RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today reported results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

“Genworth delivered strong results in 2025 as we continued to execute against our strategic priorities,” said Tom McInerney, President & CEO. “We took major steps to advance CareScout’s strategy, with nationwide expansion of the CareScout Quality Network, the launch of Care Plans, our new innovative consumer-facing solution, along with the launch and continued buildout of our CareScout insurance offerings. With Enact as a durable source of cash flows, a growing and increasingly integrated CareScout platform, and disciplined management of our legacy insurance businesses, we are delivering long-term value for shareholders while supporting millions of families navigating the aging journey.”

Consolidated GAAP Financial Highlights

• Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company changed its reportable segments to better align with how it currently manages the business. Under the new reporting structure, the company operates its business through the following two reportable segments: Enact, comprised primarily of private mortgage insurance products, and Closed Block, comprised of long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products that were previously sold under the legacy insurance companies. Financial information has been updated for all periods

• Net income was driven by Enact, which had strong operating performance

• Net investment income, net of taxes, was $620 million in the quarter, down from $631 million in the prior quarter and $626 million in the prior year primarily from lower income from limited partnerships

• Net investment losses, net of taxes, decreased net income by $31 million in the quarter, compared with net investment gains of $78 million in the prior quarter and net investment losses of $32 million in the prior year. The investment losses in the current quarter were driven primarily by net trading losses and mark-to-market adjustments on limited partnerships

Enact

• Results included a pre-tax net reserve release of $60 million reflecting favorable cure performance and the lowering of claim rate expectations. The prior quarter and prior year included pre-tax reserve releases of $45 million and $56 million, respectively

• Pre-tax net investment income of $69 million was up from $62 million in the prior year from higher yields and higher invested assets

• Primary insurance in-force increased 2% versus the prior year to $273.1 billion driven by new insurance written (NIW) and continued elevated persistency

• Primary NIW was up 2% from the prior quarter and 8% from the prior year

• In February 2026, Enact announced a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $500 million of common stock

• Enact announced an excess of loss reinsurance agreement covering the 2027 book year

• Enact paid a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share

• Estimated PMIERs sufficiency ratio of 162%, $1,919 million above requirements

Closed Block

Long-term care insurance

• Current quarter loss included unfavorable A/E¹⁵ of $124 million pre-tax primarily from higher claims and lower terminations and an unfavorable impact from assumption updates of $47 million pre-tax

• Unfavorable assumption updates in the current quarter were primarily related to benefit utilization and healthy life mortality and incidence updates that align with near-term experience, largely offset by updates reflecting favorable approval experience and benefit reductions and claim termination rates

• Prior quarter loss included unfavorable A/E of $107 million pre-tax primarily from lower terminations and higher benefit utilization

• Prior year loss included unfavorable A/E of $97 million pre-tax primarily from lower terminations and higher claims and an unfavorable impact from assumption updates of $20 million pre-tax

Life insurance

• Current quarter income reflects favorable interest rate assumption updates of $15 million pre-tax

• Prior year included a net favorable impact of $30 million pre-tax from a model refinement and assumption updates

Annuities

• Current quarter income reflects favorable impact from annual assumption updates of $25 million pre-tax primarily related to mortality compared to unfavorable updates of $18 million pre-tax in the prior year

Corporate and Other

• The current quarter adjusted operating loss was $24 million, up from $21 million in the prior quarter and $23 million in the prior year primarily driven by continued investment in CareScout and debt service, partially offset by favorable tax-related items

Legacy Insurance Companies¹⁰ Statutory Results⁸ and RBC Ratio⁸

• Statutory pre-tax income was $71 million in 2025, with $3 million in the current quarter
  • LTC continued to benefit from premium increases and benefit reductions from IFAs. Results reflected higher claims and lower reserve releases from in-force rate actions, largely offset by higher income from limited partnerships than the prior quarter. The current quarter included an unfavorable $12 million pre-tax impact from assumption updates; prior year included a $79 million increase in cash flow testing reserves in GLICNY, partially offset by a net $20 million pre-tax benefit from assumption updates

  • Life insurance results included a net benefit from assumption updates of $51 million compared to $75 million in the prior year and favorable reserve changes from block runoff

  • Annuity results reflected favorable net equity market and interest rate impacts and unfavorable assumption updates, though lower than the prior year

• Current quarter estimated GLIC consolidated RBC ratio was 300%, down from the prior year driven by higher required capital as the limited partnership portfolio grows, partially offset by statutory earnings in the year.

Holding Company Cash and Liquid Assets

• Cash and liquid assets were $234 million at the end of the current quarter, which included approximately $127 million of cash held for future obligations, including advance cash payments from the company’s subsidiaries

• Cash inflows during the current quarter included $127 million from Enact capital returns

• Current quarter cash outflows included $96 million¹⁸ in share repurchases, $22 million in net tax payments, $18 million related to debt servicing costs and the repurchase of $7 million in principal of holding company debt at a discount

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. GLIC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the Closed Block segment, are managed on a standalone basis; therefore, the company does not allocate capital to its Closed Block segment.

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% current tax rate, plus any associated deferred taxes, 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 table at the end of this press release provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the three months ended September 30, 2025 and reflects 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 legacy 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 legacy insurance companies with internally generated capital.

• 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);
