Validus Holdings, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share information)
1. Basis of preparation and consolidation
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Validus Holdings, Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company consolidates in these Consolidated Financial Statements the results of operations and financial position of all voting interest entities (“VOE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and all variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
The preparation of these 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include:
•reserve for losses and loss expenses;
•premium estimates for business written on a line slip or proportional basis;
•the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets;
•reinsurance recoverable balances including the provision for uncollectible amounts; and
•investment valuation of financial assets.
The term “ASC” used in these notes refers to Accounting Standard Codification issued by the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).
2. Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718).” This ASU is directed at reducing diversity in practice when applying the accounting guidance to a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has evaluated the impact of this guidance and it will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company plans to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018.

3. Business combination
On May 1, 2017, Western World Insurance Group, Inc. (“Western World”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Crop Risk Services (“CRS”) for an aggregate purchase price of $185,576 in cash. CRS is a primary crop insurance managing general agent (“MGA”) based in Decatur, Illinois with 1,170 agents across 36 states. CRS does not have insurance licenses of its own, but acts solely as an MGA in that it can produce business for any properly licensed entity on a commission basis. Concurrent with closing of the transaction, Stratford Insurance Company (“Stratford”), a wholly–owned subsidiary of Western World, was granted the required license to write crop insurance in the United States and executed several agreements to transfer the related agriculture book of business to Stratford.
The CRS acquisition was undertaken to complement the Company’s existing agricultural business and expand the Company’s presence in U.S. primary specialty lines.
For segmental reporting purposes, the results of CRS’ operations, including the related agricultural book of business have been included within the Western World segment in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.
On closing, the Company recorded intangible assets totaling $63,921 for Distribution Channels, Brand Name and Technology. Distribution Channels and Brand Name were estimated to have finite useful economic lives of ten years on acquisition and are being amortized on a straight line basis over such period. Technology was estimated to have a finite useful economic life of two years on acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over such a period.
The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of CRS based on estimated fair values on May 1, 2017, the date the transaction closed, as detailed below. The Company recognized goodwill of $30,943 primarily attributable to CRS’s assembled workforce and synergies expected to result upon the integration of CRS and its related book of business into the Company’s operations. The estimates of fair values for tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by management based on various market and income analyses. The Company estimated the fair values of intangible assets acquired based on variations of the income and cost approaches. Significant judgment was required to arrive at these estimates of fair value and changes to assumptions used could have led to materially different results.
The purchase of CRS was a taxable transaction and as such, goodwill and intangibles recorded at closing will be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has recognized and recorded a deferred tax asset of $6,443 which results from the excess of tax-deductible goodwill over book goodwill as recognized in the purchase price allocation.
