What changed

Relative to the prior-quarter analysis, Q2 showed lower adjusted operating earnings per share and premium growth but higher ROE. The growth discussion shifted toward a broader pipeline of longevity, asset-intensive reinsurance, technology-enabled products, and strategic partnerships, while the analysis identified a roughly $100 million in-force management benefit as a key durability question.

Guidance delta

No guidance was provided in the supplied analysis.

Key takeaways

  • Adjusted operating earnings were $5.48 per share and ROE was 15.3%, above stated targets.
  • Premiums increased 17.5% quarter over quarter, helped by a $282 million U.S. PRT transaction.
  • Management highlighted pipelines in longevity swaps, asset-intensive reinsurance, digital underwriting, and proprietary life products.
  • RGA reported roughly $1 billion of excess capital and deployed $307 million into in-force transactions.
