Segment Reporting

Due to the continued revenue growth and recent geographic expansion of Hagerty's marketplace business, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company updated its segment reporting to reflect two operating and reportable segments: Insurance and Marketplace. Previously, the Company operated as a single operating and reportable segment. Prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation in this Quarterly Report.

The Insurance segment principally includes the Company's reinsurance and MGA operations, as well as its membership, events and media activities which support and enhance its insurance offerings. The Marketplace segment offers a trusted marketplace where automotive enthusiasts can buy, sell, and finance collector cars.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chairman of its Board of Directors (the "Board") acts as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions about the Company's reportable segments using a number of measures, including income before taxes, which is the Company's measure of segment profitability.

The CODM regularly receives information about the significant expenses of each reportable segment, including (i) Losses and loss adjustment expenses, net; (ii) Policy acquisition costs, net; (iii) Underwriting and other insurance expenses; (iv) Selling, general, and administrative expenses; and (v) Interest expense and other, net. These expenses are not regularly used by the CODM on a disaggregated basis for purposes of evaluating segment profitability. The Company does not report total assets by segment for internal or external reporting purposes as the Company's CODM does not receive segment balance sheets or assess performance, make strategic decisions, or allocate resources based on assets.

Income (loss) before taxes for each segment includes an allocation of attributable shared service expenses. Certain corporate expenses are excluded from segment income (loss) before taxes as they are not attributable to the operations of the reportable segments. These unallocated expenses are included in the reconciliation of total segment income (loss) before taxes to consolidated income before taxes below.
The tables below present the Company's segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Contract Assets

Contract assets, primarily consisting of CUC receivables, are reported within "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had contract assets of $2.4 million and $18.2 million, respectively. The decrease as of September 30, 2026 is primarily a result of the Markel Fronting Arrangement, as the Company no longer earns a CUC from policies issued by Essentia.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of cash collected in advance of revenue recognition and primarily relate to the unrecognized portion of HDC membership fees, the unrecognized portion of the advanced commission payment received from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm"), and, to a much lesser extent, cash collected in advance of the completion of marketplace private sales. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had contract liabilities of $51.6 million and $46.5 million, respectively.
