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,March 31, 2020, the results of DBMG, GMSL,GMH, 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 statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2019.16, 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.2020.


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.


COVID-19

There are many uncertainties regarding the current coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year


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 andStatements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements issued since the filing of its 2019 Form 10-K that have been issued that mightwill have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted the accounting pronouncements described below.

Accounting for Leases

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, 20192020


Credit Loss Standard


ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 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 itsit's recoverable from reinsurers, accounts receivable, and mortgage loans. The FASB has voted to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to January 1, 2023 for smaller reporting companies with a revised ASU 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 be performed in 2022. 

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 plans to use the modified retrospective method which will include a cumulative effect adjustment on the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. However, prospective application is required for purchased credit deteriorated assets previously accounted for under ASU 310-39 for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") was recognized prior to the date of adoption. The Company does not currently expect to early adopt this standard and is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.Condensed 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 allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net carrying value that reflects the amount 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 the securities and is anticipated to increase volatility in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allowance methodology recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through the sale of the security. Therefore, the amount of the allowance for credit losses will be limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available for sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value.


The Company's Condensed 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.


Disclosures will be required to include information around how the credit loss allowance was developed, further details on information currently disclosed about credit quality of financing receivables and net investments in leases, and a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for available for sale fixed maturity securities as well as an aging analysis for securities that are past due.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
The Company anticipates a significant impact on itsthe systems, processes and controls. While the requirements of the new guidance 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 effective date of ASU 2016-13 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 Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed 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 itsit's 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 consolidated financial statements.Condensed 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.



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

The rate used to discount the liability projections is to be based on an A-rated asset with observable market inputs and duration consistent with the duration of the liabilities. The discount rate is to be updated quarterly with the impact of the change 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 policy 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations while the requirement to update the discount rate will increase volatility in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. The Company anticipates a significant 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 effective date of ASU 2018-12 to January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies with a revised ASU expected in the fourth quarter of 2019. Currently, the Company plans 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. The Company may choose one of two adoption methods for the liability for future policy benefits: (i) a modified retrospective transition method whereby the entity will apply the amendments to contracts inforce as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or (ii) a full retrospective transition method. 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 each contract grouping identified that may be quickly updated to reflect current inforce listing and 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 tracking of actual experience for enhanced reporting requirements; (vi) establishing new VOBA amortization that will align with new guidance for DAC amortization; and (vii) developing, testing, and implementing controls for newly developed procedures, as well as for additional annual reporting requirements.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance removes the following exceptions from ASC 740, Income Taxes: (i) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (ii) exception for the recognition of a deferred tax liability when an equity method investment becomes a foreign subsidiary or a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, and (iii) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when year-to-date losses exceed expected losses for the year. ASU 2019-12 also provides guidance to increase simplicity of Topic 740. This standard is effective January 1, 2021 for public business entities. Certain amendments should be applied retrospectively with cumulative-effect adjustments made to retained earnings, while other amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the implementation date and the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

Subsequent Events


ASC 855, Subsequent Events requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date as of which the financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. See Note 22. Subsequent Events for the summary of the subsequent events.

On June 14, 2019, ANG acquired ampCNG's 20 natural gas fueling stations, located primarily in the Southeastern U.S. and Texas, for cash considerationICS's revenues are predominantly derived from wholesale 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 preferred 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.

Insurance Segment

On August 9, 2018, CGI completed the acquisition all of the outstanding shares of KMG America Corporation (“KMG”), the parent company of Kanawha Insurance Company (“KIC”), Humana Inc.’s ("Humana") long-term care insurance subsidiary for cash consideration of ten thousand dollars.

The decision to acquire was made as part of CGI’s core strategy to acquire additional accretive LTC run-off businesses.

Gain on bargain purchase

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, corresponding deferred tax position and, ultimately, recognition of the bargain purchase gain, largely driven by the following attributes:

The Unified Loss Rules tax attribute reduction to tax value of assets and the seller tax adjustments to tax value of liabilities contribute significantly to the bargain purchase price. 

The reduction in the 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.

Changes in fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities between the date the deal was signed and the closing date was driven by the time it took to obtain regulatory approvals, amongst other closing conditions.

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 grossed 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 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 a 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 the 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 received an additional cash payment of $13.3 million on September 16, 2019, which was previously held in an escrow, for a total consideration of $106.7 million. Pansend recorded a gain on the sale of $102.1 million, of which $21.7 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests. HC2 received a cash payment of $72.8 million and an additional cash payment of $9.8 million from the release 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.

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 mortgage-backed securities ("MBS")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, 2019.March 31, 2020. 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 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. 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 out of Level 3 of $41.6$119.5 million primarily related to corporate securities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. The Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer intoout of Level 3 of $31.2$104.9 million primarily related to corporate securities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.


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.


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.


Level 3 Measurements and Transfers


The following tables summarize changes to the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 (in millions):

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.


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.

Based on the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the Broadcasting reporting unit and the related indefinite-lived intangible assets continue to exceed their carrying values and were not impaired as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020.

Determining the fair value of the Broadcasting reporting unit and Decemberindefinite-lived intangible assets requires significant judgment and estimates by management, utilizing the income-approach, which utilizes several key inputs, including future cash flows consistent with management’s strategic plans, sales growth rates and a discount rate, amongst others. Estimating sales growth rates requires significant judgment by management in areas such as future economic conditions, growth rates, pricing, and consumer tastes and preferences. Given the inherent uncertainties in estimating the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global macroeconomic conditions and interest rates in general and on the Broadcasting business, actual results may differ from management’s current estimates and could have an adverse impact on one or more of the assumptions used in our quantitative models related to the Broadcasting reporting unit, resulting in potential impairment charges in subsequent periods.

14.15. Income Taxes


Income Tax Expense


The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its 20192020 interim tax provision.
Income tax was a benefit of $12.6 million and an expense of $1.0 million and a benefit of $9.2$4.0 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three 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.


The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2020 primarily relates to a one-time, discrete tax benefit from the carryback of net operating losses at the Insurance segment’s acquisitionsegment as a result of Humana’s long term care business, KIC.the enactment of the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. The combined insurance entity projected aCARES Act was enacted during the first quarter of 2020 and includes several provisions which were applicable to the Company, including the ability to carryback Federal net operating losses generated in tax years beginning in 2018-2020, the removal of the 80% taxable income limitation for net operating loss deductions for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, and a temporary increase in the interest limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. We have included the impact of these provisions in our overall tax benefit 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 ninethree 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.March 31, 2020. 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 expense recorded for September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying 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, KIC. The combined insurance entity projected a net operating loss for the year due to deductions for the actuarial reserve strengthening. No additional income taxentities and because no benefit for the combined insurance entity was recorded as it was in a cumulative loss position and 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 wasis recognized on the losses of the HC2 U.S. tax consolidated group and the losses of their subsidiaries as valuation allowances are recorded on the deferred tax assets of these companies.

As a result of the enactment of Public Law 115-97, known informally as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on December 22, 2017, we are subject to several provisions of the TCJA including computations under the interest limitation rules. We have included the impact of each of these provisions in our overall tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.


Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 20182019 remain open for examination.

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.


Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is
believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously.

CGI Producer Litigation

On November 28, 2016, 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, GAFRI answered CGI’s complaint, denying the allegations. Meanwhile, the parties’ continued settlement negotiations resulted in a settlement agreement in the Delaware action. The settlement agreement, which requires CGI to contribute $250,000 to the settlement payment made by GAFRI in the class action, is contingent on the final approval of the class action settlement in the Ohio action.

DBMG Class Action


On November 6, 2014, a putative stockholder class action complaint challenging the tender offer by which HC2 acquired approximately 721,000 of the issued and outstanding common shares of DBMG was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., and Schuff International, Inc., Civil Action No. 10323 (the "Complaint"). On November 17, 2014, a second lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Arlen Diercks v. Schuff International, Inc. Philip A. Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., Civil Action No. 10359. On February 19, 2015, the court consolidated the actions (now designated as Schuff International, Inc. Stockholders Litigation) and appointed lead plaintiffs'plaintiff and 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 November 15, 2019, the parties filed definitive documentation in support of a proposed settlement of the action. On January 14, 2020, plaintiff filed an amended complaint restating and elaborating on the claims raised in the Complaint. The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory and rescissory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
On February 13, 2020, the Court held a settlement hearing to consider the proposed settlement and certain objections filed by two current DBMG stockholders. The Court expressed concerns about certain terms of the proposed settlement and the parties requested additional time to evaluate potential modifications to the proposed settlement. On May 8, 2020, the parties filed with the Court a revised settlement agreement for all claims relating to the Amended Complaint (the “Revised Settlement Framework”).

The parties have been exploring alternative frameworksRevised Settlement Framework provides for a potential settlement. Theresettlement payment of $35.95 per share to a fund for the benefit of the former DBMG stockholders who tendered their shares in the 2014 tender offer other than stockholders who were defendants in the action or their immediate family members, officers of DBMG, or directors or officers of HC2 (the “Tendered Stockholders”). The proposed settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders applies to approximately 568,550 shares and totals approximately $20.4 million. The Revised Settlement Framework provides that the amount received by the Tendered Stockholders will be reduced by the per share amount of any fee award to lead plaintiff’s counsel. HC2’s D&O insurers have agreed to contribute approximately $12.4 million of this approximately $20.4 million settlement payment, and DBMG has agreed to fund the remaining approximately $8.1 million either through cash on hand or borrowing from a third-party lender.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides that HC2 will fund two types of payments to the current owners of the 289,902 shares of DBMG common stock not owned by HC2 or its affiliates (the “public DBMG stockholders”). The first payment of $2.51 per share, or $0.7 million total, is intended to offset the indirect burden that the public DBMG stockholders arguably bear (by virtue of their approximately 7.52% ownership of DBMG) from DBMG’s funding of the approximately $8.1 million portion of the settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders. The second payment of $1.00 per share, or $289,902 total, represents consideration for a full release of claims from the public DBMG stockholders related to the action and the implementation of the Revised Settlement Framework. In sum, the Revised Settlement Framework provides that HC2 would fund payments of $3.51 per share, or $1.0 million total, to the public DBMG stockholders.

If approved, the Revised Settlement Framework would result in a global settlement of the action and the certification of a non-opt-out plaintiff class consisting of any and all record and beneficial owners of outstanding shares of DBMG common stock who held such stock at any time during May 12, 2014 through and including the close of business on May 8, 2020, and including, among others, their successors.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides for a release of claims by the plaintiff class in favor of a broad group of released defendant parties relating to, among other things, the action, the 2014 tender offer, all claims relating to HC2’s decision not to close a short-form merger shortly after the 2014 tender offer, and the implementation and funding of the Revised Settlement Framework.

Although the parties are seeking approval of Revised Settlement Framework, there can be no assurance that a settlement will be finalized or that the Delaware Courts wouldwill approve such athe revised or any other settlement even ifproposed by the parties enter into a settlement agreement.parties. If a settlement cannot be reached, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter.


Non-Operating Corporate

Stockholder Litigation

On April 10, 2020, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Tera v. HC2 Holdings Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2020-0275-JRS (the “Stockholder Litigation”). The complaint alleges that the Company’s consent revocation materials (i) contain misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation, (ii) fail to disclose that a majority of the Board may approve the nominees set forth by Percy Rockdale LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Percy Rockdale”), for purposes of the Certificates of Designation such that the Percy Rockdale nominees would be considered “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) and (iii) inaccurately state that electing the Percy Rockdale nominees will cause a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) under the Certificates of Designation because it will lead to a person or group obtaining the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board. The complaint seeks (i) a declaration requiring the Board to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees for purposes of the Certificates of Designation, (ii) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures and (iii) an injunction requiring the Board to issue additional disclosures relating to the Change of Control provisions in the Certificates of Designation. On April 19, 2020, the plaintiff amended his complaint to allege that the Supplement to the Consent Revocation Statement, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2020, contained misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation. The amended complaint seeks, among other remedies, (i) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures; (ii) a declaration that, if a Change of Control could be deemed to occur under the Certificates of Designation, that such Change of Control provisions are invalid and unenforceable under Delaware law; (iii) an injunction requiring the defendants to issue corrective disclosures; and (iv) an order enjoining the Board from relying upon consent revocations received to date. On April 20, 2020, the Court of Chancery granted the plaintiff’s motion for expedited proceedings.

On April 15, 2020, the Board (with Mr. Falcone recusing himself because he is not an Independent Director) determined to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees, solely and specifically for the purposes of deeming them Continuing Directors pursuant to the Certificates of Designation, to avoid triggering, and to render inapplicable, such prong of the Change of Control definition. On April 17, 2020 and April 21, 2020, each of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, and, in each case, entitled to give a waiver, agreed that such holder will not seek to exercise its right to require the Company to redeem the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable, if such redemption right were to arise as a result of the outcome of the Consent Solicitation based on one of the Change of Control prongs of the Certificate of Designation (which prong may require the Company to make an offer to redeem the Preferred Stock if any person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) obtains the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board). Therefore, in light of the foregoing, if the Percy Rockdale nominees become a majority of the Board pursuant to Percy Rockdale’s consent solicitation, the Company will not be required to offer to redeem the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. On April 23, 2020, the parties agreed that the waiver and

additional disclosures, combined with the prior disclosures and approval of Percy Rockdale’s nominees as Continuing Directors, mooted the need for expedition and a preliminary injunction hearing, and the parties informed the court that the plaintiff was withdrawing its request for expedition and a preliminary injunction. In exchange for the plaintiff agreeing to withdraw its request for preliminary injunction, the parties agreed to allow plaintiff to reserve the right to challenge the validity of the consent revocations received prior to the mooting actions in the event that Percy Rockdale loses the consent solicitation and the number of revocations received prior to the mooting actions were determinative of the outcome of the consent solicitation.

Under a revised deficit recovery plan agreed between GMSL and the trustees of GMSL's pension plan dated March 20, 2018, which was subsequently submitted to the UK government’s Pension Regulator, contributions of approximately $12.3 million deferred from 2016 and 2017 due in December 2017 were further deferred. To support this second deferral, the Company provided secured assets. These are the Q1400-1 trencher and the Q1400-2 trencher. Consistent with earlier recovery plans, the revised deficit recovery plan comprises three elements: fixed contributions, variable contributions (profit-related element) and variable contributions (dividend-related element), though the amounts and some definitions have been modified. The fixed contributions, payable in installments, comprise approximately $6.4 million in 2019, approximately $6.6 million in 2020, approximately $6.8 million in 2021 and approximately $3.0 million in 2022. The variable contributions (profit-related element) are calculated as 10% of GMSL's audited operating profit and paid two years in arrears in December each year from 2018. The variable contributions (dividend-related) equate to 50% of any future dividend paid by GMSL.

21. Basic and Diluted Income 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 as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.


The Company had no0 dilutive common share equivalents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020 due to the results of
operations being a loss from continuing operations and discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following potential weighted common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as the shares were antidilutive: 2,019,972 for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's stock and 4,787,602 for convertible preferred stock.


The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) used in basic and diluted EPS calculations (in millions, except per share amounts):

15. Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its 2020 interim tax provision. Income tax was a benefit of $12.6 million and an expense of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to a one-time, discrete tax benefit from the carryback of net operating losses at the Insurance segment as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act was enacted during the first quarter of 2020 and includes several provisions which were applicable to the Company, including the ability to carryback Federal net operating losses generated in tax years beginning in 2018-2020, the removal of the 80% taxable income limitation for net operating loss deductions for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, and a temporary increase in the interest limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. We arehave included the impact of these provisions in our overall tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020. 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 diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through eight 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 thatfull valuation allowance as we do not meetbelieve it is more-likely-than-not that the separately reportable segment thresholds.losses will be utilized prior to expiration.


We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities,The income tax expense recorded for March 31, 2019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities and because no benefit is recognized on the losses of the HC2 U.S. tax consolidated group and the losses of their subsidiaries as valuation allowances are recorded on the deferred tax assets of these companies.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as monitorregulatory taxes.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a varietyresult, the Company or one or more of key indicatorsits subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2019 remain open for examination.

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.

Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is
believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously.

VAT assessment

On February 20, 2017, and on August 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, ICS, received notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs office in the U.K. (the "HMRC") indicating that it was required to pay certain Value-Added Taxes ("VAT") for the 2015 and 2016 tax years.  ICS disagrees with HMRC’s assessments on technical and factual grounds and intends to dispute the assessed liabilities and vigorously defend its interests. We do not believe the assessment to be probable and expect to prevail based on the facts and merits of our underlying platform companies in order to maximize stakeholder value. These indicators include, but are not limited to, revenue, costexisting VAT position.

DBMG Class Action

Furthermore, we work very closely with our subsidiary platform executive management teams on their operations and assist themoutstanding common shares of DBMG was filed in the evaluationCourt of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v.

Falcone, Keith M. Hladek, Paul Voigt, Michael R. Hill, Rustin Roach, D. Ronald Yagoda, Phillip O. Elbert, HC2 Holdings, Inc., Civil Action No. 10359.

Stockholders Litigation) and any financing or operational needs atappointed lead plaintiff and counsel. The currently operative complaint is the subsidiary level. We believeComplaint filed by Mark Jacobs. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that this close relationship allows usin 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 capture synergies withinmembers of the organization across all platforms and strategically positionplaintiff 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 November 15, 2019, the parties filed definitive documentation in support of a proposed settlement of the action. On January 14, 2020, plaintiff filed an amended complaint restating and elaborating on the claims raised in the Complaint. The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory and rescissory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
On February 13, 2020, the Court held a settlement hearing to consider the proposed settlement and certain objections filed by two current DBMG stockholders. The Court expressed concerns about certain terms of the proposed settlement and the parties requested additional time to evaluate potential modifications to the proposed settlement. On May 8, 2020, the parties filed with the Court a revised settlement agreement for ongoing growth and value creation.all claims relating to the Amended Complaint (the “Revised Settlement Framework”).


The potentialRevised Settlement Framework provides for additional acquisitionsa settlement payment of $35.95 per share to a fund for the benefit of the former DBMG stockholders who tendered their shares in the 2014 tender offer other than stockholders who were defendants in the action or their immediate family members, officers of DBMG, or directors or officers of HC2 (the “Tendered Stockholders”). The proposed settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders applies to approximately 568,550 shares and new business opportunities, while strategic, maytotals approximately $20.4 million. The Revised Settlement Framework provides that the amount received by the Tendered Stockholders will be reduced by the per share amount of any fee award to lead plaintiff’s counsel. HC2’s D&O insurers have agreed to contribute approximately $12.4 million of this approximately $20.4 million settlement payment, and DBMG has agreed to fund the remaining approximately $8.1 million either through cash on hand or borrowing from a third-party lender.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides that HC2 will fund two types of payments to the current owners of the 289,902 shares of DBMG common stock not owned by HC2 or its affiliates (the “public DBMG stockholders”). The first payment of $2.51 per share, or $0.7 million total, is intended to offset the indirect burden that the public DBMG stockholders arguably bear (by virtue of their approximately 7.52% ownership of DBMG) from DBMG’s funding of the approximately $8.1 million portion of the settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders. The second payment of $1.00 per share, or $289,902 total, represents consideration for a full release of claims from the public DBMG stockholders related to the action and the implementation of the Revised Settlement Framework. In sum, the Revised Settlement Framework provides that HC2 would fund payments of $3.51 per share, or $1.0 million total, to the public DBMG stockholders.

If approved, the Revised Settlement Framework would result in acquiring assets unrelated to our current or historical operations. As parta global settlement of the action and the certification of a non-opt-out plaintiff class consisting of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capitaland all record and beneficial owners of outstanding shares of DBMG common stock who held such stock at any time during May 12, 2014 through and including the close of business on May 8, 2020, and including, among others, their successors.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides for a release of claims by the plaintiff class in favor of a broad group of released defendant parties relating to, among other things, the form of debt and/or equity securities (including preferred stock) oraction, the 2014 tender offer, all claims relating to HC2’s decision not to close a combination thereof. We have broad discretion and experience in identifying and selecting acquisition and business combination opportunitiesshort-form merger shortly after the 2014 tender offer, 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,implementation and funding of the Revised Settlement Framework.

Although the parties are seeking approval of Revised Settlement Framework, there can be no assurance that the Delaware Courts will approve the revised or any other settlement proposed by the parties. If a settlement cannot be reached, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Stockholder Litigation

On April 10, 2020, a purported stockholder of the pastCompany filed a class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Tera v. HC2 Holdings Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2020-0275-JRS (the “Stockholder Litigation”). The complaint alleges that the Company’s consent revocation materials (i) contain misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation, (ii) fail to disclose that a majority of the Board may approve the nominees set forth by Percy Rockdale LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Percy Rockdale”), for purposes of the Certificates of Designation such that the Percy Rockdale nominees would be considered “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) and (iii) inaccurately state that electing the Percy Rockdale nominees will cause a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) under the Certificates of Designation because it will lead to a person or future discussions wegroup obtaining the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board. The complaint seeks (i) a declaration requiring the Board to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees for purposes of the Certificates of Designation, (ii) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures and (iii) an injunction requiring the Board to issue additional disclosures relating to the Change of Control provisions in the Certificates of Designation. On April 19, 2020, the plaintiff amended his complaint to allege that the Supplement to the Consent Revocation Statement, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2020, contained misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation. The amended complaint seeks, among other remedies, (i) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures; (ii) a declaration that, if a Change of Control could be deemed to occur under the Certificates of Designation, that such Change of Control provisions are invalid and unenforceable under Delaware law; (iii) an injunction requiring the defendants to issue corrective disclosures; and (iv) an order enjoining the Board from relying upon consent revocations received to date. On April 20, 2020, the Court of Chancery granted the plaintiff’s motion for expedited proceedings.

On April 15, 2020, the Board (with Mr. Falcone recusing himself because he is not an Independent Director) determined to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees, solely and specifically for the purposes of deeming them Continuing Directors pursuant to the Certificates of Designation, to avoid triggering, and to render inapplicable, such prong of the Change of Control definition. On April 17, 2020 and April 21, 2020, each of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, and, in each case, entitled to give a waiver, agreed that such holder will not seek to exercise its right to require the Company to redeem the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable, if such redemption right were to arise as a result of the outcome of the Consent Solicitation based on one of the Change of Control prongs of the Certificate of Designation (which prong may require the Company to make an offer to redeem the Preferred Stock if any person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) obtains the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board). Therefore, in light of the foregoing, if the Percy Rockdale nominees become a majority of the Board pursuant to Percy Rockdale’s consent solicitation, the Company will not be required to offer to redeem the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. On April 23, 2020, the parties agreed that the waiver and

additional disclosures, combined with the prior disclosures and approval of Percy Rockdale’s nominees as Continuing Directors, mooted the need for expedition and a preliminary injunction hearing, and the parties informed the court that the plaintiff was withdrawing its request for expedition and a preliminary injunction. In exchange for the plaintiff agreeing to withdraw its request for preliminary injunction, the parties agreed to allow plaintiff to reserve the right to challenge the validity of the consent revocations received prior to the mooting actions in the event that Percy Rockdale loses the consent solicitation and the number of revocations received prior to the mooting actions were determinative of the outcome of the consent solicitation.

Net revenue within ourof operations and Balance Sheets of GMH and its subsidiaries as a separate segment. Formerly the 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,these entities and the additional costsinvestment in HMN have been reclassified to the Other segment. In addition, as GMSL is a discontinued operation as of March 31, 2020, all operating results of GMSL have been reclassified to Discontinued operations.

21. Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the first quarter,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 as most business is concentratedthis measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.

The Company had 0 dilutive common share equivalents during the northern hemisphere.three months ended March 31, 2020 due to the results being a loss from continuing operations and discontinued operations, net of tax.

15. Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") approach of ASC 740-270, Interim Reporting, to calculate its 2020 interim tax provision. Income tax was a benefit of $12.6 million and an expense of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to a one-time, discrete tax benefit from the carryback of net operating losses at the Insurance segment as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act was enacted during the first quarter of 2020 and includes several provisions which were applicable to the Company, including the ability to carryback Federal net operating losses generated in tax years beginning in 2018-2020, the removal of the 80% taxable income limitation for net operating loss deductions for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, and a temporary increase in the interest limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. We have included the impact of these provisions in our overall tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020. 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 expense recorded for March 31, 2019 relates to the projected expense as calculated under ASC 740 for taxpaying entities and because no benefit is recognized on the losses of the HC2 U.S. tax consolidated group and the losses of their subsidiaries as valuation allowances are recorded on the deferred tax assets of these companies.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2019 remain open for examination.

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.

Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with counsel in each of the matters disclosed, management has provided for what is
believed to be a reasonable estimate of loss exposure. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on its financial position and will defend itself vigorously.

VAT assessment

On February 20, 2017, and on August 15, 2017, the Company's subsidiary, ICS, received notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs office in the U.K. (the "HMRC") indicating that it was required to pay certain Value-Added Taxes ("VAT") for the 2015 and 2016 tax years.  ICS disagrees with HMRC’s assessments on technical and factual grounds and intends to dispute the assessed liabilities and vigorously defend its interests. We do not believe the assessment to be probable and expect to prevail based on the facts and merits of our existing VAT position.

DBMG Class Action

On November 6, 2014, a putative stockholder class action complaint challenging the tender offer by which HC2 acquired approximately 721,000 of the issued and outstanding common shares of DBMG was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Mark Jacobs v.

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 November 15, 2019, the parties filed definitive documentation in support of a proposed settlement of the action. On January 14, 2020, plaintiff filed an amended complaint restating and elaborating on the claims raised in the Complaint. The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory and rescissory damages, as well as attorney’s fees and other relief.

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
On February 13, 2020, the Court held a settlement hearing to consider the proposed settlement and certain objections filed by two current DBMG stockholders. The Court expressed concerns about certain terms of the proposed settlement and the parties requested additional time to evaluate potential modifications to the proposed settlement. On May 8, 2020, the parties filed with the Court a revised settlement agreement for all claims relating to the Amended Complaint (the “Revised Settlement Framework”).

The Revised Settlement Framework provides for a settlement payment of $35.95 per share to a fund for the benefit of the former DBMG stockholders who tendered their shares in the 2014 tender offer other than stockholders who were defendants in the action or their immediate family members, officers of DBMG, or directors or officers of HC2 (the “Tendered Stockholders”). The proposed settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders applies to approximately 568,550 shares and totals approximately $20.4 million. The Revised Settlement Framework provides that the amount received by the Tendered Stockholders will be reduced by the per share amount of any fee award to lead plaintiff’s counsel. HC2’s D&O insurers have agreed to contribute approximately $12.4 million of this approximately $20.4 million settlement payment, and DBMG has agreed to fund the remaining approximately $8.1 million either through cash on hand or borrowing from a third-party lender.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides that HC2 will fund two types of payments to the current owners of the 289,902 shares of DBMG common stock not owned by HC2 or its affiliates (the “public DBMG stockholders”). The first payment of $2.51 per share, or $0.7 million total, is intended to offset the indirect burden that the public DBMG stockholders arguably bear (by virtue of their approximately 7.52% ownership of DBMG) from DBMG’s funding of the approximately $8.1 million portion of the settlement payment to the Tendered Stockholders. The second payment of $1.00 per share, or $289,902 total, represents consideration for a full release of claims from the public DBMG stockholders related to the action and the implementation of the Revised Settlement Framework. In sum, the Revised Settlement Framework provides that HC2 would fund payments of $3.51 per share, or $1.0 million total, to the public DBMG stockholders.

If approved, the Revised Settlement Framework would result in a global settlement of the action and the certification of a non-opt-out plaintiff class consisting of any and all record and beneficial owners of outstanding shares of DBMG common stock who held such stock at any time during May 12, 2014 through and including the close of business on May 8, 2020, and including, among others, their successors.

The Revised Settlement Framework also provides for a release of claims by the plaintiff class in favor of a broad group of released defendant parties relating to, among other things, the action, the 2014 tender offer, all claims relating to HC2’s decision not to close a short-form merger shortly after the 2014 tender offer, and the implementation and funding of the Revised Settlement Framework.

Although the parties are seeking approval of Revised Settlement Framework, there can be no assurance that the Delaware Courts will approve the revised or any other settlement proposed by the parties. If a settlement cannot be reached, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Non-Operating Corporate

Stockholder Litigation

On April 10, 2020, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Tera v. HC2 Holdings Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2020-0275-JRS (the “Stockholder Litigation”). The complaint alleges that the Company’s consent revocation materials (i) contain misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation, (ii) fail to disclose that a majority of the Board may approve the nominees set forth by Percy Rockdale LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Percy Rockdale”), for purposes of the Certificates of Designation such that the Percy Rockdale nominees would be considered “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) and (iii) inaccurately state that electing the Percy Rockdale nominees will cause a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) under the Certificates of Designation because it will lead to a person or group obtaining the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board. The complaint seeks (i) a declaration requiring the Board to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees for purposes of the Certificates of Designation, (ii) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures and (iii) an injunction requiring the Board to issue additional disclosures relating to the Change of Control provisions in the Certificates of Designation. On April 19, 2020, the plaintiff amended his complaint to allege that the Supplement to the Consent Revocation Statement, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2020, contained misleading disclosures relating to the Certificates of Designation. The amended complaint seeks, among other remedies, (i) a declaration that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by issuing misleading disclosures; (ii) a declaration that, if a Change of Control could be deemed to occur under the Certificates of Designation, that such Change of Control provisions are invalid and unenforceable under Delaware law; (iii) an injunction requiring the defendants to issue corrective disclosures; and (iv) an order enjoining the Board from relying upon consent revocations received to date. On April 20, 2020, the Court of Chancery granted the plaintiff’s motion for expedited proceedings.

On April 15, 2020, the Board (with Mr. Falcone recusing himself because he is not an Independent Director) determined to approve the Percy Rockdale nominees, solely and specifically for the purposes of deeming them Continuing Directors pursuant to the Certificates of Designation, to avoid triggering, and to render inapplicable, such prong of the Change of Control definition. On April 17, 2020 and April 21, 2020, each of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, and, in each case, entitled to give a waiver, agreed that such holder will not seek to exercise its right to require the Company to redeem the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as applicable, if such redemption right were to arise as a result of the outcome of the Consent Solicitation based on one of the Change of Control prongs of the Certificate of Designation (which prong may require the Company to make an offer to redeem the Preferred Stock if any person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) obtains the power to elect a majority of the members of the Board). Therefore, in light of the foregoing, if the Percy Rockdale nominees become a majority of the Board pursuant to Percy Rockdale’s consent solicitation, the Company will not be required to offer to redeem the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. On April 23, 2020, the parties agreed that the waiver and

additional disclosures, combined with the prior disclosures and approval of Percy Rockdale’s nominees as Continuing Directors, mooted the need for expedition and a preliminary injunction hearing, and the parties informed the court that the plaintiff was withdrawing its request for expedition and a preliminary injunction. In exchange for the plaintiff agreeing to withdraw its request for preliminary injunction, the parties agreed to allow plaintiff to reserve the right to challenge the validity of the consent revocations received prior to the mooting actions in the event that Percy Rockdale loses the consent solicitation and the number of revocations received prior to the mooting actions were determinative of the outcome of the consent solicitation.

The Company agreed that it will issue to Corrib and Luxor, on each quarterly anniversary commencing May 29, 2017 (or, if later, the date on which the corresponding dividend payment is made to the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock), through and until the Maturity Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation), in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) 1.875% the Accrued Value (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) of Corrib’s or Luxor’s Preferred Stock as of the Closing Date (as defined in applicable Voluntary Conversion Agreements) divided by (b) the Thirty Day VWAP (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) for the period ending two business days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the respective Series A and Series A-1 Certificate of Designation).

21. Basic and Diluted Income 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 as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.

The Company had 0 dilutive common share equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to the results being a loss from continuing operations and discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) used in basic and diluted EPS calculations (in millions, except per share amounts):

Our Business

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

Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations, including:

The reclassification of GMSL's results to discontinued operations. Further, the reclassification of prior period assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale;

As a result of the sale of GMSL, and in accordance with ASC 280, the Company no longer considers the results of operations and Balance Sheets of GMH and its subsidiaries as a separate segment. Formerly the Marine Services segment, these entities and the investment in HMN have been reclassified to the Other segment.

The restatement of Earnings per share in the prior period, as a result of the discontinued operations noted above. This includes presenting EPS for Net (loss) income from continuing operations, Net (loss) income from discontinuing operations, and Net (loss) income.

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.

Seasonality and Cyclical Patterns
Our segments' operations can be highly cyclical and subject to seasonal patterns. Our volume of business in our Construction segment 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.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Impact on our Business

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic resulting in action from federal, state and local governments that has significantly affected virtually all facets of the U.S. and global economies. The U.S. federal and various state governments, have implemented enhanced screenings, quarantine requirements, and travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Company’s top priority is to protect its employees and their families, and those of the Company’s customers. The Company is taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and the local government, including changing operational procedures as necessary, providing additional protective gear and cleaning to protect them, which has resulted and may continue to result in in disruptions to and increased costs of the Company’s operations. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we conduct our operations. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.

The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak and related travel advisories and restrictions, and its impact to the U.S. and global financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Preventing the effects from and responding to this market disruption if any other public health threat, related or otherwise, may further increase costs of our business and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from authorities, including federal, state and local public health departments, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plans. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows in the future. However, we do expect that it could have a material adverse impact on our future revenue growth as well as our overall profitability and may lead to revised payment terms with certain of our customers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, particularly the month of March, the effects of COVID-19 and the related actions undertaken in the U.S. to attempt to control its spread, specifically impacting certain of our segments as follows:
39



Construction

DBMG is dependent on its workforce to carry out its services. Developments resulting from governmental responses to COVID-19 such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted, and will continue to impact, DBMG’s ability to deploy its workforce in its facilities and project sites efficiently. The nature of DBMG’s business does not permit alternative workforce arrangements in its facilities and project sites such as remote work schemes to be implemented effectively, and as a result of potential workforce disruptions, DBMG may experience delays or suspensions of projects, however there have not been material impacts during the three months ended March 31, 2020. DBMG may also experience disruptions in the supply chain depending on the spread of COVID-19 and related governmental orders. These delays, suspensions, and impacts to supply chain, may negatively impact DBMG’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. This could cause the timing of revenue to be delayed and possibly impact earnings and backlog. Persistent delays, suspensions or cancellations of projects under contract may occur while governments implement policies designed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such continued loss or suspension of projects under contract may negatively impact the DBMG’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Insurance

Our Insurance segment has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including multiple reductions in target interest rates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and significant market volatility, driving actual and projected results of our business operations as well as our views on potential effectiveness of certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The Company’s March 31, 2020 loss reflected in earnings is primarily impacted by the Insurance segment's unrealized losses on investments of $21.5 million, included in the Net realized and unrealized gains (loss) on investments line, primarily driven by equity and derivative mark to market adjustments. The impact on other comprehensive income was $355.5 million of unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities. Both of these were largely attributable to market factors caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Future recovery of losses will largely depend upon market reaction to additional COVID-19 stimulus packages, interest rates and timing and manner in which the economy is reopened. These unrealized losses are considered temporary in nature, as we have the ability to hold these securities to maturity.

Broadcasting

As a result of COVID-19, our Broadcasting segment has experienced adverse effects on its advertising business because of weakness in the advertising market as advertisers seek to reduce their own costs in response to the pandemic’s impact on their businesses. We are not able to predict when or whether advertising budgets and the advertising market generally, will return or be comparable to historical levels.

In addition, COVID-19 could impact our Broadcasting segment’s business, financial condition and results of operations in a number of other ways, including, but not limited to:

negative impact on our broadcast station revenue, as many of our customers also rely on advertising revenues and might be negatively affected by COVID-19;
slow-down of our ability to build out additional broadcast television stations, as illness, social distancing, and other pandemic-related precautions may result in equipment delivery delays and labor shortages, including the availability of tower crews, an already limited, highly-specialized work force necessary to install broadcast equipment;
negative impact on our network distribution revenues, as consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by cutting back or foregoing subscriptions to cable television or other multichannel video programming distributors;
negative impact on our financial condition or our ability to fund operations or future investment opportunities due to an increase in the cost or difficulty in obtaining debt or equity financing, or refinancing our debt in the future, or our ability to comply with our covenants;
impairments of our programming inventory, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; and
increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption, given increased online activity.

The magnitude of the impact on our Broadcasting segment will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19. Even after COVID-19 has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

(1) The Insurance segment revenues are inclusive of realized and unrealized gains and net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, which are related to transactions between entities under common control which are eliminated or are reclassified in consolidation.


Net revenue: Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 decreased $25.7$4.2 million to $475.7$444.8 million from $501.4$449.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was driven by our Insurance segment, net of eliminations, largely driven by unrealized losses resulting from unfavorable market movements in values for preferred stock holdings, partially offset by an increase in gains recognized on fixed maturities, and our Construction segment, primarily driven by a decline in revenuelower revenues from our Construction 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, partiallybusiness. These were largely offset by new revenues from DBMG’s acquisition of GrayWolf,increases at our industrial construction, maintenance and fabrication business, which was acquired late in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adding to the decrease was our TelecommunicationTelecommunications segment, attributed to changes in our customer mix fluctuations in wholesale voice termination volumes and market pressures, which resulted in a decline 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, driven by a decrease in the number and scale of GMSL projects under execution for cable installation and repair work in the offshore renewables, power utility and telecom end markets.volumes.

Income (loss) from operations: Income (loss) from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $33.9March 31, 2020 decreased $52.4 million to income of $9.6 million from a loss of $24.3$26.8 million from income of $25.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The increasedecrease in income from operations was primarily driven by our Insurance segment net of eliminations,largely driven by a decline in revenues, due to unrealized losses from unfavorable market movements in values for common and preferred stock holdings as a result of the KIC acquisition, which contributed additional net investment income and premiums, net of additionalCOVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in gains recognized on certain fixed maturities. Further adding to the decrease was an increase in policy benefits, paid to policy holders, changes in reserves, and commissions. Further improvementscommissions due to our comparable income from operations was the 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 projectnon-recurring favorable claims activity recognized in the comparable period along with unfavorable claims activity and decreasesreserves development in unutilized vessel costs.the current quarter.


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. The increase in income from operations was primarily driven by our Insurance segment, net of eliminations, due to the KIC acquisition, which contributed additional net investment income and premiums, net of additional policy benefits paid to policy holders, changes in reserves, and commissions. Further improvements to our comparable income from operations was the result of lower losses at our Broadcasting segment, mainly driven by cost cutting measures that resulted in a decrease in headcount and a decrease in associated compensation and overhead expenses.

Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 increased $6.5$2.5 million to $24.0$21.3 million from $17.5$18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $15.3 million to $69.3 million from $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The increases wereincrease was largely attributable to the additional interest and amortization of deferred financing fees driven by an increase in the aggregate principal amount of debt at our Non-operating Corporate and Construction segments.Broadcasting segment.


GainLoss on sale and deconsolidationearly extinguishment or restructuring of subsidiarydebt: GainLoss on sale and deconsolidationearly extinguishment or restructuring of subsidiary was zero and $3.0 milliondebt for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The changeMarch 31, 2020 was $5.8 million. This was driven by the deconsolidationwrite-off of 704Games.

Gain on saledeferred financing costs and deconsolidation of subsidiary was zero and $105.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

IncomeLoss from equity investees: IncomeLoss from equity investees for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 decreased $7.8$3.4 million to income of $0.3$2.5 million from income of $8.1$5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease in loss was largely due to lower equity method incomelosses recorded from our equity investment in HMN driven by comparatively stronger results in the prior period. Adding to the decline were increased losses in our equity investment in Medibeacon, due to the timingHMN.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax benefit (expense) was a benefit of clinical trials.

Income (loss) from equity investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $12.2$12.6 million to incomeand an expense of $1.5 million from income of $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decreases were largely due to lower equity method income recorded from our equity investment in HMN and S.B. Submarine Systems ("SBSS"), driven by comparatively stronger results in the prior period.

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 income, net: Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $57.1 million to $6.8 million from $63.9$4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, decreased $58.6 million to $5.4 million from $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decreases were driven by the establishment of estimate contingent liabilities, the $44.2 million gain in 2018, which established the Inseego investment to the fair value method of accounting, and the $17.7 million reinsurance recapture gain in 2018 by our Insurance Segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information


Adjusted EBITDA


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, lease termination costs, asset impairment expense, and FCC reimbursements; asset impairment expense; 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; noncontrolling interest; bonus to be settled in equity; share-based compensation expense; discontinued operations; non-recurring items; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Construction: Net income from our Construction segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $2.1 million to $18.0 million from $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Construction segment for the nine months ended 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 project execution and new gross profit contribution from the GrayWolf acquisition. These increases were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expense, which is primarily attributable to the GrayWolf acquisition.

Marine Services: Net income from our Marine Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $6.0 million to a loss of $1.9 million from income of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Marine Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $4.4 million to $21.4 million from $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a decline in income from equity method investees, due in part to the timing of HMN turnkey project work and a loss recorded at SBSS in the current 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 a bad debt expense due to a favorable receivable settlement during the quarter.

Energy: Net loss from our Energy segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.8 million to $1.4 million from $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 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 acquisition of ampCNG stations. Offsetting these decreases were increases in gross profit driven by the ampCNG 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 period.


Telecommunications: Net income from our Telecommunications segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $2.7 million to $0.7 million from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA from our Telecommunications segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $1.4 million to $2.4 million from $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to both a decline in revenue and the contracting of call termination margin as a result of the 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. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Life Sciences segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $3.5 million to $8.7 million from $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by comparably fewer expenses at the Pansend holding company, which incurred additional compensation expense related to the performance of the segment in the prior period, and reductions in losses related 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.

Broadcasting: Net loss from our Broadcasting segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $15.1 million to $14.1 million from $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Broadcasting segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $8.4 million to $5.3 million from $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily driven by the reduction in costs as the segment exited certain local markets which were unprofitable at Network, partially offset by higher overhead expenses associated with the growth of the Broadcast stations subsequent to the prior year as well as research and development costs associated with OTA technology in development.

Non-operating Corporate: Net loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $12.8 million to $70.0 million from $57.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA loss from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $3.1 million to $15.2 million from $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by reductionsseverance payments made in professional service fees, bonus expense,the comparable period and travel and entertainment, partially offset by an increase in employee wage and benefitsreduced overhead expenses.

Adjusted Operating Income - Insurance


Adjusted Operating Income ("Insurance AOI") and Pre-tax Adjusted Operating Income (“Pre-tax Insurance AOI”) for the Insurance segment are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures frequently used throughout the insurance industry and are economic measures 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 provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. However, Insurance AOI and 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 performance measures have inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as these non-U.S. GAAP measures 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 do not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) from operations or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as measures 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; gain on bargain purchase gains,purchase; gain on reinsurance gain;recaptures; 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 and Pre-tax Insurance AOI provide meaningful financial metrics that help 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 millions). Refer to the analysis of the fluctuations within the results of operations section:

Pre-tax Insurance AOI for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $24.8March 31, 2020 decreased $22.1 million to income of $13.5$6.6 million as compared to a loss of $11.3from $28.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2018. Pre-tax Insurance AOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $83.9 million to Pre-tax Insurance AOI income of $75.2 million, as compared to a Pre-tax Insurance AOI loss of $8.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The increasedecrease was primarily driven by non-recurring favorable claims activity recognized in the incremental net investment incomecomparable period and policy premiums fromadditional unfavorable claims activity and reserve developments in the KIC block acquisitioncurrent year. Additionally, the Insurance segment incurred larger expenses due to increases in headcount and higher net investment income from the legacy CGI block driven by bothother overhead to support the growth and mix of the investment portfolio, includingsegment, additional premium reinvestmenttaxes, and rotation into higher yield assets. In addition, there was a decrease in policy benefits, changes in reserves, and commissions related to current period reserve adjustments driven by higher mortality and policy terminations, an increase in contingent non-forfeiture option activity as a result of in-force rate actions approved and implemented, and favorable developments in claims activity. This was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily attributable to headcount additions related to the KIC acquisition.miscellaneous software expenses.


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,March 31, 2020, DBMG's backlog was $475.3$485.5 million, consisting of $354.0$401.0 million under contracts or purchase orders and $121.3$84.5 million under letters of intent or notices to proceed. Approximately $147.6$108.0 million, representing 31.0%22.3% of DBMG’s backlog at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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.

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. WeIn the future, we may also choose to sell assets or certain investments to generate cash.


51


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 service 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, 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, 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.


Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on the HC2’s liquidity in the first quarter of 2020, management believes the continuation of the pandemic and its related effect on the U.S. and global economies could introduce added pressure on the Company’s liquidity position and financial performance. Our sources of liquidity are primarily from the dividends from our operating subsidiaries, tax sharing agreement with DBMG, cash proceeds from completed and anticipated monetization’s and other arrangements.

Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our corporate staff has begun working remotely and many of our key vendors, and consultants have similarly begun to work remotely. As a result of such remote work arrangements, certain operational, reporting, accounting and other processes may slow, which could result in longer time to execute critical business functions.

Indebtedness


See Note 13.14. Debt Obligations and Note 22. Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our long-term debt.



Restrictive Covenants


The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes dated November 20, 2018, by and among HC2, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association ("U.S. Bank"), as trustee (the "Secured Indenture"), contains certain affirmative and negative covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company, and, in certain cases, the Company’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.


The Company is also required to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, which are similarly subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include maintenance of (1) liquidity; (2) collateral coverage; (3) secured net leverage ratio; and (4) fixed charge coverage 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 Guarantors, (ii) amounts available for drawing under revolving credit facilities and undrawn letters of credit of the 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 obligation to pay interest on the Senior Secured Notes and all other Debt,debt, 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 its Subsidiary Guarantors for the next six months. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.


The maintenance of collateral coverage provides that the certain subsidiaries'Company's Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Secured 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 1.50 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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,March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with this covenant. 


52


The maintenance of fixed charge coverage ratio provides that commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019,2020, 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. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance.


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 quartersperiods 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 periodperiod.

Operating Activities


Cash provided by operating activities was $95.5$36.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $136.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $41.2 million decrease was the result of the recapture of reinsurance treaties by our Insurance segment in 2018 and was offset in part by improved performance of the Insurance segment subsequent to the KIC acquisition and the Broadcasting segment driven by the cost cutting measures, and an increase in the working capital at our Construction and Telecommunications segments.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $201.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $2.1 million change was the result of the working capital improvements in our Construction and Energy segments. Our Construction segment benefited from increased billings in excess of costs on new projects, while our Energy segment benefited from AFTC related collections in the current period. These increases were offset by the working capital declines in our Telecommunication and Insurance segments. Our Telecommunication segment experienced a decline due to the timing of vendor payments and receivables collections, while our Insurance segment recorded a large tax receivable during the current quarter as a result of the CARES Act, refer to Note 15. Income Taxes for further detail.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $67.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $525.4$56.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The $726.9$123.6 million change was a result of the sale of GMSL, in which $144.0 million in cash was received, partially offset by cash used from net investing activity at our Insurance segment.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $145.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $142.0 million change was largely a result of the principal payments on debt obligations at our Corporate segment of $95.4 million and payments to minority shareholders at our Other segment of $42.5 million, both from proceeds received from the Insurance segment's acquisition of KIC and the Life Sciences segment's disposition of BeneVir in 2018. This was offset by a reduction in net cash used by the Insurance segment's purchases of investments.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $53.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $75.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $22.3 million decrease was a result of a decrease in net borrowings by the Construction and Broadcasting segments was offset in part by the increase in net borrowings by the Marine Services segment and a decline in cash paid to noncontrolling interest holders driven by the proceeds from our Life Sciences segment's sale of BeneVir in 2018.GMSL.

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, and dividends for the foreseeable future.


DBMG is required to make monthly or quarterly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 debt balance, DBMG anticipates that its interest payments will be approximately $1.7$2.4 million each quarter.quarter of 2020.


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. Market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors could adversely impact our ability to access capital as and when needed.

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 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, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CIG performed adverse stress testing of investments and reserves which still yielded results in ending the year with a Risk-Based Capital (" RBC") well above regulatory minimums.




Dividend Limitations


CIG's insurance subsidiary is subject to Texas statutory provisions that restrict the payment of dividends. The dividend limitationsmaximum amount of dividends which can be paid to stockholders by life insurance companies domiciled in the State of Texas without prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner is the greater of 10% of surplus as regards to policyholders or net gain on CIG areoperations as of the preceding year end, but only to the extent of earned surplus as of the preceding year end. The maximum amount of dividends payable in 2020 and 2019 without prior approval was $0 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 includeearned deficit.

In addition to 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 state in which its subsidiary is domiciled, which subject its subsidiary to significant regulatory restrictions. Theselimitations noted above, laws and regulations require, among other things,items, that the CIG’s insurance subsidiary to maintain minimum solvency requirements, andwhich may 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")RBC ratio. CIG monitors its insurance subsidiary's compliance with the RBC requirements specified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2020, CIG’s insurance subsidiary exceeded the minimum RBC requirements.

Insurance Companies Capital Contributions


The Company has an agreement with the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDOI”) that, for two years from August 9, 2018, CIG will contribute to Continental General Insurance Company (“CGI” or the “Insurance Company”)CGI 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. 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 agreements 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 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 consideringgiving consideration to 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.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

DBMG


DBMG’s off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 included letters of credit of $9.1 million under Credit and Security Agreements and performance bonds of $136.8$127.1 million.

DBMG’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require DBMG to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with public works projects and sometimes with respect to certain private contracts. DBMG’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.


Corporate

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


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 are classified as available-for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that the decline reflects 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, 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 the following impact (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 international subsidiaries into USD. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the 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 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.

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

The Company is exposed to the market risk from changes in interest rates through their borrowings, which bear variable rates based on LIBOR or selected alternate rates. Changes to these rates could result in an increase or decrease in interest expense recorded. A 100, 200, and 300 basis point increase based on our floating rate borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2019 of $170.8 million, would result in an increase in the recorded interest expense of $1.7 million, $3.4 million, and $5.1 million per 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 defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") 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, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item
ITEM 1. Legal ProceedingsLEGAL 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 15.16. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Item 1A. Risk Factors


Other than noted 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, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2019.16, 2020.


Risks Related to our Businesses

Our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted by COVID-19.

We are monitoring and continue to assess the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses and operations. We operate in a number of industries and geographies that are expected to be impacted materially by the COVID-19 pandemic. The scope of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic impact on our businesses depends on many factors beyond our control, and the effects are difficult to assess or predict with meaningful precision both generally and specifically as to our businesses. While the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our results is uncertain, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be material to our businesses.

The pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries. During the COVID-19 pandemic and even after it has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to the Company’s business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact, including any recession, economic downturn, government spending cuts, tightening of credit markets or increased unemployment that has occurred or may occur in the future, which could cause its ultimate customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on its products or put downward pressure on prices. In addition, the illness, incapacitation or death due to COVID-19 of any key personnel of our businesses can have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of COVID-19, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel bans, declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing and other commercial restrictions and closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time.

The Company’s top priority is to protect its employees and their families, and those of the Company’s customers. The Company is taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and the local government, including changing operational procedures as necessary, providing additional protective gear and cleaning to protect them, which has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to and increased costs of the Company’s operations.

Individually and collectively, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The extent that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those relating to the Company’s level of indebtedness, its ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in the agreements that govern the Company’s indebtedness and volatility of the Company’s common stock price.




Risks Related to the Construction Segment

DBMG is dependent on its workforce to carry out its services. Developments resulting from governmental responses to COVID-19 such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives have impacted, and will continue to impact, DBMG’s ability to deploy its workforce in its facilities and project sites efficiently. The nature of DBMG’s business does not permit alternative workforce arrangements in its facilities and project sites such as remote work schemes to be implemented effectively, and as a result of potential workforce disruptions, DBMG may experience delays or suspensions of projects, however there have not been material impacts during the three months ended March 31, 2020. DBMG may also experience disruptions in the supply chain depending on the spread of COVID-19 and related governmental orders. These delays, suspensions, and impacts to supply chain, may negatively impact DBMG’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. likely will cause the timing of revenue and possibly impact earnings and backlog. Persistent delays, suspensions or cancellations of projects under contract may occur while governments implement policies designed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such continued loss or suspension of projects under contract may negatively impact the DBMG’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Risks Related to the Insurance Segment

Our Insurance segment may incur increased losses under insurance policies that it has written including group life insurance, individual life insurance, and annuities, which may result in increased death claims due to COVID-19 mortality. Our Insurance segment has not written or does not retain any risk for workers’ compensation, short-term disability, general liability, surety, director and officer liability, and employment practices liability which are key insurance liabilities that may be directly impacted by COVID-19.

Our Insurance segment does not actively issue or market new policies, therefore there is no potential disruptions to brokers or agents that would have an impact on operations.

In addition, our insurance segment relies on timely collections of premiums due from our customers. Regulatory requirements applicable to our Insurance segment to extend premium grace periods (e.g., FL Memorandum OIR – 20-04M), potential delays in obtaining rate increase approvals for the long-term care liabilities, and increased demands for cash surrender values for life and annuity liabilities may negatively impacted our cash flows and result of operations.

Risks related to our Life Sciences Segment

Our Life Sciences segment may be adversely disrupted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, requirements to implement COVID-19 operational measures at clinical trial sites may result in clinical studies in some locations being delayed. Such delays may slow progress towards regulatory clearances and approval of our products in the U.S. and globally. In addition, stay-in-place orders of governmental authorities have impacted the ability of our employees to continue to conduct research and development activities despite our work-from-home policies. Disruptions in our labor force and in the labor force of our suppliers may also lead to delays in our manufacturing scale up, which in turn could result in delays in our product launch plans and ultimate customer adoption of our products. In the event that we are unable to achieve anticipated regulatory clearances or commence certain clinical trials in a timely manner due to the ongoing pandemic, we could fail to achieve the final milestones under our stock purchase agreements with Hangzhou Huasheng Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou”) which in turn could result in Hangzhou determining not to purchase the final $10.0 million of preferred stock for R2, and not to purchase the final $15.0 million of preferred stock for MediBeacon, and our inability to continue our operations.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business operations of our Life Science segment is highly uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, additional or modified government actions, new information that will emerge concerning the severity and impact of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or address its impact in the short and long term, among others.

Risks related to our Broadcasting segmentSegment


Our Broadcasting Licenses are issuedsegment has been, and may continue to be, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in numerous ways. Broadcasting is dependent on advertising revenue, and subjectnumerous advertisers have reduced or suspended their purchase of television advertising time, primarily due to the jurisdictioncessation of local consumer business activity mandated by state governors. Many of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), pursuanttop industries that are heavy television advertisers have suffered from these business shut downs, including the significant industry sectors relating to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). The Communications Act empowers the FCC, among other actions, to issue, renew, revoketravel, entertainment and modify broadcasting licenses; determine stations’ frequencies, locationstheme parks, auto sales, all consumer retail, casual dining 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 denial 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 violationsquick serve restaurants. We may also be indirectly impacted by the licensee of either the Communications Act or the FCC’s rules and regulations and there have been no other violationsslow-down in television advertising by the licensee of the 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 authorizedour spectrum lease clients. These clients pay us lease fees 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 acquisition of a broadcast television station license, the acquiring person or entity must demonstrate that the acquisition complies with applicable FCC ownership rules or that a waiver of the 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 broadcast station license by any corporation with more than 25 percent of its stock owned or voted by non-U.S. persons,air their representatives or any other corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country, foreign ownership above such threshold is determined by the FCCprogramming 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-serviceour television stations, and requiresmany of them to accept interferencerely on advertising revenue from existing or future full-servicethose television stations to pay such spectrum lease fees. Losses in our clients’ advertising revenue could expose us to consequential loss of broadcast station revenue.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down our ability to build out our additional television stations. Illness, social distancing, and other primary licensees.  LPTV and TV Translator licensees are subject to fewer regulatory obligations than full-power and Class 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 rightspandemic-related precautions have resulted 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 required 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 Class 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 this special displacement window.  But some LPTV and TV translator stations displaced as a result of the 600 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 found 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 post-auction relocation environment, which is creating scarcity of industry equipment and labor. The FCC may extend these deadlines for reasons beyond the control of a station licensee, and has granted such extensions for reasons of equipment delivery delays or installationand labor shortages, dueincluding the availability of tower crews, an already limited, highly-specialized and thinly-stretched work force necessary to install our broadcast antennas and related equipment. We depend on operational stations for our revenue, and delays in completing our station builds will directly result in delays in monetizing those stations.

Our ability to refinance our short term debt may be compromised to the post-auction repack. However, it remains possible that we will not be ableextent COVID-19 disrupts our access to build all of our silent stations by their on-air deadlines, in which case those licenses will expire.the high-yield debt markets.


Obscenity 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 violation of the prohibition against obscene or indecent broadcasts and up to $3,300,000 for any continuing violation based on any single act or failure to act. The FCC may also revoke or refuse to renew a broadcast station license based on a serious violation of the agency’s obscenity and indecency rules.
