Unum Group filed its annual report describing a diversified employee-benefits insurer operating in the U.S., U.K., Poland and select other markets. The company focuses on workplace disability, life, accident, critical illness, dental, vision and related services, largely sold through employers.
Three core operating segments — Unum US, Unum International and Colonial Life — generated most premium income in 2025, led by Unum US at 65.4 percent. Closed Block houses legacy long-term care and other discontinued lines, while the Corporate segment captures unallocated investment income and corporate-level costs.
Management highlights disciplined pricing, risk management and extensive reinsurance, including a 2025 coinsurance deal with Fortitude Re covering portions of long-term care and individual disability. The report also outlines regulatory capital frameworks, cybersecurity and data-privacy requirements, tax developments, climate and AI-related oversight, and detailed human-capital and governance disclosures.

After this transaction, Pyne beneficially owned 50,034 Unum equity-linked interests, consisting of 25,248 shares of common stock, 20,623 restricted stock units, and 4,163 stock success units, all of which can settle 1-for-1 in Unum common shares.
Unum Group reported softer GAAP results but solid underlying performance for the fourth quarter of 2025 and outlined growth plans for 2026. Fourth-quarter net income was $174.1 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, down from $348.7 million a year earlier, largely due to items such as a $82.0 million after-tax settlement loss on a U.S. pension annuity purchase and a $15.8 million accelerated charitable contribution. Excluding investment losses, reinsurance-related items, and other specified adjustments, after-tax adjusted operating income was $322.3 million, or $1.92 per diluted share.
For full-year 2025, Unum generated $13.1 billion in revenue and $1.406 billion of after-tax adjusted operating income ($8.13 per diluted share). Core operations delivered an adjusted operating return on equity of 20.5%, supported by premium growth and disciplined underwriting across Unum US, Unum International, and Colonial Life.
Capital strength remained a key theme. Book value per common share was $67.11 at December 31, 2025, or $78.02 excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss. The weighted average risk-based capital ratio for Unum’s traditional U.S. insurance companies was about 440%, and holding company liquidity totaled $2.3 billion. During 2025, Unum returned roughly $1.3 billion to shareholders, including $1.0 billion of share repurchases and $307.2 million in common dividends, while reducing diluted weighted average shares to 172.9 million for the year.
Segment results were mixed. Unum US adjusted operating income declined to $289.7 million for the quarter, with group disability facing higher benefit ratios and lower sales in long-term disability, partially offset by growth in group life premiums and improved group life benefit ratios. Supplemental and voluntary benefits saw premium growth but lower adjusted operating income due to higher benefit ratios in voluntary, individual disability, and dental and vision products. Unum International’s adjusted operating income fell to $33.2 million, even as premium income rose 17.1%, reflecting higher benefit ratios in Unum UK. Colonial Life posted a 7.2% decrease in adjusted operating income to $113.9 million despite 3.2% premium growth and 10.0% higher sales.
The Closed Block segment, which houses legacy long-term care and other runoff blocks, reported quarterly adjusted operating income of $21.1 million but a large full-year GAAP loss driven by reinsurance effects and reserve updates, including the Fortitude Re long-term care reinsurance transaction. Management highlighted that reinsurance and the decision to stop accepting new enrollments on existing group long-term care policies have reduced the Closed Block’s relevance to future results.
Unum emphasized several non-GAAP metrics it believes better reflect ongoing performance, including after-tax adjusted operating income, book value per share excluding AOCI, premium income in constant currency, and adjusted operating return on equity. Core operations premium income in constant currency grew 3.7% in 2025, and the company achieved a 20.5% adjusted operating ROE on average allocated equity for its core segments.
Looking ahead, beginning in 2026 Unum plans to redefine after-tax adjusted operating income to exclude the Closed Block segment as well as certain reinsurance amortization items. On this redefined basis, 2025 after-tax adjusted operating income would have been $1.3716 billion, or $7.93 per diluted share. For full-year 2026, Unum is targeting after-tax adjusted operating income per share of $8.60 to $8.90, representing approximately 8% to 12% growth over the redefined 2025 result, supported by an outlook for core operations premium growth of 4% to 7%. Management expects positive business trends to continue, citing solid sales pipelines, ongoing investments in digital capabilities, and strong capital levels.
