Revenues for the quarter of $286.6 million, an increase of 27.9% from 2020. Year-to-date revenues of $881.0 million, an increase of 59.3%, driven by growth in insurance, mortgage and shipping operations and investment gains in 2021 compared to losses in 2020. Excluding the impact from investment gains and losses, year-to-date revenues increased 33.7% versus prior year.

Net income for the quarter was $2.0 million, a decrease from $12.8 million in 2020 driven by mark to market unrealized losses in our equity position in Invesque. Year-to-date net income of $38.6 million, up significantly from a net loss in the prior year, represented an annualized ROAE of 14.8%.

Adjusted net income of $20.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 16.4% from prior year. Year-to-date adjusted net income of $47.0 million, an increase of 33.4%, driven by improvement in insurance, mortgage and shipping operations. Year-to-date annualized Adjusted ROAE of 16.2%, compared to 12.2% in the prior year period.

On October 12, 2021, Tiptree announced a $200 million investment in Fortegra from Warburg Pincus, which upon closing will result in an approximate 24% ownership of the business on an as converted basis.

On November 2, 2021, the Board appointed Randy Maultsby as the seventh member of the Tiptree Board of Directors.

Declared a dividend of $0.04 per share to stockholders of record on November 22, 2021 with a payment date of November 29, 2021.

Tiptree Inc. (NASDAQ:TIPT) ("Tiptree" or the "Company"), today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

"Our performance in the third quarter reflects the strength and diversification of our underlying operating businesses," said Tiptree Executive Chairman, Michael Barnes. "Fortegra's revenues have grown 50% this year and with our recently announced strategic partnership, we believe Fortegra will continue to produce best-in-class growth and returns over the long-term."

Barnes added, "Our mortgage and shipping businesses also reported excellent results in the quarter, benefiting from favorable market conditions. Looking ahead, our businesses are well-positioned to drive continued growth in value for shareholders."

The table below provides a break down between net realized and unrealized gains and losses from Invesque and other securities which impacted our consolidated results on a pre-tax basis. Many of our investments are carried at fair value and marked to market through unrealized gains and losses. As a result, we expect our earnings relating to these investments to be relatively volatile between periods. Our fixed income securities are primarily marked to market through AOCI in stockholders' equity and do not impact net realized and unrealized gains and losses until they are sold.

Non-GAAP

Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity as measurements of operating performance. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and comparison among companies. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted net income represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for a reconciliation of these measures to their GAAP equivalents.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity

The Company defines Adjusted net income as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. We use adjusted net income as an internal operating performance measure in the management of business as part of our capital allocation process. We believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance between periods and for comparison among companies. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

We define Adjusted return on average equity as Adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholder's equity during the period. We use Adjusted return on average equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted return on average equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on average equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on average equity differently.
