DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Primerica, Inc. (NYSE: PRI) announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported total revenue of $793.3 million, net income of $178.3 million and net earnings per diluted share of $5.40 during the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company reported total revenue of $791.0 million, net income from continuing operations of $209.3 million and net earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $6.07. The comparable financial results presented in continuing operations in the second quarter of 2024 were impacted by two distinct non-recurring items: a $50 million gain from the receipt of proceeds from a Representation and Warranty insurance policy claim and the recognition of an $11 million valuation allowance for acquired state net operating loss deferred tax assets.

The Company delivered strong adjusted operating financial results during the quarter including adjusted operating revenues of $796.0 million, up 7% year-over-year. Adjusted net operating income totaled $180.4 million, reflecting 6% growth in the second quarter of 2025, while diluted adjusted operating earnings per share of $5.46 increased 10% compared to the second quarter of 2024.

“Our second quarter results underscore the resilience and strength of our business model,� said Glenn Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Primerica. “Continued growth in our Investment and Savings Products segment, along with steady performance in Term Life, fueled another quarter of strong financial results. As families face ongoing economic uncertainty, we remain confident in our sales force's ability to deliver meaningful support by helping clients make informed financial decisions.�

Life Insurance Licensed Sales Force

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company continued to generate interest with individuals drawn to the appeal of creating a flexible career path. Primerica’s business model remains highly attractive to those committed to guiding families toward financial independence. The Company recruited a total of 80,924 individuals and licensed 12,903 new representatives in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the life-licensed sales force totaled 152,592 representatives, reflecting a 5% increase year-over-year.

Term Life Insurance

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company issued 89,850 new life insurance policies, a solid performance when compared to prior year record results. Productivity was 0.20 policies per month per life-licensed representative, within the historical range of 0.20 to 0.24 policies per representative.

Term Life revenues were $441.8 million, increasing 3% year-over-year, driven by 5% growth in adjusted direct premiums, while pre-tax operating income of $155.0 million increased 5% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The benefits and claims ratio was 57.5%, largely consistent with the prior year period. The DAC amortization and insurance commissions ratio remained stable compared to the prior year period. The Term Life operating margin was 23.0%, in line with the second quarter of 2024.

Investment and Savings Products

Total product sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $3.5 billion, the second largest in company history, representing a 15% increase compared to the prior year period. Net inflows of $487 million continued to be positive and favorable market performance helped average client asset values rise 11% compared to the prior year period.

During the second quarter of 2025, segment revenues increased 14% to $298.3 million, and income before income taxes grew 6% to $79.4 million, driven by growth in average client asset values and higher product sales. Sales-based commissions and fees rose 15%, compared to an 11% increase in related product sales, reflecting strong client demand for variable annuities. Sales-based commission expenses rose 18% during the second quarter of 2025. Asset-based commission and fees grew 17%, outpacing growth in average client asset values of 11%, reflecting continued demand for managed accounts and Canadian mutual funds sold under the principal distributor model, which yield higher asset-based fees. Asset-based commission expenses tracked closely with asset-based revenues. Other operating expenses increased $8.8 million, primarily driven by variable growth-related expenses and continued investments in technology and infrastructure.

Corporate and Other Distributed Products

During the second quarter of 2025, the segment recorded pre-tax adjusted operating income of $2.7 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net investment income increased $2.5 million compared to the prior year period largely due to the continued growth of the invested asset portfolio.

Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 23.9% during the second quarter of 2025, slightly higher than the effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 23.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations in 2024 included the impact of two largely offsetting non-recurring items, specifically the non-taxable receipt of proceeds from a Representation and Warranty insurance policy claim and the recognition of a valuation allowance for acquired state net operating losses as mentioned above.

Capital

The Company repurchased 487,993 shares of common stock for $129 million during the second quarter of 2025 and the Board of Directors has approved a dividend of $1.04 per share, payable on September 15, 2025, to stockholders of record on August 22, 2025. Primerica Life Insurance Company’s statutory risk-based capital (RBC) ratio was estimated to be about 490% as of June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP�), the Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company presents adjusted direct premiums, other ceded premiums, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income, diluted adjusted operating earnings per share and adjusted stockholders' equity.

Adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums are net of amounts ceded under coinsurance transactions that were executed concurrent with our initial public offering (the “IPO coinsurance transactions�) for all periods presented. We exclude amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions in measuring adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums to present meaningful comparisons of the actual premiums economically maintained by the Company. Amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions will continue to decline over time as policies terminate within this block of business.

Adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the impact of investment gains (losses), including credit impairments, and fair value mark-to-market (“MTM�) investment adjustments for all periods presented. We exclude investment gains (losses), including credit impairments, and MTM investment adjustments in measuring these non-GAAP financial measures to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results due to items such as the timing of recognizing gains (losses) and market pricing variations prior to an invested asset’s maturity or sale that are not directly associated with the Company’s insurance operations. Also excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is the receipt of insurance proceeds under a Representation and Warranty policy purchased in connection with the 2021 acquisition of e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. and subsidiaries (“e-TeleQuote�). We exclude this gain from our non-GAAP financial measures as it represents a non-recurring item that causes incomparability in the Company’s results.

Adjusted operating income before taxes, adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share also exclude corporate restructuring and related charges associated with the decision to exit the senior health business. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures as they are not useful in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operations.

Adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the tax effect of pre-tax operating adjustments and the valuation allowance recognized in 2024 for e-TeleQuote’s state net operating losses “NOL�, which is required to be reported in income taxes from continuing operations. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures as they represent the tax effect of pre-tax operating adjustments and/or non-recurring items that will cause incomparability between period-over-period results.

Adjusted stockholders� equity excludes the impact of net unrealized investment gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. We exclude unrealized investment gains (losses) in measuring adjusted stockholders� equity as unrealized gains (losses) from the Company’s available-for-sale securities are largely caused by market movements in interest rates and credit spreads that do not necessarily correlate with the cash flows we will ultimately realize when an available-for-sale security matures or is sold. Adjusted stockholders� equity also excludes the difference in future policy benefits calculated using the current discount rate and future policy benefits calculated using the locked-in discount rate at contract issuance recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We exclude the impact from the difference in the discount rate in measuring adjusted stockholders' equity as such difference is caused by market movements in interest rates that are not permanent and may not align with the cash flows we will ultimately incur when policy benefits are settled.

Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of similar measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Furthermore, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of the core ongoing business. These measures have limitations and users should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are attached to this release.
