What Are Non-admitted Assets?

The term Non admitted assets is not used in most business discussions. However, suppose you are in the insurance industry. In that case, you know this financial term represents a possible major problem for the firm in maintaining its current credit rating.

To make it simple, most large companies that use standard accounting practices in their reporting equipment are assets on their books. Therefore, equipment like computers, workstations, cubicles, software, lighting, copy machines, shredders, proprietary systems, and enterprise-level software applications are all shown as assets on the company balance sheet and depreciated according to preset schedules.

Insurance companies must maintain a heightened level of liquidity at all times. Their cash positions and assets can be liquidated to hedge against large losses from natural disasters where policyholders incur significant losses. State Insurance Regulators classify these as non-admitted assets as they cannot be easily converted to cash.

If the insurance company has sufficient cash on hand to meet or exceed any loss ratios, there is no problem. If there is insufficient cash on hand, Equipment Leases steps in to buy all or some of their non admitted assets and leases them back to the carrier in a complex Sales-Leaseback transaction.

Insurance Company Equipment Leasing

We have had our share of major weather-related disasters in the U.S. this year, such as wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, and hurricanes. During natural disasters any loss of life or property causes increases in claims. These disasters bring with them a significant number of claims for large losses.

In each state, all insurance-related oversight is provided by that’s state’s appointed Insurance regulator. They are responsible for scrutinizing each insurance company in their state. This is to ensure they are in NAIC compliance. That their surplus and reserve ratios are in line. Non-compliance and the insurance company is at risk of a lowering of their credit rating at AM best. The top monitoring agency ranking the fiscal health of the insurer. The financial markets make investment and credit decisions based on this rating. So it becomes critical for an insurance company to maintain the highest rating possible. To avoid a rating reduction the insurer has some options, including equipment leasing.
