Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 3% to $3,678 million compared to $3,582 million in the prior year period, driven by a 4% increase in net investment income and a 2% increase in premiums.
- Profitability Decline: Net income available to common stockholders decreased 10% to $94 million from $105 million in the prior year. This was primarily due to higher liability remeasurement losses in the Closed Block segment.
- Investment Performance: Net investment gains (losses) improved significantly to a gain of $11 million from a loss of $1 million in the prior year, largely due to favorable equity market performance and reduced credit loss provisions.
- Segment Performance:
- Enact: Adjusted operating income increased 2% to $283 million, supported by favorable cure performance and reserve releases of $76 million.
- Closed Block: Adjusted operating loss widened to $142 million (from $107 million) due to unfavorable actual variances from expected experience in long-term care insurance (lower terminations, higher claims).
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Capital Returns: Enact Holdings expects to return $550 million to $600 million of capital to shareholders for the full year 2026. Genworth Financial expects to receive approximately $445 million to $485 million of this amount.
