2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2019, the results of DBMG, GMSL, ANG, ICS, CIG, Genovel, R2, and HC2 Broadcasting have been consolidated into the Company’s results based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" 810, Consolidation). The remaining interests not owned by the Company are presented as a noncontrolling interest component of total equity.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications and combinations had no effect on previously reported net loss attributable to controlling interest or accumulated deficit. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2018, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017, as amended by amendment no.1, filed on March 28, 2017 (collectively "Form 10-K").12, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

2019.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 and assumptions used.

Adjustments

During the second quarterStatement of 2016, the Company identified an immaterial error in its calculation of depreciation expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to purchase accounting associated with the acquisition of DBMG in May 2014. This resulted in an excess depreciation expense being recorded in each of the periods noted. In addition, certain gains and losses on assets that were disposed of by DBMG were incorrectly recorded during the same periods as a result of these adjustments.Cash Flows

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s 2018 Form 10-K includes discussion of significant recent accounting pronouncements that either have impacted or may impact our financial statements in the future. The following discussion provides information about recently adopted and recently issued or changed accounting guidance (applicable to the Company) that have occurred since the Company filed its 2018 Form 10-K. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Accounting Pronouncements Early Adopted DuringEffective January 1, 2019 the Fiscal YearCompany adopted the accounting pronouncements described below.

TestingAccounting for Goodwill ImpairmentLeases

ASU 2016-02, Leases, was issued by FASB in February 2016. This standard requires the Company, as the lessee, to recognize most leases on the balance sheet thereby resulting in the recognition of right of use assets and lease obligations for those leases currently classified as operating leases. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and the Company elected the optional transition method as well as the package of practical expedients upon adoption. Upon adoption, the Company recognized right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities in the amount of $67.1 million and $74.1 million, respectively, within Other assets and Other liabilities lines of the Condensed Consolidated Financial

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

Statements, respectively, and utilizing the modified retrospective approach, we evaluated ROU assets for impairment and determined that approximately $5.1 million of newly recognized ROU assets that existed immediately prior to the effective date were impaired. The impairment of ROU assets as of January 1, 2019, was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings and noncontrolling interests.

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted Subsequent to December 31, 2019

Credit Loss Standard

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,2016-13, IntangiblesFinancial Instruments - Goodwill and OtherCredit Losses (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was issued by FASB in June 2016. This standard is effective January 1, 2020 (with early adoption permitted), and will impact, at least to some extent, the Company's accounting and disclosure requirements for its recoverable from reinsurers, accounts receivable, and mortgage loans. Available for sale fixed maturity securities are not in scope of the new credit loss model but will undergo targeted improvements to the current reporting model including the establishment of a valuation allowance for credit losses versus the current direct write down approach. The Company will continue to identify any other financial assets not excluded from scope. The Company does not currently requiresexpect to early adopt this standard and is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Outlined below are key areas of change, although there are other changes not noted below:

Financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with an entityallowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net carrying value that has not elected the private company alternative for goodwill to perform a two-step test to determinereflects the amount if any,the entity expects to collect on the financial asset at purchase.

Credit losses relating to available for sale fixed maturity securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, rather than reductions in the amortized cost of goodwill impairment. In Step 1, an entity compares the fairsecurities and is anticipated to increase volatility in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allowance methodology recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Ifcontractual cash flows or through the carryingsale of the security. Therefore, the amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity performs Step 2 and compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwillallowance for that reporting unit. An impairment charge equalcredit losses will be limited to the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value ofis below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that goodwill is recorded, limited torecognizes that the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. To address concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step goodwill impairment test, the amendments in this ASU remove the second step of the test. An entity will now apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over itsinvestment could be sold at fair value, not to exceedif cash collection would result in the totalrealization of an amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective March 31, 2017, resulting in no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.less than fair value.

New Accounting PronouncementsThe Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations will reflect the measurement of expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases (including the reversal of previously recognized losses) of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014,Disclosures will be required to include information around how the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirementscredit loss allowance was developed, further details on information currently disclosed about credit quality of financing receivables and net investments in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligationsleases, and Licensing, an update on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which includes amendments for enhanced clarificationa rollforward of the guidance. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes amendments of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the technical corrections and improvements project. Lastly, in February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accountingallowance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets to clarify the scope of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and provide guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This ASU clarifiescredit losses for available for sale fixed maturity securities as well as an aging analysis for securities that the unit of account under ASU 610-20 is each distinct nonfinancial or in substance nonfinancial asset and that a financial asset that meets the definition of an "in substance nonfinancial asset" is within the scope of ASC 610-20. This ASU eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate and removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model. The ASUs described above are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.past due.

The Company anticipates adoptinga significant impact on its systems, processes and controls. While the new standard effective January 1, 2018. Although the Company is still in the process of evaluating the full impactrequirements of the new standard on its financial statements, at this stageguidance represent a material change from existing GAAP, the underlying economics of items in scope and related cash flows are unchanged. The FASB has voted to delay the process, it expects to apply the modified retrospective transition method and does not believe the adoptioneffective date of ASU 2014-092016-13 to January 1, 2023 for smaller reporting companies with a revised ASU expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Currently, the Company continues to focus on developing models and procedures, with testing and refinement of models occurring in 2020 and 2021 with parallel testing to performed in 2022. Focus areas will include, but not be limited to: (i) updating procedures to reflect new guidance requiring establishment of allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities; (ii) establishing procedures to review reinsurance risk to include but not limited to review of reinsurer ratings, trust agreements where applicable and historical and current performance; (iii) establishing procedures to identify and review all remaining financial assets within scope; and (iv) developing, testing, and implementing controls for newly developed procedures, as well as for additional annual reporting requirements.

Long-Duration Contracts

ASU 2018-12, Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, was issued by the FASB in August 2018 and is expected to have a significant impact on the amount or timingCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The standard is effective January 1, 2021 (with early adoption permitted), and will impact, at least to some extent, Company's accounting and disclosure requirements for its long-duration insurance contracts. The Company does not currently expect to early adopt this standard and is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on its revenues.consolidated financial statements.

Outlined below are key areas of change, although there are other changes not noted below:

Cash flow assumptions must be reviewed at least annually and updated if necessary. The impact of these updates will be reported through net income. Current accounting policy requires the liability assumptions for long-duration contracts and limited payment contracts be locked in at contract inception, unless the contracts project a loss position which would allow the liability assumptions to be unlocked so that the loss could be recognized.

Material revenue streams were identifiedThe rate used to discount the liability projections is to be based on an A-rated asset with observable market inputs and representative contract/transaction types were sampled. Performance obligations identified within each material revenue stream were evaluatedduration consistent with the duration of the liabilities. The discount rate is to determine whetherbe updated quarterly with the obligations were satisfied at a point in time or over time.  The evaluation of miscellaneous revenue streams, updating internal controls and the related qualitative disclosures regarding the potential impact of the effectschange in the discount rate recognized through other comprehensive income. Current accounting policy allows the use of an expected investment yield (which is not required to be observable in the market) to discount the liability projections.

Deferred acquisition costs for long-duration contracts are to be amortized in proportion to premiums, gross profits, or gross margins and those balances must be amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected life of the contract. Current accounting policiespolicy would amortize deferred acquisition costs based on revenue and profits. The Company does not have any deferred acquisition costs but VOBA amortization will follow this new guidance.

Market risk benefits are to be measured at fair value and presented separately in the statement of financial position. Under current accounting policy benefit features that will meet the definition of market risk benefits are accounted for as embedded derivatives or insurance liabilities via the benefit ratio model. The Company does not have any benefit features that will be categorized as market risk benefits.

Disaggregated rollforwards of beginning to ending balances of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, VOBA, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions, and methods used in measurement are required to be disclosed.

The Company anticipates that the requirement to update assumptions for liability for future policy benefits will increase volatility in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations while the requirement to update the discount rate will increase volatility in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. The Company anticipates a comparisonsignificant impact on the systems, processes and controls. While the requirements of the new guidance represent a material change from existing GAAP, the underlying economics of the Company's Insurance segment and related cash flows are unchanged.

The FASB has voted to delay the Company’s current revenue recognition policies will continue duringeffective date of ASU 2018-12 to January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies with a revised ASU expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Instruments with down round feature

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2017-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, ASU 2017-11 requires entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For2019. Currently, the Company ASU 2017-11 is effectiveplans to focus on developing models and procedures through 2021, with testing and refinement of models occurring in 2022 and parallel testing to performed in 2023. Focus areas will include, but not be limited to: (i) determining an appropriate upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield source from the market; (ii) establishing appropriate aggregation of liabilities; (iii) establishing liability models for fiscal years,each contract grouping identified that may be quickly updated to reflect current inforce listing and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted,new discount rates on a quarterly basis; (iv) establishing appropriate best estimate assumptions with no provision for adverse deviation; (v) establishing procedures for annual review of assumptions including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the implementation datetracking of actual experience for enhanced reporting requirements; (vi) establishing new VOBA amortization that will align with new guidance for DAC amortization; and the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.(vii) developing, testing, and implementing controls for newly developed procedures, as well as for additional annual reporting requirements.

The new businesses provide steel detailing, BIM modelling and BIM management services for industrial and commercial construction projects in Australia and North America. OnMerger, dated November 1, 2016, DBMG acquired BDS VirCon ("BDS"). BDS provides steel detailing, rebar detailing and BIM modelling services for industrial and commercial projects in Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe.29, 2018. The aggregate fair value of the cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of PDC and BDSGrayWolf was $25.5 million, including $21.4 million in cash. Both transactions were$139.8 million. The transaction was accounted for as business acquisitions.acquisition.

The size and breadth of the GrayWolf acquisition necessitates use of the one year measurement period to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date, including, but not limited to deferred tax assets.  

Goodwill was determined based on the residual differences between fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill was approximately $2.9$10.9 million assigned to the assembled and trained workforce. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Energy Segment

For the year ended December 31, 2016, ANG completed four acquisitions comprised of an aggregate of twenty-one fueling stations. The total fair value of the consideration transferred by ANG in connection with the acquisitions was $42.1 million, comprised of $39.2 million in cash and a $2.9 million 4.25% seller note, due in 2022. See Note 12. Long-term Obligations for further details. Two of the transactions were accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets related to acquired stations.

For the transactions accounted for as a business combination, the fair value of consideration transferred was allocated among the identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed, intangibles and residual goodwill. For the two transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions the preliminary fair value of consideration transferred was preliminarily allocated based on the relative fair value (in thousands):
Purchase price allocation  
Accounts receivable $1,303
Property, plant and equipment, net 43,267
Goodwill 748
Intangibles 4,984
Other assets 79
Total assets acquired 50,381
Accounts payable and other current liabilities (898)
Deferred tax liability (7,086)
Total liabilities assumed (7,984)
Bargain purchase gain (340)
Total net assets acquired $42,057

The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquired businesses was based upon a preliminary valuation. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period. The primary areas of preliminary allocation of the fair values of consideration transferred that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain property, plant and equipment, deferred tax liability, intangible assets acquired and the residual goodwill. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation for fiscal year 2016 acquisitions during fiscal year 2017.

Approximately $7.1 million of the fair value of consideration transferred has been provisionally assigned to customer contracts with an estimated useful life ranging between four and fifteen years. The multi-period excess earnings method was used to assign fair value to the acquired customer contracts.

Goodwill was determined based on the residual differences between fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Results of operations from the acquired stations since acquisition dates have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pro forma results of operations for ANG's acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Other Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we completed the acquisition of additional interests in and thereby control of NerVve and BeneVir, and acquired a 60% controlling interest in CWind Limited ("CWind") with an obligation to purchase the remaining 40% in equal amounts on September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017 (based on agreed financial targets). The total consideration transferred for these acquisitions was $14.9 million, including $9.2 million in cash. On November 1, 2016, we completed the renegotiation of the deferred purchase obligation to purchase the outstanding 40% minority interest of CWind and purchased the remaining 40% on that date. All three transactions were accounted for as business acquisitions.
Results of operations from other acquisitions since the respective acquisition dates have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 14, 2019, ANG acquired ampCNG's 20 natural gas fueling stations, located primarily in the Southeastern U.S. and Texas, for cash consideration of $41.2 million. ANG’s network reach expanded to over 60 stations, making it one of the largest owners and operators of compressed natural gas stations in the country.

To finance the acquisition, ANG entered into a term loan with M&T bank for $28.0 million and issued preferred stock and ten year warrants for common stock for $14.0 million. The following table summarizespreferred stock bears a 14% coupon and is mandatorily redeemable in four years. The warrants are exercisable at $0.001 per share of common stock and will represent 6% of ANG when exercised. ANG received $5.0 million of proceeds from CGI. Consequently, related preferred stock and warrants are eliminated in consolidation. Preferred stock and warrants are recorded within Other liabilities.

Fixed MaturityGain on bargain purchase was driven by the Tax Cuts and Equity Securities Available-for-SaleJobs Act, which was not stipulated in the negotiations for the transaction and resulted in a material decline in the Value of Business Acquired balance, corresponding deferred tax position and, ultimately, recognition of the bargain purchase gain, largely driven by the following attributes:

The following tables provide information relatingUnified Loss Rules tax attribute reduction to investmentstax value of assets and the seller tax adjustments to tax value of liabilities contribute significantly to the bargain purchase price. 

The reduction in fixed maturitythe federal income tax rate, from 35% at the time the seller contribution was established to 21% effective January 1, 2018, effectively generates the remaining balance for the bargain purchase price.

Reinsurance Recoverable

The reinsurance recoverable balance represents amounts recoverable from third parties. U.S. GAAP requires insurance reserves and reinsurance recoverable balances to be presented on a gross basis, as opposed to U.S. statutory accounting principles, where reserves are presented net of reinsurance. Accordingly, the Company has investments in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") that contain embedded derivatives (primarily interest-only MBS) that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company recorded the change ingrossed up the fair value of the net insurance contract liability for the amount of reinsurance of approximately $902.5 million, to arrive at a gross insurance liability, and recognized an offsetting reinsurance recoverable amount of approximately $902.5 million. As part of this process, management considered reinsurance counterparty credit risk and considers it to have an immaterial impact on the reinsurance fair value gross-up. To mitigate this risk substantially all reinsurance is ceded to companies with investment grade S&P ratings.
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers were estimated in a manner consistent with the liability associated with the reinsured policies and were an estimate of the reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported. Reinsurance recoverable represent expected cash inflows from reinsurers for liabilities ceded and therefore incorporate uncertainties as to the timing and amount of claim payments. Reinsurance recoverable includes the balances due from reinsurers under the terms of the reinsurance agreements for these securities within Net realized gains (losses)ceded balances as well as settlement amounts currently due.

The Value of Business Acquired

VOBA reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition less the amount recorded as insurance contract liabilities. It represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the rights to receive future cash flows from the business in force at the acquisition date. A VOBA liability (negative asset) occurs when the estimated fair value of in-force contracts in a life insurance company acquisition is less than the amount recorded as insurance contract liabilities. HC2 calculated VOBA by adjusting the purchase price, which was derived on investments. These investments hada statutory accounting basis, for differences between statutory and U.S. GAAP accounting requirements. Amortization is based on assumptions consistent with those used in the development of the underlying contract adjusted for emerging experience and expected trends.

Life, accident and health reserves

HC2 estimated the fair value of reserves on a fair value basis, using actuarial assumptions consistent with those used for the buyer’s valuation of $12.1the acquired business, and discount rates reflecting capital market conditions. The reserve accounts for the present value of all future cash flows, net of reinsurance, of the acquired block of insurance, including premium, benefit payments, and expenses. HC2 estimated the fair value of recoverable from reinsurers using the same assumptions as those for reserves of the net retained business, but applied to business ceded through various, existing reinsurance agreements.  

Life Sciences Segment

On June 8, 2018, Pansend closed on the sale of its approximately 75.9% ownership in BeneVir to Janssen Biotech, Inc. (“Janssen”). In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, Janssen made an upfront cash payment of $140.0 million. Pansend received a cash payment of $93.4 million and $15.2received an additional cash payment of $13.3 million ason September 16, 2019, which was previously held in an escrow, for a total consideration of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The change in fair value related to these securities resulted in$106.7 million. Pansend recorded a gain on the sale of $0.6$102.1 million, of which $21.7 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests. HC2 received a cash payment of $72.8 million and zero loss foran additional cash payment of $9.8 million from the threerelease of the escrow.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Pansend is eligible to receive payments of up to $189.7 million upon the achievement of specified development milestones and up to $493.1 million upon the achievement of specified levels of annual net sales of licensed products. From these potential milestone payments, HC2 is eligible to receive up to $512.2 million.
Broadcasting Segment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, HC2 Broadcasting acquired a netseries of licenses for a total cash consideration of $16.1 million and $71.4 million, respectively. All transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions.

Other Segment

On August 14, 2018, 704Games issued a 53.5% equity interest to international media and technology company Motorsport Network. As a result, HC2’s ownership percentage in 704Games was diluted to 26.2% resulting in the loss of approximately $0.1 millioncontrol and $2.4 million fordeconsolidation of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.entity.

The determination of whether unrealized losses are "other-than-temporary" requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors considered and resources used by management include (i) whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis, (iii) cash flow projections received from independent sources, (iv) historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings and news releases, (v) near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry, (vi) third party research and communications with industry specialists, (vii) financial models and forecasts, (viii) the continuity of dividend payments, maintenance of investment grade ratings and hybrid nature of certain investments, (ix) discussions with issuer management, and (x) ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company analyzes its MBSmortgage-backed securities ("MBS") for OTTI each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan-to-collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data.

The Company believes it will recover its cost basis in the non-impaired securities with unrealized losses and that the Company has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value. The Company neither intends to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2017.2019. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity and equity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company transferred $1.1 million of corporate and other bonds and $0.5 million of preferred stock from Level 1 into Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting the level of market activity in these instruments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources impacts the Company's ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3. The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer into Level 3 of $22.5 million and out of Level 3 of $57.0 million, primarily related to structured securities, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer out of Level 3 of $0.6$41.6 million andprimarily related to corporate securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer into Level 3 of $2.4$31.2 million primarily related to corporate securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.2018.

The methods and assumptions the Company uses to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Fixed Maturity Securities. The fair values of the Company’s publicly-traded fixed maturity securities are generally based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Prices from pricing services are sourced from multiple vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. In some cases, the Company receives prices from multiple pricing services for each security, but ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type. Consistent with the fair value hierarchy described above, securities with validated quotes from pricing services are generally reflected within Level 2, as they are primarily based on observable pricing for similar assets and/or other market observable inputs.

If the Company ultimately concludes that pricing information received from the independent pricing service is not reflective of market activity, non-binding broker quotes are used, if available. If the Company concludes the values from both pricing services and brokers are not reflective of market activity, it may override the information from the pricing service or broker with an internally developed valuation, however, this occurs infrequently. Internally developed valuations or non-binding broker quotes are also used to determine fair value in circumstances where vendor pricing is not available. These estimates may use significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Pricing service overrides, internally developed valuations and non-binding broker quotes are generally based on significant unobservable inputs and are reflected as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

The inputs used in the valuation of corporate and government securities include, but are not limited to, standard market observable inputs which are derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.


HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

For structured securities, valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans.


HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation techniques for determining the estimated fair value of certain types of securities that trade infrequently, and therefore have little or no price transparency, rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value but that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. These unobservable inputs are sometimes based in large part on management judgment or estimation, and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and are believed to be consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities.

The fair values of private placement securities are primarily determined using a discounted cash flow model. In certain cases, these models primarily use observable inputs with a discount rate based upon the average of spread surveys collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions, taking into account, among other factors, the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Generally, these securities have been reflected within Level 3. For certain private fixed maturities, the discounted cash flow model may also incorporate significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the security. To the extent management determines that such unobservable inputs are not significant to the price of a security, a Level 2 classification is made. Otherwise, a Level 3 classification is used.

Equity Securities. The balance consists principally of common and preferred stock of publicly and privately traded companies. The fair values of publicly traded equity securities are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of preferred equity securities, for which quoted market prices are not readily available, are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services and these securities are generally classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of common stock of privately held companies was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values and was classified as Level 3.

Cash Equivalents. The balance consists of money market instruments, which are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1. Various time deposits carried as cash equivalents are not measured at estimated fair value and, therefore, are excluded from the tables presented.

Derivatives. The balance consists of common stock purchase warrants and call options. The fair values of the call options are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Depending on the terms, the common stock warrants were valued using either Black-Scholes analysis or Monte Carlo Simulation. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values. As such, the common stock purchase warrants were classified as Level 3.

Warrant Liability. The balance represents warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the Insurance business and recorded within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation because the adjustments for exercise price and warrant shares represent path dependent features; the exercise price from comparable periods needs to be known to determine whether a subsequent sale of shares occurs at a price that is lower than the then current exercise price. The analysis entails a Geometric Brownian Motion based simulation of 100 unique price paths of the Company's stock for each combination of assumptions. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility, and a range of assumptions regarding a possibility of an equity capital raise each year and the expected size of future equity capital raises. The present value of a given simulated scenario was based on intrinsic value at expiration discounted to the valuation date, taking into account any adjustments to the exercise price or warrant shares issuable. The average present value across all 100 independent price paths represents the estimate of fair value for each combination of assumptions. Therefore, the warrant liability was classified as Level 3.

Contingent Liability. The balance represents the present value of the estimated obligation pursuant to the acquisition of the Insurance business. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including probability of rate increases as approved by state regulators. The liability was classified as Level 3.

(2) Excludes certain lease obligations accounted for under ASC 840,842, Leases.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate. The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is estimated by discounting cash flows, both principal and interest, using current interest rates for mortgage loans with similar credit ratings and similar remaining maturities. As such, inputs include current treasury yields and spreads, which are based on the credit rating and average life of the loan, corresponding to the market spreads. The valuation of mortgage loans on real estate is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans. The policy loans are reported at the unpaid principal balance and carry a fixed interest rate. The Company determined that the carrying value approximates fair value because (i) policy loans present no credit risk as the amount of the loan cannot exceed the obligation due upon the death of the insured or surrender of the underlying policy; (ii) there is no active market for policy loans (i.e., there is no commonly available exit price to determine the fair value of policy loans in the open market); (iii) policy loans are intricately linked to the underlying policy liability and, in many cases, policy loan balances are recovered through offsetting the loan balance against the benefits paid under the policy; and (iv) policy loans can be repaid by policyholders at any time, and this prepayment uncertainty reduces the potential impact of a difference between amortized cost (carrying value) and fair value. The valuation of policy loans is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Other Invested Assets. The balance primarily includes common stock purchase warrants. The fair values were derived using Black-Scholes analysis using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values; therefore, the common stock purchase warrants were classified as Level 3.

Annuity Benefits Accumulated. The fair value of annuity benefits was determined using the surrender values of the annuities and classified as Level 3.

Long-term Obligations. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was determined using Bloomberg Valuation Service BVAL. The methodology combines direct market observations from contributed sources with quantitative pricing models to generate evaluated prices and classified as Level 2.

An interim goodwill impairment evaluation was performed on each reporting unit as of September 30, 2017. On an annual basis, the Company performs a step 0 analysis. After considering all quantitative and qualitative factors, other than noted below, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the reporting units' fair values exceed carrying values as of the period end.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company concluded that a step 1 test of goodwill for the Other segment was necessary. This conclusion was based on certain indicators of impairment related to NerVve's deteriorated business conditions. The Company estimated the fair value of the NerVve reporting unit, using the income approach, at an implied fair value of goodwill of $0 and an impairment charge of $0.6 million. This impairment charge is included in Other operating (income) expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

14. Income Taxes

Income Tax (Expense) BenefitExpense

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting,, to calculate its 20172019 interim tax provision.

Income tax was an expense of $12.9$1.0 million and a benefit of $1.3$9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016, respectively. The income tax expense recorded September 30, 2017 relates to increase in profitability of the Insurance Segment and the mix of income and losses by taxpaying entities, including the Insurance segment. The income tax benefit recorded for September 30, 2016 relates to losses generated for which we expected to obtain benefits from in the future.

Income tax was an expense of $16.2 million and a benefit of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities.entities offset by a benefit from the release of the valuation allowance of the Insurance segment due to an increase in current year income.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2018 relates to the Insurance segment’s acquisition of Humana’s long term care business, KIC. The combined insurance entity projected a net operating loss for the year due to deductions for actuarial reserve strengthening. Income tax expense previously recorded was reversed in the period resulting in a benefit.

Income tax was an expense of $6.2 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities offset by a benefit from the release of the valuation allowance of the Insurance segment due to an increase in current year income. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration.

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CGI Producer Litigation

On November 28, 2016, Continental General Insurance Company ("CGI"),CGI, a subsidiary of the Company, Great American Financial Resource, Inc. ("GAFRI"), American Financial Group, Inc., and CIGNA Corporation were served with a putative class action complaint filed by John Fastrich and Universal Investment Services, Inc. in The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska alleging breach of contract, tortious interference with contract and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs contend that they were agents of record under various CGI policies and that CGI allegedly instructed policyholders to switch to other CGI products and caused the plaintiffs to lose commissions, renewals, and overrides on policies that were replaced. The complaint also alleges breach of contract claims relating to allegedly unpaid commissions related to premium rate increases implemented on certain long-term care insurance policies. Finally, the complaint alleges breach of contract claims related to vesting of commissions. On August 21, 2017, the Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ tortious interference with contract claim. CGI believes that the remaining allegations and claims set forth in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

The case was set for voluntary mediation, which occurred on January 26, 2018. The Court stayed discovery pending the outcome of the mediation. On February 12, 2018, the parties notified the Court that mediation did not resolve the case and that the parties’ discussions regarding a possible settlement of the action were still ongoing. The Court held a status conference on March 22, 2018, during which the parties informed the Court that settlement negotiations remain ongoing. Nonetheless, the Court entered a scheduling order setting the case for trial during the week of October 15, 2019. Meanwhile, the parties’ continued settlement negotiations led to a tentative settlement. On February 4, 2019, the plaintiffs executed a class settlement agreement with CGI, Loyal American Life Insurance Company, American Retirement Life Insurance Company, GAFRI, and American Financial Group, Inc. (collectively, the "Defendants"). The settlement agreement, which would require GAFRI to make a $1.25 million payment on behalf of the Defendants, is subject to final Court approval. On February 4, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the class settlement in a parallel action in the Southern District of Ohio, Case No. 17-CV-00615-SJD, which motion was granted by the Southern District of Ohio on April 2, 2019. Meanwhile, the case pending before the District of Nebraska was stayed on February 6, 2019, pending final approval of the class action settlement in the Ohio action. The final settlement hearing was held on September 17, 2019.

On October 7, 2019, the Court entered a final approval order certifying the class and approving the class settlement. Absent an appeal, the Court’s decision granting final approval in the Ohio action will become final on November 6, 2019, thirty days after the date of the Court’s order.
Further, the Company and CGI are seeking defense costs and indemnification for plaintiffs’ claims from GAFRI and Continental General Corporation ("CGC") under the terms of an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") related to the Company’s acquisition of CGI in December 2015. GAFRI and CGC rejected CGI’s demand for defense and indemnification and, on January 18, 2017, the Company and CGI filed a Complaint against GAFRI and CGC in the Superior Court of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment to enforce their indemnification rights under the SPA. On February 23, 2017, Great AmericanGAFRI answered CGI’s complaint, denying the allegations. Meanwhile, the parties’ continued settlement negotiations resulted in a settlement agreement in the Delaware action. The disputesettlement agreement, which requires CGI to contribute $250,000 to the settlement payment made by GAFRI in the class action, is ongoing and CGI will continue to pursue its right to a defense and indemnity undercontingent on the SPA.final approval of the class action settlement in the Ohio action.

Stockholders Litigation) and appointed lead plaintiff andplaintiffs' counsel.  The currently operative complaint is the Complaint filed by Mark Jacobs.  The Complaint alleges, among other things, that in connection with the tender offer, the individual members of the DBMG Board of Directors and HC2, the now-controlling stockholder of DBMG, breached their fiduciary duties to members of the plaintiff class.  The Complaint also purports to challenge a potential short-form merger based upon plaintiff’s expectation that the Company would cash out the remaining public stockholders of DBMG following the completion of the tender offer.  The Complaint seeks rescission of the tender offer and/or compensatory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief. The defendants filed answers to the Complaint on July 30, 2015. On February 24, 2017, the parties agreed to a framework for the potential settlement of the litigation.

From April 2017 to June 2017, plaintiff’s counsel continued to analyze the potential settlement framework and the facts and claims in the litigation. On July 17, 2017, plaintiff’s counsel submitted a status report to the Court stating that plaintiff’s counsel had determined to proceed with the prosecution of the action and had delivered a draft amended complaint to defendants.

On July 20, 2017, plaintiff’s counsel submitted a status report to the Court stating that the parties had agreed to reengage in discussions regarding a possible settlement of the action. On August 31, 2017, plaintiff’s counsel submitted a status report to the Court stating that plaintiff had provided defendants with a settlement proposal and the parties intended to continue settlement negotiations.

On September 29, 2017, plaintiff’s counsel submitted a status report to the Court stating that plaintiff anticipated receiving a settlement counterproposal from defendants and would evaluate the proposal before determining whether to continue potential settlement negotiations or file the amended complaint and proceed with briefing on defendants’ motions to dismiss and opposition to plaintiff’s class certification motion.

On October 31, 2017, plaintiff’s counsel submitted a status report to the Court stating that defendants provided plaintiff with a counterproposal to plaintiff’s settlement proposal.  Plaintiff and his counsel are evaluating the counterproposal and together with the defendants and their counsel intend to submit another status report to the Court by November 30, 2017.

On April 11, 2014, HC2’s Board of Directors adopted the HC2 Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "2014 Plan"), which was originally approved at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2014. On April 21, 2017, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, adopted the Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Restated 2014 Plan"). The Restated 2014 Plan was approved by HC2's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 14, 2017. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Restated 2014 Plan, the Restated 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of common stock of HC2, plus any shares that again become available for awards under the 2014 Plan, plus any shares that again become available for awards under the Restated 2014 Plan.

The Restated 2014 Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan. However, awards previously granted under the 2014 Plan will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the 2014 Plan. The Compensation Committee of HC2's Board of Directors administers the 2014 Plan and the Restated 2014 Plan and has broad authority to administer, construe and interpret the plans.

The Restated 2014 Plan provides for the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares.

The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share-based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

21. Basic and Diluted LossIncome Per Common Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities. As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock of the Company are considered participating securities. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), is computed using the "treasury" method.method as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2019, due to the results of
operations being a loss from continuing operations, net of tax.

The Company issued a warrant, Preferred Stock, as well as outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs granted under the Prior Plan and Omnibus Plan, each of which were potentially dilutive butfollowing potential weighted common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the calculation of diluted loss per common share duethree and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as the shares were antidilutive: 2,019,972 for outstanding warrants to their antidilutive effect.purchase the Company's stock and 4,787,602 for convertible preferred stock.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of HC2 Holdings, Inc. ("HC2," "we," "us," "our" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section in our Quarterly ReportsAnnual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for the quarterly periodsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2017 and June 30, 2017 filed with the SEC on August 9, 2017, and our Form 10-K,2018, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017,12, 2019, as well as the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Our Business

We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through seveneight operating platforms or reportable segments: Construction ("DBMG"), Marine Services ("GMSL"), Energy ("ANG"), Telecommunications ("ICS"), Insurance ("CIG"), Life Sciences ("Pansend"), Broadcasting, and Other, which includes businesses that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities, as well as monitor a variety of key indicators of our underlying platform companies in order to maximize stakeholder value. These indicators include, but are not limited to, revenue, cost of revenue, operating profit, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Furthermore, we work very closely with our subsidiary platform executive management teams on their operations and assist them in the evaluation and diligence of asset acquisitions, dispositions and any financing or operational needs at the subsidiary level. We believe that this close relationship allows us to capture synergies within the organization across all platforms and strategically position the Company for ongoing growth and value creation.

The potential for additional acquisitions and new business opportunities, while strategic, may result in acquiring assets unrelated to our current or historical operations. As part of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capital in the form of debt and/or equity securities (including preferred stock) or a combination thereof. We have broad discretion and experience in identifying and selecting acquisition and business combination opportunities and the industries in which we seek such opportunities. Many times, we face significant competition for these opportunities, including from numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours. As such, there can be no assurance that any of the past or future discussions we have had or may have with candidates will result in a definitive agreement and, if they do, what the terms or timing of any potential agreement would be. As part of our acquisition strategy, we may utilize a portion of our available cash to acquire interests in possible acquisition targets. Any securities acquired are marked to market and may increase short-term earnings volatility as a result.

We believe our track record, our platform and our strategy will enable us to deliver strong financial results, while positioning our Company for long-term growth. We believe the unique alignment of our executive compensation program, with our objective of increasing long-term stakeholder value, is paramount to executing our vision of long-term growth, while maintaining our disciplined approach. Having designed our business structure to not only address capital allocation challenges over time, but also maintain the flexibility to capitalize on opportunities during periods of market volatility, we believe the combination thereof positions us well to continue to build long-term stakeholder value.

Our Operations

Refer to Note 1. Organization and Business to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Seasonality
 
Our industrysegments' operations can be highly cyclical and subject to seasonal patterns. Our volume of business in our Construction and Marine Services segments may be adversely affected by declines or delays in projects, which may vary by geographic region. Project schedules, particularly in connection with large, complex, and longer-term projects can also create fluctuations in the services provided, which may adversely affect us in a given period.

For example, in connection with larger, more complicated projects, the timing of obtaining permits and other approvals may be delayed, and we may need to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on such projects when they move forward.

Examples of other items that may cause our results or demand for our services to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: weather or project site conditions, financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; margins of projects performed during any particular period; economic, and political and market conditions on a regional, national or global scale.

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.




Marine Services

Net revenue within our Marine Services segment can fluctuate depending on the season. Revenues are relatively stable for our Marine Services maintenance business as the core driver is the annual contractual obligation. However, this is not the case with our installation business (other than for long-term charter arrangements), in which revenues show a degree of seasonality. Revenues in our Marine Services installation business are driven by our customers’ need for new cable installations. Generally, weather downtime, and the additional costs related to downtime, is a significant factor in customers determining their installation schedules, and most installations are therefore scheduled for the warmer months. As a result, installation revenues are generally lower towards the end of the fourth quarter and throughout the first quarter, as most business is concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

Other than as described above, our businesses are not materially affected by seasonality.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions
Fugro and Dispositions

In October 2017, GMSL, an operating subsidiary of the Company, announced that it had entered into an agreement with Fugro N.V. ("Fugro") under which, subject to closing conditions, GMSL will acquire Fugro's trenching and cable lay services business. The purchase consideration, valued at approximately $73 million, consists of the issuance to a subsidiary of Fugro of a 23.6% equity interest in Global Marine Holdings LLC (the parent company of GMSL) valued at $65 million, and an obligation of GMSL to pay Fugro $7.5 million within one year pursuant to a secured loan to be incurred by GMSL from a subsidiary of Fugro, which loan bears interest, payable quarterly, at 4% per annum through December 31, 2017, and at 10% per annum thereafter, and matures 365 days following the Acquisition. One of the assets acquired, a Q1400 Trenching System, will serve as collateral security for the repayment of the loan pursuant to the terms of a lien agreement.

Once completed, the acquisition of this business will significantly enhance GMSL's comprehensive portfolio of integrated service offerings, immediately enabling GMSL to complete additional packages of work in direct response to market demands.

This2018. The decrease was due toprimarily driven by a decline in revenue from our TelecommunicationsConstruction segment, driven by our structural steel fabrication and erection business, which had increased activity in the comparable period on certain large commercial projects that are now at or near completion in the current period, partially offset by new revenues from DBMG’s acquisition of GrayWolf, our industrial construction, maintenance and fabrication business, which was acquired late in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adding to the decrease was our Telecommunication segment attributed to changes in our customer mix, fluctuations in wholesale voice termination volumes and market pressures, which resulted in a reductiondecline in revenue contribution. This was partially offset by an increase in our Insurance segment, net of eliminations, driven primarily by the KIC acquisition, which contributed additional net investment income and premiums, and a rotation into higher yielding investments, particularly mortgage loans and preferred stocks, and from higher average invested fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans.



Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $33.9 million to $1,485.7 million from $1,451.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in revenue was driven by improvements in our Insurance and Construction segments. The increase in the Insurance segment, net of eliminations, was driven by the incremental net investment income and policy premiums from the KIC block acquisition and higher net investment income from the legacy CGI block driven by both the growth and mix of the investment portfolio, including a rotation into additional fixed rate assets. The increase in our Construction segment was primarily driven by DBMG’s acquisition of GrayWolf, which was acquired late in the fourth quarter of 2018. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our Telecommunication segment, which can be attributed to changes in our customer mix, fluctuations in wholesale traffic volumes, and market pressures, and our Marine Services segment, primarily driven by a reduction in revenue contribution from telecom installation revenues. The decrease was offset by our Construction segment, largely due to contribution from large complex projects gaining momentum in the Western region,number and additional revenues from the acquisitionsscale of PDCGMSL projects under execution for cable installation and BDS, which were acquiredrepair work in the fourth quarter of 2016.offshore renewables, power utility and telecom end markets.

Further improvements to conditional non-forfeiture options ("CNFO") elections and terminations exceeding plan. Thisour comparable income from operations was partially offset bythe result of lower losses at our Marine Services segment driven by an increase in the scale of telecom cable installation projects, higher than expected costs on a certain offshore power construction project in the comparable period, and decreases in revenue,unutilized vessel costs.

Income (loss) from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $105.7 million to income of $62.1 million from a loss of $43.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Gain on bargain purchase: Gain on bargain purchase was zero and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $109.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change was attributable to the Insurance segment's acquisition of KIC. The gain on bargain purchase was driven by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was not stipulated in the negotiations for the transaction and resulted in a material decline in the Value of Business Acquired balance and a corresponding deferred tax position.

Other expenses,income, net:Other expense,income, net for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 decreased $4.5$57.1 million to $0.1$6.8 million from $4.6$63.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018.

This was partially offset by gains at our Life Sciences segment, driven by the Medibeacon equity transaction in the third quarter of 2019, and by current period gains on the embedded derivative related to one fixed maturity security and the step-down acquisition loss from our consolidation of NerVve in August 2016.

All segments recognized increased revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Construction segment was a major driver of the increase, largely due to revenues from the acquisitions of PDC2019 and BDS. In addition, we had growth in the Insurance segment due to an increase in net investment income and net gains realized from sales of fixed maturity and equity securities, our Telecommunications segment as a result of growth in wholesale traffic volumes and an increase in revenue in our Marine Services segment driven by offshore power installation revenues. Further adding to the increase was our Energy segment as a result of Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG") sales from new fueling stations acquired or developed after the third quarter of 2016.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $7.8 million to $39.4 million from $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Gain on contingent consideration: Gain on contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $4.4 million to $6.0 million from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income from equity investees: Income from equity investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $9.5 million to $12.7 million from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in income was driven by Inseego, as the Company did not recognize losses from our investment in the current period as our basis in this investment is zero, and our Marine Services segment, principally from its equity interests in HMN, which realized a significant increase in earnings compared to the prior period. This was partially offset by our investment in MediBeacon as a result of our increased ownership and additional expenses following successful completion of development and clinical milestones.

Other expenses, net: Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.3 million to $8.1 million compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is attributable to an increase in impairment expense in 2017, driven by impairments of one fixed maturity security and our original investment in DTV, and an increase foreign currency transaction expense largely driven by our Marine Services segment, offset by a prior year impairment related to one fixed maturity security.



Income tax (expense) benefit: Income tax (expense) benefit was an expense of $16.2 million and a benefit of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities.entities offset by a benefit from the release of the valuation allowance of the Insurance segment due to an increase in current year income. Additionally, the tax benefits associated with losses generated by the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return and certain other businesses have been reduced by a full valuation allowance as we do not believe it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will be utilized prior to expiration. The income tax benefitexpense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 20162018 relates to losses generatedthe projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for which we expectedtaxpaying entities. Additionally, previously recorded tax expense had been reversed as a result of the Insurance segment’s acquisition of Humana’s long term care business, Kanawha Insurance Company. The combined insurance entity projected a net operating loss for the year due to obtain benefits fromdeductions for the actuarial reserve strengthening. No additional income tax benefit for the combined insurance entity was recorded as it was in the future based on our weighting of all positivea cumulative loss position and negative evidence that existed at the time. This benefit was partially offset by a valuation allowance continued to be maintained against its deferred tax assets. The income tax expense generated from the sale of BeneVir was offset by tax attributes for which a valuation allocation had been recorded. No benefit was recognized on the losses of the HC2 U.S. tax consolidated group and the losses of their subsidiaries as valuation allowances are recorded againston the deferred tax assets of the Insurance segment during the first quarter of 2016.these companies.

These increases weretravel and entertainment, partially offset by a reduction in share-based compensation expense as a result of equity awards which fully vested in the first quarter of 2016 and minimal grants of such equity awards in 2016 and professional fees related to the restatement of 2014 results in 2016, which were not present in the current period.

The HC2 Compensation Committee established annual salary, cash and equity-based bonus arrangements for certain HC2 executive employees. In determining the amounts payable pursuant to such cash and equity-based bonus arrangements for these employees, the Company has historically measured the growth in the Company’s NAV in accordance with a formula established by HC2’s Compensation Committee (“Compensation NAV”). The Compensation NAV is generally determined by dividing the end of year Compensation NAV per share by the beginning year Compensation NAV per share and subtracting 1 from this amount (the “NAV Return”), and then subtracting the required threshold return rate from the NAV Return.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, underlying performance of the Compensation NAV increased 24.0% as compared to an increase of less than 1% for the comparable period.  Because the NAV Return did not exceed the required threshold return rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the 2016 beginning year Compensation NAV per share was equal to the 2015 end of year Compensation NAV per share. A Compensation NAV bonus was not accrued for in respect of the nine months ended September 30, 2016, because the NAV Return did not exceed the required threshold return rate.employee wage and benefits expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of operations and any consolidating eliminations of our Insurance segment.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for depreciation and amortization; amortization of equity method fair value adjustments at acquisition; Other operating (income) expense, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets;assets, lease termination costs;costs, asset impairment expense;expense, and FCC reimbursements; interest expense; net gain (loss) on contingent consideration; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; gain (loss) on sale of subsidiaries; other (income) expense, net; foreign currency transaction (gain) loss included in cost of revenue; income tax (benefit) expense; (gain) loss from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; bonus to be settled in equity; share-based compensation expense; non-recurring items; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $9.8 million and $18.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to our Marine Services segment, driven by decreases in telecom installation revenues, a reduction in equity method income, and increased losses from our Life Sciences segment, as our early stage companies continue to develop their businesses and meet major milestones.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely due todriven by gross profit contribution from large complex projects which began gaining momentum during the third quarter of 2017, primarilyGrayWolf acquisition and an increase in project work in our construction modeling and detailing business. Despite the Western region,decrease in revenue in our structural steel fabrication and from the acquisitions of PDC and BDS in the fourth quarter of 2016.erection business, gross profit only decreased slightly, driven by strong project execution on certain commercial projects. This was partially offset by better-than-bid performance on commercial projects inhigher selling, general and administrative expense due primarily to the West region recognized in the comparable period.GrayWolf acquisition.

Marine Services: Adjusted EBITDA incomeNet loss from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 decreased $5.3$3.1 million to $8.8income of $2.6 million from $14.1loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018.

The decreaseincrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher GMSL gross profit as a reduction in revenue contributionresult of improved profitability from telecom installation revenues,maintenance zones and fromproject work in the offshore power and offshore renewables end markets, as well as the benefit of improved vessel utilization. Additionally, the comparable period was impacted by higher than expected costs on a reductioncertain offshore power construction project that were not repeated in equity method income, largely fromthe current period. Partially offsetting these improvements was a decline in joint venture income from equity method investees, due in HMN when comparedpart to the prior period.timing of HMN turnkey project work.

Energy: Adjusted EBITDA incomeNet loss from our Energy segment for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 decreased $0.4by $0.5 million to $0.3a loss of $0.1 million from $0.7a loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 attributable2018.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the recently acquired ampCNG stations and repairan increase in gross profit contribution from higher CNG sales volumes. The increases were partially offset by decreases in income recognized from renewable energy tax credits related to the sale of RNG, as well as increases in selling, general and maintenanceadministrative expenses associated withas a result of the integrationacquisition of acquired stations from Constellation CNG and Questar Fueling Company.the ampCNG stations.

Telecommunications: Adjusted EBITDANet income from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 decreased $0.7by $1.6 million to $1.5a loss of $0.3 million from $2.2income of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $0.7 million to $0.8 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due primarily to fluctuationsboth a decline in wholesalerevenue and the contracting of call traffic terminated,termination margin as a result of the continued decline in the international long distance market, partially offset by the continued focus on higher margin wholesale traffic mix, improved operational efficiencies,a decrease in compensation expense due to headcount decreases and customer relationships across the platform.reductions in bad debt expense.

Life Sciences: Net loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $8.2 million to income of $5.6 million from a loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 increased $5.3$1.0 million to $8.2$4.0 million from $2.9 million due to a progress-driven increase in costs at early-stage consolidating subsidiaries, principally R2, and an increase in equity method losses recorded for MediBeacon as a result of increased expenses following ongoing and successful completion of development and clinical milestones.

Other and Eliminations: Adjusted EBITDA loss from the Other segment and eliminations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $3.7 million to $1.1 million from $4.8$3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018. The decrease inincrease was primarily driven by R2 Dermatology, which recently received funding through an equity investment. The proceeds are being utilized to ramp research and development costs for the next phase of product development. In the comparable period, clinical and research and development costs had been reduced as R2 was in-between development activities.

Broadcasting: Net loss was due to a reduction in losses recognized from our equity method investments, principally Inseego, as the Company did not recognize losses from our investment inBroadcasting segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as2019 increased $1.5 million to $6.2 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The decrease in this investment is zero. ThisAdjusted EBITDA loss was further decreasedprimarily driven by lower losses at 704Games as a result of athe reduction in distribution fees from 704Games' largest distributorcosts as the segment exited certain local markets which were unprofitable at Network, partially offset by higher expenses associated with the growth of the Broadcast stations subsequent to the comparable period as well as research and a decreasedevelopment costs associated with OTA technology in development fees for our console game driven by a one time fee incurred in 2016 which was not repeated in the current period.development.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $6.6 million to $23.9 million from $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The increasedecrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily attributable to reductions in bonus related compensation associated with the increase in NAV at the end of the period, from compensation related expenses associated with some senior management changes we announced during the quarter.expense and professional fees.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $31.1 million and $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to our Life Sciences segment as our early stage companies continue to develop their businesses and meet major milestones, offset by our Other segment driven by our equity investment in Inseego, as the Company did not recognize losses from our investment in the current period as our basis in this investment is zero.

Construction: Adjusted EBITDANet income from our Construction segment for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 decreased $2.7$2.1 million to $36.5$18.0 million from $39.2$20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was due in part to project delays associated with design changes on certain existing projects in backlog2018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Construction segment for the first nine months of 2017, as well as better-than bid performance onended September 30, 2019 increased $13.4 million to $54.9 million from $41.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher gross profit contribution from our structural steel fabrication and erection business attributable to strong commercial projects inproject execution and new gross profit contribution from the comparable period.GrayWolf acquisition. These increases were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expense, which is primarily attributable to the GrayWolf acquisition.

The increasedecrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increasesa decline in income from equity method income through our joint venture investmentinvestees, due in part to the timing of HMN largelyturnkey project work and a loss recorded at SBSS in the first quartercurrent period attributable to lower vessel utilization. These decreases in income were partially offset in part by increased GMSL gross profit contribution, attributable to both improved project profitability and a reduction in unutilized vessel costs, as well as from a reduction in overhead expenses and a reversal of 2017.a bad debt expense due to a favorable receivable settlement during the quarter.

Energy: Adjusted EBITDA incomeNet loss from our Energy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 increased $0.8 million to $2.5$1.4 million from $1.7$0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20162018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Energy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $0.1 million to $4.6 million from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The slight decrease was primarily driven by the AFETC revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2018 which was not present in the current period, decreases in income recognized from renewable energy tax credits related to the sale of RNG, and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses due to headcount-driven increases in salary and benefits as a result of the impactacquisition of sales from stations acquired and commissioned subsequent to the comparable period, offsetampCNG stations. Offsetting these decreases were increases in partgross profit driven by the utilization of tax creditsampCNG stations, which were acquired in June 2019, as well as increases in profit contribution across the remaining ANG stations due primarily to higher CNG sales volumes and reductions in bad debt expense associated with two station abandonments in the comparable periods, which expired on December 31, 2016 and were not renewed in 2017.period.

The increasedecrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to both a decline in revenue and the Company’s focus oncontracting of call termination margin as a result of the wholesale traffic termination mix that maximizes margin contribution.continued decline in the international long distance market, partially offset by a decrease in compensation expense due to headcount decreases and reductions in professional fees and bad debt expense.

Life Sciences: Net income from our Life Sciences segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $65.9 million to $1.6 million from $67.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was dueprimarily driven by comparably fewer expenses at the Pansend holding company, which incurred additional compensation expense related to a reductionthe performance of the segment in the prior period, and reductions in losses recognizedrelated to BeneVir, which was sold in the second quarter of 2018. Further, there were increases in losses at the MediBeacon equity investment, driven by timing of clinical trials and income from the licensing of select patents to third parties.

Adjusted Operating Income - Insurance

Adjusted Operating Income ("Insurance AOI") and Pre-tax Adjusted Operating Income (“Pre-tax Insurance AOI”) for the Insurance segment ("Insurance AOI") is aare non-U.S. GAAP financial measuremeasures frequently used throughout the insurance industry and is anare economic measuremeasures the Insurance segment uses to evaluate its financial performance. Management believes that Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI measures provide investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of certain results and providesprovide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. However, Insurance AOI hasand Pre-tax Insurance AOI have certain limitations, and we may not calculate it the same as other companies in our industry. It should, therefore, be read together with the Company's results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
Similarly to Adjusted EBITDA, using Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI as a performance measure hasmeasures have inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as thisthese non-U.S. GAAP measure excludesmeasures exclude certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI should not be considered in isolation and doesdo not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measuremeasures of our operating performance.


Management defines Insurance AOI as Net income (loss) for the Insurance segment adjusted to exclude the impact of net investment gains (losses), including OTTI losses recognized in operations; asset impairment; intercompany elimination; non-recurring items;bargain purchase gains, reinsurance gain; and acquisition costs. Management defines Pre-tax Insurance AOI as Insurance AOI adjusted to exclude the impact of income tax (benefit) expense recognized during the current period. Management believes that Insurance AOI provides aand Pre-tax Insurance AOI provide meaningful financial metricmetrics that helpshelp investors understand certain results and profitability. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of the Insurance segment, market conditions impacting these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the business. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes their impact is effective in analyzing the trends of our operations.


The table below shows the adjustments made to the reported Net income (loss) of the Insurance segment to calculate Insurance AOI and Pre-tax Insurance AOI (in thousands)millions). Refer to the analysis of the fluctuations within the results of operations section:

Three(1) The Insurance segment revenues are inclusive of realized and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared tounrealized gains and net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162019 and 2018. Such adjustments are related to transactions between entities under common control which are eliminated or are reclassified in consolidation.

OurNet income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $130.6 million to $10.5 million from $141.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $68.3 million to $74.6 million from $142.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Pre-tax Insurance AOI for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was2019 increased $24.8 million to income of $3.7$13.5 million, andas compared to a loss of $1.7$11.3 million respectively. Ourfor three months ended September 30, 2018. Pre-tax Insurance AOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was2019 increased $83.9 million to Pre-tax Insurance AOI income of $5.4$75.2 million, andas compared to a Pre-tax Insurance AOI loss of $9.0$8.7 million respectively.for nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increases wereincrease was primarily due todriven by the incremental net investment income and policy premiums from the KIC block acquisition and higher net investment income from the legacy CGI block driven by both the growth and a reduction in insurance benefits, due to reserves releasedmix of the investment portfolio, including premium reinvestment and rotation into higher yield assets. In addition, there was a decrease in SG&A expensespolicy benefits, changes in reserves, and commissions related to current period reserve adjustments driven by the terminationhigher mortality and policy terminations, an increase in contingent non-forfeiture option activity as a result of the Transition Services Agreementin-force rate actions approved and implemented, and favorable developments in early 2017. The increaseclaims activity. This was partially offset by an increase in tax expense dueselling, general and administrative expenses, primarily attributable to higher operating profits, as a result of reserve releases, and increased taxable investment gains inheadcount additions related to the year.KIC acquisition.

Backlog

Projects in backlog consist of awarded contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed, change orders, and purchase orders obtained. Backlog increases as contract commitments are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts. Backlog is converted to sales in future periods as work is performed or projects are completed. Backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt or loss of individual contracts.

Construction Segment

At September 30, 2019, DBMG's backlog was $475.3 million, consisting of $354.0 million under contracts or purchase orders and $121.3 million under letters of intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $147.6 million, representing 31.0% of DBMG’s backlog at September 30, 2019, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these projects terminate or reduce their scope, DBMG’s backlog could decrease substantially.

Marine Services Segment

At September 30, 2019, GMSL's backlog stood at $398.7 million, inclusive of $311.9 million of signed contracts and customer-approved change orders and $86.8 million of letters of intent and on-site repair estimates associated with its long-term maintenance contracts. Approximately $295.6 million, representing 74.1% of GMSL's backlog at September 30, 2019, was attributable to three multi-year telecom maintenance contracts which will naturally burn through to revenue as the contracts run off. GMSL's reported backlog may not be converted to revenue in any particular period and actual revenue may not equal its backlog. Therefore, GMSL's backlog may not be indicative of the level of its future revenues.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

HC2 is a holding company and its liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on its 11.0%Senior Secured Notes, Convertible Notes, and its Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below), dividend payments on its Preferred Stock. HC2 also has liquidity needs related toStock and recurring operational expenses. 

As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had $130.8$276.9 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $115.4$325.0 million as of December 31, 2016.2018. On a stand-alone basis, as of September 30, 2017,2019, HC2 had cash and cash equivalents of $48.5$7.7 million compared to $21.7$6.5 million at December 31, 2016.2018. At September 30, 2017,2019, cash and cash equivalents in our Insurance segment was $30.0$196.6 million compared to $24.5$283.3 million at December 31, 2016.2018.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of steel construction equipment and subsea cable equipment, fueling stations, network equipment (such as switches, related transmission equipment and capacity), and service infrastructure, liabilities associated with insurance products, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.
    
As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had $503.8$851.0 million of indebtedness on a consolidated basis compared to $438.4$781.0 million as of December 31, 2016.2018. On a stand-alone basis, as of September 30, 2017,2019 and December 31, 2018, HC2 had $400.0indebtedness of $540.0 million of indebtedness compared to $307.0and $525.0 million, as of December 31, 2016.respectively.

All of HC2's stand-alone debt consists of the 11.0% Notes.$470.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.5% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "Senior Secured Notes"), the $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "Convertible Notes"), and the 6.75% plus LIBOR $15.0 million secured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Agreement"), fully drawn. HC2 is required to make semi-annual interest payments on its outstanding 11.0%Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes, and quarterly interest payments on June 1its Revolving Credit Agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, HC2 received $2.0$13.5 million in dividends from our Telecommunications segment.

Duringits Construction segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 2019.

HC2 received $13.5 million and $6.0$4.3 million in dividends from our Construction andits Telecommunications segments, respectively.

Under a tax sharing agreement, DBMG reimburses HC2 for use of its Net Operating Losses. Duringsegment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, HC2 received $5.0 million from DBMG under this tax sharing agreement.2019, respectively.

As announced on November 1, 2017, DBMG will pay a cash dividendHC2 received $2.6 million and $7.4 million in net management fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to fees earned in the fourth quarter of $1.29 per share on November 29, 2017 to stockholders2018 and first half of record at the close of business on November 15, 2017. HC2 is expected to received $4.5 million of the $5.0 million dividend payout.2019.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries. In the future, weWe may also choose to sell assets or certain investments to generate cash.

At this time, we believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as debt servicesservice and operating leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months through a combination of distributions from our subsidiaries and from raising of additional debt or equity, refinancing of certain of our indebtedness or Preferred Stock,preferred stock, other financing arrangements and/or the sale of assets and certain investments. Historically, we have chosen to reinvest cash and receivables into the growth of

our various businesses, and therefore have not kept a large amount of cash on hand at the holding company level, a practice which we expect to continue in the future. The ability of HC2’s subsidiaries to make distributions to HC2 is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, regulatory requirements, availability of sufficient funds at each subsidiary and the approval of such payment by each subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors each subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. Our ability to sell assets and certain of our investments to meet our existing financing needs may also be limited by our existing financing instruments. Although the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional equity capital, refinance indebtedness or Preferred Stock,preferred stock, enter into other financing arrangements or engage in asset sales and sales of certain investments sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company if at all. Such financing options, if pursued, may also ultimately have the effect of negatively impacting our liquidity profile and prospects over the long-term. In addition, the sale of assets or the Company’s investments may also make the Company less attractive to potential investors or future financing partners.

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The 11.0% Notes IndentureCompany is also includes tworequired to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants:covenants, which are similarly subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include maintenance of (1) a liquidity covenant;liquidity; (2) collateral coverage; (3) secured net leverage ratio; and (2) a collateral(4) fixed charge coverage covenant. ratio.

The maintenance of liquidity covenant provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of (i) all unrestricted cash and cash equivalentsCash Equivalents of the Company and the subsidiary guarantorsSubsidiary Guarantors, (ii) amounts available for drawing under revolving credit facilities and undrawn letters of credit of the 11.0% Notes (the "Guarantors")Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) dividends, distributions or payments that are immediately available to be paid to the Company by any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be less than the Company’s obligationsobligation to pay interest on the 11.0%Senior Secured Notes and all other debtDebt, including Convertible Preferred Stock mandatory cash dividends or any other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock but excluding any obligation to pay interest on Convertible Preferred Stock or any other mandatory cash pay Preferred Stock which, in each case, may be paid by accretion or in-kind in accordance with its terms of the Company and theits Subsidiary Guarantors plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s Preferred Stock, for the next (i) six months if our collateral coverage ratio is greater than 2.0x or (ii) 12 months if our collateral coverage ratio is less than 2.0x.months. As of September 30, 2017, our collateral coverage ratio was greater than 2.0x and therefore the liquidity covenant requires the Company to maintain 6 months of debt service and preferred dividend obligations. If the collateral coverage ratio subsequently becomes lower than 2:1 in the future, the maintenance of liquidity requirement under the 11.0% Notes will be increased back to 12 months of debt service and preferred dividend obligations. As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The maintenance of collateral coverage covenant provides that the Company’scertain subsidiaries' Collateral Coverage Ratio (defined(as defined in the 11.0% NotesSecured Indenture as the ratio of (i) the Loan Collateral to (ii) Consolidated Secured Debt (each as defined therein)) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter may not be less than 1.25:1.1.50 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

The maintenance of secured net leverage ratio provides that the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture) as of any date of determination calculated on a pro forma basis after accounting for the net proceeds from any Asset Sale which the Company has determined to apply to the repayment of any Debt to exceed 7.75 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with this covenant. 

The maintenance of fixed charge coverage ratio provides that commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, that the Company will not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured Indenture) calculated as of the last day of each fiscal year of the Company to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 or that the Company’s “HC2 Corporate Overhead” (as defined in the Secured Indenture) in any fiscal year not exceed the sum of $29.0 million for such fiscal year.

The instruments governing the Company’s Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional Preferred Stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments.  These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will result in continued compliance with the Secured Indenture; however, compliance with certain financial covenants for future quarters may depend on the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as the management of operating cash outflows, a monetization of assets, a debt incurrence or refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or similar transactions. If the Company is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements, an event of default would occur under the Company’s Secured Indenture which, among other remedies, could result in the outstanding obligations under the indenture becoming immediately due and payable and permitting the exercise of remedies with respect to the collateral. There is no assurance the Company will be able to complete any non-operational transaction it may undertake to maintain compliance with covenants under the Secured Indenture or, even if the Company completes any such transaction, that it will be able to maintain compliance for any subsequent period

Construction

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund DBMG’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. DBMG's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. DBMG attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, DBMG generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. DBMG relies on its credit facilities to meet its working capital needs. DBMG believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

DBMG is required to make monthly or quarterly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the September 30, 20172019 debt balance, DBMG anticipates that its interest payments will be approximately $0.2$1.7 million each quarter.



DBMG believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures and its working capital needs. However, DBMG may expand its operations through future acquisitions and may require additional equity or debt financing.

Marine Services

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities are the principal source of cash used to fund GMSL’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. GMSL's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. GMSL attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, GMSL generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. GMSL believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

GMSL is required to make monthly and quarterly interest and principal payments depending on the structure of each individual debt agreement.

Market Environment

GMSL earns revenues in a variety of currencies including the U.S. dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Euro, and the British pound. The exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Euro, and the British pound have fluctuated in recent periods and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Any material appreciation or depreciation of these currencies against each other may have a negative impact on GMSL's results of operations and financial condition.

Insurance

Cash flows

CIG’s principal cash inflows from its operating activities relate to its premiums, annuity deposits and insurance, investment product fees and other income. CIG’s principal cash inflows from its invested assets result from investment income and the maturity and sales of invested assets. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash inflows relates to the risk of default by debtors and interest rate volatility. Additional sources of liquidity to meet unexpected cash outflows in excess of operating cash inflows and current cash and equivalents on hand include selling short-term investments or fixed maturity securities.

CIG's principal cash outflows relate to the payment of claims liabilities, interest credited and operating expenses. CIG’s management believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Market environment

As of September 30, 2017,2019, CIG was in a position to hold any investment security showing an unrealized loss until recovery, provided it remains comfortable with the credit of the issuer. CIG does not rely on short-term funding or commercial paper and to date it has experienced no liquidity pressure, nor does it anticipate such pressure in the foreseeable future. CIG projects its reserves to be sufficient and believes its current capital base is adequate to support its business.



Dividend Limitations

CIG's insurance subsidiary is subject to Texas statutory provisions that restrict the payment of dividends. The dividend limitations on CIG are based on statutory financial results and regulatory approval. Statutory accounting practices differ in certain respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Significant differences include the treatment of deferred income taxes, required investment reserves, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes.

The ability of CIG’s insurance subsidiary to pay dividends and to make such other payments is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the statesstate in which its subsidiary is domiciled, which subject its subsidiary to significant regulatory restrictions. These laws and regulations require, among other things, CIG’s insurance subsidiary to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends this subsidiary can pay. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength in the form of its subsidiary Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") ratio. CIG monitors its insurance subsidiary's compliance with the RBC requirements specified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. As of December 31, 2016,2018, CIG’s insurance subsidiary exceedsexceeded the minimum RBC requirements. CIG’s insurance subsidiary paid no dividends to CIG in fiscal year 2016 and has further agreed with its state regulator to not pay dividends for three years following the completion of the acquisition on December 24, 2015.



OtherInsurance Companies Capital Contributions

The Company has an agreement with the Texas Department of Insurance ("TDOI"(“TDOI”) that, for fivetwo years following the acquisition, the Companyfrom August 9, 2018, CIG will contribute to Continental General Insurance Company ("CGI"(“CGI” or the "Insurance Company"“Insurance Company”) cash or marketable securities acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 450% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital and for three years from August 9, 2020, CIG will contribute to CGI cash or marketable securities acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Texas law and reported in CGI’s statutory statements filed with the TDOI).

Additionally, CGI entered into a capital maintenance agreement with Great American Financial Resources, Inc. ("Great American").American. Under the agreement, if the applicable acquired company’s total adjusted capital reported in its annual statutory financial statements is less than 400% of its authorized control level risk-based capital, Great American has agreed to pay cash or assets to the applicable acquired company as required to eliminate such shortfall (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by the Company or its affiliates since the date of the relevant annual statutory financial statement). Great American’s obligation to make such payments is capped at $35.0 million under the capital maintenance agreement. The capital maintenance agreementagreements will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 or until payments by Great American under the applicable agreement equal the applicable cap. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Great American for the amount of any payments made by Great American under the capital maintenance agreement.agreements.

Asset Liability Management

CIG’s insurance subsidiary maintains investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as long-term care insurance, are matched with investments such as long-term fixed maturity securities. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. The types of assets in which CIG may invest are influenced by state laws, which prescribe qualified investment assets applicable to insurance companies. Within the parameters of these laws, CIG invests in assets giving consideration toconsidering four primary investment objectives: (i) maintain robust absolute returns; (ii) provide reliable yield and investment income; (iii) preserve capital and (iv) provide liquidity to meet policyholder and other corporate obligations. The Insurance segment’s investment portfolio is designed to contribute stable earnings and balance risk across diverse asset classes and is primarily invested in high quality fixed income securities. In addition, at any given time, CIG’s insurance subsidiary could hold cash, highly liquid, high-quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals.

Credit Quality

Insurance statutes regulate the type of investments that CIG is permitted to make and limit the amount of funds that may be used for any one type of investment. In light of these statutes and regulations, and CIG's business and investment strategy, CIG generally seeks to invest in (i) securities rated investment grade by established nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (each, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO")), (ii) U.S. Government and government-sponsored agency securities, or (iii) securities of comparable investment quality, if not rated.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency fluctuations can impact our financial results. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately 11.7% and 34.1% respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately 11.6% and 30.4% respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. The reporting currency for our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is the United States dollar ("USD"). The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country.

In the future, we expect to continue to derive a portion of our net revenue and incur a portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the USD/British pound sterling ("GBP") exchange rate. Changes in the exchange rate of USD relative to the GBP could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because a majority of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. More profits in GBP are required to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. We are exposed to market risk with respect to our investments and foreign currency exchange rates. Through DBMG, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on its borrowings and from adverse changes in steel prices. Through GMSL and ANG, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on their respective borrowings. We do not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk from such exposures.

Equity Price Risk

HC2 is exposed to market risk primarily through changes in fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities. HC2 follows an investment strategy approved by the HC2 Board of Directors which sets certain restrictions on the amount of securities that HC2 may acquire and its overall investment strategy.

Market prices for fixed maturity and equity securities are subject to fluctuation, as a result, and consequently the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Because HC2’s fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that the decline reflects OTTI.OTTI, however with respect to Equity Securities, as of January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, would affect earnings due to a hypothetical decline.

A means of assessing exposure to changes in market prices is to estimate the potential changes in market values on the fixed maturity and equity securities resulting from a hypothetical decline in equity market prices. As of September 30, 2017,2019, assuming all other factors are constant, we estimate that a 10.0%, 20.0%, and 30.0% decline in equity market prices would have an $138.6 million, $277.1 million, and $415.7 million adversethe following impact on HC2’s portfolio of fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively.(in millions):
  Decline in equity market prices
  10% 20% 30%
Fixed Maturity Securities $397.5
 $795.1
 $1,192.6
Equity Securities $10.4
 $20.9
 $31.3

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into the United States dollar ("USD") using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. DBMG, GMSL and ICS are exposed to market risk from foreign entities' currency price changes that could have a significant and potentially adverse impact on gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries into USD.

We translate the local currency statements By way of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. For example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP,British pound sterling ("GBP"), there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. More profits in GBP are required to generate the same amount of profits in USD and similarly, a greater loss in GBP is required to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 11.8% and 14.9%, respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 10.5% and 12.1%, respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. The reporting currency for our Consolidated Financial Statements is the USD. The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country.



In the future, we expect to continue to derive a portion of our net revenue and incur a portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the USD/GBP exchange rate. Changes in the exchange rate of USD relative to the GBP could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because certain of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

Interest Rate Risk

GMSL, DBMG, and ANG areThe Company is exposed to the market risk from changes in interest rates through their borrowings, which bear variable rates based on LIBOR.LIBOR or selected alternate rates. Changes in LIBORto these rates could result in an increase or decrease in interest expense recorded. A 100, 200, and 300 basis point increase in LIBOR based on our floating rate borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 20172019 of $25.3$170.8 million, would result in an increase in the recorded interest expense of $0.3$1.7 million, $0.5$3.4 million, and $0.8$5.1 million per year.year, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk

DBMG is exposed to the market risk from changes in the price of steel. For large orders the risk is mitigated by locking the general contractors into the price at the mill at the time work is awarded. In the event of a subsequent price increase by the mill, DBMG has the ability to pass the higher costs on to the general contractor. DBMG does not hedge or enter into any forward purchasing arrangements with the mills. The price negotiated at the time of the order is the price paid by DBMG.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time


periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017,2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company records a liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 14.15. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.     

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than disclosednoted below, there have been no additional material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017,12, 2019.

UtilitiesRisks related to our Broadcasting segment

Broadcasting Licenses are issued by, and subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). The adoption, modificationCommunications Act empowers the FCC, among other actions, to issue, renew, revoke and modify broadcasting licenses; determine stations’ frequencies, locations and operating power; regulate some of the equipment used by stations; adopt other regulations to carry out the provisions of the Communications Act and other laws, including requirements affecting the content of broadcasts; and to impose penalties for violation of its regulations, including monetary forfeitures, short-term renewal of licenses and license revocation or repeal in environmental, tax, governmentdenial of license renewals.

License Renewals. Broadcast television licenses are typically granted for standard terms of eight years. Most licenses for commercial and noncommercial TV broadcast stations, Class A TV broadcast stations, television translators and Low Power Television ("LPTV") broadcast stations are scheduled to expire between 2020 and 2022; however, the Communications Act requires the FCC to renew a broadcast license if the FCC finds that the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity and, with respect to the station, there have been no serious violations by the licensee of either the Communications Act or the FCC’s rules and regulations and there have been no other programs and incentives that encourageviolations by the uselicensee of clean fuel and alternative vehicles, may impact our business.

Programsthe Communications Act or the FCC’s rules and regulations that, taken together, constitute a pattern of abuse. The Company has no pending renewal applications. A station remains authorized to operate while its license renewal application is pending.

License Assignments. The Communications Act requires prior FCC approval for the assignment or transfer of control of an FCC licensee. Third parties may oppose the Company’s applications to assign, transfer or acquire broadcast licenses.

Full Power and Class A Station Regulations. The Communications Act and FCC rules and regulations limit the ability of individuals and entities to have certain official positions or ownership interests, known as "attributable" interests, above specific levels in full power broadcast stations as well as in other specified mass media entities. Many of these limits do not apply to Class A stations, television translators and LPTV authorizations. In seeking FCC approval for the effectacquisition of encouraginga broadcast television station license, the useacquiring person or entity must demonstrate that the acquisition complies with applicable FCC ownership rules or that a waiver of CNG asthe rules is in the public interest. Additionally, while the Communications Act and FCC regulations have been modified to no longer strictly prohibit ownership of a vehicle fuelbroadcast station license by any corporation with more than 25 percent of its stock owned or voted by non-U.S. persons, their representatives or any other corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country, foreign ownership above such threshold is determined by the FCC on a case-by-case basis, which analysis is subject to the specific circumstances of each such request. The FCC has also adopted regulations concerning children’s television programming, commercial limits, local issues and programming, political files, sponsorship identification, equal employment opportunity requirements and other requirements for full power and Class A broadcast television stations. The FCC’s rules require operational full-power and Class A stations to file quarterly reports demonstrating compliance with these regulations.

Low Power Television and TV Translator Authorizations.  LPTV stations and TV Translators have "secondary spectrum priority" to full-service television stations. The secondary status of these authorizations prohibits LPTV and TV Translator stations from causing interference to the reception of existing or future full-service television stations and requires them to accept interference from existing or future full-service television stations and other primary licensees.  LPTV and TV Translator licensees are subject to change,fewer regulatory obligations than full-power and could expireClass A licensees, and there no limit on the number of LPTV stations that may be owned by any one entity.

The 600 MHz Incentive Auction and the Post-Auction Relocation Process. The FCC concluded a two-sided auction process for 600 MHz band spectrum (the "600 MHz Incentive Auction") on April 13, 2017. The auction process allowed eligible full-power and Class A broadcast television licensees to sell some or all of their spectrum usage rights in exchange for compensation; the FCC would pay reasonable expenses for the remaining, non-participating full-power and Class A stations to relocate to the remaining "in-core" portion of the 600 MHz band. Several of our


stations will relocate to new channel assignments and will receive funding from the 600 MHz Band Broadcaster Relocation Fund. LPTV and TV translator stations will eventually be repealedrequired to relocate from the "out-of-core" portion of the 600 MHz band (i.e., channels 38-51) and are required under the rules to mitigate interference to any relocated full-power or amendedClass A station in the in-core band (or cease operations). The FCC has created a priority filing window for LPTV and TV translator stations licensed and operating as of April 13, 2017, and some of our LPTV and TV translator stations have found new channel assignments as a result of changes in federal, state or local political, social or economic conditions. For example, the resultsthis special displacement window.  But some LPTV and TV translator stations displaced as a result of the recent U.S. presidential election600 MHz Incentive Auction were not qualified for an alternate channel assignment. The FCC opened a second displacement application filing window in April of 2019 for LPTV and TV translator stations that still lacked channel assignments. All of our remaining LPTV and TV translator stations have created increased uncertainty regardingfound new channel assignments as a result of this window.

License Expirations. The Communications Act prohibits any licensed television station to remain silent for more than one year. We have purchased numerous stations whose on-air deadlines will occur in 2019. Building these stations before those deadlines is extremely challenging, especially in the futurepost-auction relocation environment, which is creating scarcity of industry equipment and labor. The FCC may extend these programsdeadlines for reasons beyond the control of a station licensee, and regulations. In particular,has granted such extensions for reasons of equipment delivery delays or installation labor shortages due to the Volumetric Excise Tax Credit (the "VETC"), which expired on December 31, 2016 and maypost-auction repack. However, it remains possible that we will not be availableable to build all of our silent stations by their on-air deadlines, in any subsequent period, provided a tax credit worth $0.50 per gasoline gallon equivalent of compressed natural gas, or diesel gallon equivalent of liquefied natural gas, which our subsidiary ANG claimed for a portion of its fuel sales each year.  The VETC tax credit had been used as an incentive for fleet operators to adopt natural gas vehicles, as it helped offset the incremental cost of a natural gas vehicle versus a similar gas- or diesel-powered version. The termination, modification or repeal of federal, state and local government tax credits, rebates, grants and similar programs and incentives that promote the use of CNG as a vehicle fuel and various government programs that make available grant funds for the purchase and construction of natural gas vehicles and stations may have an adverse impact on our business.case those licenses will expire.

DemandObscenity and Indecency Regulations. Federal law and FCC regulations prohibit the broadcast of obscene material on television at any time and the broadcast of indecent material between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time. The FCC investigates complaints of broadcasts of prohibited obscene or indecent material and can assess fines of up to $350,000 per incident for natural gas vehicles may decline with advances in other alternative technologies and fuels, or with improvements in gasoline, diesel or hybrid engines.
The market for CNG vehicles may diminish with technological advances in gasoline, diesel or other alternative fuels that may be considered more cost-effective or otherwise more advantageous than CNG. Operators may perceive an inability to timely recover the additional costs of natural gas vehicles if CNG fuel is not offered at a lower price than gasoline and diesel. In addition, the adoption of CNG as a fuel for vehicle may be slowed or limited if the low prices and over-supply of gasoline and diesel continue or deteriorate further or if natural gas prices increases without corresponding increases in prices of gasoline and diesel. Advances or improvements in fuel efficiency also may offer more economical choice and deter consumers to convert their vehicles to natural gas. Growth in the use of electric commercial vehicles likewise may reduce demand for natural gas vehicles and renewable diesel, hydrogen and other alternative fuels may prove to be more economical alternatives to gasoline and diesel than natural gas, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

If there are advances in other alternative vehicle fuels or technologies, or if there are improvements in gasoline, diesel or hybrid engines, demand for natural gas vehicles may decline.
Technological advances in the production, delivery and use of gasoline, diesel or other alternative fuels that are, or are perceived to be, cleaner, more cost-effective, more readily available or otherwise more attractive than CNG, may slow or limit adoption of natural gas vehicles. For example, advances in gasoline and diesel engine technology, including efficiency improvements and further development of hybrid engines, may offer a cleaner, more cost-effective option and make fleet customers less likely to convert their vehicles to natural gas. Additionally, technological advances related to ethanol or biodiesel, which are used as an additive to, or substitute for gasoline and diesel fuel, may slow the need to diversify fuels and affect the growthviolation of the natural gas vehicle fuel market.
Further, use of electric commercial vehicles,prohibition against obscene or the perception that such vehiclesindecent broadcasts and up to $3,300,000 for any continuing violation based on any single act or failure to act. The FCC may soon be widely available and provide satisfactory performance at an acceptable cost, may reduce demand for natural gas vehicles. In addition, renewable diesel, hydrogen and other alternative fuels may provealso revoke or refuse to be cleaner, more cost-effective alternatives to gasoline and diesel than natural gas. Advances in technology that reduce demand for natural gas asrenew a vehicle fuel or the failure of natural gas vehicle technology to advance at an equal pace could slow or curtail the growth of natural gas vehicle purchases or conversions, which would have an adverse effectbroadcast station license based on our business.


Increases, decreases and general volatility in oil, gasoline, diesel and natural gas prices could adversely affect our business.
In recent years, the prices of oil, gasoline, diesel and natural gas have been volatile, and this volatility may continue. Additionally, prices for crude oil in recent years have been low, due in part to over-production and increased supply without a corresponding increase in demand. Market adoption of CNG (which can be delivered in the form of CNG) as vehicle fuels could be slowed or limited if the low prices and over-supply of gasoline and diesel, today’s most prevalent and conventional vehicle fuels, continue or worsen, or if the price of natural gas increases without equal and corresponding increases in prices of gasoline and diesel. Any of these circumstances could decrease the market's perception of a need for alternative vehicle fuels generally and could cause the success or perceived success of our industry and our business to materially suffer. In addition, low gasoline and diesel prices contribute to the differential between the cost of natural gas vehicles and gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. Generally, natural gas vehicles cost more initially than gasoline or diesel powered vehicles, as the components needed for a vehicle to use natural gas add to the vehicle’s base cost. Operators seek to recover the additional costs of acquiring or converting to natural gas vehicles over time through the lower costs of fueling natural gas vehicles; however, operators may perceive an inability to timely recover these additional costs if we do not offer CNG fuel at prices lower than gasoline and diesel. Our ability to offer our customers an attractive pricing advantage for CNG and maintain an acceptable margin on our sales becomes more difficult if prices of gasoline and diesel decrease or if prices of natural gas increase. These pricing conditions exacerbate the cost differential between natural gas vehicles and gasoline or diesel powered vehicles, which may lead operators to delay or refrain from purchasing or converting to natural gas vehicles at all. Any of these outcomes would decrease our potential customer base and harm our business prospects. Further, fluctuations in natural gas prices affect the cost to usserious violation of the natural gas commodity. High natural gas prices adversely impact our operating margins in cases where we cannot pass the increased costs through to our customers. Conversely, lower natural gas prices reduce our revenue in cases where the commodity cost is passed through to our customers. As a result, these fluctuations in natural gas prices can have a significantagency’s obscenity and adverse impact on our operating results.
Factors that can cause fluctuations in gasoline, diesel and natural gas prices include, among others, changes in supply and availability of crude oil and natural gas, government regulations and political conditions, inventory levels, consumer demand, price and availability of other alternative fuels, weather conditions, negative publicity surrounding drilling, production or importing techniques and methods for oil or natural gas, economic conditions and the price of foreign imports.
With respect to natural gas supply and use as a vehicle fuel, there have been recent efforts to place new regulatory requirements on the production of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing of shale gas reservoirs and other means and on transporting, dispensing and using natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques have resulted in a substantial increase in the proven natural gas reserves in the United States. Any changes in regulations that make it more expensive or unprofitable to produce natural gas through these techniques or others, as well as any changes to the regulations relating to transporting, dispensing or using natural gas, could lead to increased natural gas prices.
If pricing conditions worsen, or if all or some combination of factors causing further volatility in natural gas, oil and diesel prices were to occur, our business and our industry would be materially harmed.indecency rules.
