Unum Group reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2026, revealing a net income of $256.9 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, down from $335.6 million, or $1.93 per share, in the same period last year. For the first six months, net income was $488.9 million, or $3.01 per share, compared to $524.7 million, or $2.97 per share, in 2025. The company attributed the decline in net income to a net investment loss of $5.2 million in the second quarter and a strategic actions impact of $30.7 million, which included real estate-related costs and employee-related expenses.

Total revenue for the second quarter was $3.37 billion, a slight increase from $3.36 billion in the prior year, driven by a 2.5% rise in premium income to $2.82 billion. However, net investment income fell by 14.7% to $478.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in invested assets supporting the Closed Block long-term care product line. The company also reported a total investment loss of $5.2 million, a significant decrease from the $17.7 million loss recorded in the same quarter of 2025.

In terms of operational metrics, Unum Group's Unum US segment reported adjusted operating income of $329.6 million for the second quarter, up from $318.2 million a year earlier, largely due to increased premium income. The Colonial Life segment also saw an increase in adjusted operating income to $131.4 million, compared to $117.4 million in the previous year. However, the Unum International segment experienced a decline in adjusted operating income to $24.3 million from $41.6 million, primarily due to adverse benefits experience.

The company continues to focus on strategic initiatives, including a planned reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re to cede a portion of its long-term care business, which is expected to close in 2026. This transaction is anticipated to involve the transfer of fixed maturity securities and cash valued at approximately $5.66 billion. Unum Group maintains a strong capital position, with a risk-based capital ratio of approximately 480% for its traditional U.S. insurance subsidiaries, significantly above the regulatory minimum. The company expects to see earnings growth in its core operations throughout 2026, driven by strong premium growth and effective management of its investment portfolio.
