Voya Financial highlights critical role employers play in supporting financial protection for workersJuly 6, 2026 1:30 PM
Business Wire Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) a leading retirement, employee benefits and investment management company, today released new thought leadership examining the evolving landscape of paid family and medical leave (PFML) and the broader implications for workforce financial security. The white paper, Protecting the disability continuum: why Short-Term Disability coverage is essential in a Paid Family & Medical Leave World, points to a clear conclusion: while state-based and government-provided benefits are a meaningful step forward, they may not be sufficient on their own to meet employees’ financial needs during times of leave for a disabling condition– underscoring the important role employers can play. As more states adopt PFML programs, employees are gaining access to baseline income protection during life events such as illness, caregiving, or bonding with a new child. While these programs often provide partial wage replacement, they are subject to caps and eligibility limitations and can create complexity for both workers and employers. As a result, employees may remain financially vulnerable at the very moments they need stability most. Voya’s perspective highlights that employers are uniquely positioned to support employees, both by offering income protection through supplemental disability income insurance options and by delivering an integrated, supportive experience for their workforce. “Government programs are an important foundation, but they were never designed to fully replace income or address the broader financial realities employees may face,” said Maleiha Russell, VP, Life, Disability and Supplemental Health, Voya Financial. “Employers have a powerful opportunity—and responsibility—to build on that foundation with solutions that offer impactful benefits, simplify the claims experience and ultimately help employees stay focused on what matters most during critical life moments.” Research presented in the white paper also underscores that investing in employee financial protection is not just the right thing to do—it’s becoming a business imperative. Based on this, employers that take a more proactive, holistic approach to benefits have an opportunity to realize measurable results, including: Our research shows that 62% of employees who took leave said they trusted their employer more afterward, and 90% said they were very or somewhat likely to recommend their employer’s leave benefits to others. Enhanced business continuity – Better-supported employees experience smoother transitions during leave, reducing disruption. Greater workforce resilience – Integrated solutions help employees navigate life events with an opportunity to realize less financial impact and uncertainty. In today’s environment, where financial stress is seen to have a meaningful impact to employee well-being and performance, Voya emphasizes the importance of moving beyond a “minimum coverage” mindset. Instead, employers may wish to consider more comprehensive strategies that layer voluntary and employer-sponsored benefits, streamline the administrative experience, and align leave programs with broader financial wellness initiatives. Our approach is intended to bring together benefits, administration and guidance to help employers design solutions that meet the evolving needs of their workforce—and help employees be better protected, more confident and more prepared for life’s unexpected moments.

White paper based on Voya Financial Consumer Insights & Research survey conducted April 2-28, 2026, with Morning Consult among 923 employees who have taken leave in the past two years, 157 employees who only considered taking leave, and 178 employer decision-makers at organizations offering leave/absence management.

New research from Voya sheds light on the opportunities public sector employees have to improve their retirement confidenceJune 26, 2026 8:30 AM
Business Wire Nearly 80 percent of government employees expressed interest in receiving guidance to help them feel more confident about their investment decisions. Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) today released new research1 examining the factors shaping retirement confidence among public employees, finding that while government workers report higher levels of retirement preparedness than their private-sector peers, opportunities remain to improve outcomes through greater engagement, education and access to guidance. The research, Beyond the Pension: What Really Drives Retirement Confidence for Public Employees, found that 89% of government employees report being prepared for retirement, compared with 81% of non-government employees. Voya is the number one provider of 457(b) deferred compensation plans for government entities serving approximately 4 million plan participants with an average government client tenure of 31 years as of December 31, 20252. In addition to its strong governmental client retention, Voya has experienced meaningful organic growth, having on-boarded approximately $30 billion and 1 million new participants across multiple government plans from January 2025 through first quarter 2026.3 “The good news is that public sector employees often have a strong retirement foundation through their pension benefits,” said Gavin Gruenberg, Government Market Retirement Sales Leader, Voya Financial. “But our research shows that retirement confidence is influenced by more than a pension alone. Employees want help connecting the dots between their pension, personal savings, day-to-day financial priorities and long-term retirement goals.” Financial guidance drives confidence Among the most significant findings, government employees working with a financial advisor were approximately 1.6 times more likely to report increased confidence in meeting their retirement goals over the past two years than those who didn’t. At the same time, nearly 80% of government employees expressed interest in receiving guidance to help them feel more confident about their investment decisions. Pension literacy remains a critical opportunity The research also identified pension literacy as a meaningful driver of retirement confidence. Government employees who knew their pension plan tier were substantially more likely to report increased confidence in their retirement outlook than those who didn’t. Yet more than one in five government employees surveyed said they were unsure which pension tier they belonged to. The benefit of a pension is just one income source to consider. Public employees need to understand how their pension, savings, and Social Security work together. By understanding the role each plays, employees can make strategic decisions that help build lasting retirement confidence. Financial pressures continue to compete with retirement savings More than half of government employees cited rising everyday expenses as a barrier to saving more for retirement, while just under one-third identified insufficient income as a challenge (significantly more than non-government workers). The findings suggest retirement planning conversations increasingly need to account for broader financial wellness concerns, including emergency savings, debt management, healthcare costs and housing expenses. AI is emerging as a financial education tool Nearly three-quarters of government employees reported trusting AI tools to help create a budget, while more than two-thirds said they trust AI to assist with developing a financial plan. However, trust declines when it comes to more complex investment-related decisions, and older workers remain significantly less likely to rely on AI for financial guidance. “The findings point to opportunities for employers to leverage technology while maintaining access to human support and expertise,” said Gruenberg. “The opportunity for employers is not to compete with technology, but to help employees use it responsibly while ensuring they still have access to personalized guidance when they need it.” Digital engagement remains an untapped opportunity The research also found strong interest in digital retirement planning tools among public employees with near-universal interest in tools that allow them to view pension and defined-contribution retirement savings information in one place. At the same time, many participants reported limited engagement with existing retirement plan websites and mobile applications, suggesting awareness and accessibility may be as important as the tools themselves. “Our research showed that 74% of government employees are very interested in online tools that allow them to review both pension plans and defined contribution plans in one place. The key is to meet employees wherever they are on their retirement journey to help them increase their financial confidence,” said Gruenberg. Voya Customer Research & Insights survey with Morning Consult conducted between September 17 – October 9, 2025, among 598 full-time employees (n=198 government and n=400 non-government) ages 35-70 with annual income greater than $50k and investable assets great than $75k.

Voya Financial Welcomes Executive Order Promoting Retirement-Savings Access for American WorkersMay 1, 2026 8:30 AM
Business Wire
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) a leading retirement, employee benefits and investment management company, today welcomed an executive order that facilitates retirement-savings access for millions of Americans who currently lack adequate options. The order directs the U.S. Treasury Department to establish a new platform highlighting high-quality, low-cost, private-sector IRAs, which the company called a meaningful step forward in expanding retirement savings opportunities.


The platform would provide individuals with information about enrolling in private sector individual retirement accounts, based on factors such as low cost and no contribution or minimum balance requirements. For taxpayers who qualify, the new accounts may enable them to take advantage of the Saver’s Match, a direct Treasury matching contribution of up to $1,000 annually, that takes effect January 1, 2027.


“At Voya, we have long believed that every American deserves a clear path to financial confidence, and that starts with access,” said Jay Kaduson, CEO, Workplace Solutions, Voya Financial. “The newly announced Treasury platform directly addresses one of the most persistent gaps in our retirement system — the millions of individuals who want to save but simply don’t have a straightforward way to do it. We welcome this initiative and look forward to engaging with the Treasury Department as this program moves forward.”


“The Saver’s Match is a powerful incentive that removes income as a barrier to building retirement security, and the new platform gives people a practical way to act on it,” said Amy Vaillancourt, President, Retirement, Voya Financial. “Voya looks forward to evaluating how our retirement and wealth management solutions could support this framework, while closely monitoring Treasury guidance as it develops.”


Voya will continue to track regulatory developments in response to the Executive Order and will provide updates as appropriate.

Voya Financial supports DOL’s proposed framework for advancing retirement investment choiceApril 1, 2026 2:45 PM
Business Wire
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) welcomes the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed rule, Fiduciary Duties in Selecting Designated Investment Alternatives, as an important step toward the thoughtful expansion of retirement investment choice.


The proposal emphasizes the importance of a robust evaluation process for investments, without endorsing or excluding any specific asset class. The focus on providing a stable framework is consistent with longstanding ERISA principles that have served plan sponsors, fiduciaries and participants well as they assess appropriate options for their plans.


“At Voya, we believe expanding investment choice requires strong fiduciary governance, participant education and the involvement of financial professionals who can help ensure appropriate use of these solutions,” said Amy Vaillancourt, president of Retirement at Voya Financial. “When it comes to private market investments, focusing on professionally managed structures and layering protections such as liquidity management and valuation transparency is essential. Voya appreciates the proposal’s practical approach, which strengthens the ability of fiduciaries to make well-informed decisions about investment options and promotes a stable framework within which retirement plans can operate for the benefit of their participants.”


Plan sponsors and participants are increasingly interested in a range of investments beyond traditional public market investments as a way to enhance diversification and potential returns. Clear regulatory standards are essential to ensure these options can be incorporated responsibly. The Department’s proposal outlines a disciplined, transparent framework for evaluation, including factors such as performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, benchmarking, and complexity.


As a retirement recordkeeper and investment partner, Voya is proud to support plan sponsors and financial professionals with the resources and operational tools they need to carry out their responsibilities with confidence. We look forward to being active contributors to the public dialogue around this important proposal.

Voya Investment Management and Pomona Capital Digitize Investment Access to the Pomona Investment Fund (PIF) Through Agreement with TemplumMarch 4, 2026 9:05 AM
Business Wire
New “Invest Now” feature and white label deployment from Templum enables eligible investors to seamlessly research, subscribe, and invest through a fully digital experience


Voya Investment Management (Voya IM), the asset management business of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), and Pomona Capital, a global private equity firm affiliated with Voya, today announced an enhanced digital experience for the Pomona Investment Fund (PIF). The digital experience is powered by private markets technology from Templum.


The initiative gives investors direct access to PIF while maintaining the investment rigor, regulatory oversight, and operational discipline required for institutional-quality private equity. The enhanced digital experience introduces an “Invest Now” feature on the PIF landing page that connects investors to a secure, white-labeled portal. Through this portal, eligible investors can complete onboarding, execute subscription documents and place orders in a streamlined, end-to-end digital workflow.


“As investors look to diversify their portfolios, access to high-quality private market strategies must evolve with them,” said Michael Granoff, Founder and CEO of Pomona Capital. “Our collaboration with Templum leads to an improved experience for everyone involved in the investment process.”


Pomona was an early leader in expanding private equity access for individual investors, launching PIF in 2015 and delivering a 10-year annualized net return of 13.3% since inception.1 The fund is a secondary-focused, registered private equity vehicle designed to address the structural and access challenges individual investors face when investing in the asset class. PIF primarily invests in seasoned secondary interests, complemented by select primary and direct commitments, with a strategy focused on long-term capital appreciation and a lower risk profile.


With a $25,000 minimum investment and investor-friendly tax reporting, PIF offers simplified access to private equity. Today, the fund has more than 13,000 individual investors and approximately $2 billion in assets under management. Templum’s technology will help PIF meet investors’ growing demand for direct access to online investment research and subscription capabilities.


“This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how eligible investors access institutional private equity,” said Gregory Khost, Head of Intermediary Sales at Voya IM. “By automating the full private markets investment process—from onboarding and eligibility verification through subscription processing and compliance—we are delivering private equity with greater efficiency, transparency, and confidence. Eligible investors can conduct research as well as transact in an institutional-quality private equity fund on the same digital platform, without compromising regulatory standards.”


Private equity has traditionally been accessible primarily to large institutions due to operational complexity, regulatory requirements, and reliance on manual processes. As the investor base for private market investments expands, scalable digital infrastructure has become essential to meeting the increase in demand responsibly.


By modernizing access, Pomona Capital and Voya IM can reach eligible investors who prefer a streamlined digital approach, while maintaining rigorous governance standards:



Simplified access to top-tier private equity

Streamlines PIF’s subscription process for eligible investors seeking portfolio diversification amid ongoing market volatility.




Seamless research-to-transaction experience

Investors can review fund information, performance, and offering materials, and initiate the investment process from a single, centralized destination.




Reduced barriers to entry

Distribution beyond traditional gatekeepers by providing digital access to a premier asset class, while maintaining investor eligibility standards.



“This initiative reflects a broader industry shift toward the digitization and democratization of private markets—while upholding strong regulatory oversight and investor protections,” said Chris Pallotta, CEO of Templum. “The collaboration arrives at a pivotal moment as investors seek diversification and firms seek scalable ways to reach new audiences. This is where Pomona Capital and Voya Investment Management come in, delivering a better investment experience with strong investment products across our connected partner network.”

Prior to that date, the performance of Class I Shares (10-year returns) is that of Class A Shares, which have higher expenses than Class I shares but represent interests in the same portfolio of securities.

Voya Financial Announces MyCompass Target Date Investment Solutions Reach $10 Billion AUM MilestoneFebruary 18, 2026 8:59 AM
Business Wire
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that the suite of MyCompass Investment Solutions offered on its recordkeeping platform has reached $10 billion in assets under management (AUM). Launched in the fall of 2019 by Great Gray Trust Company (Great Gray) as trustee, the suite of MyCompass target date funds is available to many of Voya’s Retirement clients. Created to address the unique retirement needs of individual plan participants, MyCompass achieved $2 billion in AUM approximately two years after launch demonstrating the demand for target date products.


“According to Morningstar, over $4.3 trillion in assets are invested in target dates and collective investment trusts as of 2025—showing that these retirement options continue to be popular with employees and investors across America,” said Allison Dirksen, head, Retirement Distribution, Voya Financial. “That said, when MyCompass was designed in collaboration with Great Gray, we knew that a one size fits all approach wouldn’t work to meet the unique goals and needs for plan participants. Therefore, MyCompass provides a number of investment options which underscores our commitment to provide holistic financial wellness solutions that can help all Americans reach a secure financial future.”


Currently, the MyCompass suite consists of three collective investment trust (CIT) target date series, all of which are trusteed by Great Gray and allocate their assets among investment funds managed by industry leaders and include a guaranteed investment annuity contract or stable value product issued by Voya. These suites include:



MyCompass Target Date Blend Series: A sophisticated multi-manager target-date solution based on Voya Investment Management’s (Voya IM) glidepath that combines multiple asset classes, institutional-quality managers, and both active and passive strategies to deliver diversified allocations aligned with participants' retirement dates.




MyCompass Index Fund Series: Combines Great Gray’s retirement planning capabilities along with glidepath services from BlackRock, including Voya IM’s own industry leading stable-value capabilities. In addition to a competitive expense structure and integrated enrollment experience, the solution also offers participants added protection against market volatility and uncertainty.




MyCompass American Funds Series: A collaboration among Great Gray, Voya IM’s and Capital Group to deliver a target date investment approach that draws upon the American Funds Target Date Retirement Series distinctive glidepath approach. The series features a "glide path within a glide path" that adjusts the mix of fixed income and equities exposures over time to generate returns and manage risk. The building blocks are American Funds actively managed equity and fixed income, along with an allocation to Voya IM's industry leading stable-value capabilities.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds’ Plan. The Funds’ estimate that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Funds is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Funds’ investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds’ investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Funds will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.


Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.


Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar investments, investors' expectations for future distribution changes, the clarity of the Fund's investment strategy and future return expectations, and investors' confidence in the underlying markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.


Certain statements made on behalf of the Funds in this release are forward-looking statements. The Funds’ actual future results may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including but not limited to a decline in value in equity markets in general or the Funds' investments specifically. Neither the Funds nor Voya Investment Management undertake any responsibility to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement.


This information should not be used as a basis for legal and/or tax advice. In any specific case, the parties involved should seek the guidance and advice of their own legal and tax counsel.

Voya Financial announces fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 resultsFebruary 3, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) announced today its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results:



Full-year 2025 net income available to common shareholders of $613 million, or $6.29 per diluted share, including $136 million, or $1.41 per diluted share in the fourth-quarter.



Full-year 2025 after-tax adjusted operating earnings1 of $861 million, or $8.85 per diluted share, including after-tax adjusted operating earnings1 of $188 million, or $1.94 per diluted share in the fourth quarter.



Delivered over $1 billion in pre-tax adjusted operating earnings1 for the full-year.



Generated approximately $775 million of excess capital for the full-year, a 19% increase over the prior year.



“We delivered strong results in 2025, exceeding our targets for adjusted pre-tax earnings and cash generation, reflecting the strength of our diversified businesses, our disciplined execution, and the focus on our customers,” said Heather Lavallee, chief executive officer, Voya Financial. “Leveraging the strengths and connections across our Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits businesses continues to support our growth and enhance the value we deliver for our customers, evidenced by our Retirement and Investment Management AUM surpassing $1 trillion in assets in the year.”


“For the full year, Voya delivered more than 20% growth in adjusted operating EPS, supported by consistent organic growth across both Retirement and Investment Management, our acquisition of OneAmerica, and margin improvement in Employee Benefits. As we look ahead, our strong free-cash-flow generation and continued work to align our solutions with the evolving needs of employers, employees and intermediaries positions us to enter the year with solid momentum and a clear set of priorities. Our vision — clearing the path to financial confidence and a more fulfilling life — guides how we serve our customers and create long-term value for all of our stakeholders,” Lavallee added.



_____________________________


1 This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating earnings. More information on non-GAAP measures, and reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, can be found in the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and reconciliation tables at the end of this press release, and in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the company’s Quarterly Investor Supplement, which is available at investors.voya.com.


Fourth-Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results

Fourth-quarter 2025 net income available to common shareholders was $136 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared with $93 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in fourth-quarter 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher after-tax adjusted operating earnings.


Fourth-quarter 2025 after-tax adjusted operating earnings were $188 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, compared with $138 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, in fourth-quarter 2024. The increase was due to higher earnings across all segments, partially offset by higher accruals in Corporate for performance-based compensation, reflecting strong results in the full-year. The fourth-quarter 2025 earnings per share also benefited from reduced share count from share repurchases.


Full-Year 2025 Consolidated Results

Full-year 2025 net income available to common shareholders was $613 million, or $6.29 per diluted share, compared with $626 million, or $6.17 per diluted share, in full-year 2024. The decrease reflects the net investment gains and tax benefits associated with divested businesses in the prior period, which did not repeat, and higher expenses in the current period associated with severance and acquisitions, mostly offset by higher after-tax adjusted operating earnings.


Full-year 2025 after-tax adjusted operating earnings were $861 million, or $8.85 per diluted share, compared with $736 million, or $7.25 per diluted share, in full-year 2024. The full-year 2025 included higher earnings across all segments, supported by an improved adjusted operating margin in Employee Benefits, partially offset by higher accruals in Corporate for performance-based compensation. Full-year 2025 earnings per share also benefited from a reduced share count from share repurchases.


Business Segment Results

Retirement

Retirement fourth-quarter 2025 and full-year 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $255 million and $959 million, respectively. This reflects an increase of $45 million over the prior-year quarter and $139 million over the prior year, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the acquired business from OneAmerica, higher alternative investment income and strong business execution.


Net revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 grew 17.1% compared with the prior-year period due to organic growth, business acquired from OneAmerica, higher alternative investment income, and positive capital markets.


Adjusted operating margin for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 was 39.8% and was broadly consistent with the prior-year period. This reflects continued expense discipline, while investing for growth.


Total client assets as of Dec. 31, 2025 were $797 billion, up 30% compared with Dec. 31, 2024, primarily due to assets onboarded from OneAmerica, the record organic Defined Contribution net inflows of $28 billion, and positive capital markets.


Investment Management

Investment Management fourth-quarter 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings, excluding noncontrolling interest, were $72 million, compared to $66 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher fee-based revenues benefiting from strong business momentum and positive capital markets, partially offset by higher incentive compensation tied to results.


Investment Management full-year 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings, excluding noncontrolling interest, were $226 million, up from $213 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher net revenues from business growth, partially offset by higher variable compensation.


Net revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 grew 4.9% compared with the prior-year period, pushing revenues for Investment Management to over $1 billion for the first time in firm history.


Adjusted operating margin for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 was 28.3% and was consistent with the prior-year period.


Investment Management generated net inflows of $1.2 billion (excluding divested businesses) during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2025. For the full year ended Dec. 31, the company generated a record $14.6 billion of net inflows (excluding divested businesses), representing an organic growth of 4.8%. Our overall assets under management were $360 billion as of Dec. 31, 2025 compared to $339 billion as of Dec. 31, 2024.


Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits fourth-quarter 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating loss was $10 million, improved from a loss of $102 million in the prior-year period. The improvement was driven by higher underwriting margins in Group Life and Stop Loss, including an increase in reserves for Stop Loss.


Employee Benefits full-year 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $152 million, up from $40 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to net underwriting margin improvement for Stop Loss, partly offset by higher administrative expenses due to investments in the business.


Net revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 increased 14.7% compared with the prior-year period. Adjusted operating margin for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, was 13.6% compared with 4.1% in the prior-year period.


Employee Benefits fourth-quarter 2025 annualized in-force premiums and fees declined 5% to $3.6 billion compared with the prior-year period. The decline reflects intentional prioritization of margin improvement over growth, through pricing discipline and enhanced risk selection within the Stop Loss business.


Corporate

Corporate fourth-quarter 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating losses, excluding noncontrolling interest, were $90 million, compared with $27 million of losses in the prior-year period. Corporate full-year 2025 pre-tax adjusted operating losses, excluding noncontrolling interest, were $299 million, compared with $203 million of losses in the prior year. The higher losses were primarily driven by higher accruals for performance-based compensation, reflecting strong full-year 2025 results.


Capital

For the fourth-quarter 2025, the company generated approximately $175 million of excess capital, and returned $120 million and $44 million of excess capital to shareholders through share repurchases and common stock dividends, respectively. Share repurchases included delivery of the remaining $20 million of shares from the third-quarter accelerated share repurchase agreement.


For the full-year ending 2025, the company generated approximately $775 million of excess capital which was approximately 90% of after-tax adjusted operating earnings. The company returned $200 million and $174 million of excess capital to shareholders through share repurchases and common stock dividends, respectively.


As of Dec. 31, 2025, the company's excess capital position was approximately $0.4 billion and remaining share repurchase authorization was $562 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes is a meaningful measure used by management to evaluate our business and segment performance. This measure enhances the understanding of our financial results by focusing on the operating performance and trends of the underlying core business segments. It excludes results from exited businesses and items that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions or other factors which distort the ability to make a meaningful evaluation of our segments. We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes as we do for the directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure Income (loss) before income taxes. Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes does not replace Income (loss) before income taxes as the U.S. GAAP measure of our consolidated results of operations. Therefore, we believe that it is useful to evaluate both measures when reviewing our financial and operating performance. Each segment’s Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes is calculated by adjusting Income (loss) before income taxes for the following items:



Net investment gains (losses);



Income (loss) related to businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment;



Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to which we are not economically entitled;



Dividend payments made to preferred shareholders are included as reductions to reflect the Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes that are available to common shareholders;



Other adjustments may include the following items:


Income (loss) related to early extinguishment of debt;



Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets;



Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as well as contingent consideration fair value adjustments;



Expected return on plan assets net of interest costs associated with our qualified defined benefit pension plan and immediate recognition of net actuarial gains (losses) related to all of our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and gains (losses) from plan amendments and curtailments; and



Other items not indicative of normal operations or performance of our segments or that may be related to events such as capital or organizational restructurings, including certain costs related to debt and equity offerings, acquisition / merger integration expenses, severance and other third-party expenses associated with such activities, and expenses attributable to vacant real estate.






Sources of Earnings

We analyze our segment performance based on the sources of earnings. We believe that this supplemental information is useful because we use it to analyze our business and it can help investors understand the main drivers of Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes. The sources of earnings include:



Investment spread and other investment income.



Fee-based margin.



Net underwriting gain (loss).



Administrative expenses.



Premium taxes, fees and assessments.



Net commissions.



DAC/VOBA and other intangibles amortization.



Net Revenue and Adjusted Operating Margin



Adjusted operating margin is defined as Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes divided by net revenue.



Net revenue is the sum of investment spread and other investment income, fee-based margin, and net underwriting gain (loss).



The primary adjustment to derive Net revenue is reducing Adjusted operating revenues by “Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners / policyholders”. This adjustment primarily reflects the interest credited to customers for general account products in our Retirement and Employee Benefits segments and the benefits paid to customers in our Employee Benefits segment for Group Life, Stop Loss, and Voluntary products. This adjustment allows us to report to investors our investment spread and our net underwriting gain and loss, which are meaningful measures used by management to evaluate our business and segment performance. Investment spread informs investors how we set crediting rates relative to the yield we earn on our general account investments and net underwriting gain and loss informs investors how we set premiums relative to incurred benefits to policyholders (“loss ratio”).



Forward-Looking and Other Cautionary Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The company does not assume any obligation to revise or update these statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or changes in strategy.
