Voya Financial announces third-quarter 2023 results

Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), a leading health, wealth and investment company, announced today its third-quarter 2023 financial results:

  • Net income available to common shareholders of $2.29 per diluted share.
  • After-tax adjusted operating earnings1 of $1.74 per diluted share (EPS), which reflects the continued benefit of Voya's diversified revenue streams and strong margins.
  • Strong cash generation and balanced excess capital return:
    • Approximately $0.3 billion in excess capital deployed in third-quarter 2023, including $140 million in debt redemption; approximately $50 million to acquire interest in India joint venture; and $96 million in share repurchases and common stock dividends.
    • Approximately $0.8 billion of excess capital generated during the trailing 12 months (TTM) ended Sept. 30, 2023.
    • As of Sept. 30, 2023, Voya had approximately $0.4 billion of excess capital, reflecting capital generation of over 90% of after-tax adjusted operating earnings in third-quarter 2023 and for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023.

"In the third quarter of 2023, we continued to execute on our strategic priorities and delivered $1.74 per diluted share of after-tax adjusted operating EPS, which reflects the benefit of our diversified revenue streams and prudent expense management," said Heather Lavallee, chief executive officer, Voya Financial. "During the quarter, we drove further commercial momentum in each of our businesses; we maintained a strong focus on margins; and we deployed further excess capital generated by our high free-cash-flow businesses. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, we continue to execute on our strategy and — as a result of our strong client relationships and engagement — we are confident in our ability to continue to drive commercial momentum, while also closely managing spending and prudently deploying capital. These elements give us confidence in our Investor Day target of 12% to 17% EPS growth through the three-year period ending in 2024.

"Underpinning our accomplishments are our purpose and vision, which we activate by serving the needs of our clients, as well as supporting our colleagues and our communities. For example, in the third quarter, we expanded our critical illness and accident insurance products to offer new benefits and coverage that focus on mental health; we earned further recognition as a best place to work; and Voya employees positively impacted our communities by raising more than $1.5 million for 1,900 charitable causes through our annual Employee Giving Campaign," added Lavallee.

Consolidated Results

Third-quarter 2023 net income available to common shareholders was $248 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, compared with $166 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, in third-quarter 2022. The increase was primarily due to gains within businesses exited, net investment gains and lower acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by lower after-tax adjusted operating earnings.

Third-quarter 2023 after-tax adjusted operating earnings were $189 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared with $210 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, in third-quarter 2022. The decrease was largely due to lower net underwriting results, partially offset by higher fee income.

Business Segment Results

Wealth Solutions

Wealth Solutions third-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $179 million, up from $128 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher alternative investment income as well as favorable equity market impacts to fee-based margins — all partially offset by lower investment spreads.

For the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, full-service recurring deposits grew 10.2% to $14.4 billion compared with the prior-year period, largely due to growth in Corporate markets. Total client assets as of Sept. 30, 2023, were $510 billion, up 12% compared with Sept. 30, 2022, due to growth in the business and higher equity market levels year over year.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, grew 1.4% compared with the prior-year period as an increase in spread-based revenues more than offset a decline in fee-based margins. Adjusted operating margin for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 37.8%, compared with 37.9% in the prior-year period.

Health Solutions

Health Solutions third-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $53 million, down from $154 million in the prior-year period. The decline was largely attributable to the prior-year period benefiting from exceptionally strong underwriting results and a favorable reserve adjustment.

Health Solutions third-quarter 2023 annualized in-force premiums and fees grew 21.1% to $3.3 billion compared with the prior-year period. The increase reflects growth across all product lines, favorable retention and the positive impact of the Benefitfocus acquisition, which closed in January 2023. Excluding Benefitfocus, annualized in-force premiums and fees grew 14.7% compared with the prior-year period.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, grew 35.8% compared with the prior-year period due to the Benefitfocus acquisition, premium growth across all product lines and a favorable aggregate loss ratio. (Excluding Benefitfocus, net revenues, excluding notables, grew 17.7%.) Adjusted operating margin for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 32.2%, compared with 31.2% in the prior-year period.

Investment Management

Investment Management third-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings, excluding Allianz's noncontrolling interest, were $49 million, up from $38 million in the prior-year period. The increase was largely due to higher fee revenues resulting from the Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) transaction, which closed in July 2022, and positive investment capital returns.

Investment Management had net outflows (excluding divested businesses) of $8.4 billion during the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023 — positive Retail net flows and momentum resulting from the company's international distribution through AllianzGI were more than offset by macroeconomic headwinds impacting the industry and the unwinding of the company's former international distribution partnership.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, grew 21.8% as additional revenues from the AllianzGI transaction more than offset the impact of macroeconomic headwinds on both equity and fixed income fees, particularly in Retail. Adjusted operating margin for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 25.5%, compared with 26.0% in the prior-year period.
