Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE:GNW) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Genworth is off to a solid start in 2026, with first quarter results demonstrating disciplined execution across our businesses," said Tom McInerney, President & CEO. "Enact's strong cash generation supported capital returns to shareholders, while we continued to build the CareScout platform and enhanced the self-sustainability of the Closed Block. We remain well positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value and help families navigate the aging journey with confidence."

In the first quarter of 2026, the company began reporting adjusted operating income (loss), excluding Closed Block as its new consolidated operating performance measure. Management believes the new measure better aligns with the company's strategy and capital allocation framework, managing the Closed Block on a standalone basis. While this is a non-GAAP financial measure, the company believes the new measure aids in understanding the company's underlying operating performance.

Consolidated GAAP Financial Highlights

• Net income was driven by Enact, which had strong operating performance
• Net investment income, net of taxes, was $605 million in the quarter, down from $620 million in the prior quarter and up from $584 million in the prior year primarily from changes in limited partnership income
• Net investment losses, net of taxes, decreased net income by $21 million in the quarter, compared with losses of $31 million in the prior quarter and net investment gains of $21 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 equity securities

Enact

• Results in the quarter included a pre-tax reserve release of $39 million reflecting favorable cure performance and loss mitigation activities. The prior quarter and prior year included pre-tax reserve releases of $60 million and $47 million, respectively
• Pre-tax net investment income of $72 million was up from $63 million in the prior year from higher yields and higher invested assets
• Primary new insurance written (NIW) was down 11% from the prior quarter from seasonality and up 30% from the prior year primarily from elevated refinance volume
• Primary insurance in-force increased 2% versus the prior year, driven by NIW and continued elevated persistency

• Enact paid a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share
• Enact announced an increase to its quarterly dividend to $0.24 per share, payable in June 2026
• Estimated PMIERs sufficiency ratio of 162%, $1,919 million above requirements

Corporate and Other

• Current quarter results were primarily driven by continued investment in CareScout to fund growth in the services business and debt service
• Prior quarter results included a favorable impact from tax-related items

Closed Block

• Current quarter results were primarily driven by a $36 million pre-tax A/E¹⁴ loss¹⁵
  • Mortality increased sequentially with seasonal trends, but was lower than the prior year; LTC claims continued to grow as the block ages
  • Results included net insurance recoveries of $65 million pre-tax in LTC, with $42 million recorded as a reduction to expenses and $23 million reflected as a reduction to the A/E loss
• Results in the prior quarter and prior year reflected pre-tax A/E losses of $133 million and $5 million, respectively

• Statutory pre-tax loss was $77 million in the current quarter
  • LTC continued to benefit from IFAs. Claims continued to grow as the block ages. Current quarter results reflected a $50 million benefit from net insurance recoveries
  • Life insurance results included unfavorable reserve changes from aging of the block. The prior quarter included a net benefit from assumption updates of $51 million
  • Mortality in LTC and life insurance increased sequentially with seasonal trends, but was lower than the prior year
  • Annuities results reflected a $19 million favorable reserve release from a required regulatory update, partially offset by $13 million unfavorable net equity market and interest rate impacts compared to $22 million favorable in the prior quarter and $26 million unfavorable in the prior year
• Current quarter estimated GLIC consolidated RBC ratio was 289%, down from the prior quarter driven by the statutory loss in the quarter

Holding Company Cash and Liquid Assets

• Cash and liquid assets were $166 million at the end of the current quarter, which included approximately $50 million of cash held for future obligations, including advance cash payments from the company's subsidiaries
• Cash inflows during the current quarter included $99 million from Enact capital returns
• Current quarter cash outflows included $89 million primarily related to annual employee benefit payments, which were advanced by the subsidiaries in 2025, $66 million in share repurchases, $7 million related to debt servicing costs and the repurchase of $5 million in principal of holding company debt

Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns

• Executed $66 million in share repurchases in the quarter at an average price of $8.61 per share
• Executed $856 million in share repurchases since the program's inception through March 31, 2026 at an average price of $6.35 per share

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 basis 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:

• 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.

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 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), 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 business. 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025, as well as the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Management also reports revenues of 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 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.
