The Company reviews all securities with unrealized losses on a quarterly basis to assess whether the decline in the securities fair value necessitates the recognition of an allowance for credit losses. The Company considers numerous factors in its review as described in Footnote 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses for two investment securities. Based on the Company’s review as of September 30, 2023, for the remainder of securities, the Company determined that the fixed maturity securities’ unrealized losses were primarily the result of the interest rate environment and not the credit quality of the issuers. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Contractual maturities of available‑for‑sale fixed maturity securities The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Proceeds from the sale of fixed maturity securities were insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of fixed maturity securities were $9.8 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company places securities on statutory deposit with certain state agencies to retain the right to do business in those states. These securities are included in available‑for‑sale investments on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of securities on deposit with state regulatory authorities was $8.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
