Notes to the Condensed Consolidated and Condensed Combined Financial Statements
Note 1. Business and Basis of Presentation
In July 2020, Trean Insurance Group, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the "Company") completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock. Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company effected the following reorganization transactions: (i) each of Trean Holdings LLC ("Trean"), an insurance services company, and BIC Holdings LLC ("BIC"), a property and casualty insurance holding company, contributed all of their respective assets and liabilities to Trean Insurance Group, Inc., a newly formed direct subsidiary of BIC, in exchange for shares of common stock in Trean Insurance Group, Inc. and (ii) upon the completion of the transfers by Trean and BIC, Trean and BIC were dissolved and distributed in-kind common shares to the pre-IPO unitholders.
For the purpose of financial statement disclosures, references to the condensed consolidated financial statements for all post-IPO periods include the accounts of Trean Insurance Group, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. References to the condensed consolidated financial statements for all pre-IPO periods include the condensed combined financial statements of BIC and Trean, along with their wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. All dollar amounts are shown in thousands, except share and per share amounts.
The Company provides products and services to the specialty insurance market. Historically, the Company has focused on specialty casualty markets that are believed to be under-served and where the Company’s expertise allows the Company to achieve higher rates, such as niche workers' compensation markets and small- to medium-sized specialty casualty insurance programs. The Company underwrites specialty-casualty insurance products both through programs where the Company partners with other organizations ("Program Partners"), and also through the Company’s ownCompany owned managing general agencies ("Owned MGAs"). The Company also provides Program Partners with a variety of services, including issuing carrier services, claims administration, and reinsurance brokerage from which the Company generates fee-based revenues.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries include (a)include: (i) Benchmark Holding Company, a property and casualty insurance holding company, which owns Benchmark Insurance Company ("Benchmark"), a property and casualty insurance company domiciled in the state of Kansas, American Liberty Insurance Company ("ALIC"), a property and casualty insurance company domiciled in the state of Utah, and 7710 Insurance Company ("7710"), a property and casualty insurance company domiciled in the state of South Carolina; (b)Carolina and Benchmark Specialty Insurance Company ("BSIC"), a property and casualty insurance company domiciled in the state of Arkansas; (ii) Trean Compstar Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company created originally for the purchase of Compstar Insurance Services LLC, a California-based general agency; and (c)(iii) Trean Corporation ("Trean Corp"), a reinsurance intermediary manager and a managing general agent, which consists of the following wholly owned subsidiaries: (a) Trean Reinsurance Services, LLC ("TRS"), a reinsurance intermediary broker; Benchmark Administrators LLC (BIC Admin"), a claims third-party administrator; (b) Western Integrated Care, LLC ("WIC"), a managed care organization; and (c) Westcap Insurance Services, LLC ("Westcap"), a managing general agent based in California.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (the "2020"2021 Form 10-K"). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company determined that its funds held agreements with reinsurers contain embedded derivatives relating to a total return swap on the underlying investments. As a result, the Company will nowhas revised the presentation of its financial results to report the change in fair value of the embedded derivatives in gains (losses) on embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations. In addition, investment earnings credited to the funds withheld accounts will beare reported in gains (losses) on embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations, whereas previously these were reported as an offset to net investment income. While the prior period amounts have been corrected for comparability, the correction was not material to the previously reported condensed consolidated and condensed combined financial statements. The impact of the prior period corrections on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related components of stockholders' equity is as follows:

Use of estimates
While preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require extensive use of estimates include the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE"), reinsurance recoveries,recoverables, investments, and goodwill, and other intangible assets. Except for the captions on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, generally, the term loss(es) is used to collectively refer to both losslosses and LAE.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments include assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into a three level hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: Fair values primarily based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Fair values primarily based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, or based on prices for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3: Fair values primarily based on valuations derived when one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. With little or no observable market, the determination of fair value uses considerable judgment and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability.
The Company classifies the financial asset or liability by level based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. The following tables present the estimated fair value of the Company’s significant financial instruments.

Note 5. Equity Method Investments
The Company had investments in Compstar and Trean Intermediaries ("TRI"). Equity earnings and losses are reported in equity earnings in affiliates, net of tax on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On July 15, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining 55% ownership interest in Compstar (See Note 2) and, as a result, Compstar is no longer recorded as an equity method investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded earnings of $1,230 and $1,932, respectively, and received distributions of $1,024 and $2,302, respectively.
On January 3, 2020, the Company sold 15% of its previous 25% ownership in TRI for cash proceeds of $3,000, resulting in a remaining ownership interest of 10%. As a result of its significant ownership reduction and its lack of significant influence over the operations and policies of TRI, the Company reclassified its TRI investment, at fair value, to investments in common stock in the first quarter of 2020. The Company realized a gain on the sale of $3,115, which iswas included in net realized capital gains (losses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 15. Stock Compensation
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company has one incentive plan, the Trean Insurance Group, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (the "2020 Omnibus Plan"). The purposes of the 2020 Omnibus Plan are to provide additional incentive to selected officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors, and consultants of the Company whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the business of the Company and its affiliates, to strengthen the commitment and motivate such individuals to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and to attract competent and dedicated individuals whose efforts will result in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company and its affiliates. The 2020 Omnibus Plan is administered by the Compensation, Nominating, and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company's board of directors and provides for the issuance of up to 5,058,085 shares of the Company's common stock granted in the
form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonuses, other stock awards, or any combination of the foregoing.
Stock Options
Compensation expense is recognized for all stock compensation arrangements by the Company. Stock compensation expense related to stock option awards was $34$51 and $69$35 for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Employee stock option awards granted set forth, among other things, the option exercise price, the option term, provisions regarding option exercisability, and whether the option is intended to be an incentive stock option ("ISO") or a nonqualified stock option.option ("NQ"). Stock options may be granted to employees at such exercise prices as the Company’s board of directors may determine but not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant. Employee options vest one third annually over a period of three years and have contractual terms of 10 years from the date of grant.
The fair value of each time-based vesting option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The Company’s expected volatility for the period iswas based on a weighted average expected volatility of an industry peer group of insurance companies of similar size, life cycle, and lines of business. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method taking into consideration the option's contractual life and vesting terms. The Company’s stock option grants qualify as plain vanilla options and as such the Company uses the
simplified method in estimating its expected option term as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its common shares have been publicly traded. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yields were not used in the fair value computations as the Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain earnings for use in operations.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $5.49.$2.30 and $5.49, respectively. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $472$449 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.31.2 years.
Restricted Stock Units
Compensation expense relating to restricted stock unit grants was $385$105 and $561$176 for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there was $4,088$3,387 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock unit grants, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average life of 2.62.1 years. The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $136.$77.
The Company has granted time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), and market-based stock units ("MSUs") to certain key employees as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The estimated fair value of restricted stock units is based on the grant date closing price of the Company's common stock for time-based and performance-based vesting awards. A Monte Carlo valuation model is used to estimate the fair value for market-based vesting awards. RSUs generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date and are
amortized as compensation expense over the three-year vesting period. The Company has also granted time-based restricted stock units to non-employee directors as part of the Company's annual director compensation program. Each time-based restricted stock grant to non-employee directors vests on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant. The grants are amortized as director compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense on PSUs ratably over the requisite performance period of the award and to the extent management views the performance goal attainment as probable. The Company recognizes compensation expense on MSUs ratably over the requisite performance period of the award.
For the 2022 and 2021 fiscal year, the Company granted PSUs to certain key employees pursuant to the Company's 2020 Omnibus Plan. The number of shares earned is based on the Company’s achievement of pre-established target threshold goals for total gross written premiums over a three-year performance measurement period. The performance goals allow for a payout ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award. If performance satisfies minimum requirements to result in shares of Company common stock being awarded, the number of shares will be determined between 50% and 200% of target thresholds, as defined in the applicable award agreements. Any earned PSU will vest if the employee’s service has been continuous through the vesting date. Any PSU not earned because of failure to achieve the minimum performance goal at the end of the performance period will be immediately forfeited. The grant date fair value of the PSUs was determined based on the grant date closing price of the Company’s stock.
For the 2022 and 2021 fiscal year, the Company granted MSUs to certain key employees pursuant to the Company's 2020 Omnibus Plan. The number of restricted stock units earned is based on the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return ("TSR"), as defined in the applicable award agreement, over a three-year performance measurement period. If TSR satisfies minimum requirements to result in shares being awarded, the number of shares will be determined between 50% and 200% shown in the table below. Any MSU not earned because of failure to achieve the minimum performance goal at the end of the performance period will be immediately forfeited. Grant date fair values were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the following assumptions:

In addition, investment earnings credited to the funds withheld accounts will be reported in gains (losses) on embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations, whereas previously these were reported as an offset to net investment income. While the prior period amounts have been corrected for comparability, the correction was not material to the previously reported condensed consolidated and condensed combined financial statements.
Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Impact
We are monitoring the impact of the ongoing continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, including how it may impact our premium revenue, loss experience and loss expense, liquidity, and our regulatory capital and surplus, and operations.
Workforce Operations
Following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, we took a number of actions to protect the health of the public and our employees and to comply with directives and advice of governmental authorities and public health experts. We responded by developing a Preparedness Plan that outlined both corporate-wide and location-specific modifications to working conditions and operations in our offices. This multi-faceted plan included elements such as restricting business travel and transitioning from an office-based company to primarily a remote working culture. As most of our employees already had secure remote working connections, we took additional measures to ensure all employees who wanted or needed to work remotely were able to do so securely with limited connectivity disruption. We also provided our employees education and training with respect to cybersecurity issues that may arise relating to COVID-19 and working remotely in conjunction with the goal of serving the operational needs of a remote workforce and continuing to serve our customers. We implemented safeguards for employees who play critical roles to ensure operational reliability and established protocols for employees who interact directly with the public. As state, city, and county guidelines progress, we have implemented new health and safety in-office procedures and have launched our "Return to Office" plan to transition our workforce back to working in our officeswhere necessary while continuing to monitor the progression of new COVID-19 variants and related developments that could impact us in the COVID-19 Delta Variant.future.
Premium Revenue, Claims and Losses
We have not experienced a material impact to our premium revenue in the first six months of 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Less than 20.0% of our business falls under hospitality, healthcare, and education, where the majority of layoffs in response to the pandemic have occurred so far. During the quarterthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020, gross written premiums increased 42.8%, primarily driven by growth in our existing Program Partner business as well as the addition of new Program Partners, and gross earned premiums increased 38.1%, primarily driven by the increase in gross written premiums. During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, gross written premiums increased by 39.5%10.0% and gross earned premiums increased by 32.9%23.6%, primarily driven by both significant growth in our existing Program Partner business as well as the addition of new Program Partners.business. Because a majority of our gross written premiums are related to workers’ compensation insurance, we expect that future revenue trends could be impacted by higher unemployment rates as businesses slowly restartin future periods if the COVID-19 pandemic were to continue or if unemployment levels continue to trend high over the balance of 2021 and possibly beyond.significantly get worse. However, a significant portion of our workers’ compensation premiums are pay-as-you-go programs, which reduces our downside risk from future premium audits or refunds.
We also have not experienced a material impact in our reported claims or incurred losses in the first sixthree months of 20212022 as a specific result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Losses and LAE increased $17,542, or 144.0%, to $29,725 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $12,183 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. On a year-to-date basis, loss and LAE increased $29,489, or 117.4%, to $54,606 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $25,117 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, with the increase primarily attributable to the growth in earned premiums during the period. In addition, our loss ratio increased to 62.0% and 61.3%, respectively, during the three and six months ending June 30, 2021 from 57.0% and 57.3%, respectively, for the comparable 2020 periods, attributable primarily to losses incurred on our workers' compensation line of business as well as property losses incurred during the first quarter.
Investment Portfolio
With respect to our investment portfolio, we seek to hold a high-quality, diversified portfolio of investments, which are primarily in fixed maturity and available-for-sale investments and as such, our investment portfolio has limited exposure to the recent equity market volatility. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we experienced a slight decrease of $6,251, or 1.5%,$23,804 in the fair value of our fixed maturities investment portfolio due to a reduction in unrealized gains on the value of our fixed maturity investments. portfolio. The decline in the fair value of our fixed maturity investments is primarily attributable to risingthe recent rise in interest rates following 2020 COVID-19 driven primarily by changing conditions in the financial markets as compared to the comparatively lower rates as opposed tothat prevailed during the initial part of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, rather than underlying credit risk within our investment portfolio. If there were to be continued debt market volatility, which in turn could create mark-to-market investment valuation decreases, we expect there could be additional or increased unrealized losses recorded or realized losses, if sold, in future reporting periods. In addition, if there were to be continued equity and debt financial market volatility, which in turn could create mark-to-market investment valuation decreases, we expect there could be additional or increased unrealized losses on equity investments held, which are recorded during the balance of the year.through net investment income, in future reporting periods. However, given the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we expect that any adverse impact on the value of our investment portfolio, as it relates to COVID-19, will be temporary, and we do not expect a long-term negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Concerns
Adverse events such as adverse changes in the overall public health environment, resulting from changing infection patterns and other factors, variant strainsnew variants of COVID-19, health-related concerns about working in our offices, ongoing restrictions on travel, the potential impact on our business partners and customers, and other matters affecting theour general work and business environment could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy. We cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business in the future.
Significant Components of Results of Operations
Gross written premiums: Gross written premiums are the amounts received or to be received for insurance policies written or assumed by us during a specific period of time without reduction for general and administrative expenses (including policy acquisition costs), reinsurance costs or other deductions. The volume of our gross written premiums in any given period is generally influenced by:
•addition and retention of Program Partners;
•new business submissions to our Program Partners;
•binding of new business submissions into policies;
•renewals of existing policies; and
•average size and premium rate of bound policies.
Gross earned premiums: Gross earned premiums are the earned portion of gross written premiums. We earn insurance premiums on a pro rata basis over the term of the policy. Our insurance policies generally have a term of one year.
Ceded earned premiums: Ceded earned premiums are the amount of gross earned premiums ceded to reinsurers. We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our maximum losses and diversify our exposure and provide statutory surplus relief. The volume of our ceded earned premiums is affected by the level of our gross earned premiums and any decision we make to increase or decrease limits, retention levels, and co-participations.
Net earned premiums: Net earned premiums represent the earned portion of our gross written premiums, less that portion of our gross written premiums that is earned and ceded to third-party reinsurers, including our Program Partners and professional reinsurers, under our reinsurance agreements.
Net investment income: We earn investment income on our portfolio of cash and invested assets. Our cash and invested assets are primarily comprised of fixed maturities, including other investmentsequity securities, and short-term investments. Our net investment income includes interest income on our invested assets, income on funds held investments as well as unrealized gains and losses on our equity portfolio.
Net realized capital gains/losses: Net realized capital gains/losses are a function of the difference between the amount received by us on the sale of a security and the security’s recorded value as well as any "other-than-temporary impairments" relating to fixed maturity investments recognized in earnings.
Other revenue: Other revenue includes brokerage, third-party administrative, management, and consulting, and other fee-based revenues, which are commonly based on written premiums.
Loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE): Losses and LAE are net of reinsurance and include claims paid, estimates of future claim payments, changes in those estimates from prior reporting periods and costs associated with investigating, defending, and servicing claims. In general, our losses and LAE are affected by:
•frequency of claims associated with the particular types of insurance contacts that we write;
•trends in the average size of losses incurred on a particular type of business;
•mix of business written by us;
•changes in the legal or regulatory environment related to the business we write;
•trends in legal defense costs;
•wage inflation; and
•inflation in medical costscosts.
Losses and LAE are based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods. Losses and LAE may be paid out over a period of years.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses include net commissions, insurance-related expenses, and general and administrative operating expenses. Net commissions consist of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses.expenses, net of ceding commissions. Policy acquisition costs are principally comprised of the commissions we pay our brokers and program managers, net of ceding commissions we receive on business ceded under our reinsurance contracts.managers. Policy acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition or reinsurance of those policies are deferred. The amortization of suchAll policy acquisition costs isare charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the policy life. Other generalWe receive ceding commissions on business ceded under our reinsurance contracts. Insurance-
related expenses largely consist of state premium taxes. General and administrative operating expenses primarily include employee salaries and benefits, corporate business insurance costs, technology costs, office rent, and professional services fees such as legal, accounting, audit, tax, and actuarial services.
Intangible asset amortization: Intangible asset amortization consists of expenses incurred related to the amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of business acquisitions and consists of trade names, customer lists and relationships, and non-compete agreements.
Noncash stock compensation: Noncash stock compensation includes expenses related to the fair value and issuance of restricted stock units (time, market and performance-based) and stock options.
Gains (losses) on embedded derivatives: Gains (losses) on embedded derivatives consistsconsist of the change in fair value of derivatives, the effect of net investment income on funds held investments, and the effect of realized and unrealized gains and lossesloss on investmentsfunds held under reinsurance agreements.investments.
Interest expense: Interest expense consists primarily of interest paid on (i) our term loan facility and (ii) the preferred capital securities issued by the Trust (See "Financial Condition, Liquidity and capital resources — Debt and Credit Agreements").
Other income: Other income consists primarily of sublease revenue and other miscellaneous income items.
Equity earnings in affiliates, net of tax: Equity earnings in affiliates, net of tax includes the Company's share of earnings from equity method investments.
Key Metrics
We discuss certain key financial and operating metrics, described below, which provide useful information about our business and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.
Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income before taxes excluding net investment income, investment revaluation gains, net realized capital gains or losses, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, gains and losses on embedded derivatives, interest expense, other revenue, and other income and
expenses. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of underwriting income to income before taxes in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income excluding the impact of certain items, including the consummation of the reorganization transactions in connection with our IPO, noncash intangible asset amortization and stock compensation, noncash unrealized gains and losses onchanges in the fair value of embedded derivatives, other expenses and gains or losses that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance, which items may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting comparability of our results across periods. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income in accordance with GAAP.
Loss ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of losses and LAE to net earned premiums.
Expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of general and administrative expenses to net earned premiums.
Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss.
Return on equity is net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period.
Adjusted return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted return on equity to return on equity in accordance with GAAP.
Tangible stockholders' equity is defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.
Return on tangible equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending tangible stockholders' equity during the period. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of return on tangible equity to return on equity in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted return on tangible equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending tangible stockholders' equity during the period. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted return on tangible equity to return on tangible equity in accordance with GAAP.

Gross written premiums: Gross written premiums increased $46,939, or 42.8%, to $156,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $109,612 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to the growth in our existing Program Partner business, the addition of new Program Partners added since the second quarter of 2020 and the acquisition of 7710 Insurance Company in the fourth quarter of 2020. The changes in gross written premiums were most notably due to the following lines of business:
Workers' compensation represented 60.0% of our gross written premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 75.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross written premiums for workers' compensation increased by $10,815, or 13.0%, compared to the same period in 2020.
All other non-workers' compensation liability, which primarily includes commercial auto, homeowners, other liability and accident & health lines of business, represented 40.0% of our gross written premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 24.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross written premiums for all other non-workers' compensation liability increased $36,124, or 136.6%, compared to the same period in 2020.
Gross earned premiums: Gross earned premiums increased $38,277, or 38.1%, to $138,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $100,347 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is a result of the increase in gross written premiums, offset by the increase in gross unearned premiums of $8,662, driven by the overall growth in premiums, which are largely unearned as of June 30, 2021. Gross earned premiums as a percentage of gross written premiums decreased to 88.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 91.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Ceded earned premiums: Ceded earned premiums increased $11,713, or 14.8%, to $90,681 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $78,968 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in ceded earned premiums is primarily due to the addition of new Program Partners since the second quarter of 2020 whose premiums are largely ceded. The total ceded earned premiums as a percentage of gross earned premiums decreased to 65.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 78.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by the Company's retention of a larger portion of gross written premiums.
Net earned premiums: Net earned premiums increased $26,564, or 124.3%, to $47,943 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $21,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the increase in gross written and earned premiums described above, offset by the increase in ceded earned premiums over the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross written premiums: Gross written premiums increased $14,673, or 10.0%, to $161,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $146,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the growth in our existing Program Partner business and the changes in gross written premiums were due to the following:
Workers' compensation represented 61.1% of our gross written premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 67.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, gross written premiums for workers' compensation decreased by $593, or 0.6%, compared to the same period in 2021. The moderation in growth and shift in mix reflects our ongoing effort to diversify our lines of business and a strategic decrease in our California worker's compensation business that resulted from the Company's measures undertaken to exit certain unfavorable risks in 2021.
All other non-workers' compensation liability represented 38.9% of our gross written premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 32.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, gross written premiums for all other non-workers' compensation liability increased $15,266, or 32.1%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is due primarily to growth in our accident & health, commercial auto and commercial lines, a result of continued line of business diversification.
Gross earned premiums: Gross earned premiums increased $30,240, or 23.6%, to $158,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $128,299 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in gross earned premiums reflects the increase in gross written premiums of $14,673 net of a reduction in gross unearned premiums of $15,567. Gross
earned premiums as a percentage of gross written premiums increased to 98.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 87.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Ceded earned premiums: Ceded earned premiums increased $7,197, or 8.3%, to $94,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $87,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in ceded earned premiums is driven by the growth in gross earned premiums as described above, partially offset by an increase in our retention. Ceded earned premiums as a percentage of gross earned premiums decreased to 59.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 67.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting the Company's strategic decision to retain more gross written premiums.
Net earned premiums: Net earned premiums increased $23,043, or 56.0%, to $64,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $41,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is due to the growth in gross earned premiums as described above and the Company's strategic decision to retain more gross written premiums.
Net investment income: Net investment income decreased $422,increased $304, or 16.7%13.4%, to $2,103$2,576 for the three months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to $2,525$2,272 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The decrease is due primarily to a reductionincrease reflects the reinvestment of funds from lower yielding maturities, pay downs and redemptions into higher yielding investments and an increase in income from funds held investments.our average invested balance. During the first quarter of 2022, we purchased $33,288 higher-yielding equity securities, which we believe will improve the yield on our portfolio.

The increase in ceded earned premiums is primarily due to the addition of new Program Partners since the second quarter of 2020 whose premiums are largely ceded. The total ceded earned premiums as a percentage of gross earned premiums decreased to 66.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 78.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by the Company's retention of a larger portion of gross written premiums.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underwriting income
We define underwriting income as income before taxes excluding net investment income, investment revaluation gains, net realized capital gains or losses, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, gains and losses onnon-cash changes in fair value of embedded derivatives, interest expense, other revenue, and other income and expenses. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to investment income, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, interest expense, other revenue, and other income and expenses. We use this metric because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underwriting business performance by adjusting for these expenses and sources of income. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Adjusted net income
We define adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of certain items, including the consummation of the reorganization transactions in connection with our IPO, noncash intangible asset amortization and stock compensation, noncash unrealized gains and losses onchanges in fair value of embedded derivatives, other expenses and gains or losses that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance, which items may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting comparability of our results across periods. We calculate the tax impact only on adjustments that would be included in calculating our income tax expense using the effective tax rate at the end of each period. We use adjusted net income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance by eliminating the effects of these items. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

Adjusted return on equity
We define adjusted return on equity as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period. We use adjusted return on equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance by adjusting for items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance and that may diminish comparability across periods. Adjusted return on equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on equity differently.

Return on tangible equity and adjusted return on tangible equity
We define tangible stockholders' equity as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. We define return on tangible equity as net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending tangible stockholders' equity during the period. We define adjusted return on tangible equity as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending tangible stockholders' equity during the period. We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities and have historically made acquisitions that affect stockholders' equity. We use return on tangible equity and adjusted return on tangible equity as internal performance measures in the management of our operations because we believe they give our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance by adjusting for the effects of acquisitions on our stockholders' equity and, in the case of adjusted return on tangible equity, by adjusting for the items that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance and that may diminish comparability across periods. Return on tangible equity and adjusted return on tangible equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on equity or return on tangible equity, respectively, calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define return on tangible equity and adjusted return on tangible equity differently.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
We are organized as a holding company with our operations conducted through our subsidiaries, including our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries: Benchmark, which is domiciled in Kansas and commercially domiciled in California; ALIC, which is domiciled in Utah; and 7710, Insurance Company, which is domiciled in South Carolina.Carolina; and BSIC, which is domiciled in Arkansas. Accordingly, the holding company may receive cash through: (i) loans from banks, (ii) draws on a revolving loan agreement, (iii) issuance of equity and debt securities, (iv) corporate service fees from our operating subsidiaries, (v) payments from our subsidiaries pursuant to our consolidated tax allocation agreement and other transactions and (vi) dividends from our non-insurance subsidiaries and, subject to certain limitations discussed below, dividends from our insurance subsidiaries. We also may use the proceeds from these sources to contribute funds to the insurance subsidiaries in order to support premium growth, reduce our reliance on reinsurance, pay taxes, and for other general business purposes.
State insurance laws restrict the ability of insurance companies to declare stockholder dividends without prior regulatory approval. State insurance regulators require insurance companies to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and surplus.
Under Kansas and California law, dividends payable from Benchmark without the prior approval of the applicable insurance commissioner must not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of Benchmark's surplus as shown on the last statutory financial statement on file with the Kansas Insurance Department and the California Department of Insurance, respectively,respectively; or (ii) 100% of net income during the applicable twelve-month period (not including realized capital gains). Dividends shall not include pro rata distributions of any class of Benchmark's own securities.
Under Utah law, dividends payable from ALIC without the prior approval of the applicable insurance commissioner must not exceed the lesser ofof: (i) 10% of ALIC's surplus as shown on the last statutory financial statement on file with the Utah Insurance Department or (ii) 100% of net income during the applicable twelve- month period (not including realized capital gains). Dividends shall not include pro rata distributions of any class of ALIC's own securities.
Under South Carolina law, dividends payable from 7710 Insurance Company without the prior approval of the applicable insurance commissioner are limited to the following during the preceding twelve months: (a) when paid from other than earned surplus must not exceed the lesser of: (i) 10% of 7710 Insurance Company's7710's surplus as regards policyholders as shown in 7710's most recent annual statement; or (ii) the net income, not including net realized gains or losses as shown in 7710's most recent annual statement; or (b) when paid from earned surplus must not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of 7710's surplus as regards policyholders as shown in 7710 Insurance Company's most recent annual statement; or (ii) the net income, not including net realized capital gains or losses as shown in 7710 Insurance Company's most recent annual statement; or (b) when paid from earned surplus must not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of 7710 Insurance Company's surplus as regards policyholders as shown in 7710 Insurance Company's most recent annual statement; or (ii) the net income, not including net realized capital gains or losses as shown in the 7710 Insurance Company's most recent annual statement. Dividends shall not include pro rata distributions of any class of 7710's own securities.
Under Arkansas law, dividends payable from BSIC without the prior approval of the applicable insurance commissioner must not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of BSIC’s surplus as shown on the last statutory financial statement on file with the Arkansas Insurance Department; or (ii) 100% of net income during the applicable twelve- month period (not including realized gains). Dividends shall not include pro rata distributions of any class of BSIC's own securities.
The maximum amount of dividends the insurance subsidiaries can pay us during 20212022 without regulatory approval is $23,859.approximately $17,800. Insurance regulators have broad powers to ensure that statutory surplus remains at adequate levels, and there is no assurance that dividends of the maximum amount calculated under any applicable formula would be permitted. In the future, state insurance regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction over the payment of dividends by the insurance subsidiaries may adopt statutory provisions more restrictive than those currently in effect.
Our insurance subsidiaries are also required by state law to maintain a minimum level of policyholders' surplus. Kansas, Utah, Arkansas and South Carolina utilize a risk-based capital requirement as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Such requirements are designed to identify the various business risks (e.g., investment risk, underwriting profitability risk, etc.) of insurance companies and their subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the total adjusted capital of our insurance subsidiaries was in excess of their respective prescribed risk-based capital requirements.
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $101,361$103,865 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $153,149$129,577 as of December 31, 2020.2021.
Management believes that we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our operating cash needs and obligations and committed capital expenditures for the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
Our most significant source of cash is from premiums received from insureds, net of the related commission amount for the policies. Our most significant cash outflow is for claims that arise when a policyholder incurs an insured loss. Because the payment of claims occurs after the receipt of the premium, often years later, we invest the cash in various investment securities that generally earn interest and dividends. The table below summarizes our net cash flows.

The decrease in prepaid reinsurance premiums was the result of increased retention, partially offset by the increase in ceded premiums. Unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums increased primarily due to an increase in gross written premiums and an increase in our retention. Funds held under reinsurance agreements decreased due a reduction in the fair value of the embedded derivatives, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums. The increases in premiums and other receivables and reinsurance recoverables were primarily a result of an increase in gross written premiums during the period. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses is due to reductions in accrued bonuses, accrued 401(k) match and accrued premium taxes, all paid in the first quarter of 2022. Other assets increased as a result of increases in our deferred acquisition costs and contract asset balances. Funds held under reinsurance agreements decreased due to an arbitration settlement in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in the non-cash transfer of certain investments held as collateral. Excluding non-cash transfers, funds held under reinsurance agreements increased as a result of an increase in gross written premium.

Ratings
We have a financial strength rating of "A" (Excellent) from A.M. Best. A.M. Best assigns 16 ratings to insurance companies, which currently range from "A++" (Superior) to "S" (Rating Suspended).

Best's opinion, an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders.

These judgments and estimates affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of our material contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates regularly using information that we believe to be relevant. The estimates and judgments that are most critical to the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include: (a)(i) reserves for unpaid loss and LAE; (b)(ii) reinsurance recoveries; (c)(iii) investment fair value measurements; (d)(iv) goodwill and intangible assets; and (e)(v) business combinations.
