(b)Consolidation and Presentation

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim periods. We include all of our subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation. Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

While preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited

condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, investments and goodwill. Except for the captions on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), we generally use the term loss(es) to collectively refer to both loss and loss adjustment expenses.

We reclassified certain amounts in the 2019 financial statements to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations or stockholders' equity, as previously reported.

Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate our results for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.

(c)Impact of COVID-19 and Financial Status

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans and restrictions, self-imposed quarantine periods, state and local shelter-in-place orders, business and government shutdowns and social distancing, have caused and continue to cause material disruption to businesses and economies globally. In addition, global equity markets have experienced and continue to experience significant volatility and weakness.

We are committed to maintaining a stable and secure business for our employees, agents, customers and stockholders in our resolve to maintain a stable and secure business.stockholders. During the third quartersecond half of 2020, we were able to resume hiring activities, despite the limits on in-person interviews and on-boarding procedures resulting from COVID-related protocols. In addition, we have converted to virtual sales processes to enable our agents to continue their activities. We believe these activities, collectively, help ensure the health and safety of our employees through adherence to CDC, state and local government work guidelines.

We have not experienced a material impact from COVID-19 on our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders to date, with the exceptions of fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to volatility of the equity securities markets, as further described in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-Q. We reduced the size of the equity securities portfolio during the third quarter of 2020, which has reduced the impact of fluctuations in the markets on our financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions did not have a material impact on our access to credit and capital markets needed to maintain sufficient liquidity for our continued operating needs during the third quarter of 2020.ended September 30, 2021.

The scope, severity and longevity of any business shutdowns and economic disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, as new information may continue to emerge concerning the actions governments may take to contain or mitigate the spread of the virus or address its impact on individuals, businesses and the economy. We did not incur material claims or significant disruptions to our business for the three and nine monthsnine-months ended September 30, 2020.2021. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the extent of the impact of the economic uncertainties on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods, due to uncertainty regarding the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and take reasonable measures to make sure customers continue to be served without interruption.

2)    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Changes to Significant Accounting Policies

We have made no changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, except for the standards adopted in 20202021 as noted below.

(b) Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through three different pools of assets based on similar risk characteristics: premiums receivable for direct written business; reinsurance recoverables from ceded losses to our reinsurers; and our note receivable. We estimate the expected credit losses based on historical trends, credit ratings assigned to reinsurers by rating agencies, average default rates, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts over its expected life. Changes in the relevant information may significantly affect the estimates of expected credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. Each period, the allowance for credit losses is adjusted through earnings to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining lives of the assets.

Total$562 $(213)$202 $551 

(c) Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to mitigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. Among other things, the CARES Act included technical corrections to the effective date language in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted on December 22, 2017. We assessed two provisions of the CARES Act to determine the impact to our business.

First, the TCJA simplified the definition of "qualified improvement property" and removed the 15-year life for cost recovery, resulting in a 39-year life which excluded the assets from being eligible for bonus depreciation. The CARES Act reinstated the 15-year recovery period effective as if it had been included in the TCJA, making the change applicable to property placed in service after December 31, 2017. After performing our assessment, we concluded that this provision had no impact to our financial statements.

Second, the TCJA eliminated the two-year carryback period and provided for indefinite carryforward of net operating losses against future tax periods, with the future deduction limited to 80% of taxable income before consideration of net operating loss deduction. The CARES Act amended the law for net operating losses generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. Net operating losses generated by a corporation during these taxable years now have a five-year carryback period. In addition, these losses can be carried forward to future taxable years without being subject to the 80% limitation. After performing our assessment, we concluded that this provision increased our federal tax recoverable by $12,513,000 and decreased our deferred tax asset by $7,250,000.

(d) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). This update modifies the existing disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 by changing requirements regarding Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 investments. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Entities are permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures of ASU 2018-13 immediately and delay the adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We early adopted the guidance on removed and modified disclosures and adopted the remainder of the guidance on January 1, 2020, which has not impacted the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). This update simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for certain requirements. We adopted this guidance in the course of performing our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2020 using data as of September 30, 2020. Any potential impairments will be recorded as of December 31, 2020. Any impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures will be dependent on market conditions of the reporting units at the time of our assessment and subsequent adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). This update is intended to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a method that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 will provide users with more useful
11

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
information regarding the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. In addition, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities will now have to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, which allowed us to initially apply the new credit loss guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for 2020, with no adjustment to prior periods presented. The cumulative effect to the opening balance of retained earnings for 2020 was a decrease of $262,000, net of reversals from allowances recorded under prior guidance.

(e) Pending Accounting Pronouncements

We have evaluated recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements or on our disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). This update enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax guidance, including intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We doadopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021. The newly adopted guidance did not intend to early adopt and are assessing thehave a material impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(c) Pending Accounting Pronouncements

We have evaluated pending accounting pronouncements and do not believe any would have an impact on the operations or financial reporting of our company.

Portfolio monitoring

We have a quarterly portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed-income security whose carrying value may be impaired as the result of a credit loss. For each fixed-income security in an unrealized loss position, if we determine that we intend to sell the security or that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, the security's entire decline in fair value is recorded in earnings.

If our management decides not to sell the fixed-income security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the fixed-income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This is typically indicated by a change in the rating of the security assigned by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or industry, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded in earnings. Credit loss is limited to the difference between a security's amortized cost basis and its fair value. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

During the three and nine monthsnine-months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we determined that none of our fixed-income securities shown in the table below that are in an unrealized loss position have declines in fair value that are reflected as a result of credit losses. Therefore, no credit loss allowance was recorded at September 30, 2020.2021. The issuers of our debt security investments continue to make interest payments on a timely basis. We do not intend to sell, nor is it likely that we would be required to sell the debt securities before we recover our amortized cost basis. Equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the valuation of equity investments.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.

Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
    (a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
    (b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
(c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.

We estimate the fair value of our investments using the closing prices on the last business day of the reporting period, obtained from active markets such as the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, we use a third-party pricing service that utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs to estimate the fair value of those securities for which quoted prices are unavailable. Our estimates of fair value reflect the interest rate environment that existed as of the close of business on September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Changes in interest rates subsequent to September 30, 20202021 may affect the fair value of our investments.

The fair value of our fixed maturities is initially calculated by a third-party pricing service. Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of proprietary models, produce valuation information in the form of a single fair value for individual fixed-income and other securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, liquidity spreads, currency rates and other information, as applicable. Credit and liquidity spreads are typically implied from completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities. Valuation service providers also use proprietary discounted cash flow models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry and similar to those used by other market participants to value the same financial information. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date, as described above, as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector and, where applicable, collateral quality and other issue or issuer specific information. Executing valuation models effectively requires seasoned professional judgment and experience.

Any change in the estimated fair value of our fixed-income securities would impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss we have recorded, which could change the amount we have recorded for our investments and other comprehensive income (loss) on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020.2021.

(1) Other investments included in the fair value hierarchy exclude these limited partnership interests that are measured at estimated fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; this is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, other assets, and other liabilities. The carrying amount of the notes payable to the Florida State Board of Administration, Truist Financial Corporation (Truist) (formerly known as Branch Banking & Trust Corporation or BB&T), and our senior notes approximate fair value as the interest rates and terms are variable.

We are responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. We have implemented a system of processes and controls designed to provide assurance that our assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. For fair values received from third parties, our processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded.

At the end of each quarter, we determine whether we need to transfer the fair values of any securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy and, if so, we report the transfer as of the end of the quarter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020,2021, we transferred no investments between levels.

For our investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, we obtain the fair values from our investment custodians, which use a third-party valuation service. The valuation service calculates prices for our investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, and adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve at 3 p.m. (ET) as of quarter end. Since the inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, they represent Level 2 inputs.

Other investments

We acquired investments in limited partnerships, recorded in the other investments line of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we currently account for these investments are currently being measured at estimated fair value utilizing a net asset value per share equivalent methodology.(or its equivalent) practical expedient.

6) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill, both at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, was $73,045,000. There was no goodwill acquired or disposed of during the three or nine nine-month periods ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

We completed our most recent goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 20192020 and determined that there was no impairment in the value of the asset as of December 31, 2019. The future potential impacts of COVID-19 on the operating results of our reporting units are uncertain, as we continue to monitor the global economic volatility. However, we remain committed to our strategic plan to realize our long-term forecasts. As a result of our analysis, and in consideration of the totality of events and circumstances, we did not identify any triggering events of impairment during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.

No impairment loss in the value of goodwill was recognized during the three or nine nine-month periods ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. Additionally, there was no accumulated impairment related to goodwill at September 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

7)    REINSURANCE

Our reinsurance program is designed, utilizing our risk management methodology, to address our exposure to catastrophes. Our program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes, including hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes. These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our policyholders. Although reinsurance agreements contractually obligate our reinsurers to reimburse us for the agreed-upon portion of our gross paid losses, they do not discharge our primary liability.

Our program includes excess of loss, aggregate excess of loss and quota share treaties. Our excess of loss treaty, in effect from June 1, 20202021 through May 31, 2021,2022, provides coverage for catastrophe losses from named or numbered windstorms and earthquakes up to an exhaustion point of approximately $3,300,000,000. In addition to this treaty, we have an aggregate$2,900,000,000. Under our core catastrophe excess of loss treaty effectiveand excess of loss aggregate treaty, retention on a first and second event is $15,000,000 each and retention on subsequent events totals $1,000,000, resulting in a maximum retention of $31,000,000. Retentions for JIC are $4,000,000 for a first event and $1,000,000 for subsequent events, covering all perils. Retention for IIC is $3,000,000 per occurrence, covering all perils.

Effective January 1, 2020, which2021, we renewed our all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement. The agreement provides coverage for allprotection from catastrophe perilsloss events other than hurricanes, tropical storms, tropical depressionsnamed windstorms and earthquakes. We ceded $30,000,000 in catastrophe losses under this treaty forearthquakes up to $110,000,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 2021, we ceded $91,127,000. As a result of Winter Storm Uri, we incurred reinstatement premiums totaling $14,732,000 related to this agreement as of September 30, 2021.

The quota share agreement,agreements, effective June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, providesprovided coverage for all catastrophe perils and attritional losses incurred by two of our insurance subsidiaries, UPC and FSIC. Effective December 31, 2020, we extended these agreements that were set to expire on May 31, 2021. The cession rate of this extension is comprised of a quota share cession of 23.0% through May 31, 2022, which covers UPC, FSIC, and was amended to include ACIC as a part of the extension, with the remaining 7.5% covering UPC and FSIC only, which was nonrenewed at June 1, 2021. For all catastrophe perils, the quota share agreement providesagreements provide ground-up protection effectively reducing our retention for catastrophe losses.

In addition, effective June 1, 2021 our quota share agreements were modified to exclude policies in New York. This modification was made as the result of our 100% internal quota share agreement, effective June 1, 2021, which cedes 100% of UPC's in-force, new, and renewal policies in the state of New York to our subsidiary IIC.

Effective December 31, 2020, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI. Under the terms of this agreement, HCPCI provided 69.5% quota share reinsurance on in-force, new and renewal policies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island effective December 31, 2020 through June 1, 2021.

Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap. Under the terms of this agreement, we will cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies is 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap. As a result, our quota share and excess of loss agreements were modified to exclude policies in these states effective June 1, 2021.

We write the majority of our flood insurance policies under an agreement with the National Flood Insurance Program. We cede 100% of the premiums written and the related risk of loss to the federal government. We earn commissions for the issuance of flood policies based upon a fixed percentage of net written premiums and the processing of flood claims based upon a fixed percentage of incurred losses, and we can earn additional commissions by meeting certain growth targets for the number of in-force policies. We recognized commission revenue from our flood program of $431,000$380,000 and $394,000$431,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and $1,195,000$1,270,000 and $1,034,000$1,195,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.

that the reserve for unpaid losses reasonably represents the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.

This favorableadverse development came as a result of the strengthening of our case reserves throughout 2019 based on a reviewincreased litigation related to claims being filed in the state of historical loss trends. The incurred losses and LAE for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the incurred losses and LAE for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to a higher frequency of catastrophe activity during the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the prior period.Florida. The loss payments made by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 were in line withhigher than the loss payments we made during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020, due to the settling of claims related to the unprecedented catastrophe activity that took place in 2020. Case and IBNR reserves increased when compared to the prior period as a result of Winter Storm Uri which occurred in the first quarter of 2021 and Hurricane Ida which made landfall in the third quarter of 2021. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses increased as a result of the higher ultimate loss estimatesfrequency of 2020 catastrophe activity coupled with increases in our ceded losses related to Hurricane Irma.Irma, Winter Storm Uri, and Hurricane Ida. In addition, we increased losses ceded to our quota share agreements, due to the changes outlined in Note 7 of these financial statements.

Senior Notes Payable

On December 13, 2017, we issued $150,000,000 of 10-year senior notes (the Senior Notes) that will mature on December 15, 2027 and bear interest at a rate equal to 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15, commencing June 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. We may redeem the Senior Notes at our option, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part, prior to September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the date of redemption to the date that is three months prior to maturity. On or after that date, we may redeem the Senior Notes at par.

Florida State Board of Administration Note Payable

On September 22, 2006, we issued a $20,000,000, 20-year note payable to the Florida State Board of Administration (the SBA Note). For the first three years of the SBA Note we were required to pay interest only. On October 1, 2009, we began to repay the principal in addition to interest. The SBA Note bears an annual interest rate equivalent to the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate (as defined in the SBA Note agreement), which resets quarterly.

Truist Term Note Payable

On May 26, 2016, we issued a $5,200,000, 15-year term note payable to Truist (the Truist Note), with the intent to use the funds to purchase, renovate, furnish and equip our principal executive office. The Truist Note bears interest at 1.65% in excess of the one-month LIBOR, which resets monthly. LIBOR is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. In the event of default, Truist may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable, require us to pledge additional collateral to the bank, and take possession of and foreclose upon our principal executive office, which has been pledged to the bank as security for the loan.

Financial Covenants

immediately preceding the date on which such additional indebtedness is incurred would have been no greater than 0.3:1, determined on a pro forma basis as if the additional indebtedness and all other indebtedness incurred since the immediately preceding balance sheet date had been incurred and the proceeds therefrom applied as of such day. The Company and its subsidiaries also may not create, assume, incur or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a lien on the voting stock of any significant subsidiary without securing the Senior Notes equally. The Company may not issue, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the capital stock of the Company’s significant subsidiaries as of the issue date of the Senior Notes (except to the Company or to one or more of the Company’s other subsidiaries, or for the purpose of qualifying directors or as may be required by law or regulation), subject to certain exceptions. At September 30, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with the covenants in the Senior Notes.

September 30, 2020

SBA Note - Our SBA Note requires that UPC maintain either a 2:1 ratio of net written premium to surplus, or net writing ratio, or a 6:1 ratio of gross written premium to surplus, or gross writing ratio, to avoid additional interest penalties. The SBA Note agreement defines surplus for the purpose of calculating the required ratios as the $20,000,000 of capital contributed to UPC under the agreement plus the outstanding balance of the note. Should UPC fail to exceed either a net writing ratio of 1.5:1 or a gross writing ratio of 4.5:1, UPC's interest rate will increase by 450 basis points above the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate, which was 0.64%0.00% at the end of September 2020.2021. Any other writing ratio deficiencies result in an interest rate penalty of 25 basis points above the stated rate of the note. Our SBA Note further provides that the Florida State Board of Administration may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable upon any default existing under the SBA Note; however, any payment is subject to approval by the insurance regulatory authority. At September 30, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with the covenants in the SBA Note.

Truist Note - Our Truist Note requires that, at all times while there has been no losses from our insurance subsidiaries' operations (non-recurring losses), we will maintain a minimum cash flow coverage ratio of 1.2:1. The cash flow coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of our cash flow to debt service charges. This ratio will be tested annually, based on our audited financial statements. For the one-year period following a non-recurring loss, we are required to maintain a minimum cash flow coverage ratio of 1.0:1. This covenant will only be effective if the pre non-recurring losses test is failed, and is only available and effective for one annual test period. Thereafter, the non-recurring loss cash flow coverage ratio of 1.2:1 will immediately apply. At the time of the most recent annual test period, December 31, 2019,2020, we were not in compliance with the minimum cash flow coverage ratio covenant in the Truist Note. However, weAs a result, the Company has obtained a waiver from Truist for such non-compliance for the yearperiod ended December 31, 2019.2020.

In addition, the Truist Note requires that we establish and maintain with Truist at all times during the term of the loan a non-interest bearing demand deposit account with a minimum balance of $500,000, and an interest-bearing account with a minimum balance of $1,500,000. In the event of default, Truist may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable, require us to pledge additional collateral to the bank, and take possession of and foreclose upon our corporate headquarters, which has been pledged to the bank as security for the loan. AtEffective June 2, 2021, our Truist Note Agreement was amended to remove all financial convents, therefore, at September 30, 2020, we2021, the financial covenants were no longer in compliance with the covenants in the Truist Note other than the minimum cash flow coverage ratio covenant.        effect.

11)    ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through three different pools of assets based on similar risk characteristics: premiums receivable for direct written business; reinsurance recoverables from ceded losses to our reinsurers; and our notes receivable. We estimate the expected credit losses based on historical trends, credit ratings assigned to reinsurers by rating

agencies, average default rates, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts over its expected life. Changes in the relevant information may significantly affect the estimates of expected credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. Each period, the allowance for credit losses is adjusted through earnings to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining lives of the assets.

The following tables summarize our allowance for expected credit losses by pooled asset for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

12)    STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATION

The insurance industry is heavily regulated. State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as our insurance subsidiaries. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital, restrict insurers' ability to pay dividends, specify allowable investment types and investment mixes, and subject insurers to assessments. Our insurance subsidiaries UPC, ACIC and JIC are domiciled in Florida, while FSIC and IIC areis domiciled in New York. On April 2, 2021, our insurance subsidiary, FSIC, was redomiciled from Hawaii and New York, respectively.to Florida. At September 30, 2020,2021, and during the three and nine monthsnine-months then ended, our insurance subsidiaries met all regulatory requirements of the states in which they operate. We did not receive any significant assessments from regulatory authorities in the states in which our insurance subsidiaries operate.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has Risk-Based Capital (RBC) guidelines for insurance companies that are designed to assess capital adequacy and to raise the level of protection that statutory surplus provides for policyholders. Most states, including Florida Hawaii and New York, have enacted statutory requirements adopting the NAIC RBC guidelines, and insurers having less statutory surplus than required will be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, depending on the level of capital inadequacy. State insurance regulatory authorities could require an insurer to cease operations in the event the insurer fails to maintain the required statutory capital.

The state laws of Florida Hawaii and New York permit an insurer to pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of statutory surplus derived from net operating profit and net realized capital gains. The state laws further provide calculations to determine the amount of dividends or distributions that can be made without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states and the amount of dividends or distributions that would require prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states. Statutory RBC requirements may further restrict our insurance subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause statutory surplus to fall below minimum RBC requirements.

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 20202021

The SBA Note is considered a surplus note pursuant to statutory accounting principles. As a result, UPC is subject to the authority of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Florida with regard to its ability to repay principal and interest on the SBA Note. Any payment of principal or interest requires permission from the insurance regulatory authority.

Our insurance subsidiaries must each file with the various insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, statutory net income (loss) and surplus as regards policyholders, which is called stockholders' equity under GAAP. For the three and nine monthsnine-months ended September 30, 2021, our combined recorded statutory net loss was $5,914,000 and $104,684,000, respectively. For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020, our combined recorded statutory net loss was $49,155,000 and $37,452,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our statutory net loss was $25,464,000 and $32,045,000, respectively.

Our insurance subsidiaries must maintain capital and surplus ratios or balances as determined by the regulatory authority of the states in which they are domiciled. At September 30, 2020,2021, we met these requirements. The amount of surplus as regards policyholders for our regulated entities at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 was $370,451,000$285,422,000 and $415,948,000,$370,720,000, respectively.

Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, which vest in equal installments over the requisite service period of typically three years. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest over a one-year period. Each restricted stock unit and performance stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one share of common stock upon vesting.

Performance stock units vest based on the Company's return on average equity compared to a defined group of peer companies. On the grant date, we issue the target number of performance stock units. They are subject to forfeitures if performance goals are not met. The actual number of performance stock units earned can vary from zero to 150 percent of the target for the 2018,2021, 2020, and 2019 and 2020 awards.

We granted 2,551 and 290,577 shares of restricted common stock during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3.76 and $6.02 per share, respectively. We granted 37,318 and 384,572 shares of restricted common stock during the three and nine monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $7.31 and $9.35 per share, respectively. We granted 843 and 133,421 shares of restricted common stock during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $12.82 and $16.26 per share, respectively. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, we granted 45,000 shares of restricted common stock which were contingent upon stockholder approval of our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was approved at our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. Following this approval, the contingent shares were issued and fully vested during the nine month period ended September 30, 2020.

Stock options

Stock option fair value was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. Stock options vest in equal installments over the requisite service period of typically three years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value the stock options granted:
20202021
Expected annual dividend yield1.701.23  %
Expected volatility41.5943.87  %
Risk-free interest rate2.351.81  %
Expected term6 Years

Expected annual dividend yield for all grants, except our options granted in the current quarter, is based on the current quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share and the stock price on the grant date. The expected annual dividend yield of our options granted in the current quarter is based on no dividends being paid in future quarters. The expected volatility is a historical volatility calculated based on the daily closing prices over a period equal to the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. Expected term takes into account the three-year graded vesting term and the 10-year contractual term of the option.

Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview

    United Insurance Holdings Corp. (referred to in this document as we, our, us, the Company or UPC Insurance) is a holding company primarily engaged in personal residential personal and commercial residential property and casualty insurance in the United States. We conduct our business principally through four wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries and one majority-owned insurance subsidiary: United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC); American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC); Family Security Insurance Company, Inc. (FSIC); Interboro Insurance Company (IIC); and Journey Insurance Company (JIC). Collectively, we refer to the holding company and all our subsidiaries, including non-insurance subsidiaries, as “UPC Insurance,” which is the preferred brand identification for our Company.

Our Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from writing insurance in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas. The Company also writes policies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island where renewal rights have been sold and all premiums and losses are ceded. Effective January 1, 2021, we no longer write in the state of Hawaii. We are also licensed to write property and casualty insurance in an additional six states; however, we have not commenced writing in these states. Our target market in such areas consists of states where the perceived threat of natural catastrophe has caused large national insurance carriers to reduce their concentration of policies. We believe an opportunity exists for UPC Insurance to write profitable business in such areas.

Our Company, together with our wholly-owned subsidiaries UPC and UIM, entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement, dated as of January 18, 2021 with HCPCI and HCI Group, Inc. (HCI), pursuant to which our Company, UPC and UIM agreed to sell, and HCPCI agreed to purchase, the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The transfer of policies is subject to regulatory approval. The sale was also consummated on January 18, 2021.

Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap in connection with the renewal rights agreement described above. Under the terms of this agreement, we will cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies is 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap.

As part of the sale of the renewal rights, HCI issued to UPC 100,000 shares of HCI common stock, no par value, which were subject to a six-month contractual lock-up period.

We have historically grown our business through strong organic growth complemented by strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including our acquisitions of AmCo Holding Company, LLC (AmCo) and its subsidiaries, including ACIC, in April 2017, IIC in April 2016, and Family Security Holdings, LLC (FSH), including its subsidiary FSIC, in February 2015, and our strategic partnership with a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Kiln Group Limited, which formed JIC in August 2018. As a result of these transactions, along withunderwriting actions implemented during the organic growthfourth quarter of premium in states in which we currently write premium, we have grown2020 and throughout 2021, our policies in-force decreased by 2.6%18.0% from 625,445 policies in-force at September 30, 2019 to 641,633 policies in-force at September 30, 2020.2020 to 525,969 policies in-force at September 30, 2021.

The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing the consolidated financial position and results of
operations of UPC Insurance. In evaluating our results of operations, we use premiums written and earned, policies in-force and
new and renewal policies by geographic concentration. We also consider the impact of catastrophe losses and prior year
development on our loss ratios, expense ratios and combined ratios. In monitoring our investments, we use credit quality,
investment income, cash flows, realized gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses, asset diversification and portfolio
duration. To evaluate our financial condition, we consider our liquidity, financial strength, ratings, book value per share and
return on equity.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans and restrictions; self-imposed quarantine periods; state and local shelter-in-place orders; business and government shutdowns and social distancing, have caused and continue to cause material disruption to businesses and economies globally. In addition, global equity markets have experienced and continue to experience significant volatility and weakness.

We are committed to maintaining a stable and secure business for our employees, agents, customers and stockholders in our resolve to maintain a stable and secure business.stockholders. During the third quartersecond half of 2020, we were able to resume hiring activities, despite the limits on in-person interviews and on-boarding procedures resulting from COVID-related protocols. In addition, we have converted to virtual sales processes to enable our agents to continue their activities. We believe these activities, collectively, help ensure the health and safety of our employees through adherence to CDC, state and local government work guidelines.

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

We have not experienced a material impact from COVID-19 on our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders to date, with the exception of fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to volatility inof the equity securities markets, as further described in this Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Investments"Operations" of this Form 10-Q. We reduced the size of our equity securities portfolio during the third quarter of 2020, which has reduced the impact of fluctuations in the markets on our financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions did not have a material impact on our access to credit and capital markets needed to maintain sufficient liquidity for our continued operating needs during the third quarter of 2020. A more prolonged economic downturn related to impacts from COVID-19 could result in a variety of future risks to our business as described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q.ended September 30, 2021.

The scope, severity and longevity of any business shutdowns and economic disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, as new information may continue to emerge concerning the actions governments may take to contain or mitigate the spread of the virus or address its impact on individuals, businesses and the economy. We did not incur material claims or significant disruptions to our business for the three and nine monthsnine-months ended September 30, 2020.2021. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the extent of the impact of the economic uncertainties on our financialbusiness, results of operations and financial condition in future periods, due to uncertainty regarding the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and take reasonable measures to make sure customers continue to be served without interruption.

(1) Loss ratio, net is calculated as losses and LAE net of losses ceded to reinsurers, relative to net premiums earned. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our loss trends and believes it is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately from our other operating expenses.
(2) Expense ratio is calculated as the sum of all operating expenses less interest expense relative to net premiums earned. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our expense trends and believes it is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately from our loss expenses.
(3) Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, net and the expense ratio, net. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our total expense trends and believes it is a key indicator for investors when evaluating the overall profitability of our business.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We believe that investors' understanding of ourUPC Insurance's performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, whichthat is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to highlight the trends in our business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidencefrequency of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.

Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure, whichthat is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. We use underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze our loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on our reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on our loss trends in a given period. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.

Net income (loss) excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core income (loss)) is a non-GAAP measure, which is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income and subtracting realized gains (losses) on our investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on our equity securities, net of tax, from net income. Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired through mergers and therefore the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of our operations. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. The core income measure should not be considered a substitute for net
income and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

When we prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the three and nine monthsnine-months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in Note 2 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019;2020; however, we have made no material changes or additions with regard to those policies and estimates, except for those standards adopted in 20202021 as described in Note 2 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - SEPTEMBER 30, 20202021 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 20192020

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, and in conjunction with the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Investments

The primary goals of our investment strategy are to preserve capital, maximize after-tax investment income, maintain liquidity and minimize risk. To accomplish our goals, we purchase debt securities in sectors that represent the most attractive relative value, and we maintain a moderate equity exposure. Limiting equity exposure manages risks and helps to preserve capital for two reasons: first, bond market returns are less volatile than stock market returns, and second, should the bond issuer enter bankruptcy liquidation, bondholders generally have a higher priority than equityholdersequity holders in a bankruptcy proceeding.

We must comply with applicable state insurance regulations that prescribe the type, quality and concentrations of investments our insurance subsidiaries can make; therefore, our current investment policy limits investment in non-investment-grade fixed maturities and limits total investment amounts in preferred stock, common stock and mortgage notes receivable. We do not invest in derivative securities.

Two outside asset management companies, which have authority and discretion to buy and sell securities for us, manage our investments subject to (i) the guidelines established by our Board of Directors and (ii) the direction of management. The Investment Committee of our Board of Directors reviews and approves our investment policy on a regular basis.

Our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investment portfolio totaled $1,477,827,000$1,163,055,000 at September 30, 2020,2021, compared to $1,298,780,000$1,296,549,000 at December 31, 2019.2020.

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
We classify all of our fixed-maturity investments as available-for-sale. Our investments at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted mainly of U.S. government and agencysubdivisions, mortgage-backed securities states, municipalities and political subdivisions and securities of investment-grade corporate issuers. Our equity holdings consisted mainly of securities issued by companies in the energy, consumer products, financial, technology and industrial sectors. Most of the corporate bonds we hold reflected a similar diversification. At September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 85.0%85.8% of our fixed maturities were U.S. Treasuries or corporate bonds rated “A” or better, and 15.0%14.2% were corporate bonds rated “BBB” or "BB".

The most significant impact of COVID-19 on our business during the three and nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2020 was the fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to volatility in the equity securities markets that we were unable to predict. During the three months ended September 30,second half of 2020, we decreased our equity portfolio from 9.1% of our total invested assets (including cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents) at June 30, 2020 to 2.5%0.6% of our total invested assets at September 30,December 31, 2020. As a result of this decrease, we experienced a decreased impact from fluctuations in the equity securities markets on our financial statements forstatements. In the three months ended September 30, 2020. We may continue seeing volatile swingsfirst quarter of 2021, we began to increase our investments in the markets through the remainder of the year if economic stresses persist.equities market. Management is working closely with our investment asset managers to monitor the fluctuations in the markets and the corresponding impact to our portfolios. Future declines in the markets due to COVID-19 may have a negative impact on our investment returns; however, we have taken a conservative approach and have limited our exposure to the volatility in the equity markets to less than 10% of our invested assets.

Reinsurance

We follow the industry practice of reinsuring a portion of our risks. Reinsurance involves transferring, or "ceding", all or a
portion of the risk exposure on policies we write to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that our reinsurers are
unable to meet the obligations they assume under our reinsurance agreements, we remain primarily liable for the entire insured loss under the policies we write.

Our reinsurance program is designed, utilizing our risk management methodology, to address our exposure to catastrophe losses. According to the Insurance Service Office (ISO), a catastrophe loss is defined as a single unpredictable incident or series of closely related incidents that result in $25,000,000 or more in U.S. industry-wide direct insured losses to property and that affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers (ISO catastrophes). In addition to ISO catastrophes, we also include as catastrophes those events (non-ISO catastrophes), which may include losses, that we believe are, or will be, material to our operations which we define as incidents that result in $1,000,000 or more in losses for multiple policyholders.

Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap. Under the terms of this agreement, we will cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies is 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap. As a result, our quota share and excess of loss agreements were modified to exclude policies in these states effective June 1, 2021.

During the second quarter of 2020,2021, we placed our reinsurance program for the 20202021 hurricane season. We purchased catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance protection of approximately $3,300,000,000.$2,900,000,000. The treaties reinsure for personal and commercial lines property excess catastrophe losses caused by multiple perils including hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes. The agreements became effective as of June 1, 2020,2021, for a one-year term, and incorporate the mandatory coverage required by and placed with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF). The FHCF covers Florida risks only and we participate at 90%. Under our core catastrophe excess of loss treaty and excess of loss aggregate treaty, retention on a first and second event is $15,000,000 each and retention on subsequent events totals $1,000,000, resulting in a maximum retention of $31,000,000. Retentions for JIC are $4,000,000 for a first event and $1,000,000 for subsequent events, covering all perils. Retention for IIC is $3,000,000 per occurrence, covering all perils.

Effective JuneJanuary 1, 2021, we renewed our all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement. The agreement provides protection from catastrophe loss events other than named windstorms and earthquakes up to $110,000,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we ceded $91,127,000.

Effective December 31, 2020, we extended our quota share agreement that was set to expire on May 31, 2020, for a one-year term.2021. This quota share reinsurance agreement hashad a cession rate of 22.5%30.5% for all subject business and provides coverage for all catastrophe perils and attritional losses. The agreement provides coverage for our insurance subsidiaries,cession rate is comprised of a quota share cession of 23.0% through May 31, 2022, which covers UPC, FSIC, and ACIC with the remaining 7.5% covering UPC and FSIC. Effective JanuaryFSIC only, which was nonrenewed at June 1, 2020, we renewed the aggregate excess of loss agreement to provide coverage against accumulated losses from specified catastrophe events, for a term of 12 months.2021.


In addition, effective June 1, 2021 our quota share agreements were also modified to exclude policies in New York. This modification was made as the result of our 100% internal quota share agreement, effective June 1 2021, which cedes 100% of UPC's in-force, new, and renewal policies in the state of New York to our subsidiary, IIC.













Effective December 31, 2020, we entered into a property quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI, effective as of December 31, 2020. According to the terms of this reinsurance contract, UPC Insurance ceded and HCPCI assumed a 69.5% quota share of our personal lines homeowners business in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island on an in-force, new and renewal basis for the period from December 31, 2020 through June 1, 2021.

See Note 7 in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our reinsurance program.

Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustments

We generally use the term “loss(es)” to collectively refer to both loss and LAE. We establish reserves for both reported and unreported unpaid losses that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date for amounts we estimate we will be required to pay in the future, including provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date and for obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported at the balance sheet date. Our policy is to establish these loss reserves after considering all information known to us at each reporting period. At any given point in time, our loss reserve represents our best estimate of the ultimate settlement and administration costs of our insured claims incurred and unpaid.

Unpaid losses and LAE totaled $1,082,126,000$1,509,477,000 and $760,357,000$1,089,966,000 as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The balance increased from year end as a result of increased current year incurred catastrophe losses primarily related to a higher frequency of catastrophe activity duringWinter Storm Uri and Hurricane Ida. This change, along with the third quarter of 2020. This increase alsoprior year adverse development resulting from increased litigation related claims being filed in Florida, resulted in an increase in our reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses balance at September 30, 20202021 compared to December 31, 2019.2020.

Since the process of estimating loss reserves requires significant judgment due to a number of variables, such as fluctuations in inflation, judicial decisions, legislative changes and changes in claims handling procedures, our ultimate liability will likely differ from these estimates. We revise our reserve for unpaid losses as additional information becomes available, and reflect adjustments, if any, in our earnings in the periods in which we determine the adjustments as necessary.

See Note 8 in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our losses and loss adjustments.

The increasechange in net lossearnings was primarily due to an increasedriven by a decrease in loss and LAE from escalated catastrophe activityexpense during the third quarter of 2020. We also experienced a decrease in unrealized gain on equity securities during the third quarter of 20202021 compared to the third quarter of 2019. We sold equity securities that were in an unrealized gain position during2020. This change was driven by our decision to lower the retention related to our Core Catastrophe reinsurance program for the 2021-2022 hurricane season coupled with a lower frequency of catastrophic weather activity when compared to the third quarter of 2020, which resulted2020. This was partially offset by a decrease in realized gainsrevenue, driven by increased ceded premium earned as a result of $24,305,000, and therefore reduced the unrealized gain balance at quarter end.changes to our quota share reinsurance agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 20202021 AND 20192020

Net losslosses attributable to UIHC for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $40,807,000,2021 decreased $6,918,000, or 187.9%11.1%, to $62,521,000a net loss of $55,603,000 from $21,714,000$62,521,000 for the same period in 2019.2020. The increasechange in earnings was primarily due to an increasedriven by a decrease in loss and LAE dueexperienced during the nine months ended September 2021, which was driven by our decision to lower the retention related to our Core Catastrophe reinsurance program for the 2021-2022 hurricane season coupled with a higherlower frequency of catastrophecatastrophic activity forwhen compared to the 2020 and an increase in ceded losses to our quota share reinsurance program. This was partially offset by decreased revenue driven by an increase in ceded premiums earned as a result of changes made to our reinsurance structure at December 31, 2020 and June 1, 2021. Details of these changes are disclosed in Part I, "Reinsurance" above. Additionally, we experienced a decrease in gross written premiums during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020 as described below.

This decrease is driven by the increase in the allocation of claims adjuster payroll related costs to loss and LAE from general and administrative expenses in 2021. In addition, during 2020, we incurred expenses totaling $2,763,000 related to the discontinuation of plans to build new headquarters, an expense which did not recur in 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generate cash through premium collections, reinsurance recoveries, investment income, the sale or maturity of invested assets, the issuanceincurrence of debt and the issuance of additional shares of our stock. We use our cash to pay reinsurance premiums, claims and related costs, policy acquisition costs, salaries and employee benefits, other expenses and stockholder dividends, acquire subsidiaries and pay associated costs, as well as to repay debts, repurchase stock and purchase investments.

As a holding company, we do not conduct any business operations of our own and, as a result, we rely on cash dividends or intercompany loans from our management subsidiaries to pay our general and administrative expenses. Insurance regulatory authorities heavily regulate our insurance subsidiaries, including restricting any dividends paid by our insurance subsidiaries and requiring approval of any management fees our insurance subsidiaries pay to our management subsidiaries for services rendered; however, nothing restricts our non-insurance company subsidiaries from paying us dividends other than state corporate laws regarding solvency. Our management subsidiaries pay us dividends primarily using cash from the collection of management fees from our insurance subsidiaries, pursuant to the management agreements in effect between those entities. In accordance with state laws, our insurance subsidiaries may pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of their statutory surplus derived from their net operating profit and their net realized capital gains. The Risk-Based Capital (RBC) guidelines published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners may further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause their respective surplus as it regards policyholders to fall below minimum RBC guidelines. See Note 1112 in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made capital contributions of $7,000,000 and $2,000,000 to our insurance subsidiaries, UPC and FSIC, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, IIC paid a dividend of $3,500,000 to the Company. In addition, the Company made capital contributions of $5,500,000, $7,000,000 and $10,000,000 to our insurance subsidiaries, FSIC, UPC and ACIC, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we did not make any capital contributions to any of our subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Companywe made capital contributions of $12,000,000 and $3,000,000 to our insurance subsidiary, UPC, and reinsurance subsidiary, UPC Re, respectively. IIC paid a dividend of $12,000,000 to the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2019, we made a $12,000,000 capital contribution to our insurance subsidiary FSIC and received a dividend of $13,579,000 from our insurance subsidiary ACIC. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we made capital contributions of $4,000,000 and $13,000,000 to our insurance subsidiaries UPC and FSIC, respectively. In addition, we refunded a dividend of $1,764,000 to our insurance subsidiary IIC, which was originally paid to UIHC in December 2018. We may make future contributions of capital to our insurance subsidiaries as circumstances require.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have caused significant volatility in financial markets. However, during the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2020,2021, the disruptions did not have an impact on our access to credit and capital markets needed to maintain sufficient liquidity for our continued operating needs. We expect to continue to maintain financing flexibility in the current market conditions. However, due to the rapidly evolving national and global situation, it is not possible to predict whether unanticipated consequences of the pandemic are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future.

Operating Activities

The principal cash inflows from our operating activities come from premium collections, reinsurance recoveries and investment income. The principal cash outflows from our operating activities are the result of claims and related costs, reinsurance premiums, policy acquisition costs and salaries and employee benefits. A primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is the risk of large magnitude catastrophe events.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we had cash inflowsoutflows of $164,592,000$109,573,000 compared to cash inflows of $228,121,000$164,592,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During 2020, we had more2020. This change can be attributed primarily to the increase in our reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses balance at September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020. This increase can be attributed primarily to our current year catastrophe losses, driven by Winter Storm Uri which occured in the first quarter of 2021 and Hurricane Ida which made landfall in August 2021. In addition, changes to our quota share agreements, disclosed in Part I, "Reinsurance" above, increased our reinsurance recoverables outstanding than in 2019. The higher recoverable balance in 2020 is attributable to a higher frequencyas our cession percentage and covered premium increased for the first five months of catastrophe activity in 2020 (ten named or numbered storms made landfall2021. In addition, during the year, sevennine months ended September 30, 2021, in connection with our renewal rights agreement for all Northeast business excluding New York, HCI issued 100,000 shares of which were incommon stock to UPC. The fair value of the third quarter) as well as prior year catastrophe loss development.HCI common stock at the date of issuance was $5,007,000.

Investing Activities

The principal cash inflows from our investing activities come from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities and sales of investments. We closely monitor and manage these risks through our comprehensive investment risk management process. The principal cash outflows relate to purchasessales of investments and cost of property, equipment and capitalized software acquired.investments. The primary liquidity concerns with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors and market disruption. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we had net salespurchases of investments totaling $59,593,000$41,842,000 compared to $41,833,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our net cash outflows associated with the purchase and disposalpurchases of property, equipment and capitalized software also decreased from $16,437,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $6,549,000investments totaling $59,593,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Financing Activities

The principal cash outflows from our financing activities come from repayments of debt and payments of dividends. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is market disruption in the cost and availability of credit. We believe our current capital resources, together with cash provided from our operations, are sufficient to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, cash used in financing activities remained consistent totaling $8,959,000decreased $67,000 to $8,892,000 compared to $8,559,000$8,959,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This2020. The outflow for both periods was primarily due to our dividend payments made in each quarter. The decrease year over year can be attributed to the first three quarterstiming of both 2020 and 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, including interest rate risk related to changes in interest rates in our fixed-maturity securities, credit risk related to changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturities and equity price risk related to changes in equity security prices. These risks are disclosed in Part II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the following discussion serves as an update to such disclosure2020. We had no material changes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K formarket risk during the yearnine-months ended December 31, 2019.September 30, 2021.

As described further below, we had material changes to our equity price risk due to a material disposal of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we decreased our equity portfolio from 9.1% of our total invested assets at June 30, 2020 to 2.5% of our total invested assets at September 30, 2020. We realized gains of $24,305,000 as a result of these disposals. We disposed of such equity securities in order to mitigate potential surplus declines from market volatility for each of our insurance subsidiaries.

EQUITY PRICE RISK

Our equity investment portfolio at September 30, 2020 consisted of common stocks, mutual funds and non-redeemable preferred stocks. We may incur potential losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage this risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation techniques.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. We designed our disclosure controls with the objective of ensuring we accumulate and communicate this information to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Emphasis has been on the maintenance of effective internal controls and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key control activities through the development and deployment of our employees and communities in response to COVID-19, this shift to remote work environments has not impacted our ability to ensure that our controls operate effectively. We did not make anynew ERP system. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in routine claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We accrue amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period that we determine an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and we can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to our estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that we receive regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in the awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation.

At September 30, 2020,2021, we were not involved in any material non-claims-related legal actions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than as described in the additional risk factor below, thereThere have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I. Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related business disruption and economic uncertainty could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
44

In recent months, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread to many countries in the world, including the United States, and the outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020.

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the COVID-19 virus and its potential impact, and the extent of and effectiveness of responses taken on international, national and local levels. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend, in large part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence such as:

the duration and severity of the spread;
the extent and duration of business closures, travel restrictions, social distancing and other actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19; and
the effectiveness of actions taken by governmental authorities to contain and treat the virus.
46

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

However, measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, have already resulted in significant negative economic impacts on the United States and globally. The pandemic has resulted and continues to result in extreme volatility and disruptions in the economy. While we have not incurred any significant disruptions to our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders as of the date of this Form 10-Q, with the exception of fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to the volatility in the equity securities markets, the continued impacts of COVID-19 (including a severe or prolonged economic downturn due to impacts from COVID-19) could result in a variety of risks to our business, including:

an increase in the default of insurance premiums coinciding with an increase in unemployment rates and customers' inability to pay premiums;
our ability to meet regulatory and debt service requirements;
a decline in premiums as a result of limited new business production, weaker renewal retention rates, higher mid-term cancellations, more stringent regulatory requirements or a rating agency downgrade that would impact both agency and consumer confidence;
travel restrictions and quarantines leading to a lack of in-person meetings, which could hinder the efficiency of our internal operations and our ability to establish relationships with agents to generate new business;
contraction of the global reinsurance markets resulting from uncertainties related to current and future COVID-19 claims on underlying risks;
higher frequency and/or severity of claims from certain perils such as theft, fire and liability, as well as fraudulent insurance loss schemes and litigation attempting to force coverage;
changes in the equity markets, changes in interest rates, and reduced liquidity leading to a decline in the value of our investment portfolio;
a recession or market correction could materially affect the value of our common stock; and
our third-party vendors experiencing shutdowns or other business disruptions which impact our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned.

In response to the measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19 described above, and for the protection of our employees and communities, in March 2020 we shifted operations for all employees to remote work environments. This shift in operations to remote work environments could prevent us from executing initiatives effectively, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  An extended period of remote work arrangements could introduce operational risk (including but not limited to cybersecurity risks) and may impair our ability to manage our business. We also outsource certain business activities to third parties. If one or more of the third parties to whom we outsource certain business activities experience operational failures or business disruptions as a result of the impacts from the spread of COVID-19, or claim that they cannot perform, it may have negative effects on our business and financial condition.

We are currently following the recommendations of local and federal health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our various stakeholders, including employees, and management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry and workforce. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, as described in greater detail above.

To the extent that COVID-19 adversely affects our business, results of operations or financial condition, it may also have the effect of amplifying many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
