All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Citizens and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company," "it," "we," "us" or "our".
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have been prepared by the Company without audit and are not subject to audit. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows at March 31, 2025 and for comparative periods have been made. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("Form 10-K"). Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Our Life Insurance segment operates through our subsidiaries CICA Domestic and CICA International.
CICA Domestic. CICA Domestic issues primarily ordinary whole life, final expense and life products with living benefits throughout the U.S.
CICA International. CICA International offers U.S. dollar-denominated products to non-U.S. residents/citizens internationally, including endowment products, which are principally accumulation contracts that incorporate an element of life insurance protection and whole life insurance. These contracts are designed to provide a fixed amount of insurance coverage over the life of the insured and may utilize rider benefits to provide additional increasing or decreasing coverage and annuity benefits to enhance accumulations.
Our Home Service Insurance segment operates through our subsidiaries SPLIC and MGLIC and focuses on the life insurance needs of the middle- and lower-income markets in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Our products in this segment consist primarily of small face amount whole life, industrial life and pre-need policies, which are designed to fund final expenses for the insured, primarily consisting of funeral and burial costs. SPLIC also issues critical illness policies.
CTI provides data processing systems and services to the Company. NES provides services to policyholders of CICA International.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
March 31, 2025 | 10-Q 8

CITIZENS, INC. | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|  | (Unaudited)

assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Significant estimates include those used in the evaluation of credit losses on fixed maturity securities, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, actuarially determined assets and liabilities, and assumptions and contingencies related to litigation and regulatory matters. Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a description of all significant accounting policies, see Part IV, Item 15, Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, which should be read in conjunction with these accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(2) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which is intended to enhance expense disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses, on an interim and annual basis, within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. While this ASU will impact only our disclosures and not our financial condition and results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In each category of our fixed maturity securities described above, we do not intend to sell our investments, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 99.2% of the fair value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio, respectively, were rated investment grade. While the losses are currently unrealized, we continue to monitor all fixed maturity securities on an on-going basis as future information may become available which could result in an allowance being recorded.
These unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase, which have little bearing on the recoverability of our investments, hence they are not recognized as credit losses. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity or if market yields for such investments decline.
The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2025 by contractual maturity are shown in the table below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date have been reflected based upon final stated maturity.

Real estate held-for-sale consists of former Home Service Insurance segment district offices in Baton Rouge and Bogalusa, Louisiana. It was determined during the quarter that these properties met the held-for-sale criteria. As a result, these properties were reclassified from property, plant and equipment, net to real estate held-for-sale and is included in other long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. These investments are listed at carrying value and are no longer being depreciated.
(4) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is 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. We hold AFS fixed maturity securities, which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported through other comprehensive income (loss). We also report our equity securities and certain other long-term investments at fair value with changes in fair value reported through the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Fair value measurements are generally based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories.
•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or whose significant value drivers are observable.
•Level 3 - Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as U.S. Treasury securities and actively traded mutual fund and stock investments.
Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued by independent pricing services or broker quotes. These pricing models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs, such as interest rates, credit spreads and foreign exchange rates for the underlying financial instruments. All significant inputs are observable or derived from observable information in the marketplace or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Financial instruments in this category primarily include corporate securities, U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise securities, securities issued by states and political subdivisions and certain mortgage and asset-backed securities.
Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker prices utilizing significant inputs not based on or corroborated by readily available market information. Real estate held-

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS VALUATION
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale. At March 31, 2025, fixed maturity securities, valued using a third-party pricing source, totaled $1.2 billion for Level 2 assets and comprised 92.2% of total reported fair value of our financial assets. The Level 1 and Level 2 valuations are reviewed and updated quarterly through testing by comparisons to separate pricing models, other third-party pricing services, and back tested to recent trades. In addition, we obtain information annually relative to the third-party pricing models and review model parameters for reasonableness. There were no Level 3 assets at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values, and no broker or third-party prices were changed from the values received.
Equity securities. Our equity securities are classified as Level 1 assets as their fair values are based upon quoted market prices.
Limited partnerships. The Company considers the net asset value ("NAV") to represent the value of the investment fund and is measured by the total value of assets minus the total value of liabilities. The following table includes information related to our investments in limited partnerships that calculate NAV per share. For these investments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we use the NAV per share to measure fair value. The Company recognized net investment related losses of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and

The majority of our limited partnership investments are not redeemable because distributions from the funds will be received when the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. The life spans indicated above may be shortened or extended at the fund manager's discretion, typically in one or two-year increments. The global equity fund is redeemable monthly.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
Estimates of fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market prices and information about the financial instruments. The estimated fair values of financial instruments presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company might realize in actual market transactions.
The carrying amount and fair value for the financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated financial statements not otherwise disclosed for the periods indicated were as follows:

| March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
(In thousands) | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value
Financial assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Annuity - investment contracts | 69,492 |  |  | 64,285 |  |  | 68,888 |  |  | 63,629 |

Policy loans. Policy loans had a weighted average annual interest rate of 7.7% at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and no specified maturity dates. The aggregate fair value of policy loans approximates the

carrying value reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. Policy loans are an integral part of the life insurance policies we have in force, cannot be valued separately and are not marketable. Therefore, the fair value of policy loans approximates the carrying value and policy loans are considered Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Residential mortgage loan. This mortgage loan is secured by a residential property. The interest rate for this loan was 7.0% at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the remaining loan matures in three years. Management estimated the fair value using an annual interest rate of 6.25% at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our mortgage loan is considered a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy and is included in other long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value and these assets are characterized as Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Annuity liabilities. The fair value of the Company's liabilities under annuity contracts, which are considered Level 3 liabilities, was estimated at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 using discounted cash flows based upon spot rates adjusted for various risk adjustments ranging from 3.80% to 4.92% and 3.96% to 4.96%, respectively. The fair value of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the overall management of interest rate risk, which seeks to minimize exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.
Other long-term investments. Financial instruments included in other long-term investments are classified in various levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of these investments.

Carrying Value (In thousands) | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024

(7) REINSURANCE
In the normal course of business, the Company reinsures portions of certain policies that we underwrite to mitigate exposure to potential losses and/or to provide additional capacity for growth. In our international business, we generally retain $100,000 on any one individual life insurance policy and reinsure the death benefit amount above $100,000. We also reinsure 100% of our accidental death benefit rider coverage. In the second quarter of 2024, CICA Domestic entered into a coinsurance agreement with RGA Reinsurance Company ("RGA"). Under this agreement, CICA Domestic initially elected for RGA to reinsure 50% of its newly written final expense business. The Company remains contingently liable in the event that any of the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations under any reinsurance agreement.
Our amounts recoverable from reinsurers represent receivables from and reserves ceded to reinsurers. We obtain reinsurance from multiple reinsurers and monitor our reinsurance concentration as well as the financial strength ratings of our reinsurers. Their ratings by A.M. Best Company range from A- (Excellent) to A+ (Superior).
A summary of insurance in force, along with assumed and ceded life reinsurance activity, is summarized below as of the periods indicated.

From time to time, we are subject to legal and regulatory actions relating to our business.

the greatest of (a) Regions' prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (c) the index rate plus 1.00% or (d) 0.75%. The Company is required to pay Regions an annual commitment fee of 0.375% of the unused portion of the Credit Facility in quarterly installments, which the Company expenses as it is incurred.
Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company other than the equity interests in its subsidiaries, real estate owned by the Company, and other limited exceptions. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions and restricted payments. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not borrowed any funds against the Credit Facility and was not in violation of any covenants.
(9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RESTRICTIONS
STOCK
Our Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 127,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares shall be Class A common stock, 2,000,000 shares shall be Class B common stock, and 25,000,000 shall be preferred stock.

Citizens currently has no outstanding preferred stock or Class B common stock other than that held in treasury.
A summary of the change in the number of shares of Class A common stock and treasury stock issued is as follows:

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Net income (loss) allocated to Class A common stock | $ | (1,623) |  |  | 4,542 |

STATUTORY CAPITAL AND SURPLUS
Each of our domestic regulated insurance subsidiaries is required to meet stipulated regulatory capital requirements imposed by the U.S. National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). All domestic insurance subsidiaries exceeded the minimum capital requirements at March 31, 2025. On March 27, 2024, Citizens and the Colorado Division of Insurance entered into a capital maintenance agreement that specifies that Citizens will infuse capital as needed to ensure that CICA Domestic's RBC remains above 350%. As CICA Domestic's RBC exceeded 350% at March 31, 2025, no capital contribution was necessary.
CICA International is a Puerto Rico domiciled company. The Insurance Code of Puerto Rico does not specifically set forth minimum capital and surplus standards, but rather requires that an insurer submit a business plan for approval to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance ("OIC") that includes proposed minimum capital and surplus. CICA International is required to maintain a minimum of $750,000 in capital and maintain a premium to surplus ratio of 7 to 1. At March 31, 2025, CICA International's capital exceeds both of the required minimum capital and related ratio.
(10) SEGMENT AND OTHER OPERATING INFORMATION
The Company's segments are defined by management's reporting structure and operating activities. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews and analyzes income statement information by segment to make decisions, assess financial performance and allocate resources across the Company in order to meet the overall strategic objectives of the Company. The Company has two reportable segments: Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance.
Our Life Insurance segment issues endowment contracts, which are principally accumulation contracts that incorporate an element of life insurance protection, and whole life insurance to non-U.S. residents through CICA International. These contracts are designed to provide a fixed amount of insurance coverage over the life of the insured and may utilize rider benefits to provide additional coverage and annuity benefits to enhance accumulations. CICA Domestic issues whole life, final expense and life products with living benefits throughout the U.S.
Our Home Service Insurance segment operates through our subsidiaries SPLIC and MGLIC and focuses on the life insurance needs of the lower-income markets, primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. SPLIC also issues critical illness policies. Our policies are sold and serviced through funeral homes and independent agents who sell policies, collect premiums and service policyholders.
The Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance portions of the Company constitute separate businesses. In addition to the Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance business, the Company also operates other non-insurance portions of the Company ("Other Non-Insurance Enterprises"), which primarily include the Company’s IT and corporate-support functions.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Other Non-Insurance Enterprises are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Form 10-K. The CODM evaluates profit and loss performance based on U.S. GAAP net income (loss) before federal income taxes for its two reportable segments. The Company's Other Non-Insurance Enterprises represents the only reportable difference between segments and consolidated operations.

(11) INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate is the ratio of tax expense or tax benefit over pre-tax income. The tax benefit effective rate was 9.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to effective tax rate of 7.8% for the same period in 2024. CICA International is considered a controlled foreign corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the insurance activity of CICA International is subject to Subpart F of the Internal Revenue Code and is included in Citizens’ taxable income. The Government of Puerto Rico approved a tax exemption decree for CICA International which freezes the income tax rate at 0% on taxable earnings up to $1.2 million and 4% on taxable earnings in excess of $1.2 million for a minimum of 15 years. The effective tax rate varies from the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 21% mainly due to the impact of Subpart F and the reduced Puerto Rico income tax rate.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, we determined it was more likely than not that a portion of our capital deferred tax assets would not be realized in their entirety. The Company recorded valuation allowances of $4.7 million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, through Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
(12) OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
The changes in the components of other comprehensive income (loss) are reported net of the effects of income taxes of 21% for domestic entities and 4% for Puerto Rican entities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as indicated below.

OBJECTIVE OF OUR MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as our “MD&A”. The objective of our MD&A is to provide investors with information in order to assess the material changes in our financial condition from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 and the material changes in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. We also discuss in the MD&A any trends that we believe may materially affect our future operations or financial condition.
OVERVIEW
For over 55 years, Citizens has been fulfilling the needs of our policyholders and their families by providing insurance products that offer both living and death benefits. We conduct insurance related operations through our insurance subsidiaries, which provide benefits to policyholders and their beneficiaries globally. We specialize in offering primarily individual whole life insurance, endowment products and final expense insurance in niche markets where we believe we can optimize our competitive position.
As an insurance provider, we collect premiums on an ongoing basis from our policyholders and invest the majority of the premiums to pay future benefits, including claims, surrenders and policyholder dividends. Accordingly, the Company derives its revenues principally from: (1) life insurance premiums earned for insurance coverages provided to insureds in our two operating segments – Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance; and (2) net investment income. In addition to paying and reserving for insurance benefits that we pay to our policyholders, our expenses consist primarily of the costs of selling our insurance products (e.g., commissions, underwriting, marketing expenses), operating expenses and income taxes.

EVENTS THAT IMPACTED OUR BUSINESS
From time-to-time, certain events may affect our business in ways that cause current or future results to differ from past results. In addition to (1) the factors described in Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K"), as updated by Part II. Item 1A. herein; and (2) the events described in Part 1. Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Events that Impacted Our Business" in the 2024 Form 10-K; the following events impacted our results of operations or financial condition.
Investment Related Losses due to BlackRock write-down
Investment related gains and losses derive principally from our investments in equity securities and include unrealized gains and losses from market price changes in these equities during the period. As evidenced, investment related gains and losses can cause significant fluctuations from period to period and while they are included in our operating revenue, we do not believe they are indicative of our operating results.
As discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, in December 2024, BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock") announced a substantial write-down of its Global Renewable Power Fund III, a $4.8 billion flagship renewable fund, due to the collapse of two key investments: Northvolt and SolarZero. In 2025, BlackRock continued to review the valuation of this fund and reduced the net asset value further. We had invested in this fund as part of our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives and although we did not sell this investment, we reported an investment related loss on this investment of $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and an additional $3.1 m illion in the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This sector has experienced market headwinds primarily driven by rising interest rates, supply chain disruption and less certain policy environment.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Summary
Net income (loss) before federal income tax decreased to a loss of $1.8 million in 2025 from income of $4.9 million in 2024. The factors that impacted this change were:
•$3.9 million decrease in investment related gains and losses primarily related to the BlackRock write-down;
•$1.4 million increase in other general expenses; and
•total premium revenues increased by $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, but were offset by a $2.5 million increase in total insurance benefits paid or provided.
Financial Condition at March 31, 2025
•Total assets of $1.7 billion
•Total direct insurance in force of $5.28 billion
•Total investments of $1.4 billion; fixed maturity securities comprised 88% of total investments
•No debt
•Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock of $0.03
•Book value per share of Class A common stock of $4.37
•Adjusted book value per share of Class A common stock of $6.12 1
1 Adjusted book value per of Class A common share is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing actual Class A common stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, by the number of Class A common shares outstanding at the end of the period.

The Factors that Drive our Operating Results
We see the following as the primary factors that drive our operating results.
•Sales of our products
•Investments
•Claims and surrenders
•Operating expenses
•Actuarial assumptions
Sales of Our Products. We believe sales statistics are meaningful to gain an understanding of, among other things, the attractiveness of our products, how expansion of our distribution channels affects our revenue, customer retention and the performance of our business from period-to-period. Throughout the MD&A, we describe the actions and initiatives we are taking to increase sales and improve retention, sales performance in each period and as compared to prior year period, and how we view trends with respect to sales and retention.
One sales factor that is key to our profitability is product mix. We offer a competitive product mix designed to meet the needs of our specific customer segments and actively manage new product margins and in-force profitability. Product mix can have an impact on profitability - selling a higher volume of lower-margin products, we may receive more premiums but may not be as profitable as in periods when we sell a greater percentage of higher-margin products. Our product mix has been trending towards sales of our newer whole life products, both internationally and domestically, which have a smaller margin than sales of endowment products. We expect this trend to continue due to the anticipated volumes of endowment maturities being replaced by higher volumes of whole life products.
Premium Revenues. Premium revenues consist of all money deposited by customers into new and existing insurance policies. We view these premiums in two categories - first year premiums are premiums received within the first 12 months of a policy's issuance and thereafter any premiums received are renewal premiums.
Throughout the MD&A, we refer to "direct" premiums as all premiums received and "net" or "total" premiums as all premiums received less premiums ceded to RGA Reinsurance Company ("RGA") and our other reinsurers. Direct premium revenue increased 8% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $42.4 million from $39.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
First Year Premiums. Direct first year premiums increased 49%, to $8.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, including 66% growth in our Life Insurance segment, driven by sales of our newer products and an increased number of producing agents. First year premium growth was primarily in our new domestic final expense business, but first year premiums in our international business also increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 as we continue to work with our distribution partners to expand sales.
March 31, 2025 | 10-Q 36

Table of Contents

CITIZENS, INC. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Renewal Premiums. Our direct renewal premium revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025 slightly increased primarily due to strong sales in 2024 leading to higher number of policies paying renewal premiums in the current period.
Investment Income. Our net investment income decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period, due primarily to lower investment income from our limited partnership investments.
Claims and Surrenders. Payment of policyholder benefits for claims and surrenders is our largest expense and thus key to our profitability. The three largest components of this expense are reflected in the graphs below. In the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period,
•death claim benefits decreased in our Life Insurance segment due to a combination of lower volume of claims and our coinsurance agreement with RGA alleviating some of our liability to pay these claims than in the prior year quarter,
•surrenders increased slightly, and
•matured endowments increased as expected due to many of our endowment policies reaching their contractual maturity dates.
March 31, 2025 | 10-Q 37

CITIZENS, INC. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are our second largest expense and thus also drive our operating results. Operating expenses are meaningful to gain an understanding of how we manage our business, including among other things, salaries, benefits and spending on growth initiatives. The primary reasons for the increase in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year quarter were our continued investment in the growth of our business and higher costs associated with our equity compensation program as a result of increased stock price and additional participants.
Actuarial Assumptions. The actuarial assumptions that underlie our reserves are based upon our best estimates of certain factors such as mortality, lapses, morbidity and discount rates. Our results will be affected to the extent there is a variance between our actuarial assumptions and actual experience.
We expect to see a rebalancing in our mix of business arising due to the anticipated volume of maturities in our international endowment business, as well as continued domestic growth in the Life Insurance segment, which has been discussed previously. Our current profitability is affected by how closely actual experience matches our actuarial assumptions for these shifts, and by the amount of reserves we must hold.
Actuarial assumptions are continually monitored and updated at least annually to reflect overall experience as well as emerging trends.
OUR OPERATING SEGMENTS
We manage our business in two operating segments: Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance.
Our insurance operations are the primary focus of the Company, as these operations generate most of our income. See the discussion under Segment Operations below for a detailed analysis. The amount of direct

In the first three months of 2025, we issued $255 million in new insurance as we continued to grow our business with our newer products tailored to our specific markets and expansion of our distribution channels both domestically and internationally.
In our Life Insurance segment, we continued to experience strong sales and increased number of policies issued of our new domestic final expense products; however, implementation of new initiatives, including use of information to enhance underwriting decisions with additional medical and lab data from third parties, resulted in higher sales of products with lower policy f ace amounts i n the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year period. Internationally, the Life Insurance segment benefited from increased sales of our whole life product, which accounted for 63% of total insurance issued internationally in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This product tends to have higher policy face amounts than our older endowment products.
Insurance issued in our Home Service Insurance segment decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period largely due to strategic actions intended to improve sales quality and persistency, which led to a decrease in our agent sales force as we focus on these improvements. These improvements did result in higher insurance issued from the fourth quarter of 2024. We also believe the impact of inflation on the cost of living, and more recently the impact of tariffs on prices, has affected new sales since the customer demographic is primarily lower-income individuals.
The amount of direct insurance inforce for the periods indicated is shown below.
Overall insurance inforce growth has been and will be impacted by persistency rates, policy maturities and surrenders.

Total revenues decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period. Despite the increase in both first year and renewal premiums, revenues decreased due to the Blackrock material adjustment in valuation, which led to a $3.9 million decrease in investment related gains (losses) which was mostly non-cash.

Our first year direct premiums increased 49% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to sales of our newer products in our Life Insurance segment and expanded domestic distribution. Renewal premiums increased from strong first year sales in 2024 in our Life Insurance segment leading to higher number of policies paying renewal premiums in the first quarter of 2025, which more than offset the impacts from a higher level of surrenders during the last few years and increasing matured endowment benefits paid in the international portion of our Life Insurance segment.
Reinsurance premiums ceded increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to a coinsurance agreement we entered into with RGA in the second quarter of 2024.

Net Investment Income. A summary of our net investment income and annualized net investment income performance is as follows:

Annualized yield on average invested assets |  |  |  |  | 4.52 | % |  | 4.59 | %

Fixed maturity securities constitute the vast majority, or 88% of our investment portfolio based on fair value and thus provide the majority of our net investment income. Our net fixed maturity investment portfolio, primarily invested in callable securities, has faced challenges as many securities were called between 2019 and 2021, necessitating reinvestment in low interest rate fixed maturity assets, which impact net investment income and yields.
Investment Related Gains (Losses), Net. We recorded investment related losses of $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to investment related gains of $1.0 million during the same prior year period. The gains and losses are primarily related to the non-cash write-down of our Blackrock ESG investment. We did not sell this investment; however, the changes in fair values of our equity securities are reflected as investment related gains or losses in our income statement, in addition to executed transactions that result in a gain or loss.
Other Income. Other income consists primarily of supplemental contracts issued to international policyholders in our Life Insurance segment upon the surrender or maturity of their original policies. Supplemental contracts offer our policyholders the opportunity to leave their cash with us and be paid interest at a guaranteed rate or receive an annuity, at their option.

Death claim benefits decreased 12% in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a combination of lower volume and our coinsurance agreement with RGA alleviating some of our liability to pay these claims. We did not have this agreement during the first quarter of 2024.
Many of our endowment policies are reaching their contractual maturity dates and thus matured endowment benefits increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year quarter. We anticipated this $6.6 million increase in the first quarter of 2025 based upon the contractual maturity dates and expect continued year-over-year increases in matured endowment benefits throughout 2025, then to remain at elevated, but slightly lower levels over the next few years, as more of these contracts expire.

increase when we have a larger in force block of business due to higher sales and better persistency (i.e., more policies on which we expect to pay future benefits) and decrease when we have lower sales and persistency. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the change in future policy benefit reserves decreased as compared to the prior year period due to the amount of reserves released in connection with the high level of matured endowments.
Policyholder Liability Remeasurement (Gain) Loss. Most of our products are long-duration contracts that provide a specified, fixed amount of insurance benefit in exchange for a fixed premium. When a policy is initially issued, we establish a "net premium ratio" ("NPR") using assumptions regarding expected premiums and policyholder benefit liabilities. On a quarterly basis, we review actual versus expected experience in such quarter, which is reported as a policyholder liability remeasurement gain (if better performance than assumptions) or loss (if lower performance than assumptions).
Commissions. Commission expenses are a cost of acquiring business, as commissions are the primary compensation paid to our independent consultants and independent agents for selling our products. First year commission rates are higher than renewal commission rates and thus commissions fluctuate directly in relation to first year sales. The increase in first year sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025 led to an increase in commission related expenses as compared to the prior year period.
Other General Expenses. Total general expenses increased $1.4 million, or 12%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase was primarily driven by costs related to our strategic growth initiatives and costs incurred associated with our equity compensation program due to higher stock price and additional participants. We continue to work on managing controllable operating expenses while investing in growth initiatives.
Capitalization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs ("DAC"). We capitalize costs related to successful sales of our insurance products, which include certain commissions, policy issuance costs, and underwriting and agency expenses. These costs vary based upon amounts of premiums received related to new and renewal business. Capitalized DAC increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is in line with the increases in new sales activity. Significantly lower amounts are capitalized related to renewal business in correlation with the lower commissions paid on that business compared to first year business, which has higher commission rates.
Amortization of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs. Amortization of DAC increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. DAC is amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts to approximate straight-line amortization.
SEGMENT OPERATIONS
We operate in two business segments: Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance.
These segments are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company evaluates profit and loss performance based on U.S. GAAP net income (loss) before federal income taxes for these segments. The Company's Other Non-Insurance Enterprises include non-insurance operations such as IT and corporate-support functions, which are included in the table presented below to properly reconcile the segment information with the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Premiums. Direct premiums increased by $3.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 driven by sales of our newer products and an increased number of producing agents. First year premium growth was primarily in our new domestic final expense business, but first year premiums in our international business also increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 as we continue to work with our distribution partners to expand sales. Due to the coinsurance agreement with RGA entered into in the second quarter of 2024, ceded reinsurance premiums increased.
While our domestic life insurance business drove the significant increase in first year premiums, life insurance premiums are generated largely from our international policyholders living in almost 80 different countries across the globe. The following table sets forth our premiums by location for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Investment Related Gains (Losses), Net. We recorded investment related losses of $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to investment related gains of $1.1 million during the same prior year period, resulting primarily from the change in estimated fair market value of the ESG Blackrock investment.

Total claims and surrenders |  |  |  |  | $ | 34,142 |  |  | 27,364 |

The majority of our claims and surrender benefits in our Life Insurance segment were related to payment of surrender benefits and matured endowment benefits. Many of our endowment policies are reaching their contractual maturity dates and thus matured endowment benefits are increasing in 2025 as compared to 2024. We expect elevated trends to continue over the next few years but at a reduced level when compared to 2025. Death claim benefits decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period due to a combination of lower volume and our coinsurance agreement with RGA alleviating some of our liability to pay these claims. Mortality experience is closely monitored by the Company as a key performance indicator and these amounts were within expected levels.
Increase (Decrease) in Future Policy Benefit Reserves. The change in future policy benefit reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was the result of reserves released due to surrenders and higher matured endowment benefits. These releases were partially offset by increases in reserves due to new insurance issued and the reserves that increase on our in force block of business nearing maturity.
Other General Expenses. General expenses increased due primarily to expenses related to costs associated with continued investment in the growth of CICA domestic.

In our Home Service Insurance segment, income before federal income tax was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $0.6 million in the prior year period. The decline is attributed to higher investment related losses and other general expenses.

Our life and A&H premiums declined slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period. The decrease is largely due to strategic actions intended to improve sales quality and persistency, which actions led to a decrease in our agent sales force as we focus on these improvements. Additionally, we believe external economic pressures, such as inflation, have impacted revenue in this segment disproportionately.
Claims and Surrenders. Payments of claims and surrender benefits, which are the largest portion of our expenses, are summarized as follows:

Total claims and surrenders |  |  |  |  | $ | 5,956 |  |  | 5,749 |

The majority of claims and surrender benefits in our Home Service Insurance segment are death claim benefits. Death claim benefits decreased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period due to lower volume of reported claims. Mortality experience is closely monitored by the Company as a key performance indicator and fluctuates from quarter-to-quarter based on reported claims.
Surrender benefits increased in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We believe the impact of inflation is negatively impacting persistency.

Loss before federal income tax |  |  |  |  | $ | (2,150) |  |  | (1,498) |

This operating unit represents the administrative support functions for the insurance operations. Its revenues are primarily intercompany and have been eliminated in consolidation under U.S. GAAP, which typically results in a loss. Revenue in this operating unit consists primarily of net investment income and investment related gains or losses, while expenses consist of other general expenses related to corporate functions. The primary reason for the increased loss before federal income tax in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is higher other general expenses, including costs incurred related to our equity incentive compensation program due to additional participants as well as an increased stock price, which increases our expense taken upon vesting of prior year grants.
INVESTMENTS
Our investments are an integral part of our business success, as we invest the majority of premiums collected to pay for future benefits and rely on net investment income of our ongoing operations. Our cash and invested assets at March 31, 2025 were $1.4 billion, of which 87% was invested in fixed maturity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale. We closely monitor the duration of our fixed maturity investments, and investment purchases and sales are executed with the objective of having adequate funds available to satisfy our insurance obligations.

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities investment portfolio at March 31, 2025 was $1.25 billion compared to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects the impact of interest rate sensitivity on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities. The distribution of the credit ratings of our portfolio of fixed maturity securities by carrying value as of March 31, 2025 did not materially change from December 31, 2024 – the weighted average was “A” at both dates.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased as of March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 and fluctuates from period-to-period primarily due to the timing of operating and investing activities.
Other long-term investments decreased by $0.3 million as of March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 due to additional funding and changes in the fair market value of our limited partnership investments.
Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions
The Company’s fixed maturity securities investment portfolio at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $270.4 million and $268.3 million, respectively, of securities that are obligations of states and political subdivisions, including municipalities (collectively referred to as the municipal fixed maturity security portfolio).
The Company's municipal fixed maturity security portfolio includes third-party guarantees. Detailed below is a presentation by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO") rating of these holdings by funding type as of March 31, 2025.

IMPAIRMENT CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO INVESTMENTS IN FIXED MATURITY AND EQUITY SECURITIES
The Company assesses available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for expected credit losses. The Company did not record any credit valuation allowances on fixed maturity securities in either of the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Gross unrealized losses on AFS fixed maturity securities amounted to $169.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and $185.7 million as of December 31, 2024. This decrease in gross unrealized losses during 2025 was a result of the increase in average market interest rates at the end of 2025 as compared to 2024.
Information on both unrealized and realized gains and losses by category is set forth in Part I, Item 1, Note 3. Investments of the notes to our consolidated financial statements herein.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Below are our primary capital resources (based on carrying value of each) as of the periods indicated.

Liquidity refers to a company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the needs of its operations. We manage our insurance operations in order to ensure that we have stable and reliable sources of cash flows to meet our obligations. We currently anticipate meeting our short-term and long-term cash needs with cash generated by our insurance operations and from our invested assets. From time to time, we may raise capital by selling shares in our SIP (as defined below) and we may also access our Credit Facility if needed (also as described below). Citizens had no debt as of March 31, 2025.
Cash from Operating Activities. Cash provided by or used in operating activities is an important liquidity metric because it reflects, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to pay our operating

expenses, invest in our business or make strategic acquisitions. Cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cash used in Investing Activities. We have traditionally also had significant cash flows from both scheduled and unscheduled investment security maturities, redemptions, and prepayments. These cash flows, for the most part, are reinvested in new investments. Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $11.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The investing activities fluctuate from period to period due to timing of securities activities such as calls and maturities and reinvestment of those funds. We purchased $17.5 million of fixed maturity securities and used $2.8 million to purchase other long-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 2025. 87% of our investments consist of marketable fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs.
PARENT COMPANY LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Citizens is a holding company and has minimal operations of its own. Our assets consist of the capital stock of our subsidiaries, cash and investments. Our liquidity requirements are met primarily from two sources: cash generated from our operating subsidiaries and our invested assets. Our ability to obtain cash from our insurance subsidiaries depends primarily upon the availability of statutorily permissible payments, including payments we receive from service agreements with our insurance subsidiaries and dividends from the subsidiaries. The ability to make payments to the holding company is limited by applicable laws of the U.S. states of domicile and by the Puerto Rico Office of Commissioner of Insurance, which all subject insurance operations to significant regulatory restrictions. These laws and regulations require, among other things, that our insurance subsidiaries maintain minimum solvency or premium to surplus ratio requirements, which limit the amount of dividends that can be paid to the holding company. The regulations also require approval of our service agreements with the applicable regulatory authority in order to prevent insurance subsidiaries from moving large amounts of cash to the less regulated holding company.
In addition to the above-mentioned sources of cash, we offer a Stock Investment Plan ("SIP"), which allows investors, policyholders, independent contractors and agents, employees and directors to directly purchase our stock. At our option, purchases of stock under the SIP can be made from newly issued or treasury stock, rather than in the open market, in which case, we can raise capital by selling our shares.
We renewed our Credit Facility with Regions Bank on May 3, 2024 for an additional three years. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, herein, for a description of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides additional liquidity to the Company for short-term or longer-term needs. We have not borrowed any money under the Credit Facility.
INSURANCE COMPANY SUBSIDIARY LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The liquidity requirements of our insurance operations are primarily met by premium revenues, investment income and proceeds from investment maturities, calls or sales. Primary cash needs are for payments of policyholder benefits, investment purchases, and operating expenses. We manage our insurance operations in order to ensure that we have stable and reliable sources of cash flow to meet our obligations. As we have discussed, we have been growing our domestic business by developing new products and expanding our distribution channels, which has led to an increase in first year direct premiums (i.e., new sales) of 71% from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024, and another 49% from the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the three months ended March 31, 2025. When selling new policies, we incur upfront policy acquisition costs, such as agent commission payments. While historically, cash flows from our operations have been sufficient to meet our cash needs, in the second quarter of 2024 we entered into a coinsurance reinsurance agreement with RGA to help with some of the costs, and the insurance subsidiaries also have the available-for-sale fixed maturity investment portfolio available to create additional cash flows if needed. Two of our insurance subsidiaries are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Dallas. FHLB membership provides the insurance subsidiaries with access to various

CITIZENS, INC. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

low-cost collateralized borrowings and funding agreements. While not the only source of additional liquidity, the FHLB could provide the insurance subsidiaries with an additional source of liquidity, if needed.
We believe that we have adequate capital resources and ability to obtain additional capital if needed to support the short-term and longer-term liquidity requirements of our insurance operations. See Contractual Obligations and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements in our 2024 Form 10-K and below for a discussion of known and estimated cash needs. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest rate scenarios are performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy.
Trends, Demands and Restrictions on our Uses of Cash
Payment of benefits for claims and surrenders are our largest use of cash. There are three primary components of these payments: death claims, surrenders and matured endowments.
Matured Endowments. Our endowment products have contractual maturity dates and provide the policyholder with alternatives once the policy matures - they can choose to take a lump sum payout or leave the money on deposit at interest with the Company. Approximately 18% of the endowments in force will mature in the next five years, totaling approximately 6% of our in force business as of March 31, 2025. The highest level of maturities will occur this year. Policyholder election behavior is unknown, but if too many policyholders elect lump sum distributions, the Company could be exposed to liquidity risk in years of high maturities. Meeting these distributions could require the Company to sell its investments at inopportune times to pay policyholder withdrawals. Alternatively, if the policyholders were to leave the money on deposit with the Company at interest, our profitability could be impacted if the product guaranteed rate is higher than the market rate we are earning on our investments. We currently anticipate that our available operating cash flow and capital resources will be adequate to meet our needs for funds, but we are closely monitoring our policyholder behavior patterns, and in 2024, introduced a new product designed to allow policyholders with maturing endowments to purchase a new life insurance policy.
Surrenders. Surrender benefits, which have been higher than usual the last several years, slightly increased in the first three months of 2025. In order to mitigate the risk of early policyholder surrenders, we include provisions in our insurance policies, such as surrender charges, that help limit and discourage early withdrawals, but as many of our policies have reached the age where surrender charges have expired or significantly decreased, we have experienced high levels of surrenders. We believe that surrenders have been high due to other reasons, including the loss of one of our biggest distributors in Venezuela in 2018, increasing interest rates, which may encourage policyholders to seek higher rates of return in different investment products, post-pandemic beliefs that life insurance may not be as important as it was during the pandemic, and inflationary and tariff pressures, which may cause policyholders to want the cash values of their policies due to decreased purchasing power elsewhere. To the extent that early surrenders are higher than expected, our use of cash could be higher than expected. We continue to monitor surrenders and early withdrawals and focus on our retention initiatives and efforts to retain cash when policyholders surrender their policies.
Our cash flow from operations is also negatively impacted with high matured endowments and surrenders, as they lead to lower renewal premiums.
Death Claims. Our product pricing assumes a certain mortality rate and thus a primary liquidity concern is the risk of higher than expected mortality experience. Our death benefit payments decreased in the three ended March 31, 2025.
Another significant use of cash is payment of commissions. In our CICA Domestic business, we pay advance commissions on some of our insurance products, meaning we pay an agent a portion of their first year commission immediately upon sale of a policy, rather than "as earned", or when premiums are received by us. Because of this, another liquidity concern is that rapid growth in first year sales of these products creates a significant increase in commission payments. CICA Domestic sales have increased significantly since the third quarter of 2023. To offset some of this strain on our capital, we entered into the coinsurance agreement with RGA in the second quarter of
March 31, 2025 | 10-Q 54

CITIZENS, INC. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

2024 and elected to cede 50% of our final expense business to RGA, which alleviates some of the expense strain. We may also seek other options, such as loans at the holding company level (from the Credit Facility or otherwise) that would allow us to reduce the liquidity risk should CICA Domestic's required commission payments exceed current resources.
See Part I, Item 1, Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies, as well as Legal Proceedings - Trade Secret Lawsuit in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of the trade secret lawsuit, which could negatively impact our cash if we do not succeed in our appeal.
Regulatory Restrictions on our Use of Cash
As discussed above, we are subject to regulatory capital requirements that could affect the Company’s ability to access capital from our insurance operations or cause the Company to have to put additional cash in our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Our domestic companies are subject to minimum capital requirements set by the NAIC in the form of risk-based capital ("RBC"). RBC considers the type of business written by an insurance company, the quality of its assets, and various other aspects of an insurance company's business to develop a minimum level of capital called "Authorized Control Level Risk-Based Capital". This level of capital is then compared to an adjusted statutory capital that includes capital and surplus as reported under statutory accounting principles, plus certain investment reserves. Should the ratio of adjusted statutory capital to control level RBC fall below 200% for our domestic companies, a series of remedial actions by the affected company would be required. Additionally, we have a Capital Maintenance Agreement between Citizens and CICA Domestic, Citizens' wholly-owned subsidiary domiciled in Colorado, which would require Citizens to contribute capital to CICA Domestic in order to maintain a RBC level above 350%. At March 31, 2025, our domestic insurance subsidiaries were above the required minimum RBC levels and CICA Domestic was above 350%.
For CICA Domestic, commission advances are non-admitted assets, which means we need capital to "replace" these assets in order to maintain required regulatory capital levels. As discussed above, management is investigating various options in order to reduce both regulatory capital and liquidity risk should the capital required to support this pace of growth exceed current resources. Citizens may have to contribute capital to CICA Domestic to maintain the required RBC ratio.
CICA International is a Puerto Rico domiciled company. The Insurance Code of Puerto Rico does not specifically set forth minimum capital and surplus standards, but rather requires that an insurer submit a business plan for approval to the OIC that includes proposed minimum capital and surplus. CICA International is required to maintain a minimum of $750,000 in capital and maintain a premium to surplus ratio of 7 to 1. At March 31, 2025, CICA International exceeded the required minimum capital and related ratio.
Any capital that Citizens is required to contribute to its insurance subsidiaries would negatively impact the holding Company's capital resources and liquidity.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2025, we have no additional contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those described in Part I, Item 1, Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements herein and in Part II, Item 7, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in our 2024 Form 10-K. We do not utilize special purpose entities as investment vehicles, nor are there any such entities in which we have an investment that engage in speculative activities of any nature, and we do not use such investments to hedge our investment positions.
