1.Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), has a third fiscal quarter that ends on the 31st of December for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a third quarter that ends on the 30 th of September for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies' financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the presentation of financial position or results of operations. We disclose material events, if any, occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries' years 2020 and 2019 correspond to fiscal 2021 and 2020 for AMERCO.

Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated into U.S. dollars.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 are unaudited.

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Description of Legal Entities

AMERCO is the holding company for:

U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”);

Amerco Real Estate Company (“Real Estate”);

Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”).

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to AMERCO and all of its legal subsidiaries.

Description of Operating Segments

AMERCO has three ( 3 ) reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage, Property and Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance.

Summary of Significant Accounting Polices

 

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 for a summary of significant accounting policies. At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 , Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology 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. In addition, new disclosures are required. The new standard requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. It also limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. We modified our policy on accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and assess each customer's credit worthiness. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon applying an expected credit loss rate to receivables based on the historical loss rate from similar high risk customers adjusted for current conditions, including any specific customer collection issues identified, and forecasts of economic conditions. Delinquent account balances are written off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $2.9 million and did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Please see Note 16, Allowance for Credit Losses, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Earnings per Share

Our earnings per share is calculated by dividing our earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted.

The weighted average common shares outstanding exclude post-1992 shares of the employee stock ownership plan that have not been committed to be released. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of these shares have been released.

3. Investments

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

We deposit bonds with insurance regulatory authorities to meet statutory requirements. The adjusted cost of bonds on deposit with insurance regulatory authorities was $ 32.4 million and $ 30.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

We sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $ 327.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $ 6.6 million. The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $ 1.5 million.

We adopted ASU 2016-13 as of April 1, 2020. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether the security is below investment grade. For securities that are below investment grade, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors such as the interest rate environment. Declines in value due to credit are recognized as an allowance. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse market conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, cumulative default rates based on ratings are used to determine the potential cost of default, by year. The present value of these potential costs is then compared to the amortized cost of the security to determine the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.

10

 


amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. If we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the write down is charged against the allowance for credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. Reversals of the allowance for credit losses are permitted and should not exceed the allowance amount initially recognized.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. There were no incremental impairment charges recorded during the first nine months as of December 31, 2020.

Real Estate Backed Loans

Real Estate Loan

Real Estate and certain of its subsidiaries and U-Haul Company of Florida are borrowers under a real estate loan (the “Real Estate Loan”).   The Real Estate Loan requires monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The Real Estate Loan is secured by various properties owned by the borrowers.  

The interest rate, per the provisions of the amended loan agreement, is the applicable London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.15 % and the applicable margin was 1.50 %, the sum of which was 1.65 %. The default provisions of the Real Estate Loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

Senior Mortgages

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul are borrowers under certain senior mortgages. The senior mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments. The senior mortgages are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The fixed interest rates, per the provisions of the senior mortgages, range between 2.80 % and 6.62 %. The weighted average interest rate of these loans as of December 31, 2020 was 4.28 %.   Certain senior mortgages have an anticipated repayment date and a maturity date. If these senior mortgages are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on these mortgages would increase from the current fixed rate. We are using the anticipated repayment date for our maturity schedule. Real Estate and U-Haul have provided limited guarantees of the senior mortgages. The default provisions of the senior mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

Real Estate Loans (Revolving Credit)

Various subsidiaries of Real Estate are borrowers under asset-backed real estate loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 385.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of these loans in the aggregate was $ 385.0 million. These loans are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The loan agreements provide for term loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreements. The loans require monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The interest rate, per the provision of the loan agreements, is the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.15 % and the margin was between 1.25 % and 1.50 %, the sum of which was between 1.40 % and 1.65 %. Certain loans have interest rate swaps fixing the rate between 3.03 % and 3.14 % based on current margins. AMERCO is the guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

AMERCO is a borrower under a real estate loan. The current maximum credit commitment is $ 200.0 million, which can be increased to $ 300.0 million by bringing in other lenders. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance was $ 150.0 million. This loan agreement provides for revolving loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreement. This loan requires monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. As of December 31, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 1.00 % and the margin was 2.25 %, the sum of which was 3.25 %. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There is a 0.30 % fee charged for unused capacity.

Fleet Loans

Rental Truck Amortizing Loans

The amortizing loans require monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans were used to purchase new trucks. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are carried at fixed rates ranging between 2.04 % and 4.66 %.

AMERCO, and in some cases U-Haul, is guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of these loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

Rental Truck Revolvers

Various subsidiaries of U-Haul entered into three revolving fleet loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 590.0 million. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin. As of December 31, 2020, the applicable LIBOR was 0.15 % and the margin was 1.15 %, the sum of which was 1.30 %. Only interest is paid on the loans until the last nine months of the respective loan terms when principal becomes due monthly.

Finance/Capital Leases

The Finance/Capital Lease balance represents our sale-leaseback transactions of rental equipment that were entered into and classified as capital leases prior to the adoption of ASC 842. The historical capital lease balance was reclassified to Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets-finance, net. The agreements are generally seven (7) year terms with interest rates ranging from 1.92 % to 5.04 %.   All of our finance leases are collateralized by our rental fleet. There were no new financing leases, as assessed under the new leasing guidance, entered into during the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

Finance Liabilities

Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions that have historically been accounted for as capital leases prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 which substantially changed the accounting for sale-leasebacks going forward. In accordance with the new leasing guidance, we assess if sale-leaseback transactions qualify as a sale at initiation by determining if a transfer of ownership occurs.   We have determined that our equipment sale-leasebacks do not qualify as a sale, as the buyer-lessors do not obtain control of the assets in our ongoing sale-leaseback arrangements. As a result, we expect future sale-leasebacks to be accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets will be capitalized at cost.     Our finance liabilities have an average term of seven (7) years and interest rates ranging from 1.60 % to 4.22 %. These finance liabilities are collateralized by our rental fleet.  

Other Obligations

In May 2020, AMERCO, entered into a $ 200.0 million secured credit facility with PNC Bank, as agent and lead arranger of a syndicate of lenders.   The interest rate, per the provision of the loan agreement, was the applicable LIBOR plus the applicable margin.   This loan was paid off in October 2020.

In February 2011, AMERCO and U.S. Bank, NA (the “Trustee”) entered into the U-Haul Investors Club ® Indenture.   AMERCO and the Trustee entered into this indenture to provide for the issuance of notes by us directly to investors over our proprietary website, uhaulinvestorsclub.com (“U-Notes ® ”). The U-Notes ® are secured by various types of collateral, including, but not limited to, rental equipment and real estate.   U-Notes ® are issued in smaller series that vary as to principal amount, interest rate and maturity.   U-Notes ® are obligations of the Company and secured by the associated collateral; they are not guaranteed by any of the Company's affiliates or subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes ® issued was $ 87.4 million, of which $ 2.5 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation. Interest rates range between 2.50 % and 8.00 % and maturity dates range between 2021 and 2049 .

Oxford is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and, as such, the FHLB has made deposits with Oxford. As of September 30, 2020, the deposits had an aggregate balance of $ 76.5 million, for which Oxford pays fixed interest rates between 0.00 % and 2.67 % with maturities between December 8, 2020 and September 29, 2025. As of September 30, 2020, available-for-sale investments held with the FHLB totaled $ 174.4 million, of which $ 85.1 million were pledged as collateral to secure the outstanding deposits. The balances of these deposits are included within Liabilities from investment contracts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5. Derivatives

We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rates with the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt and a variable rate operating lease. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.   These fair values are determined using pricing valuation models which include broker quotes for which significant inputs are observable. They include adjustments for counterparty credit quality and other deal-specific factors, where appropriate and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The derivative fair values reflected in prepaid expense and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we reclassified $ 2.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to interest expense. As of December 31, 2020, we expect to reclassify $ 3.8 million of net gains on interest rate contracts from AOCI to earnings as interest expense over the next twelve months.

8. Leases

Lessor

We have determined that revenues derived by providing self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage rentals and certain other revenues, including U-Box rentals, are within the scope of the accounting guidance contained in Topic 842. Our self-moving equipment rental related revenues have been accounted for under the revenue accounting standard Topic 606, until the adoption of Topic 842.

For the periods after April 1, 2019, we combined all lease and non-lease components of lease contracts for which the timing and pattern of transfer are the same and the lease component meets the classification of an operating lease, and account for them in accordance with Topic 842. The revenue streams accounted for in accordance with Topic 842 are recognized evenly over the period of rental. Please see Note 15, Revenue Recognition, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lessee

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, which are comprised primarily of storage rental locations, are included in ROU assets - operating and operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases, which are comprised primarily of rental equipment leases, are included in ROU assets - financing, net, and notes, loans and finance/capital leases payable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

17

 


amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date including the rate for a fully collateralized loan that can either be fully amortized or financed with a residual at the end of the lease term, for a borrower with similar credit quality in order to determine the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the calculation of ROU assets when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately. Additionally, for certain leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities as the leases are similar in nature and have nearly identical contract provisions.

The standard also changed the manner by which we account for our equipment sale/leaseback transactions.   Based on our assessment, the lease transactions are classified as financing leases, and therefore the transactions do not qualify as a sale.   New sale leaseback transactions that fail to qualify as a sale are accounted for as a financial liability.   Please see Note 4, Borrowings, of the Notes to Condendsed Consolidated Finanical Statements for additional information.

9. Contingencies

COVID-19

In late 2019, COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures along with the threat the virus poses have adversely affected workforces, customers, consumer sentiment, economies and financial markets.

During the nine months of fiscal 2021, the Company has been impacted by the spread of COVID-19. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's business, operations and financial results will continue to evolve in ways that the Company is not fully able to predict at this time. We have experienced customer initiated changes in behavior, actions by government entities, concerns from our workforce, and reactions from the capital markets.

Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of COVID-19 at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of future operations, financial position and liquidity in fiscal 2021 and beyond.

CARES Act

The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We have availed ourselves of the provisions related to deferring certain payroll taxes, carrybacks of net operating losses, and will utilize the technical corrections to tax depreciation methods. We estimate that the net operating loss carrybacks combined with the depreciation adjustments for our fiscal 2020 federal income tax return will result in a refund of approximately $ 381 million, which are reflected in Prepaid expense. As refunds are received, they will reduce this amount. We have estimated and recorded the overall effects of the CARES Act and do not anticipate a material change. It is possible future legislation could reduce or delay our ability to carryback these losses.

Environmental

Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments may significantly affect Real Estate's business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the air, land and water and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Since 1988, Real Estate has managed a testing and removal program for underground storage tanks.

Based upon the information currently available to Real Estate, compliance with the environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to result in a material adverse effect on AMERCO's financial position or results of operations.

Other

We are named as a defendant in various litigation and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In management's opinion, none of these other matters will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

10. Related Party Transactions

As set forth in the Company's Audit Committee Charter and consistent with NASDAQ Listing Rules, our Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and maintains oversight over related party transactions, which are required to be disclosed under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, all such related party transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for ongoing review and oversight. Our internal processes are designed to ensure that our legal and finance departments identify and monitor potential related party transactions that may require disclosure and Audit Committee oversight.

AMERCO has engaged in related party transactions and has continuing related party interests with certain major stockholders, directors and officers of the consolidated group as disclosed below.

SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding II Corporation (collectively “SAC Holdings”) were established in order to acquire and develop self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by us pursuant to management agreements. SAC Holdings, Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Five SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Galaxy Investments, L.P. and 2015 SAC self-storage are substantially controlled by Blackwater Investments, Inc. (“Blackwater”). Blackwater is wholly owned by Willow Grove Holdings LP (“WGHLP”), which is owned by Mark V. Shoen (a significant stockholder), and various trusts associated with Edward J. Shoen (our Chairman of the Board, President and a significant stockholder) and Mark V. Shoen.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements - (continued)

These agreements with subsidiaries of Blackwater, excluding Dealer Agreements, provided revenues of $ 19.1 million, expenses of $ 2.0 million and cash flows of $ 17.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $ 252.6 million and $ 54.0 million, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

In June 2020, we purchased an airplane from SAC Holdings for $ 0.4 million.

In December 2020, AMERCO contributed $12.0 million to Oxford in the form of a surplus note with an interest rate of 4.0%. This note will be repaid to AMERCO with interest over the next seven years.

Management determined that we do not have a variable interest pursuant to the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model under ASC 810 - Consolidation (“ASC 810”) in the holding entities of Blackwater based upon management agreements which are with the individual operating entities; therefore, we are precluded from consolidating these entities.
