Executive summary

  • Net income for Q3 2025 was $39.7 million ($0.23 per diluted share), down from $645.7 million ($3.46 per share) in Q3 2024, mainly due to a significant after-tax net reserve increase from annual GAAP reserve assumption updates and a major reinsurance transaction.

  • After-tax adjusted operating income for Q3 2025 was $357.1 million ($2.09 per share), compared to $398.0 million ($2.13 per share) in Q3 2024, with core operations showing 2.9% premium growth and a 21.4% adjusted operating return on equity.

  • Closed Block long-term care and Unum US individual disability reinsurance transaction with Fortitude Re closed in July 2025, impacting results and capital structure.

  • Approximately $980 million was returned to shareholders year-to-date, including $253.3 million in Q3 share repurchases and $78.3 million in dividends.

  • Technology initiatives, high persistency rates, and digital investments are supporting growth and retention across segments.

  • Net investment income was $476.8 million, down 9.7% year-over-year, mainly due to lower invested assets post-reinsurance transaction.

  • Adjusted after-tax operating income per share was $2.09, down from $2.13 year-over-year, mainly due to closed block volatility.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
