Assurant Increases Full Year Outlook on Record First Quarter Results
Strong Start to 2026 Led by Record Earnings in Global Lifestyle
2026 to Deliver Strong Underlying Growth Driven
by Global Lifestyle Adjusted EBITDA Growth of Approximately 10%
ATLANTA, May 5, 2026 —Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ), a global company that redefines the boundaries of protection – safeguarding and servicing connected devices, homes, automobiles, and commercial equipment in partnership with the world’s most successful brands, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"Our first quarter performance represented Assurant’s best quarter in history driven by record earnings in Global Lifestyle. Our position as a market leader continues to generate attractive cash flows and reinforces our solid, flexible capital position — enabling us to accelerate share repurchases in the first quarter. We continue to scale capabilities, deepen client partnerships, and execute against a robust pipeline of new client opportunities, supported by the durability of our earnings. We are proud of the long-term outperformance we’ve driven and more excited than ever about the future, including expansion into attractive new markets where we see a clear path to market leadership,” said Assurant President and CEO Keith Demmings.
“Driven by our strong start to the year, we are increasing our 2026 enterprise outlook. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per share, both excluding reportable catastrophes, to grow low single digits, or high single digits on an underlying basis. We also now expect to return $300 to $350 million in share repurchases, at the upper end of our 2026 guidance,” Demmings added.
