Current report

•An overall decline in the housing market or general economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of our business.

Current report

•Our ability to implement or adjust to technological changes, especially regarding artificial intelligence (“AI”), may be limited, or we could introduce technology containing errors, which may trigger regulatory actions or put us at a competitive disadvantage.

Current report

Our ability to write and retain policies is influenced by a range of local, national and global factors. Among these, the amount and types of policies we write depend on the regulatory environments in the states in which the Insurance Entities write policies. In particular, the Florida personal residential insurance market is experiencing significant transitions due to a series of law changes passed in December 2022 that were intended to address substantial market disruption.

Current report

Prior to the significant statutory reforms adopted by Florida in December 2022, the Florida residential property insurance market suffered from declining availability and increasing premiums among authorized insurers. This was attributable to elevated loss and LAE levels and related impacts on reinsurance pricing and availability. During this period, Citizens, Florida’s statutorily-created insurer that generally is intended to be the state’s market of last resort, instead became a market of choice as insurers limited writings and state laws capped Citizens’ annual rate increases at levels well below market levels.

Current report

Prior to the 2022 reforms, most residential property insurers in Florida, including the Insurance Entities, sought to limit their exposure to rising losses and LAE. Although the Insurance Entities faced little competition from authorized insurers during this period, the Insurance Entities’ own exposure management considerations led them to limit their new business intake. The Insurance Entities historically have enjoyed a high policyholder retention rate from year to year, both prior to the reforms and currently. Even so, the Company’s limited appetite for new business prior to the reforms led to a decline in its in-force Florida policy count. During this time, Citizens grew to become the largest insurer of residential property in Florida by a wide margin.

Current report

Since 2023, the Insurance Entities have gradually increased their appetite for new business in Florida. In both 2024 and 2025, the Insurance Entities filed and gained regulatory approval of statewide average rate decreases for their homeowners’ insurance programs. In addition, the Insurance Entities began to expand, and have continued to expand, the areas in Florida and the types of policies they seek to write. The Insurance Entities also implemented optional product updates for consumers seeking to evaluate their coverage and price options in Florida’s improving market.

Current report

Other established insurers also are expanding new business writings. In addition, a reported 17 new insurers have entered the Florida market in recent years. Unlike the Insurance Entities, some new and established insurers write business predominantly by assuming risks from Citizens. Altogether, renewed activity among authorized insurers has led to a decrease in Citizens’ policy count by approximately one million policies since the reforms. UPCIC has long been, and currently remains, one of the largest residential property insurers in Florida. Still, as the benefits of the reforms continue to emerge, new and existing competitors in the post-reform market often remain selective as to the policy types, locations, coverage limits or other characteristics of policies they write, leading to segmentation in the market. The degree of competition the Insurance Entities face in Florida therefore varies by policy type, region, and other factors.

Current report

Other states have experienced less disruption than Florida. The Insurance Entities therefore experience a high but stable degree of competition when entering and expanding into other states. In these states, the Insurance Entities often compete with national or regional insurers with greater experience in the specific markets. Our growth plan therefore includes developing relationships with the states’ independent agents and gradually expanding our presence as we gain familiarity with new markets. Over time, this has allowed our business outside of Florida to steadily increase as a percentage of our overall business.

Current report

The Insurance Entities’ loss and LAE experience on Florida claims has improved significantly for policies written after the statutory reforms. This is attributable to reduced incentives for policyholders, vendors and their representatives to pursue questionable, inflated and litigated claims. In addition, the Company’s own initiatives, coupled with enhanced claim-handling standards included in the reforms, have resulted in faster claims-handling times, process improvements and greater customer satisfaction.

Current report

The Company continues to experience higher costs associated with claims that pre-date the reforms. The remaining pre-reform claims typically are litigated claims that have resisted formal and informal efforts at dispute resolution. Although the number of claims subject to pre-reform laws continues to decline, it may be several years before all of them are resolved.

Current report

The Company has increasingly used video and other technology to facilitate review of damaged property and improve efficiency in the claims process. As technologies evolve, the Company continually evaluates and implements enhancements to streamline workflows and enhance the customer experience. The Company also regularly monitors regulatory developments pertaining to uses of technology, including oversight of AI in claims processes and other aspects of our operations.

Current report

Our business is affected by evolving domestic, national or global economic conditions, including the potential impact from tariffs and other inflationary pressures. Increased labor and materials costs can increase our claims costs. They can also have direct effects on our business, such as increasing the values of properties we insure and the corresponding premium levels, as well as indirect effects such as offsetting and diminishing the perceived benefits of the statutory reforms. We will continue to monitor our business model and strategy as economic conditions develop.

Current report

We also rely on global reinsurance markets to mitigate our exposure under policies we write. The availability and pricing of reinsurance can be influenced by global economic conditions such as inflation. Our ability to purchase desired levels of reinsurance at competitive prices also can be influenced by severe weather in Florida and elsewhere. Florida did not suffer a landfalling hurricane in 2025, which is a favorable consideration as we prepare for the mid-year renewal of our catastrophe reinsurance program. However, this benefit might be offset by reinsurers’ assessments of past and potential future events.

Current report

Across the United States, third-party financing contributes to expansion of claims litigation and vendors’ efforts to solicit claims. Some states have enacted laws intended to curtail or require disclosure of litigation financing. The largest state in which we write business, Florida, does not currently have any such laws. It is difficult to quantify the impact on losses, LAE and ultimately premium attributable to vendor-related financing and litigation financing.

Current report

•In late 2025, and continuing in 2026, the Insurance Entities resumed issuing homeowners policies in most of Florida, reversing previous trends, and filed for a 5.1% average rate decrease in the state while increasing rates elsewhere. New water damage coverage options helped boost policy growth in Florida. Rate changes, coverage choices, and inflation are affecting premiums. Management is focusing on risk selection and rate updates. Legislative changes in late 2022 have reduced litigation and improved market conditions in Florida.

Current report

•The total number of policies in force across all states, including Florida, rose by 50,489 or 5.8%, as of March 31, 2025. Florida saw an increase of 16,282 policies or 2.9%, while other states grew by 34,207 policies or 11.3%.

Current report

•Net investment income increased in the first quarter of 2026 to $19.5 million an increase of $3.4 million or 21.3%, compared to $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, due to an increase in the book yield and an increase in invested assets.

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income rose to $54.3 million from $41.4 million in 2025, with diluted EPS increasing to $1.88 from $1.44. Growth in premiums earned, net, investment income, realized gains, and policy fees, combined with total lower operating costs and expenses, contributed to improved performance. Higher unrealized losses and lower commission revenue impacted results in the first quarter of 2026. While losses and LAE costs were reduced, these were partially offset by increases in acquisition costs and other operating costs and expenses. The net loss ratio declined to 63.9% from 70.5% in 2025, and the combined ratio was 89.7%, down from 95.0% in 2025. No catastrophe events or prior-year reserve developments occurred in either period. See the“Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends”section for more information.

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, direct premiums written totaled $506.5 million, representing an increase of $39.5 million or 8.5%. This growth was due to a $22.6 million or 18.3%, increase from other states and a $16.9 million or 4.9%, increase in Florida compared to the same period in 2025. The growth in first-quarter 2026 direct written premiums were primarily driven by strategic expansion in Florida and other key markets. This increase reflects organic policies-in-force growth associated with increased marketing initiatives, new product offerings, and opening additional territories. Premium is also affected by rate actions taken in all states. Policies in force were 915,306 on March 31, 2026, an increase of 19,379 or 2.2%, from December 31, 2025, and an increase of 50,489 or 5.8%, from March 31, 2025. Details on recent rate changes impacting premiums are discussed in “Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends.”

Current report

In late 2025, the Insurance Entities resumed accepting new business throughout Florida, except for the Florida Keys, for all homeowners and dwelling policy forms, thereby reversing previous trends. Additionally, in 2025, the Insurance Entities submitted filings for an overall rate reduction of 5.1% on homeowners policies within Florida. Conversely, outside Florida, Insurance Entities continued to pursue rate increases, averaging 10.4% during 2025.

Current report

Also in late 2025, in Florida, the Insurance Entities introduced new policy coverage options affecting water damage limits and premiums. These endorsements have strengthened the competitive position of Insurance Entities within the state, contributing to increased growth in new business policies for 2026. Policyholders now have the flexibility to reduce their water damage coverage in exchange for premium credits that reflect adjusted loss limits.

Current report

The introduction of these new water limit options, together with the 2025 rate reduction, has enhanced the Insurance Entities’ competitiveness in Florida and resulted in growth in new business production in 2026 in Florida. Rate filings and automatic inflation adjustments to policy values continue to influence both written and earned premiums for renewals and new policies. Management remains dedicated to optimizing risk selection, improving geographic diversification, and making necessary revisions to filed rate plans.

Current report

The Insurance Entities continue to write new business in most Florida areas for all homeowners and dwelling policies. Management continues to refine policy features, risk selection, diversification, and rate plans. Increased competition and improved loss trends in Florida, helped by 2022 legislative reforms, are reducing litigation costs and supporting market recovery.

Current report

Rate changes are applied at policy inception or renewal and reflect claim cost trends, including material, labor, weather events, reinsurance, and litigated claims. Rate adjustments often lag actual experience due to analysis and implementation delays. Coverage limits are updated at renewal to keep pace with inflation, based on industry data. See “Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends and Summary of Recent Rate Changes.”

Previous report

•We may not be able to effectively implement or adapt to changes in technology, particularly with respect to artificial intelligence, which may result in interruptions to our business or even in a competitive disadvantage.

Previous report

As insurance availability declined among admitted insurers prior to the statutory reforms, Citizens’ policy count increased from below 500,000 in mid-2020 to more than 1.4 million in 2023. Citizens’ ability to adjust rates is limited by law. Therefore, while Citizens was created to be the residual property insurance market in Florida, in periods of increasing premiums its policies may be priced lower than those in the admitted market. This causes Citizens, for many policy types and areas of Florida, to become viewed as a desirable lower-cost alternative to the admitted market. Even as the Florida market shows signs of improvement, this might continue for several years due to statutory and potential public policy limitations on Citizens’ ability to adjust rates. The Insurance Entities’ competitive position compared to Citizens, and the competitive position of the admitted market as a whole, might improve over the next several years as Citizens’ rate levels continue to adjust, more policies reach Citizens’ maximum limits due to replacement cost increases, and more of Citizens’ policyholders become subject to a statutory requirement to purchase flood insurance.

Previous report

Law changes adopted in December 2022 sought to curtail certain claimants’ abusive claims practices against insurance carriers, which contributed substantially to the Florida market’s previous problems. Among the reforms, the Florida Legislature eliminated policyholders’ former one-way statutory right to attorneys’ fees and eliminated the ability of policyholders to assign their insurance benefits to third parties. The Florida Legislature also reduced the post-loss time period for submitting claims to one year as contrasted with prior laws permitting claims to be reported two years or even three years after loss events, which led to extended solicitations of claims by contractors, public adjusters, and attorneys and created challenges for insurers in evaluating the cause and amount of the late-reported claims. These law changes and other related measures have reduced expected loss and loss adjustment expenses for recent exposure periods, which should lead to insurers’ base rate levels flattening and starting to decline. The law changes also enhanced service standards for the benefit of policyholders through faster claims-response requirements, increased penalties for non-compliance, enhanced regulatory oversight of insurers’ financial conditions and holding company systems, and other consumer protections.

Previous report

Although the Insurance Entities’ number of remaining claims subject to pre-reform laws continues to decline, it will be several years before all of these claims are settled or brought to an adjudicated conclusion. We are optimistic that the legislative reforms will continue to gradually improve the Florida claims environment as claims associated with the pre-reform era continue to be resolved and more of the Insurance Entities’ claims benefit from the reforms.

Previous report

The evolving impacts of the reforms are altering the competitive landscape in the Florida residential property insurance market. Favorable effects of the reforms led many insurers, including us, to file overall average base rates in 2024 and 2025 equal to or slightly lower than the prior year's rates. The impact of the reforms varies by territory, as different areas of Florida historically have had different incidences of represented and litigation claims most affected by the reforms. Rate levels also remain subject to broad considerations affecting the insurance industry or the economy as a whole, such as inflation affecting labor and materials and litigation financing.

Previous report

In addition, the reforms have prompted many admitted market insurers, including the Company, to expand the availability of products. Approximately 17 new insurers have also entered the market since the reforms were enacted. Expanded writings by existing and new admitted market insurers have led to Citizens’ policy count declining from its October 2023 peak of 1.4 million policies to approximately 770,000 policies as of September 2025. Citizens projects that it will have fewer than 700,000 policies by the end of 2025. With the benefits of the reforms continuing to emerge, new and existing competitors in the post-reform market often remain selective as to the policy types, locations, coverage limits or other characteristics of policies they write, leading to segmentation in the market. The degree of competition in the evolving Florida market therefore varies by territory, policy form and other factors. As a result, our ability to write the volume or types of policies we seek differs by territory, policy type and other characteristics and is changing as the market evolves.

Previous report

Evolving domestic, national or global economic conditions, including the potential impact from tariffs, also may affect our business model, particularly by applying inflationary pressure on our costs for settling claims and the rate-making process. Additionally, interest rate uncertainty driven by Federal Reserve actions related to inflationary trends and federal deficits could present further financial challenges. We will continue to monitor our business model and strategy as these events develop.

Previous report

Our ability to successfully transact business in the Florida market is influenced by regulatory policies and processes in the state. Rate filings largely rely upon past loss and expense data and take time to develop, file and implement. In both rising and declining premium environments, we therefore can experience significant delays between identifying needed rate adjustments, filing the associated rate changes, and ultimately collecting and earning the resulting adjusted premiums. This challenge can be compounded following active hurricane seasons as regulatory directives may preclude filing or implementing rate changes. Further, the ultimate effectiveness of Florida’s reforms is still unknown and difficult to quantify, especially because future market conditions or claims patterns might differ from recent or past experience. This uncertainty can be compounded by other anticipated changes affecting rating or risk selection, such as FLOIR’s anticipated implementation of updated windstorm mitigation discounts. The effects of a revised discount program currently are unknown and difficult to predict both at the individual policy level and at the aggregate level with respect to insurers’ competitive positions. Similarly, the Company evaluates and periodically adjusts its policy forms in response to market factors and competitive considerations. While policy form changes can be beneficial in the Company’s risk management initiatives, like with rate adjustments, we can experience delays between identifying desired changes, filing, and gaining regulatory approval of the changes, and implementing the new forms.

Previous report

Our ability to adapt to changes in a transitional market that is experiencing areas of increased competition can influence our effectiveness in writing new policies, retaining existing policies, managing costs in relation to premium and maintaining our longstanding competitive position in the state.

Previous report

The Company updates its claims-handling procedures over time in response to market trends. The Company has adopted and continually refines initiatives to adjust and pay straightforward, meritorious claims as promptly as possible to mitigate the adverse impacts that can be seen with claims that remain open for longer periods. The Company also has increasingly used video and other technology to facilitate reviews of damaged property and improve efficiency in the claims process. In addition, we have developed in-house expertise to respond to emerging claims, trends, or specialized types of claims such as water damage claims, represented claims, and large-loss claims. The Company has established significant in-house legal services to address litigated or represented claims as cost-effectively as possible. The Company's legal claims department includes a team focused on identifying and collecting subrogation. Subrogation enables the Company to recover payments from at-fault parties, reducing losses for both policyholders and the Company when third-party damages occur.

Previous report

While no major storm has made landfall in 2025 to date, the active 2024 hurricane season demonstrated the benefits of the statutory reforms as Florida experienced three land-falling storms without significant setbacks to the emerging competitive environment, the general moderation and reduction of rate levels, or the improved availability and pricing of reinsurance. Nonetheless, hurricanes and other large loss events reduce insurers’ surplus and can limit capacity for writing additional policies even in an improving market. This can moderate the impact of the reforms compared to hurricane-free periods in which insurers and reinsurers can more readily replenish and deploy capital. The full impact of the law changes on our operational initiatives and associated costs is unknown and may evolve differently following an active hurricane season than in a non-catastrophe environment. We will continue to monitor these impacts and market conditions on recording and reporting of claims costs, rate levels, and competitive conditions.

Previous report

In addition to our key performance indicators and other financial measures presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), management also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance and the overall growth in value generated for the Company’s common shareholders. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, help to explain the Company’s results to investors in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with

Previous report

GAAP. The calculation of these key financial measures including the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure are found below under“―Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Previous report

Definitions of Key Performance Indicators and GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

Previous report

Adjusted book value per common share ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as adjusted common stockholders’ equity divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying book value growth by excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses due to interest rate volatility.

Previous report

Adjusted common stockholders’ equity ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as GAAP common stockholders' equity less accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying growth in stockholders’ equity by excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses due to interest rate volatility.

Previous report

Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders, less net realized gains (losses) on investments and net changes in unrealized gains (losses) on equity investments, net of tax. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying profitability and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

Previous report

Adjusted operating income (loss) ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as GAAP operating income (loss), less net realized gains (losses) on investments and net changes in unrealized gains (losses) on equity investments. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying profitability and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

Previous report

Adjusted operating income (loss) margin ― is a non-GAAP measure that is computed as adjusted operating income (loss) divided by core revenue. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying profitability and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

Previous report

Adjusted return on common equity (Adjusted “ROCE”) ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as actual or annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by average adjusted common stockholders’ equity, with the denominator excluding current period income statement net realized gains (losses) on investments and net changes in unrealized gains (losses) on equity investments, net of tax. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying profitability and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

Previous report

Core revenue ― is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as total GAAP revenue, less net realized gains (losses) on investments and net changes in unrealized gains (losses) on equity investments. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying revenue trends and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

Previous report

Diluted adjusted earnings per common share ―is a non-GAAP measure, which is calculated as adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Management believes this metric is meaningful, as it allows investors to evaluate underlying profitability and enhances comparability across periods by excluding items that are heavily impacted by investment market fluctuations and other economic factors and are not indicative of operating trends.

We seek to achieve long-term rate adequacy and earnings for the Insurance Entities while managing our risks through market cycles and looking to take advantage of what we believe to be market opportunities. Prior to significant statutory reforms adopted in December 2022, the Florida personal lines residential insurance market experienced distressed conditions wherein insurance companies’ major costs items, such as losses, LAE and reinsurance, increased and led to rising premiums and reduced product availability for consumers. In addition to taking steps to adjust rate levels, manage exposures and refine our prospective outlook of expected losses, we recorded adverse claim development on prior years’ loss reserves to address the impacts of Florida’s market disruptions on claim cost trends.

Previous wording

The ultimate long-term benefits of Florida’s statutory reforms are unknown and difficult to predict. If future court decisions negatively impact the reforms or other aspects of the residential property insurance business, recent improvements in the market could be moderated or reversed. In addition, the Florida political environment, prevailing sentiment among policymakers or the public, and economic factors beyond insurers’ control may directly or indirectly mitigate the effectiveness of recent reforms. These influences can mask the reforms’ benefits or diminish their perceived effectiveness even when the market shows objective signs of improvement through moderating rate levels, increased product availability and competition, and reductions in Citizens’ policy count. Over time, these political or external influences can result in policymakers questioning the merits of the reforms, considering proposals to reverse them, or pursuing other law changes or interpretations that could negate improvements in the Florida market and renew concerns with rising costs and reduced availability.

Core Losses and Core Loss Ratio ― a common operational metric used in the insurance industry to describe the ratio of current accident year expected losses and LAE, excluding current accident year weather events beyond those expected, to premiums earned. Core loss ratio is an important measure identifying profitability trends of premiums in force. Core losses consist of losses and LAE excluding current accident year weather events beyond those expected and prior years’ reserve development. The financial benefit from the management of claims, including claim fees ceded to reinsurers, is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to core losses. The core loss ratio can be measured on a direct basis, using direct earned premiums, or on a net basis, using premiums earned, net (i.e., direct premiums earned less ceded premiums earned).

Reinsurance enables our Insurance Entities to limit potential exposures to catastrophic events. Developing and implementing our reinsurance strategy to adequately protect our policyholders, balance sheet, and Insurance Entities in the event of one or more catastrophes while maintaining efficient reinsurance costs has been our key strategic priority. To limit the Insurance Entities’ potential exposure to catastrophic events, we purchase significant reinsurance from third-party reinsurers and the FHCF. The FLOIR requires the Insurance Entities, like all residential property insurance companies doing business in Florida, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage to cover losses upon the occurrence of a single catastrophic event and a series of catastrophic events occurring in the same hurricane season. The Insurance Entities’ 2025-2026 catastrophe reinsurance program meets the FLOIR’s requirements, which are based on, among other things, successfully demonstrating cohesive and comprehensive reinsurance coverages that protect the policyholders of our Insurance Entities under a series of stress test catastrophe loss scenarios. Similarly, the Insurance Entities’ 2025-2026 catastrophe reinsurance programs meet the stress test and review requirements of Demotech, Inc., for maintaining Financial Stability Ratings® of A (Exceptional) and of Kroll for maintaining insurer financial strength rating of “A-”.

We believe the Insurance Entities’ retentions under the jointly shared reinsurance program is appropriate and structured to protect policyholders and the Insurance Entities’ capital structure. We test the sufficiency of the catastrophe reinsurance coverage by subjecting the Insurance Entities’ personal residential exposures to scenario testing using third-party catastrophe models. These models combine simulations of the natural occurrence patterns and characteristics of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other catastrophes with information on property values, construction types, and occupancy classes. These models’ outputs provide information concerning the potential for simulated large losses, which enables the Insurance Entities to limit the financial impact from catastrophic events. Refer to the risk factors disclosed in“Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors,” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for details of specific risks attributable to catastrophic losses and reinsurance.

Other comprehensive income, net of taxes for 2025 was $32.4 million compared to other comprehensive income of $28.6 million for 2024 reflecting after-tax changes in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities held in our investment portfolio and reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for available-for-sale debt securities sold. The improvement in 2025 reflects favorable shifts in market prices during 2025 compared to 2024. During 2025, maturing debt securities and investment returns were reinvested at market rates, reducing unrealized losses on maturing debt securities. The maturity of the remaining debt securities in an unrealized loss position has also reduced during the year. Over time, unrealized losses on debt securities in an unrealized loss position lessen as the remaining maturity shortens and debt securities approach their maturity or par value. See the discussion above and“Item 1—Note 11 (Other Comprehensive Income (Loss))” for additional information about the amounts comprising other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes for these periods and“Item 1—Note 3 (Investments)” for explanations on changes in investments.
