During the first quarter of 2025, real estate, formerly utilized as district offices in our Home Service Insurance segment in Baton Rouge and Bogalusa, Louisiana, was reclassified from net property, plant and equipment 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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company accepted a tender offer by Discovery Communications, Inc. after considering the outlook of the issuer. As a result, the Company recognized a realized loss of $0.4 million, which is recorded a net realized investment loss for the period.
