Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Assurant, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that it expects to record approximately $138 million pre-tax, or $109 million after-tax, of reportable catastrophes for third quarter 2024, primarily within its Global Housing segment. Reportable catastrophes were primarily within lender-placed, mainly driven by $92 million pre-tax from Hurricane Helene. The remainder came from Hurricane Beryl, Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Francine.
The Company’s reportable catastrophes include individual catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5 million, pre-tax, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments and including reinstatement and other premiums.
Hurricane Milton is expected to be a reportable catastrophe for fourth quarter 2024. The Company expects to provide additional details during its third quarter 2024 earnings call on November 6, 2024.
The information being furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
