INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To 2-10 Holdco, Inc.,

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of 2-10 Holdco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 18, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 18, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

---

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

2-10 holdco, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the Period Ended December 18, 2024

(in millions, except profit units, per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)

 

Note 1 - Description of the Business

 

2-10 Holdco, Inc. (the “Company” or “2-10 Home Buyers Warranty”) covers homeowners with its warranty plans and partners with thousands of real estate professionals, home builders and service contractors to help home buyers, sellers and owners to mitigate risk, save money and have protection from unexpected and costly repairs. 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was founded and is based in Colorado.

 

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

These consolidated financial statements were prepared for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 18, 2024. All references within these consolidated financial statements to the period ended December 18, 2024 refer to this period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions required under U.S. GAAP that may differ from actual results. The most significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, the accrual for losses related to claims, the determination of credit losses on investments, and the valuation of marketable securities, goodwill and intangible assets.

Revenue

Resale Warranty Revenue

The Company enters into home warranties which are generally one year in duration and sold to customers that are homeowners. These home warranties are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company has determined the warranty contract represents the single performance obligation of providing repairs or replacement for covered systems and appliances. These services are generally for a fixed amount paid upfront or monthly over the term of the contract. Revenue is recognized over time using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts over the contract term (“claims emergence basis”). Those costs are incurred on an other than straight-line basis and bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under the contracts.

Administrative fees related to the handling of customers’ monthly credit card payments for home warranties are also earned ratably over the term of the contract. All contracts can be cancelled by the customer at any time, which could result in a refund of payments for periods in which service has not been provided. The Company has the right to cancel the contract due to non-payment by the customer.

New Home Structural Warranty Revenue

The Company offers new home structural warranties to builders participating in its new home warranty program. These insurance-backed warranties are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 944, Financial Services – Insurance (“ASC 944”) and generally have one-, two- and ten-year durations.

Premium revenue is recognized over time in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. Amounts not earned and recognized to date are recognized as deferred insurance premiums on the consolidated statement of financial position.

---

The Company also performs non-insurance-backed services within the new home structural program, which are accounted for under ASC 606. These services include the following:

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce its loss exposure by reinsuring certain levels of risk with reinsurers. Reinsurance is accounted for in accordance with ASC 944. Premiums ceded are expensed over the term of underlying insurance policies, and the unexpired portion of reinsurance is deferred and recognized as deferred reinsurance on the consolidated statement of financial position. Anticipated reinsurance recoverables for paid and unpaid losses under these contracts are recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with the terms of the underlying contracts. Reinsurance recoverables on paid losses were $1.5 million as of December 18, 2024 and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Ceding Commission Income

Ceding commissions are earned in the same proportion as the ceded premiums to which they relate. Ceding commissions are intended to cover a portion of policy acquisition costs and also reimburse the Company for unallocated loss adjustment expenses. Amounts which represent a recovery of acquisition costs are treated as a reduction of deferred policy acquisition costs with any excess recorded as deferred ceding commission income and earned into income based on the underlying pattern of insurance risk. Amounts not recorded as income to date are recorded as deferred ceding commissions on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market funds, certificates of deposit and other debt securities with remaining maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company maintains deposits at financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Receivables, Less Allowance

Trade receivables are recorded at cost less an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses resulting from the expected failure or inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company recognizes the allowance for expected credit losses at inception and reassess it quarterly based on management’s expectation of the asset’s collectability. Management estimates credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, utilizing a current expected credit loss impairment model. As of December 18, 2024, the allowance for credit losses related to trade receivables was less than $0.1 million.

Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified as the average receivable balance is small. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

Non-trade receivables consist of $0.2 million of investment income receivable and $0.2 million of recoverables from builders under the new home warranty program. As of December 18, 2024, there is no accrual for credit loss against non-trade receivables.

---

Marketable Securities

The Company's marketable securities are classified as available‑for‑sale investments and reported at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position. Unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statement of financial position. Realized gains and losses on the sale and redemption of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification and are included in investment income, net on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective‑interest method. This amortization and accretion is included in investment income, net on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

The Company evaluates marketable securities investments on a quarterly basis to assess whether any decline in fair value necessitates the recognition of an allowance for credit loss. Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available-for sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. As of December 18, 2024, the Company had no allowance for credit losses related to available-for-sale securities.

Accrued interest receivable related to available-for-sale securities was $0.2 million as of December 18, 2024 and was not included in the allowance for credit loss assessment.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term. The Company uses the straight‑line method to calculate depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to 40 years.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use. Qualifying software costs are capitalized during the application development stage, placed in service once substantially complete and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years. Costs incurred in the pre-application development stage are expensed as incurred. For the period ended December 18, 2024, the Company capitalized software costs of $4.1 million.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable when compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the asset. For the period ended December 18, 2024, there were no impairments recorded.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived Intangible assets consist of trademarks, trade names, and insurance licenses. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or when events and circumstances occur that indicate an impairment may be possible. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. For the period ended December 18, 2024, there were no impairments recorded.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The Company incurs policy acquisition costs that are directly related to the issuance of new home structural warranties. Policy acquisition costs include underwriting and risk management expenses, premium taxes, and credit reporting. These costs have been capitalized and are amortized over the relevant revenue recognition period. For the period ended December 18, 2024, the amortization of these costs was $3.3 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

---

Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs

Customer acquisition costs consist of commissions and other costs that are incremental costs incurred to obtain a resale customer contract and otherwise would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs have been capitalized and are amortized using the same pattern as the related revenue is recognized. This generally follows the pattern of expected claims emergence over the terms of the related home warranties, which are generally one year in duration. For the period ended December 18, 2024, the amortization of these costs was $6.3 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Deferred Revenue

Contract liabilities arise when payment is made upfront prior to the performance of services under the contract. Deferred revenue totaled $41.4 million and $41.5 million as of December 18, 2024 and January 1, 2024, respectively. There was approximately $24 million of revenue recognized during the period ended December 18, 2024 that was included in deferred revenue as of January 1, 2024.

Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Reserves

The Company’s unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all reported claims associated with its insurance policies and includes the estimated costs of claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is based upon the facts of each case and the Company’s experience with similar cases. The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain and complex process. Reserve estimates are primarily derived using an actuarial estimation process in which historical loss patterns are applied to actual paid losses and reported losses (paid losses plus individual case reserves established by claim adjusters) for a warranty or report year to create an estimate of how losses are likely to develop over time. Reserve estimates are reviewed and updated annually. Any resulting adjustments to estimates are reflected in current results of operations. The Company reports its unpaid losses and loss adjustment reserves gross of the amounts related to unpaid losses recoverable from reinsurers and net of amounts ceded to reinsurers.

Premium Deficiencies

The Company recognizes a premium deficiency when there is a probable loss on a new home structural warranty. A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected losses and loss adjustment expenses, unamortized deferred policy acquisition costs and maintenance costs exceed the unearned premium and anticipated investment income. As of December 18, 2024, the Company had no premium deficiencies.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the period ended December 18, 2024 were $6.3 million and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Self-Insurance for Medical Claims

The Company has a self-insured arrangement for its health care benefits. Under this program, the Company pays all claims, subject to annual stop-loss limitations both for individual claims and claims in the aggregate. Losses are accrued based on actual claims outstanding and the estimated costs of claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. As of December 18, 2024, the Company has accrued $0.3 million for unpaid health care benefits, which is included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of a profit unit using the option pricing method and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company does not apply an estimate for forfeitures in its determination of stock-based compensation expense.

---

Income and Other Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset‑and‑liability method, which requires the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent deferred tax assets may not be recoverable after consideration of the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income.

The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance requires the Company to recognize tax benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. Interest and penalties, if any, are recognized as income tax expense.

The Company presents taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. These taxes would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller and a customer, including sales taxes, use taxes, value‑added taxes, and some types of excise taxes.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company also applies the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the fair values due to their short‑term nature.

---

Restricted Net Assets

There are regulatory restrictions on the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to transfer funds, including for the payment of ordinary and extraordinary dividends, as a result of regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can make. As of December 18, 2024, the total net assets subject to these regulatory restrictions was $19.0 million.

 

Note 3 - Revenue

Resale Warranty Revenue

Resale warranty revenue is generated from home warranties, which generally have a duration of one year. Revenue is recognized over the period covered by the contract using the input method in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contracts. Resale warranty revenue recognized for the period ended December 18, 2024, inclusive of administrative fees related to the handling of customer’s monthly credit card payments, was $145.7 million. See Note 2 for additional information on the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies.

New Home Structural Warranty Revenue

New home structural warranty revenue is generated through enrolling builder members and homes in the Company's new home warranty program. Builder members, as a result of their participation in the new home warranty program, are eligible to offer the benefits of a new home structural warranty to their customers, the new homeowners. These contracts generally have one-, two- and ten-year durations.

Revenue generated from these insurance-backed contracts is recognized over time in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing the services under the contract. New home structural warranty revenue recognized for the period ended December 18, 2024, inclusive of ceded commission income, was $33.5 million. Revenue generated in the new home warranty program which is not insurance-backed includes claims administrative services (two-year contracts), warranty administrative services (one-, two- and ten-year contracts) and builder members’ enrollments fees (one-year contracts). Revenue from these non-insurance-backed services for the period ended December 18, 2024 was $5.3 million.

A subsidiary of 2-10 Holdco, Inc., New Home Warranty Insurance Company, a risk retention group, (the “RRG”) limits maximum losses through its reinsurance agreements. The RRG has entered into reinsurance contracts, whereby the RRG cedes 77.5%, as of December 18, 2024, of the premiums and losses related to risks up to $2.0 million and 100% of premiums and losses related to risks in excess of $2.0 million, up to the maximum policy limit. The RRG is also paid a ceding commission based off gross ceded premiums to reimburse certain costs related to the underwriting and issuance of new contracts. As of December 18, 2024, the ceding commission for the two reinsurance partners was 28.5%. A portion of the new home structural warranty fee collected by HBW as part of the new home warranty program is accounted for under ASC 944 but is not remitted to the RRG and is therefore not subject to the reinsurance agreements discussed herein.

In accordance with the reinsurance contracts, the RRG is required to and did maintain minimum surplus such that its Total Adjusted Capital divided by the Authorized Control Level Risk Based Capital as defined and calculated within its statutory annual statement equals or exceeds 3.0.

Reinsurance contracts do not discharge the primary liability of the RRG as insurer of those risks reinsured. The failure of the reinsurer to honor its obligations could result in significant losses to the RRG. The RRG evaluates the financial condition of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of its present reinsurers, which currently have an A.M. Best rating of A- or better.

---

Additionally, the RRG evaluates current and prospective reinsurers as to concentrations of credit risk arising from similar activities or economic characteristics in order to minimize exposure to significant losses resulting from reinsurer insolvencies. There can be no assurance that reinsurance will continue to be available to the RRG to the same extent, and at the same cost, as it has in the past. The RRG may choose in the future to reevaluate the use of reinsurance to increase or decrease the amount of risk it cedes to reinsurers.

A summary of premiums written and ceded follows:

 

		Period Ended December 18, 2024
		Premiums Written				Premiums Earned

Note 9 - Debt

The Company is party to a credit agreement dated as of October 31, 2018 and amended on March 26, 2021 and June 29, 2022 (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $180.0 million term loan and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facilities"). The Credit Facilities matures on March 26, 2026. As of December 18, 2024, the Company had $156.1 million principal outstanding balance due on the term loan and no balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 million as of December 18, 2024.

The interest rate applicable to the term loan is the one‑month secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administration (SOFR) with a floor of 0.75% plus a margin of 6.00% and a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%. Interest payments are made monthly or quarterly upon the Company’s election, and principal payments are made quarterly. In the event there is excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement, for any year during the debt term, the Company will be required to make an additional payment no later than 160 days after the end of such year. The Company made a voluntary excess cash flow payment of $5.0 million in March 2024. Excess cash flow payments are applied to the debt in the order of maturity.

The Company is subject to customary covenants on the Credit Facilities. On the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company's net leverage ratio may not exceed 6.50:1. As of December 18, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

See Note 16 - Subsequent Events for information relating to the repayment of debt.

Prepaid expenses			(0.6	)
Property and equipment			(1.3	)
Deferred tax assets, net		$	30.1

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of its deferred tax asset related to its capital loss carryforward based on its assessment as of December 18, 2024. The Company has $0.8 million of capital loss carryforwards that begin expiring in 2026. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $0.2 million to account for the likelihood that this benefit will not be realized.

The Company has concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions relevant to the jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 18, 2024.

The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 11 - Profit Units

On October 31, 2018, the Company's parent, 2‑10 HBW Holdings, L.P., executed a Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and authorized 15,327,296 profit units to be made available for issuance to key employees and a director of the Company. On July 11, 2022, HBW Holdings, LP authorized an additional 1,851,824 profit units to be made available for issuance under the Plan. Each profit unit represents a right to receive payment upon a sales transaction or initial public offering of HBW Holdings, LP (a "Liquidation Event"). There is no exercise price and no monetary payment is required for receipt of the units. The units are designated as Class B Units in HBW Holdings, L.P. and the payout is in cash.

During the period ended December 18, 2024, there were no grants of units under the Plan. As of December 18, 2024, the total remaining units available for issuance under the Plan was 1,785,106.

Upon a Liquidation Event and after certain financial thresholds have been met, including the return of capital to all Class A unitholders in 2-10 HBW Holdings, L.P., all unvested time-based units not otherwise forfeited, shall become fully and immediately vested. A portion or all of the performance-based units shall become fully and immediately vested upon a Liquidation Event and are dependent on the sales price of the transaction. A qualifying Liquidation Event must occur in order for unitholders to be entitled to receive payment on vested units.

 

The Company recognizes compensation cost attributable to time-based units based on the grant date fair value of the unit over the requisite service period. For the performance-based units, the Company recognizes compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of the unit over the performance period, which begins when the performance condition, or Liquidation Event, is considered probable of being met. For the period ended December 18, 2024, the Company recognized $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. As of December 18, 2024, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation costs of $4.0 million.

 

Note 12 - Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees who have completed one month of service. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions of one‑half of the amount contributed by each employee up to a maximum of 3% of a participant's annual salary. The participants’ vested percentage in the Company’s matching contribution increases 50% annually following the completion of their first year of service. For the period ended December 18, 2024, the Company’s contributions to the plan were $1.2 million and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Note 14 - Statutory Financial Information

The RRG is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with the laws and regulations in the state jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company applies the statutory accounting practices prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as the basis for accounting in the RRG standalone statutory financial statements. These statutory financial statements are prepared on a calendar year basis. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the RRG reported a statutory net loss of $0.8 million and statutory capital and surplus of $5.1 million. No dividends were declared or paid by the RRG during 2024.

As part of its regulatory filings and pursuant to the Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements of the NAIC, the RRG is required to maintain a minimum capitalization level, as determined based on formulas and other factors incorporating various business risks of the insurance subsidiary. As of December 31, 2024, the RRG’s statutory surplus exceeded the RBC requirement.

 

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings and accrues for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred, and such costs can be reasonably estimated.

Due to the nature of its business activities, the Company is at times subject to pending and threatened legal and regulatory actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

 

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 26, 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

(“Frontdoor”), 2-10 HBW Acquisition, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”) and 2-10 Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (“2-10 HBW”), Frontdoor purchased from Seller all of the issued and outstanding common stock in 2-10 HBW for aggregate cash consideration of $585 million (the "2-10 HBW Acquisition"), subject to certain customary adjustments based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt, transaction expenses, working capital and regulatory capital in the business of 2-10 HBW as of the closing of the transaction.

In accordance with Rule 11-02(c)(1) of Regulation S-X, a pro forma statement of financial position of Frontdoor has not been prepared to give effect to the 2-10 HBW Acquisition as of December 31, 2024, as it is reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position included in Frontdoor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2025.

The attached unaudited proforma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the acquisition of 2-10 HBW. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations (the “Pro Forma Statement”) combines the historical statements of operations of Frontdoor and 2-10 HBW giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024. The historical information of Frontdoor and 2-10 HBW for the year ended December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited year-end statement of operations of Frontdoor for the year ended December 31, 2024, which includes the post-acquisition results of 2-10 HBW, plus the audited interim historical information for 2-10 HBW for the period ended December 18, 2024.

The historical consolidated financial information of Frontdoor and 2-10 HBW has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are necessary to account for the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or any other business changes or synergies that may result from the 2-10 HBW Acquisition. Certain reclassifications have also been made to conform the historical financial statement presentation of 2-10 HBW to that of Frontdoor.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

Pursuant to the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price for the 2-10 HBW Acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values at December 19, 2024. Since these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values attributable to the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, the actual amounts recorded in connection with the transaction, which will be based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition, may differ materially from the information presented. The areas of the valuations that are not yet finalized relate to the amounts for property and equipment, long term intangible assets and the final amount of residual goodwill. Frontdoor may obtain additional information to assist in determining fair values of net assets acquired at December 19, 2024 during the measurement period.

The unaudited proforma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only. It has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisition at the date indicated, nor does it purport to project the future operating results of the combined company. It also does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that we may achieve with respect to the combined company nor the costs necessary to achieve those costs savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements, or to integrate the operations of Frontdoor and 2-10 HBW.

Notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information

Note 1. Description of the 2-10 HBW Acquisition and Basis of Presentation

On December 19, 2024, Frontdoor completed the 2-10 HBW Acquisition pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for aggregate cash consideration of $585 million, subject to certain customary adjustments based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt, transaction expenses, working capital and regulatory capital in the business of 2-10 HBW as of the closing of the transaction. 2-10 HBW is a leading provider of new home structural warranties, which are insurance-backed offerings that provide builders’ coverage for structural failures. 2-10 HBW is also a provider of home warranties.

Frontdoor paid $425 million, net of $182 million of 2-10 HBW closing indebtedness, 2-10 HBW transaction costs and escrow, for a total purchase price consideration of $607 million, using cash on hand and borrowings under Frontdoor’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facilities. The 2-10 HBW Acquisition closed on December 19, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”).

The historical information of Frontdoor and 2-10 HBW for the year ended December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited year-end statement of operations of Frontdoor, which includes the post-acquisition results of 2-10 HBW, plus the audited interim historical information for 2-10 HBW for the period ended December 18, 2024.

Note 2. Accounting Policies and Reclassification of 2-10 HBW’s Historical Financial Information

The accounting policies of Frontdoor may vary materially from those of 2-10 HBW. During preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Frontdoor management has performed a preliminary analysis to identify where material differences in accounting policies may occur. Frontdoor management will conduct a final review of 2-10 HBW’s accounting policies in order to determine if further differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of 2-10 HBW’s results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to Frontdoor’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of this review, Frontdoor management may identify differences that, when adjusted or reclassified, could have a significant impact on this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3. Preliminary Allocation of Consideration

Frontdoor accounted for the 2-10 HBW Acquisition as a business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the Acquisition Date and are consolidated into Frontdoor’s financial statements. The determination of fair value requires significant judgments regarding the estimates and assumptions used to value the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. In determining the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, Frontdoor utilized the cost, income and market approaches from the perspective of a market participant. Frontdoor used third-party valuation professionals to aid in the determination of the estimated fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
