Consolidated GAAP Financial Highlights

• Net income in the quarter was driven by Enact, which had strong operating performance
• Net investment losses, net of taxes, decreased net income by $22 million in the current quarter, compared with net investment gains of $21 million in the prior quarter and net investment losses of $48 million in the prior year. The investment losses in the current quarter were driven primarily by derivatives and an increase in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities and limited partnerships
• Changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges, net of taxes, increased net income by $8 million in the quarter driven primarily by favorable equity market impacts, compared with a decrease of $14 million in the prior quarter and an increase of $6 million in the prior year
• Net investment income, net of taxes, was $634 million in the quarter, up from $584 million in the prior quarter driven by higher income from limited partnerships, and down from $638 million in the prior year from lower income from policy loans offsetting higher income from limited partnerships

Enact

• Current quarter results reflected a pre-tax reserve release of $48 million from favorable cure performance and loss mitigation activities. The prior quarter and prior year included pre-tax reserve releases of $47 million and $77 million, respectively
• Net investment income of $66 million in the current quarter was up from $59 million in the prior year from higher yields and higher average invested assets
• Primary insurance in-force increased 1% versus the prior year to $269.8 billion driven by new insurance written (NIW) and continued elevated persistency
• Primary NIW was up 35% from the prior quarter primarily from seasonality in the purchase origination market and modestly down from the prior year

• Enact paid a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share in the current quarter
• Estimated PMIERs sufficiency ratio of 165%, $1,961 million above requirements

Long-Term Care Insurance

• Premiums increased primarily driven by IFAs, partially offset by policy terminations
• Net investment income increased due to higher income from limited partnerships
• Current quarter liability remeasurement loss included unfavorable actual variances from expected experience primarily from lower terminations and higher benefit utilization, partially offset by a $26 million pre-tax gain from a third-party reinsurance recapture of a block of LTC policies previously assumed by Genworth
• Prior quarter liability remeasurement gain included favorable actual variances from expected experience primarily from seasonally high mortality
• Prior year included a pre-tax benefit from net insurance recoveries of $24 million and favorable cash flow assumption updates

Life and Annuities

Life Insurance

• Current quarter results reflected mortality experience that was favorable versus the prior quarter but unfavorable versus the prior year
• Prior year results reflected the unfavorable impact of a legal settlement accrual

Annuities

• Results in the current quarter included unfavorable mortality and lower net spread income from block runoff compared to prior year

U.S. Life Insurance Companies¹⁰ Statutory Results⁶ and RBC⁶

• Statutory pre-tax income was $81 million in the current quarter
  • LTC continued to benefit from premium increases and benefit reductions from IFAs, though lower than the prior year as the Choice II legal settlement is complete. Current quarter results reflected seasonally lower mortality than the prior quarter, partially offset by higher limited partnership distributions and a pre-tax gain of $11 million from a third-party reinsurance recapture. The prior year included a benefit from net insurance recoveries
  • Life insurance results included favorable seasonal impacts versus the prior quarter
  • Annuity results reflected a net favorable impact of $79 million pre-tax from equity market and interest rate performance in the variable annuity products compared to $23 million in the prior year and a net unfavorable impact of $26 million in the prior quarter
• Current quarter estimated GLIC consolidated RBC ratio was 304%, driven by strong earnings which offset higher required capital as the limited partnership portfolio grows

Corporate and Other

• The current quarter adjusted operating loss was $29 million, up from $10 million in the prior year primarily driven by timing of favorable tax-related items of $15 million in the prior year

Holding Company Cash and Liquid Assets

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on a non-GAAP financial measure entitled "adjusted operating income (loss)." Management evaluates adjusted operating income (loss) as a key measure to assess performance and support new business initiatives because the measure more accurately reflects overall operating performance, as it minimizes the impact of macroeconomic volatility. The company’s legacy U.S. life insurance subsidiaries, which comprise the Long-Term Care Insurance and Life and Annuities segments, are managed on a standalone basis; therefore, the company does not allocate capital to its Long-Term Care Insurance and Life and Annuities segments.

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 attributable to interest rates, equity markets 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 attributable to interest rates, equity markets 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), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) 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% 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, 2025 and 2024, as well as the three months ended March 31, 2025 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.
