Expert Statements

Don Cummings, Chief Executive Officer and President of Jackson

“Our third quarter results reflect the strength of our business and consistent execution against our strategy. We grew adjusted operating earnings per share, while delivering record retail annuity sales, up 22% year over year. Our distribution reach will be further enhanced by our recent announcement that Jackson has been named the exclusive provider of annuities for AARP members through the AARP(®) Annuity Program from Jackson(®). Through this program, a distinct set of Jackson annuities will be available directly to millions of AARP members, helping them pursue long-term financial stability. Our spread business continues to perform well, driven by our broad, flexible product lineup, the enhanced capabilities of PPM, and our growing partnership with TPG. Our robust in-force book of business delivered substantial progress toward our financial targets, with $281 million of free capital generation in the third quarter, $291 million of capital return to common shareholders, and healthy levels of excess cash at the holding company. We believe we are well positioned for the future and remain committed to helping Americans achieve financial freedom for life.”
