First Quarter 2022 Consolidated Results

• GAAP net income was $145.5 million, compared to first quarter 2021 of $148.5 million. The decline was primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains from changes in fair value of equity securities, partially offset by lower reportable catastrophes.

• GAAP net income per diluted share was $2.59, compared to first quarter 2021 of $2.41. The increase was primarily driven by ongoing share repurchases.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 16 percent compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a $40.6 million pre-tax decrease in reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA² was in-line with the prior year period. Double-digit growth in Global Lifestyle and a lower Corporate and Other loss were offset by higher non-cat loss experience in Global Housing mainly within specialty products.

• Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share⁴, increased 17 percent to $3.80, primarily driven by ongoing share repurchases and a $9.0 million one-time tax benefit.

• Revenue from the Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments totaled $2.46 billion compared to $2.36 billion in first quarter 2021, up 4 percent, primarily due to Global Automotive growth within Global Lifestyle.
  
  Note: Throughout this press release, revenue refers to net earned premiums, fees and other income. GAAP revenue is equal to net earned premiums, fees and other income, net investment income and net realized gains (losses) on investments.

Global Lifestyle

Adjusted EBITDA		217.4		193.0		13%
Revenue		1,961.6		1,862.3		5%

• Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year period, due to strong results across Connected Living and Global Automotive. In Connected Living, mobile increased primarily from device protection performance in North America, including more favorable loss experience and subscriber growth, as well as an increase in global mobile devices serviced, mainly from higher trade-in volumes. Global Automotive increased from higher investment income, favorable loss experience in select ancillary products and expansion across distribution channels.

• Revenue increased compared to the prior year period, led by Global Automotive premium increases from strong prior period sales. Connected Living increased modestly as mobile fee income growth from service and repair and trade-in was partially offset by premium declines in runoff mobile programs.

Global Housing

$ in millions		Q1'22		Q1'21		Change
Adjusted EBITDA		103.8		93.5		11%
Reportable catastrophes		3.1		43.6
Adjusted EBITDA, ex. reportable catastrophes2		106.9		137.1		(22)%
Revenue		496.8		493.0		1%

• Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $40.5 million pre-tax decrease in reportable catastrophes. Excluding reportable catastrophes, Adjusted EBITDA2 decreased due to higher non-cat loss experience, including a $13.8 million year-over-year increase within sharing economy offerings primarily related to a reserve adjustment and adverse development from policies previously written under less favorable terms. Lender-placed also experienced higher non-cat losses mainly from elevated fire claims.

• Revenue increased modestly year-over-year, as growth in lender-placed from higher average insured values and premium rates and multifamily housing was partially offset by a decline in specialty products from client runoff.

Corporate and Other

$ in millions		Q1'22		Q1'21		Change
Adjusted EBITDA		(22.2)		(27.9)		20%

• Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased in first quarter 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower employee-related expenses and an increase in investment income from higher asset balances.

Holding Company Liquidity Position

• Holding company liquidity totaled $738 million as of March 31, 2022, or $513 million above the company’s current targeted minimum level of $225 million, which includes the remaining proceeds from the sale of Global Preneed.
  
  Dividends paid by operating segments to the holding company in first quarter 2022 totaled $129 million.

• Share repurchases and common stock dividends totaled $280 million in first quarter 2022. During first quarter 2022, Assurant repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $242 million and paid $37 million in common stock dividends. From April 1 through May 1, 2022, the company repurchased an additional 460 thousand shares for approximately $86 million, with $514 million remaining under the current repurchase authorization.

2022 Company Outlook⁵

$ in millions, unless otherwise noted		FY 2021		Q1'22 YTD		2022 Outlook5
Adjusted EBITDA, ex. reportable catastrophes2		1,107.5		302.0		8 to 10 percent growth
Global Lifestyle		714.2		217.4		Low double-digit growth
Global Housing, ex. reportable catastrophes2		486.4		106.9		Mid-single-digit growth
Corporate and Other		(93.3)		(22.2)		~(105.0)
Adjusted earnings, ex. reportable catastrophes, per diluted share4		$12.12		$3.80		16 to 20 percent growth

For full-year 2022, the company expects:

• Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, to grow 8 to 10 percent, driven by growth across Global Lifestyle and Global Housing. Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by low double-digits, driven mainly by mobile in Connected Living from global expansion in existing and new clients across device protection and trade-in and upgrade programs. This will be partially offset by strategic investments to support new business opportunities, including in-store mobile service and repair capabilities, as well as unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange. Global Automotive is expected to increase, now driven by higher investment income and business performance. Global Housing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, is now expected to increase by mid-single-digits, primarily from growth in lender-placed from expense initiatives and higher average insured values, which are expected to more than offset higher claims and reinsurance costs. Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be approximately $105.0 million, reflecting lower net investment income as compared to 2021.

• Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share to increase 16 to 20 percent, driven by continued Global Lifestyle and Global Housing growth as well as share repurchases, including returning the remaining proceeds from the sale of Global Preneed. Assurant’s consolidated effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 22 to 24 percent, which reflects the impact of the first quarter tax benefit.

• Business segment dividends to approximate three quarters of segment Adjusted EBITDA, including reportable catastrophes, which represents roughly the same historical conversion levels to the holding company. This is subject to the growth of the businesses, rating agency and regulatory capital requirements, and investment portfolio performance.

• Capital to be deployed to support business growth by funding investments and M&A, and to return capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends, subject to Board approval and market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Assurant uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the company’s operating performance. Assurant’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Because Assurant’s calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Assurant’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.

(1)		Assurant uses Adjusted EBITDA as an important measure of the company’s operating    performance. Assurant defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, excluding net realized losses (gains) on investments and fair value changes to equity securities, COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), as well as other highly variable or unusual items. The company believes this metric provides investors with an important measure of the company’s operating performance because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company, and therefore (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze the ongoing operations of its businesses and (ii) facilitates comparisons of its operating performance over multiple periods, including because the amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing, size, nature and number of acquisitions. Although the company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets from Adjusted EBITDA, revenue generated from such intangible assets is included within the revenue in determining Adjusted EBITDA.  The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations. See Note 2 below for a full reconciliation.
(2)		Adjusted EBITDA, Excluding Reportable Catastrophes: Assurant uses Adjusted EBITDA (defined above), excluding reportable catastrophes (which represents individual catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5.0 million, pre-tax, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments and including reinstatement and other premiums), as another important measure of the company’s performance. The company believes this metric provides investors with an important measure of the company’s performance for the reasons noted above, and because it  excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations.

(3)		Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share: Assurant uses Adjusted earnings per diluted share as an important measure of the company’s stockholder value. Assurant defines Adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income from continuing operations, excluding net realized gains (losses) on investments, amortization of purchased intangibles, COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, the CARES Act tax benefit, loss on extinguishment of debt, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities (outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities), as well as other highly variable or unusual items, plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The company believes this metric provides investors with an important measure of stockholder value because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company, and therefore (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze the ongoing operations of its businesses and (ii) facilitates comparisons of its operating performance over multiple periods, including because the amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing, size, nature and number of acquisitions. Although the company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets from Adjusted earnings, revenue generated from such intangible assets is included within the revenue in determining Adjusted earnings. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations per diluted share, defined as net income from continuing operations plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends less net income from non-controlling interests, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. See Note 4 below for a full reconciliation.
(4)		Adjusted Earnings, Excluding Reportable Catastrophes, per Diluted Share: Assurant uses Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share (each as defined above) as another important measure of the company's stockholder value. The company believes this metric provides investors with an important measure of stockholder value for the reasons noted above, and because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations per diluted share, defined as net income from continuing operations plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends less net income from non-controlling interests, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

(5)

The company outlook for Adjusted earnings, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, for Assurant and Global Housing each constitute forward-looking information and the company believes that it cannot reconcile such forward-looking information to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. Many of the GAAP components cannot be reliably quantified due to the combination of variability and volatility of such components and may, depending on the size of the components, have a significant impact on the reconciliation. The company is able to quantify a full-year estimate of interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization of purchased intangible assets, each on a pre-tax basis, which are expected to be approximately $109 million, $85 million and $70 million, respectively. The interest expense estimate assumes no additional debt is incurred or extinguished in the forecast period and excludes after-tax interest expenses included in debt extinguishment and other related costs.
