Jackson Financial reports Q3 adjusted EPS $4.60, consensus $4.67

Reports Q3 revenue $2.121M vs $2.585M last year. Laura Prieskorn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson, stated, “Jackson’s third quarter results highlight our distribution strength and our continued focus and commitment to offering differentiated and innovative products while generating value for our shareholders. Our retail annuity sales were up 59% from the third quarter of 2023 with growth across every product line, delivering our largest and most diversified quarter of sales since becoming an independent company. Consistent with our move to smaller, periodic operating company distributions, Jackson National Life distributed $300 million to its parent company during the third quarter while increasing our statutory capital and our RBC ratio. We returned $167 million to our common shareholders during the third quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $483 million and positioning us well to achieve our full year 2024 target of $550-650 million. Furthermore, we continue to hold more than $1 billion in excess capital above our targeted minimum RBC ratio of 425%, and we increased our cash at the holding company to nearly $650 million. We anticipate building on this momentum through the remainder of 2024 and into 2025 and continuing to deliver on our mission of helping Americans achieve financial freedom for life.”
