Life Insurance Licensed Sales Force
The Company’s life licensed sales force ended the fourth quarter of 2025 largely unchanged from year-end 2024 at 151,524 representatives. While recruiting and new licenses were lower than the prior year quarter, we recruited a total of 75,369 individuals and 10,998 new representatives obtained their life insurance licenses, demonstrating the continued interest in the Primerica opportunity and our commitment to helping families achieve financial independence.
Term Life Insurance
The number of new life insurance policies issued during the fourth quarter decreased 15% year-over-year. Productivity as measured by the average monthly rate of new policies issued per life-licensed independent sales representative was 0.17. The Company continues to support the sales force with training designed to help representatives guide clients in understanding and prioritizing their financial needs.
Fourth quarter revenues of $456.8 million increased 1% compared to the prior year period, while pre-tax operating income of $146.6 million increased 5%. The benefits and claims ratio was 57.8% compared to 58.6% in the prior year period. Excluding the $5.2 million remeasurement gain recognized in the current year period and the $1.5 million remeasurement loss recognized in the prior year period, the benefits and claims ratio was largely consistent year over year. The DAC amortization and insurance commissions ratio remained stable at 12.2%, while the insurance expense ratio at 8.5% was up modestly compared to 8.0% in the prior year period. The Term Life operating margin was 21.5%, up modestly compared to 21.3% in the prior year period.
Investment and Savings Products
During the fourth quarter of 2025, total product sales were $4.1 billion, a new Company record and a 24% increase compared to the prior year period. Strong demand across all major product lines supported sales growth, while favorable equity market performance led to a 15% increase in client asset values year-over-year. Net inflows during the fourth quarter of 2025 were $325 million.
Fourth quarter revenues of $340.3 million increased 19% year-over-year, while income before income taxes of $100.6 million increased 23%. Growth in sales-based commission revenues modestly outpaced revenue-generating sales due to the continued strong demand for variable annuities. Asset-based commission revenues grew 21%, supported by a favorable mix-shift toward U.S. managed accounts and Canadian mutual funds sold under the principal distributor model, compared to a 14% increase in average client asset values. Sales-based and asset-based commission expenses grew in line with related revenues.
Corporate and Other Distributed Products
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the segment recorded a pre-tax adjusted operating loss of $0.3 million compared to a pre-tax adjusted operating loss of $1.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net investment income increased $3.6 million compared to the prior year period largely due to the continued growth of the invested asset portfolio.
Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 20.2% during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we recognized an income tax benefit of $7.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, from the purchase of transferable federal income tax credits. Excluding the impact from these credits, our effective income tax rate was 23.3%.
Capital
During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased $74.0 million of its common stock, completing the Board of Directors' authorization to repurchase $450 million of common stock during 2025. The Board of Directors authorized a new $475 million share repurchase program to occur through December 31, 2026. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a 15% increase to our first quarter dividend, now at $1.20 per share and payable on March 13, 2026 to stockholders of record on February 23, 2026. Primerica Life Insurance Company’s statutory risk-based capital (RBC) ratio was estimated to be 455% as of December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company presents adjusted direct premiums, other ceded premiums, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income, diluted adjusted operating earnings per share and adjusted stockholders' equity.
Adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums are net of amounts ceded under coinsurance transactions that were executed concurrent with our initial public offering (the IPO coinsurance transactions) for all periods presented. We exclude amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions in measuring adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums to present meaningful comparisons of the actual premiums economically maintained by the Company. Amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions will continue to decline over time as policies terminate within this block of business.
Adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the impact of investment gains (losses), including credit impairments, and fair value mark-to-market (MTM) investment adjustments for all periods presented. We exclude investment gains (losses), including credit impairments, and MTM investment adjustments in measuring these non-GAAP financial measures to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results due to items such as the timing of recognizing gains (losses) and market pricing variations prior to an invested asset’s maturity or sale that are not directly associated with the Company’s insurance operations. Also excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is the receipt of insurance proceeds in the second quarter of 2024 under a Representation and Warranty policy purchased in connection with the 2021 acquisition of e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. and subsidiaries (e-TeleQuote). We exclude this gain from our non-GAAP financial measures as it represents a non-recurring item that causes incomparability in the Company’s results.
Adjusted operating income before taxes, adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share also exclude corporate restructuring and related charges in 2024 associated with the decision to exit the senior health business. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures as they are not useful in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operations.
Adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share also exclude the tax effect of pre-tax operating adjustments and the valuation allowance recognized in the second quarter of 2024 for e-TeleQuote’s state net operating losses (NOLs), which is required to be reported in income taxes from continuing operations. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures as they represent the tax effect of pre-tax operating adjustments and/or non-recurring items that will cause incomparability between period-over-period results.
Adjusted stockholders’ equity excludes the impact of net unrealized investment gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. We exclude unrealized investment gains (losses) in measuring adjusted stockholders’ equity as unrealized gains (losses) from the Company’s available-for-sale securities are largely caused by market movements in interest rates and credit spreads that do not necessarily correlate with the cash flows we will ultimately realize when an available-for-sale security matures or is sold. Adjusted stockholders’ equity also excludes the difference in future policy benefits calculated using the current discount rate and future policy benefits calculated using the locked-in discount rate at contract issuance recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We exclude the impact from the difference in the discount rate in measuring adjusted stockholders' equity as such difference is caused by market movements in interest rates that are not permanent and may not align with the cash flows we will ultimately incur when policy benefits are settled.
Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of similar measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Furthermore, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of the core ongoing business. These measures have limitations and users should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are attached to this release.

New Report: Middle Class Americans Acknowledge Past Financial Mistakes
Primerica, Inc. (NYSE:PRI)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Tuesday 18 September 2012
In an analysis of two new sources of information about family finances, the Consumer Federation of America and Primerica found that two-thirds of middle class Americans acknowledge having made financial mistakes, often costly ones.
The new report, “The Financial Status and Decision-Making of the American Middle Class,” also concluded that the financial condition of most middle class families is challenging. For example, in 2010 the typical middle class family had financial assets of $27,300 – including retirement savings but not pensions – which was 28 percent less than the $37,800 held in 2007.
The comprehensive analysis includes a national survey of 2015 representative adult Americans by ORC International in July of this year and a statistical examination of the Federal Reserve Board’s 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, by Professor Catherine Montalto of The Ohio State University.
In the ORC International survey, 843 out of 2015 respondents reported household incomes between $30,000 and $100,000 and were considered to be middle class. Key findings from an analysis of the survey data are:
Two-thirds of middle class Americans (67%) said that, in the past, they had made at least one “really bad financial decision,” and nearly half of those questioned (47%) acknowledged that they had made more than one bad decision. The typical (median) cost of these bad decisions was $5,000, but the average cost was $23,000.
Few of these Americans said their main source of information or advice about specific financial decisions would be from the Internet, books, magazines, or TV. And a number said they would not seek information or advice in making these decisions. For example, for “saving and investing,” only 15 percent said they would rely on the Internet, publications, or TV for the information, yet another 17 percent said they “wouldn’t seek any information or advice, and just make a decision.” However, for this kind of decision, 45 percent said they would use information and advice from a financial professional.
These middle class Americans are much more risk-averse than those with higher incomes. If given $1,000,000 to invest for retirement, only 21 percent of middle class Americans, compared to 48 percent of higher-income persons (incomes $100,000 and over), would invest mainly in “stocks, bonds, and/or mutual funds.” And 19 percent of the middle class group would “invest” most of their funds in a savings account while 25 percent would invest mainly in real estate.
Yet, large majorities of these Americans believe their ability to make financial decisions is “good” or “excellent” – for example, 81 percent for ability to budget income and 80 percent for ability to manage credit card debt though only 63 percent for ability to save for retirement and 67 percent for their ability to purchase a mortgage loan.
“Considering their past mistakes and the complexity of the financial services marketplace, we were surprised at how highly most middle class Americans rate their ability to make a variety of financial decisions and how infrequently they rely on information from the Internet and publications,” said CFA Executive Director Stephen Brobeck.
The second source of information was the Federal Reserve Board’s 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, which was released several months ago. Professor Catherine Montalto of The Ohio State University used its database, and that of the Fed’s 2007 survey, to compute financial statistics for the 40 percent of households in the third and fourth income quintiles -- incomes between $35,600 and $94,600 in 2010. Analysis of these data revealed that:
This typical middle class family had financial assets of $27,300, including $3,900 in checking and/or savings accounts. These financial assets were 28 percent less than the $37,800 held in 2007.
Most of these financial assets represented money in contributory retirement accounts, but only about three-fifths of all families (61%) had such an account (though a number of middle class families did have pensions).
For middle class families, the typical debt payments to income ratio was 20 percent with only 9 percent having debt payments that were overdue by 60 days or more. But nearly half (49%) still carried credit card debt from month to month, and the typical (median) debt for these families was $2,700.
The decline in housing prices was the main reason that the net assets of the typical middle income family declined 35 percent, from $145,600 to $94,700.
“Families without a lot of resources are balancing difficult and expensive priorities such as saving enough for college and retirement or paying off a mortgage and consumer debt. When you consider these demands within the context of the last decade’s falling incomes, we are nearing a crisis in this country,” said John Addison, Primerica Co-CEO. “Primerica’s representatives specialize in working with families that earn between $30-$100,000, and trust me, this can be a lonely field to be in. The trend on Wall Street is to work with wealthier and wealthier clients, but this report lays out very clearly the urgent need for more financial services aimed at middle income earners.”
Other findings from the analysis of the Fed data include:
Only 21 percent of the middle class families had a cash value life insurance policy, 15 percent stocks outside a retirement account, 14 percent certificates of deposit, and 13 percent U.S. Savings Bonds.
Over half of these families (53%) had installment debt whose typical amount was $13,500. Almost all of this debt represented auto loans and student loans.
These families held consumer and mortgage debt that was, typically, $85,400 in 2007 and $84,400 in 2010.
Other findings from the analysis of the ORCI survey data include:
More older middle class persons (65 and older) than younger persons (18-34 years) rated their financial decision-making ability as good or excellent, for example, 56 percent vs. 27 percent for budgeting one’s income.
Two-fifths of middle class persons (40%) said they would not seek information or advice about managing credit card debt, and about one-quarter would not do so for purchasing auto insurance (25%) and life insurance (24%).
Few said they would use information and advice from a financial professional for managing credit card debt (18%) and purchasing auto insurance (13%).
The least well-educated middle class persons were the least likely to seek information or advice. For example, 23 percent of those with a high school degree or less, but only 10 percent of those with a college degree, would not seek information about saving and investing.
A very small percentage would invest the bulk of $10,000 (7%), $100,000 (6%), or $1,000,000 (6%) in gold or precious metals.
Fewer middle class persons (63%) than those with incomes of $100,000 or higher (76%) rated their decision-making about saving for retirement as good or excellent.
More middle class persons (67%) than upper income persons (61%) said they had made at least one bad financial decision but the latter group lost more money -- $61,000 vs. $23,000 on average, presumably because they had more to lose.
The Consumer Federation of America is a nonprofit association of some 270 consumer groups that was established in 1968 to advance the consumer interest through research, advocacy, and education. While its primary focus is public policy issues, CFA founded and manages the America Saves campaign in which more than 300,000 Americans have enrolled or pledged as Savers.

Primerica Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results
Primerica, Inc. (NYSE:PRI)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Tuesday 7 August 2012
Primerica, Inc. (NYSE: PRI) announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Total revenues were $300.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 and net income was $46.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share. Operating revenues increased by 8% to $296.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $273.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net operating income grew by 18% to $45.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $38.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year trends reflect strong performance in the Term Life segment and the impact of our share repurchases as well as higher prior year insurance and operating expenses. Net operating income return on adjusted stockholders’ equity (ROAE) was 14.8% (13.9% on a net income and stockholders’ equity basis) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the highest since becoming a public company in 2010.
Rick Williams, Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer said, “Our 18% increase in net operating income in the second quarter and share repurchases drove a 40% increase in net operating earnings per diluted share and increased net operating return on adjusted stockholders equity to 14.8% from 11.6% in the year ago period. Our simple products and disciplined approach to business enhancements and capital management will continue to provide opportunities for strong long-term results.”
John Addison, Chairman of Primerica Distribution and Co-Chief Executive Officer said, “Sales force distribution development showed strength this quarter with the size of our life licensed sales force growing and our focus on licensing resulting in a 21% increase in new life insurance licenses. Our Investment and Savings Products sales also grew 5% in the second quarter as we continued to demonstrate the power of our large scale distribution model by producing over $100 million of fixed indexed annuity sales in the first full quarter the product was offered.”
Distribution Results
The size of our life-licensed insurance sales force grew to 90,868 at June 30, 2012 from 90,519 at June 30, 2011 and 89,651 at March 31, 2012. Sales force growth was driven by 9,786 new life licenses in the second quarter of 2012, a 21% increase from the second quarter of 2011 and a 28% increase from the first quarter of 2012. Recruiting of new representatives in the second quarter of 2012 declined 25% to 48,976 compared with the second quarter of 2011 and was down 16% from the first quarter of 2012 largely reflecting the strong focus on getting new representatives through the licensing process. Recruiting in the second quarter of 2011 also benefited from the post-convention recruiting surge in June and July of 2011.
Term life insurance policies issued increased slightly to 60,583 in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the year ago period. Sequentially, term life insurance policies issued increased 8% compared with the first quarter of 2012, largely reflecting typical seasonality. Term Life net premium revenue increased 28% to $138.3 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter a year ago and increased by 8% from the first quarter as we continue to build the Term Life book of business.
Investment and Savings Products sales grew 5% to $1.19 billion in the second quarter of 2012 from the year ago quarter primarily as a result of sales growth in our recently launched fixed indexed annuity and managed account products. Total sales levels were consistent with the first quarter of 2012. Client asset values at June 30, 2012 declined 2% to $35.29 billion relative to a year ago and declined 3% compared with March 31, 2012, primarily reflecting market conditions in the U.S. and Canada.

(1) See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section and the segment Operating Results Reconcilations at the end of this release for additional information.
(2) Reflects revised accounting standards related to costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts.
Term Life Insurance. Operating revenues grew by 24% to $162.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the same period a year ago. Net premiums continue to build with the in force block, up 28% from the prior year period. Net investment income increased year-over-year consistent with the growth in assets allocated to support the Term Life business. Net investment income was not notably impacted by low prevailing market interest rates.
Operating income before income taxes increased by 44% over the prior year period to $51.7 million additionally reflecting higher deferrals of commissions consistent with incentive program changes as well as prior year new product launch and convention-related expenses, partially offset by growth in premium-related expenses. Interest expense increased in the quarter due to the redundant reserve financing executed in March 2012. Persistency and mortality experience were both consistent with the prior year period.
Sequentially, operating income before income taxes increased by 17% reflecting continued premium growth, seasonally stronger persistency and lower incurred claims in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2012. The stronger seasonal second quarter persistency resulted in lower DAC amortization partially offset by higher reserve increases in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the prior quarter. Results were also impacted by higher interest expense associated with the new redundant reserve financing and higher life insurance licensing-related expenses.
Investment and Savings Products. Operating revenues declined 2% to $103.0 million and operating income before income taxes declined 3% to $29.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the second quarter of 2011, reflecting a slight decline in average client asset values consistent with market performance. We also experienced a modest shift in sales mix towards managed accounts, which provide ongoing asset-based revenues rather than sales-based revenues.
Sequentially, operating income before income taxes increased 2% from the first quarter of 2012 reflecting higher sales of sales-based revenue generating products and slightly higher average client asset values.
Corporate and Other Distributed Products. Operating revenues decreased by 17%, or $6.3 million, to $30.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 from the second quarter of 2011 largely reflecting a lower invested asset base following our stock repurchases. As is the case with the Term Life segment, the low interest rate environment did not meaningfully impact Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment results. Year-over-year operating losses before income taxes for this segment increased by $3.9 million to $10.4 million as lower investment income was partially offset by lower claims on the short-term disability products underwritten by our New York insurance subsidiary.
Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 35.8%, compared with 35.7% for the same quarter a year ago. Our effective income tax rate increased from 34.2% in the first quarter of 2012 due to a lower effective Canadian tax rate in the first quarter of 2012.
Capital and Liquidity
In April 2012, we repurchased 5.7 million shares of common stock from equity funds managed by Warburg Pincus for a purchase price of $150 million. As of June 30, 2012, our investments and cash totaled $2.02 billion, compared with $2.17 billion as of March 31, 2012. Our invested asset portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $166.7 million (net of unrealized losses of $6.2 million) at June 30, 2012, down from a net unrealized gain of $170.6 million (net of unrealized losses of $5.9 million) at March 31, 2012. Net realized gains for the quarter were $4.3 million, which included $0.1 million of other-than-temporary impairments.
Primerica Life Insurance Company’s statutory risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be in excess of 570% as of June 30, 2012, and well positioned to support existing operations and fund future growth.
Our debt-to-capital ratio remained low at 19.0% as of June 30, 2012. In July 2012, we completed our first public debt offering of $375 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2022. The notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.750%. The majority of the offering proceeds were used to repay Primerica’s $300 million note payable to a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. and the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes including share repurchases. If this offering had been completed as of June 30, 2012 our debt-to capital ratio would have been 22.7%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We also present operating revenues, operating income before income taxes, net operating income and adjusted stockholders’ equity. Operating revenues, operating income before income taxes and net operating income exclude the impact of realized investment gains and losses for all periods presented. Operating income before income taxes and net operating income exclude the expense associated with our IPO-related equity awards for all periods presented. Adjusted stockholders' equity excludes the impact of net unrealized gains and losses on invested assets for all periods presented. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of similar measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our financial performance. Furthermore, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of our core ongoing business. These measures have limitations, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures are attached to this release.
