Aflac Reports Q3 Earnings with Non-GAAP EPS Beat Amid Revenue Decline
Aflac Incorporated (AFL) reported third-quarter financial results characterized by a significant earnings beat alongside a substantial revenue miss. The company's Non-GAAP earnings per share reached $2.43, exceeding analyst expectations by $0.63. However, total revenue fell to $3.27 billion, representing a 31% year-over-year decline and missing estimates by approximately $940 million. Despite the top-line contraction, Aflac demonstrated strong profitability metrics, reporting an annualized adjusted return on equity (excluding foreign currency remeasurement) of 23.7%. Looking forward, the company is focusing on operational efficiencies in its Japan segment, targeting a benefit ratio in the high 60% to low 63% range and seeking a $50 million run-rate lift through portfolio repositioning.
