Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 revenue was $2.19B, down 7% sequentially but up 3% YoY, while net income to common improved to $141M from a $236M loss in Q1, driven by a sharp reduction in benefits/expenses and favorable market risk benefit and derivative marks .
- Distributable Operating Earnings (DOE) of $311M fell 21% QoQ but rose 23% YoY; Annuity pre-tax DOE remained the growth engine at $372M, offset by weaker P&C and higher tax expense .

- Preferred capital update: Series B preferred rate will reset to 6.30% plus 5-year Treasury on Sep 1, 2025; a potential catalyst for ANG’s cost of capital and investor focus on spread dynamics .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Strong annuity production and investment spread: Total gross annuity sales rose 13% QoQ and 30% YoY to $4.28B, with non-GAAP net investment income of $1.24B and net spread of $370M (18% QoQ; 27% YoY) on average invested assets of $83.17B .

What Went Wrong
- Sequential revenue and DOE declines: Revenue fell 7% QoQ as net investment income moderated to $1.16B, and DOE declined 21% QoQ to $311M due to lower segment pre-tax DOE and higher tax expense .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential improvement in profitability driven by lower benefits/expenses and improved cost of funds; DOE remains robust but was down QoQ, suggesting some normalization after Q1’s elevated marks .
- Strong FIA-led sales and scaled average invested assets underpin spread economics; continued discipline in PRT and steady funding agreements diversify growth vectors .
- Earnings remain sensitive to MRB and derivative FV changes; volatility in marks can materially swing quarterly results—risk-aware positioning is warranted .
- Credit-quality metrics remain solid with high NAIC 1–2 exposure and manageable non-performing mortgage loans ($100M, ~1%) .
- Preferred capital update (Series B reset on 9/1/25) is a near-term catalyst influencing investor focus on dividend cost and spread management .
- Absence of formal guidance and call commentary limits forward visibility; focus on operational KPIs (sales mix, cost of funds, spread) and statutory ratings strength .
- Near-term trading: watch for rate path impacts on MRB/derivative marks and annuity option costs; medium-term thesis: spread capture via FIA growth and asset deployment against high-quality credit book .
