Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
BRP Group, Inc. (“BRP Group” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 1, 2019. BRP Group was formed for the purpose of completing an initial public offering of its common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC (“BRP”) as a publicly-traded entity. On October 28, 2019, BRP Group completed an initial public offering of its Class A common stock (the “Initial Public Offering”) and became the sole managing member of BRP. The consolidated financial statements of BRP Group have been presented as a combination of the financial results of BRP Group and BRP as of the earliest period presented as discussed further under Principles of Consolidation below.
BRP Group is a diversified insurance agency and services organization that markets and sells insurance products and services to its customers throughout the U.S., although a significant portion of the Company’s business is concentrated in the southeastern U.S. BRP Group and its subsidiaries operate through four reportable segments (“Operating Groups”), including Middle Market, Specialty, MainStreet, and Medicare, which are discussed in more detail in Note 15.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BRP Group and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
As the sole manager of BRP, BRP Group operates and controls all the business and affairs of BRP, and has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, BRP. Accordingly, BRP Group began consolidating BRP in its consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the LLC Units held by BRP’s LLC members (the “LLC Units”) on its consolidated financial statements.
BRP and BRP Group have been under the common control of the Company’s Chairman, Lowry Baldwin, before and after the reorganization transactions undertaken in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Reorganization Transactions”). Prior to the Reorganization Transactions, Mr. Baldwin held a controlling interest in Baldwin Investment Group Holdings, LLC (“BIGH”), which was the controlling owner of BRP through its majority ownership of BRP’s common units. In addition, Mr. Baldwin was the sole shareholder of BRP Group. Upon reorganization, BRP Group became the sole managing member of BRP. Holders of the Class B common stock hold a majority of the voting power of BRP Group and stockholders of a majority of the Class B common stock, including BIGH, executed a Voting Agreement in which they agreed to vote in the same manner as Mr. Baldwin. As a result, Mr. Baldwin continues to control BRP Group subsequent to the Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions. Accordingly, we have accounted for the Reorganization Transactions as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues, under which the financial information of BRP Group has been combined with that of BRP as of the earliest period presented.
The Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“Topic 810”). Topic 810 requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company has recognized certain entities as variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary and has included the accounts of these entities in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest entities.
Topic 810 also requires that the equity of a noncontrolling interest shall be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within total equity of the Company. Certain redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as mezzanine equity. Topic 810 also requires revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income or loss to be reported in the consolidated financial statements at consolidated amounts, which include amounts attributable to the owners of the parent and the noncontrolling interests.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interests are reported at historical cost basis adjusted for cumulative earnings or loss allocations and classified as a component of stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interest as presented as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consists of the noncontrolling interest holdings of BRP Group subsequent to the Company’s reorganization in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The controlling interest holdings of BRP for the period from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 have been reclassified to noncontrolling interest holdings of BRP Group for presentation of activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Unaudited Interim Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair statement have been included. The accompanying balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the application of guidance for revenue recognition, including determination of allowances for estimated policy cancellations, business combinations and purchase price allocation, impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill, and valuation of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and share-based compensation.
Changes in Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
As an emerging growth company, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act permits the Company an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period and adopt certain new accounting standards on the private company timeline, which means that the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis. The Company has elected the extended transition period for the adoption of the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) below, except those where early adoption was both permitted and elected.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which improves upon the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the full effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the guidance for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The FASB has subsequently issued several additional ASUs related to credit losses, which improved upon, and provided transition relief for, the guidance issued in ASU 2016-13 and extended the adoption date for nonpublic business entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the full effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“Topic 820”): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020, which impacted the presentation of the fair value measurements disclosure in Note 13, but did not otherwise impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed for the year ended December 31, 2019 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2020, except as noted below.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages this risk using high creditworthy financial institutions. Interest-bearing accounts and noninterest-bearing accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits exceed amounts insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses from its deposits.
One Insurance Company Partner accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s total core commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
3. Business Combinations
The Company completed four business combinations for an aggregate purchase price of $59.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), total consideration was first allocated to the fair value of assets acquired, including liabilities assumed, with the excess being recorded as goodwill. For financial statement purposes, goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances occurs that indicates goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and will be amortized over a period of fifteen years.
The recorded purchase price for certain business combinations includes an estimation of the fair value of contingent consideration obligations associated with potential earnout provisions, which are generally based on earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The contingent earnout consideration amounts identified in the tables below are measured at fair value within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as discussed further in Note 13. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent earnout liabilities will be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income when incurred.
The recorded purchase price for certain business combinations also includes an estimation of the fair value of noncontrolling interests, which are calculated based on a valuation of the entity with the relevant percentage applied.
The Company completed the following four business combinations during the three months ended March 31, 2020:
|
|
•
|
Lanier, a Middle Market Partner effective January 1, 2020, was made to expand our Middle Market presence in the healthcare, higher education, construction, property and non-profit businesses throughout Florida and other states.
|
|
|
•
|
Highland, a Specialty Partner effective January 1, 2020, was made to expand our Specialty presence in the healthcare and cyber insurance businesses and to add capabilities within the real estate business.
|
|
|
•
|
AgencyRM, a Medicare Partner effective February 1, 2020, was made to expand our Medicare business presence in Texas.
|
|
|
•
|
VibrantUSA, a Medicare Partner effective February 1, 2020, was made to expand our Medicare business presence in Washington.
|
The operating results of these business combinations have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income since their respective acquisition dates. The Company recognized total revenues and net income from these business combinations of $7.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with these business combinations are recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs from these business combinations of $456,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The table below provides a summary of the total consideration and the estimated purchase price allocations made for each of the business acquisitions that became effective during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Due to the complexity of valuing the consideration paid and the purchase price allocation and the timing of these activities, certain amounts included in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be provisional and subject to additional adjustments within the measurement period as permitted by Topic 805. Any measurement period adjustments related to prior period business combinations have been reflected as current period adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with Topic 805.

The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on expanding business presence into new geographic locations and service markets, strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from acquiring the Partners’ assembled workforce in addition to other synergies gained from integrating the Partners’ operations into our consolidated structure.

4. Variable Interest Entities
Topic 810 requires a reporting entity to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when the reporting entity has a variable interest or combination of variable interests that provide the entity with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company continually assesses whether it has a controlling financial interest in each of its VIEs to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and should, therefore, consolidate each of the VIEs. A reporting entity is considered to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs, which, at March 31, 2019, included The Villages Insurance Partners, LLC (“TVIP”) and the Company’s joint ventures, BKS-IPEO JV Partners, LLC (“iPEO”), Laureate Insurance Partners, LLC (“Laureate”), BKS Smith, LLC (“Smith”), BKS MS, LLC (“Saunders”) and BKS Partners Galati Marine Solutions, LLC (“Galati”). In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and Initial Public Offering in October 2019, the Company acquired the equity interests of TVIP and iPEO, which became wholly-owned subsidiaries of BRP and, accordingly, are no longer VIEs of the Company at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has consolidated its VIEs into the consolidated financial statements.
Total revenues and expenses of the Company’s consolidated VIEs included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income were $238,000 and $189,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $4.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The revenues and expenses of TVIP and iPEO are included in the revenues and expenses of the Company’s consolidated VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The assets of the consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated VIEs and the creditors of the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company. The following tables provide a summary of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs at each of the balance sheet dates:

__________
|
|
(1)
|
Direct bill revenue represents commission revenue earned by facilitating the arrangement between individuals or businesses and Insurance Company Partners by providing insurance placement services to Clients, primarily for private risk management, commercial risk management, employee benefits and Medicare insurance types.
|
|
|
(2)
|
Agency bill revenue primarily represents commission revenue earned by facilitating the arrangement between individuals or businesses and Insurance Company Partners by providing insurance placement services to Clients. The Company acts as an agent on behalf of the Client for the term of the insurance policy.
|
|
|
(3)
|
Profit-sharing revenue represents bonus-type revenue that is earned by the Company as a sales incentive provided by certain Insurance Company Partners.
|
|
|
(4)
|
Policy fee revenue represents revenue earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA on behalf of the Insurance Company Partner and fulfilling certain services including delivery of policy documents, processing payments and other administrative functions. Installment fee revenue represents revenue earned by the Company for providing payment processing services on behalf of the Insurance Company Partner related to policy premiums paid on an installment basis.
|
|
|
(5)
|
Service fee revenue is earned by receiving negotiated fees in lieu of a commission and consulting revenue is earned by providing specialty insurance consulting.
|
|
|
(6)
|
Other income consists primarily of Medicare marketing income that is based on agreed-upon cost reimbursement for fulfilling specific targeted marketing campaigns.
|
The application of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), requires the use of management judgment. The following are the areas of most significant judgment as it relates to Topic 606:
|
|
•
|
The Company considers the policyholders as representative of its customers in the majority of contractual relationships, with the exception of contracts in its Medicare operating segment, where the Insurance Company Partner is considered its customer.
|
|
|
•
|
Contracts in the Medicare operating segment are multi-year arrangements in which the Company is entitled to renewal commissions. However, the Company has applied a constraint to renewal commission that limits revenue recognized on new policies to the policy year in effect, and revenue recognized on renewed policies to the receipt of periodic cash, when a risk of significant reversals exists based on: (i) insufficient history; and (ii) the influence of external factors outside of the Company’s control, including policyholder discretion over plans and Insurance Company Partner relationship, political influence, and a contractual provision, which limits the Company’s right to receive renewal commissions to ongoing compliance and regulatory approval of the relevant Insurance Company Partner and compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
|
|
|
•
|
The Company recognizes separately contracted commissions revenue at the effective date of insurance placement and considers any ongoing interaction with the customer to be immaterial in the context of the contract.
|
|
|
•
|
Variable consideration includes estimates of direct bill commissions, a reserve for policy cancellations and an estimate of profit-sharing revenue.
|
|
|
•
|
Costs to obtain a contract are deferred and recognized over a five-year period, which represents management’s estimate of the average period over which a Client maintains its initial coverage relationship with the original Insurance Company Partner.
|
|
|
•
|
Due to the relatively short time period between the information gathering phase and binding insurance coverage, the Company has determined that costs to fulfill contracts are not significant. Therefore, costs to fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
|
6. Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets arise when the Company recognizes revenue for amounts which have not yet been billed and contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract before the transfer of a good or service to the customer. Contract assets are included in premiums, commissions and fees receivable, net and contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balances of contract assets and liabilities arising from contracts with customers are as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $3.2 million related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2019.
7. Deferred Commission Expense
The Company pays an incremental amount of compensation in the form of producer commissions on new business. In accordance with ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, these incremental costs are deferred and amortized over five years, which represents management’s estimate of the average benefit period. Deferred commission expense represents employee commissions that are capitalized and not yet expensed.

9. Long-Term Debt
The Company has a syndicated credit agreement with JPMorgan as successor agent and lead arranger (the “JPMorgan Credit Agreement”), which has a maturity date of September 23, 2024. At December 31, 2019, the JPMorgan Credit Agreement provided for an aggregate borrowing capacity of $225.0 million under a revolving credit commitment (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), of which no more than $65.0 million of the aggregate borrowing capacity is available for working capital purposes and the entirety of which is available to fund acquisitions.
On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into the Incremental Facility Amendment No. 1 to the JP Morgan Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity to $300.0 million and drew $20.0 million on the Revolving Credit Commitment to utilize for working capital purposes. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs related to the amendment of $230,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the variable rate in effect for the JPMorgan Credit Agreement was the London Interbank Offered Rate due to a repricing option. The applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Commitment was 3.00% and 3.81% at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The JPMorgan Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants and comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants as listed in the underlying agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2020.
10. Related Party Transactions
Commission Revenue
The Company serves as a broker for Holding Company of the Villages, Inc. (“Villages”), a related party entity. Commission revenue recorded as a result of these transactions was $269,000 and $310,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Rent Expense
The Company has various agreements to lease office space from wholly-owned subsidiaries of Villages. Total rent expense incurred with respect to Villages and its wholly-owned subsidiaries was $133,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company has various agreements to lease office space from other related parties. Total rent expense incurred with respect to related parties other than Villages was $248,000 and $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
11. Share-Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company granted an aggregate of 2,298 shares of restricted stock under the BRP Group, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to its non-employee directors. These shares of restricted stock vested immediately upon issuance. In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 7,021 shares of restricted stock under the Omnibus Plan to Colleagues who onboarded in connection with our Partnerships. These shares of restricted stock cliff vest after four years.
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for the Omnibus Plan net of actual forfeitures. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $645,000 in connection with the Omnibus Plan and Management Incentive Units for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is included in commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
12. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to BRP Group, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of Class B common stock.
The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to BRP Group, and therefore, are not participating securities. Accordingly, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included. The 43,544,362 shares of Class B common stock have been excluded in computing diluted net earnings per share because including them on an “if-converted” basis would have an anti-dilutive effect.
The following is a calculation of the basic and diluted weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

13. Fair Value Measurements
Topic 820 established a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described below:
|
|
Level 1:
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
|
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are based on limited unobservable inputs. These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within each level of the fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s contingently returnable consideration at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 represents a contingent right of return from a Partner to reimburse the Company for a portion of the purchase price as part of the Partnership transaction. The fair value of the contingently returnable consideration is based on sales projections for the acquired entity, which are reassessed each reporting period. Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of the fair value of contingently returnable consideration, the Company recorded a net increase in the estimated fair value of such asset of $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company has assessed the maximum refund relating to the contingently returnable consideration to be $1.3 million at March 31, 2020.
The fair value of contingent earnout liabilities is based on sales projections for the acquired entities, which are reassessed each reporting period. Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of the fair value of contingent earnout liability, the Company recorded a net increase in the estimated fair value of such liabilities of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company has assessed the maximum estimated exposure to the contingent earnout liabilities to be $119.3 million at March 31, 2020.
The Company measures contingently returnable consideration and contingent earnout liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a probability weighted value analysis as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are sales projections over the earnout period, and the probability outcome percentages assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower asset or liability with a higher asset capped by the contractual maximum of the contingently returnable consideration and a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earnout liabilities. Ultimately, the asset and liability will be equivalent to the amount settled, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount settled will be recorded in earnings for business combinations, or as a reduction of the cost of the assets acquired for asset acquisitions. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding contingently returnable consideration and contingent earnout consideration recorded in connection with business acquisitions.
The fair value of the contingent earnout liabilities is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to Partners in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company estimates the Partner’s future performance using financial projections developed by management for the Partner and market participant assumptions that were derived for revenue growth or profitability. Revenue and EBITDA growth rates generally ranged from 8% to 20%. The Company estimates future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and these financial projections. These payments are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the Partner to achieve the targets. These discount rates generally ranged from 7.75% to 18.75%. Changes in financial projections, market participant assumptions for revenue growth and profitability, or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s contingently returnable consideration and contingent earnout liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 assumptions in their valuation:

The change in fair value of contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 related entirely to assets and liabilities that were held at the end of the respective periods.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Revolving Credit Commitment is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on an estimate using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Commitment was approximately $58.9 million at March 31, 2020 compared to a carrying value of $60.4 million. The carrying amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of $40.4 million approximated fair value at December 31, 2019 as a result of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement having been amended and restated at market terms on December 19, 2019.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
15. Segment Information
BRP Group’s business is divided into four Operating Groups: Middle Market, Specialty, MainStreet, and Medicare.
|
|
•
|
Middle Market provides private risk management, commercial risk management and employee benefits solutions for mid-to-large size businesses and high net worth individuals and families.
|
|
|
•
|
Specialty represents a wholesale co-brokerage platform that delivers specialty insurers, professionals, individuals and niche industry businesses expanded access to exclusive specialty markets, capabilities and programs requiring complex underwriting and placement. Specialty also represents a leading technology platform, MGA of the Future, which is a national renter’s insurance product distributed via sub-agent partners and property management software providers, which has expanded distribution capabilities for new products through our wholesale and retail networks.
|
|
|
•
|
MainStreet offers personal insurance, commercial insurance and life and health solutions to individuals and businesses in their communities.
|
|
|
•
|
Medicare offers consultation for government assistance programs and solutions, including traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, to seniors and Medicare-eligible individuals through a network of agents.
|
In the Middle Market, MainStreet, and Specialty Operating Groups, the Company generates commissions and fees from insurance placement under both agency bill and direct bill arrangements. In addition, the Company generates profit sharing income in each of those segments based on either the underlying book of business or performance, such as loss ratios. In the Middle Market Operating Group only, the Company generates fees from service fee and consulting arrangements. Service fee arrangements are in place with certain customers in lieu of commission arrangements.
In the Medicare Operating Group, the Company generates commissions and fees in the form of direct bill insurance placement and marketing income. Marketing income is earned through co-branded marketing campaigns with the Company’s Insurance Company Partners.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, uses net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time transactional-related expenses or non-recurring items to manage resources and make decisions about the business. There are no intersegment net sales that occurred during the reporting periods.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s Operating Groups is shown in the following tables. The “Corporate and Other” column includes any expenses not allocated to the Operating Groups and corporate-related items, including related party and third-party interest expense. Service center expenses and other overhead are allocated to the Company’s Operating Groups based on either revenue or headcount as applicable to each expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In 2011, we adopted the “Azimuth” as our corporate constitution. Named after a historical navigation tool used to find “true north,” the Azimuth asserts our core values, business basics and stakeholder promises. The ideals encompassed by the Azimuth support our mission to deliver indispensable, tailored insurance and risk management insights and solutions to our clients. We strive to be regarded as the preeminent insurance advisory firm fueled by relationships, powered by people and exemplified by client adoption and loyalty. This type of environment is upheld by the distinct vernacular we use to describe our services and culture. We are a firm, instead of an agency; we have Colleagues, instead of employees; we have Risk Advisors, instead of producers/agents. We serve clients instead of customers and we refer to our acquisitions as Partnerships.
The insurance brokerage market is seasonal and our results of operations are somewhat affected by seasonal trends. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins are typically highest in the first quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. This variation is primarily due to fluctuations in our revenues, while overhead remains consistent throughout the year. Our revenues are generally highest in the first quarter due to the impact of contingent payments received in the first quarter from Insurance Company Partners that we cannot readily estimate before receipt without the risk of significant reversal and a higher degree of first quarter policy commencements and renewals in Medicare and certain Middle Market lines of business such as employee benefits and commercial. In addition, a higher proportion of our first quarter revenue is derived from our highest margin businesses. As discussed further below, the COVID-19 pandemic may skew these general trends due to reduced amounts of new business and reductions in business from existing Clients related to the pandemic.
Partnerships can significantly impact Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins in a given year and may increase the amount of seasonality within the business, especially results attributable to Partnerships that have not been fully integrated into our business or owned by us for a full year.
PARTNERSHIPS
We utilize strategic acquisitions, which we refer to as Partnerships, to complement and expand our business. The financial impact of Partnerships may affect the comparability of our results from period to period. Our acquisition strategy also entails certain risks, including the risks that we may not be able to successfully source, close, integrate and effectively manage businesses that we acquire. To mitigate that risk, we have a professional team focused on finding new Partners and integrating new Partnerships. We plan to execute on numerous Partnerships annually as it is a key pillar in our long-term growth strategy over the next ten years.
We completed four Partnerships for an aggregate purchase price of $59.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and one Partnership for an aggregate purchase price of $37.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The most significant Partnerships that we have completed during 2020 are discussed in greater detail below. For additional information on the Partnerships that we have completed during 2020, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this report.
Effective January 1, 2020, we purchased certain assets and intellectual and intangible rights and assumed certain liabilities of Lanier, a Middle Market Partner for cash consideration of $24.5 million and fair value of noncontrolling interest of $6.1 million and fair value of contingent earnout consideration of $1.6 million. The Partnership was made to expand our Middle Market presence in the healthcare, higher education, construction, property and non-profit businesses throughout Florida and other states.
Effective January 1, 2020, we purchased certain assets and intellectual and intangible rights and assumed certain liabilities of Highland, a Specialty Partner, for cash consideration of $6.6 million, fair value of noncontrolling interest of $4.5 million and fair value of contingent earnout consideration of $788,000. The Partnership was made to expand our Specialty presence in the healthcare and cyber insurance businesses and to add capabilities within the real estate business.
NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, a pandemic. This COVID-19 outbreak has become increasingly widespread and severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to this outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions, including in the United States, have taken preventive or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forgo their time outside of their homes. In the United States, temporary closures of businesses have been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily.
Our Clients and Colleagues are our first priority and we have taken steps to ensure their safety by implementing a remote work environment for the majority of our Colleagues without disruption to Client service. We have funded the BRP True North Colleague Fund to assist with relief for COVID-19 and other qualifying disasters for our Colleagues experiencing extraordinary hardship. We are currently matching Colleague donations dollar-for dollar.
We intend to continue to execute on our strategic plans and operational initiatives during the pandemic. However, given the uncertainty regarding the spread and severity of COVID-19, the duration and scope of the government shutdowns, the nature of societal responses and the adverse effects on the national and global economy, the related financial impact on our business cannot be accurately predicted at this time. The national and global economies have rapidly contracted as a result of COVID-19. The decreased level of economic activity is leading to, and is likely to continue to lead to, a decline in exposure units and rising unemployment. In addition, the uncertainties associated with the protective and preventive measures being put in place or recommended by both governmental entities and other businesses, among other uncertainties, may result in delays or modifications to our plans and initiatives. See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors - The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could result in declines in business and increases in claims that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following is a discussion of our consolidated results of operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Commissions and Fees
We earn commissions and fees by facilitating the arrangement between Insurance Company Partners and individuals or businesses for the carrier to provide insurance to the insured party. Our commissions and fees are usually a percentage of the premium paid by the insured and generally depends on the type of insurance, the particular Insurance Company Partner and the nature of the services provided. Under certain arrangements with clients, we earn pre-negotiated service fees in lieu of commissions. Additionally, we may also receive from Insurance Company Partners a profit-sharing commission, or straight override, which represent forms of variable consideration associated with the placement of coverage and are based primarily on underwriting results, but may also contain considerations for volume, growth or retention.
Commissions and fees increased by $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to commissions and fees attributable to Partners acquired during 2019 and 2020 prior to their having reached the twelve-month owned mark (such commissions and fees, the “Partnership Contribution”), which accounted for $22.9 million commissions and fees, in addition to $1.5 million of organic growth.
Major Sources of Commissions and Fees

Direct bill revenue represents commission revenue earned by providing insurance placement services to clients, primarily for private risk management, commercial risk management, employee benefits and Medicare insurance types. Direct bill revenue increased by $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $6.9 million direct bill revenue, in addition to organic growth. Organic growth for direct bill revenue was negatively impacted by $0.2 million as a result of incremental cancellation reserves related to COVID-19.
Agency bill revenue primarily represents commission revenue earned by providing insurance placement services to clients wherein we act as an agent on behalf of the Client. Agency bill revenue increased by $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $11.1 million agency bill revenue, in addition to organic growth. Organic growth for agency bill revenue was negatively impacted by $0.1 million as a result of incremental cancellation reserves related to COVID-19.
Profit-sharing revenue represents bonus-type revenue that is earned by us as a sales incentive provided by certain Insurance Company Partners. Profit-sharing revenue increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $1.3 million profit-sharing revenue, offset in part by a decrease of $0.6 million in profit sharing revenue generated by legacy businesses as a result of expected higher loss ratios in our Middle Market and MainStreet Operating Groups. We expect higher loss ratios to continue to reduce contingent revenue for our MainStreet business through June 2020 and increase base commissions and fees towards the end of 2020 and into 2021.
Policy fee and installment fee revenue represents revenue earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA and providing payment processing and services and other administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners. We earned $3.4 million of policy fee and installment fee revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from our “MGA of the Future,” which was acquired April 1, 2019 and resides in our Specialty Operating Group.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits is our largest expense. It consists of (a) base compensation comprising salary, bonuses and benefits paid and payable to Colleagues, commissions paid to Colleagues and outside commissions paid to others; and (b) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of restricted interest awards to senior management, Risk Advisors and executives. We expect to continue to experience a general rise in commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in our sales and headcount and as a result of increasing employee compensation related to ongoing public company costs. We operate in competitive markets for human capital and need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.
Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain significant bonus or commission components driven by the results of our operations. Therefore, as we grow commissions and fees, we expect compensation costs to rise.
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $14.5 million commissions, employee compensation and benefits. In addition, we had increased compensation of $1.6 million as a result of 2019 hiring for new roles necessary as a public company and $1.0 million related to share-based compensation expense.

Other operating expenses include travel, accounting, legal and other professional fees, placement fees, rent, office expenses, depreciation and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the number of our employees and the overall size and scale of our business operations. In addition, we are investing in the expansion of our Tampa offices to accommodate our growth plans, which will result in an increase to rent expense beginning in April 2020. Certain corporate expenses are allocated to the Operating Groups.
Other operating expenses increased by $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to operating expenses such as additional rent and increased software costs, professional fees, travel, and other expenses from the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $2.0 million other operating expenses. In the first quarter of 2020, we had public company costs of $0.7 million and higher professional fees related to being a public company.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense increased by $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was driven by amortization of $1.8 million related to intangible assets capitalized in connection with the Millennial Specialty Insurance LLC “MSI” Partner, in addition to amortization related to other Partners acquired since the first quarter of 2019.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $(2.8) million for the same period of 2019. The change in fair value of contingent consideration results from fluctuations in the value of the relevant measurement basis, normally revenue or EBITDA, of our Partners. We had significantly higher estimates for the contingent earnout liabilities of the MSI and Foundation Insurance of Florida, LLC (“Foundation Insurance”) Partners during the first quarter of 2020 related to growth of their business during the period under consolidation. We had lower estimates for the contingent earnout liabilities of certain Partners during the first quarter of 2019, particularly in the Middle Market business.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. This decrease was attributable to a lower overall debt balance during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 as a result of our having paid off one of our credit facilities in October 2019 in connection with our initial public offering.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Organic Revenue, Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, including commissions and fees (for Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth), net income (loss) (for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin) net income (loss) attributable to BRP Group, Inc. (for Adjusted Net Income) or diluted EPS (for Adjusted Diluted EPS), which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for commissions and fees, net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, and accordingly these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, depreciation, amortization and change in fair value of contingent consideration. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses related to Partnerships including severance, and certain non-recurring costs, including those related to our initial public offering and loss on modification and extinguishment of debt. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by commissions and fees. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have important limitations as analytical tools. For example, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
|
|
•
|
do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
|
|
|
•
|
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
|
|
•
|
do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;
|
|
|
•
|
do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
|
|
|
•
|
do not reflect stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash charges; and
|
|
|
•
|
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
|
We calculate Organic Revenue Growth based on commissions and fees for the relevant period by excluding the first twelve months of commissions and fees generated from new Partners. Organic Revenue Growth is the change in Organic Revenue period-to-period, with prior period results adjusted for Organic Revenues that were excluded in the prior period because the relevant Partners had not yet reached the twelve-month owned mark, but which have reached the twelve-month owned mark in the current period. For example, revenues from a Partner acquired on June 1, 2019 are excluded from Organic Revenue for 2019. However, after June 1, 2020, results from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 for such Partners are compared to results from June 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 for purposes of calculating Organic Revenue Growth in 2020. Organic Revenue Growth is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth are appropriate measures of operating performance as they allow investors to measure, analyze and compare growth in a meaningful and consistent manner.
Adjusted Net Income is presented for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted EPS. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including costs related to our initial public offering, share-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses related to Partnerships including severance, and certain non-recurring costs that, in the opinion of management, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results, and the related tax effect of those adjustments.
Adjusted Diluted EPS measures our per share earnings excluding certain expenses as discussed above and assuming all shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for Class A common stock. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted dilutive weighted-average shares outstanding. We believe Adjusted Diluted EPS is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per share operating performance across reporting periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY OPERATING GROUP
Commissions and Fees
In the Middle Market, MainStreet and Specialty Operating Groups, the Company generates commissions and fees from insurance placement under both agency bill and direct bill arrangements. In addition, the Company generates profit-sharing income in each of those segments based on either the underlying Book of Business or performance, such as loss ratios. In the Middle Market Operating Group only, the Company generates fees from service fee and consulting arrangements. Service fee arrangements are in place with certain customers in lieu of commission arrangements.
In the Medicare Operating Group, BRP generates commissions and fees in the form of direct bill insurance placement and marketing income. Marketing income is earned through co-branded marketing campaigns with the Company’s Insurance Company Partners.
The following table sets forth our commissions and fees by Operating Group by amount and as a percentage of our commissions and fees:

__________
Commissions and fees increased across all Operating Groups for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. These increases were primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $5.0 million, $13.9 million, $1.4 million and $2.6 million commissions and fees in the Middle Market, Specialty, MainStreet and Medicare Operating Groups, respectively, during 2020. The remaining variances are attributable to organic growth. Our Middle Market Operating Group is most likely to feel the impact of the pandemic should the economic contraction persist and businesses act to further reduce their workforces.
The Specialty Operating Group had higher contingent revenue related to organic growth during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of its 2019 Partnership, while the Middle Market and MainStreet Operating Groups had lower contingent revenue related to organic growth during the same period related to poor loss trends in our Florida-based personal lines businesses and private risk business in 2019. We expect higher loss ratios to continue to reduce contingent revenue for our MainStreet business through June 2020 and increase base commissions and fees towards the end of 2020 and into 2021 for those Operating Groups.
Policies in force for Specialty’s MSI Partnership grew by 107,147, or 36%, to 401,520 at March 31, 2020 from 294,373 at March 31, 2019. Since the MSI Partnership was not completed until April 2019, the 36% policies in force growth was calculated including periods during which MSI was not owned by the Company.

Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses increased across all Operating Groups for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. These increases were primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $2.9 million, $9.7 million, $0.7 million and $1.2 million commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses in the Middle Market, Specialty, MainStreet and Medicare Operating Groups, respectively, during 2020. Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses also increased throughout the four Operating Groups as a result of continued investments in Growth Services to support our growth, which costs are allocated among the Operating Groups.
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses for Corporate and Other increased as a result of hiring new roles necessary as a public company and due to $1.0 million of additional share-based compensation expense incurred during 2020.

Other operating expenses increased across all Operating Groups for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. These increases were primarily attributable to the Partnership Contribution, which accounted for $0.7 million, $1.0 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million other operating expenses in the Middle Market, Specialty, MainStreet and Medicare Operating Groups, respectively, during 2020. The remainder of the increases in the four Operating Groups were driven by organic growth.
Other operating expenses in Corporate and Other, including professional fees, insurance, colleague education, travel and dues and subscriptions, increased primarily as a result of being a public company.

Amortization expense increased across all Operating Groups for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. These increases were driven by intangible assets capitalized in connection with Partners acquired since the first quarter of 2019 across all Operating Groups.

__________
The change in fair value of contingent consideration results from fluctuations in the value of the relevant measurement basis, normally revenue or EBITDA of our Partners. The Specialty and MainStreet Operating Groups recorded losses of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of higher estimates for the contingent consideration liabilities of the MSI and Foundation Insurance Partnerships related to growth of business.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity needs for the foreseeable future will include cash to (i) provide capital to facilitate the organic growth of our business and to fund future Partnerships, (ii) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees and expenses related to being a public company, (iii) make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (iv) pay interest and principal due on borrowings under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, (v) pay contingent earnout liabilities, and (vi) pay income taxes. We have historically financed our operations and funded our debt service and distributions to our owners through the sale of our insurance products and services. In addition, we financed significant cash needs to fund growth through the acquisition of Partners through debt financing.
As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $52.1 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our working capital and meet our commitments for the foreseeable future. However, we expect that we will require additional funding to continue to execute on our Partnership strategy. Such funding could include the incurrence of additional debt or the issuance of equity. Additional funds may not be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funds, if raised, may not be sufficient to enable us to continue to implement our long-term Partnership strategy. If we are not able to raise funds when needed, we could be forced to delay or reduce the number of Partnerships that we complete.
See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors - The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could result in declines in business and increases in claims that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
JPMorgan Credit Agreement
As of March 31, 2020, we had an aggregate borrowing capacity of $300.0 million under the revolving credit commitment (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”) of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, which matures on September 23, 2024 and of which no more than $65.0 million is available for working capital purposes and the entirety of which is available to fund acquisitions permitted under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement. On March 12, 2020, we drew $20.0 million on the Revolving Credit Commitment to utilize for working capital purposes in anticipation of the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Commitment was $60.4 million at March 31, 2020. On April 28, 2020, the Company converted $10.0 million of its borrowings previously drawn on the Revolving Credit Commitment for working capital purposes to utilize such proceeds for funding Partnerships closed on May 1, 2020.
The Revolving Credit Commitment is collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of the Company, including a pledge of all equity securities of each of its subsidiaries. The interest rate of the Revolving Credit Commitment is based on, depending on the type of loan, the Eurodollar rate or the Alternative Base Rate, plus, in each case, a margin based on Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement), as set forth in the pricing grid below, provided that under no circumstances will the LIBO Rate (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement) used in the determination of the Eurodollar rate be less than 0.00% or the Alternate Base Rate be less than 1.00%:

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the variable rate in effect for the JPMorgan Credit Agreement was the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) due to a pricing option and the applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Commitment was 3.00% and 3.81%, respectively.
The JPMorgan Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to make certain restricted payments, incur additional debt, engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change our business, make certain investments or restrict BRP’s ability to make dividends or other distributions to BRP Group.
In addition, the JPMorgan Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement) at or below 5.00 to 1.00 up to but excluding September 21, 2022 (with scheduled annual step downs to 4.75 to 1.00 and 4.50 to 1.00 beginning in 2022 and with step ups of 0.50 to 1.00 and 0.25 to 1.00 for the first and second quarters, respectively, after any Material Acquisition (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement)), Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement) at or above 2.00 to 1.00 up to but excluding September 21, 2022 (with scheduled annual step ups to 2.25 to 1.00 and 2.50 to 1.00 beginning in 2022) and Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the JPMorgan Credit Agreement) at or below 4.50 to 1.00 up to but excluding September 21, 2022 (with scheduled annual step downs to 4.25 to 1.00 and 4.00 to 1.00 beginning in 2022 and with step ups of 0.50 to 1.00 and 0.25 to 1.00 for the first and second quarters, respectively, after any Material Acquisition).

Tax Receivable Agreement
We expect to obtain an increase in our share of our tax basis of the assets when BRP’s LLC Units are redeemed or exchanged for shares of BRP Group’s Class A common stock. This increase in tax basis may have the effect of reducing the future amounts paid to various tax authorities. The increase in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
We entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement on October 28, 2019 (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by us to the parties to the Tax Receivable Agreement of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in BRP Group’s assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, no distributions or redemptions were made that triggered an increase in BRP Group’s tax basis.

Operating Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for operating activities are net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities, or operating working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $106,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 driven by a net increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items, offset in part by a net decrease in cash flows provided by growing receivable balances and losses in revenues from profit-sharing and fees.
Investing Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for investing activities relate to cash consideration paid for business combinations and asset acquisitions, as well as capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. Cash consideration paid for business combinations and asset acquisitions increased $3.7 million primarily as a result of the four Partnerships we completed during 2020.
Financing Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for financing activities relate to the issuance of our Class A common stock, borrowings from and repayment to our credit agreements, payment of debt issuance costs, payment of contingent and guaranteed earnout consideration, distributions and contributions, and other equity transactions. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. Net cash provided by borrowings from our Credit Agreements to fund acquisitions decreased $28.8 million primarily as a result of borrowings to fund the Lykes Insurance, Inc. Partnership during the first quarter of 2019, offset in part by drawing $20.0 million on the Revolving Credit Commitment to utilize for working capital purposes in anticipation of the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020. This decrease in cash was offset in part by cash payments of $12.5 million related to the repurchase of membership interests from members during 2019.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In preparing our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and accompanying disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances; although, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to those disclosed in the Critical Accounting Estimates section under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2020.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We have also elected to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments, if applicable.
We may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue, we have more than $700.0 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates (and we have been a public company for at least 12 months and have filed one annual report on Form 10-K) or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt securities over a three-year period.

Please refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that may impact us.
