Dow Jones05-06 04:15
LANSING, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 05, 2026-- 

Jackson Financial Inc. (NYSE: JXN) (Jackson(R)) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Key Highlights

   --  Retail annuity sales1 of $5.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 
      31% from the first quarter of 2025, reflecting continued strong demand 
      across our product suite 
 
          --  Variable annuity sales1 of $2.5 billion were down 6% from the 
             first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower sales of 
             products with lifetime benefits 
 
          --  Registered index-linked annuity $(RILA)$ sales of $2.0 billion 
             were up 68% from the first quarter of 2025 
 
          --  Fixed and fixed index annuity (FIA) sales of $756 million were 
             up 335% from the first quarter of 2025, driven by Jackson Income 
             AssuranceSM, our recently launched FIA 
 
 
 
   --  Robust sales for spread products are supported by capabilities added at 
      PPM America, Inc. (PPM), our asset management subsidiary, to source 
      higher yielding assets. These sales, combined with a focus on growing 
      third-party business, contributed to an 18% increase in PPM assets under 
      management (AUM) from the first quarter of 2025. 
 
   --  Net (loss) attributable to $Jackson Financial Inc(JXN-A)$. common shareholders 
      of $(435) million, or $(6.24) per diluted share in the first quarter of 
      2026, compared to $(35) million, or $(0.48) per diluted share in the 
      first quarter of 2025 
 
   --  Adjusted operating earnings2 of $361 million, or $5.15 per diluted 
      share in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $376 million, or $5.10 
      per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting 
      higher spread income from growth in average RILA, FIA, and Institutional 
      AUM and a reduced share count due to repurchases, partially offset by 
      higher general and administrative (G&A) expenses 
 
   --  Adjusted operating earnings per diluted share excluding notable items3 
      of $5.94 in the first quarter of 2026, up from $5.05 in the first quarter 
      of 2025 
 
   --  Robust capital position at the operating company, with total adjusted 
      capital of $5.5 billion as of March 31, 2026, and an estimated risk-based 
      capital (RBC) ratio at Jackson National Life Insurance Company (JNL) of 
      554% 
 
   --  Jackson (parent company only) net cash provided by (used in) operating 
      activities of $19 million in the first quarter of 2026, down from $29 
      million in the first quarter of 2025 
 
   --  Free cash flow2 of $288 million in the first quarter of 2026 reflecting 
      distributions from our operating company of $325 million, which were up 
      35% from the first quarter of 2025 
 
   --  Returned $257 million to common shareholders in the first quarter of 
      2026, up 11% from the first quarter of 2025, through $192 million of 
      common share repurchases and $65 million in common dividends 
 
   --  Cash and highly liquid securities at the holding company of nearly $650 
      million as of March 31, 2026, which was above Jackson's targeted $250 
      million minimum liquidity buffer 

Laura Prieskorn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson, stated, "Our first quarter results underscore the continued strength of our business and steady progress toward achieving our strategic objectives. We delivered 31% growth in retail annuity sales compared to the same period last year with a more diversified business mix, demonstrating both our distribution reach and the momentum in our spread business, including the successful start of our partnership with TPG. Our robust in-force book of business delivered free cash flow of $288 million, which was substantially higher than the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, we've made strong progress toward our financial targets, with significant free capital generation in the first quarter, $257 million of capital return to common shareholders, and healthy levels of excess cash at the holding company. We expect to build on this momentum throughout 2026 and remain committed to helping Americans achieve financial security."

Consolidated First Quarter 2026 Results

The Company reported a net (loss) attributable to Jackson Financial Inc. common shareholders of $(435) million, or $(6.24) per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $(35) million, or $(0.48) per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The first quarter net loss included a less favorable net hedging result versus the prior year's first quarter, driven in part by higher volatility in the current quarter. The first quarter of 2026 also included a $40 million gain from business reinsured to third parties, while the prior year's first quarter reported a loss of $161 million. The results of reinsured business can differ significantly from quarter to quarter; however, these results do not impact our statutory capital or free cash flow and have a minimal net impact on shareholders' equity because of the offset from related changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). We believe the non-GAAP measure of adjusted operating earnings better represents the underlying performance of our business as adjusted operating earnings exclude, among other things, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and market risk benefits tied to market movements.

Adjusted operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $361 million, or $5.15 per diluted share, compared to $376 million or $5.10 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current quarter per share amount reflected higher spread income from growth in average RILA, FIA, and Institutional AUM and a reduced share count due to repurchases, partially offset by higher G&A expenses.

Total common shareholders' equity was $9.0 billion or $125.61 per diluted share as of March 31, 2026, compared to $9.4 billion or $138.17 per diluted share as of December 31, 2025. Adjusted book value attributed to common shareholders(4) was $10.4 billion or $145.35 per diluted share as of March 31, 2026, compared to $10.6 billion or $155.78 per diluted share as of December 31, 2025. The per share decrease was driven by non-operating net hedging results, capital return during the quarter, and a higher diluted share count resulting from the common equity issuance during the first quarter related to the initiation of the strategic partnership with TPG Inc. $(TPG)$. These drivers were partially offset by adjusted operating earnings of $0.4 billion during the quarter. Return on equity attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were (18.9)% and (1.5)%, respectively. Adjusted operating return on equity attributable to common shareholders(4) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 13.8%, up from 13.6% in the first quarter of 2025.

Retail Annuities

Retail Annuities reported pretax adjusted operating earnings of $468 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $420 million in the first quarter of 2025. The current quarter results primarily reflect higher spread income resulting from growth in average RILA and FIA AUM, partially offset by higher G&A expenses.

Total retail annuity sales(6) of $5.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026 were up from $4.0 billion in the first quarter of 2025. Traditional variable annuity sales(6) of $2.5 billion in the first quarter were down from $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting lower sales of products with lifetime benefits. RILA sales of $2.0 billion in the first quarter were up from $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025. Fixed and fixed index annuity sales in the first quarter of $756 million were up from $174 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Institutional Products

Institutional Products reported pretax adjusted operating earnings of $28 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $18 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by higher spread income resulting from higher AUM. Net flows were $(622) million in the first quarter, and total account value of $11.1 billion was up from $9.3 billion in the first quarter of 2025.

Closed Life and Annuity Blocks

Closed Life and Annuity Blocks reported pretax adjusted operating income (loss) of $(29) million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $28 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower limited partnership income and higher death claim benefits due to the implementation of enhanced processes and data sources for identifying deceased policyholders.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other reported a pretax adjusted operating (loss) of $(37) million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $(24) million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher G&A expenses.

Corporate and Other also includes the results of PPM, which has experienced 18% growth in AUM from the first quarter of 2025. AUM as of March 31, 2026 was $95.0 billion, up from $80.2 billion as of March 31, 2025, driven by growth in both Jackson's general account due to sales of RILA, fixed, FIA and Institutional products, and third-party AUM.

Capitalization and Liquidity

 
 (Unaudited, in billions)                    March 31, 2026  December 31, 2025 
-------------------------------------------  --------------  ----------------- 
 Statutory Total Adjusted Capital $(TAC)$ 
  Jackson National Life Insurance Company         $5.5             $5.5 
-------------------------------------------  --------------  ----------------- 
 

Statutory TAC at JNL was $5.5 billion as of March 31, 2026, unchanged from December 31, 2025. TAC was supported by strong earnings on in-force business, offset by a $325 million distribution to JNL's parent during the first quarter of 2026 and the related reduction in deferred tax asset admissibility. JNL's estimated RBC ratio was 554% as of March 31, 2026, down from the fourth quarter of 2025 due to an increase in estimated company action level required capital. Holding company free cash flow totaled $288 million in the first quarter of 2026 reflecting the $325 million distribution from the operating company.

Cash and highly liquid securities at the holding company totaled nearly $650 million as of March 31, 2026, which was above our targeted minimum liquidity buffer of $250 million.

APPENDIX

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting our results of operations and financial condition in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use and report selected non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with relevant U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides a better understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and the underlying performance drivers of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the U.S. GAAP financial measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted Operating Earnings is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe should be used to evaluate our financial performance on a consolidated basis by excluding certain items that may be highly variable from period to period due to accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP or that are non-recurring in nature, as well as certain other revenues and expenses that we do not view as driving our underlying performance. Adjusted Operating Earnings should not be used as a substitute for net income as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe the adjustments to net income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is Jackson Financial Inc. (Parent Company only) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less preferred stock dividends and capital contributions to PPM or other subsidiaries, plus the return of capital from our subsidiaries. Free cash flow should not be used as a substitute for JFI's (Parent Company only) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we believe these adjustments are useful to gaining an understanding of our overall available cash flow at JFI for return of capital to common shareholders and other corporate initiatives.

For additional detail on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the supplement relating to the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, posted on our website, https://investors.jackson.com.

The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Earnings to net income (loss) attributable to Jackson Financial Inc. common shareholders, the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders

Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders excludes Preferred Stock and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) attributable to Jackson Financial Inc (JFI), which does not include AOCI arising from investments held within the funds withheld account related to the Athene Reinsurance Transaction. We exclude AOCI attributable to JFI from Adjusted Book Value Attributable to Common Shareholders because our invested assets are generally invested to closely match the duration of our liabilities, which are longer duration in nature, and therefore we believe period-to-period fair market value fluctuations in AOCI to be inconsistent with this objective. We believe excluding AOCI attributable to JFI is more useful to investors in analyzing trends in our business because it removes those short-term fluctuations. Changes in AOCI within the funds withheld account related to the Athene Reinsurance Transaction offset the related non-operating earnings from the Athene Reinsurance Transaction resulting in a minimal net impact on the Adjusted Book Value of JFI.
