Notes Accompanying the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms "Hagerty," and the "Company" refer to Hagerty, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including The Hagerty Group, LLC ("THG"), unless the context requires otherwise. In addition, the Company's insurance policyholders and paid Hagerty Drivers Club ("HDC") subscribers are collectively referred to as "Members".
Description of Business — Hagerty is a market leader in providing insurance for collector cars and enthusiast vehicles. Through Hagerty's insurance model, the Company acts as a Managing General Agent ("MGA") by underwriting, selling, and servicing collector car and enthusiast vehicle insurance policies. The Company then reinsures approximately 80% of the risks written by its MGA subsidiaries through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hagerty Reinsurance Limited ("Hagerty Re"). In addition, Hagerty offers HDC memberships, which are primarily bundled with its insurance policies and give subscribers access to an array of products and services, including emergency roadside assistance, Hagerty Drivers Club Magazine, automotive enthusiast events, Hagerty's proprietary vehicle valuation tool, and special vehicle-related discounts. The Company also offers a marketplace to complement its insurance membership offerings where automotive enthusiasts can buy, sell, and finance collector cars and enthusiast vehicles.
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, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Basis of Presentation —The 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 THG and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as permitted by such rules and regulations.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation —The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain the accounts of Hagerty, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Hagerty, Inc. had economic ownership of 26.1% of THG and is its sole managing member. Hagerty, Inc. reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in THG held by other parties.
The financial statements of THG are consolidated by the Company under the voting interest method 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, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Stockholders' Equity.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities —Broad Arrow Capital LLC ("BAC") and certain of its subsidiaries transfer notes receivable to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entities (each, an "SPE") to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt).
These SPEs are considered to be variable interest entities (each, a "VIE") under GAAP and their financial statements are consolidated by BAC, which is the primary beneficiary of the SPEs and also a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. BAC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because it has (i) power over the significant activities of the SPEs through its role as servicer of the notes receivable used to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through its interest in the residual cash flows of the SPEs.
Refer to Note 5 — Notes Receivable and Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated variable interest entities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| ASSETS | in thousands | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $630 | $1,746 |

(1)Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities includes the current portion of outstanding borrowings under the BAC Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt) totaling $12.8 million.
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. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not delayed the adoption of any new or revised accounting standards despite qualifying as an emerging growth company.
Use of Estimates —The preparation of the 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 as of 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.
Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims (see Note 10); (ii) the valuation of the Company's deferred income tax assets (see Note 17); (iii) the amount of the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") (the "TRA Liability") (see Note 17); (iv) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; and (v) the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets (see Note 9). Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the current estimates are reasonable in all material respects. These estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted as necessary. Adjustments related to changes in estimates are reflected in the Company's results of operations in the period during which those estimates changed.
Segment Information — The Company hasone operating segment andone reportable segment with the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's segment presentation reflects its business activities which place the automotive enthusiast at the center of operating and resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, the CODM evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions using a number of consolidated measures, including consolidated net income. The CODM is also regularly provided with information regarding the Company's significant expenses consistent with the level of information provided in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as information regarding assets consistent with the level of detail provided on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The CODM utilizes such consolidated financial information in connection with the Company's budgeting and forecasting process to monitor budget-to-actual variances when evaluating performance, allocating resources, and establishing management compensation.

Supplemental Balance Sheet Information
Restricted Assets —The Company's MGA subsidiaries collect premiums from insureds on behalf of insurance carriers. Prior to remittance to the insurance carrier, these funds are required to be held in trust for the benefit of the insurance carriers and segregated from the Company's operating cash.
Hagerty Re maintains trust accounts for the benefit of various ceding insurers as security for its obligations for losses, loss expenses, unearned premium, and profit-sharing commissions.
On September 1, 2024, the Company acquired Consolidated National Insurance Company, which was subsequently renamed Drivers Edge Insurance Company ("Drivers Edge"). Drivers Edge maintains assets on deposit with a number of regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. Refer to Note 8 — Acquisition for additional information related to the Company's acquisition of Drivers Edge.
BAC and its consolidated subsidiaries maintain bank accounts that are required for the operation of the BAC Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt). The funds in these bank accounts represent security under the BAC Credit Facility and their use is restricted to the servicing of the debt outstanding under that facility.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes —In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 -Income Taxes (ASC 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign), and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU No. 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2023-09 starting with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Upon adoption, the Company will include the required additional disclosures in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Statement Expenses —In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASC 220-40), which enables investors to better understand an entity's performance, assessing an entity's prospects for future cash flows, and comparing an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. ASU No. 2024-03 primarily requires entities to disaggregate, in the notes to financial statements, any relevant expense caption presented in the statement of operations within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The new standard does not change the presentation of expense information in the statement of operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is still assessing the impact of ASU No. 2024-03 and, upon adoption, the Company may be required to include certain additional disclosures in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

| in thousands | ||
| Contract assets | $10,851 | $15,860 |
| Contract liabilities | $47,612 | $47,239 |
Contract assets, which are reported within "Commissions receivable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily consist of contingent underwriting commission ("CUC") receivables, which are earned throughout the year with 80% of the CUC receivables from Markel Group Inc. ("Markel") settled monthly and the remaining 20% settled annually.
Contract liabilities consist of cash collected in advance of revenue recognition and primarily includes the unrecognized portion of HDC membership fees, the unrecognized portion of the advanced commission payment received from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm"), and, to a much lesser extent, cash collected in advance of the completion of marketplace private sales. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information regarding the Company's master alliance agreement with State Farm.
3 — Investments
The Company holds a diversified investment portfolio, consisting of fixed maturity securities and, to a much lesser extent, equity securities, with the fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale. As of March 31, 2025, all fixed maturity securities had an investment grade rating from at least one nationally recognized rating organization.
Available-for-sale investments
The following tables summarize the Company's available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Estimated Fair Value | |
| Fixed maturity securities: | in thousands | |||
| Corporate | $225,378 | $2,584 | $(503) | $227,459 |

| Total fixed maturity securities | $578,669 | $2,414 | $(3,395) | $577,688 |
On a quarterly basis, fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses are reviewed to determine whether the decline in fair value is attributable to a material credit loss. As of March 31, 2025, no credit loss allowance was recorded and all unrealized losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities were in such position for less than one year. It is management's intent to hold these investments to recovery, or maturity, if necessary, to recover the decline in valuation as prices accrete to par.
The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company's available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2025:
| Amortized Cost | Estimated Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| in thousands | ||
| Due in one year or less | $93,420 | $93,683 |
| Due after one year through five years | 261,468 | 263,877 |

| Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities | 147,256 | 148,371 |
| Total fixed maturity securities | $570,677 | $574,797 |
Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

4 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy. The level assigned to a fair value measurement is based on the lowest level input that management judges to be significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3— Pricing inputs are unobservable, but management believes that such inputs are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to measure the asset or liability at fair value.
The Company's policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels, if any, at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the current and prior reporting periods.
Investments
Fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and equity securities are classified as Level 1. The fair value of these investments is determined after considering various sources of information, including information provided by a third-party pricing service, which provides prices for substantially all of the Company's fixed maturity securities and equity securities. In determining fair value, the Company generally does not adjust the prices obtained from the pricing service. The Company obtains an understanding of the pricing service's valuation methodologies and related inputs, which include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids, offers, duration, credit ratings, estimated cash flows, and prepayment speeds.
Refer to Note 3 — Investments for additional information related to the Company's investment portfolio.
Interest rate swap
In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $35.0 million, a fixed swap rate of 0.81%, and a maturity date in December 2025. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and the Company formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and its variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company also assessed whether the interest rate swap was highly effective in offsetting variability in the cash flows of its variable rate borrowings. The hedge was deemed highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis; therefore, any changes in fair value were recorded within "Change in unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swap" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreement was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense within "Interest and other income (expense), net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The interest rate swap was classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the interest rate swap, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") forward curve, are considered observable market inputs.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company reduced its borrowings under the Prior JPM Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12 — Long-Term Debt) below the $35.0 million notional amount of the interest rate swap and, as a result, the interest rate swap was settled prior to its maturity date.
Warrant liabilities
The Company's Public Warrants were classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy as they were measured utilizing quoted market prices. The Company's Private Warrants, Underwriter Warrants, OTM Warrants, and PIPE Warrants were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of the Level 3 warrants. The Company's Monte Carlo simulation model included assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's warrant liabilities that were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
| Private Warrants | Underwriter Warrants | OTM Warrants | PIPE Warrants | Total | |

| Balance at March 31, 2024 | $543 | $61 | $4,635 | $23,707 | $28,946 |
In July 2024, the Company completed an exchange offer under which holders of the Company's warrants were issued 3,876,201 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for 19,483,539 warrants, with a nominal cash settlement paid in lieu of fractional shares (the "Warrant Exchange"). No warrants remained outstanding following the completion of the Warrant Exchange.

5 — Notes Receivable
BAC provides financing solutions to qualified collectors and businesses by structuring loans secured by collector cars. The loans underwritten by BAC include term loans and short-term bridge financings. The loans underwritten by BAC are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Notes receivable".
Loans carry either a fixed or variable rate of interest and typically require periodic interest payments over the life of the loan with the principal amount due at maturity. Loans have an initial maturity of up totwo years, often with an option for the borrower to renew forone year increments, provided the borrower remains in good standing, including maintaining a specified targeted loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio for the loan. As of March 31, 2025, the loans underwritten by BAC were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, with the carrying values of the loans approximating their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturities and the variable interest rates associated with most loans. The lending activities of BAC are funded, in part, with borrowings drawn from the BAC Credit Facility, with the remainder funded by the Company's available liquidity. Refer to Note 12 — Long-Term Debt for additional information regarding the BAC Credit Facility.
BAC aims to mitigate the risk associated with a potential devaluation in collateral by targeting an LTV ratio of 65% or less (i.e., the principal loan amount divided by the estimated value of the collateral at the time of underwriting). The LTV ratio is reassessed on a quarterly basis or if the loan is renewed. The LTV ratio is reassessed more frequently if there is a material change in the circumstances related to the loan, including if there is a material change in the value of the collateral, a material change in the borrower's disposal plans for the collateral, or if an event of default occurs. If, as a result of this reassessment, the LTV ratio increases above the target level, the borrower may be asked to make principal payments and/or post sufficient additional collateral to reduce the LTV ratio as a condition of future financing, renewal, or to avoid a default. In the event of a default by a borrower, BAC is entitled to sell the collateral to recover the outstanding principal, accrued interest balance, and any expenses incurred with respect to the recovery process.
Management considers the valuation of the underlying collateral and the LTV ratio to be the two most critical credit quality indicators for the loans made by BAC. In estimating the value of the underlying collateral for BAC's loans, management utilizes its expertise in the collector car market and considers an array of factors impacting the current and expected sale value of each car including the year, make, model, mileage, history, and in the case of classic cars, the provenance, quality of restoration (if applicable), the originality of the body, chassis, and mechanical components, and comparable market transaction values.
The repayment of BAC's loans can be adversely impacted by a borrower's deteriorating financial circumstances, a decline in the collector car market in general or in the value of the collateral, which may be concentrated within certain marques, vintages, or types of cars. In addition, in situations when BAC's claim on the collateral is subject to a legal dispute, the ability to realize proceeds from the collateral may be limited or delayed.
As of March 31, 2025, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $73.2 million, of which $62.1 million was classified within current assets and $11.1 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $57.0 million, of which $45.4 million was classified within current assets and $11.6 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The classification of a loan as current or long-term is based on the contractual maturity date of the loan as of the balance sheet date.
The table below provides the aggregate LTV ratio for BAC's loan portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| in thousands | ||
| Secured loans | $73,192 | $56,972 |
| Estimate of collateral value | $123,486 | $95,778 |
| Aggregate LTV ratio | 59.3% | 59.5% |
As of March 31, 2025, four borrowers each had loan balances that exceeded 10% of the total loan portfolio. These loans total $36.9 million, representing 50% of the total loan portfolio. The collateral related to these loans was $61.7 million, resulting in an aggregate LTV ratio of 60%.
Management considers a loan to be past due when an interest payment is not paid within 10 business days of the monthly due date, or if the principal amount is not repaid by the contractual maturity date. Typically, a loan becomes past due only for a short period of time during which the loan is renewed or collateral is sold to satisfy the borrower's obligations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of past due principal and interest payments was not material.
A non-accrual loan is a loan for which future finance revenue is not recorded due to management's determination that it is probable that future interest on the loan will not be collectible. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any accrued interest receivable deemed not collectible is reversed against finance revenue. Any cash receipts subsequently received on non-accrual loans are first applied to reduce the recorded principal balance of the loan, with any proceeds in excess of the principal balance then applied to interest and expenses owed by the borrower. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no non-accrual loans.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses related to the BAC loan portfolio was not material based on management's quarterly risk assessment, which takes into consideration a number of factors including the level of historical losses for similar loans, the quality of the collateral, the low LTV ratio of the loans, management's overall assessment of the current circumstances and risks related to each loan, and, to a lesser extent, the circumstances related to each borrower.

Reserving Methodology
The Company records an estimate of quarterly losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations using an annual loss ratio, which is based on statistical analysis performed by our internal and external actuarial team that considers several factors, including projected levels of catastrophe events. Management believes this approach provides a more consistent view of loss experience over the year given the seasonality of Hagerty Re's business. The annual loss ratio is reviewed throughout the year and adjusted, as necessary.
The provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the difference between management's estimate of the ultimate cost of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred by Hagerty Re and the amount of paid losses as of the reporting date. These reserves reflect management's best estimate of unpaid losses related to both reported claims and IBNR claims. These reserves also include management's best estimate of all expenses associated with processing and settling reported and unreported claims.
Reserves are reviewed by management quarterly and periodically throughout the year by combining historical results and current actual results to calculate new development factors. Claims are analyzed and reported based on the year in which the loss occurred (i.e., on an accident year basis). Accident year data is classified and utilized within actuarial models to prepare estimates of required reserves for payments to be made in the future.
When estimating reserves, the Company utilizes several actuarial reserving methods which consider historical claim reporting patterns, claim cycle time, claim frequency and severity, claims settlement practices, adequacy of case reserves over time, seasonality, and current economic conditions. Reserve estimates produced by various actuarial reserving methods are further analyzed to determine the actuarial central estimate which represents the expected value over the range of reasonably possible outcomes.

Ceded Reinsurance
Hagerty Re purchases catastrophe reinsurance to protect its capital from large catastrophic events and to provide earnings protection and stability. Hagerty Re renegotiated its catastrophe reinsurance coverage effective January 1, 2025, with terms and limits similar to 2024. The 2025 catastrophe reinsurance program for accounts with total insured values ("TIV") of up to $5.0 million affords coverage in excess of a per event retention of $28.0 million intwo layers; $27.0 million excess of $28.0 million, and $50.0 million excess of $55.0 million. Additionally, Hagerty Re purchases facultative reinsurance to cede a portion of the physical damage exposure related to certain high value vehicles.
Hagerty Re cedes 100% of its physical damage exposure on U.S. accounts written or renewed with TIV equal to or greater than $5.0 million ("High-Net-Worth Accounts") via quota share agreements with various reinsurers. These High-Net-Worth Accounts are assumed 100% from a wholly owned subsidiary of Markel. Certain reinsurers involved in these quota share agreements are related parties. Refer to Note 18 — Related-Party Transactions for additional information.
Hagerty Re receives ceding commissions related to premiums ceded under reinsurance contracts related to High-Net-Worth Accounts. Ceding commissions are recognized ratably over the terms of the related policies, which are generally 12 months, and are recorded within "Ceding commissions, net" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred portions of ceding commissions received are included in "Deferred acquisition costs, net" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2025 JPM Credit Facility
In March 2025, THG entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, the foreign subsidiary borrowers thereto, and the other financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the "2025 JPM Credit Agreement").
The 2025 JPM Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2025 JPM Credit Facility") with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $375.0 million. Additionally, the 2025 JPM Credit Agreement provides for (i) the issuance of letters of credit with a $175.0 million sublimit, (ii) borrowings in foreign currencies of up to a $100.0 million sublimit, and (iii) an uncommitted accordion feature of $75.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as THG's net leverage ratio is less than 3.25. The 2025 JPM Credit Agreement matures in March 2030, but may be extended if agreed to by THG and the lenders party thereto. Any unpaid balance on the 2025 JPM Credit Facility is due at maturity.
In connection with its entry into the 2025 JPM Credit Agreement, THG used proceeds from the 2025 JPM Credit Facility to repay in full all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations outstanding under, and terminated, its prior credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, the foreign subsidiary borrowers party thereto, and the other financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the "Prior JPM Credit Agreement"). THG incurred approximately $1.0 million of fees associated with its entry into the 2025 JPM Credit Agreement, which, along with the remaining unamortized fees associated with the Prior JPM Credit Agreement, will be amortized over the agreement's five-year term.
The 2025 JPM Credit Facility accrues interest at the applicable reference rate, primarily Term SOFR, depending on the currency of the borrowing plus an applicable margin determined by the Company's net leverage ratio for the preceding period (as defined in the 2025 JPM Credit Facility). The effective interest rate related to the 2025 JPM Credit Agreement and the Prior JPM Credit Agreement was 5.91% and 6.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The 2025 JPM Credit Agreement requires THG to, among other things, meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test and a maximum leverage ratio test. As of March 31, 2025, THG was in compliance with these financial covenants.
As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the outstanding borrowings under the 2025 JPM Credit Facility approximated its fair value due to the variable interest rates associated with the outstanding borrowings.
BAC Credit Facility
BAC and its wholly owned subsidiary BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC, as borrower, have a revolving credit agreement with a certain lender (the "BAC Credit Agreement"). The BAC Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "BAC Credit Facility"), which has an aggregate borrowing capacity of $75.0 million and is subject to a borrowing base that is determined based on the carrying value of certain BAC notes receivable. As of March 31, 2025, the applicable borrowing base for the BAC Credit Agreement was $32.1 million.
The revolving borrowing period provided by the BAC Credit Agreement expires in December 2025, after which an amortization period will begin when principal payments will be required to be made until the BAC Credit Facility ultimately matures in December 2026. The revolving borrowing period and the maturity date of the BAC Credit Agreement may be extended byone year if requested by BAC and agreed by the administrative agent. BAC is not a borrower or guarantor of the BAC Credit Facility.
In connection with the BAC Credit Agreement, BAC and certain of its subsidiaries may transfer originated notes receivable to wholly owned, bankruptcy remote SPEs to secure the borrowings. The assets transferred to SPEs are legally isolated from the Company and its other (non-SPE) subsidiaries. Accordingly, those assets are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company and its other (non-SPE) subsidiaries and the Company's recourse under the BAC Credit Agreement is limited.
Recourse to the Company and its subsidiaries that originated and transferred notes receivable that represent collateral under the BAC Credit Facility is limited to (i) an obligation of the applicable seller to repurchase a note receivable if it is determined that there was a breach of any representation or warranty relating to such note receivable as of the relevant date specified in the related transfer agreement and (ii) a limited guarantee covering certain liabilities that may result under certain foreign exchange hedging activity of one of the SPEs.
BAC and BAC Funding 2023-1, LLC are required, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants under the BAC Credit Agreement, including that BAC, as the servicer, maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity balances, and an indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the BAC Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the $32.1 million in outstanding borrowings under the BAC Credit Facility approximated its fair value due to the variable interest rates associated with the outstanding borrowings. The current portion of the outstanding BAC Credit Agreement borrowings is recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
State Farm Term Loan
In September 2023, Hagerty Re entered into an unsecured term loan credit facility with State Farm in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the "State Farm Term Loan").

The net proceeds from the Private Placement after deducting issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million were $79.2 million, which was recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company used the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated redemption value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $115.4 million, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid if the Optional Term Redemption provision in the Certificate of Designations, as summarized below, is exercised as of the earliest possible redemption date of June 23, 2028. The decision to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash is made at the discretion of the Company; however, the Company is controlled by HHC through its voting control of the Company. Accordingly, the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is considered outside the control of the Company and, as a result, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is recorded within Temporary Equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has elected to apply the accretion method to adjust the carrying value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value. Amounts recognized to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend and are recorded as a reduction to "Additional paid-in capital". The estimated redemption value may vary in subsequent periods and the Company has elected to recognize such changes prospectively.
The captioned sections below provide a summary of the material terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations").
Ranking — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Class A Common Stock, the Class V Common Stock, and each other class or series of shares of the Company that the Company may issue in the future the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks equally with, or senior to, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution.
Dividends — Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 7% of the Series A Purchase Price of each share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually (the "Accruing Dividends"). The Company may elect to pay the Accruing Dividends either in cash or in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will participate on an as-converted basis in dividends declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock. In June 2024, the Company paid $5.6 million of cash dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Investors.
Conversion — Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is initially $11.79 and is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including a stock split, a reverse stock split, or a dividend of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock to the Company's common stockholders (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price"). The Company may require such conversion (i) if the closing price per share of Class A Common Stock, for at least twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days, exceeds: (a) on or after the third and prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing,150% of the Conversion Price; or (b) on or after the seventh and prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing,100% of the Conversion Price; and (ii) on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing. The conversion rate in effect at any applicable time (the "Conversion Rate") is the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A Purchase Price by the Conversion Price.
As of March 31, 2025, no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted and the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into 6,785,410 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Voting — The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class. The Investors have veto rights over (i) changes to the terms of the Certificate of Designations or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws that adversely impact the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the issuance of equity securities senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or other securities convertible thereto.
Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid the greater of (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, and (ii) the amount that such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the "Liquidation Preference"). After payment of the Liquidation Preference, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will no longer be convertible and will not participate in any distribution made to the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock.
Change of Control — Upon a merger, consolidation, sale or other change of control transaction as described in the Certificate of Designations (a "Change of Control"), either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the greater of: (a) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by (i) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing,120%; (ii) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (iii) if after the fifth anniversary of the Closing,100%; and (b) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into the Class A Common Stock prior to the Change of Control. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are not so redeemed will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock and be paid in connection with the Change of Control.
Fundamental Transaction — In the event of any acquisition by the Company with a transaction value of at least $500.0 million or any equity or debt financing by the Company that raises at least $500.0 million, either (i) the Company may elect to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, individually, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if prior to or on the third anniversary of the Closing,120%; (b) if after the third but prior to or on the fifth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (c) if after the fifth but prior to or on the sixth anniversary of the Closing,108%; (d) if after the sixth but prior to or on the seventh anniversary of the Closing,106%; (e) if after the seventh but prior to or on the eighth anniversary of the Closing,104%; (f) if after the eighth but prior to or on the ninth anniversary of the Closing,102%; or (g) if after the ninth anniversary of the Closing,100%.
Optional Term Redemption — Any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash (a "Term Redemption"). The redemption price per share to be paid by the Company would be equal to the greater of: (i) the Series A Purchase Price plus any accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends multiplied by: (a) if after the fifth but prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing,110%; (b) if on or after the sixth but prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing,108%; (c) if on or after the seventh but prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing,106%; (d) if on or after the eighth but prior to the ninth anniversary of the Closing,104%; (e) if on or after the ninth but prior to tenth anniversary of the Closing,102%; or (f) if on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing,100%; and (ii) the amount such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had it converted into Class A Common Stock prior to the Term Redemption.
Registration Rights Agreement — In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which, the Investors will be entitled to certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.

| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |

Share-Based Compensation
Employees of THG subsidiaries are awarded share-based compensation in the form of RSUs and performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") under the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. Upon the vesting of these awards, the employees receive shares of Class A Common Stock and the Company is issued an equivalent number of THG units. Employees of THG subsidiaries may also participate in the Company's 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which these employees may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a discounted price and the Company is issued an equivalent number of THG units.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received 8,272 and 67,003, respectively, of THG units in connection with shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued as a result of share-based compensation awards vesting under the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. No shares of Class A Common Stock were issued related to the Company's 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Exchange of THG Units
Each THG unit and, if applicable, the associated share of Class V Common Stock, is exchangeable forone share of Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, in connection with any such exchange, Hagerty, Inc. receives a corresponding number of THG units, thereby increasing its ownership interest in THG. Changes in Hagerty, Inc.'s ownership interest in THG while retaining its controlling interest are accounted for as equity transactions. Accordingly, exchanges of THG units by unit holders other than Hagerty, Inc. increase Hagerty, Inc.'s ownership in THG, thereby reducing the amount recorded as "Non-controlling interest" and increasing "Additional paid-in capital".
During the three months ended March 31, 2025,24,000 THG units were exchanged for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock. These exchanges resulted in reductions to "Non-controlling interest" and corresponding increases to "Additional paid-in capital" of $0.2 million representing the fair value of Class A Common Stock on the date of each exchange. No THG units were exchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
THG Preferred Units
In connection with the Private Placement, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of THG was amended and restated in the form of a Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (as subsequently amended and restated, the "THG LLC Agreement"), to, among other things, create a new series of preferred units within THG (the "THG Preferred Units"). The terms of the THG Preferred Units parallel the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and areheld entirely by Hagerty, Inc.
The THG Preferred Units are recorded on the financial statements of THG based on their estimated redemption value, which represents the maximum cash payment, including cumulative dividends, that would be required to be paid to Hagerty, Inc. if the Optional Term Redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is exercised. Amounts recognized to accrete the THG Preferred Units to their estimated redemption value are treated as a deemed dividend due to Hagerty, Inc. The amount of this deemed dividend is attributed entirely to Hagerty, Inc. prior to allocating the remainder of THG's net income between controlling and non-controlling interests. In June 2024, THG paid $5.6 million of cash dividends to Hagerty, Inc. on the THG Preferred Units. Refer to Note 13 — Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information on the Private Placement and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Distributions to Unit Holders of THG
Under the terms of the THG LLC Agreement, THG is obligated to make tax distributions to its unit holders. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, THG made tax distributions of $24.7 million to non-controlling interest unit holders and $9.7 million of tax distributions to Hagerty, Inc. There wereno such tax distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
15 — Share-Based Compensation
The Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to approximately 38.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock to employees and non-employee directors. The 2021 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, and PRSUs. As of March 31, 2025, there were approximately 27.6 million shares available for future grants under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
Share-based compensation expense related to employees is recognized within "Salaries and benefits" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Share-based compensation expense related to non-employee directors is recognized within "General and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognizes forfeitures of share-based compensation awards in the period in which they occur.
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| in thousands | ||
| Restricted stock units | $3,202 | $3,828 |
| Performance restricted stock units | 1,190 | 715 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $4,392 | $4,543 |
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs typically vest over atwo tofive-year period based on the requisite service period. The grant date fair value is determined based on the closing market price of the Class A Common Stock on the business day prior to the grant date and the related share-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.
The following table provides a summary of RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| Restricted Stock Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested balance as of December 31, 2024 | 3,682,679 | $9.65 |
| Vested (1) | (12,819) | 7.80 |
| Forfeited | (32,345) | 9.32 |
| Unvested balance as of March 31, 2025 | 3,637,515 | $9.66 |
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2025,8,272 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued related to the vesting of RSUs in the period, net of shares withheld for the funding of employee tax obligations.
The following table provides additional data related to RSU award activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| in thousands (except years) | ||
| Total fair value of shares vested (1) | $100 | $711 |
| Unrecognized compensation expense | $25,512 | $27,355 |
| Weighted-average period awards are expected to be recognized (in years) | 2.72 | 3.38 |
(1)The tax impact related to vested RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due to the full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG.
Performance Restricted Stock Units
Market Condition PRSUs
In April 2022, the Company's CEO was granted 3,707,136 market condition PRSUs, which provide him the opportunity to receive up to 3,707,136 shares of Class A Common Stock. The award had a grant date fair value of approximately $19.2 million, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These PRSUs have both market-based and service-based vesting conditions. Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under this award can be earned based on the achievement of the following stock price targets: (i)25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $20.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, (ii)25% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $25.00 per share for 60 consecutive days, and (iii)50% of the shares can be earned when the stock price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $30.00 per share for 60 consecutive days. These market-based conditions must be met in order for the PRSUs to vest; therefore, it is possible that no shares will ultimately vest. If any of the market-based conditions are met, the PRSUs will vest contingent upon continued service through the earlier ofthree years after achievement of the stock price target or the end of theseven-year performance period. As of March 31, 2025, no market condition PRSUs had vested.
The Company will recognize the entire $19.2 million of compensation expense for this award over the requisite service period, regardless of whether such market-based conditions are met. As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to this award was $10.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a period of 4.00 years.
The following table summarizes the assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of the market condition PRSUs awarded in April 2022:
| Inputs | Performance Restricted Stock Units |
|---|---|
| Weighted average grant-date fair value per share | $5.19 |
| Expected stock volatility | 35% |
| Expected term (in years) | 7.0 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.5% |
| Dividend yield | —% |
Performance Condition PRSUs
In March 2024, the Talent, Culture, and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board adopted a new form of PRSU award agreement (the "2024 PRSU Agreement") to be used for awards of PRSUs to certain employees under the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
PRSUs granted under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be eligible to vest subject to the satisfaction of both performance-based and service-based conditions. The performance-based vesting condition will be satisfied contingent upon the Company's level of performance over the designated performance period (the "Performance Period") as measured against a financial performance target (the "Performance Target"), each as determined by the Compensation Committee. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee will determine the applicable attained performance level with payout percentages ranging from 35% to 200% (each, a "Payout Percentage") of the target number of PRSUs awarded. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2024 PRSU Agreement) before the end of a scheduled Performance Period, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to end the Performance Period early and measure performance levels as of a revised measurement date.
If both the service-based and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied, the PRSU holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, determined by multiplying the aggregate number of PRSUs subject to the applicable PRSU Agreement by the applicable Payout Percentage that corresponds to the level of achievement of the Performance Target pursuant to the payout formula approved by the Compensation Committee.
The amount of compensation expense ultimately recognized for PRSUs issued under the 2024 PRSU Agreement will be based on the Company's ultimate performance relative to the Performance Target. The amount of compensation expense recognized prior to the end of the Performance Period is dependent upon management's assessment of the likelihood of achieving the applicable payout levels. If, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a greater number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to increase compensation expense is recorded in the period when such determination is made. Conversely, if, as a result of management's assessment, it is projected that a lower number of PRSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to decrease compensation expense is recorded in the period when such determination is made.
The following table provides a summary of the activity related to PRSUs granted under the 2024 PRSU Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025. No shares were granted or forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| Performance Restricted Stock Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested balance as of December 31, 2024 | 295,166 | $9.33 |
| Granted | — | — |
| Forfeited | — | — |
| Unvested balance as of March 31, 2025 | 295,166 | $9.33 |
As of March 31, 2025, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued with respect to PRSUs granted under the 2024 PRSU Agreement is 590,332, assuming full achievement of the Performance Target.
The following table provides additional data related to performance condition PRSU award activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") allows substantially all of the Company's employees to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a discount. As of March 31, 2025,228,316 shares had been purchased under the ESPP and there were approximately 11.3 million shares available for future purchases.
16 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated under the Two-Class Method using basic Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using diluted Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
The Company's potentially dilutive securities consist of (i) unvested share-based compensation awards, shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan, and unexercised warrants (prior to completion of the Warrant Exchange) with the dilutive effect calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, and (ii) non-controlling interest THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with the dilutive effect calculated using the more dilutive of the If-Converted Method and the Two-Class Method.
In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A Common Stockholders would be equal to basic net loss per share because potentially dilutive shares of Class A Common Stock are not assumed to be issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

17 — Taxation
United States — With the exception of certain U.S. corporate and foreign subsidiaries, THG is taxed as a pass-through ownership structure under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and a similar section of state income tax law. As such, any taxable income or loss generated by THG is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of THG unit holders, including Hagerty, Inc.
Hagerty, Inc. is taxed as a corporation under the IRC and pays corporate, federal, state, and local taxes with respect to income allocated from THG. Hagerty, Inc., Hagerty Insurance Holdings, Inc., Broad Arrow, Hagerty Radwood, Inc., and various foreign subsidiaries are treated as taxable entities and income taxes are provided where applicable. Hagerty Insurance Holdings, Inc. files a consolidated tax return with its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries Hagerty Re and Drivers Edge.
Canada —Hagerty's Canadian entities are taxed as non-resident corporations and subject to income tax in Canada under provisions of the Canadian Revenue Agency.
United Kingdom —Hagerty's U.K. entities are taxed as corporations and subject to income tax in the U.K. under provisions of HM Revenue & Customs.
Bermuda —Hagerty Re made an irrevocable election under Section 953(d) of the IRC, as amended, to be taxed as a U.S. domestic corporation. As a result, Hagerty Re is subject to U.S. taxation on its world-wide income as if it were a U.S. corporation. In accordance with an agreement between Hagerty Re and the IRS, Hagerty Re established an irrevocable letter of credit with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in 2021.
Tax Legislation —The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as "Pillar 2"). Certain aspects of Pillar 2 became effective on January 1, 2024 and other aspects became effective on January 1, 2025. While its uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. While the Company's effective income tax rate and cash income tax payments could increase in future years as a result of the global minimum tax, management does not expect there will be a material impact to the Company's effective tax rate or its results of operations. The Company's assessment could be affected by legislative guidance and future enactment of additional provisions within the Pillar 2 framework.
Income Tax Expense —For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, income tax expense reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations differs from the tax computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal rate of 21% to "Income before income tax expense" as follows:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 | ||||
| in thousands (except percentages) | ||||
| Income tax expense at statutory rate | $6,884 | 21% | $2,799 | 21% |
| State taxes | 572 | 2% | 23 | —% |
| (Income) loss not subject to entity-level taxes | (915) | (3)% | 35 | —% |
| Foreign rate differential | 505 | 2% | (223) | (2)% |
| Change in valuation allowance | (25) | —% | 1,002 | 8% |
| (Gain) loss related to warrant liabilities, net | — | —% | 1,290 | 10% |

| Other, net | (238) | (1)% | (5) | —% |
| Income tax expense | $5,489 | 17% | $5,129 | 39% |
Deferred Tax Assets —As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred tax assets of $146.2 million and $148.1 million, respectively, related to the difference between the outside tax basis and book basis of its investment in the assets of THG. The Company's deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management believes it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis using all available evidence, both positive and negative. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income during periods prior to the expiration of tax attributes to fully utilize these assets. After considering all positive and negative evidence of taxable income in the carryback and carryforward periods, as permitted by law, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG, will not be realized. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $174.6 million and $176.2 million against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Given the Company's recent history of earnings and anticipated future earnings, management believes there is a reasonable possibility that, within the next twelve months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow management to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. deferred tax assets will be reversed. Reversal of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense in the period the reversal is recorded. In addition, a corresponding increase to the estimated value of the liability related to the TRA Liability, may be required to be recognized with the resulting expense recorded within "Interest and other income (expense), net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance reversal, and any corresponding increase to the TRA Liability, are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that is actually achieved.
Tax Examinations —The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as many state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2025, tax years 2020 to 2023 are subject to examination by various tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of March 31, 2025, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations for years before 2020. THG is currently under audit by the IRS for the 2021 tax year.
The Canadian Revenue Agency closed its examinations of the Company for the 2018 tax year in March 2024 and for the 2020-2022 tax years in February 2025, with no changes to previously filed tax returns.
Uncertain Tax Positions —The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.
The Company records uncertain tax benefits ("UTB") as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when management's conclusion changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the UTB liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.
As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and had no material accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. If recorded, interest and penalties would be recorded within "Income tax expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability —In connection with the consummation of the business combination that formed Hagerty, Inc. in 2021, Hagerty, Inc. entered into a TRA with the Legacy Unit Holders. The TRA provides for payment to the Legacy Unit Holders of 85% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by Hagerty, Inc. as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits as outlined in the Business Combination Agreement upon the exchange of THG units and shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock or cash. The Business Combination Agreement is provided as Exhibit 2.1, incorporated by reference within Item 6. Exhibits, in this Quarterly Report. In connection with the filing of its 2019 income tax return THG made an election under Section 754 of the IRC for each taxable year in which TRA exchanges occur. This election cannot be revoked without the permission of the IRS Commissioner and will be in place for any future exchange of THG units. The remaining 15% cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by Hagerty, Inc.
The amount and timing of any payments under the TRA will vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the increase in tax basis of THG's assets, the timing of any future redemptions, exchanges or purchases of THG units held by Legacy Unit Holders, the price of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock at the time of the redemption, exchange or purchase, the extent to which redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income that Hagerty, Inc. generates in the future, the tax rates then applicable, and the portion of the payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest.
In general, under the TRA, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of Hagerty, Inc. for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of THG units and shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class V Common Stock for shares of Hagerty, Inc. Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company produces taxable income and the resulting cash tax liability is reduced by deducting the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. The payments under the TRA are expected to be substantial.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated value of the TRA Liability was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, principally recorded within "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Hagerty, Inc. made TRA payments of $0.2 million to the Legacy Unit Holders. There wereno such TRA payments during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

19 — Commitments and Contingencies
Employee Compensation Agreements —In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into certain employee compensation agreements from time to time which commit it to severance obligations in the event an employee terminates employment with the Company. If applicable, these obligations are included in the accrued expenses lines of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Litigation —From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these legal contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. The determination of the amount of any losses to be recorded or disclosed as a result of these contingencies is based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel. The amount of losses recorded or disclosed for such contingencies may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or a change in legal or settlement strategy. While the impact of any one or more legal claims or proceedings could be material to the Company's operating results in any period, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these pending claims or proceedings (including the data security incident discussed below), individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or liquidity.
Data Security Incident —In 2021, the Company experienced an unauthorized access into its online insurance quote feature whereby attackers used personal information already in their possession to obtain additional consumer data, including driver's license numbers. The unauthorized access issue has been remediated. This incident is the subject of coordinated industry-wide regulatory investigations in New York state. The Company could be subject to litigation, fines, penalties, and/or settlements related to this incident. In 2023, the Company accrued an estimated liability related to this incident based on the facts known by management and developed through its assessment of the current status of ongoing dialog with the regulatory investigators. The amount of the estimated liability is not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The amount of any fines, penalties, and/or settlements related to this incident could differ from the amount currently accrued and such difference is not currently estimable.
20 — Subsequent Events
