Assured Guaranty Ltd. reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2026, revealing a net income attributable to the company of $39 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, a decrease from $103 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, in the same period last year. For the six months ending June 30, 2026, net income was $127 million, down from $279 million in the prior year. The decline in profitability was attributed to significant foreign exchange losses and lower equity earnings from investments, particularly in a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) fund. Total revenues for the second quarter were $195 million, compared to $281 million in the previous year, while total revenues for the first half of 2026 were $456 million, down from $626 million.

The company’s total assets increased to $12.641 billion as of June 30, 2026, from $12.176 billion at the end of 2025, driven by a rise in investments, particularly fixed-maturity securities, which grew to $6.817 billion from $6.369 billion. However, total liabilities also rose to $7.059 billion from $6.387 billion, primarily due to an increase in the unearned premium reserve. Shareholders' equity attributable to Assured Guaranty Ltd. decreased to $5.559 billion from $5.663 billion, reflecting unrealized losses on investments and share repurchases.

Strategically, Assured Guaranty expanded its operations by acquiring Warwick Company (UK) Limited, which owns Assured Life Re, for $158 million. This acquisition, completed on January 21, 2026, marks the company's entry into the annuity reinsurance market, focusing on U.K. bulk purchase annuities and U.S. multi-year guaranteed annuities. The company anticipates that this acquisition will enhance its revenue streams and complement its existing financial guaranty and asset management businesses.

Operationally, the company reported a gross written premium of $81 million for the second quarter of 2026, a slight decrease from $85 million in the same quarter of 2025. The present value of new business production increased to $79 million from $64 million year-over-year, indicating a positive trend in new business opportunities. The company’s financial guaranty insurance portfolio remains robust, with total net par outstanding rising to $281.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $277.1 billion at the end of 2025.

Looking ahead, Assured Guaranty remains focused on growth in its insurance and asset management businesses while managing risks associated with its annuity reinsurance segment. The company is also actively monitoring economic conditions, including inflation and interest rates, which could impact its operations and financial performance. The management expressed confidence in the company’s liquidity and capital management strategies, ensuring sufficient resources to meet its obligations and pursue growth opportunities.
