Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business . Primerica, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of financial products and services to middle-income households in the United States and Canada through a network of independent contractor sales representatives (“independent sales representatives” or “independent sales force”). We assist our clients in meeting their needs for term life insurance, which we underwrite, and mutual funds, annuities, managed investments and other financial products, which we distribute primarily on behalf of third parties. Our primary subsidiaries include the following entities: Primerica Financial Services, LLC, a general agency and marketing company; Primerica Life Insurance Company (“Primerica Life”), our principal life insurance company; Primerica Financial Services (Canada) Ltd., a holding company for our Canadian operations, which includes Primerica Life Insurance Company of Canada (“Primerica Life Canada”) and PFSL Investments Canada Ltd.; PFS Investments Inc., an investment products company and broker-dealer; and Primerica Health, Inc, a holding company for our senior health operations, which includes e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “e-TeleQuote”), which markets Medicare-related insurance products underwritten by third-party health insurance carriers to eligible Medicare beneficiaries through its licensed health insurance agents. Primerica Life, domiciled in Tennessee, owns National Benefit Life Insurance Company, a New York insurance company. Vidalia Re, Inc. (“Vidalia Re”) is a special purpose financial captive insurance company and wholly owned subsidiary of Primerica Life. Vidalia Re has entered into a separate coinsurance agreement with Primerica Life whereby Primerica Life has ceded certain level-premium term life insurance policies to Vidalia Re (the “Vidalia Re Coinsurance Agreement”). Basis of Presentation . We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles are established primarily by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary to fairly present the balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or of the results to be expected in future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are sufficient to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”). Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect financial statement balances, revenues and expenses and cash flows, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management considers available facts and knowledge of existing circumstances when establishing the estimates included in our financial statements. The most significant items that involve a greater degree of accounting estimates and actuarial determinations subject to change in the future are the valuation of investments, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”) and corresponding amounts recoverable from reinsurers, renewal commissions receivable, income taxes, and valuation of intangible assets and goodwill. Estimates for these and other items are subject to change and are reassessed by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those entities required to be consolidated under U.S. GAAP. All material intercompany profits, transactions, and balances among the consolidated entities have been eliminated. Changes to Accounting Policies . All significant accounting policies remain unchanged from the 2023 Annual Report unless otherwise described. Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period reporting classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total stockholders’ equity. Correction of Immaterial Errors on Previously Issued Financial Statements. As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified immaterial errors in amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (“Previously-reported Financial Statements”) related to the measurement of reinsurance recoverables and DAC in conjunction with the adoption of Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-12 , Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944)—Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (“LDTI”). The resulting impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was an overstatement of benefits and claims, an understatement of future policy benefits remeasurement loss and an understatement of DAC amortization along with the related income tax impact that netted to cause an understatement of net income. In accordance with FASB ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , the Company evaluated the materiality of these errors quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded that these prior period errors were immaterial to the Previously-reported Financial Statements. As such, the Company revised the prior period financial information included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, initially presented in the Previously-reported Financial Statements, to correct these errors. The revisions resulted in an increase to net income of $ 3.0 million, or 2.4 % , and increases to each of basic and diluted earnings per share of $ 0.08 , or 2.4 % in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the Previously-reported Financial Statements. Prior period information included in the notes herein to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have also been revised as needed. These errors were specifically related to the Company’s accounting estimates under LDTI and no financial statements prior to the adoption of LDTI were affected. Management detected and corrected these errors during the second quarter of 2023 as previously disclosed, and the errors do not affect financial information subsequent to the date of the Previously-reported Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. Accounting standard Adoption date Description Effects on the financial statements Segment Reporting (Topic 280)— Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ASU 2023-07 Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective transition for all periods presented. In November 2023, the FASB issued the ASU to enhance segment disclosures. The amendments (1) require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (2) require disclosure of “other segment items” by reportable segment, which is the difference between segment revenue and significant segment expenses; (3) require annual segment disclosures to be included in interim financial statements; (4) clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, an entity may report one or more of those additional measures; and (5) require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will revise disclosures in accordance with the new standard in our annual 2024 financial statements and for interim periods thereafter. Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ASU 2023-09 Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Prospective transition, although retrospective transition is permitted. In December 2023, the FASB issued the ASU to increase income tax transparency through improvements primarily related to the existing rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The amendments require (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation; and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU also removes certain disclosure requirements, such as reasonably possible significant changes in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will revise disclosures in accordance with the new standard in our annual 2025 financial statements. In addition, in March 2024, the SEC issued final rules that include updates to Regulation S-X for climate-related disclosures (the “Climate-Related Disclosures rule”). The Climate-Related Disclosures rule is currently stayed pending the completion of judicial review. The Climate-Related Disclosures rule requires a registrant to disclose in the notes to the financial statements (1) expenditures and losses, and capitalized costs and charges in each case excluding recoveries, incurred or recognized during a fiscal year as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions; and (2) where material to a company's plan to achieve disclosed climate-related targets or goals, information regarding carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. The adoption of the Climate-Related Disclosures rule will impact our disclosures and may require changes to certain of our processes, systems, and controls. We are currently evaluating existing processes and data to determine what changes may be necessary. If the stay is lifted, the updates to Regulation S-X included in the Climate-Related Disclosures rule would be effective for the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Recently issued accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable, is immaterial to our consolidated financial statements, or did not or is not expected to have a material impact on our business. |

Investments | (3) Investments Available-for-sale Securities. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities were as follows: March 31, 2024 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value (In thousands) Securities available-for-sale, carried at fair value: Fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ 10,378 $ 11 $ ( 514 ) $ 9,875 Foreign government 168,671 656 ( 10,507 ) 158,820 States and political subdivisions 144,543 575 ( 14,894 ) 130,224 Corporates 1,778,147 10,844 ( 126,858 ) 1,662,133 Residential mortgage-backed securities 513,935 1,089 ( 68,039 ) 446,985 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 123,895 120 ( 12,911 ) 111,104 Other asset-backed securities 273,166 1,039 ( 11,206 ) 262,999 Total fixed-maturity securities 3,012,735 14,334 ( 244,929 ) 2,782,140 Short-term investments 271 - - 271 Total fixed-maturity and short-term investments $ 3,013,006 $ 14,334 $ ( 244,929 ) $ 2,782,411 December 31, 2023 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value (In thousands) Securities available-for-sale, carried at fair value: Fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ 9,974 $ 18 $ ( 476 ) $ 9,516 Foreign government 170,354 1,616 ( 8,588 ) 163,382 States and political subdivisions 145,779 891 ( 14,681 ) 131,989 Corporates 1,723,023 14,787 ( 120,286 ) 1,617,524 Residential mortgage-backed securities 499,771 1,688 ( 63,928 ) 437,531 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 127,454 156 ( 15,443 ) 112,167 Other asset-backed securities 258,857 763 ( 12,262 ) 247,358 Total fixed-maturity securities 2,935,212 19,919 ( 235,664 ) 2,719,467 Short-term investments 276 - - 276 Total fixed-maturity and short-term investments $ 2,935,488 $ 19,919 $ ( 235,664 ) $ 2,719,743 All of our AFS mortgage- and asset-backed securities represent beneficial interests in variable interest entities (“VIEs”). We are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in these VIEs equals the carrying value of the securities. The scheduled maturity distribution of the AFS fixed-maturity securities portfolio as of March 31, 2024 was as follows: Amortized cost Fair value (In thousands) Due in one year or less $ 220,907 $ 218,962 Due after one year through five years 731,699 702,785 Due after five years through 10 years 794,837 718,088 Due after 10 years 354,296 321,217 2,101,739 1,961,052 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities 910,996 821,088 Total AFS fixed-maturity securities $ 3,012,735 $ 2,782,140 Expected maturities may differ from scheduled contractual maturities because issuers of securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Trading Securities. The costs and fair values of the fixed-maturity securities classified as trading securities were as follows: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Cost Fair value Cost Fair value (In thousands) Fixed-maturity securities $ 3,800 $ 3,253 $ 18,761 $ 18,383 Held-to-maturity Security. Concurrent with the execution of the Vidalia Re Coinsurance Agreement, Vidalia Re entered into a Surplus Note Purchase Agreement (the “Surplus Note Purchase Agreement”) with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Hannover Re”) and a newly formed limited liability company (the “LLC”) owned by a third- party service provider. Under the Surplus Note Purchase Agreement, Vidalia Re issued a surplus note (the “Surplus Note”) to the LLC in exchange for a credit enhanced note from the LLC with an equal principal amount (the “LLC Note”). The principal amount of both the LLC Note and the Surplus Note will fluctuate over time to coincide with the amount of reserves contractually supported under the Vidalia Re Coinsurance Agreement. Both the LLC Note and the Surplus Note mature on December 31, 2030 and bear interest at an annual interest rate of 4.50 % . The LLC Note is guaranteed by Hannover Re through a credit enhancement feature in exchange for a fee, which is reflected in interest expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The LLC is a VIE as its owner does not have an equity investment at risk that is sufficient to permit the LLC to finance its activities without Vidalia Re or Hannover Re. The Parent Company, Primerica Life, and Vidalia Re share the power to direct the activities of the LLC with Hannover Re, but they do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive any residual returns related to the LLC’s primary risks or sources of variability. Through the credit enhancement feature, Hannover Re is the ultimate risk taker in this transaction and bears the obligation to absorb the LLC’s losses in the event of a Surplus Note default in exchange for the fee. Accordingly, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the LLC and does not consolidate the LLC within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 5 (Reinsurance) for Hannover Re’s financial strength rating. The LLC Note is classified as a held-to-maturity debt security in the Company’s invested asset portfolio as we have the positive intent and ability to hold the security until maturity. As of March 31, 2024, the LLC Note had an estimated unrealized holding loss of $ 77.2 million based on its amortized cost and estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the LLC Note is expected to be at least equal to the estimated fair value of the offsetting Surplus Note. See Note 15 (Debt) for more information on the Surplus Note. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , no credit losses have been recognized on the LLC Note. Investments on Deposit with Governmental Authorities. As required by law, we have investments on deposit with governmental authorities and banks for the protection of policyholders. The fair value of investments on deposit was $ 7.7 million and $ 7.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Securities Lending Transactions. We participate in securities lending transactions with broker-dealers and other financial institutions to increase investment income with minimal risk. We require minimum collateral on securities loaned equal to 102 % of the fair value of the loaned securities. We accept collateral in the form of securities, which we are not able to sell or encumber, and to the extent the collateral declines in value below 100 %, we require additional collateral from the borrower. Any securities collateral received is not reflected on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also accept collateral in the form of cash, all of which we reinvest. For loans involving unrestricted cash collateral, the collateral is reported as an asset with a corresponding liability representing our obligation to return the collateral. We continue to carry the loaned securities as invested assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets during the terms of the loans, and we do not report them as sales. Cash collateral received and reinvested was $ 76.6 million and $ 99.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , respectively. Net Investment Income. The components of net investment income were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Fixed-maturity securities (available-for-sale) $ 29,936 $ 25,806 Fixed-maturity security (held-to-maturity) 15,785 16,435 Equity securities 390 380 Policy loans and other invested assets 461 ( 71 ) Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments 6,982 5,128 Total return on deposit asset underlying 10% coinsurance agreement (1) 2,174 2,049 Gross investment income 55,728 49,727 Investment expenses ( 2,137 ) ( 2,227 ) Investment income net of investment expenses 53,591 47,500 Interest expense on surplus note ( 15,785 ) ( 16,435 ) Net investment income $ 37,806 $ 31,065 (1) I ncludes $( 0.1 ) million and $( 0.3 ) million of net gains (losses) recognized for the change in fair value of the deposit asset underlying the 10 % coinsurance agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The components of investment gains (losses), as well as details on gross realized investment gains (losses) and other investment gains (losses) were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Realized investment gains (losses): Gross gains from sales of available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities $ 7 $ 49 Gross losses from sales of available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities - ( 1,034 ) Net realized investment gains (losses): 7 ( 985 ) Other investment gains (losses): Credit losses impairment of available-for-sale securities - ( 2,160 ) Market gains (losses) recognized in net income during the period on equity securities 1,296 ( 1,475 ) Gains (losses) from equity method investments - - Gains (losses) from bifurcated options ( 5 ) 8 Gains (losses) on trading securities 7 4 Other investment gains (losses): 1,298 ( 3,623 ) Investment gains (losses) $ 1,305 $ ( 4,608 ) The proceeds from sales or other redemptions of AFS securities were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Proceeds from sales or other redemptions $ 86,418 $ 85,430 Accrued Interest. Accrued interest is recorded in accordance with the contractual interest schedule of the underlying security. In the event of default, the Company’s policy is to no longer accrue interest on these securities and to write off any remaining accrued interest. As a result, the Company has made the policy election to not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest. Credit Losses for AFS Fixed-maturity Securities. The following tables summarize all AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded as of March 31, 2024, aggregated by major security type and by length of time such securities have continuously been in an unrealized loss position: March 31, 2024 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Fair value Unrealized losses Fair value Unrealized losses (In thousands) Fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ 1,880 $ ( 24 ) $ 7,674 $ ( 490 ) Foreign government 37,766 ( 644 ) 101,380 ( 9,863 ) States and political subdivisions 7,956 ( 98 ) 106,771 ( 14,796 ) Corporates 133,934 ( 1,582 ) 1,196,896 ( 125,276 ) Residential mortgage-backed securities 32,912 ( 446 ) 350,716 ( 67,593 ) Commercial mortgage-backed securities 2,010 ( 8 ) 98,186 ( 12,903 ) Other asset-backed securities 45,700 ( 208 ) 130,782 ( 10,998 ) Total fixed-maturity securities $ 262,158 $ ( 3,010 ) $ 1,992,405 $ ( 241,919 ) December 31, 2023 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Fair value Unrealized losses Fair value Unrealized losses (In thousands) Fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ - $ - $ 9,188 $ ( 476 ) Foreign government 17,209 ( 62 ) 104,827 ( 8,526 ) States and political subdivisions 4,883 ( 46 ) 107,021 ( 14,635 ) Corporates 39,783 ( 907 ) 1,231,694 ( 119,379 ) Residential mortgage-backed securities 14,872 ( 142 ) 360,987 ( 63,786 ) Commercial mortgage-backed securities 4,721 ( 107 ) 97,417 ( 15,336 ) Other asset-backed securities 41,417 ( 159 ) 136,841 ( 12,103 ) Total fixed-maturity securities $ 122,885 $ ( 1,423 ) $ 2,047,975 $ ( 234,241 ) The amortized cost of AFS securities with a cost basis in excess of their fair values were $ 2,499.5 million and $ 2,406.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 , no allowance for credit losses was recorded for AFS securities. Substantially all of the unrealized losses were the result of change in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the securities, and we have no present intention to dispose of them. We did no t recognize any credit losses on AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We recognized $ 2.2 million for credit losses on AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. We recognize credit losses on securities due to: (i) our intent to sell them; (ii) adverse credit events indicating that we will not receive the security’s contractual cash flows when contractually due, such as news of an impending filing for bankruptcy; (iii) analyses of the issuer’s most recent financial statements or other information indicating that significant liquidity deficiencies, significant losses and large declines in capitalization exist; and (iv) analyses of rating agency information for issuances with severe ratings downgrades indicating a significant increase in the possibility of default. Derivatives. We have a deferred loss related to closed forward contracts, which were settled several years ago, that were used to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates that resulted from the net investment in our Canadian operations. The amount of deferred loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $ 26.4 million as of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 . These deferred losses will not be recognized until such time as we sell or substantially liquidate our Canadian operations, although we have no such intention. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (4) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Invested assets recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We classify and disclose all invested assets carried at fair value in one of the following three levels: • Level 1. Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices in active markets, such as cash, cash equivalents in money market funds, exchange-traded common stocks and actively traded mutual fund investments; • Level 2. Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using industry-standard pricing methodologies, models or other valuation methodologies. Various inputs are considered in deriving the fair value of the underlying financial instrument, including interest rate and yield curves, credit spread, and foreign exchange rates. All significant inputs are observable, or derived from observable information in the marketplace or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Financial instruments in this category could include: cash equivalents and short-term investments in U.S. treasury securities; certain public and private corporate fixed-maturity and equity securities; government or agency securities; and certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities; and • Level 3. Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 consists of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on industry-standard pricing methodologies and models using significant inputs not based on, nor corroborated by, readily available market information. Valuations for this category primarily consist of non-binding broker quotes. Financial instruments in this category could include less liquid mortgage- and asset-backed securities and equity securities. As of each reporting period, all assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input (Level 3 being the lowest in the hierarchy) that is significant to the fair value measurement. Significant levels of estimation and judgment are required to determine the fair value of certain of our investments. The factors influencing these estimations and judgments are subject to change in subsequent reporting periods. The estimated fair value and hierarchy classifications for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: March 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Fair value assets: Available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ - $ 9,875 $ - $ 9,875 Foreign government - 158,820 - 158,820 States and political subdivisions - 130,224 - 130,224 Corporates 3,946 1,658,187 - 1,662,133 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed securities - 446,985 - 446,985 Commercial mortgage-backed securities - 111,104 - 111,104 Other asset-backed securities - 262,999 - 262,999 Total available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities 3,946 2,778,194 - 2,782,140 Short-term investments - 271 - 271 Total available-for-sale securities 3,946 2,778,465 - 2,782,411 Equity securities 24,038 978 1,631 26,647 Trading securities - 3,253 - 3,253 Cash and cash equivalents 593,399 - - 593,399 Separate accounts - 2,334,911 - 2,334,911 Total fair value assets $ 621,383 $ 5,117,607 $ 1,631 $ 5,740,621 Fair value liabilities: Separate accounts $ - $ 2,334,911 $ - $ 2,334,911 Total fair value liabilities $ - $ 2,334,911 $ - $ 2,334,911 December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Fair value assets: Available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities: U.S. government and agencies $ - $ 9,516 $ - $ 9,516 Foreign government - 163,382 - 163,382 States and political subdivisions - 131,989 - 131,989 Corporates 3,951 1,613,573 - 1,617,524 Mortgage-and asset-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed securities - 437,531 - 437,531 Commercial mortgage-backed securities - 112,167 - 112,167 Other asset-backed securities - 246,858 500 247,358 Total available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities 3,951 2,715,016 500 2,719,467 Short-term investments - 276 - 276 Total available-for-sale securities 3,951 2,715,292 500 2,719,743 Equity securities 27,062 974 1,644 29,680 Trading securities - 18,383 - 18,383 Cash and cash equivalents 613,148 - - 613,148 Separate accounts - 2,395,842 - 2,395,842 Total fair value assets $ 644,161 $ 5,130,491 $ 2,144 $ 5,776,796 Fair value liabilities: Separate accounts $ - $ 2,395,842 $ - $ 2,395,842 Total fair value liabilities $ - $ 2,395,842 $ - $ 2,395,842 In estimating fair value of our investments, we use a third-party pricing service for approximately all of our securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The remaining securities are primarily thinly-traded securities, such as private placements, and are valued using models based on observable inputs on public corporate spreads having similar characteristics (e.g., sector, average life and quality rating), liquidity and yield based on quality rating, average life and U.S. Treasury yields. All observable data inputs are corroborated by independent third-party data. We also corroborate pricing information provided by our third-party pricing service by performing a review of selected securities. Our review activities include: obtaining detailed information about the assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing the security; documenting this information; and corroborating it by comparison to independently obtained prices and/or independently developed pricing methodologies. Furthermore, we perform internal reasonableness assessments on fair value determinations within our portfolio throughout the year and as of year-end, including pricing variance analyses and comparisons to alternative pricing sources and benchmark returns. If a fair value appears unusual relative to these assessments, we will re-examine the inputs and may challenge a fair value assessment made by the pricing service. If there is a known pricing error, we will request a reassessment by the pricing service. If the pricing service is unable to perform the reassessment on a timely basis, we will determine the appropriate price by requesting a reassessment from an alternative pricing service or other qualified source as necessary. We do not adjust quotes or prices except in a rare circumstance to resolve a known error. Because many fixed-maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, third-party pricing services generally determine fair value using industry-standard methodologies, which vary by asset class. For corporates, governments, and agency securities, these methodologies include developing prices by incorporating available market information such as U.S. Treasury curves, benchmarking of similar securities including new issues, sector groupings, quotes from market participants and matrix pricing. Observable information is compiled and integrates relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. Additionally, security prices are periodically back-tested to validate and/or refine models as conditions warrant. Market indicators and industry and economic events are also monitored as triggers to obtain additional data. For certain structured securities (such as mortgage- and asset-backed securities) with limited trading activity, third-party pricing services generally use industry-standard pricing methodologies that incorporate market information, such as index prices or discounting expected future cash flows based on underlying collateral, and quotes from market participants, to estimate fair value. If one or more of these input measures are not deemed observable for a particular security, the security will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Where specific market information is unavailable for certain securities, pricing models produce estimates of fair value primarily using Level 2 inputs along with certain Level 3 inputs. These models include matrix pricing. The pricing matrix uses current U.S. Treasury rates and credit spreads received from third-party sources to estimate fair value. The credit spreads incorporate the issuer’s industry- or issuer-specific credit characteristics and the security’s time to maturity, if warranted. Remaining unpriced securities are valued using an estimate of fair value based on indicative market prices that include significant unobservable inputs not based on, nor corroborated by, market information, including the utilization of non-binding broker quotes. The roll-forward of the Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis was as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Level 3 assets, beginning of period $ 2,144 $ 1,710 Net unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income 4 - Realized gains (losses) and accretion (amortization) recognized in earnings ( 13 ) ( 17 ) Purchases - 2,316 Sales - - Settlements - - Transfers into Level 3 - - Transfers out of Level 3 ( 504 ) - Level 3 assets, end of period $ 1,631 $ 4,009 We obtain independent pricing quotes based on observable inputs as of the end of the reporting period for all securities in Level 2.

(2) Carrying value amounts shown are net of unamortized issuance costs. (3) Classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair values of financial instruments presented above are estimates of the fair values at a specific point in time using various sources and methods, including market quotations and a complex matrix system that takes into account issuer sector, quality, and spreads in the current marketplace. Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value in the Balance Sheets. Estimated fair values of investments in AFS securities are principally a function of current spreads and interest rates that are corroborated by independent third-party data. Therefore, the fair values presented are indicative of amounts we could realize or settle at the respective balance sheet date. We do not necessarily intend to dispose of or liquidate such instruments prior to maturity. Trading securities and equity securities, including common and nonredeemable preferred stocks, are carried at fair value. Segregated funds in separate accounts are carried at the underlying value of the variable insurance contracts, which is fair value. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accrued investment income, accounts payable, cash collateral and payables for security transactions approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Consequently, such financial instruments are not included in the above table. |

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Reinsurance | (5) Reinsurance We use reinsurance extensively, which has a significant effect on our results of operations. Reinsurance arrangements do not relieve us of our primary obligation to the policyholder.

Reinsurance recoverables include ceded policy benefit reserve balances, ceded claim liabilities, and ceded claims paid that have not been reimbursed. The Company allocated reinsurance recoverables estimated at the cohort level to individual reinsurers for disclosure purposes.

Arrangements with these reinsurers include collateral trust agreements held in support of reinsurance recoverables. (2) Entity is rated AA- by S&P. (3) Includes amounts ceded to Transamerica Reinsurance Companies and fully retroceded to SCOR Global Life Reinsurance Companies. (4) Includes amounts ceded to Lincoln National Life Insurance and fully retroceded to Swiss Re Life & Health America Inc. We estimate and recognize lifetime expected credit losses for reinsurance recoverables. In estimating the allowance for credit losses for reinsurance recoverables, we factor in the underlying collateral for reinsurance agreements where available. Specifically, for reinsurers with underlying trust assets, we compare the reinsurance recoverables balance to the underlying trust assets that mitigate the potential exposure to credit losses. We also analyze the financial condition of the reinsurers, as determined by third-party rating agencies, to determine the probability of default for the reinsurers. We then utilize a third-party credit default study to calculate an expected credit loss given default rate or recovery rate. The probability of default and loss given default rates are then applied to the reinsurers’ recoverable balance, while also factoring in any third-party letters of credit that support the reinsurance agreement, in order to calculate our allowance for credit losses. The rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on reinsurance recoverables were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 1,120 $ 2,936 Current period provision for expected credit losses ( 72 ) 627 Balance, at the end of period $ 1,048 $ 3,563 |

As sales restrictions on RSUs lapse and PSUs are earned, we issue common shares with voting rights. As of March 31, 2024, we had a total of 223,730 RSUs and 58,619 PSUs outstanding. The PSU outstanding balance is based on the number of PSUs granted pursuant to the award agreements; however, the actual number of common shares earned could be higher or lower based on actual versus targeted performance. See Note 12 (Share-Based Transactions) for discussion of the PSU award structure. On November 16, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $ 425.0 million of our outstanding common stock for purchases from November 16, 2023 through December 31, 2024 (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased 465,938 shares of our common stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $ 109.1 million through March 31, 2024. Approximately $ 315.9 million remains available for repurchases of our outstanding common stock under the Share Repurchase Program as of March 31, 2024 . |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | (11) Earnings Per Share The Company has outstanding common stock and equity awards that consist of RSUs and PSUs. All previously remaining outstanding stock options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2023. The RSUs maintain non-forfeitable dividend rights that result in dividend payment obligations on a one-to-one ratio with common shares for any future dividend declarations. Unvested RSUs are deemed participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) as they maintain dividend rights. We calculate EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, we allocate earnings to common shares and vested RSUs outstanding for the period. Earnings attributable to unvested participating securities, along with the corresponding share counts, are excluded from EPS as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating basic EPS, we deduct from net income any dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to unvested RSUs and then divide the result by the weighted-average number of common shares and vested RSUs outstanding for the period. We determine the potential dilutive effect of PSUs and stock options outstanding (“contingently-issuable shares”) on EPS using the treasury-stock method. Under this method, we determine the proceeds that would be received from the issuance of the contingently-issuable shares if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. The proceeds from the contingently-issuable shares include the remaining unrecognized compensation expense of the awards and the cash received for the exercise price on stock options. We then use the average market price of our common shares during the period the contingently-issuable shares were outstanding to determine how many shares we could repurchase with the proceeds raised from the issuance of the contingently-issuable shares. The net incremental share count issued represents the potential dilutive securities. We then reallocate earnings to common shares and vested RSUs by incorporating the increased fully-diluted share count to determine diluted EPS. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS was as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands, except per-share amounts) Basic EPS: Numerator: Net income $ 137,904 $ 128,099 Income attributable to unvested participating securities ( 572 ) ( 579 ) Net income used in calculating basic EPS $ 137,332 $ 127,520 Denominator: Weighted-average vested shares 34,883 36,710 Basic EPS $ 3.94 $ 3.47 Diluted EPS: Numerator: Net income $ 137,904 $ 128,099 Income attributable to unvested participating securities ( 572 ) ( 578 ) Net income used in calculating diluted EPS $ 137,332 $ 127,521 Denominator: Weighted-average vested shares 34,883 36,710 Dilutive effect of incremental shares to be issued for 54 94 Weighted-average shares used in calculating diluted EPS 34,937 36,804 Diluted EPS $ 3.93 $ 3.46 |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Transactions | (12) Share-Based Transactions The Company has outstanding equity awards under the Primerica, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “OIP”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 13, 2020. The OIP provides for the issuance of equity awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, RSUs, PSUs, and stock payment awards, as well as cash-based awards. In addition to time-based vesting requirements, awards granted under the OIP may also be subject to specified performance criteria. Under the OIP, the Company issues equity awards to our management (officers and other key employees), non-employees who serve on our Board of Directors, and sales force leaders. For more information on equity awards granted under the OIP, see Note 15 (Share-Based Transactions) to our consolidated financial statements within our 2023 Annual Report. In connection with our granting of equity awards to management and members of the Board of Directors, we recognize expense over the requisite service period of the equity award. We defer and amortize the fair value of equity awards granted to the sales force in the same manner as other deferred policy acquisition costs for those awards that are an incremental direct cost of successful acquisitions of life insurance policies that result directly from and are essential to the policy acquisition(s) and would not have been incurred had the policy acquisition(s) not occurred. All equity awards granted to the sales force that are not directly related to the successful acquisition of life insurance policies are recognized as expense as incurred, which is in the quarter granted and earned. The impact of equity awards granted under the OIP are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Equity awards expense recognized $ 12,614 $ 12,125 Equity awards expense deferred 2,199 2,523 On February 16, 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted the following equity awards to employees as part of the annual approval of management incentive compensation: • 48,998 RSUs awarded to management with a measurement-date fair value of $ 244.89 per unit that have time-based vesting requirements with equal and annual graded vesting over approximately three years subsequent to the grant date. • 15,005 PSUs awarded to our five top executives as of that date with a measurement-date fair value of $ 244.89 per unit. The PSUs will be earned on March 1, 2027 contingent upon the Company achieving a targeted annual average three-year return on adjusted equity (“ROAE”) and average EPS growth for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. The actual number of common shares that will be earned will vary based on the actual ROAE and average EPS growth relative to the targeted ROAE and average EPS growth and can range from zero to 22,507 shares. All awards granted to employees on February 16, 2024 vest upon voluntary termination of employment by any employee who is “retirement eligible” as of his or her termination date. In order to be retirement eligible, an employee must be at least 55 years old and his or her age plus years of service with the Company must equal at least 75. The number of PSUs that will ultimately be earned for a retirement eligible employee is equal to the amount calculated using the Company’s actual cumulative three-year ROAE and average EPS growth for the performance period even if that employee retires prior to the completion of such relevant three-year performance period. |

As of March 31, 2024, the principal amount outstanding on the Surplus Note issued by Vidalia Re was $ 1.4 billion, which is equal to the principal amount of the LLC Note. The principal amounts of the Surplus Note and the LLC Note have reached their peaks and are expected to decrease over time to coincide with the amount of policy reserves being contractually supported under the Vidalia Re Coinsurance Agreement. Both the LLC Note and the Surplus Note mature on December 31, 2030 and bear interest at an annual interest rate of 4.50 % . This financing arrangement is non-recourse to the Parent Company and Primerica Life, meaning that neither of these companies has guaranteed the Surplus Note or is otherwise liable for reimbursement for any payments triggered by the LLC Note’s credit enhancement feature. The Parent Company has agreed to support Vidalia Re’s obligation to pay the credit enhancement fee incurred on the LLC Note. Further discussion on the Company’s LLC Note is included in Note 3 (Investments). Revolving Credit Facility. We maintain an unsecured $ 200.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of commercial banks. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled termination date of June 22, 2026 . Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are borrowed, at our discretion, on the basis of either a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate loan, or a base rate loan. SOFR rate loans bear interest at a periodic rate equal to one-, three-, or six-month Adjusted Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin. Base rate loans bear interest at the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin. The Revolving Credit Facility also permits the issuance of letters of credit. The applicable margins are based on our debt rating with such margins for SOFR rate loans and letters of credit ranging from 1.000 % to 1.625 % per annum and for base rate loans ranging from 0.000 % to 0.625 % per annum. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, we incur a commitment fee that is payable quarterly in arrears and is determined by our debt rating. This commitment fee ranges from 0.100 % to 0.225 % per annum of the aggregate amount of the $ 200.0 million commitment of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility that remains undrawn. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with its covenants. Furthermore, no events of default occurred under the Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2024 . |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customers | (16) Revenue from Contracts with Customers Our revenues from contracts with customers primarily include: • Commissions and fees earned for the marketing and distribution of investment and savings products underwritten by mutual fund companies and annuity providers. For purposes of revenue recognition, mutual fund companies and annuity providers are considered the customers in marketing and distribution arrangements; • Fees earned for investment advisory and administrative services within our managed investments program and shareholder service fees earned in Canada for mutual funds for which we serve as principal distributor; • Account-based fees for transfer agent recordkeeping functions and non-bank custodial services; • Commissions and fees earned from the distribution of Medicare-related insurance products on behalf of health insurance carriers, including tail revenue adjustments; • Other Senior Health segment revenues earned for providing certain marketing services and health risk assessment services, which are recorded in Other, net revenue; • Fees associated with mortgage distribution and the distribution of other third-party financial products; and • Other revenue from the sale of miscellaneous products and services including monthly subscription fees from the sales representatives for access to Primerica Online, our primary sales force support tool. Premiums from insurance contracts we underwrite, fees received from segregated funds insurance contracts, and income earned on our invested assets are excluded from the definition of revenues from contracts with customers in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further discussion on the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers and revenue recognition policies are included in Note 19 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) to our consolidated financial statements within our 2023 Annual Report. The disaggregation of our revenues from contracts with customers were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Term Life Insurance segment revenues: Other, net $ 12,649 $ 12,233 Total segment revenues from contracts with customers 12,649 12,233 Revenues from sources other than contracts with customers 427,763 408,836 Total Term Life Insurance segment revenues $ 440,412 $ 421,069 Investment and Savings Products segment revenues: Commissions and fees Sales-based revenues $ 88,746 $ 72,388 Asset-based revenues 114,699 98,104 Account-based revenues 23,180 22,790 Other, net 3,258 3,120 Total segment revenues from contracts with customers 229,883 196,402 Revenues from sources other than contracts 13,833 13,800 Total Investment and Savings Products segment revenues $ 243,716 $ 210,202 Senior Health segment revenues: Commissions and fees $ 6,077 $ 15,755 Other, net 803 2,955 Total Senior Health segment revenues $ 6,880 $ 18,710 Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment revenues: Commissions and fees $ 8,486 $ 8,710 Other, net 705 1,199 Total segment revenues from contracts with customers 9,191 9,909 Revenues from sources other than contracts with customers 42,631 30,146 Total Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment revenues $ 51,822 $ 40,055 Renewal Commissions Receivable. For revenue associated with ongoing renewal commissions in the Senior Health and Corporate and Other Distributed Products segments, we record a renewal commission receivable asset for the amount of ongoing renewal commissions we anticipate collecting in reporting periods subsequent to the satisfaction of the performance obligation, less amounts that are constrained in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We update our estimate of variable consideration each period as new facts or circumstances that were not available at the time of the initial estimate will indicate that the expected renewal commissions are higher or lower than our renewal commissions receivable. As such, the expected renewal commissions receivable will be written down or up to its revised expected value by adjustments to revenue, which we refer to as tail revenue adjustments. Activity in the Renewal commissions receivable account was as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In thousands) Senior Health segment: Balance, beginning of period $ 128,886 $ 139,399 Commissions revenue 6,324 9,062 Less: collections ( 11,436 ) ( 14,262 ) Tail revenue adjustment from change in estimate ( 7,841 ) - Balance, at the end of period $ 115,933 $ 134,199 Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment: Balance, beginning of period $ 61,372 $ 60,644 Commissions revenue 5,039 5,370 Less: collections ( 6,046 ) ( 5,804 ) Balance, at the end of period $ 60,365 $ 60,210 Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, most notably sales commissions to the sales representatives, are not incurred prior to the recognition of the related revenue. Therefore, we have no assets recognized for incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation . We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles are established primarily by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary to fairly present the balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or of the results to be expected in future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are sufficient to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect financial statement balances, revenues and expenses and cash flows, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management considers available facts and knowledge of existing circumstances when establishing the estimates included in our financial statements. The most significant items that involve a greater degree of accounting estimates and actuarial determinations subject to change in the future are the valuation of investments, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”) and corresponding amounts recoverable from reinsurers, renewal commissions receivable, income taxes, and valuation of intangible assets and goodwill. Estimates for these and other items are subject to change and are reassessed by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Consolidation | Consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those entities required to be consolidated under U.S. GAAP. All material intercompany profits, transactions, and balances among the consolidated entities have been eliminated. |
Changes to Accounting Principles | Changes to Accounting Policies . All significant accounting policies remain unchanged from the 2023 Annual Report unless otherwise described. Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period reporting classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total stockholders’ equity. Correction of Immaterial Errors on Previously Issued Financial Statements. As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified immaterial errors in amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (“Previously-reported Financial Statements”) related to the measurement of reinsurance recoverables and DAC in conjunction with the adoption of Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-12 , Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944)—Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (“LDTI”). The resulting impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was an overstatement of benefits and claims, an understatement of future policy benefits remeasurement loss and an understatement of DAC amortization along with the related income tax impact that netted to cause an understatement of net income. In accordance with FASB ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , the Company evaluated the materiality of these errors quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded that these prior period errors were immaterial to the Previously-reported Financial Statements. As such, the Company revised the prior period financial information included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, initially presented in the Previously-reported Financial Statements, to correct these errors. The revisions resulted in an increase to net income of $ 3.0 million, or 2.4 % , and increases to each of basic and diluted earnings per share of $ 0.08 , or 2.4 % in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the Previously-reported Financial Statements. Prior period information included in the notes herein to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have also been revised as needed. These errors were specifically related to the Company’s accounting estimates under LDTI and no financial statements prior to the adoption of LDTI were affected. Management detected and corrected these errors during the second quarter of 2023 as previously disclosed, and the errors do not affect financial information subsequent to the date of the Previously-reported Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. Accounting standard Adoption date Description Effects on the financial statements Segment Reporting (Topic 280)— Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ASU 2023-07 Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective transition for all periods presented. In November 2023, the FASB issued the ASU to enhance segment disclosures. The amendments (1) require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (2) require disclosure of “other segment items” by reportable segment, which is the difference between segment revenue and significant segment expenses; (3) require annual segment disclosures to be included in interim financial statements; (4) clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, an entity may report one or more of those additional measures; and (5) require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will revise disclosures in accordance with the new standard in our annual 2024 financial statements and for interim periods thereafter. Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ASU 2023-09 Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Prospective transition, although retrospective transition is permitted. In December 2023, the FASB issued the ASU to increase income tax transparency through improvements primarily related to the existing rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The amendments require (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation; and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU also removes certain disclosure requirements, such as reasonably possible significant changes in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will revise disclosures in accordance with the new standard in our annual 2025 financial statements. In addition, in March 2024, the SEC issued final rules that include updates to Regulation S-X for climate-related disclosures (the “Climate-Related Disclosures rule”). The Climate-Related Disclosures rule is currently stayed pending the completion of judicial review. The Climate-Related Disclosures rule requires a registrant to disclose in the notes to the financial statements (1) expenditures and losses, and capitalized costs and charges in each case excluding recoveries, incurred or recognized during a fiscal year as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions; and (2) where material to a company's plan to achieve disclosed climate-related targets or goals, information regarding carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. The adoption of the Climate-Related Disclosures rule will impact our disclosures and may require changes to certain of our processes, systems, and controls. We are currently evaluating existing processes and data to determine what changes may be necessary. If the stay is lifted, the updates to Regulation S-X included in the Climate-Related Disclosures rule would be effective for the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Recently issued accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable, is immaterial to our consolidated financial statements, or did not or is not expected to have a material impact on our business. |
