Note 1 -- Nature of Operations
HCI Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“HCI” or the “Company”), is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business through two Florida domiciled insurance companies, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”) and TypTap Insurance Company (“TypTap”). Both HCPCI and TypTap are authorized to underwrite various homeowners’ property and casualty insurance products and allied lines business in the state of Florida and in other states. The operations of each insurance subsidiary are supported by HCI Group, Inc. and certain HCI subsidiaries. The operations of TypTap are also supported by TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. (“TTIG”), the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, and certain TTIG subsidiaries. The Company emphasizes the use of internally developed technologies to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to assist in the underwriting process and generate savings as well as efficiency for the operations of the insurance subsidiaries. In addition, Greenleaf Capital, LLC, the Company’s real estate subsidiary, is primarily engaged in the business of owning and leasing real estate and operating marina facilities.
On April 19, 2023, the Company incorporated a new property and casualty insurance subsidiary, Tailrow Insurance Company (“Tailrow”), in the State of Florida. Tailrow currently has no operations.
Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of HCI Group, Inc. and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023.
In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies specific to reinsurance with retrospective provisions, reinsurance recoverable, deferred income taxes, limited partnership investments, allowance for credit
12
losses, and stock-based compensation expense involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In the case of assumed business, the Company relies entirely on the ceding insurance company to provide information about premiums, losses, and loss adjustment expenses. When the information is not available at the reporting date, the Company will make estimates based on all recent available data. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue from Claims Processing Services
Revenue related to claims processing services is included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues from claims processing services were $4 and $708, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues from claims processing services were $903 and $2,282, respectively.
Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-01. In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-01 (“ASU 2023-01”) Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. For public entities, this update amends the required amortization period for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases to be over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, as long as the lessee controls the use of the asset through a lease. In addition, if the lessor is sub-leasing the asset while simultaneously leasing the asset from an entity not within the same common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group. Once the lessee no longer controls the use of the asset, the asset will be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity. ASU 2023-01 is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2024. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on its future financial position.
Note 4 -- Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Restricted cash represents funds in the Company’s sole ownership primarily held by certain states to meet regulatory requirements in which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries conduct business and not available for immediate business use. Funds withheld in an account for which the Company is a co-owner but not the named beneficiary are not considered restricted cash and are included in funds withheld for assumed business on the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the sale of the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida as described in Note 5 -- “Investments” under Real Estate Investments, $87 of restricted cash was deposited in escrow in March 2023 with its release contingent on certain post-sale conditions being met.
Note 5 -- Investments
a) Available-for-Sale Fixed-Maturity Securities
The Company holds investments in fixed-maturity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cost or amortized cost, allowance for credit loss, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities by security type were as follows:

Since January 1, 2023, a Tampa office building property that was previously leased to an unaffiliated company has been used in operations by the Company and serves as TTIG’s corporate headquarters. As a result, in January 2023, $8,135 was reclassified out of real estate investments to property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheet.
On March 31, 2023, the Company closed on its agreement to sell the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida for a price of $18,500, and also closed on its agreement to sell the retail shopping center investment property in Sorrento, Florida for a price of $13,418.

Of the total costs, $1,582 was recognized as real estate investments. See Note 8 -- “Intangible Assets, Net” for information about the acquired leases. The land will be developed into a retail shopping center to be anchored by a well-known grocery store chain. The transaction was determined to be an asset acquisition. Thus, acquisition-related costs were capitalized and allocated among the assets acquired.
Depreciation and amortization expense related to real estate investments was $233 and $480 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $914 and $1,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 7 -- Fair Value Measurements
The Company records and discloses certain financial assets at their estimated fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1
–
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2
Other inputs that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets that are not observable throughout the full term of the asset.
Level 3
Inputs that are unobservable.
Valuation Methodology
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money-market funds and certificates of deposit maturing within 90 days. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity and high liquidity of these funds.
21
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held by state authorities or deposited in escrow. Its carrying value approximates fair value.
Fixed-Maturity and Equity Securities
Estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed-maturity and equity securities are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are generally measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar securities. In those instances where observable inputs are not available, fair values are measured using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value estimates derived from unobservable inputs are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.
The estimated fair values for securities that do not trade on a daily basis are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from an independent pricing service and information provided by brokers, which are level 2 inputs. Management reviews the assumptions and methods utilized by the pricing service and then compares the relevant data and pricing to broker-provided data. The Company gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies, and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through ongoing monitoring of the reported fair values.
Revolving Credit Facility
From time to time, the Company has an amount outstanding under a revolving credit facility. The interest rate is variable and is periodically adjusted based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a ten basis points adjustment plus a margin based on the debt-to-capital ratio. As a result, carrying value, when outstanding, approximates fair value.
Long-Term Debt
The following table summarizes components of the Company’s long-term debt and methods used in estimating their fair values:

The Company’s recent cash dividends on common stock have exceeded $0.35 per share, resulting in adjustments to the conversion rate of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, the conversion rate of the Company’s 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes was 16.578 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which was the equivalent of approximately $60.32 per share.
26
There were no unamortized debt issuance costs for the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes at September 30, 2023.
The conversion rate of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in May 2022 is currently 12.4166 shares of common stock for each $1 in principal amount, which is the equivalent of approximately $80.54 per share.
The effective interest rate for the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes, taking into account both cash and non-cash components, approximates 5.6%. Had a 20-year term been used for the amortization of the issuance costs of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the annual effective interest rate charged to earnings would have decreased to approximately 5.0%. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining amortization period of the debt issuance costs was expected to be 3.7 years for the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes.
On March 31, 2023, in conjunction with the sale of the retail shopping center investment property in Melbourne, Florida for a price of $18,500, the buyer assumed the 3.90% Promissory Note from the Company which consisted of the $8,979 principal balance plus $16 of accrued interest at March 31, 2023.
On March 31, 2023, the Company made an early repayment of the entirety of its 3.75% Callable Promissory Note which included $6,775 of principal balance plus $22 of accrued interest. As a result, the Company incurred a $177 loss on extinguishment of debt. The note was collateralized by the retail shopping center investment property in Sorrento, Florida which was sold as described in Note 5 -- “Investments” under Real Estate Investments.
On June 26, 2023, Gulf to Bay LM, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a ten-year secured loan agreement for proceeds of $12,000. The loan is collateralized by the Company’s Clearwater, Florida real estate, which is owned by Gulf to Bay LM, LLC, and the lease agreements associated with this property. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 5.50%. Approximately $74 of principal and interest is payable in 120 monthly installments. The promissory note may be repaid in full or in part after August 1, 2025 as long as the Company provides at least 30 days’ written notice and pays a prepayment consideration as specified in the loan agreement. The proceeds are used for real estate development projects or other general business purposes.
Note 12 -- Reinsurance
Reinsurance obtained from other insurance companies
The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts and a portion of its flood insurance exposure under one quota share reinsurance agreement. Ceded premiums under most catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts are subject to revision resulting from subsequent adjustments in total insured value. Under the terms of the quota share reinsurance agreement, the Company is entitled to a 30% ceding commission on ceded premiums written and a profit commission equal to 10% of net profit.
27
On January 12, 2023, HCPCI and TypTap received approval from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) to discontinue flood insurance policies written in Florida. Since the approval, the Company has cancelled or not renewed the majority of its flood insurance policies. However, the Company is required to continue providing flood insurance coverage to policyholders with open claims until criteria set by the FLOIR for cancellation and non-renewal are met. The reason for discontinuation is primarily attributable to the increased costs and reduced availability of flood reinsurance. The discontinuation does not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations.
The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. 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 to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st of each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.
The impact of the reinsurance contracts on premiums written and earned is as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized ceded losses of $2,911 and $6,771, respectively, as reductions in losses and loss adjustment expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized ceded losses of $907,541 and $910,928, respectively, as reductions in losses and loss adjustment expenses. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 33 and 45 reinsurers, respectively, participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. Total net amounts recoverable and receivable from reinsurers at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $491,964 and $688,359, respectively. Approximately 69.9% of the reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2023 was receivable from six reinsurers. Based on all available information considered in the rating-based method, the Company recognized decreases in credit loss expense of $33 and $135 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized increases in credit loss expense of $389 and $361, respectively. Allowances for credit losses related to the reinsurance recoverable balance were $319 and $454 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
28
One of the existing reinsurance contracts includes retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. Prior to June 1, 2022, there were two reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $6,993 and $20,979, respectively, related to these adjustments in the consolidated statements of income. Due to the impact of Hurricane Ian during the third quarter of 2022, the balance of previously accrued benefits under the multi-year reinsurance contract with retrospective provisions was decreased by $12,600. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $3,843 and $11,717, respectively. See Note 21 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.
Amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions are reflected in other assets. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other assets included $37,296 and $16,317, respectively, of amounts receivable pursuant to retrospective provisions. Management believes the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal as the amount receivable is concentrated with one reinsurer with a good credit rating and the Company monitors the creditworthiness of this reinsurer based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial condition.
Reinsurance provided to other insurance companies
In 2022, the Company provided quota share reinsurance on all policies issued by United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, an insurance subsidiary of United Insurance Holdings Corporation (“United”), in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island (collectively “Northeast Region”) and the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (collectively “Southeast Region”). These policies were renewed and/or replaced by the Company. As of the financial reporting date, there was no reinsurance provided to United by the Company. However, additional losses may be incurred pertaining to the previous coverage periods of the quota share reinsurance agreements.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, assumed premiums written related to the Northeast Region’s insurance policies were $0, whereas for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0 and $27,488, respectively, of assumed premiums written related to the Northeast Region’s insurance policies were derecognized, which primarily resulted from the return of the unearned portion of assumed written premiums subsequent to the Company’s renewal and/or replacement of insurance policies in Massachusetts. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a net balance of $1,207 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $626 and ceding commission payable of $581. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $1,581 due to United related to the Northeast Region, consisting of payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $1,000 and ceding commission payable of $581. Effective December 30, 2022, the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreement to provide 100% reinsurance on United’s policies in the Northeast Region was commuted.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0 and $7,569, respectively, of assumed premiums written related to the Southeast Region’s insurance policies were derecognized, which primarily resulted from the return of the unearned portion of assumed written premiums subsequent to the Company’s renewal and/or replacement of insurance policies in the Southeast Region, whereas for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, assumed premiums written related to the Southeast Region’s insurance policies were $9,142 and $40,303, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a net balance of $14,402 due to United related to the Southeast Region, consisting of premiums payable of $9,506 and payable on paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $6,417, offset by ceding commission receivable of $1,521. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net balance of $7,521 due to United related to the Southeast Region, consisting of payable on
29
paid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $7,606 and ceding commission payable of $16, offset by premiums receivable of $101.
On February 27, 2023, United’s Florida-domiciled residential insurance subsidiary was placed into receivership by the State of Florida due to its financial insolvency. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a net amount due to United of $10,274 and funds withheld for assumed business in trust accounts totaling $44,761 for the benefit of policies assumed from United. The Company ceased providing TPA services to United in March 2023. The Company cannot predict the actions a receiver might take, which may include restrictions on, or use of, funds held in trust. Any such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. See Note 23 -- “Subsequent Events” for additional information.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of funds withheld for assumed business related to the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreements with United was $44,761 and $48,772, respectively.
Note 13 -- Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claims development and losses incurred but not reported.
The Company primarily writes insurance in states which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.
Activity in the liability for losses and LAE is summarized as follows:

The establishment of loss and LAE reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss and LAE reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such estimates are adjusted. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized losses related to prior periods of $8,105 and $12,894, respectively, primarily to increase reserves in response to litigation. Losses and LAE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included net estimated losses of approximately $16,225 and $51,560, respectively, related to United policies assumed, renewed and/or replaced. Lower losses and LAE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily resulted from a decrease in claims and litigation related to Florida policies. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company incurred approximately $65,000 of losses resulting from Hurricane Ian.
Note 14 -- Segment Information
The Company identifies its operating divisions or segments based on managerial emphasis, organizational structure and revenue source. The Company has four reportable segments: HCPCI insurance operations, TypTap Group, real estate operations, and corporate and other. Due to their economic characteristics, the Company’s property and casualty insurance division and reinsurance operations, excluding the insurance operations under TypTap Group, are grouped together into one reportable segment under HCPCI insurance operations. The TypTap Group segment includes its property and casualty insurance operations, information technology operations and its management company’s activities. The real estate operations segment includes companies engaged in operating commercial properties the Company owns for investment purposes or for use in its own operations. The corporate and other segment represents the activities of the holding companies and any other companies that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment. The determination of segments may change over time due to changes in operational emphasis, revenues, and results of operations. The Company’s chief executive officer, who serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, evaluates each division’s financial and operating performance based on revenue and operating income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 64.4% and 60.5%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 34.1% and 29.9%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues from the HCPCI insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 63.7% and 66.6%, respectively, and revenues from the TypTap Group segment represented 34.6% and 28.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 56.6% and 53.4%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 34.6% and 37.9%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Note 16 -- Income Taxes
A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on available evidence both positive and negative, including recent operating results, available tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized and therefore recorded a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets each quarter, and during the first quarter of 2023, based on all of the available evidence, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and therefore is releasing the entire valuation allowance in 2023, as a part of the effective tax rate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $657 and $1,841, respectively, of valuation allowance was released through income tax expense.
38
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $4,419 of income tax expense, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 22.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $12,099 of income tax benefit, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 19.0%. The increase in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the increase in non-deductible compensation, partially offset by the release of the valuation allowance established in 2022 during the third quarter of 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $15,146 of income tax expense, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 23.9%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $13,907 of income tax benefit, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 19.5%. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2023 as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the increase in non-deductible compensation, partially offset by the release of valuation allowance established in 2022 during the nine months of 2023 and the recognition of tax benefits attributable to restricted stock that vested in February and May 2023. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain non-deductible and tax-exempt items.
Note 17 -- Earnings Per Share
U.S. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic earnings (loss) per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities affect the computation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share during periods of net income or loss. For a majority-owned subsidiary, its basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are first computed separately. Then, the Company’s proportionate share in that majority-owned subsidiary’s earnings is added to the computation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share at a consolidated level.
39
A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below:

Restricted Stock Awards
From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to certain executive officers, other employees, and non-employee directors in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance, and market-based conditions. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards containing only service-based conditions is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For awards with market-based conditions, the fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome.

OVERVIEW – General
HCI Group, Inc. is a Florida-based InsurTech company with operations in property and casualty insurance, information technology services, insurance management, real estate and reinsurance. We manage our operations in the following organizational segments, based on managerial emphasis and evaluation of financial and operating performances:
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 64.4% and 60.5%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group
47
represented 34.1% and 29.9%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues from HCPCI insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 63.7% and 66.6%, respectively, and revenues from TypTap Group represented 34.6% and 28.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, HCPCI insurance operations’ total assets represented 56.6% and 53.4%, respectively, and TypTap Group’s total assets represented 34.6% and 37.9%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments. See Note 14 -- “Segment Information” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Property and Casualty Insurance
HCPCI has historically provided various forms of residential insurance products such as homeowners insurance, fire insurance, flood insurance and wind-only insurance. HCPCI is authorized to write residential property and casualty insurance in the states of Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas. Currently, Florida is HCPCI’s primary market.
Due to the reduced availability and affordability of flood reinsurance coverage, HCPCI will cease to offer flood insurance policies in 2023. The discontinuation does not have a material impact to HCPCI’s results of operations as the gross premiums earned from such policies comprised less than 1% of total HCPCI gross premiums earned during 2022.
Reinsurance and other auxiliary operations
We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd (“Claddaugh”). We selectively retain risk in Claddaugh, reducing the cost of third-party reinsurance. Claddaugh fully collateralizes its exposure to HCPCI and TypTap by depositing funds into a trust account. Claddaugh may mitigate a portion of its risk through retrocession contracts, however Claddaugh did not enter into any retrocession contracts for the 2023-2024 treaty year. Currently, Claddaugh does not provide reinsurance to non-affiliates. Other auxiliary operations also include claim adjusting and processing services.
TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. (“TTIG”), our majority-owned subsidiary, currently has four subsidiaries: TypTap Insurance Company (“TypTap”), TypTap Management Company, Exzeo USA, Inc., and Cypress Tech Development Company which also owns Exzeo Software Private Limited, a subsidiary domiciled in India. TTIG is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business and is currently using internally developed technology to collect and analyze claims and other supplemental data to generate savings and efficiency for its insurance operations.
TypTap, TTIG’s insurance subsidiary, has been the primary source of our organic growth in gross written premium since 2016. TypTap’s policies in force have increased from 6,721 in January 2018 to 89,831 at September 30, 2023. TypTap has been successful in using internally developed proprietary technology to underwrite, select and write policies efficiently. As of November 1, 2023, TypTap has been approved to offer homeowners coverage in 30 states outside of Florida.
48
TypTap is also phasing out its flood insurance products during 2023 due to the reduced availability and affordability of flood reinsurance coverage. The discontinuation does not have a material impact to TypTap’s results of operations as the gross premiums earned from such policies comprised less than 5% of total TypTap gross premiums earned during 2022.
Information Technology
Our information technology operations include a team of experienced software developers with extensive knowledge in designing and creating web-based applications. The operations, which are located in Tampa, Florida and Noida, India, are focused on developing cloud-based, innovative products and services that support in-house operations as well as our third-party relationships with our agency partners and claim vendors. These products include SAMSTM, HarmonyTM, AtlasViewer® and ClaimColonyTM.
Our real estate operations consist of multiple properties we own and operate for investment purposes and also properties we own and use for our own operations. Properties used in operations consist of two Tampa office buildings and an insurance operations site in Ocala, Florida. Our investment properties include retail shopping centers, two marinas, and undeveloped land near TTIG’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida.
In March 2023, we finalized the sales of two retail shopping center investment properties in Melbourne and Sorrento, Florida. In September 2023, we purchased vacant land in Haines City, Florida which will be developed into a retail shopping center to be anchored by a well-known grocery store chain. See Real Estate Investments under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Other Operations
Holding company operations
Activities of our holding company, HCI Group, Inc., plus other companies that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment comprise the operations of this segment.
Recent Events
On October 13, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share. The dividends are payable on December 15, 2023 to stockholders of record on November 17, 2023.
On November 3, 2023, we executed a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association. The amendment extends the term of the line of credit until November 3, 2028 and increases the borrowing capacity to $75,000,000, $50,000,000 of which may be used to refinance our redeemable noncontrolling interest on or prior to March 31, 2025. The maximum debt-to-capital ratio is set at 67.5%.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 reflect net income of approximately $15,669,000 or $1.34 diluted earnings per share, compared with net loss of approximately $51,503,000 or $5.66 loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a $73,068,000 decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses, a $8,589,000 decrease in premiums ceded, a $6,595,000 increase in gross premiums earned, a $1,984,000 decrease in general and administrative personnel expenses, and a $5,646,000 decrease in policy acquisition, underwriting, personnel, and other operating expenses, offset by a $9,162,000 net decrease in income from our investment portfolio (consisting of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains or losses).
50
Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $188,308,000 and $181,713,000, respectively. The $6,595,000 increase was primarily attributable to the effect of premium rate increases, offset in part by a reduction in the number of policies in force. HCPCI gross premiums earned were $102,075,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $98,985,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $86,233,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $82,728,000 for the same comparative period in 2022.
Premiums Ceded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $66,152,000 and $74,741,000, respectively, representing 35.1% and 41.1%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $8,589,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a $12,600,000 reversal in September 2022 of previously accrued benefits attributable to retrospective provisions under multi-year reinsurance contracts due to the effects of Hurricane Ian, offset by higher reinsurance costs for the 2023-2024 contract year and an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount for Florida.
Our premiums ceded represent costs of reinsurance to cover losses from catastrophes that exceed the retention levels defined by our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts or to assume a proportional share of losses as defined in a quota share agreement. The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned. Reinsurance costs can be decreased by a reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under reinsurance contracts. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, premiums ceded included a decrease of $6,993,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a decrease of $3,843,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Net Premiums Written for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled approximately $132,113,000 and $116,440,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. The increase in 2023 primarily resulted from a decrease in premiums ceded to reinsurers and a reduction in the number of policies in force as described above. We had approximately 194,000 policies in force at September 30, 2023 as compared with approximately 246,000 policies in force at September 30, 2022.
Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $122,156,000 and $106,972,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.
The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands):

Net Investment Income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $9,384,000 and $18,530,000, respectively. The third quarter of 2022 included a $13,402,000 gain from the sale of real estate investment property. Excluding the gain in the prior year quarter, net investment income increased by approximately $4,256,000. The increase was attributable to a $5,562,000 increase in interest income from cash, cash equivalents and fixed-maturity securities, offset by a $1,159,000 decrease in income from limited partnership investments. See Net Investment Income under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net Unrealized Investment Losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1,041,000 and $347,000, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall deterioration in the equity market compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $66,726,000 and $139,794,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The losses and loss adjustment expenses of HCPCI Insurance Operations were $29,819,000 and $73,228,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in losses related to catastrophic events furthered by a lower number of policies in force and lower claims and litigation frequency. In addition, the third quarter of 2022 which included $42,346,000 of losses related to Hurricane Ian. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for TypTap were $37,324,000 compared with $62,153,000 for the same comparative period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower incurred losses recorded for Hurricane Ian during the third quarter of 2023. Such losses were $3,850,000 compared with $22,251,000 during the corresponding period of 2022. Reductions in the amount of claims and litigation related to Florida policies also accounted for a portion of the decrease in loss and loss adjustment expenses. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $22,768,000 and $24,678,000 on a consolidated basis, respectively, and primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs such as commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies, commission and catastrophe allowance paid to United, and premium taxes. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI Insurance Operations were $10,894,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $12,081,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in amortized costs was primarily due to a reduction of policies in force. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $11,900,000 compared with $12,626,000 for the same comparative period, with the increase due to higher amortized costs attributable to the accelerated transition of United policies, offset by lower policy acquisition costs in Florida resulting from lower commissions.
General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $13,864,000 and $15,848,000, respectively. Our general and administrative personnel expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation expenses, and employee benefit costs. Factors such as merit increases, changes in headcount, and periodic restricted stock grants, among others, cause fluctuations in this expense. In addition, our personnel expenses are decreased by the capitalization of payroll costs related to projects to develop software for internal use and the payroll costs associated with the processing and settlement of certain catastrophe claims which are recoverable from reinsurers under reinsurance contracts. The quarter-over-quarter decrease of $1,984,000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and an increase in recovered and capitalized payroll costs, offset by an adjustment to increase employee incentive bonuses, an increase in the headcount of temporary and full-time employees and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in late February 2023.
52
Income Tax Expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $4,419,000 for state, federal, and foreign income taxes compared with $12,099,000 of income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.0% and 19.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the increase in non-deductible compensation, partially offset by the release of valuation allowance established in 2022 during the third quarter of 2023.
Ratios:
The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2023 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 54.6% compared with 130.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses due to fewer claims and less litigation related to Florida policies, and higher average premium per policy as compared with the third quarter of 2022 which was affected by Hurricane Ian.
The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended September 30, 2023 (defined as total expenses excluding losses and loss adjustment expenses related to net premiums earned) was 36.7% compared with 47.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in net premiums earned, the decrease in policy acquisition, underwriting, personnel, and other operating expenses.
The combined ratio (total of all expenses in relation to net premiums earned) is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 91.3% compared with 177.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was attributable to the factors described above.
Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 59.2% compared with 104.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily attributable to the increase in gross premiums earned, the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses, and the decrease in policy acquisition, underwriting, personnel, and other operating expenses.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflect net income of approximately $48,344,000 or $4.16 diluted earnings per share, compared with net loss of approximately $57,254,000 or $6.26 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to a $110,147,000 decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses, a $18,972,000 net increase in income from our investment portfolio (consisting of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains or losses), a $12,843,000 decrease in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, and a $6,647,000 decrease in personnel and other operating expenses, offset by a $18,943,000 increase in premiums ceded and a $3,366,000 increase in interest expense.
Gross Premiums Earned on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $550,322,000 and $541,762,000, respectively. The $8,560,000 increase was primarily attributable to the effect of premium rate increases, offset by a reduction in the number of policies in force. Gross premiums earned from the United insurance policies assumed were $7,163,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $61,913,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. HCPCI gross
53
premiums earned were $291,406,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $330,969,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. TypTap’s gross premiums earned were $258,916,000 compared with $210,793,000 for the same comparative period in 2022.
Premiums Ceded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $203,051,000 and $184,108,000, respectively, representing 36.9% and 34.0%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The $18,943,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance costs for the 2023-2024 contract year and an increased overall reinsurance coverage amount for Florida, offset by a higher reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under reinsurance contracts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, premiums ceded included a decrease of $20,979,000 related to retrospective provisions compared with a decrease of $11,717,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Net Premiums Written for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled approximately $375,051,000 and $370,519,000, respectively. The increase in 2023 primarily resulted from the factors described earlier.
Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $347,271,000 and $357,654,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.
The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands):

Net Investment Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $35,893,000 and $25,082,000, respectively. The $10,811,000 increase was attributable to a $9,989,000 increase in interest income from cash and cash equivalents, a $9,521,000 increase in income from available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities, offset by a $5,971,000 decrease in income from real estate investments and a $2,416,000 decrease in income from limited partnership investments. See Net Investment Income under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net Realized Investment Losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1,586,000 and $1,204,000, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to net realized losses of approximately $1,539,000 from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with net realized losses of approximately $1,413,000 from sales of these securities during the corresponding period in 2022. In addition, there was a net realized gain of approximately $209,000 from sales of other investments during the corresponding period in 2022.
Net Unrealized Investment Gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $385,000 compared with approximately $8,157,000 of net unrealized investment losses for the nine months ended
54
September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall improvement in the equity market compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $189,181,000 and $299,328,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The losses and loss adjustment expenses of HCPCI Insurance Operations were $86,254,000 and $165,915,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower number of policies in force as well as fewer claims and less litigation related to Florida policies as compared with the corresponding period of 2022 which included $42,346,000 of losses from Hurricane Ian. Furthermore, losses related to United policies assumed, renewed and/or replaced were lower by $28,565,000. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for TypTap were $105,317,000 compared with $129,833,000 for the same comparative period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower incurred losses recorded for Hurricane Ian during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Such losses were $4,980,000 compared with $22,251,000 for the corresponding period in 2022. In addition, losses from United-related po1icies were $10,102,000 lower. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $68,106,000 and $80,949,000 on a consolidated basis, respectively. Policy acquisition expenses for HCPCI Insurance Operations were $31,787,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $48,429,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in amortized costs was primarily due to a reduction of policies in force. TypTap Group policy acquisition expenses were $36,393,000 compared with $32,633,000 for the same comparative period, with the increase due to higher amortized costs attributable to the accelerated transition of United policies, offset by lower policy acquisition costs in Florida resulting from lower commissions.
General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $41,638,000 and $45,183,000, respectively. The period-over-period decrease of $3,545,000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and an increase in recovered and capitalized payroll costs, offset by an adjustment to increase employee incentive bonuses, an increase in the headcount of temporary and full-time employees and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in late February 2023.
Interest Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $8,295,000 and $4,929,000, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from interest expense related to our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in May 2022, partially offset by decreased interest expense from a reduction in promissory notes on our real estate investments.
55
Income Tax Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $15,146,000 for state, federal, and foreign income taxes compared with $13,907,000 of income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 23.9% and 19.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the increase in non-deductible compensation, partially offset by the release of valuation allowance established in 2022 during the nine months of 2023 and the recognition of tax benefits attributable to restricted stock that vested in February and May 2023.
The loss ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 54.5% compared with 83.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses due to fewer claims and less litigation related to Florida policies, and higher average premium per policy as compared with the corresponding period in 2022.
The expense ratio applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 39.0% compared with 42.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in reinsurance costs and the increase in interest expense, offset by the decrease in policy acquisition, underwriting, personnel, and other operating expenses.
The combined ratio is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 93.5% compared with 126.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was attributable to the factors described above.
Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 59.0% compared with 83.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses and the decrease in policy acquisition, underwriting, personnel, and other operating expenses, offset in part by the increase in interest expense.
Seasonality of Our Business
Our insurance business is seasonal as hurricanes and tropical storms affecting Florida, our primary market, and other southeastern states typically occur during the period from June 1st through November 30th of each year. Winter storms in the northeast usually occur during the period between December 1st and March 31st of each year. Also, with our reinsurance treaty year typically effective on June 1st of each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in reinsurance rates, coverage levels or changes in the total insured value of our policy base, will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning on June 1st of each year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Throughout our history, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuances of our common and preferred stock, debt offerings and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the cash received by our insurance subsidiaries from premiums written and investment income. We may consider raising additional capital through debt and/or equity offerings to support our growth and future investment opportunities.
Our insurance subsidiaries require liquidity and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our liabilities and invested assets. In
the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. With the exception of litigated claims, substantially all of our losses and loss adjustment expenses are fully settled and paid within approximately 90 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.
We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.
In the future, we anticipate our primary use of funds will be to pay claims, reinsurance premiums, interest, and dividends and to fund operating expenses and real estate acquisitions.

Limited Partnership Investments
Our limited partnership investments consist of six private equity funds managed by their general partners. Two of these funds have unexpired capital commitments which are callable at the discretion of the fund’s general partner for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. Although capital commitments for the four remaining funds have expired, the general partners may request additional funds under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2023, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $4,931,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
57
Real Estate Investment
Real estate has long been a significant component of our overall investment portfolio. It diversifies our portfolio and helps offset the volatility of other higher-risk assets. Thus, we may consider expanding our real estate investment portfolio should an opportunity arise.
We had a 90% equity interest in FMKT Mel JV, LLC, a Florida limited liability company for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Following the sale of its last remaining outparcel in June 2022, FMKT Mel JV distributed its earnings during the third quarter of 2022 and the subsidiary was liquidated in December 2022. In January 2023, we received the final distribution of $18,000 from FMKT Mel JV.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $77,321,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, and reinsurance recoveries of approximately $206,901,000 less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash provided by investing activities of $25,714,000 was primarily due to the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $263,654,000, the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $27,794,000, the proceeds from sales of real estate investments of $21,746,000, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $3,088,000, offset by the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $280,493,000, the purchases of property and equipment of $5,184,000, the purchases of real estate investments of $2,296,000, and the purchase of intangible assets of $1,810,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $13,752,000, which was primarily due to $10,295,000 of cash dividend payments, the redemption of long-term debt of $6,895,000, cash dividends paid to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $6,762,000, $784,000 of share repurchases, and repayments of long-term debt of $437,000, offset by the proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $12,000,000.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $18,261,000, which consisted primarily of cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments less cash received from net premiums written and reinsurance recoveries (of approximately $34,222,000). Net cash used in investing activities of $311,352,000 was primarily due to the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $414,066,000, the purchases of property and equipment of $5,431,000, and the purchase of intangible assets from United of $3,800,000, offset by the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $52,023,000, the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $41,010,000, $14,500,000 of compensation received for the property relinquished through eminent domain, and distributions received from limited partnership investments of $4,732,000. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $56,955,000, which was primarily due to the proceeds from issuance of 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes of $172,500,000, offset by $76,166,000 of share repurchases, net repayment of our revolving credit facility of $15,000,000, $11,697,000 of net cash dividend payments, debt issuance costs paid of $6,014,000, cash dividends paid to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $5,508,000, and repayments of long-term debt of $754,000.
58
Investments
The main objective of our investment policy is to maximize our after-tax investment income with a reasonable level of risk given the current financial market. Our excess cash is invested primarily in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and fixed-maturity and equity securities.
At September 30, 2023, we had $458,616,000 of fixed-maturity and equity investments, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the general interest rate environment affect the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments. While a rising interest rate environment enhances the returns available on new investments, it reduces the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments and thus the availability of gains on disposition. A decline in interest rates reduces the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments but increases the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments, creating the opportunity for realized investment gains on disposition.
In the future, we may alter our investment policy with regard to investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2023, we had unexpired capital commitments for limited partnerships in which we hold interests. Such commitments are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 21 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. We base our estimates on various assumptions and actuarial data we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
We believe our accounting policies specific to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, limited partnership investments, acquired intangible assets, warrants, and redeemable noncontrolling interest involve our most significant judgments and estimates material to our consolidated financial statements.
Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) is specific to property insurance, which is our insurance subsidiaries’ only line of business. The Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. At each period end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience. Changes in the estimated liability are charged or credited to operations as the losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted.
The IBNR represents our estimate of the ultimate cost of all claims that have occurred but have not been reported to us, and in some cases may not yet be known to the insured, and future development of reported claims. Estimating the IBNR component of our Reserves involves considerable judgment on the part of management. At September 30, 2023, $645,523,000 of the total $709,089,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $63,566,000 relates to known cases which have been reported but not yet fully settled in which case we have established a reserve based on currently available information and our best estimate of the cost to settle each claim. At September 30, 2023, $54,457,000 of the $63,566,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.
Our Reserves decreased from $863,765,000 at December 31, 2022 to $709,089,000 at September 30, 2023. The $154,676,000 decrease is comprised of reductions in our catastrophe Reserves of $151,242,000 primarily specific to Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Irma, and reductions in our non-catastrophe Reserves of $77,742,000 for 2022 and $27,465,000 for 2021 and prior loss years, offset by $101,773,000 in reserves established for the 2023 loss year. The Reserves established for 2023 claims are primarily driven by an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of September 30, 2023. The decrease of $256,449,000 specific to our 2022 and prior loss-years reserves is due to settlement of claims related to those loss years.
Based on all information known to us, we consider our Reserves at September 30, 2023 to be adequate to cover our claims for losses that have occurred as of that date including losses yet to be reported to us. However, these estimates are continually reviewed by management as they are subject to significant variability and may be impacted by trends in claim severity and frequency or unusual exposures that have not yet been identified. As part of the process, we review historical data and consider various factors, including known and anticipated regulatory and legal developments, changes in social attitudes, inflation and economic conditions. As experience develops and other data becomes available, these estimates are revised, as required, resulting in increases or decreases to the existing unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they are made, and the liabilities may deviate substantially from prior estimates.
Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions
From time to time, our reinsurance contracts may include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of loss experience obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under the contract. In the event that a loss arises, we will derecognize such asset in the period in which a loss arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our operating results when a catastrophic loss event occurs during the contract term.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we accrued benefits of $6,993,000 and $3,843,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we accrued benefits of $20,979,000 and $11,717,000, respectively. The accrual of benefits was recognized as a reduction in ceded premiums.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $37,296,000 of accrued benefits, the amount that would be charged to earnings in the event we experience a catastrophic loss that exceeds the coverage limit provided under such agreements.
We believe the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal based on available information about the reinsurer’s financial position and the reinsurer’s demonstrated ability to comply with contract terms.

The above and other accounting estimates and their related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no other material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our investment portfolio at September 30, 2023 included fixed-maturity and equity securities, the purposes of which are not for speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Our investment securities are managed primarily by outside investment advisors and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our Board of Directors. From time to time, our investment committee may decide to invest in low-risk assets such as U.S. government bonds.
Our investment portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Fiscal and economic uncertainties caused by any government action or inaction may exacerbate these risks and potentially have adverse impacts on the value of our investment portfolio.
We classify our fixed-maturity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income within our stockholders’ equity. As such, any material temporary changes in their fair value can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity. In addition, we recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to our equity securities in our statement of income. As a result, our results of operations can be materially affected by the volatility in the equity market.
Interest Rate Risk
Our fixed-maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.
The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates to the fair value of our fixed-maturity securities at September 30, 2023 (amounts in thousands):

Credit Risk
Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate the risk by investing in fixed-maturity securities that are generally investment grade, by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or business sector, and by continually monitoring each individual security for declines in credit quality. While we emphasize credit quality in our investment selection process, significant downturns in the markets or general economy may impact the credit quality of our portfolio.

Equity Price Risk
Our equity investment portfolio at September 30, 2023 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. We may incur potential losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage the risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset mix.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluating their benefits relative to costs.
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023.
ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on the Payment of Dividends
We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries, however, are subject to restrictions on the dividends they may pay. Those restrictions could impact HCI’s ability to pay future dividends.
Under Florida law, a domestic insurer may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholders except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, a Florida domestic insurer may not make dividend payments or distributions to its stockholders without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of (1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains.
Alternatively, a Florida domestic insurer may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the FLOIR if (1) the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards to policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains or (b) the insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, (2) the insurer will have policy holder capital surplus equal to or exceeding 115.0% of the minimum required statutory capital surplus after the dividend or distribution, (3) the insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the FLOIR at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution and (4) the notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution, the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory capital surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, a Florida domiciled insurer may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (1) subject to prior approval by the FLOIR or (2) 30 days after the FLOIR has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our insurance subsidiaries paid dividends of $10,000,000 to HCI.
