In addition, Hagerty provides an automotive enthusiast platform that engages, entertains and connects with its insurance policyholders and Hagerty Drivers Club (" HDC") paid subscribers, referred to herein as "Members," and other car enthusiasts. The Company’s headquarters are located in Traverse City, Michigan. The Company operates several entities which collectively support Hagerty's revenue streams. As a Managing General Agency ("MGA"), Hagerty earns commission and fee revenue for the underwriting, sale and servicing of classic car and enthusiast vehicle and marine insurance policies written through personal and commercial lines agency agreements with multiple insurance carriers in the United States ("U.S."), Canada and the United Kingdom ("U.K.").

Hagerty Re reinsures the classic car and enthusiast vehicle and marine risks written through Hagerty's MGA entities in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. • The policies sold by Hagerty's U.S. MGAs are underwritten by Essentia Insurance Company ("Essentia") and reinsured with Essentia's affiliate, Evanston Insurance Company ("Evanston"). In turn, Hagerty Re a ssumes a portion of the risk and earns premiums through a quota share agreement with Evanston. Essentia and Evanston are wholly owned subsidiaries of Markel Corporation ("Markel"), which is a related party. Refer to Note 19 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information. • The policies sold by Hagerty's Canadian MGA are underwritten by Aviva Canada Inc.

In turn, Hagerty Re assumes a portion of the risk and earns premiums through a quota share agreement with Elite. • The policies sold by Hagerty's U.K. MGA are underwritten by Markel International Insurance Company Limited ("Markel International"). In turn, Hagerty Re assumes a portion of the risk and earns premiums through a quota share agreement with Markel International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Markel, which is a related party. Refer to Note 19 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information. As U.K. law requires unlimited liability coverage, Hagerty Re purchases reinsurance to limit its liability to £1,000,000 per claim. The Company earns subscription revenue through HDC membership offerings. HDC memberships are sold as a bundled product which give Members access to a number of products and services, including Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, Hagerty's proprietary vehicle valuation tool, emergency roadside services and special vehicle-related discounts. The Company earns fee-based revenue from its Marketplace offerings, which include the buying and selling of collector cars through classified listings, live auctions, time-based online auctions, and brokered private sales. In addition, Marketplace earns finance revenue from term loans made to high-net-worth individuals and businesses secured by collector cars. In January 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture with Broad Arrow Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Broad Arrow"), pursuant to which Hagerty invested $15.3 million in cash in exchange for equity ownership of approximately 40% of Broad Arrow. Then, in August 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 60% equity interest in Broad Arrow in exchange for approximately $73.3 million of equity consideration consisting of Class A Common Stock and limited liability units in The Hagerty Group ("Hagerty Group Units"). As a result of this acquisition, the Company and Broad Arrow expect to further leverage their respective product offerings and continue to build Marketplace. Refer to Note 6 — Acquisitions and Investments for additional information. The Company also owns and operates collector vehicle events, including The Amelia and Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, through which revenue is earned from ticket sales and sponsorships.

Basis of Presentation — The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Hagerty, Inc., which is comprised of The Hagerty Group with its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as permitted by such rules and regulations. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Principles of Consolidation — The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain the accounts of Hagerty, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. The Company is the sole managing member of The Hagerty Group and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of The Hagerty Group. The Company had economic ownership of 24.6% and 24.5% of The Hagerty Group as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, Member Hubs Holding, LLC ("MHH"), which operates as Hagerty Garage + Social, is an 80% owned subsidiary of The Hagerty Group. The Company consolidates these entities under the voting interest method guidance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidations ("ASC 810"). Non-controlling interest is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. From January 2022 to August 2022, the Company owned approximately 40% of the outstanding equity interest of Broad Arrow and accounted for it as an equity method investment. Subsequent to the acquisition of the remaining 60% equity interest in Broad Arrow in August 2022, Broad Arrow became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and, as a result, the financial statements of Broad Arrow are now consolidated as a part of Hagerty. Refer to Note 6 — Acquisitions and Investments for additional information. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Business Combination — On December 2, 2021, (the "Closing"), The Hagerty Group completed a business combination with Aldel Financial, Inc. ("Aldel"), and Aldel Merger Sub LLC ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Aldel (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the Closing, Aldel changed its name from Aldel Financial Inc. to Hagerty, Inc. Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination , there were 82,327,466 shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock outstanding , 251,033,906 shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock outstanding, and 20,005,550 warrants outstanding which can be converted on a one-for-one basis into Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock . Refer to Note 16 — Warrant Liabilities for additional information related to the warrants. Following the Closing, the Company is organized as a C corporation and owns an equity interest in The Hagerty Group in what is commonly known as an "Up-C" structure in which substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are held by The Hagerty Group. Emerging Growth Company — The Company currently qualifies as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies. The Company intends to avail itself of this extended transition period and, therefore, the Company may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or have opted out of using such extended transition period. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are considered reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Segment Information — The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company’s management approach is to utilize an internally developed strategic decision making framework with its Members at the center of all decisions, which requires the CODM to have a consolidated view of the operations so that decisions can be made in the best interest of Hagerty and its Members. Foreign Currency Translation — The Company translates its foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and foreign currency denominated income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in "Foreign currency translation adjustments", a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized within "Interest and other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Supplemental Cash Flow Information — The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and 2022: March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 in thousands Cash and cash equivalents $ 63,367 $ 237,590 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 444,024 324,605 Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents $ 507,391 $ 562,195 Supplemental cash flow information is shown in the table below: Three months ended 2023 2022 NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES: in thousands Purchase of property and equipment and software $ 1,061 $ 4,580 CASH PAID FOR: Interest $ 2,279 $ 766 Income taxes $ — $ 3,100 Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases — In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASC 842, which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). ASC 842 requires the recognition of an asset and liability for the rights and obligations created by a leased asset, whether classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and elected not to recast comparative prior year periods. Upon adoption, the Company measured and recorded its operating lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining rental payments. Corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") assets were recorded based on the amount of the lease liabilities, adjusted by any unamortized lease incentives, deferred rent accruals and initial direct costs. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of initial ROU assets and lease liabilities of $72.8 million as of January 1, 2022. ASC 842 also requires sellers in a sale-leaseback transaction to recognize the entire gain from the sale of an underlying asset at the time of sale rather than over the leaseback term. The carrying value of the deferred gain on the single sale-leaseback transaction executed by the Company prior to January 1, 2022 was approximately $4.3 million and was recorded as an increase to "Accumulated Earnings (Deficit)" and "Non-controlling Interest" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity at adoption. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients provided by ASC 842, which allowed it to: (1) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contained leases, (ii) not reassess previous lease classification, and (iii) not revalue initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also elected the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components in the accounting for leases of all asset classes. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The expense of operating leases under ASC 842 is generally recognized on a straight-line basis which is calculated as the total lease cost divided by the lease term and is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Credit Losses — In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which amends previously issued guidance regarding the impairment of financial instruments by creating an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The standard requires financial assets measured on the amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The following financial assets held by the Company are within the scope of ASU No. 2016-13: (i) Accounts receivable, (ii) Premiums receivable, (iii) Commissions receivable, (iv) Notes receivable and (v) certain fixed income securities. The amount of any required allowance for expected credit losses is determined utilizing historical loss rates, which are then adjusted, if necessary, for specific financial assets that are judged to have a higher-than-normal risk profile. Additional credit loss allowances may also be recorded after taking into account macro-economic and industry risk factors. For Notes receivable, to the extent necessary, the amount of any required allowance for credit losses takes into account the estimated realizable value of the collateral securing the loan. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 without a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and with no required cumulative-effect adjustment to "Accumulated earnings (deficit)" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity |
