Analysis
Genworth reported second-quarter net income of $47M, or $0.12 per diluted share, matching the prior quarter and compared with $51M, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted operating income excluding the Closed Block was $112M, compared with $109M in the prior quarter and $112M in the prior year. Adjusted operating income excluding the Closed Block per diluted share rose to $0.29 from $0.28 in the prior quarter and $0.27 in the prior year, while weighted-average diluted shares were 386.3, compared with 393.7 and 417.5, respectively.
Enact remained the central earnings and capital-return contributor. Its adjusted operating income was $143M, compared with $140M in the prior quarter and $141M in the prior year. Primary new insurance written was $15,199M, with reported growth of 19% versus the prior quarter and 15% versus the prior year, while insurance in-force reached $274.0 billion and was reported up 2% from the prior year. The 14% loss ratio included a $37 million pre-tax reserve release related to favorable cure performance and loss mitigation activities. Enact's PMIERs sufficiency ratio was 161%, or $1,894 million above requirements.
Investment results supported the consolidated result. Net investment income, net of taxes, was $660 million, compared with $605 million in the prior quarter and $634 million in the prior year, primarily due to limited partnerships and U.S. Government Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. Net investment gains, net of taxes, increased net income by $29 million, versus losses of $21 million in the prior quarter and $22 million in the prior year. The current-quarter gains were driven primarily by mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities.
The Closed Block was the principal offset. Its adjusted operating loss widened to $(110)M from $(32)M in the prior quarter and $(44)M in the prior year, primarily due to a $127 million pre-tax A/E loss. Management also cited lower LTC terminations, seasonally lower mortality, and claims growth as the block ages. Statutory pre-tax income was $6M, with LTC reporting a $(82)M statutory pre-tax loss. The GLIC consolidated RBC ratio declined to 286% from 289% in the prior quarter, primarily from LTC losses and higher required capital on claims.
Capital allocation was active, funded in part by $103M of Enact capital returns. Genworth repurchased $62M of shares in the quarter at an average price of $8.74 per share, bringing cumulative repurchases since program inception through June 30, 2026 to $918M. Holding company cash and liquid assets were $215M, including approximately $81 million held for future obligations. The release provided no financial guidance, leaving the next stated operational milestones as the planned 3Q Care Assurance Worksite launch and further CareScout network expansion.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter results reflect continued execution across our strategic priorities. Enact generated strong capital returns that supported our share repurchase program, we expanded the CareScout platform across home care and senior living communities, and we further strengthened the self-sustainability of the Closed Block. Together, these actions position Genworth to continue to drive sustainable long-term growth and create value for shareholders.
