Note 1 Significant Reporting and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation ("Infinity") is a holding company that provides insurance through its subsidiaries for personal auto with a concentration on nonstandard risks, commercial auto and classic collectors. Although licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, we focus on select states that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
Basis of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2017.
These financial statements reflect certain adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. Such adjustments consist of normal, recurring accruals recorded to accurately match expenses with their related revenue streams and the elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and balances.
We have evaluated events that occurred after June 30, 2018 and through July 30, 2018 (the date on which Kemper Corporation ("Kemper") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included, as Exhibit 99.4, our Supplementary Financial Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2018), for recognition or disclosure in our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
Schedules may not foot due to rounding.

We based certain accounts and balances within these financial statements upon our estimates and assumptions. The amount of reserves for claims not yet paid, for example, is an item that we can only record by estimation. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments are subject to market fluctuations, and we use judgment in the determination of whether unrealized losses on certain securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. Should actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the effect on our results of operations could be material. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of our results for the entire year.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2018 the FASB issued an ASU allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and consequently eliminating the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We elected to early adopt the ASU and applied the amendment in the period of adoption, with a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.4 million reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
In October 2016 the FASB issued an ASU related to the recognition of income tax on intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance requires the income tax to be recognized when the transfer occurs rather than when the asset is sold to
an outside party. We adopted the change on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment of less than $(0.1) million recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
Note 1 Significant Reporting and Accounting Policies (continued)
In January 2016 the FASB issued an ASU amending the guidance on classifying and measuring financial instruments. The guidance requires equity securities to be measured at fair value and changes in that fair value to be recognized through net income. We adopted the change on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2018, with a cumulative-effect adjustment of $17.7 million reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
In May 2014 the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. Insurance contracts were excluded from the scope of the guidance. As an insurance-entity, we are largely exempt from the provisions of this standard, with only fee income subject to this new standard. Processing and policy fees were generally earned at the inception of the policy under previous guidance but are earned over the life of the policy under current guidance. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2018, using a full retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet, which reduced shareholders' equity by $4.5 million.
The following table illustrates the effect of adopting this standard on the Consolidated Balance Sheets ($ in millions):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017 the FASB issued an ASU related to the amortization of premium on purchased callable debt securities. The guidance amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Securities that contain explicit, noncontingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates should shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date (and if the call option is not exercised, the effective yield is reset using the payment terms of the debt security). The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2016 the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for credit losses. The guidance generally requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be recognized as an allowance rather than as a reduction to the amortized cost of a security. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within the year of adoption, with prospective application of the ASU required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized before the implementation date. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2016 the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and is to be applied retrospectively, with an option to use a modified retrospective approach for leases which commenced prior to the effective date of this ASU. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3 Fair Value
Fair values of instruments are based on:
| |
(i) | quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); |
| |
(ii) | 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); or |
| |
(iii) | valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace (Level 3). |

Note 3 Fair Value (continued)
We do not report our long-term debt at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $281.9 million and $290.8 million fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, would be included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if it were reported at fair value.
Level 1 includes cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equities held in a rabbi trust which funds our Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP). Level 2 includes securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments; (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs; and (iii) securities, other than those backed by the U.S. Government, that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). We recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A third party nationally recognized pricing service provides the fair value of securities in Level 2. A summary of the significant valuation techniques and market inputs for each class of security follows:
U.S. Government: In determining the fair value for U.S. Government securities we use the market approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data and industry and economic events.
Foreign governments: In determining the fair value for foreign government securities we use the market approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.
State and municipal: In determining the fair value for state and municipal securities we use the market approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data and industry and economic events.
Mortgage-backed securities: In determining the fair value for mortgage-backed securities we use the market approach and to a lesser extent the income approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data, industry and economic events and monthly payment information.
Asset-backed securities: In determining the fair value for asset-backed securities we use the market approach and to a lesser extent the income approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads, reference data, industry and economic events, monthly payment information and collateral performance.
Corporate: In determining the fair value for corporate securities we use the market approach. The primary inputs to the valuation include reported trades, dealer quotes for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, credit spreads (for investment grade securities), observations of equity and credit default swap curves (for high-yield corporates), reference data and industry and economic events.
We review the third party pricing methodologies quarterly and test for significant differences between the market price used to value the security and recent sales activity.

Of the $20.2 million fair value of securities in Level 3 at June 30, 2018, which consisted of nine securities, we priced three based on non-binding broker quotes, two were priced based on our unaffiliated money manager and four securities, which were included in Level 3 because they were not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, were priced by a nationally recognized pricing service.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, seven securities were purchased and are new issues. One security, which was an exchange of a rated municipal bond for an unrated refunded bond, was transferred from Level 2 into Level 3. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, one security, which was an exchange of a rated municipal bond for an unrated refunded bond, was transferred from Level 2 into Level 3. There were no transfers of securities between Levels 1 and 2.
The gains or losses included in net earnings are included in the line item "Net realized (losses) gains on investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We recognize the net gains or losses included in other comprehensive income in the line item "Unrealized (losses) gains on investments, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the line item "Change in unrealized gain on investments" or the line item "Change in non-credit component of impairment losses on fixed maturities" in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Note 4 Investments
We consider all fixed maturity and equity securities to be available-for-sale and report them at fair value. Net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities prior to January 1, 2018, and on fixed maturities are reported after-tax (net of any valuation allowance) as a component of other comprehensive income. As of January 1, 2018, changes in fair value of equity securities are recognized through net income. The proceeds from sales of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, were $78.5 million and $414.1 million, respectively, while the proceeds from sales of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, were $86.5 million and $128.6 million, respectively. The proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 2018, were net of $0.1 million of receivable for securities sold as of June 30, 2018. There was no receivable for unsettled sales as of June 30, 2017.
Gross gains of $0.3 million and gross losses of $0.9 million were realized on sales of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with gross gains of $2.3 million and gross losses of $0.4 million realized on sales during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Gross gains of $3.2 million and gross losses of $2.4 million were realized on sales of available-for-sale securities during the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with gross gains of $3.0 million and gross losses of $0.6 million realized on sales during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Gains or losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

Note 4 Investments (continued)
The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors we considered and resources we used in our determination include:
| |
• | whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates; |
| |
• | the length of time the security’s market value has been below its cost; |
| |
• | the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis; |
| |
• | the intent to sell the security; |
| |
• | whether it is more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the security before its anticipated recovery; |
| |
• | historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings; |
| |
• | near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry; |
| |
• | industry research and communications with industry specialists; and |
| |
• | third-party research and credit rating reports. |
We regularly evaluate for potential impairment each security position that has either of the following: a fair value of less than 95% of its book value or an unrealized loss that equals or exceeds $100,000.
The following table summarizes those securities with unrealized gains or losses (2018 includes fixed maturity securities only):

For fixed maturity securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired, we assess our intent to sell and the likelihood that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost. If a fixed maturity security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired but we do not intend to and are not more than likely to be required to sell the security before our recovery to amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is separated into a credit loss component and the amount due to all other factors ("non-credit component"). The excess of the amortized cost over the present value of the expected cash flows determines the credit loss component of an impairment charge on a fixed maturity security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at (i) the effective interest rate implicit at the date of acquisition for non-structured securities; or (ii) the book yield for structured securities. The techniques and assumptions for determining the best estimate of cash flows vary depending on the type of security. We recognize the credit loss component of an impairment charge in net earnings and the non-credit component in accumulated other comprehensive income. If we intend to sell or will, more likely than not, be required to sell a security, the entire amount of the impairment is treated as a credit loss.
For our securities held with unrealized losses, we believe, based on our analysis, that we will recover our cost basis in these securities and we do not intend to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the securities before they recover in value.

In September 2012 we issued $275 million principal of senior notes due September 2022 (the “5.0% Senior Notes”). The 5.0% Senior Notes accrue interest at 5.0%, payable semiannually. At the time we issued the 5.0% Senior Notes, we capitalized $2.2 million of debt issuance costs, which we are amortizing over the term of the 5.0% Senior Notes. We calculated the June 30, 2018, fair value of $281.9 million using a 148 basis point spread to the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note of 2.862%.
In August 2017 we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that required us to meet certain financial and other covenants. We closed the credit facility as of June 26, 2018.

Negative Cash Book Balances
Negative cash book balances, included in the line item “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $50.3 million and $49.7 million at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Income Taxes
Our GAAP effective tax rate was 21.7% and 20.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared with 23.4% and 27.5%, respectively, for the same periods of 2017. The GAAP effective tax rate has decreased in 2018 primarily as a result of the enacted tax rate change from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). Refer to Note 6 – Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income taxes. The TCJA also changed the interest rate used to calculate the discounted tax loss reserves and required the setup of a transition liability to be ratably recognized in income over eight years. Since neither the new interest rate nor the discount factors have been published by the Internal Revenue Service, we believe that the estimates used to calculate the deferred tax asset and liability relating to these two items as of December 31, 2017, continue to be reasonable estimates under SAB 118.

The $3.6 million of favorable reserve development during the three months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily due to decreases in estimates on accident years 2014-2017 from Florida, driven by lower ultimate severity estimates in personal injury protection coverage. The $12.5 million of favorable reserve development during the six months ended June 30, 2018, included the above improvements from Florida personal injury protection, along with lower estimates from collision and comprehensive coverages in accident year 2017 due to lower ultimate frequency and severity estimates from California and lower ultimate frequencies from Florida.
The $6.7 million and $13.1 million of favorable reserve development during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, was primarily due to decreases in ultimate frequency and severity estimates in California along with lower ultimate frequency estimates in Florida related to material damage and uninsured motorists bodily injury coverages for accident year 2016. This favorable development was partially offset by increases in ultimate severity estimates in bodily injury and personal injury protection coverages in our commercial auto product as well as from personal injury protection in our personal auto product.
Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
There have been no material changes from the commitments discussed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. For a description of our previously reported commitments, refer to Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Contingencies
From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits incidental to our insurance operations. We consider legal actions relating to claims made in the ordinary course of seeking indemnification for a loss covered by the insurance policy in establishing loss and LAE reserves.
We also face in the ordinary course of business lawsuits that seek damages beyond policy limits, commonly known as extra-contractual claims, as well as class action and individual lawsuits that involve issues not unlike those facing other insurance companies and employers.
We continually evaluate potential liabilities and reserves for litigation of these types using the criteria established by the Contingencies topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Under this guidance, we may only record reserves for a loss if the likelihood of occurrence is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount or range of the loss. When disclosing litigation or claims where a material loss is judged to be reasonably possible, we will disclose an estimated range of loss or state that an estimate cannot be made. We consider each legal action using this guidance and record reserves for losses as warranted by establishing a reserve captured within our Consolidated Balance Sheets line-items “Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses” for extra-contractual claims and “Other liabilities” for class action and other non-claims related lawsuits. We record amounts incurred on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings within “Losses and loss adjustment expenses” for extra-contractual claims and “Other expenses” for class action and other non-claims related lawsuits.
Certain claims and regulatory or legal actions have been threatened or brought against us for which we have accrued no loss, and for which an estimate of a possible range of loss cannot be made under the above rules. While it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits, we do not believe they are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or liquidity. However, losses incurred because of these cases could have a material adverse impact on net earnings in a given period.
As of June 30, 2018, pending putative (i.e., not certified) class action lawsuits that challenge certain of Infinity’s business operations and practices included the following:
| |
• | a challenge to denial of personal injury protection benefits to a class of injured third parties in vehicle accidents. |
| |
• | a challenge to our payment of a percentage of arbitration awards to collection agencies in successful intercompany arbitrations. |
| |
• | allegations that we are obligated to reimburse Medicare or secondary payers for accident-related medical payments in which personal injury protection benefits were denied. |
In addition to lawsuits, regulatory bodies, including state insurance departments and the Securities and Exchange Commission, among others, may make inquiries, investigate consumer complaints or conduct on-site examinations concerning specific business practices or compliance more generally. Such inquiries, investigations or examinations have in the past and may in the future directly or indirectly result in regulatory orders requiring remedial, injunctive or other actions or the assessment of substantial fines or other penalties.
For a description of previously reported contingencies, refer to Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Note 11 Segment Information
We manage our business based on product line and have three operating segments: Personal Auto, Commercial Auto and Classic Collector (our reportable segments are Personal Auto and Commercial Auto).
Our Personal Auto product provides coverage to individuals for liability to others for bodily injury and property damage and for physical damage to an insured's own vehicle from collision and various other perils. In addition, some states require policies to provide for first party personal injury protection, frequently referred to as no-fault coverage.
Our Commercial Auto product provides coverage to businesses for liability to others for bodily injury and property damage and for physical damage to vehicles from collision and various other perils. We primarily target businesses with fleets of 10 or fewer vehicles and average 1.9 vehicles per policy. We avoid businesses that are involved in what we consider to be hazardous operations or interstate commerce.
Our Classic Collector product provides coverage to individuals with classic or antique automobiles for liability to others for bodily injury and property damage and for physical damage to an insured's own vehicle from collision and various other perils.

(1) Effective June 1, 2017, the premium paid for our excess of loss reinsurance contract for our commercial auto business was changed to be based on earned premium rather than written premium. Premium ceded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 includes the return of $2.6 million of unearned premium due to the termination of the previous excess of loss contract. |
Note 11 Segment Information (continued)
Our management uses underwriting income and combined ratios calculated on a statutory accident year basis as primary measures of profitability. Statutory accident year underwriting income is calculated by subtracting losses and loss adjustment expenses and commissions and other underwriting expenses (including bad debt charge-offs on agents' balances and premium receivables) from the total of earned premium and installment and other fee income. The statutory accident year combined ratio represents the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and LAE incurred, excluding development from prior accident years, as a percentage of net earned premium; and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred, including bad debt and net of fees, as a percentage of net written premium.
The primary differences between the calculation of the statutory accident year used by management and the statutory calendar year combined ratios is the exclusion of bad debt charge-offs and the inclusion of development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves.
Certain expenses are treated differently under statutory accounting principles. Under GAAP, commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with successfully writing new and renewal business are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premium is earned. On a statutory basis, these items are expensed as incurred. Additionally, bad debt charge-offs on agents' balances and premium receivables are included in the GAAP combined ratios.
The following tables present the underwriting income and combined ratio on a statutory accident year basis with reconciliations to "Earnings before income taxes" as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings ($ in thousands). We do not allocate assets or "Provision for income taxes" to operating segments.
