The decrease in the effective income tax rate during the 2026 period was primarily driven by a decrease in the estimated annual effective tax rate due to the expected realization of federal income tax benefits in 2026 related to the tax equity investment that occurred in the second quarter of 2026, net of the related investment amortization.

Previous report
The previously reported statistical information of redemptions, net flows and change in fair value, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been restated to reflect a correction in our methodology for presenting redemptions and calculating the change in market value for Canadian mutual fund client assets. This restatement has no impact on our financial statements, results of operations, product sales, nor average and ending client asset values during the relevant periods. In addition, we have assessed the qualitative impact of this correction as immaterial, most notably due to the immaterial impact that higher projections of future client asset redemptions would have on future earnings estimates. Redemptions, net flows, and change in fair value, net were previously reported as $(2,721) million, $838 million, and $(3,000) million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Term Life Insurance. We distribute the term life insurance products that we underwrite through our three issuing life insurance company subsidiaries: Primerica Life Insurance Company (“Primerica Life”), National Benefit Life Insurance Company (“NBLIC”), and Primerica Life Insurance Company of Canada (“Primerica Life Canada”). Policies remain in-force until the expiration of the coverage period or until the policyholder ceases to make premium payments. Our in-force term life insurance policies have level premiums for the stated term period. As such, the policyholder pays the same amount each year. Initial policy term periods are between 10 and 35 years. While premiums typically remain level during the initial term period, our claim obligations generally increase as our policyholders age. In addition, we incur significant up-front costs in acquiring new insurance business.

We cede a significant portion of the mortality risk of our term life insurance policies to third-party reinsurers to substantially reduce the uncertainty of our benefits and claims expense. In addition, we incur significant up-front costs in acquiring new insurance business.

The relative strength and stability of the financial markets and economies in the United States and Canada affect our growth and profitability. Our business is, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a number of industry-wide and product-specific trends and conditions. Economic conditions, including unemployment levels, inflation and consumer confidence, influence investment and spending decisions by middle-income consumers, who are generally our primary clients. These conditions and factors also impact prospective recruits’ perceptions of the business opportunity that becoming an independent sales representative offers. Consumer spending and borrowing levels affect how consumers evaluate their savings and debt management plans. In addition, equity market returns and interest rates impact consumer demand for the investment and savings products we distribute. Our customers’ perception of the strength of the capital markets may also influence their decisions to invest in the investment and savings products we distribute. We believe the economic conditions impacting middle-income households underscore their increasing need for our financial education, products and services to assist them in reaching the long-term goal of becoming financially independent.

Previous wording
The cumulative impact of inflation in recent years has led to an elevated cost of living for middle-income families, which may be adversely impacting persistency and demand for term life insurance policies. In the first quarter of 2026, policy lapse rates of term life insurance products remained above long-term historical levels and sales of new term life insurance policies were lower versus the comparable quarter in 2025.
Current wording
The cumulative impact of inflation in recent years has led to an elevated cost of living for middle-income families, which may be adversely impacting persistency and demand for term life insurance policies. In the first half of 2026, policy lapse rates of term life insurance products remained above long-term historical levels and sales of new term life insurance policies were lower versus the comparable period in 2025.
Previous wording
Meanwhile, strong equity market performance in recent periods, favorable demographic trends, and expanded product offerings have provided significant momentum for our Investment and Savings Products (“ISP”) business. Despite volatility in the first quarter of 2026, positive equity market performance from 2024 through 2025 and into the first quarter of 2026 has beneficially influenced product sales and client asset values that drive revenue in the ISP segment.

Previous wording
The rise in market interest rates since the COVID-19 pandemic have largely driven the unrealized losses that have accumulated in our investment portfolio from fixed-maturity securities purchased when long-term interest rates were at historical lows. Although market interest rates edged lower at the end of 2025, interest rates increased in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in higher unrealized losses compared to the end of 2025. We have not recognized losses caused by interest rate volatility in the income statement for securities that we have no present intention to dispose of and we have the ability to hold these investments until maturity or a market price recovery. Elevated interest rates have also led to increases in net investment income as we are able to earn higher returns on our new fixed-maturity securities purchases and cash balances.

Previous wording
The number of new recruits decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 likely due to headwinds presented by economic and other uncertainty.
Current wording
The number of new recruits increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to the timing of special recruiting incentives offered during April 2026. The number of new recruits decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 likely due to headwinds presented by economic uncertainty during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that were partially offset by the timing of special recruiting incentives during the second quarter of 2026.
Previous wording
New life-licensed independent sales representatives decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, largely due to the decline in new recruits in recent periods.
Current wording
New life-licensed independent sales representatives decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, largely due to the decline in new recruits in recent periods as it typically takes around three months for an independent sales representative to obtain a life insurance license.
Previous wording
The number of life-licensed independent sales representatives decreased compared to December 31, 2025 as the number of new life-licensed representatives did not keep pace with the level of agent non-renewal activity experienced during the first quarter of 2026, which was in line with historical trends.
Current wording
The number of life-licensed independent sales representatives as of June 30, 2026 was lower compared to December 31, 2025 as the number of new life-licensed representatives did not keep pace with the level of agent non-renewal and termination activity experienced during the first six months of 2026.

Term Life Insurance Product Sales and Face Amount In-Force.
Current wording
Term Life Insurance Face Amount In-Force and Product Sales.
Previous wording
The face amount of term life insurance policies in-force decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to the translation impact on the face amount of our Canadian term life insurance in-force business during the period. Newly issued term life insurance face amounts were largely offset by policy terminations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Issued face amount decreased during the 2026 period compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to the decrease in the number of new policies issued as discussed above. Policy terminations increased during the 2026 period compared to the same period in 2025 but were largely consistent when measured as a percentage of beginning face amount in-force.
Current wording
The face amount of term life insurance policies in-force increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as the face amount issued exceeded the face amount terminated. Issued face amount decreased during the 2026 periods compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to the decrease in the number of new policies issued as discussed below. Policy terminations also decreased during the 2026 periods compared to the same periods in 2025. During the 2026 periods, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar unfavorably impacted the translated face amount in-force, whereas a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar contributed to the increases in the face amount in-force in the 2025 periods.
Previous wording
The average number of life-licensed independent sales representatives decreased modestly for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the same period in 2025 as a result of the agent licensing activity discussed above.
Current wording
The average number of life-licensed independent sales representatives decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 from the same periods in 2025 as a result of the agent licensing activity discussed above.
Previous wording
New policies issued during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased compared to the same period in 2025, which we believe is attributable to the lower level of newly life-licensed independent sales representatives as well as the continued period of uncertainty that challenged demand for new policies.
Current wording
New policies issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased compared to the same periods in 2025, which we believe is attributable to the lower level of newly life-licensed independent sales representatives as well as macro level uncertainty that challenged demand for new policies.
Previous wording
Productivity in the three months ended March 31, 2026, measured by the average monthly rate of new policies issued per life-licensed independent sales representative, decreased from the same period in 2025. Lower year-over-year productivity is due to the decline in new life insurance policy sales relative to the generally stable size of the life-licensed sales force.
Current wording
Productivity in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, measured by the average monthly rate of new policies issued per life-licensed independent sales representative, decreased from the same periods in 2025.

Previous wording
Product sales. Investment and savings product sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to sustained positive investor sentiment that followed generally strong equity market performance in 2024 through 2025 and continued into the beginning of the first quarter of 2026. In particular, variable annuity product sales continued to grow as the guarantees offered by these products are more appealing to investors given strong equity market performance, expanded product offerings, and elevated interest rates. In addition, the increase in product sales for managed accounts resulted from continued strength in investor demand for these products as well as the expansion of investment strategies offered on our platform. U.S. retail mutual fund sales also continued to increase. These trends have been further aided by the growing population of investors who are reaching retirement age and seeking the protection provided by annuity products as well as the investment advisory services and broader products offered through our managed accounts investments program.
Current wording
Product sales. Investment and savings product sales increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The growth in product sales was driven by our clients’ strong demand for retirement savings products, positive investor sentiment, and the effect of enhanced product offerings we have rolled out in recent years. At a product level, managed accounts product sales increased, fueled by continued strength in investor demand for these products as well as the expansion of investment strategies offered on our advisory platform. U.S. retail mutual fund sales experienced strong growth that was also boosted by favorable seasonal trends combined with sales force initiatives emphasizing the benefits of long-term investing. In addition, variable annuity product sales continued to grow as the guarantees offered by these products are more appealing to investors given strong equity market performance, expanded product offerings, and elevated interest rates. These trends have been further aided by the growing population of investors who are reaching retirement age and seeking the protection provided by annuity products.
Previous wording
Rollforward of client asset values. Ending client asset values decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to the decline in market performance during March 2026, partially offset by positive net inflows. A similar dynamic was observed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as the drop in equity markets during that period exceeded positive inflows.
Current wording
Rollforward of client asset values. Ending client asset values increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 primarily due to strong market performance during both periods.

Total revenues. Total revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to increases in commissions and fees earned in our Investment and Savings Products segment and net premiums in our Term Life Insurance segment. Further discussion related to revenue movements are discussed in detail in the Segment Results section below.
Current wording
Total revenues. Total revenues increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher commissions and fees earned in our Investment and Savings Products segment, investment gains and net investment income in our Corporate and Other Distributed Products segment, and net premiums in our Term Life Insurance segment. Further discussion related to revenue movements are discussed in detail in the Segment Results section below.
Previous wording
Total benefits and expenses. Total benefits and expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 largely due to higher sales commissions in our Investment and Savings Products segment. Also contributing to the year-over-year increase were higher amortization of DAC in our Term Life Insurance segment. Insurance expenses and other operating expenses increased in the 2026 period compared to the 2025 period primarily due to an increase in growth-related costs and technology investments. The increases in total benefits and expenses were partially offset by lower benefits and claims (net of future policy benefits remeasurement (gain) loss) in our Term Life Insurance segment. Further discussion related to benefits and expenses movements are discussed in detail in the Segment Results section below.

Previous wording
Income taxes. The effective income tax rate of 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was largely consistent with the effective income tax rate of 23.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current wording
Income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the effective income tax rate of 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the effective income tax rate during the 2026 period was primarily due to the same factor as described in the three month comparison.
Previous wording
Net premiums. Direct premiums increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 largely due to the layering effect of new policy sales that contributed to growth in the in-force book of business compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums, which includes $7.4 million in higher non-level YRT reinsurance ceded premiums as business not subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions ages, and was reduced by $2.9 million in lower coinsurance ceded premiums due to the run-off of business subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions.
Current wording
Net premiums. Direct premiums increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 largely due to the layering effect of new policy sales that contributed to growth in the in-force book of business compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums, which includes $9.9 million in higher non-level YRT reinsurance ceded premiums as business not subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions ages, and was reduced by $1.0 million in lower coinsurance ceded premiums due to the run-off of business subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions.
Previous wording
Benefits and claims. Benefits and claims decreased modestly during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 despite the increase in net premiums. Higher ceded premiums for YRT reinsurance as noted above contributed to the lack of growth in benefits and claims expense. As the Company cedes higher premiums to YRT reinsurers, it also cedes higher future policy benefits reserves to the YRT reinsurers, which effectively offsets the net amount of benefits and claims expense recognized. Meanwhile, the overall year-over-year decrease in the net benefits and claims expense can be attributed to modest adjustments to claims estimates recognized in 2025.
Current wording
Benefits and claims. Benefits and claims decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 despite the increase in net premiums. Higher ceded premiums for YRT reinsurance as noted above contributed to the decrease in benefits and claims expense. As the Company cedes higher premiums to YRT reinsurers, it also cedes higher future policy benefits reserves to the YRT reinsurers, which effectively offsets the net amount of benefits and claims expense recognized.
Previous wording
Future policy benefits remeasurement (gain) loss. Future policy benefits remeasurement gain increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 and represents differences in experience variances that occurred in each period, primarily from better mortality and lower reserves benefiting from elevated lapse experience compared to our future policy benefit reserve assumptions.
Current wording
Future policy benefits remeasurement (gain) loss. Future policy benefits remeasurement gain decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and represents differences in experience variances that occurred in each period. The future policy benefits remeasurement gains in both periods are largely from better mortality and lower reserves benefiting from elevated lapse experience compared to our future policy benefit reserve assumptions.
Previous wording
Commissions and fees. Commissions and fees increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by higher asset-based and sales-based revenues. Higher asset-based revenues were driven by an increase in average client assets in the 2026 period compared to the same period in 2025 as well as a higher mix of assets under management that earn higher asset-based commissions, namely managed accounts and Canadian mutual funds sold under the principal distributor model. The increase in sales-based revenue was largely the result of strong growth in product sales for variable annuities and, to a lesser extent, U.S. retail mutual funds.

Sales commissions. The increases in asset-based and sales-based commissions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 were largely in line with the increases in asset-based revenues and sales-based revenues, respectively.
Current wording

Previous wording
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 largely due to higher employee compensation, variable growth-related costs, and continued investments in technology and infrastructure.
Current wording
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 largely due to higher variable growth-related costs.
Previous wording
Total revenues. Total revenues increased modestly during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net investment income increased largely due to continued growth of the invested asset portfolio. Investment income net of investment expenses includes interest earned on our held-to-maturity asset, which is offset by interest expense on the surplus note (“Surplus Note”), thereby eliminating any impact on net investment income. Amounts recognized for each line item will remain offsetting and will fluctuate from period to period along with the principal amounts of the held-to-maturity asset and the Surplus Note based on the balance of reserves being contractually supported under a redundant reserve financing transaction used by Vidalia Re, Inc. (“Vidalia Re”). For more information on the Surplus Note, see Note 12 (Debt) to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Annual Report and Note 4 (Investments) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Current wording
Total revenues. Total revenues increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to investment gains (losses) and net investment income. The increase in investment gains (losses) is largely due to more favorable market performance for equity securities in the 2026 period and $2.0 million of investment losses in the 2025 period related to the tender of bonds from a certain issuer that allowed us to reinvest the proceeds at current market interest rates rather than accept replacement bonds from the issuer at less favorable terms. Net investment income increased largely due to continued growth of the invested asset portfolio. Investment income net of investment expenses includes interest earned on our held-to-maturity asset, which is offset by interest expense on the surplus note (“Surplus Note”), thereby eliminating any impact on net investment income. Amounts recognized for each line item will remain offsetting and will fluctuate from period to period along with the principal amounts of the held-to-maturity asset and the Surplus Note based on the balance of reserves being contractually supported under a redundant reserve financing transaction used by Vidalia Re, Inc.

Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to timing differences in payments made for income tax remittances. The largest timing difference resulted from a payment made in the first quarter of 2026 for a transferable federal tax credit that was used to offset estimated federal income tax payments in the fourth quarter of 2025. Also contributing to the change in cash flows provided by operating activities was the timing of purchases, maturities, and sales of financial instruments classified as trading securities.

The NAIC has adopted a model regulation for determining reserves using a principle-based approach (“principle-based reserves” or “PBR”), which is designed to reflect each insurer’s own experience in calculating reserves and move away from a single prescriptive reserving formula. Primerica Life adopted PBR as of January 1, 2018 and NBLIC adopted the New York amended version of PBR effective January 1, 2021. PBR significantly reduced the redundant statutory policy benefit reserve requirements while still ensuring adequate liabilities are held. The regulation only applies for business issued after the effective dates. See Note 5 (Investments), Note 12 (Debt) and Note 18 (Commitments and Contingent Liabilities) to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Annual Report for more information on the Vidalia Re Redundant Reserve Financing Transaction.

Net premiums. Direct premiums increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 largely due to the layering effect of new policy sales that contributed to growth in the in-force book of business compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums, which includes $17.3 million in higher non-level YRT reinsurance ceded premiums as business not subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions ages, and was reduced by $3.9 million in lower coinsurance ceded premiums due to the run-off of business subject to the IPO coinsurance transactions.
