Author's Avatar
Nov 05, 2024

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, 2024.

“Our third quarter performance highlights continued strength within Global Housing with growing revenues and expense discipline. Global Lifestyle performed in-line with expectations, as we continued to prioritize strategic investments for growth in new and expanded Connected Living partnerships and saw further signs of stabilization within Global Automotive during the quarter. Across Assurant, we are delivering greater value to our clients and their end-consumers while establishing new growth opportunities,” said Assurant President and CEO Keith Demmings.

“Our year-to-date execution and performance enable us to increase our 2024 enterprise outlook. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA to increase low double-digits and Adjusted earnings per share to increase mid- to high-teens, both excluding reportable catastrophes. In addition, we expect to return $300 million in share repurchases in 2024, reflecting our strong capital position and risk management expertise,” 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 2024 Consolidated Results

  • GAAP net income decreased to $133.8 million, compared to third quarter 2023 of $190.1 million, primarily due to higher reportable catastrophes within Global Housing. This was partially offset by higher top-line growth in Homeowners within Global Housing.
  • GAAP net income per diluted share decreased to $2.55 compared to third quarter 2023 of $3.54. The decrease was primarily driven by the factors noted above.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1decreased to $246.9 million compared to the prior year period of $330.7 million. Results included $111.8 million of higher pre-tax reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 8 percent, or 9 percent on a constant currency basis5, to $385.1 million, primarily from higher earnings in Global Housing.
  • Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share4, increased 9 percent to $5.08 compared to the prior year period of $4.68, mainly from higher Global Housing earnings and the impact of share repurchases, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income from the Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments totaled $2.85 billion compared to $2.66 billion in third quarter 2023, up 7 percent, or 8 percent on a constant currency basis5, driven by growth across both segments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4 percent compared to third quarter 2023, or 1 percent on a constant currency basis5. The decline was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange and modestly lower results within Global Automotive, where elevated losses within select ancillary products were partially offset by higher investment income. On a constant currency basis, Connected Living5 was flat as investments in new client programs and capabilities to support future growth were offset by growth in mobile device protection programs from increased subscribers, particularly in the U.S.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 7 percent compared to third quarter 2023, or 8 percent on a constant currency basis5, primarily driven by Connected Living from mobile growth, including contributions from newly launched trade-in programs and global device protection programs.

  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 44 percent compared to third quarter 2023. Results included $110.6 million of higher pre-tax reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 20 percent, primarily from continued top-line growth within Homeowners, including higher policies in-force from new lender-placed programs and portfolios and increased voluntary insurance market pressure, and $30.1 million of favorable year-over-year prior period reserve development. The increase was partially offset by a $27.5 million non-run rate adjustment related to a change in earnings pattern assumptions.
  • Net earned premiums, fees and other income increased 9 percent compared to third quarter 2023, mainly driven by Homeowners top-line growth, including growth in policies in-force and higher average premiums within lender-placed as well as growth across various specialty products, partially offset by the non-run rate adjustment mentioned above.

Mid- to high-teens growth

  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes6, to increase by low double-digits, led by strong growth in Global Housing and modest growth in Global Lifestyle.
    • Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes6, to deliver strong growth, mainly driven by top-line growth in Homeowners, favorable non-catastrophe loss experience, benefits from expense leverage and lower catastrophe reinsurance premiums. Year-to-date 2024 included $85 million of favorable prior year reserve development. In fourth quarter 2024, Hurricane Milton is expected to be a reportable catastrophe event with losses in the range of $75 to $110 million pre-tax.
    • Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA to increase modestly. The company continues to expect organic growth and improved profitability in Connected Living programs, partially offset by investments to support growth, including new client and program implementation expenses. We now expect Global Automotive to be down due to continued loss pressure from inflation and elevated losses in select ancillary products. Implemented rate actions are expected to drive improvement over time. We continue to monitor the impact from macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, foreign exchange and interest rate levels, which have impacted and may continue to impact the pace and timing of growth.
    • Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA loss to now approximate $115 million.
  • Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share6growth rate to increase by mid- to high-teens. The company now expects an effective tax rate of approximately 18 to 20 percent and depreciation expense of approximately $135 million, and continues to expect interest expense of approximately $107 million and amortization of purchased intangible assets of approximately $70 million.
  • Business segment dividends are now expected to be below two-thirds of segment Adjusted EBITDA, including reportable catastrophes6. 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, for Assurant and Global Housing, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, 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 depreciation expense, interest 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 $135 million, $107 million, $70 million and 18 to 20 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.
