AM Best: U.S. life/annuity industry posts 60% net income increase in 1Q 2022

Business Wire

The U.S. life/annuity industry saw its net income increase by 60% in the first three months of 2022 compared with the same prior-year period, fueled by declines in tax obligations and realized capital losses.

This financial review is detailed in a new Best’s Special Report, “First Look: Three-Month 2022 U.S. Life/Annuity Financial Results,” and the data is derived from companies’ three-month 2022 interim statutory statements that were received as of June 6, 2022, representing an estimated 91% of the total L/A industry’s net premiums written.

According to the report, the U.S. L/A total income rose 3.9% from the prior-year period, driven by a 2.7% increase in premiums and annuity considerations and an 8.6% increase in net investment income. Total expenses for the industry grew 7.8%, as increases in surrender and other benefits drove a 7.2% rise in incurred expenses.
