Voya Financial announces second-quarter 2023 results

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

  • Net income available to common shareholders of $1.41 per diluted share.
  • After-tax adjusted operating earnings1 of $2.21 per diluted share (EPS).
  • Strong excess capital generation and continued commitment to capital return:
    • Approximately $0.2 billion in excess capital deployed in second-quarter 2023 — including $162 million in share repurchases and $21 million in common stock dividends.
    • Board of directors authorizes doubling of common stock dividend to $0.40 per share.
    • Board of directors authorizes the repurchase of an additional $500 million of common stock.

"In the second quarter of 2023, adjusted operating EPS grew 30% compared with the prior-year period, reflecting the benefit of our diverse revenue streams and prudent expense management," said Heather Lavallee, chief executive officer, Voya Financial. "For the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2023, we grew net revenues, excluding notables, in each of our businesses and also continued to achieve strong margins. At the same time, we reduced administrative expenses compared with first-quarter 2023. Our strategy — which centers around the current and growing needs of employers, employees and intermediaries — will enable us to continue to advance our growth plans and create positive outcomes for all of our stakeholders.

"In addition to having a strong leadership position in our industry, Voya continues to distinguish itself through our high free-cash-flow businesses. During the second quarter, we generated and deployed approximately $0.2 billion of excess capital through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. Last week, we announced the doubling of our common stock dividend to $0.40 per share, demonstrating confidence in our cash generation capabilities and our commitment to delivering shareholder value. We will continue to use excess capital to drive greater value through reinvestments in our business, share repurchases, debt redemption and dividends.

"Our purpose and vision — which continue to underpin our strong culture and set Voya apart in our industry — are enabling us to drive positive outcomes for our clients; support our colleagues; and serve the communities in which we live and work. For example, we are growing adoption of myVoyage — our first-of-its-kind, personalized financial-guidance and workplace-benefits platform — across our client base. And our employees continued to give back to our communities, volunteering more than 13,000 hours and helping over 2,600 non-profits across the U.S. through our National Days of Service in May," added Lavallee.

Consolidated Results

Second-quarter 2023 net income available to common shareholders was $154 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared with $64 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in second-quarter 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher after-tax adjusted operating earnings, lower losses related to business exited and lower net investment losses, partially offset by higher acquisition and integration costs.

Second-quarter 2023 after-tax adjusted operating earnings were $243 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, compared with $188 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, in second-quarter 2022. The increase was largely due to strong net underwriting results.

Business Segment Results

Wealth Solutions

Wealth Solutions second-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $174 million, down from $197 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher administrative expenses and lower alternative investment income.

For the trailing 12 months (TTM) ended June 30, 2023, full-service recurring deposits grew 9.5% to $14.0 billion compared with the prior-year period, largely due to growth in Corporate markets. Total client assets as of June 30, 2023, were $519 billion, up 11% compared with June 30, 2022, due to growth in the business and higher equity market levels.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended June 30, 2023, grew 1.4% compared with the prior-year period as spread-based revenues benefited from higher interest rates and more than offset the impact of lower average equity markets on fee-based margins. Adjusted operating margin for the TTM ended June 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 37.7%, unchanged from 37.7% in the prior-year period.

Health Solutions

Health Solutions second-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings were $124 million, up from $50 million in the prior-year period due to strong in-force block growth, favorable underwriting results and the positive impact of the Benefitfocus acquisition, which closed in January 2023.

Health Solutions second-quarter 2023 annualized in-force premiums and fees grew 22.2% to $3.3 billion compared with the prior-year period. The strong increase reflects growth across all product lines, favorable retention and the positive impact of the Benefitfocus acquisition.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended June 30, 2023, grew 42.8% compared with the prior-year period due to the Benefitfocus acquisition, premium growth across all product lines and favorable net underwriting gains driven by Stop Loss. Adjusted operating margin for the TTM ended June 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 35.8%, up from 29.6% in the prior-year period.

Investment Management

Investment Management second-quarter 2023 pre-tax adjusted operating earnings, excluding Allianz's noncontrolling interest, were $50 million, up from $40 million in the prior-year period largely due to the positive impact of the Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) transaction, which closed in July 2022.

Investment Management had net outflows (excluding divested businesses) of $5.1 billion during the TTM ended June 30, 2023. Net outflows in Institutional were partially offset by net inflows in Retail.

Excluding notables, net revenues for the TTM ended June 30, 2023 grew 24.0% 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 June 30, 2023, excluding notables, was 26.4%, up from 24.1% in the prior-year period.

Capital

During the TTM ended June 30, 2023, Voya deployed approximately $1.1 billion of excess capital, including approximately $0.6 billion for acquisitions, $0.2 billion for share repurchases, $0.2 billion for debt redemption and $0.1 billion for common stock dividends. As of June 30, 2023, the company had approximately $0.5 billion of excess capital, reflecting capital generation of over 90% of adjusted operating earnings for the TTM ended June 30, 2023.

Voya announced today that its board of directors has increased the company’s authorization to repurchase common stock under the company’s share repurchase program by $500 million, bringing the total to approximately $609 million. This share repurchase authorization expires on Sept. 30, 2024, (unless extended) and does not obligate the company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the board of directors at any time.
