Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  1. Assurant uses net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes (which represents catastrophe losses net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments and including reinstatement and other premiums), as an important measure of the company’s operating performance. Net operating income equals net income attributable to common stockholders, excluding Global Preneed goodwill impairment, net realized gains (losses) on investments (which includes unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and changes in fair value of direct investments in collateralized loan obligations), COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, the CARES Act tax benefit, foreign exchange gains (losses) from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, the net charge related to Iké, as well as other highly variable or unusual items. Additionally, it excludes reportable catastrophes which represent catastrophe losses net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments and including reinstatement and other premiums. The company believes net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the company’s ongoing business because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company and because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to common stockholders.

  1. Assurant uses net operating income per diluted share, excluding reportable catastrophes, as another important measure of the company’s stockholder value. Net operating income per diluted share equals net operating income (defined above), excluding reportable catastrophes (defined above), plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The company believes this metric provides investors with a valuable measure of stockholder value because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the Company and because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to common stockholders plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
