For full-year 2021, the company expects:

Assurant net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share6, to increase approximately 10 to 14 percent from $9.88 in 2020.

Results for 2021 are expected to be driven primarily by growth within Global Lifestyle and a lower Corporate and Other loss, as well as share repurchases, including the completion of the company's three-year capital return objective and initial deployment of proceeds from the sale of Global Preneed.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Assurant uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the company's operating performance for the periods presented in this news release. Assurant's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Because Assurant's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Assurant's non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.

(1)   

Assurant uses net operating income as an important measure of the company's operating performance. Net operating income equals GAAP net income from continuing operations, excluding 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, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes. It also excludes restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities as these are highly unusual, transformative actions associated with realigning resources to the company's business strategies, outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities. The company believes net operating income provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the company's ongoing business because the excluded items do not represent the ongoing operations of the company. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations.

Assurant uses net operating income per diluted share as an important measure of the company's stockholder value. Net operating income per diluted share equals net operating income (defined above) plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends divided by the weighted average number of 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. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations per diluted share, defined as net income from continuing operations plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends less net income from non-controlling interests divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.

The company believes this metric provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the company's ongoing business because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations.

(5)   

Assurant uses Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, as an important measure of the company's performance. Assurant defines Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, as net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes (defined above), excluding interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization of purchased intangible assets. Amortization of purchased intangible assets is excluded from this non-GAAP measure of performance because the company believes it (i) enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze the ongoing operations of its businesses and (ii) facilitates comparisons of its operating performance over multiple periods, as the amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing, size, nature and number of acquisitions. Although the company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets from Adjusted EBITDA, revenue generated from such intangible assets is included within the revenue in determining Adjusted EBITDA. The company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a valuable measure of the company's performance, including underlying profitability and ongoing operations, and reflects its ongoing shift to more service-oriented, fee-based businesses. In addition, it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income from continuing operations.

(6)   

The company outlook for (i) net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, per diluted share, (ii) net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, (iii) net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, for Global Lifestyle and Global Housing, (iv) Corporate and Other net operating loss, (v) Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA, excluding reportable catastrophes, for Global Lifestyle, each constitute forward-looking information and the company believes that it cannot reconcile such forward-looking information to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. Many of the GAAP components cannot be reliably quantified due to the combination of variability and volatility of such components and may, depending on the size of the components, have a significant impact on the reconciliation. The company is able to quantify a full-year estimate of interest expense and amortization of purchased intangible assets (pre-tax), which are expected to be approximately $90 million and $65 million, respectively, and a full year of preferred stock dividends for 2021, which will be $5 million. The interest expense estimate assumes no additional debt is incurred or extinguished in the forecast period and excludes after-tax interest expenses included in debt extinguishment and other related costs.

 
(7)   

Segment net operating income of the Global Lifestyle and Global Housing operating segments is equal to GAAP segment net income.

 
(8)   

Assurant uses Corporate and Other net operating loss as an important measure of the Corporate and Other segment's performance. Corporate and Other net operating loss equals GAAP Corporate and Other segment net loss from continuing operations, excluding interest expense, 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, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes. It also excludes restructuring costs related to strategic exit activities as these are highly unusual, transformative actions associated with realigning resources to the company's business strategies, outside of normal periodic restructuring and cost management activities. The company believes Corporate and Other net operating loss provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the company's Corporate and Other segment because it excludes highly variable items that do not represent the ongoing results of such segment. The comparable GAAP measure is Corporate and Other segment net loss from continuing operations.
