The Individual Supplemental benefits ratio increased 2.1 points due to higher utilization consistent with our long-term expectations. The Group Benefits benefits ratio decreased 1.4 points due to higher premiums driven by higher sales*. Operating expense increase reflects inflation and investments being made in growth initiatives and infrastructure.
Total sales* for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $8.6 million due to our strategic investments to drive growth. Individual Supplemental products increased $0.6 million and Group Benefits products increased $8.0 million. Individual Supplemental sales increased 11.3% and Group Benefits sales increased 258.1%. Variability in sales between comparable periods is typical for Group Benefits given the relatively small scale and the longer sales cycle of this business. Persistency remains strong for the segment.
