Aflac Incorporated, a Fortune 500 company, specializes in providing financial protection through supplemental health and life insurance products, primarily operating in the U.S. and Japan. The company is noted for its ethical practices and strong market presence in both regions.
In the third quarter of 2024, Aflac reported a decline in total revenues to $2.9 billion, resulting in a net loss of $93 million, primarily attributed to foreign exchange-related losses due to a strengthening yen. Despite these challenges, adjusted earnings rose to $1.2 billion, marking a 10.6% increase from the previous year.
Key financial metrics highlighted a significant impact from foreign exchange fluctuations, with the yen/dollar exchange rate weakening by 2.0% compared to the previous year. Aflac Japan faced a decrease in net earned premiums, while Aflac U.S. saw a slight increase in net earned premiums. The company’s shareholders’ equity showed growth, reaching $24.8 billion, reflecting a positive trajectory in equity valuation.
Looking ahead, Aflac’s management remains focused on driving profitable growth in both the U.S. and Japan by introducing new products and enhancing distribution strategies. The company aims to maintain its commitment to shareholder value through prudent financial management and strategic investments.
