Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Voya Financial, Inc. (the "Company", "we" and "our") is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose alternative investment income expectations prior to the availability of the Company’s quarterly earnings release and quarterly financial supplement for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, scheduled for release on November 2, 2026.
Alternative Investment Income.
For the third quarter of 2026, the Company's combined alternative investment income is estimated to be approximately $40 million - $50 million (pre-tax), before variable and incentive compensation. The mid-point of this range represents an annualized return of approximately 8.5%. Included in these figures is alternative investment income in our general account and investment capital returns in our Investment Management segment.
The preliminary financial results presented above are the responsibility of management and have been prepared in good faith on a consistent basis with prior periods. Because we have not yet completed our financial closing procedures for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2026, however, our actual results could be materially different from these preliminary financial results. In addition, Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary financial results and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary financial results. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we may identify items that would require us to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial results presented above. As a result, prospective investors should exercise caution in relying on this information and should not draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not provided. These preliminary financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The information in this current report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company does not assume any obligation to revise or update these statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or changes in strategy. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statement also include those described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Trends and Uncertainties” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other documents filed from time to time with the SEC, as applicable, all of which are available at www.sec.gov.
As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
