(1) In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error. See additional disclosure contained in Note 1 of the June 30, 2026 Form 10-Q.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, of $16.6 million and $35.0 million, was up $1.6 million and up $0.9 million, respectively. The Individual Supplemental benefits ratio was lower, 4.1 points and 0.1 points for the three and nine months ended. The Group Benefits benefits ratio increased 5.5 points and 7.3 points for the three and nine months ended driven by strong growth momentum within our Paid Family Medical Leave enhancement.
Excluding the reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error of $3.5 million ($2.8 million after tax) in the second quarter 2025, net investment income increased $0.6 million and decreased $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Total sales* for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased $3.6 million and increased $7.5 million due to our strategic investments to drive growth. Individual Supplemental products increased $0.3 million and $1.2 million and Group Benefits products decreased $3.9 million and increased $6.3 million. 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.
