Primerica Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Primerica, Inc. (NYSE: PRI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Total revenues of $726.3 million increased 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income of $151.9 million increased 4%, while earnings per diluted share of $4.30 increased 9% compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted operating revenues of $724.3 million increased 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted net operating income of $150.4 million increased 4%, while adjusted operating earnings per diluted share of $4.25 increased 9% compared to the prior year period.

Strong recruiting and licensing trends continue to reflect the attractiveness of Primerica’s business model and fuel the growth of its powerful distribution platform that now exceeds 141,500 life-licensed individuals. The Company’s financial results during the fourth quarter reflected the benefit of a large and stable block of in-force term life insurance policies, higher investment products sales and appreciation of client asset values, while net investment income was higher due to an increase in interest rates and growth in the size of the investment portfolio. The Company continued to experience pressures in senior health, resulting in a small loss in the segment.

“Strong fourth quarter results completed another solid year at Primerica as we continue to meet the growing financial needs of middle-income families,” said Glenn Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Primerica, Inc. “Our expanding sales force plays a crucial role in our success, and I believe 2024 holds exciting opportunities to build momentum as we work toward our biennial convention in July.”

For the full year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recruited nearly 362,000 individuals, resulting in 9% increase in new insurance licenses and 5% growth in the size of the life-licensed sales force. The momentum of the sales force led to an 8% increase in issued term life insurance policies and a 15% increase in new issued term life face amount. Investment product sales were solid at $9.2 billion, declining 8% year-over-year due to pressures from volatile equity markets in the first half of 2023. Comparing financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2022, net income of $576.6 million increased 23%, while earnings per diluted share of $15.94 increased 29%. Excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments, such as the impact of a $60 million goodwill impairment in the prior year, adjusted net operating income of $581.4 million increased 8%, while adjusted operating earnings per diluted share of $16.07 increased 15%.

Life Insurance Licensed Sales Force

Primerica's entrepreneurial business opportunity continues to generate a high degree of interest, leading to a year-over-year increase of 17% in both licensing and recruiting during the fourth quarter. In total, the Company recruited 89,992 individuals and added 13,029 new life-licenses to end the year with a record 141,572 independent life-licensed representatives, up 5% year-over-year.

Term Life Insurance

Sales volume remained robust with 88,757 new term life insurance policies issued during the fourth quarter, a 12% increase compared to the adjusted number of policies issued in the prior year period. Issued term life face amount, which captures the face amount of both new policies issued and additions to in-force policies, increased 16% to $29.3 billion compared to $25.3 billion in the prior year period. Productivity, as measured by the number of policies issued per life-licensed reps per month, increased from an adjusted 0.20 policies in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 0.21 policies in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter revenues of $431.3 million increased 4% compared to the prior year period, while pre-tax operating income of $140.3 million increased 6%, in line with the growth in adjusted direct premiums. The Company believes pressure from higher costs of living has likely contributed to the elevated lapse rates it continues to experience, although there was minimal impact on the fourth quarter’s financial results. The benefits and claims ratio was 58.2% and the DAC amortization and insurance commissions ratio was 12.0%, both largely consistent with the prior year period. Year-over-year, insurance expenses declined $1.6 million due to higher expenses in the prior year period associated with the launch of the new term life insurance products.

Investment and Savings Products

Total product sales of $2.4 billion during the fourth quarter increased 13% compared to the prior year period driven by a combination of stronger demand for variable annuities and U.S. mutual funds. The Company also experienced increased momentum in managed accounts sales following a temporary disruption caused by a platform conversion during the third quarter. Client asset values ended the year at $96.7 billion, up 15% year-over-year.

Fourth quarter revenues of $221.7 million increased 12% compared to the prior year period, while pre-tax operating income of $62.8 million increased 11% driven by higher up-front revenue-generating product sales and an increase in average client asset values. Sales-based revenues and sales-based commission expenses increased 15% and 13%, respectively, benefiting from higher sales of variable annuities. Asset-based revenues increased 12%, outpacing 9% growth in average client asset values. This was due to a continued mix shift toward U.S. managed accounts and products such as the Canadian principal distributor mutual funds for which the Company earns higher asset-based fees in lieu of up-front sales-based compensation. The change in asset-based commission expenses was consistent with the growth in asset-based revenues, when including asset-based commission expenses on Canadian segregated funds which are recognized as insurance commissions and amortization of DAC. Year-over-year, operating expenses increased $3.9 million due to timing of costs associated with the managed account platform conversion.

Senior Health

The fourth quarter results reflect lower sales from a less tenured agent mix. Approximately 17,000 policies were approved by health carriers, which represents 17% fewer policies than the prior year period. The lifetime value of commissions per approved policy (“LTV”) was $1,109 which, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, includes marketing development funds that are now contractually earned on a per policy basis. The contract acquisition costs per approved policy (“CAC”) were $878.

Fourth quarter revenues of $20.1 million declined $7.7 million, or 28% compared to the prior year period, largely driven by lower sales volume in the current period. The pre-tax operating loss of $2.7 million reflected higher CAC due to lower productivity from newer agents. The Company did not contribute cash to the segment in 2023.

Corporate and Other Distributed Products

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the segment recorded an adjusted operating pre-tax loss of $5.4 million compared to an adjusted operating pre-tax loss of $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The improvement was driven by a $7.5 million increase in adjusted net investment income, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in benefits and claims for an adjustment made to the ceded reserves estimate for a closed block of non-term life insurance business.

Taxes

The effective tax rate was 22.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 21.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate in the prior year period was lower than the current year period because it included a tax benefit from revaluing the Canadian deferred tax asset to reflect an incremental Canadian federal tax enacted in December of 2022.

Capital

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased $72.5 million of its common stock, completing the Board of Directors' authorization to repurchase $375 million of common stock during 2023. On November 16, 2023, the Board authorized a new $425 million share repurchase program to occur through December 31, 2024.

Primerica has a strong balance sheet, including invested assets and cash at the holding company of $382 million. Primerica Life Insurance Company’s statutory risk-based capital (RBC) ratio was estimated to be approximately 435% as of December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company presents adjusted direct premiums, other ceded premiums, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income, adjusted stockholders’ equity and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share.

Adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums are net of amounts ceded under coinsurance transactions that were executed concurrent with our initial public offering (the “IPO coinsurance transactions”) for all periods presented. We exclude amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions in measuring adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums to present meaningful comparisons of the actual premiums economically maintained by the Company. Amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions will continue to decline over time as policies terminate within this block of business.

Adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, adjusted net operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the impact of investment gains (losses) and fair value mark-to-market (“MTM”) investment adjustments, including credit impairments, for all periods presented. We exclude investment gains (losses), including credit impairments, and MTM investment adjustments in measuring these non-GAAP financial measures to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results due to items such as the timing of recognizing gains (losses) and market pricing variations prior to an invested asset’s maturity or sale that are not directly associated with the Company’s insurance operations. Adjusted operating income before taxes, adjusted net operating income, and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share also exclude transaction-related expenses/recoveries associated with the purchase of e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “e-TeleQuote”), adjustments to share-based compensation expense for shares exchanged in the business combination, and non-cash goodwill impairment charges. We exclude e-TeleQuote transaction-related expenses/recoveries and non-cash goodwill impairment charges as these are non-recurring items that will cause incomparability between period-over-period results. We exclude adjustments to share-based compensation expense for shares exchanged in the business combination to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results primarily due to the volatility of changes in the fair value of shares which were acquired for no additional consideration. Adjusted operating income before income taxes and adjusted net operating income exclude income attributable to the noncontrolling interest to present only the income that is attributable to stockholders of the Company.

Adjusted stockholders’ equity excludes the impact of net unrealized investment gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. We exclude unrealized investment gains (losses) in measuring adjusted stockholders’ equity as unrealized gains (losses) from the Company’s available-for-sale securities are largely caused by market movements in interest rates and credit spreads that do not necessarily correlate with the cash flows we will ultimately realize when an available-for-sale security matures or is sold. Adjusted stockholders’ equity also excludes the difference in future policy benefits calculated using the current discount rate and future policy benefits calculated using the locked-in discount rate at contract issuance recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. We exclude the impact from the difference in the discount rate in measuring adjusted stockholders' equity as such difference is caused by market movements in interest rates that are not permanent and may not align with the cash flows we will ultimately incur when policy benefits are settled.

Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of similar measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Furthermore, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of the core ongoing business. These measures have limitations and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are attached to this release.
