certificates of deposit, fixed-maturity securities, and receivable balances in the course of collection.

Additionally, our insurance carrier subsidiaries have exposure and remain liable in the event of insolvency of their reinsurers. Management and its reinsurance intermediaries regularly assess the credit quality and ratings of its reinsurer counterparties. For the year ended December 31, 2024, two reinsurers represented 91.2% in the aggregate, of our total reinsurance balance due. Further, the Company may hold collateral (in the form of funds withheld, trusts and letters of credit) as security under the reinsurance agreements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized and income or expense is recorded, for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases based on provision of the enacted tax laws. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Carryforwards primarily include items such as net operating losses, which can be carried forward subject to certain limitations.

The Company follows the provisions of the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The consolidated financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities have full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts, but without considering time values. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as part of pre-tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The guidance requires the Company to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options granted. As the Company did not have a public market for its stock as of December 31, 2024, management determined the volatility for awards granted based on a review of reported data for a peer group of companies.

The expected life of options has been determined using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Advertising and Marketing

Costs related to advertising and promotions are charged to Professional services as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense was approximately $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and required disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about the nature of expenses presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has assessed other accounting pronouncements issued or effective through the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and deemed they were not applicable to the Company or are not anticipated to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue Recognition

Brokerage and Professional Services

The Company recognizes revenue related to brokerage and professional services in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Commissions and Fees

The Company receives compensation for brokerage and professional services through commissions and fees. Commission rates and fees vary in amount and can depend upon a number of factors, including the type of insurance coverage provided, the particular insurer, and the capacity in which the broker acts and negotiates with clients. For the majority of the insurance brokerage arrangements, advice and services provided that culminate in the placement of an effective policy are considered a single performance obligation. The timing and method of revenue recognition are dependent upon the type of insurance and brokerage services being provided.

Revenue for property and casualty policy placement is generally recognized on the policy effective date, at which point control over the services provided by the Company has transferred to the client and the client has accepted the services. In many cases, fee compensation may be negotiated in advance, based on the type of risk, coverage required, and service provided by the Company and ultimately, the extent of the risk placed into the insurance market or retained by the client. An allowance for estimated policy cancellations is established through a charge to revenues. The trends and comparisons of revenue from one period to the next can be affected by changes in premium rate levels, fluctuations in client risk retention and increases or decreases in the value of risks that have been insured, as well as new and lost business, and the volume of business from new and existing clients.

Revenue for employee benefits related policy placement is generally recognized over the life of the policy to depict the transfer of control of the services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services using output measures, including units delivered or time elapsed, to provide a faithful depiction of the progress towards completion of the performance obligation. An allowance for estimated policy cancellations is established through a charge to revenues.

Additionally, the Company provides captive management services, actuarial, construction safety and other types of consulting work. Most of this consulting work consists of a single performance obligation, which is either recognized over time as control is transferred continuously to customers, or as of a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure of passage of time or time expended to date. Incurred hours represent services rendered and thereby faithfully depict the transfer of control to the customer.

Contingency and Profit-Share

In addition to commissions and fees from its clients, the Company is also eligible for certain contingent commissions and profit-share from insurers based on the attainment of specified metrics (i.e., volume and loss ratio measures) relating to the Company’s placements.

Revenue for contingent commissions and profit-share from insurers is estimated based on historical evidence of the achievement of the respective contingent metrics and recorded as the underlying policies that contribute to the achievement of the metric are placed. Due to the uncertainty of the amount of contingent consideration that will be received, the estimated revenue is constrained to an amount that is probable to not have a significant reversal of revenue. Contingent consideration is generally received in the first half of the subsequent year.

Insurance

Through its consolidated insurance subsidiaries, the Company is authorized to write various forms of property and casualty insurance. The Company accounts for insurance-related revenues under ASC 944, Financial Services-Insurance. Insurance revenues primarily relate to premiums, which are recognized as revenue over the policy term. The portion of premiums related to the unexpired term of policies in force as of the end of the reporting period and to be earned over the remaining term of these policies, is deferred and reported either as unearned premium for direct and assumed premium or deferred reinsurance premiums ceded for ceded premium.

Under ASC 606, certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that were previously expensed as incurred have been capitalized. The Company capitalizes the incremental costs to obtain contracts primarily related to commissions or sales bonus payments. These deferred costs are classified as Other long-term assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized over the expected life of the underlying customer relationships.

The Company also capitalizes certain pre-placement costs that are considered fulfillment costs that meet the following criteria: these costs (1) relate directly to a contract, (2) enhance resources used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation and (3) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated by the contract. These costs are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized at a point in time when the associated revenue is recognized. Contract assets increased during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to growth in our business and from businesses acquired in the current year.

Deferred revenue (contract liabilities) primarily relates to advance consideration received from customers under the contract before the transfer of a good or service to the customer. Deferred revenue is reflected within Other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Remaining Performance Obligations

We have applied the practical expedient not to present unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

4. Acquisitions

The Company completed eleven acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates through December 31, 2024. The Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interest of all equity deals. The purchase price for each acquisition was determined based on the Company’s expectations of future earnings and cash flows. The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of purchase price over the aggregate fair values of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill acquired through asset purchases is amortizable for tax purposes, while the goodwill acquired through equity purchases is not.

As detailed below, the acquisition costs associated with certain acquisitions include shareholder equity, usually issued through common stock. The value ascribed to the equity issued, as defined in the purchase agreements, was calculated on the acquisition dates by the Company. Most acquisitions include a potential contingent payment (purchase agreement obligation adjustment) which requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the sellers based on future revenues or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Management records subsequent changes in these estimated purchase agreement obligation adjustments, including the accretion of the discount, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The purchase agreement obligation adjustment is calculated based upon the Company’s projections of the acquired company’s revenue and EBITDA growth, as applicable, and subsequently developing a range of potential purchase agreement obligation adjustments, with the resulting liability recorded being based upon a probability-weighted analysis of these potential outcomes as noted in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Amounts are generally payable from one to three years after the acquisition date depending upon stipulations within the respective acquisition agreements.

Transaction-related costs associated with each acquisition were expensed within Professional services in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The purchase price allocation for certain acquisitions purchased during 2024 are based on estimates that are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments. Any necessary adjustments must be finalized during the measurement period, which for a particular asset, liability, or non-controlling instrument ends once the acquirer determines that either (1) the necessary information has been obtained or (2) the information is not available. However, the measurement period for all items is limited to one year from the acquisition date. Items subject to change are the amounts of intangible assets that are subject to finalization of valuation analyses and amounts for contingencies which are pending the finalization of the Company’s assessment. Accordingly, amounts preliminarily allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets may be adjusted. Such amounts may be material and would primarily represent reclassifications between goodwill and other intangible assets.

7. Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is based on a number of factors, including the balance, historical write-offs, aging of balances, and other quantitative and qualitative analyses. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of the allowance and makes adjustments, as necessary. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded if and when received.

As it relates to our investments, we regularly review our individual investment securities for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment has resulted from an expected credit loss, including:

 

   

the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;

 

   

the extent to which the market value of the security is below its cost or amortized cost;

 

   

general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors;

 

   

nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and

 

   

our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

The allowance for credit losses for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables is based on an estimate of the balance that will ultimately be unrecoverable due to reinsurer insolvency, a contractual dispute, or any other reason. Refer to Note 9. Reinsurance for further information on the allowance for credit losses for reinsurance recoverables.

As a result of adverse loss experience across the group accident and health insurance business, changes in estimates of provisions of losses and loss adjustment expenses were made resulting in increases of $918 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as Other expenses.

Loss Development Tables

The tables were designed to present business with similar risk characteristics which exhibit like development patterns and generally similar trends, in order to provide insight into the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to our claims liabilities.

 

   

The incurred loss triangle includes both reported case reserves and IBNR liabilities.

 

22


RSC Topco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Values)

 

   

Both the incurred and paid loss triangles include allocated loss adjustment expense (i.e., defense and investigative costs particular to individual claims) but exclude unallocated loss adjustment expense (i.e., the costs associated with internal claims staff and third-party administrators).

 

   

All data presented in the triangles is net of reinsurance recoverables.

 

   

The IBNR reserves shown to the right of each incurred loss development exhibit reflect the net IBNR recorded as of December 31, 2024.

 

   

The tables are presented retrospectively with respect to acquisitions where these are material and doing so is practicable.

 

   

Considers a reported claim to be one claim for each claimant or feature for each loss occurrence.

 

   

The information about incurred and paid loss development for all periods preceding year ended December 31, 2024 and the related historical claims payout percentage disclosure is unaudited and is presented as required supplementary information.

Historical dollar amounts are presented in this footnote on a constant-dollar basis, which is achieved by assuming constant foreign exchange rates for all periods in the loss triangles, translating prior period amounts using the same local currency exchange rates as the current year end. The impact of this conversion is to show the change between periods exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates, which would otherwise distort the change in incurred loss and cash flow patterns shown. The change in incurred loss shown will differ from other U.S. GAAP disclosures of incurred prior period reserve development amounts, which include the effect of fluctuations in exchanges rates.

The Company provided guidance above on key assumptions that should be considered when reviewing this disclosure and information relating to how loss reserve estimates are developed. The Company believes the information provided in the “Loss Development Tables” section of the disclosure is of limited use for independent analysis or application of standard actuarial estimations.

The claim counts in the following tables are cumulative reported claim counts as of December 31, 2024, and are equal to the sum of cumulative open and cumulative closed claims, including claims closed without payment. The following supplementary information presents incurred and paid losses by accident year, net of reinsurance ($ in thousands, except for number of claims):

The Company determines the fair value of purchase agreement obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from an assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the defined criteria. The measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s purchase agreement obligations are recorded as income or expense within Change in fair value of deferred purchase consideration in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period of such changes.

Changes in the fair value of purchase agreement obligations attributed to acquisitions are disclosed in Note 4. Acquisitions.

Pledged certificates of deposit and pledged U.S. Treasury notes are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Investment income and realized gains and losses, net of investment expenses are included in Other income, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Premiums, commissions, and fees receivable, net and Accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

13. Long Term Debt

Unitrust

On October 31, 2019, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Unitrust”) with a financial institution for an initial term loan and delayed draw facilities, and subsequently amended the Unitrust to provide for incremental term loans, delayed draw facilities, and a revolving line of credit. The eighth amendment to the Unitrust was executed on August 15, 2024, which allowed for a new delayed draw term commitment in the amount of $900,000 (“2024 Delayed Draw Facility”), increased the revolving line of credit by $100,000 and reduced the applicable margin on the interest rate by 0.75%. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $2,790, which is attributable to expensing of fees previously capitalized and associated with lenders who did not participate in the extension and assigned their holdings to existing lenders.

As of December 31, 2024, the components of the Company’s long-term debt under the Unitrust were as follows:

The Unitrust also provides for a letter of credit commitment of $10,000. In connection with the Company’s long-term debt and revolving line of credit arrangements, the Company has incurred and capitalized total costs of approximately $113,500 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $7,500 of costs associated with the revolving line of credit and delayed draw term commitments are included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Principal payments of $11,475 are due in quarterly installments. The outstanding principal balance is due in a balloon payment upon maturity on November 1, 2029. Interest is due and payable on a quarterly basis. All borrowings under the Unitrust bear interest at a variable interest rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 4.75%. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Unitrust was 9.25% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s long-term debt is subject to certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (the “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”). The provisions of the Unitrust also include certain covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, financial guarantees, business combinations, dividends and distributions, and other related items as defined by the agreements.

Substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets are pledged as collateral under the Unitrust, which also contains an excess cash flow clause that could require principal prepayment based on a cash flow calculation as defined by the agreement. The Unitrust also contains a subjective acceleration clause, whereby if the Company’s business, assets, or financial condition materially changes, at the lender’s discretion, the outstanding borrowings could become current.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Subordinated Promissory Notes

One June 1, 2023, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a $9,800 subordinated promissory note in connection with the acquisition of the assets of Johnson Financial Group, Inc. The note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures at the earlier of June 1, 2025, or a change in control of the Company.

On June 30, 2023, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a $9,000 subordinated promissory note in connection with the acquisition of the assets of First Insurance Group of the Midwest, Inc. The note accrues interest at 10% per annum and matures at the earlier of June 30, 2025, or a change in control of the Company.

14. Mezzanine Equity

On August 14, 2023, the Company issued 300,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $300,000 to investors in exchange for cash consideration of $291,000. Shares of Preferred Stock are nonconvertible. Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to approximately 304 votes and ranks senior to the Company’s common stock described in Note 15. Equity.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue on a daily basis at an annual dividend rate on the liquidation preference (equal the sum of the initial liquidation preference and all accrued, accumulated, and unpaid dividends). The initial annual dividend rate will be 13.25% per annum for the first six years. For the next two years the annual dividend rate will be 13.75% and then increase to 14.25% per annum for each year thereafter.

Shares of the Preferred Stock are redeemable at the Company’s option at any time, in whole or in part, in cash at the defined redemption price. Preferred Shares are also contingently redeemable upon specific material events (“Trigger Events”) which include, a change of control, the consummation of a primary initial public offering (“IPO”) or other events. The redemption price will be equal to the liquidation preference plus accrued but unpaid dividends, and an early premium amount which may be up to 3% of the amount otherwise payable depending on the time at which a redemption is triggered or exercised.

Commencing on the 10th anniversary of the Issuance Date, majority holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to require the Company to consummate a transaction that would result in a change of control of the Company. If the Company breaches such covenant or fails to consummate such transaction sale within 12 months after such demand is issued, the majority holders may elect an additional member to the board of directors.

Shares of the Preferred Stock issued and outstanding are accounted for as redeemable shares in the mezzanine section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as the shares are redeemable outside of the Company’s control. As of December 31, 2024, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were considered probable of becoming redeemable. The Company has elected to adjust the carrying value of the redeemable Series A Preferred Stock to their earliest redemption value through the accretion method. In the absence of retained earnings, adjustments to the redemption value were recorded against additional paid-in capital.

For the year ended December 31, 2024 the accrued and unpaid dividends and other accretion to the expected redemption amount of the Preferred Stock amounted to approximately $60,248. The Company has not declared a distribution of dividends on the Preferred Stock to date.

15. Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 7,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share consisting of 2,000,000,000 shares designated as voting common stock (“Voting Common Stock”) and 5,000,000,000 shares designated as non-voting common stock (“Non-voting Common Stock”). Each holder of Voting Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Holders of Non-voting Common Stock are not entitled to a vote, however the approval of a majority of the holders of Non-voting Common Stock are required for certain actions.

In 2020, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued “Exchangeable Shares” with an aggregate fair value of $18,538 as part of the consideration paid for an acquisition. Each Exchangeable Share can be exchanged on a one-for-one basis with the Company’s Non-voting Common Stock under certain conditions. These Exchangeable Shares do not have participation rights in the wholly-owned subsidiary from which they are issued; rather, they are economically equivalent to the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock. There were no exchanges as of December 31, 2024.

16. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has several different equity-settled stock-based compensation plans that provide grants for stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU”), and restricted stock awards (“RSA”) to employees of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company follows the guidance of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires the Company to recognize the associated expense of stock-based compensation over the requisite service period for awards expected to ultimately vest, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, included within Commissions, employee compensation, and benefits. These awards are classified as equity and are included as a component of equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company determines the grant date fair value of its stock compensation using an appropriate valuation model, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Stock Options

In February 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 RSC Topco, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Stock Incentive Plan”) which reserved 200,740,297 shares of common stock for grant thereunder.

The Company grants time-based options that vest at various dates based upon the individual grant agreement and performance-based options. The time-based options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based options either vest immediately upon grant or have a graded vesting of five years and are each exercisable upon the occurrence of a liquidity event above a defined minimum realization threshold. There is no stock-based compensation expense being recognized for the 109,444,330 performance-based options, as the performance conditions have not been satisfied.

A summary of option activity under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is as follows:

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of options granted, which uses the assumptions set forth in the table below:

 

     January 1, 2024
to December 31, 2024
Fair value of common stock    $2.20–$2.29

Risk-free interest rate

   3.5%–4.12%

Expected dividend yield

   None

Expected option term

   6 years

Volatility

   26%

No options were issued during the year ended December 31, 2024. Based on the factors above, the Company has determined the weighted average fair value of its options granted to be $0.08 in 2024. Stock-based compensation recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $4,300. Unrecognized stock-based compensation associated with nonvested time vesting stock options was approximately $5,200 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $44,900 of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to performance vesting options as applicable conditions have not been met.

Restricted Stock Units

In May 2023, the Company adopted the RSC Topco, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Stock Incentive Plan”) which reserved 18,960,979 shares of common stock for grant thereunder. The shares available for grant may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in control. All grants issued prior to May 2023 continue to exist under the terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. All grants issued after May 2023 are awarded under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan in the form of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units are awards denominated in common stock that will be settled in a specified number of shares of common stock and/or cash. As of December 31, 2024, the number of shares of common stock reserved for grant is 24,106,899.

The Company grants time-based units and performance-based units. Time-based units vest over four years on a graded schedule and are exercisable upon termination of employment or a change in control. Performance-based units vest and are exercisable upon a change in control, subject to other conditions.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to the time-based units over the vesting period using the estimated fair value of the common stock. Stock-based compensation recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $400. There is no stock-based compensation expense being recognized for the 1,206,666 performance-based units, as the performance conditions have not been satisfied.
