The increase in net cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the comparable 2017 period was primarily due to the absence of an $85.0 million payment made in 2017 related to the lender-placed market conduct examination settlement agreements. Also contributing was an increase of sales in our Connected Living business, lower inventory purchases in our mobile business and $26.7 million increase in cash from the settlement of a series of derivative transactions that we entered into in 2017 to hedge interest rate risk related to the anticipated borrowings

to be used for the TWG acquisition (all in 2018). These are partially offset by a $41.5 million payment of an accrued indemnification liability in 2018 related to the previous sale of our general agency business and claim payments made, net of reinusrance, related to losses from 2017 reportable catastrophes.

(2)

Amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily consist of $1.49 billion of cash used to fund a portion of the total purchase of the TWG acquisition, inclusive of the $595.9 million repayment of pre-existing TWG debt at the Acquisition Date (such debt was not legally assumed by Assurant), net of $277.3 million in TWG cash acquired. The remaining consideration for the TWG acquisition was funded by the issuance of 10,399,862 common shares. Refer to Note 4 - Acquisitions, for additional information.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Revenue recognition from contracts with customers: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new guidance related to revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The new guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective approach, whereby the cumulative effect of adoption to retained earnings was recognized as of January 1, 2018 and the comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The guidance affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. Insurance and similar contracts issued by insurance entities are specifically excluded from the scope of the amended revenue recognition guidance. As such, this standard only applies to the Company’s service contracts and sales of products, including those related to providing administrative services, mobile device related services, mortgage property risk management services and similar fee for service arrangements. Revenues from these contracts correspond to approximately 20% of the Company’s total 2017 revenues. The standard utilizes a five-step approach that emphasizes the recognition of revenue when the performance obligations are met by the Company in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive.

As of the adoption date, accounts payable and other liabilities decreased by $10.0 million, other assets decreased by $0.3 million, retained earnings increased by $7.5 million, and deferred taxes increased by $2.2 million due to a change in the revenue recognition associated with certain mobile upgrade programs. The change reflects the recognition of upgrade revenue

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

in proportion to the pattern of rights expected to be exercised as opposed to recognition when the event (upgrade or end of term) occurs. The comparable mobile upgrade programs impacted by this change were immaterial in prior periods.

Upon adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company’s revenues for service contracts and sales of products are subject to additional disclosure requirements, such as those related to providing disaggregated revenue disclosure, changes in contract balances, enhanced description of performance obligations, basis of determining costs and related significant judgments used in determining appropriate revenue recognition procedures. Refer to Note 6 for the Contract Revenues note.

Financial instruments measurement and classification: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance on the measurement and classification of financial instruments whereby all common and preferred stocks are measured at fair value through the income statement. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $33.9 million, which represents a reclassification from AOCI of the unrealized gains on common and preferred stock as of the date of adoption. The Company's other-than-temporary impairment policies have been updated to reflect that the change in value for preferred and common stocks are now reported in net income. For certain private equity investments recorded in Other investments, the Company elected the measurement alternative to record these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The measurement alternative has been applied on a prospective basis.

Income tax consequences for intra-entity transfers of assets: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance on tax accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets. The amended guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs as opposed to when it has been sold to an outside party. Also, the amended guidance eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Statement of cash flows presentation and classification: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance on presentation and classification in the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance addresses certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or insignificant coupon debt instruments; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and guidance related to the identification of the primary source for separately identifiable cash flows. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for hedging activities: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance related to hedge effectiveness testing requirements, income statement presentation and disclosure and hedge accounting qualification criteria. The amended guidance requires that realized gains and losses on forecasted transactions are recorded in the financial statement line item to which the underlying forecasted transactions relates; simplifies the ongoing effectiveness testing; and reduces the complexity of hedge accounting requirements for new derivative contracts. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Not Yet Adopted

Classification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income: In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended guidance on reclassifying the stranded tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amended guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this amended guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Reporting credit losses of assets held at amortized cost: In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses will be measured in a manner similar to current accounting requirements; however, the amended guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amended guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this amended guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Lease accounting: In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on leases, which replaces the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires that entities recognize the assets and liabilities associated with leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and equipment under operating lease arrangements. The Company performed an inventory of its lease arrangements and is in the process of assessing the potential impact of the new lease standard on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

4. Acquisitions

TWG Acquisition

On May 31, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited (“TWG Holdings”) and its subsidiaries for a total enterprise value of $2.47 billion. This reflects $894.9 million in cash, the repayment of TWG’s $595.9 million pre-existing debt and $975.5 million in newly-issued Assurant, Inc. common stock. As a result, the equityholders of TWG Holdings, including TPG Capital, received a total of 10,399,862 shares of Assurant common stock, which represented 16.5% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2018.

The acquisition will enhance the Company's position as a leading lifestyle provider, particularly within the Global Automotive business, with significant operating synergies expected and a deepened global footprint. The Company financed the cash consideration and repayment of TWG's pre-existing debt through a combination of available cash and external financing.

The presentation of Assurant Health policyholder benefits includes the impact of the total current period net utilization of premium deficiency reserves for claim costs and claim adjustment expenses included in policyholder benefits, as well as maintenance costs, which are included within underwriting, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the premium deficiency reserve liability decreased $0.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, through an offset to policyholder benefit expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the premium deficiency reserve liability decreased $0.8 million and $21.9 million, respectively, through an offset to policyholder benefit expense. In addition, there was favorable claims development experienced through June 30, 2018, in excess of actual benefit expense, which contributed to the credit balance within policyholder benefits expenses.

6. Contract Revenues

Assurant partners with clients to provide consumers a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products (approximately 80% of total revenues) are accounted for as insurance contracts and therefore are not subject to the new revenue standard adopted as of January 1, 2018 described in Note 3. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products (approximately 20% of total revenues) are recognized in accordance with the new revenue recognition standard. Specifically, these revenues are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for performing the services or transferring products. If payments are received before the related revenue is recognized, the amount is recorded as unearned revenue or advance payment liabilities, until the performance obligations are satisfied or the products are transferred.

The disaggregated revenues subject to the new revenue recognition standard and included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $84.2 million and $160.3 million for Global Housing and $151.2 million and $324.8 million for Global Lifestyle for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Global Housing

In our Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from our mortgage solutions and lender-placed insurance businesses. Under our mortgage solutions business, we offer valuation and title services and products across the origination, home equity and default markets, as well as field services, inspection services, restoration and real estate owned (“REO”) asset management to mortgage servicing clients and investors. Under our lender-placed insurance business, we provide loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. We generally invoice our customers weekly or monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period with payment due within a short-term period. Each service is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. We recognize revenue as we invoice which corresponds with the value transferred to the customer.

Global Lifestyle

In our Global Lifestyle segment, revenue from service contracts and sales of products is primarily from our Connected Living business. Through partnerships with mobile carriers, we provide administrative services related to our mobile device protection products including program design and marketing strategy, risk management, data analytics, customer support and claims handling, supply chain and service delivery, repair and logistics, and device disposition. Administrative fees are generally billed monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period (for example, based on the number of mobile subscribers) with payment due within a short-term period. Each service or bundle of services, depending on the contract, is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. We recognize revenue as we invoice which corresponds with the value transferred to the customer.

We also sell repaired or refurbished mobile and other electronic devices. Revenue from products sold is recognized when risk of ownership transfers to customers, generally upon shipment. Each product has a standalone selling price that is determined through analysis of various factors including market data, historical costs and product lifecycle status. Payments are generally due prior to shipment or within a short-term period.

Contract Balances

The receivables and unearned revenue under these contracts were $134.9 million and $32.3 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. These balances are included in premiums and accounts receivable and the accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2017 was $4.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

In certain circumstances, the Company pays up-front costs in connection with client contracts where the Company can demonstrate future economic benefit. The Company records such payments as intangible assets that are subject to periodic recoverability assessments based on the performance of the related contracts. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has approximately $13.6 million of such intangible assets that will be expensed ratably over the term of the client contracts.

The Company's states, municipalities and political subdivisions holdings are highly diversified across the U.S., with no individual state’s exposure (including both general obligation and revenue securities) exceeding 0.5% and 0.4% of the overall investment portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the securities include general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers, including $98.3 million and $137.7 million, respectively, of advance refunded or escrowed-to-maturity bonds (collectively referred to as “pre-refunded bonds”), which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, revenue bonds account for 60% and 53% of the holdings, respectively. Excluding pre-refunded revenue bonds, the activities supporting the income streams of the Company’s revenue bonds are across a broad range of sectors, primarily education, health care, highway, water, airport and marina, specifically pledged tax revenues, and other miscellaneous sources such as bond banks, finance authorities and appropriations.

The Company’s investments in foreign government fixed maturity securities are held mainly in countries and currencies where the Company has policyholder liabilities, which allow the assets and liabilities to be more appropriately matched. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 52%, 18% and 16% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and the United Kingdom, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 79%, 12% and 4% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and Germany, respectively. No other country represented more than 6% and 3% of the Company's foreign government securities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Company has European investment exposure in its corporate fixed maturity securities of $785.2 million with a net unrealized gain of $31.4 million as of June 30, 2018 and $578.4 million with a net unrealized gain of $58.9 million as of December 31, 2017. Approximately 31% and 24% of the corporate fixed maturity European exposure is held in the financial industry as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company's largest European country exposure (the United Kingdom) represented approximately 4% of the fair value of the Company's corporate fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company's international investments are managed as part of the overall portfolio with the same approach to risk management and focus on diversification.

The cost or amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2018 by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

As of June 30, 2018, approximately 35% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California and Oregon, and the Canadian province of Ontario. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of

its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from less than $0.1 million to $12.6 million as of June 30, 2018 and less than $0.1 million to $12.7 million as of December 31, 2017.

8. Variable Interest Entities

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved with various types of investment entities which may be considered variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required. The Company’s maximum risk of loss is limited to the carrying value and unfunded commitments of its investments in the VIEs.

Consolidated VIEs

One of our subsidiaries is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as an investment adviser and manages and invests in CLOs and a real estate fund and may conduct other forms of investment activities. The Company determined the CLOs and real estate fund are VIEs and consolidated each because the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities due to (i) its role as collateral manager, which gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, and (ii) its economic interest in the entities, which exposes it to losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities.

In connection with planned formation of CLO structures, the Company forms special purpose entities capitalized by contributions from the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to capitalization, the special purpose entities purchase senior secured leveraged loans funded by contributions from the Company and a short-term warehousing credit facility. Borrowings from the warehousing credit facility are non-recourse to the Company and are fully repaid once the CLO closes. Additionally, the amounts contributed by the Company to fund the initial capitalization are returned after the CLO closes. The Company may elect to use the return of capital to purchase a direct investment in the CLO.

Collateralized Loan Obligations: The CLO entities are collateralized financing entities. The carrying value of the CLO liabilities is equal to the fair value of the CLO assets (senior secured leveraged loans) as the assets have more observable fair values. The CLO liabilities are reduced by the beneficial interests the Company retains in the CLO. CLO earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of the Company’s CLO investments, net investment income earned, and investment management and contingent performance fees earned. Investment management fees are reported as a reduction to investment expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the CLOs are legally isolated from the creditors of the Company and can only be used to settle the obligations of the CLOs. The liabilities of the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company and the Company has no obligations to satisfy the liabilities of the CLOs.

At June 30, 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries hold 6.0% of the most subordinated debt tranche of one CLO that closed in November 2017. In April 2018, a second CLO closed and the Company and its subsidiaries hold 9.4% of the most subordinated debt tranche of the CLO. At June 30, 2018, a third CLO structure was funded with $55.0 million in contributions and the fair value of borrowings from the short-term warehouse credit facilities was $174.3 million. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the three CLOs was $116.2 million as of June 30, 2018.

Real Estate Fund: Real estate fund earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the net investment income of the real estate fund, which includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments in the real estate fund, and investment management fees earned. The Company has a majority investment in this fund in the form of an equity interest. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the real estate fund was $83.6 million with unfunded commitments of $4.1 million as of June 30, 2018.

For all consolidated investment entities, intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Fair Value of VIE Assets and Liabilities

The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. See Note 9 for the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Amounts presented are as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Level 2 Securities

Corporate debt securities: These assets are comprised of senior secured leveraged loans. The Company values these securities using estimates of fair value from a pricing service which utilizes the market valuation technique. The primary observable market inputs used by the pricing service are prices of reported trades from dealers. The fair value is calculated using a simple average of the prices received.

Collateralized loan obligation notes: As the Company elected the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the CLO liabilities is set equal to the fair value of the CLO assets. The CLO notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the classification of the majority of the CLO financial assets.

Level 3 Securities

Real estate fund: These assets are comprised of investments in limited partnerships whose underlying investments are real estate properties. The market, income and cost approach valuation techniques are used to calculate fair value as appropriate given the type of real estate property, as well as the use of independent external appraisals. Significant unobservable inputs, including capitalization rates, discount rates, market comparables, expense growth rates, leasing assumptions and replacement costs, are used as appropriate to calculate fair value.

The following table summarizes the change in balance sheet carrying value associated with Level 3 assets held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018:

9. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures

The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


•	Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.

•

Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset.


•	Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset.

The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The amounts presented below for Other investments, Cash equivalents, Other assets, Assets and Liabilities held in separate accounts and Other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan, American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, modified coinsurance arrangements and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan, contingent considerations related to business combinations and other derivatives. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for Other investments and Assets and Liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

Reinsurance Recoverables Credit Disclosures

A key credit quality indicator for reinsurance is the A.M. Best financial strength ratings of the reinsurer. The A.M. Best ratings are an independent opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. The A.M. Best ratings for new reinsurance agreements where there is material credit exposure are reviewed at the time of execution. The A.M. Best ratings for existing reinsurance agreements are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or sooner based on developments. The A.M. Best ratings have not changed significantly since December 31, 2017, except for an increase in reinsurance recoverables that are included in the Not Rated category as a result of the acquisition of TWG. Specifically, legacy TWG reinsurance recoverables included $1.58 billion as of June 30, 2018 related to captive reinsurance arrangements with dealers which are substantially collateralized in the form of a letter of credit, trust account and funds withheld.

An allowance for doubtful accounts for reinsurance recoverables is recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers (net of collateral), reinsurer solvency, management’s experience and current economic conditions.

The Company carried an allowance for doubtful accounts for reinsurance recoverables of $0.3 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

10. Reserves

Reserve Roll Forward

The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported ("IBNR") reserves.

Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.

The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017
Claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period	$	3,782.2		$	3,301.2

Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to:
Current year	624.6			556.0

Total paid losses and loss adjustment expenses	961.0			818.8
Net claims and benefits payable, at end of period	678.3			560.5
Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other	2,824.8			2,532.8
Claims and benefits payable, at end of period	$	3,503.1		$	3,093.3


(1)	Acquired reserves from TWG on May 31, 2018 (the Acquisition Date) include $423.5 million of gross claims and benefits payable and $280.6 million of ceded claims and benefits payable. The reserve roll forward includes the activity of TWG from June 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.

The Company experienced favorable development in both six month periods presented in the roll forward table above. Favorable development in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was comparatively lower than the six months ended June 30, 2017. Global Housing and Global Lifestyle contributed $29.3 million and $51.7 million to the favorable development during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Favorable development for Global Housing decreased in 2018 in part due to reduced favorable development on catastrophes. Favorable development on catastrophes was $2.2 million and $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Excluding catastrophes, favorable development decreased for lender-placed homeowners products due to elevated severity on fire claims associated with prior periods and an increase in loss ratios associated with the runoff of REO policies. Favorable development for Global Lifestyle decreased in 2018 primarily from extended service contracts and credit insurance products, some of which is contractually subject to retrospective commission payments. The reduction was attributable to changing client mix, and consideration of prior development trends when finalizing year-end 2017 reserves. Another contributing factor to the reduction in favorable

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

development in 2018 was from the continued runoff of the Assurant Health business. Assurant Health contributed $0.7 million in favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $7.8 million in the comparable 2017 period.

12. Debt

As of June 30, 2018, we had $2.00 billion of outstanding debt. In addition to the debt issuances described below, we have $350.0 million in senior notes due 2023 and $375.0 million in senior notes due 2034, as well as a $450 million senior revolving credit facility, of which no borrowings have been made.

Debt Issuances

Senior Notes: In March 2018, the Company issued three series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million. The first series of senior notes is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.25% and is payable in a single installment due March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). The second series is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.20% per year, is payable in a single installment due September 2023 and was issued at a 0.233% discount (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The third series is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.90% per year, is payable in a single installment due March 2028 and was issued at a 0.383% discount (the “2028 Senior Notes”). At any time in whole or from time to time in part, the Company may redeem the 2021 Senior Notes on or after March 2019, the 2023 Senior Notes prior to August 2023 and the 2028 Senior Notes prior to December 2027.

Interest on the 2021 Senior Notes is payable quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year, beginning in June 2018. Interest on the 2023 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September of each year, beginning in September 2018. The interest rate payable on any series of the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time, if any of Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or S&P Global Inc. downgrades the credit rating assigned to such series of Senior Notes to Ba1 or below or to BB+ or below, respectively, or subsequently upgrades the credit ratings once the Senior Notes are at or below such levels. The following table details the increase in interest rate over the issuance rate by rating with the impact equal to the sum of the number of basis points next to such rating for a maximum increase of 200 basis points over the issuance rate:



	Rating Agencies
Rating Levels	Moody's (1)	S&P (1)	Interest Rate Increase (2)
1	Ba1	BB+	25 basis points
2	Ba2	BB	50 basis points
3	Ba3	BB-	75 basis points
4	B1 or below	B+ or below	100 basis points

Subordinated Notes: In March 2018, the Company issued subordinated notes due March 2048 with principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Subordinated Notes” and, together with the 2021 Senior Notes, 2023 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, the “Notes”) which bear interest from March 2018 to March 2028, at an annual rate of 7.00%, payable semi-annually in March and September of each year, beginning in September 2018 and ending in March 2028. The Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135%, payable quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year, beginning in June 2028. The Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time on or after March 2028 and prior to maturity at a redemption price set forth in the subordinated notes indenture, dated as of March 27, 2018 (the "Subordinated Notes Indenture"). At any time prior to March 2028, the Subordinated Notes will be redeemable in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a tax event, rating agency event or regulatory capital event as defined in the Subordinated Notes Indenture. In addition, the Company has the right, on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the Subordinated Notes for one or more consecutive interest periods for up to five years as described in the Subordinated Notes Indenture. At any time when the Company has given notice of its election to defer interest payments on the Subordinated Notes, the Company generally may not make payments on or redeem or purchase any shares of the Company’s capital stock or any of its debt securities or guarantees that rank upon our liquidation on a parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were $1.28 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds from the Notes together with the proceeds from the issuance of its 6.50% Series D mandatory convertible preferred stock (“MCPS”), available cash on hand at closing and common stock consideration, to fund the TWG acquisition and pay related fees and expenses. A portion of the aggregate proceeds was used to repay the $350.0 million 2.50% senior notes upon maturity in March 2018.

Term Loan and Bridge Loan Facilities

In March 2018, the commitments under the Company's $1.50 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility were terminated. In May 2018 the commitments under the Company's senior unsecured term loan facility were terminated. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of expense related to the amortization of costs capitalized in connection with such facilities.

Interest Rate Derivatives

In March 2018, the Company exercised a series of derivative transactions it had entered into in 2017 to hedge the interest rate risk related to expected borrowing to finance the TWG acquisition. The Company determined that the derivatives qualified for hedge accounting as effective cash flow hedges and recognized a deferred gain of $26.7 million upon settlement that was reported through OCI. The deferred gain will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 2023 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes on an effective yield basis, with $25.8 million remaining as of June 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company expensed $8.6 million of the premium paid for the derivatives as a component of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

In March 2018, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap under which the Company pays interest on $150.0 million of the 2021 Senior Notes at a fixed rate of 2.72% to the counterparty who in return pays the Company a variable rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR rate. The Company determined that the swap qualifies for hedge accounting as an effective cash flow hedge.

14. Stock Based Compensation

Under the Assurant, Inc. Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“ALTEIP”), as amended and restated in May 2017, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1,500,000 new shares of the Company's common stock to employees, officers and non-employee directors. Under the ALTEIP, the Company may grant awards based on shares of its common stock, including stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock (including performance shares), unrestricted stock, restricted stock

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and dividend equivalents. All share-based grants are awarded under the ALTEIP.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table shows a summary of RSU activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
RSU compensation expense	$	8.7		$	6.1		$	13.8		$	10.8
Income tax benefit	(1.5		)	(2.1		)	(2.3		)	(3.8		)
RSU compensation expense, net of tax	$	7.2		$	4.0		$	11.5		$	7.0
RSUs granted	32,330			31,554			421,829			205,199
Weighted average grant date fair value per unit	$	89.56		$	99.74		$	90.64		$	99.17
Total fair value of vested RSUs	$	2.6		$	3.5		$	18.8		$	23.9

As of June 30, 2018, there was $39.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Performance Share Units

The following table shows a summary of PSU activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
PSU compensation expense	$	3.1		$	3.2		$	7.3		$	0.1
Income tax benefit	(0.4		)	(1.1		)	(1.3		)	—
PSU compensation expense, net of tax	$	2.7		$	2.1		$	6.0		$	0.1
PSUs granted	—			—			—			237,623
Weighted average grant date fair value per unit	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	112.32
Total fair value of vested PSUs	$	25.6		$	29.4		$	25.6		$	29.4

Portions of the compensation expense recorded in prior years were reversed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the Company’s level of actual performance as measured against pre-established performance goals and peer group results. As of June 30, 2018, there was $14.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 year.

The fair value of PSUs with market conditions was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award. Expected volatilities for awards issued during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were based on the historical stock prices of the Company’s stock and peer group. The expected term for grants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was assumed to equal the average of the vesting period of the PSUs. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

In March 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted RSUs to the Company’s management committee, including its named executive officers. The RSUs had a three-year annual vesting schedule and reflected half of each executive’s annual target long-term incentive opportunity. The Compensation Committee elected to wait to grant PSUs to the management committee until the closing of the TWG acquisition in order to align the performance metrics for the PSUs with the Company’s expectations regarding its post-closing financial performance.

Assurant, Inc.

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

In July 2018, the Compensation Committee granted PSUs to the management committee that reflect the remaining half of each executive’s annual target long-term incentive opportunity plus an additional opportunity to further incentivize and retain executives with respect to the TWG acquisition. Payout for the PSUs is determined by reference to two metrics measured over a thirty-month performance period: (i) total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Index (weighted at 60%) and (ii) the realization of net pre-tax synergies in connection with the TWG acquisition (weighted at 40%) provided that a net operating earnings per share (excluding catastrophes) goal is met in 2020. The aggregate grant date fair value of the additional target opportunity provided to all members of the management committee, including the Company’s CEO and other named executive officers, was $11.1 million. The additional target opportunity granted to the Company’s CEO had a grant date fair value of $4.0 million.

15. Equity Transactions

Stock Repurchase

There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, $293.4 million remains under the total repurchase authorization. The Company repurchased 2,209,636 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a cost of $216.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, exclusive of commissions.

The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on market conditions, the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.

Issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of the MCPS, with a par value of $1.00 per share at a public offering price of $100.00 per share and liquidation preference of $100.00 per share, which included the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to purchase 375,000 additional shares of MCPS to cover over-allotments. The net proceeds from the sale of the MCPS was $276.4 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Refer to Note 12 for further details on the use of proceeds from this offering.

Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on March 15, 2021 (the "mandatory conversion date") into between 0.9354 and 1.1225 shares of common stock (respectively, the “minimum conversion rate” and “maximum conversion rate”), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of our common stock issuable on conversion of the MCPS will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price per share of our common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period preceding the mandatory conversion date. At any time prior to March 2021, holders may elect to convert each share of the MCPS into shares of common stock at the minimum conversion rate or in the event of a fundamental change at the specified rates as defined in the certificate of designations of the MCPS.

Dividends on our MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. The first dividend of $1.6792 per share of the MCPS, or $4.8 million in total, was paid in cash on June 15, 2018. Each subsequent dividend is expected to be $1.6250 per share of the MCPS. On July 12, 2018, the board declared a dividend of $1.6250 per share payable on September 17, 2018 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 1, 2018. We may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of our common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of our common stock in March, June, September and December of each year, commencing in June 2018 and ending in March 2021. No dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on common stock or any other class or series of junior stock, and no common stock or any other class or series of junior stock or parity stock may be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the MCPS for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in full, subject to certain limited exceptions.

16. Earnings Per Common Share

The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. Refer to Note 14 - Stock Based Compensation

and Note 15 - Equity Transactions for further information regarding potential common share issuances. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Assurant's qualified and non-qualified pension benefit plans were frozen on March 1, 2016. Effective December 31, 2017 Assurant Pension Plan No. 1 ("Plan No. 1") and Assurant Pension Plan No. 2 ("Plan No. 2") were merged into the Assurant Pension Plan (the "Plan"). The expected long-term return on plan assets for 2018 is 4.75%, reflecting a decrease from 6.75% in 2017 due to the reallocation of plan assets through 2018. The Plan's funded status increased to $83.7 million at June 30, 2018 from $81.3 million (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation) at December 31, 2017. This equates to a 112% and 111% funded status at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. No cash was contributed to the Plan during the first six months of 2018. Due to the Plan's current funded status, no additional cash is expected to be contributed to the Plan over the remainder of 2018.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $16.9 million and $18.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is involved in a variety of litigation relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. In particular, the Company is a defendant in class actions in a number of jurisdictions regarding its lender-placed insurance programs. These cases assert a variety of claims under a number of legal theories. The plaintiffs seek premium refunds and other relief. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these class

Assurant, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)

actions. We have participated and may participate in settlements on terms that we consider reasonable given the strength of our defenses and other factors.

The Company has established an accrued liability for various legal and regulatory proceedings. However, the possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the accrual. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending legal or regulatory action, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.

Guaranty Fund Assessments

Under state guaranty association laws, certain insurance companies can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for certain obligations to the policyholders and claimants of impaired or insolvent insurance companies that write the same line or similar lines of business. In 2009, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner (the “Commissioner”) placed long-term care insurer Penn Treaty Network America Insurance Company and one of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Penn Treaty”) in rehabilitation, an intermediate action before insolvency, and subsequently petitioned a state court to convert the rehabilitation into a liquidation. The state court began a hearing in July 2015 to consider the Commissioner’s most recent proposed rehabilitation plan, which contemplates a partial liquidation of Penn Treaty. In March 2017, the order of liquidation was granted. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company accrued an additional $1.4 million and $0.8 million of expense, respectively, related to Penn Treaty due to a revised estimated total loss liability and has a net liability of $6.3 million as of June 30, 2018 for remaining obligations related to the insolvency.

19. Income Taxes

In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), the Company recorded net discrete provision tax reform adjustments of $177.0 million and $(6.0) million for Assurant (pre-closing) and TWG, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has no revisions to the initial estimates and does not expect to finalize the analysis until the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed later in 2018.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded net tax benefits of $3.9 million in the Global Lifestyle segment, as a result of changes in estimates related to international taxes, and $5.7 million in the Corporate segment, as a result of the structuring of the combined Assurant and TWG legal entities. The benefits are reflected in the provision for income taxes line item in the consolidated statements of operations.

20. Dispositions

On August 1, 2018, the Company sold its mortgage solutions business to Xome, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of WMIH Corp., for cash consideration of $35.0 million and potential future payments based on revenue retention targets and certain types of new business. The sale includes Assurant Services, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries Assurant Field Services, Assurant Valuations Originations, Assurant Valuations Default and Assurant Title. The Company has entered into a transition services agreement to provide ongoing services for one year for fees approximating the cost of such services.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $43.5 million, when comparing the net assets of the mortgage solutions businesses held for sale to the estimated fair value less selling costs. The loss is classified in Underwriting, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The corresponding assets and liabilities of mortgage solutions after the impairment have been reclassified as net assets held for sale within Other assets and Accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively. Such amounts are not material to the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

General

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has four reportable segments, which are defined based on the nature of the products and services offered:


•	Global Housing: provides lender-placed homeowners, manufactured housing and flood insurance; renters insurance and related products (referred to as multifamily housing); and valuation and field services (referred to as mortgage solutions).


•	Global Lifestyle: provides mobile device protection and related services and extended service products and related services (referred to as Connected Living); vehicle protection services (referred to as Global Automotive) and credit insurance and other insurance (referred to as Financial Services).


•	Global Preneed: provides pre-funded funeral insurance.

•

Total Corporate and Other: Corporate and Other includes activities of the holding company, financing and interest expenses, net realized gains (losses) on investments, interest income earned from short-term investments held and income (expenses) primarily related to the Company's frozen benefit plans. Corporate and Other also includes the amortization of deferred gains associated with the sales of Fortis Financial Group, Long-Term Care and the Assurant Employee Benefits businesses through reinsurance agreements, expenses related to the acquisition of The Warranty Group (see below) and other unusual or infrequent items. Additionally, the Total Corporate and Other segment includes amounts related to the runoff of the Assurant Health business. As Assurant Health was a reportable segment in prior years, these amounts are disclosed for comparability.

The following discussion covers the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (“Second Quarter 2018" and "Six Months 2018") and the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (“Second Quarter 2017” and "Six Months 2017").

Executive Summary

On May 31, 2018, the Company closed its acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited (“TWG Holdings,” and together with its subsidiaries, “TWG”), a Bermuda limited company and a global provider of protection plans and related programs. Our results of operations for the Second Quarter and six months 2018 included the results of operations from TWG for the period June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018. For more information regarding the acquisition, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Report.

On August 1, 2018, the Company sold its mortgage solutions business to Xome, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of WMIH Corp., for cash consideration of approximately $35.0 million and potential future payments based on performance. The sale includes all of Assurant’s mortgage solutions businesses consisting of title, valuations and field services. The disposition allows Global Housing to better align its portfolio of business, increase resources allocated towards these markets and strengthen its businesses. For more information on the sale, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Report. Results for this business are included in Global Housing's results for Second Quarter 2018. The expected fair value of the proceeds less selling costs compared to net assets resulted in a net loss which was included in the consolidated statements of operations as an impairment on the held for sale net assets for Second Quarter 2018. In addition, the associated assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale as of June 30, 2018.

For Second Quarter 2018, consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders decreased $58.0 million, or 48%, to $62.2 million compared with net income of $120.2 million for Second Quarter 2017. The decrease reflects a $34.4 million after-tax loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business and $32.5 million of after-tax net charges related to the TWG acquisition.

Global Housing net income increased $16.4 million, or 29%, to $72.6 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $56.2 million for Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). Absent the lower effective tax rate, net income increased primarily due to favorable non-catastrophe loss experience in lender-placed insurance and growth in multifamily housing, partially offset by the ongoing lender-placed normalization.

Net earned premiums and fees decreased $7.7 million, or 1%, to $542.5 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $550.2 million for Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to lower volumes from our real estate owned ("REO") insurance products, the ongoing declines in placement rates from our lender placed insurance business and reduced client demand for originations and field services from our mortgage solutions business. These decreases were partially offset by growth in our multifamily housing, international and other housing products.

In June 2018, we finalized our $1.30 billion 2018 property catastrophe reinsurance program which includes coverage in the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America, down from $1.36 billion of coverage for the 2017 program mainly due to declining catastrophe exposure within the Company's lender-placed insurance business. Coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best. See “Catastrophe Reinsurance Program” below.

For 2018, we expect Global Housing's net income, excluding reportable catastrophes, to increase reflecting a lower effective tax rate of approximately 20% to 21%, with a portion of the tax savings to be reinvested for future growth, primarily in the second half of 2018. Net income is expected to decrease before taking into account the lower effective tax rate. Further declines in our lender-placed insurance and mortgage solutions businesses (until its sale) are expected to drive the decrease, partially offset by continued profitable growth in our multifamily housing business. We expect additional savings from expense management efforts to be realized towards the end of 2018 and into 2019. Revenue is expected to contract from 2017 levels due to declines in our lender-placed insurance business and mortgage solutions business until its sale. Excluding mortgage solutions for the full year, revenue is expected to increase due to growth in multifamily housing, international and other housing products.

Global Lifestyle net income increased $27.9 million, or 69%, to $68.1 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $40.2 million for Second Quarter 2017, benefitting from the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Excluding the impact of a lower effective tax rate, segment net income increased mainly due to strong growth from mobile programs launched in 2017, partially offset by continued declines in credit insurance, now a component of a business we refer to as Financial Services. A $3.9 million income tax benefit in our Financial Services business and $2.0 million of one-time after-tax benefits in our Global Automotive business also impacted the quarter. TWG contributed $9.4 million of income for the month of June 2018.

Net earned premiums and fees increased $266.2 million, or 32%, to $1.10 billion for Second Quarter 2018 from $836.0 million for Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to the acquisition of TWG. Excluding the impact of TWG, the increase was primarily due to recently launched and existing mobile programs, as well as growth in our Global Automotive business, mainly the Company's third-party administrator distribution channel, partially offset by lower mobile trade-in average selling prices.

For 2018, we expect Global Lifestyle's net income to increase after taking into account contributions from the TWG acquisition including operating synergies and a lower effective tax rate of approximately 22% to 24% and organic growth. A portion of the tax savings is to be reinvested for future growth, primarily in the second half of 2018. The tax rate may fluctuate based on geographic mix of income. Net income is expected to increase modestly before taking into account the lower effective tax rate and contributions from TWG. We expect profitable growth to be driven primarily by newly launched mobile programs, Global Automotive expansion and ongoing expense management efforts, partially offset by ongoing declines in Financial Services due to discontinued client partnerships in the second half of 2018. Revenue is expected to increase from growth in Connected Living and Global Automotive, globally.

Global Preneed net income increased to $14.7 million, or 15%, in Second Quarter 2018 from $12.8 million in Second Quarter 2017 primarily due to the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the passage of the TCJA.

Net earned premiums and fees increased $0.6 million, or 1%, to $46.9 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $46.3 million for Second Quarter 2017, driven by growth from our domestic preneed business, including prior period sales of the final need product, that was mostly offset by lower production in Canada compared to the favorable Second Quarter 2017.

For 2018, we expect Global Preneed's revenue and net income to increase modestly due to our alignment with market leaders, before taking into account recently enacted tax reform. Net income is expected to benefit from a lower effective tax rate of approximately 22%, with a portion of the tax savings to be reinvested for future growth, primarily in the second half of 2018.

Critical Factors Affecting Results

Our results depend on, among other things, the appropriateness of our product pricing, underwriting and the accuracy of our methodology for the establishment of reserves for future policyholder benefits and claims, returns on and values of invested assets, our ability to manage our expenses and achieve expense savings and the severity and frequency of catastrophes. Our results will also depend on our ability to profitably grow our fee-based, capital-light businesses, including Connected Living and multifamily housing, as well as Global Automotive, and manage the pace of declines in placement rates in our lender-placed insurance business. In addition, our results will be impacted by our ability to integrate the TWG acquisition. Factors affecting these items, including conditions in financial markets, the global economy and the markets in which we operate, and fluctuations in exchange rates and inflation, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. For more information on these and other factors that could affect our results, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors” and “Item 7—MD&A—Critical Factors Affecting Results” in our 2017 Annual Report.

Management believes the Company will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its needs over the next twelve months including the ability to pay interest on our debt and dividends on our common and preferred stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $172.3 million; net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.51 billion and net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.64 billion. We had $1.25 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018. Please see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below for further details.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2017 Annual Report describes the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The accounting policies and estimation process described in the 2017 Annual Report were consistently applied to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for Second Quarter 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Management generally identifies highly inflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rates over a three-year period exceeds 100%, in addition to considering other qualitative and quantitative factors. Beginning July 1, 2018, we anticipate the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary within our Global Lifestyle business will change from the local currency to U.S. Dollars as the subsidiary will be operating in a highly inflationary market. As a result, its non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities would be subject to re-measurement and recorded in Underwriting, general and administrative expenses, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations with reported results beginning after July 1, 2018. Although we continue to evaluate the impact, we do not anticipate the ongoing re-measurement to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition when considering the foreign exchange volatility applied to our Argentina net assets.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders decreased $58.0 million, or 48%, to $62.2 million for Second Quarter 2018, compared to $120.2 million for Second Quarter 2017. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a $34.4 million after-tax net loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business and $32.5 million of after-tax net charges related to the TWG acquisition. The decrease was also attributed to a $17.6 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments. The decrease was partially offset by the overall impact of a lower effective tax rate due to the TCJA and the higher net income from our Global Lifestyle business, which included earnings contributions from the acquisition of TWG.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders decreased $95.8 million, or 36%, to $168.2 million for Six Months 2018, compared to $264.0 million for Six Months 2017. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by $53.0 million of after-tax net charges related to the TWG acquisition, a $34.4 million after-tax loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business, a $19.4 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments, a $12.8 million reduction in after-tax amortization of deferred gains primarily associated with the sale of Assurant Employee Benefits and a $9.2 million decrease in net income from our Health operations. Additionally, the decrease reflects the absence of one-time items recorded in Six Months 2017, including income from client recoverables within our Global Lifestyle segment, a reversal of previously recorded compensation expense, as well as higher reportable catastrophes. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of a

lower effective tax rate due to the TCJA and higher net income from our Global Lifestyle business, which included $9.4 million in earnings contributions from the acquisition of TWG.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased $16.4 million, or 29%, to $72.6 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $56.2 million for Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Absent the lower effective tax rate, net income increased primarily due to a higher contribution from our lender-placed insurance business due to a reduction in non-catastrophe loss activity and in expenses and growth in multifamily housing, partially offset by declines in our lender-placed insurance business.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased $8.6 million, or 2%, to $558.4 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $567.0 million for Second Quarter 2017. Net earned premiums increased $7.3 million, or 2%, primarily driven by growth in our multifamily housing business from renters insurance, additional premiums from new commercial property and liability business as well as the continued growth of our international housing business. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes from our REO insurance product and the ongoing declines in placement rates in our lender-placed insurance business. Fees and other income

decreased $15.0 million, or 14%, primarily due to a reduction in mortgage solutions fee income driven by reduced client demand for originations and field services.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $15.6 million, or 3%, to $466.9 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $482.5 million for Second Quarter 2017. Total policyholder benefits decreased $1.0 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower non-catastrophe loss experience from our lender-placed insurance business and $1.0 million of favorable development on reportable catastrophe losses from Third Quarter 2017, mostly offset by growth in multifamily housing and other business described above. Reportable catastrophe losses include only individual catastrophic events that generated losses in excess of $5.0 million, pre-tax and net of reinsurance. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $18.2 million, or 7%, primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to reduced volumes from our mortgage solutions and lender-placed insurance businesses.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased $25.7 million, or 22%, to $143.8 million for Six Months 2018 from $118.1 million for Six Months 2017, primarily due to the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Additionally, segment income for Six Months 2018 included $7.7 million of after-tax reportable catastrophes, mainly from severe winter storms in the Northeastern U.S., compared to $0.6 million of after-tax reportable catastrophes for Six Months 2017. Absent the impact of these items, the increase was primarily due to growth in multifamily housing and a reduction in non-catastrophe loss activity and expenses in our lender-placed insurance business, partially offset by declines in our lender-placed insurance business.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased $16.2 million, or 1%, to $1.10 billion for Six Months 2018 from $1.12 billion for Six Months 2017. Net earned premiums increased $7.3 million, or 1%, primarily driven by growth in our multifamily housing business from renters insurance, additional premiums from new commercial property and liability business as well as the continued growth of our international housing business. The increase was partially offset by lower volumes from our REO insurance product and the ongoing declines in placement rates in our lender-placed insurance business. Fees and other income decreased $23.6 million, or 12%, primarily due to a reduction in mortgage solutions fee income driven by reduced client demand for originations and field services.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased $16.9 million, or 2%, to $920.5 million for Six Months 2018 from $937.4 million for Six Months 2017. Total policyholder benefits increased $4.8 million, or 1%, primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in net reportable catastrophe losses, excluding reinstatement premiums and other assessments. Underwriting, general and administrative expenses decreased $24.0 million, or 5%, primarily due to a decrease in expenses mostly driven by reduced volumes from our mortgage solutions and lender placed insurance businesses, as well as an increase in fees and reimbursements from the National Flood Insurance Program for processing flood claims for Hurricane Harvey.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased $27.9 million, or 69%, to $68.1 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $40.2 million for Second Quarter 2017, benefitting from a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Excluding the impact of a lower effective tax rate, segment net income increased mainly due to increased income from our Connected Living business, which was mostly driven by growth from recently launched mobile programs, partially offset by continued declines in credit insurance, now a component of the business we refer to as Financial Services. A $3.9 million income tax benefit in our Financial Services business and $2.0 million of one-time benefits in our Global Automotive business also impacted the quarter. TWG contributed $9.4 million of income for the month of June 2018.

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased $276.4 million, or 32%, to $1.14 billion for Second Quarter 2018 from $862.4 million for Second Quarter 2017. The increase in total revenue was largely attributed to additional net earned premiums, fee and other income and net investment income from the acquisition of TWG of $211.9 million for the month of June 2018. Excluding the impact of TWG, net earned premiums increased $36.5 million, or 6%, primarily driven by increased revenue from our Connected Living business due to growth from existing and recently launched mobile programs, as well as growth from our Global Automotive business, mainly from our third-party administrator distribution channel. Excluding the impact of TWG, fees and other income increased $27.1 million, or 15%, primarily driven by growth from recently launched mobile programs, partially offset by lower mobile trade-in average selling prices and volume and declines in the legacy extended service contract business. Excluding the impact of TWG, net investment income was consistent year over year.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $252.2 million, or 31%, to $1.05 billion for Second Quarter 2018 from $802.3 million for Second Quarter 2017. The increase in total benefits, losses and expenses was primarily attributed to additional benefits, losses and expenses from the acquisition of TWG. Excluding the impact of TWG, policyholder benefits increased $10.1 million, or 6%, primarily due to growth from our global mobile protection business. Excluding the impact of TWG, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired was consistent year over year. Excluding the impact of TWG, underwriting, general and administrative expenses increased $44.0 million, or 13%, primarily due to the growth from our global mobile programs and Global Automotive businesses.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased $31.3 million, or 34%, to $123.9 million for Six Months 2018 from $92.6 million for Six Months 2017, primarily due to the impact of a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA and $9.4 million in earnings contribution from TWG. Excluding the impact of these items, segment net income increased mainly due to increased income from our Connected Living business, which was mostly driven by growth from mobile programs launched in 2017 and continued growth in existing mobile programs. The increase was partially offset by $7.5 million of after-tax income from one-time client recoverables included in Six Months 2017, lower results from our mobile repair and logistics business and the continued runoff of our credit insurance products in our Financial Services business.

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased $395.6 million, or 23%, to $2.09 billion for Six Months 2018 from $1.69 billion for Six Months 2017. The increase was primarily attributed to additional net earned premiums, fee and other income and net investment income from the acquisition of TWG. Excluding the impact of TWG, net earned premiums increased $114.3 million, or 9%, mostly driven by increased revenue from our Connected Living business, due to growth from existing and recently launched mobile programs, as well as growth from our Global Automotive business. Excluding the impact of TWG, fees and other income increased $62.9 million, or 16%, primarily driven by growth from recently launched mobile programs, partially offset by a decrease from our mobile repair and logistics business due to lower domestic volumes and average selling price and declines in the legacy extended service contract business.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $375.6 million, or 24%, to $1.93 billion for Six Months 2018 from $1.56 billion for Six Months 2017. The increase in total benefits, losses and expenses was largely attributed to additional benefits, losses and expenses from the acquisition of TWG. Excluding the impact of TWG, policyholder benefits increased $43.1 million, or 13%, primarily due to growth and higher loss experience from our global mobile protection business. Excluding the impact of TWG, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased $27.6 million, or 5%, primarily driven by growth from our Global Automotive business. Excluding the impact of TWG, underwriting, general and administrative expenses increased $105.1 million, or 15%, primarily due to growth from our global mobile programs and Global Automotive businesses.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased to $14.7 million in Second Quarter 2018, or 15%, from $12.8 million in Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Absent the lower effective tax rate, Global Preneed net income was consistent as growth from our domestic preneed business, including prior period sales of the final need product, was offset by an increase in benefits from policies in runoff that are pegged to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”).

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased $3.5 million, or 3%, to $114.8 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $111.3 million for Second Quarter 2017. Total net earned premiums and fees and other income were slightly higher in Second Quarter 2018 compared to Second Quarter 2017 as growth from our domestic preneed business, including prior period sales of the final need product, was mostly offset by lower production in Canada. Net investment income increased $2.9 million, or 4%, primarily due to an increase in invested assets in line with the growth of the domestic preneed business.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $3.5 million, or 4%, to $96.0 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $92.5 million for Second Quarter 2017, primarily due to an increase in losses and credited interest on new and in-force policies and an increase in benefits on policies in runoff that are pegged to the CPI.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Segment net income increased to $24.5 million in Six Months 2018, or 8%, from $22.7 million in Six Months 2017, primarily due to a lower effective tax rate following the enactment of the TCJA. Absent the lower effective tax rate, Global Preneed net income decreased due to an increase in benefits from policies in runoff that are pegged to the CPI and an increase in information technology expenses.

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased $7.1 million, or 3%, to $226.8 million for Six Months 2018 from $219.7 million for Six Months 2017. Fees and other income increased $3.6 million, or 6%, primarily due to growth in the U.S. business and in the impact of foreign exchange. Net investment income increased $4.5 million, or 3%, due to an increase in invested assets in line with the growth of the domestic preneed business and in the impact of foreign exchange.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $9.2 million, or 5%, to $195.4 million for Six Months 2018 from $186.2 million for Six Months 2017, primarily due to an increase in benefits on policies in runoff pegged to the CPI, increased information technology expense and growth in the domestic preneed business.

Corporate and Other

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Results for Corporate and Other decreased $100.9 million to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $93.4 million for Second Quarter 2018 from net income attributable to common stockholders of $7.5 million for Second Quarter 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by $32.5 million of after-tax net charges related to the TWG acquisition and a $34.4 million after-tax net loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business. The decrease was also attributed to a $17.6 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments, a $3.3 million reduction in after-tax amortization of deferred gains primarily associated with the sale of Assurant Employee Benefits and an increase in interest expense from acquisition related financing.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased $34.5 million, or 65%, to $18.8 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $53.3 million for Second Quarter 2017. The decrease was primarily related to a $24.6 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments and an $8.4 million reduction in deferred gains primarily associated with Assurant Employee Benefits. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.8 million, or 49%, increase in net investment income mostly driven by $2.4 million of additional income earned on the pre-close investment of proceeds from acquisition related financing and $1.8 million of investment management fees earned from certain consolidated investment entities beginning in the Fourth Quarter 2017. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Report.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $93.1 million, or 220%, to $135.4 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $42.3 million for Second Quarter 2017. The increase was primarily related to $35.3 million of transaction and integration related expenses associated with the TWG acquisition and a $43.5 million loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business. Interest expense increased $13.6 million due to additional interest expense from acquisition related financing.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Results for Corporate and Other decreased $145.4 million to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $126.2 million for Six Months 2018 from net income attributable to common stockholders of $19.2 million for Six Months 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by $53.0 million of after-tax net charges related to the TWG acquisition and a $34.4 million after-tax net loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business. The decrease was also attributed to a $19.4 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments, a $12.8 million reduction in after-tax amortization of deferred gains primarily associated with Assurant Employee Benefits and an increase in interest expense from acquisition related financing.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased $58.2 million, or 54%, to $50.0 million for Six Months 2018 from $108.2 million for Six Months 2017. The decrease was primarily related to a $27.5 million unfavorable change in net realized gains (losses) on investments and a $26.9 million reduction in deferred gains primarily associated with Assurant Employee Benefits.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $125.4 million, or 152%, to $207.9 million for Six Months 2018 from $82.5 million for Six Months 2017. The increase was primarily related to $42.8 million of transaction and integration related expenses associated with the TWG acquisition and a $43.5 million net loss on the sale of our mortgage solutions business. Interest expense increased $22.5 million due to additional interest expense from acquisition related financing. Additionally, the increase was also due to the reversal in the first quarter of 2017 of previously recorded compensation expense.

Assurant Health

Assurant began to wind down its medical insurance operations in June 2015, and the Company substantially completed its exit of the health insurance market in 2016.

The Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act introduced new premium stabilization programs in 2014: reinsurance, risk adjustment, and risk corridor. As of June 30, 2018, we have no net reinsurance recoverables related to these programs. During Second Quarter 2018, we collected $0.1 million under the risk adjustment programs. Finally, we have not recorded a net receivable under the risk corridor programs because payments from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are considered unlikely.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Income

Net income decreased $3.3 million to $0.2 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $3.5 million for Second Quarter 2017. Net income decreased $9.2 million to $2.2 million for Six Months 2018 from $11.4 million for Six Months 2017. In each case, the decrease was primarily due to a reduction in favorable claims development as we continue to run-off the business.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased $5.6 million to $0.9 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $6.5 million for Second Quarter 2017. Total revenues decreased $10.0 million to $2.4 million for Six Months 2018 from $12.4 million for Six Months 2017. In each case, the decrease was primarily due to our exit of the health insurance market.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses in Second Quarter 2018 decreased to $0.6 million from $2.2 million for Second Quarter 2017. Total benefits, losses and expenses in Six Months 2018 decreased to a net benefit of $0.5 million compared to the Six Months 2017 net benefit of $4.5 million. The change is primarily due to a reduction in favorable claims development as we continue to run off the business.

Investments

The Company had total investments of $13.39 billion and $11.55 billion as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Net unrealized gains on the Company's fixed maturity portfolio decreased $385.6 million during Six Months 2018, from $906.1 million as of December 31, 2017 to $520.5 million as of June 30, 2018. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in Treasury yields and a widening in credit spreads.

The following table shows the credit quality of the Company's fixed maturity securities portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Fixed Maturity Securities by Credit Quality (Fair Value)	June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017

(1)

The net of revenues and expenses from consolidated investment entities of $2.6 million for Second Quarter 2018 includes $(0.3) million and $1.1 million of investment (loss) income from the Company's direct investment the real estate fund and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), respectively, and $1.8 million related to investment management fees. The net revenues and expenses from consolidated investment entities of $5.7 million for Six Months 2018 includes $1.6 million and $1.9 million of investment income from the Company's direct investment the real estate fund and CLOs, respectively, and $2.2 million related to investment management fees. Refer to Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities, for further detail.

Net investment income increased $13.9 million, or 11%, to $135.6 million for Second Quarter 2018 from $121.7 million for Second Quarter 2017. Net investment income for Second Quarter 2018 increased mainly due to a $9.3 million increase in investment income from TWG acquired investments and $1.0 million from the early payoff of a previously impaired structured security. Absent these items, the increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in invested assets and changes in the asset mix.

Net investment income increased $23.5 million, or 10%, to $265.8 million for Six Months 2018 from $242.3 million for Six Months 2017. Net investment income for Six Months 2018 increased mainly due to $9.3 million increase in investment income from TWG acquired investments, $3.3 million increase in interest income from real estate joint venture partnerships, $2.9 million of interest income from the recovery of losses on certain mortgage-backed securities and $1.0 million from the early payoff of a previously impaired structured security. Absent these items, the increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in invested assets and changes in the asset mix.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company owned $56.2 million of securities guaranteed by financial guarantee insurance companies. Included in this amount was $51.2 million of municipal securities, whose credit rating was A with the guarantee, but would have had a rating of BBB+ without the guarantee.

For more information on the Company's investments, see Notes 7 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Report.

Catastrophe Reinsurance Program

In June 2018, we finalized our $1.30 billion 2018 property catastrophe reinsurance program, which includes coverage in the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America. 2018 reinsurance premiums for this program are estimated to be $121 million, compared to $126 million in 2017. This reduction was mainly driven by the Company’s declining catastrophe exposure within its lender-placed insurance offering. Coverage was placed with more than 40 reinsurers that are all rated A- or better by A.M. Best. These amounts include the extension of the 2017 Latin America protection which will renew on September 1, 2018 and is subject to changes in coverage amount, retention and cost. In addition, actual reinsurance premiums will vary if exposure changes significantly from estimates or reinstatement premiums are required due to catastrophe events.

The U.S. per-occurrence catastrophe coverage includes a main reinsurance program providing $985 million of coverage in excess of a $120 million retention. In addition, it includes multiyear reinsurance contracts covering 32% of the $855 million layers in excess of $240 million. All layers of the program allow for one automatic reinstatement and include a cascading feature that provides multi-event protection in which higher coverage layers drop down as the lower layers and reinstatement limit are exhausted. Furthermore, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund provides coverage for losses up to 90% of $283 million in excess of a $88 million retention. In the event of a Florida hurricane, this coverage will be utilized prior to the main U.S. reinsurance program. After applying coverage, any remaining losses would then be eligible for recovery within the main reinsurance program. The program is covered for gross Florida losses of up to $1.4 billion. Utilizing both the coverage from the U.S. reinsurance program and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, the maximum retention for a Florida event would be $120 million.

International per-occurrence catastrophe coverage increased as the Company continues to expand its business in select property markets. This includes Caribbean protection of up to $162.5 million in excess of a $17.5 million retention, and Latin America protection of up to $183.5 million in excess of a $4.5 million retention (which is an extension of the 2017 reinsurance program that will renew on September 1, 2018 and is subject to changes in coverage amount and retention). In these regions, the Company’s product offerings are primarily residential dwelling policies covering the structure and contents.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Regulatory Requirements

Assurant, Inc. is a holding company and, as such, has limited direct operations of its own. Our holding company’s assets consist primarily of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our holding company’s future cash flows depend upon the availability of dividends and other statutorily permissible payments from our subsidiaries, such as payments under our tax allocation agreement and under management agreements with our subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and to make such other payments from our insurance subsidiaries will be limited by applicable laws and regulations of the states in which our subsidiaries are domiciled, which subject our subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. The dividend requirements and regulations vary from state to state and by type of insurance provided by the applicable subsidiary. These laws and regulations require, among other things, our insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends they can pay to the holding company. See “Item 1A — Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Industry — Changes in insurance regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth” in our 2017 Annual Report. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength ratings from A.M. Best. Regulators or rating agencies could become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, increasing capital requirements for our insurance subsidiaries.

In 2018, in addition to assigning ratings to the Company’s new debt issuances the following actions were taken by the rating agencies:

A.M. Best


•	Affirmed all ratings of legacy Assurant entities with a stable outlook, except for a revised outlook on the financial strength ratings to negative from stable for our two subsidiaries that sold the Assurant Employee Benefits business through reinsurance due to their diminished profile following the sale.

Liquidity

Holding Company

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $497.2 million in holding company capital. We use the term “holding company capital” to represent the portion of cash and other liquid marketable securities held at Assurant, Inc., out of a total of $642.5 million, which we are not otherwise holding for a specific purpose as of the balance sheet date. We can use such capital for stock repurchases, dividends, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes. $250.0 million of the $497.2 million of holding company capital is intended to serve as a buffer against remote risks (such as large-scale catastrophes).

Dividends or returns of capital paid by our subsidiaries to the holding company, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions, were approximately $478.0 million for Six Months 2018, including approximately $466.0 million from legal entities in our Global Housing, Global Lifestyle and Global Preneed operating segments, including approximately $225.0

million related to the reduction in deferred tax liabilities following the enactment of the TCJA, as well as approximately $12.0 million from Assurant Health and capital formerly backing Assurant Employee Benefits. In 2017, dividends, net of infusions and excluding amounts used for acquisitions, paid to the holding company from its subsidiaries were $374.0 million, which included approximately $229.0 million from legal entities in our Global Housing, Global Lifestyle and Global Preneed operating segments and approximately $145.0 million from Assurant Health and capital formerly backing Assurant Employee Benefits.

The Company also has a five-year senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. The 2017 Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and/or letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million, which may be increased up to $575.0 million, and is available until December 2022, provided the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The 2017 Credit Facility has a sublimit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million.

In addition to paying expenses, making interest payments on indebtedness and making dividend payments on our preferred stock, our capital management strategy provides for several uses of the cash generated by our subsidiaries, including without limitation, returning capital to common stockholders through share repurchases and dividends, investing in our business to support growth in targeted areas and making prudent and opportunistic acquisitions. From time to time, the Company may also seek to purchase its outstanding debt in open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. We made share repurchases and paid dividends to our common stockholders of $60.6 million and $508.5 million during Six Months 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. We expect 2018 operating segment dividends from Global Housing, Global Lifestyle and Global Preneed to exceed segment net income, subject to the growth of the business, rating agency and regulatory capital requirements. In addition, in 2018, we expect to deploy capital primarily to fund the financing and integration of TWG and other ongoing capital needs of the business and excess capital to fund other investments and return capital to shareholders, subject to market conditions.

Acquisition of TWG

On May 31, 2018, the Company closed its acquisition of TWG. In connection with the acquisition of TWG, the equityholders of TWG Holdings received a total of 10,399,862 shares of Assurant common stock, which represented approximately 16.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2018, and $894.9 million in cash consideration. The cash consideration and repayment of $595.9 million of TWG's existing debt was financed through a combination of available cash and external financing, described below.

In March 2018, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of its 6.50% Series D mandatory convertible preferred stock (“MCPS”), with a par value of $1.00 per share at a public offering price of $100.00 per share. Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on March 15, 2021 into between 0.9354 and 1.1225 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. We may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of our common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of our common stock quarterly, commencing in June 2018 and ending in March 2021. The first dividend of $1.6792 per share of the MCPS, or $4.8 million in total, was paid in cash on June 15, 2018. Each subsequent dividend is expected to be $1.6250 per share of the MCPS.

In March 2018, the Company issued three series of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million. The first series of senior notes is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.25% and is payable in a single installment due March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). The second series is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.20% per year, is payable in a single installment due September 2023 and was issued at a 0.233% discount (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The third series is $300.0 million in principal amount, bears interest at 4.90% per year, is payable in a single installment due March 2028 and was issued at a 0.383% discount (the “2028 Senior Notes”). At any time in whole or from time to time in part, the Company may redeem the 2021 Senior Notes on or after March 2019, the 2023 Senior Notes prior to August 2023 and the 2028 Senior Notes prior to December 2027.

In March 2018, the Company issued subordinated notes due March 2048 with a principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Subordinated Notes” and, together with the 2021 Senior Notes, 2023 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, the “Notes”) which bear interest from March 2018 to March 2028, at an annual rate of 7.00%. The Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135%, beginning in June 2028. The Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time on or after March 27, 2028 and prior to maturity at a redemption price set forth in the indenture, dated as of March 27, 2018 (the "Subordinated Notes Indenture"). At any time prior to March 2028, the Subordinated Notes will be redeemable in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a tax event, rating agency event or regulatory capital event as defined in the Subordinated Notes Indenture.

In March and May 2018, the commitments under the Company's senior unsecured bridge loan facility and senior unsecured term loan facility were terminated, respectively.

For additional information regarding the TWG acquisition, please see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and for additional information regarding the Notes and the MCPS, see Notes 12 and 15 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Assurant Subsidiaries

The primary sources of funds for our subsidiaries consist of premiums and fees collected, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments and net investment income. Cash is primarily used to pay insurance claims, agent commissions, operating expenses and taxes. We generally invest our subsidiaries’ excess funds in order to generate investment income.

We conduct periodic asset liability studies to measure the duration of our insurance liabilities, to develop optimal asset portfolio maturity structures for our significant lines of business and ultimately to assess that cash flows are sufficient to meet the timing of cash needs. These studies are conducted in accordance with formal company-wide Asset Liability Management guidelines.

To complete a study for a particular line of business, models are developed to project asset and liability cash flows and balance sheet items under a large, varied set of plausible economic scenarios. These models consider many factors including the current investment portfolio, the required capital for the related assets and liabilities, our tax position and projected cash flows from both existing and projected new business.

Alternative asset portfolio structures are analyzed for significant lines of business. An investment portfolio maturity structure is then selected from these profiles given our return hurdle and risk preference. Sensitivity testing of significant liability assumptions and new business projections is also performed.

Our liabilities generally have limited policyholder optionality, which means that the timing of payments is relatively insensitive to the interest rate environment. In addition, our investment portfolio is largely comprised of highly liquid fixed maturity securities with a sufficient component of such securities invested that are near maturity which may be sold with minimal risk of loss to meet cash needs. Therefore, we believe we have limited exposure to disintermediation risk.

Generally, our subsidiaries’ premiums, fees and investment income, along with planned asset sales and maturities, provide sufficient cash to pay claims and expenses. However, there may be instances when unexpected cash needs arise in excess of that available from usual operating sources. In such instances, we have several options to raise needed funds, including selling assets from the subsidiaries’ investment portfolios, using holding company cash (if available), issuing commercial paper, or drawing funds from our revolving credit facility. In addition, on January 22, 2018, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. This registration statement allows us to issue equity, debt or other types of securities through one or more methods of distribution. The terms of any offering would be established at the time of the offering, subject to market conditions. If we decide to make any additional offering of securities, we will consider the nature of the cash requirement as well as the cost of capital in determining what type of securities we may offer.

Dividends and Repurchases

We paid dividends of $0.56 per common share on June 19, 2018 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2018. On July 12, 2018, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.56 per share of common stock payable on September 18, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 27, 2018 and a quarterly dividend of $1.6250 per share of MCPS payable on September 17, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 1, 2018. Any determination to pay future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon: our subsidiaries’ payments of dividends and/or other statutorily permissible payments to us; our results of operations and cash flows; our financial position and capital requirements; general business conditions; legal, tax, regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends (including under the terms of our outstanding MCPS); and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no repurchases of our outstanding common stock. but the Company began to repurchase shares in July 2018. As of June 30, 2018, $293.4 million remained under the current repurchase authorization. The timing and the amount of future repurchases will depend on market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.

Management believes the Company will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its needs over the next twelve months, including the ability to pay interest on our senior and subordinated notes and dividends on our common and preferred shares.

Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

For information on our retirement and other employee benefits, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Report.

Cash Flows

We monitor cash flows at the consolidated, holding company and subsidiary levels. Cash flow forecasts at the consolidated and subsidiary levels are provided on a monthly basis, and we use trend and variance analyses to project future cash needs, making adjustments to the forecasts when needed.

The table below shows our net cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Net cash provided by (used in):	2018			2017
Operating activities	$	172.3		$	(0.3	)
Investing activities	(1,514.8		)	3.7
Financing activities	1,644.5			(192.3		)
Cash included in business classified as held for sale	(22.3		)	—
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(22.8		)	5.1
Net change in cash	$	256.9		$	(183.8	)

We typically generate operating cash inflows from premiums collected from our insurance products, fees from other products and income received from our investments while outflows consist of policy acquisition costs, benefits paid, and operating expenses. These net cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees, and investment income received and expenses paid.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $172.3 million and $(0.3) million for Six Months 2018 and Six Months 2017, respectively. The increase in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to the absence of an $85.0 million payment made in Second Quarter 2017 related to the lender-placed market conduct examination settlement agreements. Also contributing was an increase of sales in our Connected Living business, lower inventory purchases in our mobile business and $26.7 million increase in cash from the settlement of a series of derivative transactions that we entered into in 2017 to hedge interest rate risk related to the anticipated borrowings to be used for the TWG acquisition. These are partially offset by a $41.5 million payment of an accrued indemnification liability related to the previous sale of our general agency business and claim payments made, net of reinsurance, related to losses from 2017 reportable catastrophes.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(1.51) billion and $3.7 million for Six Months 2018 and Six Months 2017, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used for the TWG acquisition. In Second Quarter 2018, we used $1.49 billion of cash to fund a portion of the $2.47 billion purchase price of the TWG acquisition (which was offset by TWG cash acquired of $277.3 million) compared to $125.0 million used in the first quarter of 2017 for the acquisition of Green Tree Insurance Agency, Inc. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Also contributing to the decrease is $533.5 million of net cash used by our consolidated investment entities to purchase senior secured leveraged loans in connection with the planned formation of CLO structures. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The remaining changes were due to the ongoing management of our investment portfolio.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1.64 billion and $(192.3) million for Six Months 2018 and Six Months 2017, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the financing related to the TWG acquisition. Net proceeds from the issuance of debt and preferred stock were $1.28 billion and $276.4 million, respectively. The Company used $350.0 million to replace the senior notes that matured during first quarter of 2018. Also contributing to the increase is $494.0 million of net cash provided by our consolidated investment entities mostly related to the issuance of CLO notes for CLO structures that were closed during the year and borrowings from the short-term warehouse facilities used to fund the planned formation of CLO structures. This was partially offset by the repayment of borrowings from the short-term warehouse facilities for CLO structures that closed during the year. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The table below shows our cash outflows for interest and dividends for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017
Interest paid on debt	$	22.3	$	24.0
Common stock dividends	60.6		60.0
Preferred stock dividends	4.8		—
Total	$	87.7	$	84.0

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, we issue letters of credit for various purposes, including to support reinsurance agreements. These letters of credit are supported by commitments with financial institutions. We had $16.9 million and $18.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K described our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. There were no material changes to the assumptions or risks during Second Quarter 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2018. They have concluded, except as noted below, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, and provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On May 31, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (“TWG”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, TWG represented about 11% and 6% of consolidated revenues, respectively, and 15% and 6% of net income attributable to common stockholders, respectively. At June 30, 2018, TWG represented 27% of total assets. The Company is in the process of evaluating internal control over financial reporting for TWG, and accordingly, has excluded TWG this quarter from its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting for purposes of its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the TWG acquisition discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff, and may from time to time be subject to a variety of legal and regulatory actions relating to our current and past business operations, including regulatory examinations, investigations and inquiries. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of certain matters, which description is incorporated herein by reference. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any litigation, regulatory examinations or investigations, it is possible that the outcome of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, based on currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. For discussion of potential risks or uncertainties affecting us, please refer to “Item 1A-Risk Factors” included in our 2017 Annual Report. There have been no material changes during Second Quarter 2018.
