Nonadmitted Assets for Insurance Companies’ Financing

What Are Non-admitted Assets?

Most large companies using standard accounting practices report equipment as assets. Non-admitted assets are generally illiquid equipment like:
  • computers
  • workstations
  • cubicles
  • software
  • lighting
  • copy machines
  • shredders
  • proprietary systems

These are assets on the company balance sheet and depreciated according to preset schedules. Insurance companies must always maintain a high liquidity levels. They can liquidate cash and assets to cover large losses, like natural disasters, that impact policyholders. State Insurance Regulators classify these as non-admitted assets as they can’t easily convert to cash. If an insurance company has enough cash to cover loss ratios, there is no issue. Otherwise, Equipment Leases buys all or some assets and leases them back in a complex Sales-Leaseback transaction.

Insurance Company Equipment Financing and Leasing

Major natural disasters cause an increase in claims for large losses.

Each state has a regulator who monitors insurance companies to ensure they have NAIC compliance. Regulators check if insurers have enough reserves to cover claims. They also ensure surplus ratios meet required levels.

AM Best ranks an insurer’s financial health. A lower rating can affect the insurer’s ability to attract investments or borrow money. To avoid a lowered rating, insurers have options like insurance company equipment financing and leasing.
