Strong Double-Digit Earnings Growth
Year-to-Date Led by Continued Outperformance in Global Housing
Company Increases 2024 Outlook to Deliver Low
Double-Digit Growth in Adjusted EBITDA with Mid- to High-teens
Growth in Adjusted EPS, Both Ex. Catastrophes
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 EBITDA1 decreased 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.

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.

million.
- Share repurchases and common stock dividends totaled
$138 million in third quarter 2024. During third quarter 2024,
Assurant repurchased approximately 530 thousand shares of common
stock for $100 million and paid $38 million in common stock
dividends. From October 1 through November 1, 2024, the company
repurchased approximately 103 thousand shares for $20 million, for
a total of $200 million in share repurchases year-to-date. $475
million remains under the current repurchase authorization.

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 share6 growth 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.
