2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation, including the change to the segment measure of profitability described in Note 4 and changes in future policy benefits and expenses and reinsurance recoverables from the modified retrospective application of the new accounting pronouncement targeted improvements to long duration contracts as described in Notes 3 and 9.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The following table provides a description of ASUs recently issued by the FASB and the impact of their adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Adopted
The table below describes the impacts of the ASUs adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2023:

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
| Standard | Summary of the Standard | Effective date Method of Adoption | Impact of the Standard on the Company’s Financial Statements | ||||||||
| ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, as amended by ASU 2019-09, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date, as amended by ASU 2020-11, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application and as amended by ASU 2022-05, Financial services—Insurance (Topic 944): Transition for Sold Contracts | The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income: and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. In December 2022, the FASB issued guidance to provide entities an accounting policy election to not apply the accounting guidance to contracts or legal entities sold and derecognized before the effective date when the entity has no significant continuing involvement with them. The election may be applied on a transaction-by-transaction basis. | January 1, 2023, to be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively to January 1, 2021 (with early adoption permitted) | The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method on liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses to January 1, 2021 for long-term care insurance contracts that have been fully reinsured. The Company also adopted the amended guidance in ASU 2022-05 and elected to not apply the amended accounting guidance to long duration contracts of legal entities sold and derecognized before the January 1, 2023 effective date as the Company has no significant continuing involvement with them. The adoption of this standard along with the amended guidance on transition has no impact on equity or net income on the long-term care contracts as they are fully reinsured with third party reinsurers. However, disclosure along with a roll-forward table on a gross basis on the long-term care business is presented in Note 9. |

| ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers | The guidance improves comparability after a business combination is reported in the acquirer’s financial statements by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. Generally, the acquirer will recognize the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in the acquisition accounting. Under the amended guidance, the acquirer should account for the acquired revenue contracts as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. | January 1, 2023, to be applied prospectively (with early adoption permitted). | The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2023. The amendments will be applied to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. |
Not Yet Adopted
As of March 31, 2023, ASUs not yet adopted were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
4. Segment Information
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had three reportable segments: Global Lifestyle, Global Housing and Corporate and Other. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability, as net income, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, non-core operations (defined below), restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), Assurant Health runoff operations (described below), interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, as well as other highly variable or unusual items.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company realigned the composition of its reportable segments to correspond with changes to its operating structure. As a result, the Global Housing segment is now comprised of two key lines of business: Homeowners, and Renters and Other. Certain specialty products, mainly the leased and financed business, previously reported in the Global Housing segment are now reported in Global Lifestyle to better align with the Company’s go-to-market strategy. This realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results.
Beginning with second quarter 2022, the Company changed the calculation of its segment measure of profitability, Adjusted EBITDA, to exclude certain businesses which the Company expects to fully exit, including the long-tail commercial liability businesses in Global Housing (sharing economy and small commercial businesses), as well as certain legacy long-duration insurance policies within Global Lifestyle (collectively referred to as “non-core operations”), and presented them as a reconciling item to consolidated net income. The non-core operations have been or are in the process of being exited by the Company, but do not qualify as held for sale or discontinued operations under GAAP accounting guidance. All prior period amounts have been revised, which impacts both segment Adjusted EBITDA and other adjustments under reconciling items to consolidated net income, but does not impact consolidated net income.
In second quarter 2022, segment Adjusted EBITDA was also revised for an error related to reinsurance of claims and benefits payable within the Connected Living business unit in the Global Lifestyle segment, and for other unrelated immaterial errors. See Note 2 for more information.
The following table presents segment Adjusted EBITDA with a reconciliation to net income:

5. Contract Revenues
The Company partners with clients to provide consumers with a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products are accounted for as insurance contracts and are recognized over the term of the insurance protection provided. Revenues from service contracts and sales of products are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects 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 from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statements of operations are $247.2 million and $278.0 million for Global Lifestyle and $19.9 million and $22.0 million for Global Housing for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Global Lifestyle
In the Global Lifestyle segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Connected Living business. Through partnerships with mobile carriers, the Company provides administrative services related to its 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. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.

(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
The Company also repairs, refurbishes and then sells mobile and other electronic devices, on behalf of its clients, for a bundled per unit fee. The entire processing of the device is considered one performance obligation with a standalone selling price and thus, the per unit fee is recognized when the products are sold. Payments are generally due prior to shipment or within a short-term period.
Global Housing
In the Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Homeowners business. As part of the Homeowners business, the Company provides loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. The Company generally invoices its 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. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.
Contract Balances
The receivables and unearned revenue under these contracts were $203.6 million and $169.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023, and $271.7 million and $171.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. These balances are included in premiums and accounts receivable and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in unearned revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $21.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively.
In certain circumstances, the Company defers upfront commissions and other costs in connection with client contracts in excess of one year where the Company can demonstrate future economic benefit. For these contracts, expense is recognized as revenues are earned. The Company periodically assesses recoverability based on the performance of the related contracts. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $54.2 million and $61.4 million, respectively, of such intangible assets attributed to service contracts that will be expensed over the term of the client contracts.

Total gross unrealized losses represented approximately 10% and 12% of the aggregate fair value of the related securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Approximately 21% and 60% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 3,685 and 3,826 individual securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not recognize credit-related losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value.
The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 33% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of Texas, California and Maryland. 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 $9.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios. The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan, and is commonly expressed as a percentage. The debt-service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt-service payments and is commonly expressed as a ratio. The loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are generally updated annually in the fourth quarter.

7. 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. 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 or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability.
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, assets held in and liabilities related to 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 (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP, 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.

9. 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.

(1)Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $168.3 million and $75.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program.
The Company experienced net favorable loss development of $6.5 million and $36.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as presented in the roll forward table above.
Global Lifestyle contributed $17.5 million and $39.5 million to the net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net favorable loss development in both periods was attributable to nearly all lines of business across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience each period. The significant favorable development in Global Automotive during 2022 was due to a favorable adjustment to align with observations on lower frequency and severity. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable.
Global Housing contributed $1.5 million of net unfavorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $4.7 million of net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net unfavorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of unfavorable development from prior catastrophe events of $7.8 million, partially offset by favorable non-catastrophe development of $6.3 million. The unfavorable development primarily consisted of $6.8 million related to Winter Storm Elliott (which occurred in late December 2022) as a result of higher severity

than initially projected. The favorable non-catastrophe development was driven by $4.6 million of favorable frequency related to lender-placed products in accident year 2022, as well as favorable severity due to lower than anticipated inflation. The net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was attributable to multiple lines of business with a concentration in recent accident years.
The sharing economy and small commercial lines of business, reported within non-core operations, contributed $10.7 million and $12.5 million in net unfavorable loss development during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $10.7 million in net unfavorable loss development consisted of $11.2 million from sharing economy, driven by reserve increases related to higher claim count expectations and an increase in loss adjustment expenses, partially offset by $0.5 million in favorable loss development from small commercial.
All others contributed $1.2 million and $5.1 million of net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Long-Duration Contracts
The Company adopted the targeted improvements accounting guidance for long-duration insurance contracts as of January 1, 2023, using a modified retrospective method on liabilities for future policy benefits and expenses to January 1, 2021 for long-term care insurance contracts that have been fully reinsured. The Company also elected to not apply the amended accounting guidance to long-duration contracts of legal entities sold and derecognized before the January 1, 2023 effective date as the Company has no significant continuing involvement with them.
Under the transition guidance, the long-term care insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts based on the contract’s issue year. Premiums are recognized when due as net earned premiums in the consolidated statement of operations. A future policy benefits and expenses reserve is recorded as the present value of estimated future policy benefits and expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums. The net premium ratio (“NPR”) approach is used to recognize a liability when expected insurance benefits are accrued over the life of the contract in proportion to premium revenue. Policy expense assumptions are locked in as of December 31, 2020 as the long-term care insurance products are in run-off as of the transition date. Actual premiums and benefits are recognized on a quarterly basis in the consolidated statement of operations allocated in proportion to prior period cash flow projections at the cohort level. The updated cash flows used in the calculation are discounted using the discount rate used in the last premium deficiency test update prior to December 31, 2020 (the “original discount rate”) and presented as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The revised NPR is used to measure benefit expense based on the recognized premium revenue in the period. The difference between the updated future policy benefits and expenses reserve opening period and previous ending period due to updating the NPR is presented as a remeasurement gain or loss (e.g., a cumulative catch-up adjustment) in policyholder benefits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
A remeasurement of the ending reporting period future policy benefits and expenses reserve is calculated using the current upper medium grade fixed-income corporate bond instrument yield as of the consolidated balance sheet ending period (the “current discount rate”). The current discount rate used is an externally published US corporate A index weighted average spot rate that is updated quarterly and effectively matches the duration of the expected cash flow streams of the long-term care reserves. The difference between the ending period future policy benefits and expenses reserve measured using the original discount rate and the future policy benefits and expenses reserve measured using the current discount rate is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The long-term care insurance contracts are fully reinsured and there is no impact to consolidated stockholders’ equity or net income as the reserves are fully reinsured.

Concurrent with the transition period beginning January 1, 2021, the Company elected to account for the long-term care insurance contracts using reserve updates on a quarter lag whereby the September 30, 2020 cash flow and other assumptions are used for the pre-adoption December 31, 2020 future policy benefits and expenses reserve. Under the modified retrospective method, the long-term care insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts based on the contract’s issue year. Premium deficiency reserves are allocated proportional to the cohort’s reserve balance as of the transition date of December 31, 2020. At the cohort level, the NPR calculation is performed, and the unlocking of the NPR for cohorts in excess of 100% is recognized through opening retained earnings. A balance sheet remeasurement of the revised future policy benefits and expenses reserve is recorded using the current discount rate as of December 31, 2020 with the remeasurement amount recorded through AOCI.
Discount rate changes between the original and current discount rate as of December 31, 2020 were significant. The original discount rate at transition is a spot rate of 5.95% which is based on the most recent premium deficiency unlocking discount rate prior to transition using asset yields from investments allocated to the product at the time of the unlocking of the assumption. The current discount rate at transition was 1.69% reflecting prevailing interest rates as of December 31, 2020. The amended guidance has no impact to consolidated stockholders’ equity or net income on the long-term care insurance contracts as the reserves are fully reinsured.

Debt Issuance
2026 Senior Notes: In February 2023, the Company issued senior notes due February 2026 with an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million, which bear interest at a rate of 6.1% per year and were issued at a 0.035% discount to the public (the “2026 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, beginning on August 27, 2023. Prior to January 27, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium as described in the 2026 Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. On or after that date, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2026 Senior Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date.
In anticipation of the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge the risk associated with changes in interest rates up to the date the 2026 Senior Notes were issued. The Company determined that the derivative qualified for cash flow hedge accounting and recognized a deferred gain of $1.4 million upon settlement which was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 2026 Senior Notes on an effective yield basis.
Debt Redemption
In March 2023, the Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Senior Notes (and available cash on hand) to redeem $175.0 million of the $225.0 million then outstanding principal amount of its 4.20% Senior Notes due September 2023 plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, the Company recognized a net gain from the extinguishment of the debt of $0.1 million. The net gain resulted from the recognition of a previously deferred gain from the termination of a hedge of the interest rate risk associated with the redeemed notes, partially offset by the immediate recognition of the remaining deferred debt issuance costs relating to the redeemed notes.
11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Certain amounts included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income are net of reclassification adjustments. The following tables summarize those reclassification adjustments (net of taxes) for the periods indicated:

12. Earnings Per Common Share
The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic EPS and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from common shares issuable upon vesting of performance share units (“PSUs”) and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) using the treasury stock method. The outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Average PSUs totaling 61,590 and 14,777 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method.
13. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan (“Assurant Pension Plan”) covering substantially all employees prior to closing to new hires on January 1, 2014. The Company also has various non-contributory, non-qualified supplemental plans covering certain employees, including the Assurant Executive Pension Plan and the Assurant Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The qualified and non-qualified plans are referred to as “Pension Benefits” unless otherwise noted. In addition, the Company provides certain life and health care benefits (“Retirement Health Benefits”) for retired employees and their dependents. The Pension Benefits and Retirement Health Benefits (together, the “Plans”) were frozen on March 1, 2016.
In February 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Health Benefits to terminate effective December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Benefits will be paid up to the Termination Date. The Retirement Health Benefits obligations were re-measured using a discount rate of 1.55%, selected based on a cash flow analysis using a bond yield curve as of February 29, 2020, and the fair market value of the Retirement Health Benefits assets as of February 29, 2020. The remeasurement resulted
Assurant, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in millions, except number of shares and per share amounts)
in a reduction to the Retirement Health Benefits obligations of $65.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be reclassified from AOCI as it is amortized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining period until the Termination Date.
The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $93.5 million at March 31, 2023 and $94.1 million at December 31, 2022 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 117% funded status at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, no cash was contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan. Due to the Assurant Pension Plan’s current funded status, no additional cash is expected to be contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan over the remainder of 2023.
14. Restructuring and Related Impairment Charges
In December 2022, the Company finalized its plan to realize greater efficiencies by continuing to simplify its business portfolio and leverage its global footprint to reduce costs. This included realigning its organizational structure and talent to support its business strategy (the “transformational plan”). The Company also accelerated its ongoing real estate consolidation to support work-from-home arrangements given its increasingly hybrid workforce (the “return to work strategy”). The Company expects to complete these actions in 2023.
The following table summarizes the costs by major type that are recorded in underwriting, selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, cumulative costs incurred through December 31, 2022 and the estimated remaining costs to be incurred. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be cash. Restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities) are not allocated to a reportable segment.

15. 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 $2.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these proceedings. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable.
The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. 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 proceeding, 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.
16. Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
The Company revised its prior period financial statements for an error related to reinsurance of claims and benefits payable within the Connected Living business unit in the Global Lifestyle segment occurring in late 2018 through first quarter 2022 that resulted in an understatement of policyholder benefits and an overstatement of net income. See Note 2 for additional information. In addition, the Company has corrected other unrelated immaterial errors which were previously recorded in the periods in which the Company identified them.
A summary of revisions to our previously reported financial statements is presented below (in millions, except for per share data).
