Unum Q3 2025 Earnings Report
Unum Group reported its third quarter 2025 earnings, with net income significantly lower than the prior year, while adjusted operating income also saw a decrease.
Key Takeaways
Unum Group reported a substantial decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a significant after-tax net reserve increase related to assumption updates. Despite this, core operations showed strength with premium growth and a robust adjusted operating return on equity. The company maintained a strong balance sheet and continued to return capital to shareholders.
Net income for Q3 2025 was $39.7 million ($0.23 per diluted common share), a significant decrease from $645.7 million in Q3 2024.
After-tax adjusted operating income was $357.1 million ($2.09 per diluted common share), down from $398.0 million in Q3 2024.
The company completed its annual GAAP reserve assumption updates, resulting in an after-tax net reserve increase of $377.8 million.
Unum maintained a strong balance sheet with holding company liquidity of $2.0 billion and a weighted average risk-based capital ratio of approximately 455 percent.
