During the second quarter of 2026, estimated annualized issued premium of $89.9 million decreased 9% compared to the prior year period. The Company issued 78,904 new life insurance policies, representing 12% fewer policies than the prior year period, with total face amount issued of $27.7 billion.

The current year period included a $4.9 million remeasurement gain compared to a $5.7 million remeasurement gain during the prior year period. The benefits and claims ratio was 57.9% and the DAC amortization and insurance commissions ratio was 12.3%, in line with the prior year period. The insurance expense ratio was 8.4% compared to 7.6% in the prior year period. The Term Life segment operating margin was 21.3%.

Investment and Savings Products (ISP)

During the second quarter of 2026, total product sales were $4.4 billion, a 23% increase compared to the prior year period. Strong client demand across product lines and favorable equity market performance contributed to growth in both sales and client asset values. Client asset values ended the quarter at $140 billion, up 16% year-over-year, while flows remained positive with net inflows of $397 million during the second quarter of 2026.

Second quarter ISP revenues of $361 million increased 21% compared to the prior year period, while income before income taxes of $104 million increased 31% year-over-year. Sales-based commission revenues increased 17%, largely in line with commissionable sales. Asset-based commission revenues increased 28%, outpacing the 19% increase in average client asset values due to a favorable product mix, including continued growth in U.S. managed accounts and Canadian mutual funds distributed under the principal distributor model.

Corporate and Other Distributed Products

During the second quarter of 2026, the Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment recorded pre-tax adjusted operating income of $3.8 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher net investment income reflecting continued growth in the invested asset portfolio.

Taxes

Capital

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased $135 million of common stock and paid approximately $37 million in dividends, returning $172 million to stockholders. Year-to-date capital returned to stockholders totaled approximately $352 million.

The Board of Directors approved a dividend of $1.20 per share payable on September 14, 2026, to stockholders of record on August 21, 2026. Primerica Life Insurance Company's estimated statutory risk-based capital ratio was approximately 440% as of June 30, 2026.

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.

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.
