Factors Likely to Shape Q2 Results of AIZ
Solid performance at the Global Housing segment, as well as growth in Global Lifestyle, is likely to have aided the second-quarter performance of Assurant.
Revenues are likely to have benefited from improved net earned premiums and higher net investment income.
Net earned premiums are expected to have benefited from higher premiums in the Global Housing and Global Lifestyle segments.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter net earned premiums, fees, and other income is pegged at $2.6 billion. We expect net earned premiums to increase 4.5% to $2.5 billion in the to-be-reported quarter. We expect fees and other income to increase 12.5% to $422.2 million in the second quarter.
Net investment income is likely to have been affected by reduced partnership income and lower yields on cash and short-term investments. The downside is likely to have been partially offset by an increase in fixed maturity securities related to higher yields and assets. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter net investment income is pegged at $130 million. We expect net investment income to be $121.1 million.
Global Housing is expected to have been driven by Homeowners' top-line growth, including growth in policies in-force and higher average premiums within lender-placed, as well as growth across various specialty products. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $737 million, suggesting growth of 11% from the year-ago quarter’s level. We expect the segment’s revenues to be $734.6 million.
Global Lifestyle is likely to have benefited from Connected Living, from growth in global mobile device protection, and a new financial services program. The Zacks Consensus Estimate and our estimate for the segment’s second-quarter revenues are both pegged at $2.3 billion.
Total benefits, losses, and expenses might have escalated because of higher underwriting and selling, general, and administrative expenses. We expect total expenses to be $2.7 billion.
Continued share buybacks are likely to have aided the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
