Assurant Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

First Quarter Results Driven by Strong Performance in Global Housing; Global Lifestyle Results

Improved Sequentially

Company Reaffirms 2023 Outlook

ATLANTA, May 2, 2023 - Assurant, Inc.(NYSE: AIZ), a leading global business services company that supports, protects and connects major consumer purchases, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

"We are pleased by our first quarter results, which reflected stronger than expected performance in Global Housing building on progress in fourth quarter 2022. While down year-over-year, Global Lifestyle's results were in-line with our expectations and improved sequentially, reflecting better mobile performance and the benefit of expense actions in international," said Assurant President and CEO Keith Demmings.

"Overall, our first quarter results reinforced our confidence in delivering on our financial objectives for 2023 as we continue to strengthen key client relationships and execute on our digital-first vision and ongoing expense initiatives. With our long-standing focus on prudent capital management, we have been carefully monitoring the broader business and macroeconomic environment. We now expect to resume share repurchases later in the second quarter, but at modest levels given ongoing market volatility," 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.

  • GAAP net income decreased 24 percent to $113.6 million, compared to first quarter 2022 of $149.0 million. The decline was primarily due to lower earnings in Global Housing, including higher reportable catastrophes, and Global Lifestyle, as well as a higher effective tax rate compared to a favorable rate in the prior year period. The decline was partially offset by a decrease in net unrealized losses.
  • GAAP net income per diluted share decreased 20 percent to $2.12 compared to first quarter 2022 of $2.65. The decrease was primarily driven by the factors noted above.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased 21 percent compared to the prior year period, primarily due to $44.3 million of higher pre-tax reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA2 decreased 7 percent to $293.3 million, or 5 percent on a constant currency basis5, primarily due to lower Connected Living results in Global Lifestyle, which were partially offset by an increase in Homeowners within Global Housing.
  • Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share4, decreased 12 percent to $3.49, primarily from lower segment earnings, a higher effective tax rate compared to a favorable rate in the prior year period and an increase in depreciation expense, partially offset by share repurchases from previous quarters.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income from the Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments totaled $2.55 billion compared to $2.45 billion in first quarter 2022, up 4 percent or 5 percent on a constant currency basis5, mainly from Global Automotive growth within Global Lifestyle and an increase in Homeowners within Global Housing.

  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 12 percent compared to the first quarter 2022, or 10 percent on a constant currency basis5. The decrease was primarily driven by lower Connected Living results mainly from an increase in claims costs within extended service contracts compared to favorable loss experience in first quarter 2022, as well as weaker international performance mainly from Asia Pacific and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Global Automotive also declined from ongoing higher claims costs. The decline in Global Lifestyle was partially offset by higher investment income.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 3 percent compared to first quarter 2022, or 4 percent on a constant currency basis5, driven by prior period sales in Global Automotive. Connected Living decreased mainly from the approximately $65 million impact from previously disclosed mobile contract changes, as well as runoff mobile programs, which were partially offset by growth in extended service contracts and North American mobile subscribers.

  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 34 percent compared to the first quarter 2022, primarily due to a $43.3 million increase in reportable catastrophes from severe weather and tornado events. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 7 percent primarily due to Homeowners from higher lender-placed net earned premiums, which was partially offset by $32.0 million of higher non-catastrophe loss experience across all major products and increased catastrophe reinsurance costs.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 11 percent year-over-year,largely driven by Homeowners from an increase in lender-placedpolicies in-forceas well as higher average insured values and premium rates.

Based on current market conditions, for full-year 2023, the company continues to expect:

  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, to increase by low single-digits,with results improving as the year progresses, led by improved performance in Global Housing and more modest growth in Global Lifestyle.
    • Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, is expected to grow, driven by improved performance in Homeowners reflecting higher lender-placednet earned premiums along with expense savings to be realized over the course of the year. Higher 2023 catastrophe reinsurance program costs as well as continued elevated non-catastropheloss experience across all lines of business, particularly in the first half of 2023, are expected to impact the segment.
    • Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA, is expected to grow modestly, driven by Connected Living and Global Automotive, including contributions from new and existing client programs and expense savings realized over the course of the year. Lower contributions from international, including the impact of continued foreign exchange headwinds, are expected to pressure results particularly in the first half of 2023.
    • Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be approximately $105 million as the company continues to drive expense leverage.
  • Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share growth rate is expected to be lower than Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes growth due to higher depreciation expense of approximately $114 million and a higher effective tax rate of approximately 22 to 24 percent, following a $9 million benefit in 2022. Interest expense is expected to be approximately $110 million, in-linewith 2022.
  • Business segment dividends to approximate 65% of segment Adjusted EBITDA, including reportable catastrophes, which takes into account the previously announced restructuring plan. This is subject to the business and investment portfolio performance, and rating agency and regulatory capital requirements.
    Based on current market conditions, the company now expects:
