News Release
Aflac Incorporated Announces Fourth Quarter Results,

Reiterates Increase in First Quarter Dividend of 5.2%
COLUMBUS, Ga. - February 4, 2026 - Aflac Incorporated (NYSE: AFL) today reported its fourth quarter results.
Total revenues were $4.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $5.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net earnings were $1.4 billion, or $2.64 per diluted share, compared with $1.9 billion, or $3.42 per diluted share a year ago.
Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025 included net investment gains of $537 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared with net investment gains of $1.0 billion, or $1.86 per diluted share a year ago. These net investment gains were driven by net gains of $588 million on certain derivatives and foreign currency activities; net losses from sales and redemptions of $51 million; a $25 million gain from an increase in the fair value of equity securities; and no impairments; offset by $25 million of current expected credit losses (CECL).
Adjusted earnings* in the fourth quarter were $818 million, compared with $865 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting a decrease of 5.4%. Adjusted earnings per diluted share* increased 0.6% to $1.57 in the quarter. Variable investment income ran $12 million below the company's long-term return expectations. The average yen/dollar exchange rate in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 154.20, or 1.2% weaker than the average rate of 152.35 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The weaker yen/dollar exchange rate did not impact adjusted earnings per share.
Shareholders’ equity was $29.5 billion, or $56.85 per share, at December 31, 2025, compared with $26.1 billion, or $47.45 per share, at December 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the fourth quarter included a cumulative increase of $8.0 billion for the effect of the change in discount rate assumptions on insurance reserves, compared with a corresponding cumulative increase of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2024 and a net unrealized loss on investment securities and derivatives of $1.8 billion, compared with a net unrealized gain of $4 million at December 31, 2024. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the fourth quarter also included an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $4.8 billion, compared with an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $5.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity in the fourth quarter was 19.0%.
For the full year of 2025, total revenues were down 9.3% to $17.2 billion, compared with $18.9 billion in the full year of 2024. Net earnings were $3.6 billion, or $6.82 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 billion, or $9.63 per diluted share, for the full year of 2024. Adjusted earnings for the full year of 2025 were $4.0 billion, or $7.49 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 billion, or $7.21 per diluted share, in 2024. For the full year, the average exchange rate was 149.32, or 1.1% stronger than the rate of 150.97 a year ago. Excluding the positive impact of $0.04 per share from the stronger yen/dollar exchange rate, adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 3.5% to $7.46 for the full year of 2025.
Shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI (or adjusted book value*) was $28.0 billion, or $54.06 per share at December 31, 2025, compared with $29.1 billion, or $52.87 per share, at December 31, 2024. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement* was $22.1 billion, or $42.66 per share at December 31, 2025, compared with $23.4 billion, or $42.46 per share, at December 31, 2024. The annualized adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement* in the fourth quarter was 14.5%.
AFLAC JAPAN
In yen terms, Aflac Japan's net earned premiums were ¥252.6 billion for the quarter, or 1.9% lower than a year ago, mainly due to limited pay products reaching paid-up status. Adjusted net investment income decreased 3.9% to ¥97.4 billion, primarily driven by lower floating rate income on the dollar-denominated portfolio and lower variable net investment income partially offset by higher dollar-denominated fixed income due to higher volume. Total adjusted revenues in yen declined 2.4% to ¥351.2 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings in yen for the quarter declined 3.5% on a reported basis to ¥109.8 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings also decreased 4.4% on a currency-neutral basis. The pretax adjusted profit margin for the Japan segment was 31.3%, compared with 31.6% a year ago.
For the full year, net earned premiums in yen were ¥1.0 trillion, or 3.9% lower than a year ago. Adjusted net investment income decreased 5.9% to ¥385.8 billion. Total adjusted revenues in yen were down 4.4% to ¥1.4 trillion. Pretax adjusted earnings were ¥513.7 billion, or 2.7% lower than a year ago. As a result, the pretax adjusted profit margin for the Japan segment was 36.7%, compared with 36.0% a year ago.

AFLAC U.S.
Aflac U.S. net earned premiums increased 4.0% to $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year, reflecting improved sales. Adjusted net investment income decreased 2.8% to $207 million, primarily due to a reduction in floating rate assets and corresponding rates. Total adjusted revenues were up 3.3% to $1.7 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings were $300 million, 9.1% lower than a year ago, reflecting higher benefits and expenses, partially offset by higher premiums. As a result, the pretax adjusted profit margin for the U.S. segment was 17.4%, compared with 19.7% a year ago.
For the full year, net earned premiums increased 2.9% to $6.0 billion. Adjusted net investment income decreased 2.0% to $830 million. Total adjusted revenues were up 2.4% to $6.9 billion.

CORPORATE AND OTHER
For the quarter, total adjusted revenues decreased 4.2% to $272 million compared to the prior year. Total premiums decreased on closed blocks of business. Total benefits and adjusted expenses increased $15 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher costs pertaining to business operations and higher interest expense, partially offset by lower net benefits and claims. Pretax adjusted earnings were a loss of $31 million, compared with a loss of $4 million a year ago.
For the full year, total adjusted revenues increased 26.8% to $1.3 billion. Pretax adjusted earnings were $101 million, compared with $32 million a year ago.

OUTLOOK
Commenting on the company’s results, Aflac Incorporated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos stated: "Aflac delivered solid earnings for the quarter and the year. These results reflect our focused efforts to execute on our strategy of creating long-term value for shareholders.
"Looking at our operations in Japan, I am pleased with Aflac Japan’s quarterly sales increase of 15.7% and annual sales increase of 16.0%. These strong results benefited largely from sales of our cancer insurance product Miraito. We continue to promote awareness for third sector protection to new and younger customers through our innovative first sector product Tsumitasu, which was repriced for new policies effective in September. Plus, we launched our new medical policy Anshin Palette in late December and will be promoting all three products in 2026. Overall, I believe we are advancing the right strategy focused on sales of third sector products to new and younger customers to provide them with integrated financial protection and services throughout their different stages of life.
"In the U.S., I continue to be encouraged by our ability to add $1.6 billion in new sales for the year, but more importantly, maintain strong persistency of 79.2%. As a result, we saw an increase of 4.0% in net earned premiums for the fourth quarter and 2.9% for the year. This is part of our focus on more profitable growth through strong underwriting discipline and improved productivity of agents and brokers. We also expect to continue our prudent approach to expense management and maintaining a strong pretax margin.
"We continue to generate strong capital and cash flows while maintaining our commitment to prudent liquidity and capital management. Our investments continue to produce strong net investment income that fits the needs of our operations in Japan, the U.S. and Bermuda. We treasure our 2025 milestone of 43 consecutive years of dividend increases and remain committed to extending this record, supported by our financial strength. Additionally, I am pleased with the Board's decision to increase the first quarter 2026 dividend by 5.2%. We repurchased $800 million in shares for the quarter and $3.5 billion for the year. We intend to continue our balanced approach of investing in growth and driving long-term operating efficiencies."

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document includes references to the Company’s financial performance measures which are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) (non-U.S. GAAP). The financial measures exclude items that the Company believes may obscure the underlying fundamentals and trends in insurance operations because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations.
Due to the size of Aflac Japan, where the functional currency is the Japanese yen, fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on reported results. In periods when the Japanese yen weakens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in fewer U.S. dollars being reported. When the Japanese yen strengthens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in more U.S. dollars being reported. Consequently, Japanese yen weakening has the effect of suppressing current period results in relation to the comparable prior period, while Japanese yen strengthening has the effect of magnifying current period results in relation to the comparable prior period. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in Japanese yen and never converted into U.S. dollars but translated into U.S. dollars for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, which results in foreign currency impact to earnings, cash flows and book value on a U.S. GAAP basis. Management evaluates the Company's financial performance both including and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation to monitor, respectively, cumulative currency impacts and the currency-neutral operating performance over time. The average yen/dollar exchange rate is based on the published MUFG Bank, Ltd. telegraphic transfer middle rate (TTM).
The company defines the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release as follows:
•Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non-recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively.
•Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively.
•Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity.
•Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity.
•Amortized hedge costs/income represent costs/income incurred or recognized as a result of using foreign currency derivatives to hedge certain foreign currency exchange risks in the Company's Japan segment or in Corporate and other. These amortized hedge
costs/income are estimated at the inception of the derivatives based on the specific terms of each contract and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the derivative. The Company believes that amortized hedge costs/income measure the periodic currency risk management costs/income related to hedging certain foreign currency exchange risks and are an important component of net investment income. There is no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for amortized hedge costs/income.
•Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively.
•Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively.
•Adjusted net investment income is net investment income adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, and ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are reclassified from net investment gains and losses to net investment income. The Company considers adjusted net investment income important because it provides a more comprehensive understanding of the costs and income associated with the Company’s investments and related hedging strategies. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment income is net investment income.
•Adjusted net investment gains and losses are net investment gains and losses adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are both reclassified to net investment income, and iii) the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable, which is reclassified to interest expense as a component of total adjusted expenses. The Company considers adjusted net investment gains and losses important as it represents the remainder amount that is considered outside management’s control, while excluding the components that are within management’s control and are accordingly reclassified to net investment income and interest expense. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment gains and losses is net investment gains and losses.

GLOSSARY OF OPERATIONAL MEASURES
The Company defines the operational measures included in this document as follows:
•Operating ratios are used to evaluate the Company's financial condition and profitability. Examples include: (1) Ratios to total adjusted revenues, which present expenses as percentage of total revenues and (2) Ratios to total premium, including benefit ratio. Operating ratios include: Benefit Ratio and Expense Ratio.
•New annualized premium sales are sometimes referred to as new sales or sales. An operating measure that is not reflected on the Company's financial statements. New annualized premium sales generally represent annual premiums on policies and riders the Company sold and incremental increases from policy conversions that would be collected over a 12-month period assuming the policies remain in force for that entire period. For Aflac Japan, new annualized premium sales are determined by applications submitted during the reporting period. For Aflac U.S., new annualized premium sales are determined by applications that are issued during the reporting period. Policy conversions are defined as the positive difference in the annualized premium when a policy upgrades in the current reporting period. The Company believes that this metric is a key indicator of the Company's future source of earnings.
•Premium persistency is the percentage of premiums remaining in force at the end of a period, usually one year, and presented on a trailing 12-month average basis. For example, 95% persistency would mean that 95% of the premiums in force at the beginning of a period are still in force at the end of the period. The Company believes that this metric is a key driver of in force levels, which is a key measure of the size of the Company's business and future sources of earnings.

Financial Supplement
Fourth Quarter 2025
This document is a statistical supplement to Aflac’s quarterly earnings release. Throughout the presentation, amounts presented may not foot due to rounding. As you review the supplement, please note the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and definitions found at the back of this document.
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Update 2018-12 Financial Services - Insurance: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, as clarified and amended by (i) ASU 2019-09 Financial Services - Insurance: Effective Date, and (ii) ASU 2020-11 Financial Services - Insurance: Effective Date and Early Application (collectively, “LDTI”) as of January 1, 2023. The amended guidance is applied as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements, which results in a January 1, 2021 Transition Date. In conjunction with the adoption of LDTI, the Company changed its practice of recording the change in the deferred profit liability (DPL) on products with limited-payment features from the benefits and claims, net line item to the net earned premiums line item in the consolidated statement of earnings. This change in presentation has no impact on net earnings. All quarterly and annual amounts for 2021 and 2022 presented herein reflect these changes for LDTI and DPL.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes references to the Company’s financial performance measures which are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) (non-U.S. GAAP). The financial measures exclude items that the Company believes may obscure the underlying fundamentals and trends in insurance operations because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations.
Due to the size of Aflac Japan, where the functional currency is the Japanese yen, fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on reported results. In periods when the Japanese yen weakens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in fewer U.S. dollars being reported. When the Japanese yen strengthens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in more U.S. dollars being reported. Consequently, Japanese yen weakening has the effect of suppressing current period results in relation to the comparable prior period, while Japanese yen strengthening has the effect of magnifying current period results in relation to the comparable prior period. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in Japanese yen and never converted into U.S. dollars but translated into U.S. dollars for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, which results in foreign currency impact to earnings, cash flows and book value on a U.S. GAAP basis. Management evaluates the Company's financial performance both including and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation to monitor, respectively, cumulative currency impacts and the currency-neutral operating performance over time. The average yen/dollar exchange rate is based on the published MUFG Bank, Ltd. telegraphic transfer middle rate (TTM).
The Company defines the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this document as follows:
| | | | | |
• | Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. |
| Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. |
• | Adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment is adjusted book value plus unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment. The Company considers adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment important as it excludes certain components of accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management's control; however, it includes the impact of foreign currency as a result of the significance of Aflac’s Japan operation. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted book value including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses and pension liability adjustment is total book value.
|
• | Adjusted debt is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds and all pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt is notes payable. |
• | Adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is notes payable. |
| | | | | |
• | Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non-recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. |
• | Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. |
• | Amortized hedge costs/income represent costs/income incurred or recognized as a result of using foreign currency derivatives to hedge certain foreign currency exchange risks in the Company's Japan segment or in Corporate and other. These amortized hedge costs/income are estimated at the inception of the derivatives based on the specific terms of each contract and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the derivative. The Company believes that amortized hedge costs/income measure the periodic currency risk management costs/income related to hedging certain foreign currency exchange risks and are an important component of net investment income. There is no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for amortized hedge costs/income. |
• | Adjusted net investment gains and losses are net investment gains and losses adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are both reclassified to net investment income, and iii) the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable, which is reclassified to interest expense as a component of total adjusted expenses. The Company considers adjusted net investment gains and losses important as it represents the remainder amount that is considered outside management’s control, while excluding the components that are within management’s control and are accordingly reclassified to net investment income and interest expense. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment gains and losses is net investment gains and losses. |
• | Adjusted net investment income is net investment income adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, and ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are reclassified from net investment gains and losses to net investment income. The Company considers adjusted net investment income important because it provides a more comprehensive understanding of the costs and income associated with the Company’s investments and related hedging strategies. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment income is net investment income. |
• | Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. |
• | Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. |

Operational Measures
The Company defines the operational measures included in this document as follows:
Operating ratios are used to evaluate the Company's financial condition and profitability. Examples include: (1) Ratios to total adjusted revenues, which present expenses as percentage of total revenues and (2) Ratios to total premium, including benefit ratio. Operating ratios include: Benefit Ratio and Expense Ratio.
New annualized premium sales are sometimes referred to as new sales or sales. An operating measure that is not reflected on the Company's financial statements. New annualized premium sales generally represent annual premiums on policies and riders the Company sold and incremental increases from policy conversions that would be collected over a 12-month period assuming the policies remain in force for that entire period. For Aflac Japan, new annualized premium sales are determined by applications submitted during the reporting period. For Aflac U.S., new annualized premium sales are determined by applications that are issued during the reporting period. Policy conversions are defined as the positive difference in the annualized premium when a policy upgrades in the current reporting period. The Company believes that this metric is a key indicator of the Company's future source of earnings.
Annualized premiums in force is the amount of gross premium that a policyholder must pay over a full year in order to keep coverage. The growth of net earned premiums is directly affected by the change in premiums in force and by the change in weighted-average yen/dollar exchange rates. Management uses this measure as a key indicator of source of earnings.
Premium persistency is the percentage of premiums remaining in force at the end of a period, usually one year, and presented on a trailing 12-month average basis. For example, 95% persistency would mean that 95% of the premiums in force at the beginning of a period are still in force at the end of the period. The Company believes that this metric is a key driver of in force levels, which is a key measure of the size of the Company's business and future sources of earnings.
New money yield is gross yields earned on purchases of fixed maturities, loan receivables, and equities. Purchases exclude capitalized interest, securities lending/repurchase agreements, short-term/cash activity, and alternatives. New money yield for equities is based on the assumed dividend yield at the time of purchase. The new money yield for Aflac Japan excludes the impact of any derivatives and associated amortized hedge costs associated with USD-denominated investments. Management uses this metric as a leading indicator of future investment earning potential.
Return on average invested assets is net investment income as a percentage of average invested assets during the period. Management uses this metric to demonstrate how the Company's actual net investment income results represent an overall return on the portfolio to provide a more comparative metric as the size of the Company's investment portfolio changes over time.
Portfolio book yield expressed as a percentage of the investments' book value, represents the gross return expected to be realized on a security at a point in time and is calculated for fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage and other loans and equity securities. It excludes amortized hedge costs, investments in limited partnerships and short-term securities. The yield assumes any early redemption options will be exercised. Management uses this metric to measure the future total return on the portfolio.
Average weekly producer is the total number of writing agents, including brokers, in the U.S. who have produced greater than $0.00 during the production week - excluding any manual adjustments - divided by the number of weeks in the time period. The Company believes this metric allows sales management to monitor progress and needs, as well as serve as a leading indicator of future production capacity.
Aflac U.S. productivity is total new annualized sales divided by average weekly producer and is calculated on a quarterly and annual basis. The Company believes this metric allows sales management to monitor agent progress and needs, as well as serve as a leading indicator of future production capacity.
Aflac U.S. recruited agents/brokers represent a newly contracted agent or broker who has never held a contract with the Company before or previously held a contract but has been separated from the Company for more than 365 days. The distinction between a career recruit and a broker recruit is determined by the type of contract the individual signs. The Company believes this metric is an important indicator of future production potential.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
This document includes references to the Company’s financial performance measures which are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) (non-U.S. GAAP). The financial
measures exclude items that the Company believes may obscure the underlying fundamentals and trends in insurance operations because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations.
Definitions of the Company’s non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and applicable reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the presentation slides that accompany this transcript.
Due to the size of Aflac Japan, where the functional currency is the Japanese yen, fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on reported results. In periods when the Japanese yen weakens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in fewer U.S. dollars being reported. When the Japanese yen strengthens, translating Japanese yen into U.S. dollars results in more U.S. dollars being reported. Consequently, Japanese yen weakening has the effect of suppressing current period results in relation to the comparable prior period, while Japanese yen strengthening has the effect of magnifying current period results in relation to the comparable prior period. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in Japanese yen and never converted into U.S. dollars but translated into U.S. dollars for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, which results in foreign currency impact to earnings, cash flows and book value on a U.S. GAAP basis. Management evaluates the Company's financial performance both including and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation to monitor, respectively, cumulative currency impacts and the currency-neutral operating performance over time. The average yen/dollar exchange rate is based on the published MUFG Bank, Ltd. telegraphic transfer middle rate (TTM).

Q4 2025 CFO Video Update
February 4, 2026
Thank you for joining me as I provide a financial update on Aflac Incorporated's results.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 0.6% year over year to $1.57, excluding effect of foreign currency in the quarter. In this quarter, remeasurement gains on reserves totaled $36 million, reducing benefits. Variable investment income ran $12 million below our long-term return expectations.
Adjusted book value per share excluding foreign currency remeasurement increased 0.5%. The adjusted ROE was 11.7%, and 14.5% excluding foreign currency remeasurement, a solid spread to our cost of capital. Overall, we view these results in the quarter as solid.
Starting with our Japan segment, net earned premiums in yen terms for the quarter declined 1.9%. Aflac Japan's underlying earned premiums1 – which excludes the impact of deferred profit liability, paid-up policies and reinsurance – declined 1.2%. We believe this metric provides clearer insight into long-term premium trends.
Japan’s total benefit ratio came in at 65.0% for the quarter, down 150 basis points year over year. We estimate the impact from reserve remeasurement gains to be approximately 110 basis points favorable to the benefit ratio in Q4 2025. Long-term experience trends, as they relate to treatments of cancer and hospitalization, continue to be in place, leading to continued favorable underwriting experience.
Persistency remained solid year over year and in line with our expectations at 93.1%. With refreshed product introductions, we generally see an uptick in lapse and reissue activity, causing reported lapsation to increase. We did experience this uptick with our recently launched cancer insurance product, but overall lapses remain within our expectations. Lapses on our first sector savings block remain low and in line with previous periods, despite the increase in yen interest rates.
Our expense ratio in Japan was 22.0% for the quarter, up 120 basis points year over year, driven primarily by sales promotion expenses associated with higher sales.
For the quarter, adjusted net investment income in yen terms was down 3.9%, primarily driven by lower floating rate income on our USD book and lower variable net investment income partially offset by higher USD fixed income due to higher volume.
The pretax margin for Japan in the quarter was 31.3%, down 30 basis points year over year, a very good result.
Turning to U.S. results, net earned premiums were up 4.0%. While premium persistency declined slightly by 10 basis points year over year, it remains strong at 79.2%.
Our total benefit ratio came in at 48.6%, 230 basis points higher than Q4 2024, driven by prior year endorsements and higher claims activity on our individual voluntary block as well has a higher benefit ratio on group life and disability. We estimate that reserve remeasurement gains impacted the benefit ratio by approximately 140 basis points in the quarter.
Our expense ratio in the U.S. was 40.4%, up 10 basis points year over year, primarily driven by timing of spend from previous quarters.
1Aflac Japan's underlying earned premiums is a measure that is calculated in Japanese yen and adjusts Aflac Japan’s net earned premiums for significant variables including the increase in paid-up policies between beginning of the comparable period and the end of the period presented, the change in deferred profit liability on limited payment contracts, and all Aflac Japan ceded premiums through both internal and external reinsurance. The change in Aflac Japan’s underlying earned premiums is reflected as a percentage change. The Company believes this measure is useful for investors to understand the impacts these items have on Aflac Japan's net earned premiums.
Our growth initiatives – group life & disability, network dental and vision and direct to consumer – increased the expense ratio by 60 basis points in the quarter. This is in line with our expectations, as these businesses continue to scale.
Adjusted net investment income in the U.S. was down 2.8% for the quarter, primarily driven by a reduction in floating rate assets and corresponding rates.
Profitability in the U.S. segment was solid, with a pretax margin of 17.4%, a 230 basis points decrease compared with a strong quarter a year ago.
In Corporate and other, we recorded pretax adjusted loss of $31 million in the quarter. Total premiums decreased on closed blocks of business. Adjusted net investment income was $1 million higher than last year due to a combination of lower volume of tax credit investments and higher asset balances. Our tax credit investments impacted the net investment income line for U.S. GAAP purposes negatively by $43 million in the quarter with an associated credit to the tax line. The total fourth quarter earnings benefit from tax credit investments was $13 million. Adjusted earnings declined due to lower revenues and higher adjusted expenses driven primarily by higher costs pertaining to business operations and higher interest expense partially offset by lower net benefits and claims.
We continue to be pleased with the performance of our investment portfolio. During the quarter, we did not record any charge-offs for the commercial real estate portfolio. Additionally, we did not foreclose on any properties in the period.
On our portfolio of first lien senior secured middle market loans, we recorded charge-offs of $22 million in the quarter.
For U.S. statutory, we recorded a $3 million valuation allowance on mortgage loans as an unrealized loss during the quarter. On a Japan FSA basis, there were net realized gains of ¥380 million for securities impairment in Q4, and we booked a valuation allowance of ¥87 million related to transitional real estate loans. This is well within our expectations and has a limited impact on regulatory earnings and capital.
In the third quarter of 2025, we enhanced our liquidity and capital flexibility by $2 billion with the creation of two off-balance sheet, pre-capitalized trusts that issued securities commonly referred to as P-Caps. With increased off-balance sheet capital resources and improved liquidity flexibility – we have lowered our minimum liquidity balance at the holding company by $750 million to $1 billion. This means that Aflac Inc. unencumbered liquidity stood at $4.1 billion, which was $3.1 billion above our minimum balance at the end of the quarter. The full P-Cap facility remains undrawn.
Our adjusted leverage was 21.4% for the quarter, which is within our target range of 20% to 25%. As we hold approximately 63% of our debt in yen, this leverage ratio is impacted by moves in the yen/dollar exchange rate. This is intentional and part of our enterprise hedging program – protecting the economic value of Aflac Japan in U.S. dollar terms.
Our capital position remains strong. We ended the quarter with an SMR above 970% and estimated regulatory ESR with the undertaking-specific parameter, or USP, of 253%. We estimate that the USP benefits the regulatory ESR by 18 points. We estimate our combined RBC to be 575%. These are strong capital ratios, which we actively monitor, stress and manage to withstand market volatility and credit cycles as well as external shocks.
We last updated our ESR sensitivities at our Financial Analysts Briefing in December 2024. Since then, we have seen significant movements in both the dollar/yen and yen interest rates, so we wanted to provide updated estimates before the ESR comes into effect on March 31. We have deliberately improved our ALM during this time, which has led to reduced exposure to interest rate risk. We generally have lowered our sensitivities to market risk factors.
We have also refreshed the sensitivity analysis related to our Combined RBC ratio in the U.S. I would characterize these refreshed estimates also as being in line with what we shared at our FAB in December 2024.
Given the strength of our capital and liquidity, we repurchased $800 million of our own stock and paid dividends of $303 million in Q4, offering good relative IRR on these capital deployments. We will continue to be flexible and tactical in
the way we manage the balance sheet and deploy capital in order to drive strong risk-adjusted ROE with a meaningful spread to our cost of capital.
Before concluding, I would like to address our 2026 outlook. At our 2024 Financial Analysts Briefing, I provided ranges for net earned premiums, benefit and expense ratios and pretax profit margin for each segment for 2025 through 2027. These ranges remain substantially intact for 2026, but with a couple of exceptions.
For Aflac Japan, we expect underlying earned premiums to decline 1% to 2% in 2026, and we also expect the expense ratio to be in the 20% to 23% range. However, we expect the benefit ratio in Japan will be in the 60% to 63% range and the pretax profit margin to be in the 33% to 36% range.
In the U.S., we continue to expect net earned premium growth to be at the lower end of the 3% to 6% range. We also expect the benefit ratio for 2026 to be in the 48% to 52% range and the expense ratio to be in the 36% to 39% range as we continue to scale new business lines. At the same time, we expect pretax profit margin for 2026 to be in the range of 17% to 20%.
Thank you. I look forward to discussing our results in further detail on tomorrow's earnings call.

Appendix
Glossary of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures The Company defines these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as follows: • Adjusted earnings are adjusted revenues less benefits and adjusted expenses. Adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are the adjusted earnings for the period divided by the weighted average outstanding shares (basic or diluted) for the period presented. The adjustments to both revenues and expenses account for certain items that are outside of management’s control because they tend to be driven by general economic conditions and events or are related to infrequent activities not directly associated with insurance operations. Adjusted revenues are U.S. GAAP total revenues excluding adjusted net investment gains and losses. Adjusted expenses are U.S. GAAP total acquisition and operating expenses including the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable but excluding any non-recurring or other items not associated with the normal course of the Company’s insurance operations and that do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of these financial measures is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (basic or diluted) are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. • Adjusted net investment gains and losses are net investment gains and losses adjusted for i) amortized hedge cost/income related to foreign currency exposure management strategies and certain derivative activity, ii) net interest income/expense from foreign currency and interest rate derivatives associated with certain investment strategies, which are both reclassified to net investment income, and iii) the impact of interest from derivatives associated with notes payable, which is reclassified to interest expense as a component of total adjusted expenses. The Company considers adjusted net investment gains and losses important as it represents the remainder amount that is considered outside management’s control, while excluding the components that are within management’s control and are accordingly reclassified to net investment income and interest expense. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted net investment gains and losses is net investment gains and losses. • Adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact are computed using the average foreign exchange rate for the comparable prior-year period, which eliminates fluctuations driven solely by foreign exchange rate changes. Adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact is adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact important because a significant portion of the Company's business is conducted in Japan and foreign exchange rates are outside management’s control; therefore, the Company believes it is important to understand the impact of translating foreign currency (primarily Japanese yen) into U.S. dollars. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted earnings excluding current period foreign currency impact and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding current period foreign currency impact are net earnings and net earnings per share, respectively. • Adjusted return on equity is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. Management uses adjusted return on equity to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s insurance operations on a consolidated basis and believes that a presentation of this financial measure is vitally important to an understanding of the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s insurance business. The Company considers adjusted return on equity important as it excludes components of accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. 15
Glossary of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures (cont’d) The Company defines these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as follows: • Adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is annualized adjusted earnings divided by average shareholders’ equity, excluding both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. The Company considers adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement important because it excludes both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted return on equity excluding foreign currency remeasurement is return on equity as determined using annualized net earnings and average total shareholders’ equity. • Adjusted debt is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds and all pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt is notes payable. • Adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is the sum of notes payable, as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet, excluding pre-funding of debt maturities. The Company considers adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds important as it measures outstanding debt consistently with expectations of the Company’s rating agency stakeholders. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for adjusted debt including 50% of subordinated debentures and perpetual bonds is notes payable. • Adjusted book value is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Adjusted book value per common share is adjusted book value at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share important as they exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, which fluctuates due to market movements that are outside management’s control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value and adjusted book value per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. • Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement is the U.S. GAAP book value (representing total shareholders’ equity), less accumulated other comprehensive income as recorded on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet and excluding the cumulative (beginning January 1, 2021) foreign currency gains/losses associated with i) foreign currency remeasurement and ii) sales and redemptions of invested assets. Adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share is adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement at the period end divided by the ending outstanding common shares for the period presented. The Company considers adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share important as they exclude both accumulated other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, which fluctuate due to market movements that are outside management's control. The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement and adjusted book value excluding foreign currency remeasurement per common share are total book value and total book value per common share, respectively. 16
Glossary of Operational Measures The Company defines the operational measures included in this document as follows: • Operating ratios are used to evaluate the Company's financial condition and profitability. Examples include: (1) Ratios to total adjusted revenues, which present expenses as percentage of total revenues and (2) Ratios to total premium, including benefit ratio. Operating ratios include: Benefit Ratio and Expense Ratio. • Premium persistency is the percentage of premiums remaining in force at the end of a period, usually one year, and presented on a trailing 12-month average basis. For example, 95% persistency would mean that 95% of the premiums in force at the beginning of a period are still in force at the end of the period. The Company believes that this metric is a key driver of in force levels, which is a key measure of the size of the Company's business and future sources of earnings. • Aflac Inc. unencumbered liquidity predominately includes assets that are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and certain marketable fixed-maturity securities, excluding assets that are pledged or otherwise committed. The Company believes this measure is important in understanding holding company liquidity. • Aflac Japan's underlying earned premiums is a measure that is calculated in Japanese yen and adjusts Aflac Japan’s net earned premiums for significant variables including the increase in paid-up policies between beginning of the comparable period and the end of the period presented, the change in deferred profit liability on limited payment contracts, and all Aflac Japan ceded premiums through both internal and external reinsurance. The change in Aflac Japan’s underlying earned premiums is reflected as a percentage change. The Company believes this measure is useful for investors to understand the impacts these items have on Aflac Japan's net earned premiums. 17
