American National Group Inc. (ANG-PB)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

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 .
  • Sales mix favoring Fixed Index annuities continued: retail FIA sales rose 37% QoQ and 69% YoY to $2.51B; Funding agreements added $400M, though PRT slowed to $262M QoQ (-31%) .
  • 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 .
  • Benefits/expenses compression: Total benefits and expenses fell 23% QoQ to $1.99B, supported by a reversal in market risk benefits FV to $(47)M and lower operating expenses ($216M, -21% QoQ) .
  • Credit quality and balance sheet resilience: AFS fixed maturities are ~94% of the AFS book; corporate debt NAIC 1–2 is 97% of the U.S. corporate portfolio, and commercial MBS NAIC 1 is 85% (June 30) .

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 .
  • PRT slowdown: PRT sales decreased 31% QoQ to $262M (and 4% YoY), reflecting market cadence and pricing discipline amid rate/credit cycles .
  • Derivative/insurance mark volatility persists: Change in FV of insurance-related derivatives fell to $131M from $199M, while MRB FV swung to $(47)M from $361M in Q1, underscoring continued earnings sensitivity to hedge/valuation dynamics .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus for EPS and revenue was unavailable via S&P Global for Q2 2025; the S&P feed did not return consensus counts or means for EPS or revenue. As a result, estimate comparisons cannot be made. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
  • Actual revenue recognized for Q2 2025: $2.186B (company 8-K supplement), consistent with S&P’s “actual” field . Values retrieved from S&P Global.

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 .
