Aug. 15--PANAMA CITY -- Federal government agencies need to be more nimble when helping people and businesses recover from natural disasters like last year's Hurricane Michael, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio was told at a Wednesday hearing he convened at Gulf Coast State College.

Hurricane Michael, a Category 5 storm, made landfall near Panama City on the afternoon of Oct. 10, 2018, and devastated much of the eastern Panhandle. The storm all but destroyed Tyndall Air Force Base, a major economic engine for the area.

Rubio set up the hearing as chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and heard from a four-member panel comprised of Michael Myrhe, CEO of the Florida Small Business Development Center Network; Col. Brian Laidlaw, commander of the 325th Fighter Wing, Tyndall's host unit; Aaron Rich, owner of Aaron Rich Marketing, a small Panama City business, and Allan Bense, co-chairman of Rebuild 850, formed after the storm to provide ongoing hurricane recovery assistance.

Supplemental federal disaster assistance was slow in coming to the area after Michael because of congressional wrangling over immigration issues. The $19 billion package, some of which went to other areas of the country dealing with hurricane damage, was not approved until May.

At Tuesday's hearing, attended by a few dozen people including Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki and City Manager Mark McQueen, Rubio decried the delay.

"I wish Congress had risen above partisan politics and the games that are often played up there," Rubio said. "There was no one who could question at the time there was an immediate need for the federal government to assist our communities. ... Sadly, Northwest Florida and many survivors here became pawns in a shameful political game ... ."

Rich also was frustrated, by what he told Rubio was a lagging response to his ultimately successful application for a Small Business Administration loan. He sought the loan after his downtown Panama City office, which he had finished renovating just days before the hurricane, was severely damaged by the storm.

Rich wondered why, instead of getting his loan in a single lump sum, he received it in two installments, the last of which wasn't available until March. He also told Rubio that applying for the loan was difficult in terms of trying to gather the information and send paperwork in the midst of storm recovery.

"I had to make it the priority of my life," Rich said. Nonetheless, he called the loan initiative "a good program. It just is time-consuming."

Myhre's Florida Small Business Development Center Network in Pensacola set up 10 business assistance centers in 10 days across the area ravaged by Michael and dispatched two mobile assistance centers. He had a more general criticism of federal personnel working in the area in the aftermath of the storm, suggesting that they relied too much on canned responses rather than truly listening to people's needs.

"There's horror stories out there" with regard to the SBA's work in hurricane-ravaged areas, Myhre said. "This is a key reason why many people don't go to the SBA and seek disaster assistance," he said.

Bense offered Rubio a suggestion, particularly for federal Department of Housing and Urban Development working on storm relief issues. "You've got to give your HUD folks a little bit of leeway to make quicker and better decisions," he said. "There are folks out there who are hurting."

There was, though, some good news at the hearing about Tyndall. Laidlaw said 73 percent of the military and civilian personnel who had been at Tyndall before Hurricane Michael are back at work in recently repaired facilities such as the control tower and in other temporary facilities. If personnel relocated to nearby Eglin Air Force Base after the storm are included, 85 percent of Tyndall's pre-hurricane civilian and military personnel are back at work, he added. At full strength, 23,000 airmen and civilians are assigned to the base.

"The strong relationship between Tyndall and the community has only grown stronger in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael," Laidlaw told Rubio. "With exception of our F-22 (fighter jet) and T-38 (jet trainer) flying operations -- much of which we're now conducting out of Eglin, and our Non-Commisioned Officer Academy, which we plan to stand up sometime next year, we have fully resumed all of our missions at Tyndall."

In recent years, Laidlaw added, Tyndall has had a $600 million impact on the local economy. For the coming year, though, that impact is expected to skyrocket, Laidlaw said. While the impact of payroll and indirect jobs -- off-base jobs made possible by the presence of Tyndall -- is expected to be somewhere around $400 million, the ongoing need for repairs at the base and materials needed for those repairs is expected to have a $1 billion impact on the local economy. And that doesn't include the $3 billion to be spent in the next few years to transform Tyndall to house three F-35 stealth fighter jet squadrons and to build facilities to a standard able to survive a major hurricane.

"Tyndall Air Force Base is vital to our area," said Bense, who thanked Laidlaw for his work to bring the base back online. But Bense added that workforce issues remain a problem in terms of a lack of workers and an associated lack of housing.

"It'll be three to five years before we really ultimately recover," Bense said. "We need all we can get to improve our workforce."

In the meantime, Bense told Rubio that the area is struggling with a widespread public perception that it has already recovered from the hurricane, when the reality is that many people haven't yet even received the insurance settlements they'll need to rebuild their homes.

"We're clearly off everyone's radar," Bense said. "It's still complicated around here. It clearly is better now than it was 10 months ago, but we've got a long way to go."

"This is not going to be the Forgotten Coast," Rubio assured Wednesday's audience, "but we've got to stay on it."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The company uses non-GAAP financial measures entitled “adjusted operating income (loss)” and “adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block.” These non-GAAP financial measures are evaluated by management and the company’s Board of Directors to assess performance, manage capital allocation, and in the case of adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block, as a factor for determining annual incentive awards and compensation for senior management. These measures have been established to more accurately reflect overall operating performance, as they minimize the impact of macroeconomic volatility. Management believes using adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block as a consolidated measure of profit or loss better aligns with the company’s strategy and capital allocation framework, as no capital is allocated to the Closed Block segment, which operates on a standalone basis, using existing capital and reserves, along with in-force management actions, to meet future obligations. The company also continues to report adjusted operating income (loss) for the Closed Block segment, as it believes it is the appropriate measure of profit or loss in accordance with segment reporting. Although adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block are non-GAAP financial measures, the company believes these measures aid in understanding the underlying performance of its operations.

The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding:

• net 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 the items listed above from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating performance.

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.

Adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block is derived from adjusted operating income (loss) and excludes adjusted operating income (loss) of the company’s Closed Block segment. While some of the excluded 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), including adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the company. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block are not measures of complete profitability; therefore, they should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP net income (loss). In addition, the company’s definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies. In reporting non-GAAP measures in the future, the company may make other adjustments to exclude items it does not consider reflective of its core operating performance. The company may also disclose other non-GAAP operating measures in the future if it believes that such measures would be helpful to investors in their evaluation of the company.

A 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) and adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, as well as the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Management also reports revenues of its CareScout services business (CareScout Services) to monitor growth of the business. CareScout Services revenues, which are included in Corporate and Other, primarily consist of fees from the CareScout Quality Network and placement fees earned when placing a care seeker in a senior living community, along with service fees such as eligibility assessments and Care Plans. To arrive at CareScout Services revenues, Corporate and Other revenues are adjusted to exclude intercompany eliminations, revenues from other businesses not individually reportable, including the company’s CareScout insurance business (CareScout Insurance) and international businesses, and other sources of revenue such as corporate net investment income and net investment gains (losses). See the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of total Corporate and Other revenues to CareScout Services revenues.

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 (loss) 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, including reviews the company expects to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026);

• the impact on holding company liquidity caused by an inability to receive dividends or any other returns of capital from Enact Holdings, and limited sources of capital and financing and the need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms;

• adverse changes to the structure or requirements of Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or the U.S. mortgage insurance market; an increase in the number of loans insured through federal government mortgage insurance programs, including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration; the inability of Enact Holdings and/or its U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs (or any adverse changes thereto), the inability to meet minimum statutory capital requirements of applicable regulators or the mortgage insurer eligibility requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;

• changes in economic, market and political conditions, labor shortages and fluctuating interest rates; unanticipated financial events, which could lead to market-wide liquidity problems and other significant market disruption resulting in losses, defaults or credit rating downgrades of other financial institutions; deterioration in economic conditions, a recession or a decline in home prices, all of which could be driven by many potential factors, including a U.S. federal government shutdown; an increase in the cost of care impacting the company’s long-term care insurance products included in its Closed Block segment; changes in international trade policy, including the potential impact of new or increased tariffs, retaliatory policies or actions from other countries, and trade wars or other events that lead to political and economic instability; changes in government or monetary policies; changes within regulatory agencies; changes in immigration policy; and fluctuations in international securities markets;

• downgrades in financial strength and credit ratings and potential adverse impacts to liquidity; counterparty credit risks; defaults by counterparties to reinsurance arrangements or derivative instruments; defaults or other events impacting the value of invested assets, including private equity and private credit;

• changes in tax rates or tax laws, or changes in accounting and reporting standards;

• changes in the composition of Enact Holdings’ business or undue concentration by customer or geographic region;

• the impact from deficiencies in the company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting;

• the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, including geopolitical tensions and war (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States, and economic competition between the United States and China, among others), a public health emergency, including pandemics, or climate change;

• the inability to effectively manage technology systems (including artificial intelligence), cyber incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches of the company or its third-party vendors, as well as unknown risks and uncertainties associated with artificial intelligence;

• unanticipated claims resulting from Enact Holdings’ delegated underwriting and loss mitigation programs;

• the impact of medical advances such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, emerging new technology, including artificial intelligence and related legislation; and

• other factors described in the risk factors contained in Item 1A of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026.
