The adjusted operating loss increased primarily from timing of certain tax-related items in the prior year that did not recur.
Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased primarily from higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives in the current year. The prior year also included gains related to the repurchase of Genworth Holdings’ debt that did not recur.
Interest expense decreased from a lower floating interest rate on Genworth Holdings’ junior subordinated notes in the current year and from the repurchase of Genworth Holdings’ debt in the prior year.
The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to the pre-tax loss, partially offset by non-deductible expenses. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was related to timing of tax adjustments and the pre-tax loss.

The adjusted operating loss increased primarily from higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives and lower net investment income, partially offset by lower interest expense in the current year.
Net investment income decreased from lower average invested assets and lower investment yields in the current year.
Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased mainly from restructuring expenses in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives in the current year. The prior year also included gains related to the repurchase of Genworth Holdings’ debt that did not recur.
Interest expense decreased from a lower floating interest rate on Genworth Holdings’ junior subordinated notes in the current year and from the repurchase of Genworth Holdings’ debt in the prior year.
The increase in the benefit for income taxes was primarily related to a higher pre-tax loss in the current year.
Investments and Derivative Instruments
Investments
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, our investment portfolio was impacted, and we believe will continue to be impacted, by the following macroeconomic trends:
| • | The U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged during the second quarter of 2025 as it continues to monitor inflation, including any impacts from rising tariffs, and labor market conditions. |
| • | During the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened as short-term yields decreased while 30-year yields increased compared to March 31, 2025, driven by mixed economic data and increased concerns with the federal government’s fiscal deficit. |
| • | Credit spreads widened at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025 in response to increased uncertainty around government policy, including international trade policy and higher tariffs, but ended the second quarter of 2025 tighter compared to March 31, 2025 as most tariff implementations were postponed. Equity markets followed a similar trend with negative performance at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025 but ending higher compared to March 31, 2025. |
| • | As of June 30, 2025, our fixed maturity securities portfolio, which was 97% investment grade, comprised 75% of our total invested assets and cash. |
| • | As of June 30, 2025, $1.1 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio was cleared through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). |
| • | The customer swap agreements that govern our cleared derivatives contain provisions that enable our clearing agents to request initial margin in excess of CME requirements. As of June 30, 2025, we posted initial margin of $96 million to our clearing agents, which represented $48 million more than was otherwise required by the clearinghouse. Because our clearing agents serve as guarantors of our obligations to the CME, the customer agreements contain broad termination provisions that are not specifically dependent on ratings. |
| • | As of June 30, 2025, $13.0 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio was in bilateral over-the-counter derivative transactions pursuant to which we have posted aggregate independent amounts of $593 million and are holding collateral from counterparties in the amount of $11 million. |

Yields are based on net investment income as reported under U.S. GAAP and are consistent with how we measure our investment performance for management purposes. Yields are annualized, for interim periods, and are calculated as net investment income as a percentage of average quarterly asset carrying values except for fixed maturity securities, derivatives and derivative counterparty collateral, which exclude unrealized fair value adjustments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, gross annualized weighted-average investment yields decreased driven by lower net investment income on lower average invested assets. Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased largely from lower policy loan rates in our corporate-owned life insurance products in the current year.

| • | We recorded $25 million of net unrealized gains on limited partnerships in the current year driven by favorable private equity market performance compared to $52 million of net unrealized losses in the prior year driven by unfavorable performance. We also recorded $20 million of higher net unrealized gains on equity securities from more favorable equity market performance in the current year. |
| • | During the current year, we increased the provision for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans by $20 million as a result of updates to the analytical model used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. We also increased the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities by $11 million in the current year compared to a decrease of $7 million in the prior year related to sales of securities. |
| • | We had $28 million of higher net investment losses related to derivatives in the current year primarily attributable to losses on foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk. |
| • | We recorded $19 million of lower net realized losses related to the sale of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities in the current year. The prior year losses were primarily driven by sales related to portfolio repositioning. |
| • | We recorded $63 million of net unrealized gains on limited partnerships in the current year driven by favorable private equity market performance compared to $9 million of net unrealized losses in the prior year driven by unfavorable performance. We also recorded $26 million of lower net unrealized gains on equity securities in the current year from less favorable equity market performance. |

For a discussion of the change in cash, cash equivalents and invested assets, see the comparison for these line items under “—Consolidated Balance Sheets.” See note 4 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to our investment portfolio.
We hold fixed maturity and equity securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, embedded derivatives and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 6% of our investment holdings recorded at fair value was based on significant inputs that were not market observable and were classified as Level 3 measurements. See note 6 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to fair value.
Other invested assets
The following table sets forth the carrying values of our other invested assets as of the dates indicated:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in millions) | Carrying value | % of total | Carrying value | % of total |

| Other investments | 58 | 9 | 53 | 8 |
| Total other invested assets | $643 | 100% | $648 | 100% |
Derivatives decreased largely from changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the current year. Short-term investments increased from net purchases in the current year.
The activity associated with derivative instruments can generally be measured by the change in notional value over the periods presented. However, for fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivatives, the change between periods is best illustrated by the number of policies. The following tables represent activity associated with derivative instruments as of the dates indicated:

| Fixed indexed annuity embedded derivatives | Policies | 4,867 | — | (358) | 4,509 | ||||
| Indexed universal life embedded derivatives | Policies | 717 | — | (18) | 699 | ||||
The increase in the notional value of derivatives was primarily attributable to the addition of foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk and forward bond purchase commitments that support our long-term care insurance business. These increases were partially offset by decreases in interest rate swaps that support our long-term care insurance business and financial futures that support our variable annuity products.
The number of policies with embedded derivatives decreased as these products are no longer being offered and continue to run off.
Consolidated Balance Sheets
Total assets. Total assets increased $465 million from $86,871 million as of December 31, 2024 to $87,336 million as of June 30, 2025.
| • | Invested assets increased $940 million primarily attributable to increases of $770 million in fixed maturity securities and $195 million in limited partnerships. The increase in fixed maturity securities was predominantly related to lower interest rates increasing the fair value of our fixed maturity investment portfolio, partially offset by net sales and maturities in the current year. Limited partnerships increased largely from capital calls in the current year. |
| • | Cash and cash equivalents decreased $251 million principally from net withdrawals from our investment contracts, capital calls on limited partnerships and repurchases of Genworth Financial’s common stock, partially offset by net sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities in the current year. |
| • | Deferred acquisition costs decreased $99 million largely driven by amortization in our life and long-term care insurance products in the current year. |
Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $117 million from $77,440 million as of December 31, 2024 to $77,557 million as of June 30, 2025.
| • | The liability for future policy benefits increased $501 million primarily from a decrease in the single-A interest rate used to discount the liability for future policy benefits. Our long-term care insurance reserves also increased largely driven by aging of the in-force block, including higher interest accretion, partially offset by benefit payments outpacing premiums collected in the current year. These increases were partially offset by the runoff of our fixed annuity and life insurance products. |
| • | Policyholder account balances decreased $431 million largely driven by benefit payments, surrenders and withdrawals in our fixed annuity and universal and term universal life insurance products in the current year. |
| • | Liability for policy and contract claims increased $93 million primarily from higher pending claims in our life insurance products largely due to higher frequency in the current year. The increase was also driven by new delinquencies in our Enact segment, partially offset by reserve releases in the current year primarily due to favorable cure performance on prior year delinquencies. |
Total equity. Total equity increased $348 million from $9,431 million as of December 31, 2024 to $9,779 million as of June 30, 2025.
| • | We reported net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $105 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. |
| • | Unrealized gains (losses) on investments increased total equity by $620 million primarily due to a decrease in interest rates in the current year. |
| • | Derivatives qualifying as hedges decreased total equity by $112 million largely due to amortization of forward starting swap gains into net investment income. |
| • | The change in the discount rate used to measure future policy benefits and related reinsurance recoverables decreased total equity by $253 million largely attributable to a decrease in the single-A interest rate in the current year. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.
Overview of cash flows—Genworth and subsidiaries
Our principal sources of cash include premiums and other payments received on our insurance products and services, income from our investment portfolio and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments. Cash flows related to operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and benefits, claims and expenses paid. Cash flows from operating activities have been invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. In analyzing our cash flows, we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities. Changes in cash from financing activities primarily relate to deposits to, and redemptions and benefit payments on, universal life insurance and investment contracts; the issuance of debt and equity securities; the repayment or repurchase of borrowings; the repurchase of common stock presented as treasury stock; and other capital transactions.
The following table sets forth our unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30:
| (Amounts in millions) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash from (used by) operating activities | $40 | $(100) |
| Net cash from (used by) investing activities | 160 | 401 |
| Net cash from (used by) financing activities | (451) | (584) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $(251) | $(283) |
We had net cash inflows from operating activities in the current year compared to net cash outflows in the prior year primarily driven by lower benefit payments in our long-term care insurance business resulting from lower settlement payments, as the implementation of the third legal settlement was materially completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net cash inflows from investing activities were lower in the current year mainly driven by lower net sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities.
Net cash outflows related to financing activities were lower primarily due to lower net withdrawals from our investment contracts in the current year and repurchases of Genworth Holdings’ debt in the prior year that did not recur.
Genworth—holding company liquidity
In consideration of our liquidity, it is important to separate the needs of our holding companies from the needs of their respective subsidiaries. Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings each act as a holding company for their respective subsidiaries and do not have any significant operations of their own. Genworth Financial’s and Genworth Holdings’ principal sources of cash are derived from dividends and other returns of capital from Enact Holdings. Additional sources of cash have included subsidiary payments to them under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances. The primary uses of funds at Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings include payments of principal, interest and other expenses on borrowings or other obligations, payment of holding company general operating expenses (including employee benefits and taxes), payments under guarantees (including guarantees of certain subsidiary obligations), payments to subsidiaries (or, in the case of Genworth Holdings, to Genworth Financial) under tax sharing agreements, investments in CareScout, repurchases of debt securities, repurchases of Genworth Financial’s common stock and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, loans, dividends or other distributions to Genworth Financial.
Management’s focus is predominantly on Genworth Holdings’ liquidity given it is the issuer of our outstanding public debt. We manage our legacy U.S. life insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis and accordingly, do not expect to receive any dividends or other returns of capital from them. Therefore, our liquidity at the holding company level is highly dependent on the performance of Enact Holdings and its ability to pay timely dividends and other forms of capital returns to Genworth Holdings as anticipated. Genworth Financial has the right to appoint a majority of directors to Enact Holdings’ board of directors; however, actions taken by Enact Holdings and its board of directors are subject to and may be limited by the interests of Enact Holdings, including but not limited to, its use of capital for growth opportunities and regulatory requirements. In addition, insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions to Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings by their insurance subsidiaries.
Enact Holdings’ capital allocation strategy includes supporting its existing policyholders, growing its mortgage insurance business, funding attractive new business opportunities and returning capital to its shareholders. On May 1, 2024, Enact Holdings announced the approval by its board of directors of a share repurchase program under which Enact Holdings could repurchase up to $250 million of its outstanding common stock. Enact Holdings completed the repurchase of shares under this authorization in the second quarter of 2025. On April 30, 2025, Enact Holdings announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of its common stock. Genworth Holdings entered into an agreement with Enact Holdings to participate in the share repurchase program in order to maintain its current ownership interest in Enact Holdings. In addition to its share repurchase program, Enact Holdings pays a quarterly dividend. As the majority shareholder, Genworth Holdings received $170 million of capital returns from Enact Holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2025, comprised of share repurchases and quarterly dividends. Enact Holdings expects the timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be opportunistic and will depend on a variety of factors, including Enact Holdings’ stock price, capital availability, business and market conditions, regulatory requirements and debt covenant restrictions, among other factors. Future dividend payments will be subject to quarterly review and approval by Enact Holdings’ board of directors and Genworth Financial and will also be dependent on a variety of economic, market and business conditions, among other considerations.
On July 31, 2023, Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $350 million of share repurchases under its existing share repurchase program that began in May 2022. Pursuant to the program, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, Genworth Financial repurchased 10,797,934 shares of its common stock at an average price of $6.95 per share for a total of $75 million before excise taxes and other costs. Genworth Financial also repurchased 1,266,726 shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.89 per share under the share repurchase program through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in July 2025, leaving approximately $70 million available for repurchase under the program as of July 31, 2025. Further repurchases under the program will continue to be funded from holding company capital, as well as future cash flow generation, including expected future capital returns from Enact Holdings. Under the program, share repurchases may be made at Genworth’s discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and number of future shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including Genworth Financial’s stock price and trading volume, and general business and market conditions, among other factors. The authorization has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.
Our future use of liquidity and capital will prioritize strategic investments in CareScout and returning capital to Genworth Financial’s shareholders through share repurchases. In addition, we also expect to repurchase or redeem outstanding debt from time to time (with cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of new debt and/or the proceeds from asset or stock sales) in open market purchases, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Genworth Holdings had $248 million and $294 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease was principally driven by annual employee benefit payments, which are expected to be offset by subsidiary expense arrangements during 2025, and repurchases of Genworth Financial’s common stock, partially offset by capital returns from Enact Holdings. The $248 million of Genworth Holdings’ cash and cash equivalents included approximately $128 million of advance cash payments from our subsidiaries held for future obligations and the remainder of our planned capital contribution to CareScout Insurance in 2025 to meet its regulatory capital requirements. We do not consider this cash held for future obligations when evaluating holding company liquidity for the purposes of allocating capital or computing our cash position relative to the cash management target discussed below. We believe Genworth Holdings’ unrestricted cash and cash equivalents provide sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations over the next twelve months as well as in the longer term. We expect Genworth Holdings’ liquidity to continue to be impacted by the amounts and timing of Genworth Financial’s share repurchases as well as future dividends and other forms of capital returns from Enact Holdings. In addition, we anticipate lower intercompany cash tax payments to be retained by Genworth Holdings from its subsidiaries going forward.
We actively monitor our liquidity position (most notably at Genworth Holdings), liquidity generation options and the credit markets given changing market conditions. Genworth Holdings’ cash management target is to maintain a cash buffer of two times expected annual external debt interest payments. Genworth Holdings may move below or above this targeted cash buffer during any given quarter due to the timing of cash outflows and inflows or as a result of planned future actions. Management of Genworth Financial continues to evaluate Genworth Holdings’ target level of liquidity as circumstances warrant.
Capital resources and financing activities
Our current capital resource plans do not include any additional debt offerings by Genworth Holdings or minority sales of Enact Holdings. The availability of additional capital resources will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, credit ratings and the performance of and outlook for Enact Holdings and the payment of dividends and other returns of capital therefrom.
Regulated insurance subsidiaries
The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payments of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits and claims, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities are derived from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees, investment income and dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. We manage our legacy U.S. life insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis. Accordingly, these subsidiaries will continue to rely on their statutory capital, significant reserves, prudent management of the in-force blocks and long-term care insurance in-force rate actions to satisfy policyholder obligations.
In our long-term care insurance business, we expect overall claims costs to continue to increase over time as our blocks age, with peak claim years over a decade away. For information on discounted and undiscounted expected future benefit payments, see note 8 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements.” We also expect renewal premiums on the in-force block of our legacy long-term care insurance business to decline over time as the block runs off and as policyholders elect benefit reductions in connection with our in-force rate actions and legal settlements; however, we expect this decline to be partially offset by future approved rate actions.
Given the challenging macroeconomic environment in 2024 and into the first half of 2025, employee costs have increased driven in part by wage inflation, the competitive labor market and low labor participation. Additionally, in our long-term care insurance business, we have observed an increase in the cost of care due in part to elevated inflation. These inflationary pressures have not had a significant impact on our liquidity to date; however, if these conditions persist, they could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
The U.S. economy also faces uncertainty and volatility due to pending tariff negotiations taking place across global markets. The insurance industry and our insurance subsidiaries are not directly impacted by tariffs. However, if the ultimate outcome of the global tariff negotiations significantly impacts the U.S. and global economies and equity and fixed income markets, this could have an adverse impact on the housing industry, investment income, our results of operations and liquidity. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic trends, including inflation and any ancillary effects of the tariff negotiations, to help mitigate any potential adverse impacts to our liquidity.
Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain life insurance and long-term care insurance policies, are typically matched with investments having similar duration such as long-term fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are typically matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals. As of June 30, 2025, our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets were $60.7 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans, bank loans, limited partnership investments and select mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 45% of the carrying value of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets as of June 30, 2025.
Off-balance sheet commitments, guarantees and contractual obligations
As of June 30, 2025, we were committed to fund $1,748 million in limited partnership investments, $394 million in private placement investments, $122 million of bank loan investments and $20 million in commercial mortgage loan investments.
As previously disclosed, in connection with pending litigation between AXA and Santander related to the payment protection insurance (“PPI”) mis-selling losses, Genworth has certain rights to share in any recoveries by AXA to recoup payments it previously made to AXA for the underlying PPI mis-selling losses. Genworth is not a named party in the litigation with Santander, and, therefore, does not ultimately control the litigation. In order to better align the interests of AXA and Genworth in the litigation, in March 2025, Genworth agreed to provide AXA a guarantee for the recovery of certain of AXA’s PPI mis-selling losses not previously reimbursed by Genworth, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the litigation. The guarantee was provided through a stand-by letter of credit (“LC”) issued by a third-party financial institution for the benefit of AXA and a reimbursement agreement between Genworth and the third-party financial institution. Genworth could be required to pay an amount under the guarantee, through the reimbursement agreement, up to £80 million. Whether AXA may draw upon the LC is subject to the amount of any settlement between AXA and Santander, or certain milestones in the court proceedings. On July 25, 2025, the U.K. High Court issued a liability judgment in favor of AXA in the legal proceedings against Santander. The judgment finds Santander liable for AXA’s losses resulting from Santander’s mis-selling. The judge awarded AXA damages, interest, and costs of approximately £680 million ($911 million). Under prior agreements between Genworth and AXA, Genworth is entitled to share in funds that AXA recovers from third parties related to the mis-selling losses. If the judgment is paid in full and appeals, if any, are favorably resolved, Genworth could be entitled to recover approximately $750 million, depending upon the applicable exchange rate at that time. As of June 30, 2025, we have not recorded any amounts related to the guarantee or associated with recoveries in connection with the liability judgment. Recoveries have not been factored into our capital allocation plans. We would expect to deploy any recoveries in line with our stated capital allocation priorities, which are investing in growth through CareScout, returning cash to shareholders through our share repurchase program and opportunistically paying down debt.
Except as disclosed above, as of June 30, 2025, there have been no material additions or changes to guarantees provided by Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings or to our contractual obligations as compared to the amounts disclosed within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2025.
Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
