Assurant Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

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

ATLANTA, October 31, 2023 — 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.

Third Quarter 2023 Summary

•GAAP net income increased to $190.1 million, compared to third quarter 2022 of $7.3 million, while net income per diluted share increased to $3.54 versus the prior year period of $0.14.

•Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes2, increased to $357.1 million, compared to third quarter 2022 of $239.6 million.

•Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share4, increased to $4.68, compared to third quarter 2022 of $2.81.

•Holding company liquidity was $491 million; returned $87 million to shareholders via share repurchases and common stock dividends in the quarter.

2023 Outlook

The company now expects:

•Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes6, to increase mid- to high-teens, driven by significant growth in Global Housing, partially offset by a modest decline in Global Lifestyle.

•Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share6, growth rate to exceed the growth rate in Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, due to higher earnings growth, a lower effective tax rate and the impact of share repurchases.

-2-

•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.

Global Lifestyle


$ in millions	Q3'23	Q3'22	Change	9M'23	9M'22	Change
Adjusted EBITDA	191.8	179.4	7%	587.7	627.1	(6)%
Net earned premiums, fees and other income	2,105.8	2,022.6	4%	6,255.0	6,023.8	4%

•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.

Global Housing

Adjusted EBITDA	165.1	(38.5)	529%	388.1	126.9	206%

Net earned premiums, fees and other income	555.2	451.8	23%	1,597.1	1,375.5	16%

•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.

Adjusted EBITDA	(26.2)	(24.9)	(5)%	(79.1)	(72.0)	(10)%

•Adjusted EBITDA loss increased in third quarter 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, which was partially offset by higher net investment income.

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.

2023 Company Outlook6

Note: Some of 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.

Based on current market conditions, for full-year 2023, the company now expects:


$ in millions, except per share data	FY 2022	9M’23	2023 Outlook6
Adjusted EBITDA, ex. reportable catastrophes2	1,128.3	986.9	Mid- to high-teens growth



Adjusted earnings, ex. reportable catastrophes, per diluted share4	$13.61	$12.25	Growth rate to exceed Adjusted EBITDA, ex. reportable catastrophes

•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.

(3)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).

(5)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.

(6)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.
