Results and growth drivers

  • Net income driven by Enact: Net income available to common stockholders was $116 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, against $51 million in the prior quarter and $85 million a year earlier. Management attributed the result to Enact. Source
  • Net investment gains lifted net income: Net investment gains added $78 million to net income, against $22 million of losses in the prior quarter, driven by mark-to-market adjustments on limited partnerships and equity securities. Adjusted operating income was $17 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Source
  • Tax benefit added $34 million: Net income included a $34 million tax benefit from the release of part of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. Source

Enact mortgage insurance segment

  • New insurance written rose 6% on quarter: Primary new insurance written was $14,048 million, up from $13,254 million in the prior quarter and $13,591 million a year earlier. Enact reported adjusted operating income of $134 million. Source
  • Insurance in force grew 2%: Primary insurance in force was $272.3 billion, up 2% from a year earlier, driven by new insurance written and continued elevated persistency. Source
  • Enact investment income rose: Enact net investment income was $68 million, up from $62 million a year earlier, reflecting higher yields and higher invested assets. Source

“In addition, the Genworth Board authorized a new $350 million share repurchase program, reaffirming our commitment to returning capital to shareholders”

Long-term care insurance results

  • Remeasurement loss widened LTC loss: The liability remeasurement loss was $113 million, against $50 million in the prior quarter. The long-term care adjusted operating loss was $100 million, against $37 million in the prior quarter. Source
  • Premiums rose on rate actions: Long-term care premiums were $597 million, up from $578 million in the prior quarter and $581 million a year earlier. In-force rate actions drove the increase, partly offset by policy terminations. Source
  • Partnership income reduced investment income: Long-term care net investment income was $505 million, down from $516 million in the prior quarter, due to lower limited partnership income. It was up from $483 million a year earlier. Source

Life, annuities and corporate

  • Life insurance loss narrowed on mortality: Life insurance adjusted operating loss was $15 million, against $20 million in the prior quarter and $40 million a year earlier. Total life and annuities adjusted operating income was $4 million. Source
  • Annuity income rose, spread income fell: Annuities adjusted operating income was $19 million, up from $13 million in the prior quarter and the prior year. Lower spread income from block runoff partly offset the mortality benefit. Source
  • Corporate loss narrowed on tax item: Corporate and Other adjusted operating loss was $21 million. A $7 million tax benefit from a valuation allowance release was included. Source

“Supported by Enact’s strong cash flows, we remain focused on delivering value to our shareholders and to the millions of families we serve”
