Enact

• Current quarter results reflected a pre-tax reserve release of $77 million primarily from favorable cure performance on early 2023 and prior delinquencies and favorable claim rate assumption updates. The prior quarter and prior year included pre-tax reserve releases of $54 million and $63 million, respectively

• Net investment income of $59 million in the current quarter was up from $50 million in the prior year from higher yields and higher average invested assets

• Primary insurance in-force increased three percent versus the prior year to $266 billion driven by new insurance written (NIW) and continued elevated persistency

• Primary NIW was down 10 percent versus the prior year. Changes in NIW are primarily impacted by the size of the mortgage insurance market and Enact’s market share

• New delinquencies increased 14 percent to 10,461 from 9,205 in the prior year primarily from the normal loss development pattern of the portfolio. New delinquencies for the quarter were more than offset by cure performance

• Enact paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share in the current quarter

• Estimated PMIERs sufficiency ratio of 169 percent, $2,057 million above requirements

Long-Term Care Insurance

• Premiums decreased versus the prior quarter primarily driven by seasonal trends and versus the prior year primarily from policy terminations and policies entering paid-up status. While legal settlements have reduced LTC tail-risk, they have accelerated the decline in renewal premiums, which also decreased the premium impact from IFAs versus the prior quarter

• Net investment income increased, driven by favorable limited partnership income and TIPS income

• Current quarter liability remeasurement loss included unfavorable actual to expected experience from lower terminations and higher benefit utilization, partially offset by favorable cash flow assumption updates related to the implementation timing and approval amounts of certain IFAs

• Current quarter included a $24 million pre-tax benefit from net insurance recoveries

Life and Annuities

Life Insurance

• Current quarter results reflected mortality experience that was favorable versus the prior quarter but unfavorable versus the prior year

• Premiums and deferred acquisition costs amortization were lower versus the prior year primarily driven by block runoff

Annuities

• Fixed annuities results reflected favorable mortality, but lower net spread income primarily from block runoff

• Variable annuities results included favorable mortality

U.S. Life Insurance Companies⁹ Statutory Results and RBC

• Statutory pre-tax income was $171 million in the current quarter:

  • LTC continued to benefit from premium increases and benefit reductions from IFAs and legal settlements, as well as a benefit from net insurance recoveries

  • Life insurance results included favorable seasonal impacts versus the prior quarter

  • Fixed annuities results reflected favorable mortality, but lower net spread income primarily from block runoff

  • Variable annuity results included a benefit from the impact of interest rate performance

• Current quarter GLIC consolidated RBC ratio was 319 percent, up from the prior quarter driven by strong statutory income

Corporate and Other

• The current quarter adjusted operating loss was $10 million, down from $38 million in the prior quarter and $20 million in the prior year primarily driven by timing of tax related items

Holding Company Cash and Liquid Assets

• Cash and liquid assets of $281 million in the quarter, including $95 million of advance cash payments from the company’s subsidiaries held for future obligations

• Cash inflows during the current quarter consisted of $63 million from Enact capital returns and $52 million from intercompany tax payments held for future obligations

• Current quarter cash outflows included $36 million in share repurchases, $19 million related to debt servicing costs and the repurchase of $12 million principal of the company’s subordinated notes at a discount

Returns to Shareholders

• In the second quarter of 2024, the company repurchased $36 million of its common stock at an average price of $6.29 per share leaving 434 million shares outstanding at the end of the quarter

• Executed $470 million in share repurchases program-to-date at an average price of $5.47 per share

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures entitled "adjusted operating income (loss)" and "adjusted operating income (loss) per share" to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Adjusted operating income (loss) per share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss). The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. A component of the company’s net investment gains (losses) is the result of estimated future credit losses, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to the company’s discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. The company excludes net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating performance.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, the company believes that adjusted operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), including adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses adjusted operating income (loss), among other key performance indicators, as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 21 percent tax rate and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges are adjusted to exclude changes in reserves, attributed fees and benefit payments.

The tables at the end of this press release provide a reconciliation of net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.'s common stockholders to adjusted operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as the three months ended March 31, 2024 and reflect adjusted operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting.

Statutory Accounting Data
The company presents certain supplemental statutory data for GLIC and its consolidating life insurance subsidiaries that has been prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles (SAP). GLIC and its consolidating life insurance subsidiaries file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that are prepared using SAP, an accounting basis either prescribed or permitted by such authorities. Due to differences in methodology between SAP and GAAP, the values for assets, liabilities and equity, and the recognition of income and expenses, reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are materially different from those reflected in financial statements prepared under SAP. This supplemental statutory data should not be viewed as an alternative to, or used in lieu of, GAAP.

This supplemental statutory data includes the company action level RBC ratio for GLIC and its consolidating life insurance subsidiaries as well as combined statutory pre-tax earnings from the principal U.S. life insurance companies, GLIC, GLAIC and GLICNY. Statutory pre-tax earnings represent the net gain from operations, including the impact from in-force rate actions, before dividends to policyholders, refunds to members and federal income taxes and before realized capital gains or (losses). The combined product level statutory pre-tax earnings are grouped on a consistent basis as those provided on page six of the statutory Annual Statements. Management uses and provides this supplemental statutory data because it believes it provides a useful measure of, among other things, statutory pre-tax earnings and the adequacy of capital. Management uses this data to measure against its policy to manage the U.S. life insurance companies with internally generated capital.

• the inability to successfully launch new lines of business, including long-term care insurance and other products and services the company is pursuing with CareScout;

• the company’s failure to maintain self-sustainability of its legacy life insurance subsidiaries, including as a result of the inability to achieve desired levels of in-force rate actions and/or the timing of its future premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions taking longer to achieve than originally assumed; other regulatory actions negatively impacting the company’s life insurance businesses;

• inaccuracies or changes in estimates, assumptions, methodologies, valuations, projections and/or models, which result in inadequate reserves or other adverse results (including as a result of any changes in connection with quarterly, annual or other reviews);

• changes in economic, market and political conditions including as a result of elevated inflation, labor shortages and elevated interest rates, which could heighten the risk of a future recession; unanticipated financial events, which could lead to market-wide liquidity problems and other significant market disruption resulting in losses, defaults or credit rating downgrades of other financial institutions; deterioration in economic conditions, a recession or a decline in home prices, all of which could be driven by many potential factors; political and economic instability or changes in government policies, including U.S. federal tax laws or rates, and at regulatory agencies as a result of any change in administration due to the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, and fluctuations in international securities markets;

• downgrades in financial strength and credit ratings and potential adverse impacts to liquidity; counterparty credit risks; defaults by counterparties to reinsurance arrangements or derivative instruments; defaults or other events impacting the value of invested assets;

• changes in tax rates or tax laws, or changes in accounting and reporting standards;

• litigation and regulatory investigations or other actions, including commercial and contractual disputes with counterparties;

• the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, including geopolitical tensions and war (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict), a public health emergency, including pandemics, or climate change;

• the inability to effectively manage information technology systems (including artificial intelligence), cyber incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches of the company or its third-party vendors, as well as unknown risks and uncertainties associated with artificial intelligence;

• the inability of third-party vendors to meet their obligations to the company;

• the lack of availability, affordability or adequacy of reinsurance to protect the company against losses;

• a decrease in the volume of high loan-to-value home mortgage originations or an increase in the volume of mortgage insurance cancellations;

• unanticipated claims against Enact Holdings’ delegated underwriting program;

• the impact of medical advances such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, emerging new technology, including artificial intelligence and related legislation; and

• other factors described in the risk factors contained in Item 1A of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024.

The company provides additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the company cautions the reader against relying on any forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
