Primerica, Inc. (NYSE: PRI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total revenues of $742.8 million increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Net income of $137.9 million increased 8%, while earnings per diluted share of $3.93 increased 14% compared to the prior year period.
Adjusted operating revenues of $741.7 million increased 7% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted net operating income of $137.0 million increased 4%, while adjusted operating earnings per diluted share of $3.91 increased 10% compared to the prior year period.
Financial results during the first quarter of 2024 reflected the stability of the Company’s large in-force block of term life insurance, higher investment products sales, appreciation of client asset values, and the impact of higher interest rates on net investment income. Results were partly offset by weakness in the Senior Health business, which reported a loss of $14 million. Distribution results demonstrated sustained momentum in recruiting and the Company’s continued success in licensing new representatives.
“Our financial results reflect the fundamental strength in our core Term Life and ISP segments and the predictability of our model, particularly during uncertain times,”
said Glenn Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Primerica, inc.
