SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
United Fire Group, Inc. ("UFG," the "Registrant," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are engaged in the business of writing property and casualty insurance through a network of independent agencies. Our insurance company subsidiaries are licensed as property and casualty insurers in 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Basis of Presentation
The financial information for interim periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Certain financial information that is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including financial statement footnote disclosures, is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted.
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statement categories that are most dependent on management estimates and assumptions include: investments; losses and loss settlement expenses; and pension benefit obligations.
Management believes the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results reported for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year. The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on February 26, 2026.
Updates to Significant Accounting Policies
Since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we have had no changes to significant accounting policies, which have been followed in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent Events
In the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Company has evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date on which the financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company's financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of
Income Statement Expenses. This update requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments in this ASU remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as "project stages") throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). Further, the ASU specifies that the disclosures in Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment-Overall, are required for all capitalized internal-use software costs, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that the intangibles disclosures in paragraphs 350-30-50-1 through 50-3 are not required for capitalized internal-use software costs. This ASU supersedes the website development costs guidance and incorporates the recognition requirements for website-specific development costs from Subtopic 350-50 into Subtopic 350-40. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment can be applied using the prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this update clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. This ASU requires a comprehensive list of interim disclosures to provide clarity about the current requirements, and includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU further clarifies the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendment can be applied using the prospective or retrospective transition approach for any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements. Thirty-three issues are addressed in this ASU covering technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. If an entity adopts the ASU in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis. The amendment can be applied using the prospective or retrospective transition approach for any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements and an entity may elect the transition method on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.
