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.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments (ASU 2020-03). This update represents changes to clarify and improve the codification to allow for easier application by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarification on items such as (i) the application of fair value option disclosures; (ii) the accounting for fees related to modifications of debt; and (iii) aligning the contractual term of a net investment in a lease in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and the lease term determined in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Company adopted items (i) and (ii) effective January 1, 2020 and will adopt item (iii) on January 1, 2023. Adoption of this standard has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815 (ASU 2020-01).

This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by means of an allowance for credit losses that runs through net income. Additionally, credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, with the amount of the allowance limited to the amount by which the fair value is below the amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2023.

Compstar Holding Company LLC

Effective July 15, 2020, Trean Compstar Holdings LLC purchased the remaining 55% ownership interest in Compstar Holding Company LLC ("Compstar"), a holding company, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Compstar Insurance Services, a managing general agent, by issuing 6,613,606 shares of the Company’s common stock with a market price of $15 per share on the date of acquisition. Prior to the acquisition date, the Company held a 45% ownership interest in Compstar and accounted for its investment under the equity method. The acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s previous equity interest was revalued using the market price of the shares issued as consideration for the acquisition. As a result, the fair value attributable to the Company’s previous equity interest was $81,167 and the carrying value was $11,321, and the Company therefore recorded a gain of $69,846 from the remeasurement of its previous equity interest.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts of estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

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.

The Company utilizes reinsurance contracts to reduce its exposure to losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not relieve the Company from its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers.

Note 11. Leases
The Company's leases consist of operating leases for office space and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Some of the Company's leases include options to extend the term, which isare only included in the lease liability and right-of-use asset calculation when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise thatan option. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one month to 4839 months, some of which have options to extend the lease for up to 5 years.an additional 60 months. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the lease liability and right-of-use assets did not include the impact of any lease extension options as it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the extension options.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during reported periods. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during reported periods and is calculated using the treasury stock method. As a result of the Company's IPO and corporate reorganization in the third quarter of 2020, the number of shares used to compute earnings per share for pre-reorganization 2020 periods presented was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the recapitalization akin to a split-like situation.

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
29

Table of Contents
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 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:

On July 22, 2020, Trean Insurance Group, Inc. closed the sale of an additional 1,207,142 shares by certain selling stockholders in the IPO pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. The aggregate proceeds to the Company from all shares sold by the Company in the IPO were approximately $107,142 and the aggregate IPO proceeds from all shares sold by the selling stockholders in the IPO were approximately $71,678. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 16, 2020 under the symbol "TIG."

Prior to the completion of the above IPO, the Company effected the following reorganization transactions: (i) each of Trean and BIC 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.

In conjunction with the IPO and corporate restructuring, the Company made a payment to Altaris Capital Partners, LLC in connection with the termination of the Company's consulting and advisory agreements as well as paid bonuses to employees and pre-IPO unitholders for the successful completion of the IPO. The aggregate amount of these payments totaled $11,054.

Secondary Offering of Common Stock

Embedded Derivatives

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 now 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 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:
26

Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, gross written premiums for all other non-workers' compensation liability increased $65,166, or 145.0%, compared to the same period in 2020.

Gross earned premiums: Gross earned premiums increased $66,090, or 32.9%, to $266,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $200,833 for the six 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 $19,720, 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 88.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 92.3% for the six 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 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.

Net earned premiums: Net earned premiums increased $45,239, or 103.2%, to $89,077 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $43,838 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net investment income: Net investment income decreased $2,395, or 35.4%, to $4,375We utilize both quota share and catastrophe excess of loss ("XOL") contracts in our reinsurance strategy for our Owned MGAs and Program Partners. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company retained 59.9% of gross earned premiums for Owned MGAs compared to $6,77027.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily attributable to the fair value re-measurement and common stock investment reclassification of the Company's investment in TRI during the first quarter of 2020, which was previously classified as an equity method investment, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $2,000.

Net realized capital gains: Net realized capital gains decreased $3,207 to $23 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the recording of a $3,115 realized gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's investment in TRI during the first quarter of 2020.

Other revenue: Other revenue decreased $38, or 0.6%, to $5,884 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $5,922 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is driven by a decrease in brokerage and management fees, partially offset by an increase in consulting and other fee-based revenue.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses: Losses 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. The increase is directly attributable to the growth in earned premiums during the period as well as an increase in the Company's loss ratio experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's loss ratio increased to 61.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 57.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily attributable to a number of unusually large losses experienced during the first half of 2021.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $10,716, or 65.2%, to $27,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $16,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This change resulted in a decrease in the Company's expense ratio to 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 37.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 700 basis point improvement. Net commissions increased $1,641, driven primarily by an increase in retention, partially offset by a reduction in our net commission rate. Insurance-related expenses increased $1,864 primarily as a result of an increase in gross earned premiums. General and administrative operating expenses increased $7,211, primarily as a result of (i) an increase in salaries and benefits of $4,885, of which $2,756 directly resulted from acquisitions made in the second half of 2020 and a general increase in workforce; (ii) additional rent and office-related expenses totaling $1,786 due to an increase in business insurance expense as well as the addition of new office locations; and (iii) additional IT software and systems costs totaling $1,003 related to new software implementation and automation initiatives; offset by a decrease in professional fees of $975 as a result of the Company's IPO readiness effort in 2020.

Other expenses: Other expenses were $845 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which primarily relates to secondary offering costs of $555 and executive transition and other costs totaling $290.

Intangible asset amortization: Intangible asset amortization increased $2,793 to $2,827 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $34 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is driven by the addition of intangible assets acquired as a result of the purchase of the remaining equity interest of Compstar in the third quarter of 2020 and 7710 Insurance Company in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Noncash stock compensation: Noncash stock compensation was $630 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Expenses incurred during the period related to restricted stock units and stock options granted under the Company's 2020 Omnibus Plan.

Gains (losses) on embedded derivatives: The Company recorded gains on embedded derivatives of $1,990 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to losses of $5,180 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is driven primarily by an increase in unrealized gains on funds held investments of $6,396 as well as a reduction in expenses from funds held investments of $774.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense was $3,019 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 20.7%. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the statutory rate of 21% is due primarily to the impact of tax-exempt municipal income on the Company's investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, income tax expense was $3,218, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 26.6%. The increase in the effective tax rate from the statutory rate of 21% is due primarily to the impact of state taxes and the deferred tax effect of a tax accounting method change on excess ceding commissions.

Equity earnings in affiliates, net of tax: Equity earnings in affiliates, net of tax decreased $1,932 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1,932 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is due to the reduction in the Company's share of earnings in Compstar of $1,932 as a result of the acquisition of the remaining ownership interest during the third quarter of 2020.

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.

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.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include amounts based on the use of estimates and judgments of management.

We identified the accounting estimates that are critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those estimates that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to exercise significant judgment. We use significant judgment concerning future results and developments in applying these critical accounting estimates and in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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.
