Best’s Special Report: U.S. Life/Annuity Industry Sees 5.7% Net Income Decline in 2023

The U.S. life/annuity (L/A) industry posted a 5.7% decline in net income to $37.6 billion in 2023, which included $15.0 billion of net realized capital losses, according to AM Best. These preliminary results are detailed in a new Best’s Special Report, titled, “First Look: 2023 Life/Annuity Financial Results,” and the data is derived from companies’ annual statutory statements received as of March 20, 2024, representing an estimated 99% of the total L/A industry’s premiums and annuity considerations.

According to the report, the L/A industry’s total income slide 1.1% in 2023 from the prior year, driven by a 3.0% decline in premiums and annuity considerations (net of reinsurance), which were offset by a 9.5% increase in net investment income. Industry expenses declined 1.9%, due to a 14.1% reduction in general and other insurance expenses and a $35.8 billion increase in net transfers to separate accounts. The resulting pretax net operating gain of $65.7 billion was up 12.6% from the prior year.

Capital and surplus rose 5%, to $506.1 billion, from the end of 2022, as a combined $69.8 billion in net income, contributed capital, change in unrealized gains, and other changes in surplus were reduced by $47.1 billion, owing to a change in asset valuation reserve and stockholder dividends.
