Material Changes vs. Prior Comparable Period
- Revenue: Total revenues increased 3% ($55 million) for the quarter compared to the prior year, driven by a 50% increase in net investment gains ($99 million vs. $66 million). Premiums increased slightly by 1%.
- Profitability: Net income available to common stockholders increased 36% to $116 million for the quarter, compared to $85 million in the prior year. This was largely driven by a $27 million tax benefit from a valuation allowance release and higher investment gains.
- Segment Performance:
- Enact: Adjusted operating income decreased 9% to $134 million due to lower reserve releases and higher new delinquencies, partially offset by higher investment income.
- Long-Term Care: Adjusted operating loss widened to $100 million (from $46 million loss) due to unfavorable cash flow assumption updates and aging of the in-force block.
- Life and Annuities: Adjusted operating loss improved to $4 million (from $27 million loss) primarily due to favorable mortality experience.
- Investments: Net investment income increased 3% for the quarter. Net investment gains rose significantly due to favorable private and public equity market performance and gains on foreign currency forward contracts.

Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Valuation Allowance Release: Verify the sustainability of the $27 million tax benefit recognized in Q3 2025 related to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

- Enact Delinquency Trends: Track the trend of new primary delinquencies and cure rates in the Enact segment, as these directly drive reserve releases and loss ratios.
- AXA Litigation Outcome: Assess the final resolution of the Santander appeal, as it impacts the potential $750 million recovery and the status of the £80 million guarantee.
- Share Repurchase Execution: Confirm the pace of share repurchases under the new $350 million authorization and its impact on diluted share count.
