Assurant opened 2026 with what management described as the strongest quarter in the company's history, posting record earnings in Global Lifestyle and delivering 6% adjusted EBITDA growth and 9% adjusted EPS growth, both excluding reportable catastrophes. Stripping out the drag from lower favorable prior-year reserve development in Global Housing, $94 million less in 2026 versus 2025, the underlying growth picture is considerably stronger: 8% EBITDA and 12% EPS on that basis. The headline beat prompted management to raise full-year guidance, with Lifestyle now expected to grow approximately 10% and overall adjusted EBITDA and EPS now guided to low single-digit growth excluding cats, or high single digits on an underlying basis excluding prior-year development.
