Aflac Incorporated Announces First Quarter Results,
Reports First Quarter Net Earnings of $29 Million,
Declares Second Quarter Dividend
COLUMBUS, Ga. - April 30, 2025 - Aflac Incorporated (NYSE: AFL) today reported its first quarter results.
Total revenues were $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025, compared with $5.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to net investment losses of $963 million this quarter compared to net investment gains of $951 million in the first quarter of 2024. Net earnings were $29 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $1.9 billion, or $3.25 per diluted share a year ago.
Net earnings in the first quarter of 2025 included net investment losses of $963 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared with net investment gains of $951 million, or $1.65 per diluted share a year ago. These net investment losses were driven by net losses of $888 million on certain derivatives and foreign currency activities; a $61 million loss from a decrease in the fair value of equity securities; and $55 million of reserves for current expected credit losses (CECL); offset by net gains from sales and redemptions of $41 million; and no impairments.
Adjusted earnings* in the first quarter were $906 million, compared with $961 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting a decrease of 5.7%. Adjusted earnings per diluted share* remained flat in the quarter at $1.66. Variable investment income ran $27 million below the company's long-term return expectations. Net investment income included $16 million, or $0.02 per share, from a make-whole call of a security in the Japan segment. The weaker yen/dollar exchange rate negatively impacted adjusted earnings per share by $0.01.
The average yen/dollar exchange rate in the first quarter of 2025 was 152.40, or 2.4% weaker than the average rate of 148.67 in the first quarter of 2024.
Shareholders’ equity was $26.3 billion, or $48.55 per share, at March 31, 2025, compared with $23.5 billion, or $41.27 per share, at March 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the first quarter included a cumulative increase of $3.9 billionfor the effect of the change in discount rate assumptions on insurance reserves, compared with a corresponding cumulative decrease of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2024 and a net unrealized loss on investment securities and derivatives of $1.3 billion, compared with a net unrealized gain of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the first quarter also included an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $4.5 billion, compared with an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $4.7 billion at March 31, 2024. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity in the first quarter was 0.4%.
Shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI (or adjusted book value*) was $28.2 billion, or $51.98 per share at March 31, 2025, compared with $28.6 billion, or $50.22 per share, at March 31, 2024. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement* was $23.1 billion, or $42.61 per share, at March 31, 2025, compared with $23.8 billion, or $41.68 per share, at March 31, 2024. The annualized adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement* in the first quarter was 15.6%.
AFLAC JAPAN
In yen terms, Aflac Japan's net earned premiums were ¥256.5 billion for the quarter, or 5.0% lower than a year ago, mainly due to internal cancer reinsurance transactions, as well as limited-pay policies reaching paid-up status. Adjusted net investment income decreased 7.6% to ¥89.2 billion primarily due to lower floating rate income. Total adjusted revenues in yen declined 5.7% to ¥346.5 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings in yen for the quarter declined 8.7% on a reported basis to ¥110.0 billion, primarily due to a decline in revenue, partially offset by lower benefits. Pretax adjusted earnings decreased 9.8% on a currency-neutral basis. The pretax adjusted profit margin for the Japan segment decreased to 31.8%, compared with 32.8% a year ago.
In dollar terms, net earned premiums decreased 7.4% to $1.7 billion in the first quarter. Adjusted net investment income decreased 9.6% to $586 million. Total adjusted revenues declined by 8.1% to $2.3 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings declined 10.9% to $722 million.
For the quarter, total new annualized premium sales (sales) increased 12.6% to ¥14.1 billion, or $93 million, primarily reflecting strong sales of Tsumitasu, a first sector product, as well as the initial two weeks of sales for Miraito, the new cancer insurance product.
AFLAC U.S.
Aflac U.S. net earned premiums increased 1.8% to $1.5 billion in the first quarter compared to the prior year, reflecting improved sales and persistency. Adjusted net investment income decreased 1.9% to $202 million, primarily due to lower floating rate income. Total adjusted revenues were up 1.3% to $1.7 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings were $358 million, 0.6% higher than a year ago, reflecting higher premiums and lower expenses which were partially offset by higher benefits. As a result, the pretax adjusted profit margin for the U.S. segment was 20.8%, compared with 21.0% a year ago.
Aflac U.S. sales increased 3.5% in the quarter to $309 million, driven by sales of group products.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
For the quarter, total adjusted revenues increased 32.0% to $326 million compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher adjusted net investment income due to a lower volume of tax credit investments and an increase due to reinsurance activity, which also increased total net earned premiums. Total benefits and adjusted expenses increased $33 million compared to the prior year primarily due to reinsurance activity and higher interest expense. Pretax adjusted earnings were a gain of $43 million, compared with a loss of $3 million a year ago.
DIVIDEND AND CAPITAL RETURNED TO SHAREHOLDERS
The board of directors declared the second quarter dividend of $0.58 per share, payable on June 2, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2025.
In the first quarter, Aflac Incorporated deployed $900 million in capital to repurchase 8.5 million of its common shares. At the end of March 2025, the company had 38.8 million remaining shares authorized for repurchase.
OUTLOOK
Commenting on the company’s results, Aflac Incorporated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos stated: "I am pleased that Aflac delivered very solid adjusted earnings for the quarter.
"Looking at our operations in Japan, I am pleased with Aflac Japan’s 93.8% premium persistency and 12.6% year-over-year sales increase. We have continued to focus on third sector products, including Miraito, our new cancer insurance product, while continuing to introduce these policies to new and younger customers through Tsumitasu, our first sector product.
"In the U.S., I continue to be pleased with our premium persistency results of 79.3%, in addition to our 1.8% increase in net earned premiums and 3.5% increase in sales. We are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing within all areas of our group business, especially our group life and disability as well as network dental. We continue to focus on more profitable growth through our stronger underwriting discipline and improving the productivity of agents and brokers. We are seeing improvement in net earned premiums and continue our prudent approach to expense management and maintaining a strong pretax margin.
"We continue to generate strong capital and cash flows while maintaining our commitment to prudent liquidity and capital management. We have been pleased with our investments, which have continued to produce strong net investment income. We treasure our 2024 milestone of 42 consecutive years of dividend increases and remain committed to extending this record, supported by our financial strength.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document includes references to the Company’s financial performance measures which are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) (non-U.S. GAAP). The financial measures exclude items that the Company believes may obscure the underlying fundamentals and trends in insurance operations because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations.
Due to the size of Aflac Japan, where the functional currency is the Japanese yen, fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on reported results. In periods when the yen weakens, translating yen into dollars results in fewer dollars being reported. When the yen strengthens, translating yen into dollars results in more dollars being reported. Consequently, yen weakening has the effect of suppressing current period results in relation to the comparable prior period, while yen strengthening has the effect of magnifying current period results in relation to the comparable prior period. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in yen and never converted into dollars but translated into dollars for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, which results in foreign currency impact to earnings, cash flows and book value on a U.S. GAAP basis. Management evaluates the Company's financial performance both including and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation to monitor, respectively, cumulative currency impacts and the currency-neutral operating performance over time. The average yen/dollar exchange rate is based on the published MUFG Bank, Ltd. telegraphic transfer middle rate (TTM).
The company defines the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release as follows:
•Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non-recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively.
•Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign currency exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign currency exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively.
•Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of AOCI, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on average equity (ROE) as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity.
•Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on average equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity.
•Amortized hedge costs/income represent costs/income incurred or recognized as a result of using foreign currency derivatives to hedge certain foreign exchange risks in the Company's Japan segment or in Corporate and other. These amortized hedge costs/income are estimated at the inception of the derivatives based on the specific terms of each contract and are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the contractual term of the derivative. The Company believes that amortized hedge costs/income measure the periodic currency risk management costs/income related to hedging certain foreign currency exchange risks and are an important component of net investment income. There is no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for amortized hedge costs/income.
•Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively.
•Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively.
•Adjusted net investment income is net investment income adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, and ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are reclassified from net investment gains and losses to net investment income. The Company considers adjusted net investment income important because it provides a more comprehensive understanding of the costs and income associated with the Company’s investments and related hedging strategies. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment income is net investment income.
•Adjusted net investment gains and losses are net investment gains and losses adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are both reclassified to net investment income, and iii) the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable, which is reclassified to interest expense as a component of total adjusted expenses. The Company considers adjusted net investment gains and losses important as it represents the remainder amount that is considered outside management’s control, while excluding the components that are within management’s control and are accordingly reclassified to net investment income and interest expense. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment gains and losses is net investment gains and losses.

Financial Supplement
First Quarter 2025
This document is a statistical supplement to Aflac’s quarterly earnings release. Throughout the presentation, amounts presented may not foot due to rounding. As you review the supplement, please note the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and definitions found at the back of this document.
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Update 2018-12 Financial Services - Insurance: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, as clarified and amended by (i) ASU 2019-09 Financial Services - Insurance: Effective Date, and (ii) ASU 2020-11 Financial Services - Insurance: Effective Date and Early Application (collectively, “LDTI”) as of January 1, 2023. The amended guidance is applied as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements, which results in a January 1, 2021 Transition Date. In conjunction with the adoption of LDTI, the Company changed its practice of recording the change in the deferred profit liability (DPL) on products with limited-payment features from the benefits and claims, net line item to the net earned premiums line item in the consolidated statement of earnings. This change in presentation has no impact on net earnings. All quarterly and annual amounts for 2021 and 2022 presented herein reflect these changes for LDTI and DPL.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes references to the Company’s financial performance measures which are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) (non-U.S. GAAP). The financial measures exclude items that the Company believes may obscure the underlying fundamentals and trends in insurance operations because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations.
Due to the size of Aflac Japan, where the functional currency is the Japanese yen, fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on reported results. In periods when the yen weakens, translating yen into dollars results in fewer dollars being reported. When the yen strengthens, translating yen into dollars results in more dollars being reported. Consequently, yen weakening has the effect of suppressing current period results in relation to the comparable prior period, while yen strengthening has the effect of magnifying current period results in relation to the comparable prior period. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in yen and never converted into dollars but translated into dollars for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, which results in foreign currency impact to earnings, cash flows and book value on a U.S. GAAP basis. Management evaluates the Company's financial performance both including and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation to monitor, respectively, cumulative currency impacts and the currency-neutral operating performance over time. The average yen/dollar exchange rate is based on the published MUFG Bank, Ltd. telegraphic transfer middle rate (TTM).
The Company defines the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this document as follows:
• | Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. | ||||
Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. | |||||
• | Adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment is adjusted book value plus unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment. The Company considers adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment important as it excludes certain components of accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management's control; however, it includes the impact of foreign currency as a result of the significance of Aflac’s Japan operation. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment is total book value. | ||||
• | Adjusted debt is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds and all pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt is notes payable. | ||||
• | Adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is notes payable. |
33
• | Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non-recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. | ||||
• | Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign currency exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign currency exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. | ||||
• | Amortized hedge costs/income represent costs/income incurred or recognized as a result of using foreign currency derivatives to hedge certain foreign exchange risks in the Company's Japan segment or in Corporate and other. These amortized hedge costs/income are estimated at the inception of the derivatives based on the specific terms of each contract and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the derivative. The Company believes that amortized hedge costs/income measure the periodic currency risk management costs/income related to hedging certain foreign currency exchange risks and are an important component of net investment income. There is no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for amortized hedge costs/income. | ||||
• | Adjusted net investment gains and losses are net investment gains and losses adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are both reclassified to net investment income, and iii) the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable, which is reclassified to interest expense as a component of total adjusted expenses. The Company considers adjusted net investment gains and losses important as it represents the remainder amount that is considered outside management’s control, while excluding the components that are within management’s control and are accordingly reclassified to net investment income and interest expense. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment gains and losses is net investment gains and losses. | ||||
• | Adjusted net investment income is net investment income adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, and ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are reclassified from net investment gains and losses to net investment income. The Company considers adjusted net investment income important because it provides a more comprehensive understanding of the costs and income associated with the Company’s investments and related hedging strategies. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment income is net investment income. | ||||
• | Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of AOCI, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on average equity (ROE) as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. | ||||
• | Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on average equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. | ||||

Q1 2025 CFO Video Update
April 30, 2025
Thank you for joining me as I provide a financial update on Aflac Incorporated's results for the first quarter of 2025.
For the quarter, adjusted earnings per diluted share was flat year over year at $1.66, with a $0.01 negative impact from FX in the quarter. In this quarter, remeasurement gains on reserves totaled $41 million, reducing benefits. Variable investment income ran $27 million below our long-term return expectations, while one make whole call generated income of $16 million.
Adjusted book value per share excluding foreign currency remeasurement increased 2.2%. The adjusted ROE was 12.7%, and 15.6% excluding foreign currency remeasurement, an acceptable spread to our cost of capital. Overall, we view these results in the quarter as solid.
Starting with our Japan segment, net earned premiums for the quarter declined 5.0%. Aflac Japan's underlying earned premiums,1 which adjusts net earned premiums to exclude the impact of deferred profit liability, paid up policies and reinsurance, declined 1.4%. We believe this metric better provides insight into long-term premium trends.
Japan’s total benefit ratio came in at 65.8% for the quarter, down 120 basis points year over year. The third sector benefit ratio was 56.3% for the quarter, down approximately 120 basis points year over year. We estimate the impact from remeasurement gains to be approximately 150 basis points favorable to the benefit ratio in Q1 2025. Long-term experience trends, as they relate to treatments of cancer and hospitalization, continue to be in place, leading to continued favorable underwriting experience.
Persistency remained solid at 93.8%, which was up 40 basis points year over year and in line with our expectations. However, beginning in this quarter, we have revised the premium persistency definition to better reflect the economic trends of the business. As a result, we do not treat annuitization as a lapse for persistency purposes, and this revised definition raised the reported persistency by roughly 30 basis points.
Our expense ratio in Japan was 19.6% for the quarter, up 160 basis points year over year, driven primarily by an increase in technology expenses.
For the quarter, adjusted net investment income in yen terms was down 7.6%, primarily driven by lower floating rate income, the transfer of assets to Aflac Re Bermuda associated with reinsurance, and variable investment income, somewhat offset by higher returns from the structured private credit portfolio.
The pretax margin for Japan in the quarter was 31.8%, down 100 basis points year over year, but a very good result.
Turning to U.S. results, net earned premium was up 1.8%. Persistency increased 60 basis points year over year to 79.3%.
Our U.S. total benefit ratio came in at 47.7%, 120 basis points higher than Q1 2024, driven by business mix and lower remeasurement gains than a year ago. We estimate that remeasurement gains impacted the benefit ratio by approximately 100 basis points in the quarter, as claims have remained below our long-term expectations. In the quarter, we benefited from favorable underwriting on our small but growing long-term disability block.
1Aflac Japan's underlying earned premiums is a measure that is calculated in Japanese yen and adjusts Aflac Japan’s net earned premiums for significant variables including the increase in paid-up policies between beginning of the comparable period and the end of the period presented, the change in deferred profit liability on limited payment contracts, and all Aflac Japan ceded premiums through both internal and external reinsurance. The change in Aflac Japan’s underlying earned premiums is reflected as a percentage change. The Company feels this measure is useful for investors to understand the impacts these items have on Aflac Japan's net earned premiums.
Our expense ratio in the U.S. was 37.6%, down 110 basis points year over year, primarily driven by platforms improving scale and continuous focus on expense efficiency.
Our growth initiatives – group life & disability, network dental and vision and direct to consumer – increased our total expense ratio by 50 basis points for the quarter. This is in line with our expectations, and we would expect this impact to decrease as we continue to approach scale.
Adjusted net investment income in the U.S. was down 1.9% for the quarter primarily driven by lower floating rate income.
Profitability in the U.S. segment was very strong, with a pretax margin of 20.8%, a 20 basis points decline compared with a year ago.
During the quarter, we increased our CECL reserves associated with our commercial real estate portfolio by $2 million net of charge offs as property values remain at distressed valuations. We also foreclosed on two loans, adding them to our real estate owned portfolio consistent with our strategy for maximizing recovery values.
Our portfolio of first lien senior secured middle market loans continued to perform well with increased CECL reserves of $7 million in the quarter net of charge offs.
In our corporate segment, we recorded a pretax gain of $43 million. Adjusted net investment income was $47 million higher than last year due to a combination of lower volume of tax credit investments and higher asset balances, which included the impact of the reinsurance transaction in Q4 2024. Our tax credit investments impacted the corporate net investment income line for U.S. GAAP purposes negatively by $8 million in the quarter with an associated credit to the tax line. The net impact to our bottom line was a positive $0.4 million in the quarter. To date, these investments are performing well and in line with our expectations.
Unencumbered holding company liquidity stood at $4.3 billion, $2.6 billion above our minimum balance.
We repurchased $900 million of our own stock and paid dividends of $317 million in Q1, offering good relative IRR on these capital deployments. We will continue to be flexible and tactical in how we manage the balance sheet and deploy capital in order to drive strong risk-adjusted ROE with a meaningful spread to our cost of capital.
Our capital position remains strong, and we ended the quarter with an SMR above 950%, and estimated regulatory ESR above 250%. Our combined RBC, while not finalized, we estimate to be greater than 600%. These are strong capital ratios, which we actively monitor, stress and manage to withstand credit cycles as well as external shocks. For U.S. statutory, we recorded a $6 million valuation allowance on mortgage loans as an unrealized loss. We ended the quarter, March 31 with net ¥5.2 billion of Japan FSA realized gains net of losses for securities impairment. This is well within our expectations and with limited impact to both earnings and capital.
Our leverage was 20.7% for the quarter, which is within our target range of 20% to 25%. As we hold approximately 59% of our debt in yen, this leverage ratio is impacted by moves in the yen/dollar exchange rate. This is intentional and part of our enterprise hedging program – protecting the economic value of Aflac Japan in U.S. dollar terms.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, we are impacted by moves in the yen as our yen denominated earnings will translate into USD at different exchange rates. We currently estimate that every 5 yen/dollar move would impact our underlying EPS by roughly $0.07.
As foreign currency markets have experienced a marked increase in volatility, I would like to reiterate our approach to managing foreign currency exposure. Fundamentally, we size our unhedged U.S. dollar exposure to the estimated economic surplus associated with our Japanese business. At the end of Q1, we held $25.5 billion of unhedged USD assets in our Japan general account – forward contracts at Inc. with a notional balance of $2.7 billion and $4.4 billion of yen denominated debt. We also hold $24.2 billion of notional of out of the money put options, which provide tail protection against a large appreciation in the yen. Adding this up, we feel that we are very well-positioned on an economic basis.
Thank you. I look forward to discussing our results in further detail on tomorrow's earnings call.

Glossary of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures The Company defines these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as follows: • Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non- recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. • Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign currency exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign currency exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. • Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of AOCI, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on average equity (ROE) as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. • Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/ losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on average equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity.

Glossary of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures (cont’d) The Company defines these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as follows: • Adjusted debt is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds and all pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt is notes payable. • Adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is notes payable. • Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. • Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative [beginning January 1, 2021] foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively.
