VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed maturity securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at fair value with the change in fair value recorded through other comprehensive income (loss). Equity securities are also measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements with the change in fair value recorded through net income (loss). The Company recognized net investment related losses of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and losses of $16 thousand and gains of $31 thousand for the same periods in 2025, respectively, on equity securities held.

The Company considers several factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in Part IV, Item 15, Note 2. Investments in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our 2025 Form 10-K to determine whether a credit valuation loss exists. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded no credit valuation losses on fixed maturity securities.

For fixed maturity security investments that have unrealized losses as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the gross unrealized losses and related fair values that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position by timeframe are as follows:

In each category of our fixed maturity securities described above, we do not intend to sell our investments, and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 98.7% of the fair value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio were rated investment grade. While the losses are currently unrealized, we continue to monitor all fixed maturity securities on an on-going basis as future information may become available which could result in an allowance being recorded.

These unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase, which have little bearing on the recoverability of our investments, hence they are not recognized as credit losses. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity or if market yields for such investments decline.

The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2026 by contractual maturity are shown in the table below.  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date have been reflected based upon final stated maturity.
