Unum Group Reports Q3 2025 Earnings with Strong Core Performance and Significant Reserve Adjustments

UNM

Earnings

Share Buyback

Accounting Changes

Unum Group reported Q3 2025 adjusted after-tax operating income per share of $2.09, with core operations premium growing 2.9% and sales increasing 12.2%, while maintaining an ROE near 20% for core businesses.
An annual reserve assumption review resulted in a net increase in reserves of $478.5 million pre-tax or $377.8 million after-tax, primarily due to the removal of morbidity and mortality improvement assumptions and the discontinuation of new employee coverage on existing group long-term care cases, partially offset by an expanded premium rate increase program. This resulted in an approximate $0.10 impact on Q3 EPS.
The company's capital position remains robust, with holding company liquidity at $2 billion and an RBC ratio of 455%. Unum Group returned nearly $1 billion to shareholders in the first nine months of 2025, comprised of $750 million in share repurchases and $230 million in dividends, projecting a total capital return of approximately $1.3 billion for the full year.
Management expressed confidence that no future capital contributions will be necessary for the closed block, following strategic actions including a long-term care reinsurance transaction and active management of the block.

Unum Reports Q3 2025 Earnings, Details Closed Block Strategic Actions and Capital Returns

UNM

Earnings

Share Buyback

Dividends

Unum reported Q3 2025 earnings per share of $2.09, which fell below overall expectations primarily due to volatility in the closed block, while core businesses exceeded expectations.
Core operations demonstrated strong performance with year-to-date premium growth of 4% and Q3 sales growth of 12.2%, contributing to a return on equity for core operations near 20%.
The company undertook significant strategic actions related to its closed block, including a net increase in reserves of $377.8 million after tax from an annual assumption review, and the successful closing of a long-term care (LTC) reinsurance transaction that ceded 20% of LTC reserves.
Key changes in closed block assumptions included removing the morbidity and mortality improvement assumption (adding approximately $850 million to reserves) and discontinuing new employee coverage on existing group LTC cases effective February 1, 2026 (adding approximately $200 million to reserves), partially offset by an expanded rate increase program (reducing reserves by approximately $525 million). Despite these GAAP reserve impacts, the company is confident that no future capital contributions will be necessary for LTC reserves.
Unum maintains a robust capital position with $2 billion in holding company liquidity and an RBC ratio of 455%, having returned nearly $1 billion to shareholders year-to-date through $750 million in share repurchases and $230 million in dividends. The company expects to return approximately $1.3 billion to shareholders in 2025.
