Significant Earnings and EPS Growth Driven by
Continued Strong Performance in Global Housing and Growth in Global
Lifestyle
Company Increases 2023 Outlook to Deliver Mid-
to High-Teens Growth in Adjusted EBITDA, with Adjusted EPS Growth
to Exceed Adjusted EBITDA, Both Ex. Catastrophes
Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ), a leading global business services
company that supports, protects and connects major consumer
purchases, today reported results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2023.
“Results for the third quarter were exceptionally strong and
outperformed our expectations,” said Assurant President and CEO
Keith Demmings. “Global Housing’s top-line momentum and improving
loss experience combined with Global Lifestyle’s growing U.S.
mobile business produced significant year-over-year earnings
growth.”
“Our year-to-date performance underscores the strength of our
business model and is the result of the many strategic actions
taken throughout Assurant over the last 18 months to drive
financial and operational excellence. Looking ahead, we are focused
on executing our 2023 financial objectives as we continue to make
critical investments in talent and technology to drive sustainable
growth while effectively deploying our capital to support long-term
shareholder value creation,” Demmings added.
Note: The metrics included within the company’s outlook are
non-GAAP financial measures and the company believes that it
cannot, without unreasonable efforts, forecast certain information
needed to reconcile to the GAAP measures, the probable significance
of which cannot be determined. More information can be found in the
Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

outlook are non-GAAP financial measures and the company believes
that it cannot, without unreasonable efforts, forecast certain
information needed to reconcile to the GAAP measures, the probable
significance of which cannot be determined. More information can be

Note: Adjusted EBITDA of the Global Lifestyle, Global Housing
and Corporate and Other segments is the segment measure of
profitability in our GAAP financial statements and includes
reportable catastrophes. Additional details regarding key financial
metrics are included in the Financial Supplement located on
Assurant’s Investor Relations website:
https://ir.assurant.com/investor/default.aspx
- GAAP net income increased to $190.1 million, compared to
third quarter 2022 of $7.3 million primarily due to higher earnings
and lower reportable catastrophes within Global Housing. This was
partially offset by a $10.5 million after-tax charge from
additional restructuring costs related to extending the company’s
previously announced restructuring plan in fourth quarter
2022.
- GAAP net income per diluted share increased to
$3.54 compared to third quarter 2022 of $0.14. The increase was
primarily driven by the factors noted above.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 185 percent to $330.7 million
compared to the prior year period, primarily due to strong
performance in Global Housing, including $97.6 million of lower
pre-tax reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes,
Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 49 percent, including on a constant
currency basis5, to $357.1 million, primarily due to lower
non-catastrophe loss experience and continued top-line momentum
within Global Housing, as well as growth in Global Lifestyle to a
lesser extent.
- Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per
diluted share4, increased 67 percent to $4.68 compared to the
prior year period, primarily from higher Global Housing segment
earnings and $5.2 million of one-time tax benefits.
- Net earned premiums, fees and other income from the
Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments totaled $2.66 billion
compared to $2.47 billion in third quarter 2022, up 8 percent,
similar on a constant currency basis5, mainly from an increase in
Homeowners within Global Housing and prior period sales in Global
Automotive within Global Lifestyle.

- Adjusted EBITDA increased 7 percent compared to third
quarter 2022, including on a constant currency basis5, driven by
growth in Connected Living, which was partially offset by lower
Global Automotive results. Excluding a one-time $11.2 million
client contract benefit from third quarter 2022, underlying Global
Lifestyle results increased $23.6 million, or 14 percent, primarily
driven by higher net investment income, stronger mobile device
protection results and improved mobile trade-in margins in North
America. This increase was partially offset by ongoing elevated
claims costs in Global Automotive and lower results in Asia Pacific
within Connected Living.
- Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 4
percent compared to third quarter 2022, including on a constant
currency basis5, driven mainly by prior period sales in Global
Automotive. Connected Living increased modestly from growth in
North American mobile subscribers, partially offset by an
approximately $55 million impact from previously disclosed mobile
program contract changes as well as runoff mobile programs.

- Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly compared to the
third quarter 2022, primarily due to $97.6 million of lower pre-tax
reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes,
Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 124 percent primarily due to lower
non-catastrophe loss experience, including a $14.6 million reserve
reduction in the current quarter compared to $24.3 million of
reserve strengthening in the prior year period, as well as higher
net earned premiums and expense leverage within Homeowners. Higher
net investment income also contributed to the increase.
- Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 23
percent compared to third quarter 2022, largely driven by
Homeowners from higher average insured values and premium rates
primarily to address increased claims severity as well as higher
policies in-force. The increase was also driven by the absence of
catastrophe reinstatement premiums compared to $34.2 million in the
prior year period.

Holding Company Liquidity Position
- Holding company liquidity totaled $491 million as of
September 30, 2023, or $266 million above the company’s targeted
minimum level of $225 million. Dividends paid by the operating
segments to the holding company in third quarter 2023 totaled $202
million. Year-to-date, dividends paid by the operating segments
totaled $493 million, representing approximately 55% of Adjusted
EBITDA, including reportable catastrophes. In addition to quarterly
interest and Corporate and Other expenses, the company had $50
million of cash outflows related to the payment of the remaining
principal amount of its September 2023 Senior Notes.
- Share repurchases and common stock dividends totaled $87
million in third quarter 2023. During third quarter 2023, Assurant
repurchased approximately 360 thousand shares of common stock for
$50 million and paid $37 million in common stock dividends. From
October 1 through October 31, 2023, the company repurchased
approximately 205 thousand shares for $30 million, with $174
million remaining under the current repurchase authorization.

- Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes6, to
increase by mid- to high-teens, as significant growth in Global
Housing is partially offset by a modest decline in Global
Lifestyle.
- Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable
catastrophes6, to grow significantly, driven by strong
performance in Homeowners reflecting higher lender-placed net
earned premiums, improving non-catastrophe loss experience
including favorable prior period reserve development, and continued
expense savings.
- Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA, to decline modestly,
largely driven by Global Automotive from elevated claims costs and
lower contributions within Asia Pacific, including softer volumes
and the impact of foreign exchange. The decline will be partially
offset by higher net investment income, mobile growth in North
America and continued expense savings.
- Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA loss to be
approximately $105 million as the company continues to drive
expense leverage.
- Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per
diluted share6 growth rate to exceed growth in Adjusted EBITDA,
excluding reportable catastrophes driven by higher earnings, a
lower effective tax rate and the impact of share repurchases. The
company expects depreciation expense of approximately $105 million,
interest expense of approximately $108 million, and an effective
tax rate of approximately 20 to 22 percent.
- Business segment dividends to approximate 65% of segment
Adjusted EBITDA, including reportable catastrophes, which takes
into account the extended restructuring plan. This is subject to
the business and investment portfolio performance, and rating
agency and regulatory capital requirements.
- Capital deployment priorities to focus on maintaining a strong
financial position, supporting business growth by funding
investments and M&A, and returning capital to shareholders
through common stock dividends and share repurchases, subject to
Board approval.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Assurant uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to
analyze the company’s operating performance. Assurant’s non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for GAAP financial measures. Because Assurant’s
calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used
by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing
Assurant’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other
companies.
(1)
Assurant uses Adjusted EBITDA as an
important measure of the company’s operating performance. Assurant
defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, excluding net realized
losses (gains) on investments and fair value changes to equity
securities, non-core operations, restructuring costs related to
strategic exit activities, Assurant Health runoff operations,
interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes,
depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets,
as well as other highly variable or unusual items. The company
believes this metric provides investors with an important measure
of the company’s operating performance because it excludes items
that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company, and
therefore (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to
analyze the ongoing operations of its businesses and (ii)
facilitates comparisons of its operating performance over multiple
periods, including because the amortization expense associated with
purchased intangible assets may fluctuate from period to period
based on the timing, size, nature and number of acquisitions.
Although the company excludes amortization of purchased intangible
assets from Adjusted EBITDA, revenue generated from such intangible
assets is included within the revenue in determining Adjusted
EBITDA. The comparable GAAP measure is net income. See Note 2 below
for a full reconciliation.
(2)
Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Reportable
Catastrophes: Assurant uses Adjusted EBITDA (defined above),
excluding reportable catastrophes (which represents individual
catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5.0 million,
pre-tax, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments
and including reinstatement and other premiums), as another
important measure of the company’s operating performance. The
company believes this metric provides investors with an important
measure of the company’s operating performance for the reasons
noted above, and because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which
can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share:
Assurant uses Adjusted earnings per diluted share as an important
measure of the company’s stockholder value. Assurant defines
Adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income, excluding net
realized losses (gains) on investments and fair value changes to
equity securities, amortization of purchased intangible assets,
non-core operations, restructuring costs related to strategic exit
activities, Assurant Health runoff operations, as well as other
highly variable or unusual items, divided by the weighted average
diluted shares outstanding. The company believes this metric
provides investors with an important measure of stockholder value
because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing
operations of the company, and therefore (i) enhances management’s
and investors’ ability to analyze the ongoing operations of its
businesses and (ii) facilitates comparisons of its operating
performance over multiple periods, including because the
amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets
may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing, size,
nature and number of acquisitions. Although the company excludes
amortization of purchased intangible assets from Adjusted earnings,
revenue generated from such intangible assets is included within
the revenue in determining Adjusted earnings. The comparable GAAP
measure is net income per diluted share, defined as net income,
divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. See
Note 4 below for a full reconciliation.
(4)
Adjusted Earnings, Excluding Reportable
Catastrophes, per Diluted Share: Assurant uses Adjusted earnings,
excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share (each as
defined above) as another important measure of the company's
stockholder value. The company believes this metric provides
investors with an important measure of stockholder value for the
reasons noted above, and because it excludes reportable
catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is
net income per diluted share (defined above).

Constant Currency: Represents a non-GAAP
financial measure. Excludes the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates used in the translation of the income
statement because they can be volatile. These amounts are
calculated by translating the comparable prior period results at
the weighted average foreign currency exchange rates used in the
current period, and it excludes the impact of foreign exchange
transaction gains (losses) associated with the remeasurement of
non-functional currencies. The company believes this information
allows investors to identify the significance of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates in period-to-period comparisons.

The company outlook for Adjusted earnings,
excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share and Adjusted
EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, for Assurant and Global
Housing, each constitute forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures and the company believes that it cannot, without
unreasonable efforts, forecast certain information needed to
reconcile such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the
most comparable GAAP measure, the probable significance of which
cannot be determined. The company is able to quantify a full-year
estimate of interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization
of purchased intangible assets, each on a pre-tax basis, and the
estimated effective tax rate, which are expected to be
approximately $108 million, $105 million, $74 million and 20 to 22
percent, respectively. Other GAAP components cannot be reliably
quantified due to the combination of variability and volatility of
such components and may, depending on the size of the components,
have a significant impact on the reconciliation.
